The route to the Medical Office was planned by Yu Chiqiu early in the morning. He made many arrangements behind Su Chengjing and An Yanheng's back. He knew all the actions and even the final outcome this time, and he had already prepared them well. Prepare.

The Medical Department is not close to the dining room, even almost completely opposite.This is not in line with the layout of the general court, but Lan Xu's current royal family has a lot of research on medicine and poison, so it is not difficult to understand that the Department of Medicine has become extremely important.

Because of the time delay, the guards of the Medical Administration had completed their shift change, and they were divided into five groups with a total of 25 people, patrolling alternately and non-stop.In terms of martial arts, Yu Chiqiu thought that it would not be difficult to knock down 25 people, but if it can't be solved in an instant, as long as one of them shouts, it will attract a large number of inner palace guards.

Yu Chiqiu patiently waited for the opportunity.He found that the formation of these 25 people looked meticulous, but it was not without flaws.Because the Medical Department occupies a large area, when the five groups of guards patrol the outside, there will always be a dead corner that becomes a gap, although it is only for a short time, it is enough for Yu Chiqiu to enter.

Yu Chiqiu squeezed a handful of poisoned needles in his hands, and when the next opportunity came, he immediately performed lightness kung fu, and sneaked into the inner courtyard of the Department of Medicine without anyone noticing. The information he got was correct, there were no guards in the inner courtyard , but there are three or four attendants watching the night in it.Yuchiqiu's expression turned cold, the poisonous needles in his hand had already shot out, and the attendants were killed immediately before they could open their mouths.

At this time, kindness was useless, Yu Chiqiu just lowered his eyes slightly to express his guilt, then immediately restrained his emotions, and went forward to search the body of the attendant.After finding the key, he listened intently to the movement outside to make sure that the guards hadn't noticed, and then quietly walked into the medical department room.

Even in the middle of the night, the Department of Medicine is brightly lit.Yu Chiqiu walked slowly, concentrating and holding his breath, he didn't know whether it was because of nervousness, or because he felt that the medical department was shockingly quiet, his palms were involuntarily sweating.

"Whoever comes in, don't let me know!"

When the thunder suddenly appeared, Yu Chiqiu's figure was like lightning, and he had already suppressed the person who made the sound in an instant.The poisonous needle glowing with cold light was pressed against the man's neck, and the protruding Adam's apple was almost touching the needle tip.

The man's hair was already grey, and he looked over 60 years old. Because of his old age, Yu Chiqiu didn't kill him immediately.The man was not surprised, he even seemed to know that Yu Chiqiu was coming, and sighed softly: "You still came."

Yu Chiqiu was slightly startled, but did not remove the poisonous needle: "Do you recognize me?" He tilted his head slightly, and remained quite vigilant about the situation outside the house.

"I don't know." The man chuckled, "Although I don't know you, our ancestors have a deep connection. My He family has been a Lanxu medical officer for generations, and it has been passed down to my He Miaoshou generation for more than a hundred years. Yes. My grandfather watched Fenghuang Zi run away and Lan Xu changed his dynasty, and he often mentioned this to me in private." He looked at Yu Chiqiu and said, "You are a descendant of Yuchi's family, right?"

Yu Chiqiu looked slightly cold, "What do you want to say?"

He Miaoshou said: "Young man, why should you be so impatient? I have been in this palace for more than 50 years. I don't know anything, I haven't seen anything. If I want to harm you, can we stand here and have a good talk now? For Lan I know better than you the grievances and grievances of the two generations of royal families before and after Xu, so as soon as you come in, I know why you came."

Yu Chiqiu still didn't dare to relax his vigilance: "How can I trust you?"

He Miao froze his body still, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, my life is in your hands, logically, you are also my old master, in view of these feelings, I should say a few words to you .”

He Miaoshou deliberately spoke arrogantly, and Yu Chiqiu also knew these tricks of playing hard to get.He hesitated for a moment, then slowly put down the poisonous needle, and said: "Okay, you are benevolent, I am righteous, what do you know, tell me." He lowered his hands, and secretly hid some poisonous powder on his fingertips.

"Yuchi's family has come and gone to stare at the Lanxu Palace over the years, and almost every ten years or so, someone from your family broke in either explicitly or covertly." He Miaoshou didn't notice Yuchiqiu's small movements, and smiled relaxedly He smiled, looked straight into Yu Chiqiu's eyes and said, "It's hard for you to pass it down to this generation and still refuse to give up."

Yu Chiqiu sneered and said, "If it were you, would you give up? Mr. He, since your family has been a doctor in Lanxu for generations, you should know what Yaoshi is." He paused, then suddenly thought, "Or, Yaoshi Your own family is involved?"

"Hmph, how can that kind of Xiasanlu thing be compared with my He family?" Speaking of "Yaoshi", He Miaoshou's face was full of contempt, and then suddenly realized, "It turns out that you came here to dazzle the world. They are all staring at my medical department."

He Miaoshou sighed and said: "The methods that dazzle the world are insidious and insidious, which is not what a king should have. It's just that the royal family has changed, so what can we people say?"

Yu Chiqiu said seriously: "That thing shouldn't exist in the world. Mr. He, I don't intend to embarrass you. I want the seed and antidote of the world." Turn your face away and dare not look at him.

He Miaoshou smiled wryly, with a bit of regret: "Yaoshi has no antidote. The person who developed it will not let the antidote appear, and others will not deliberately study such a dirty thing. As for the person who is infected with it... He glanced at Yu Chiqiu, and said in a playful tone, "You should know the result."

"Crazy to death." Yu Chiqiu said this very calmly, and was not disturbed by He Miaoshou's subtly threatening tone, "However, all things are born with mutual generation and mutual restraint. I don't believe that Yaoshi has no antidote, even if there is no antidote now. , and there will always be. Mr. He, let me say it again, I want seeds and antidote." Even under coercion, Yu Chiqiu still maintained a considerable demeanor.

He Miaoshou was speechless for a long time, and looked carefully at Yu Chiqiu, this young man who dared to break into the inner courtyard of the palace in the middle of the night, actually did not look like a vicious person at all.However, even for such a beautiful and gentle young man, he had already taken three lives the moment he entered.

"Okay, come with me." He Miao waved his hand, turned and walked inside. "There are two experts in the inner family there. They recognize me, but they don't recognize you."

"I know." Yu Chiqiu took a deep breath, although he still didn't trust He Miaoshou 100%, but still followed him and walked over.

Passing through the inner room, there is a small corridor, and then went around two small rooms with exactly the same layout. He Miaoshou suddenly stopped at the corner, and after a while, he swaggered around the corner and said loudly: "Brother Wang, Brother Xu, it's me."

A deep male voice over there responded: "Brother He, who did you bring here in the middle of the night?"

He Miaoshou replied: "No one, just a friend."

Another male voice wondered: "What kind of friend did you bring to the Dan room? Do you have a letter from the eldest prince?"

"I came here on the order of the eldest prince." Before He Miaoshou could answer, Yu Chiqiu had already answered loudly.The two guards were both in their 40s, and their martial arts didn't look bad. They were surprised to see Yu Chiqiu coming out, "Here is the handbook."

Yu Chiqiu raised his hand, and there was indeed a small token lying on the palm. The two of them were stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It really is the order of the eldest prince, the eldest prince..." Before they finished speaking, Yuchiqiu A blue light burst out from the other hand, and two poisonous needles were nailed between their eyebrows.

"Tsk tsk, I can't see that you are quite ruthless." He Miao looked at the two dead people and shook his head, "The eldest prince's order has already deceived them anyway, so why not tell a few more lies? "

Yu Chiqiu's expression was as cold as ice: "Their intent to kill is greater than mine." He stepped over the corpses, swept his clothes over one of the corpses, the corpse's hand dropped and threw several small throwing knives, "They just miscalculated. It's time for me to strike."

He Miaoshou squinted his eyes, noncommittal.The two walked into the gate of the alchemy room together, and went down the stairs. There was a faint sweet smell in the air. The further they went down, the colder it felt.

The so-called alchemy room was actually dug underground. Calculated by the inclination and length of the steps, this underground alchemy room was buried very deep and continued for a long distance. It was probably located under the Changyang Palace.Yu Chiqiu suddenly stopped in his tracks and listened attentively, there was a slight sound echoing.

It was a low whimpering sound, very permeating in this cold underground.He Miao walked in front with his hands behind his back, and said softly: "Don't worry, there are no guards below. The eldest prince doesn't like too many people entering here. After all, these things are simply unsightly." The two quickly walked down the steps, passed through the iron gate, A gust of wind came blowing, and He Miaoshou lit the fire lamps everywhere with a torch, illuminating the whole alchemy room.

Yu Chiqiu stared in amazement at the complete picture of the Dan room that gradually appeared before his eyes.The alchemy room is not small, with a long marble table in the middle, one side is occupied by medicine cabinets and bookcases, and dozens of large urns are placed on the other side, which is where the fishy and sweet smell comes from.And the most shocking thing is the dozen or so iron cages occupying half of the pill room.Every cage was stained with rust, and there were seven or eight cages where people were still locked.

Those people didn't notice the arrival of strangers, some were sleeping curled up, a dirty man was lying in a cage and giggling, and two children were sitting opposite each other making scary faces... Old and young, men and women, and even a pregnant woman.

Yu Chiqiu slowly approached one of the cages, and there was a man who looked relatively tidy inside, sleeping soundly.Hearing footsteps, the man suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Yu Chiqiu.

Yu Chiqiu knew this man. He had seen this man in Ningzhou that day among the people who had mixed into Lanxu. He was one of the subordinates of the eldest prince Ning Wu of Lanxu.

"Chang Feng, why are you here?" After a moment of hesitation, Yu Chiqiu asked cautiously.

Changfeng stared at Yuchiqiu, suddenly his eyes turned white, his whole body leaned back in an extremely weird posture, dancing stiffly.Yu Chiqiu was so frightened that he took several steps back, his heart beating like a drum: "Changfeng!"

He Miaoshou came up at the right time and said, "He's completely insane, he doesn't recognize you anymore."

"Yaoshi..." Yu Chiqiu's face suddenly changed. Although he had known for a long time that the poison of "Yaoshi" would eventually lead to madness and dementia, this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, and Changfeng was one of Ning Wu's personal attendants. , It was fine a few months ago, but unexpectedly it is here.

"This person has been imprisoned not long ago, but I haven't seen him before." He Miao shook his head and said, "But those who can be imprisoned here are those whose flowers of Yaoshi have bloomed to the fullest and are almost ready to harvest seeds."

Yu Chiqiu gritted his teeth: "This is how you treat your personal subordinates... Wait, what are you talking about harvesting seeds?"

He Miaoshou explained: "You see, these people are all different, and the results they produced after planting Yaoshi are naturally very different, and the seeds of Yaoshi taken from them are also different. The eldest prince built the alchemy room here , just to study these seeds, and finally get the best seeds." Seeing Yuchiqiu's expression of distress and shock, he suddenly smiled secretly, and said slowly: "And, Mr. Yuchi, you must know that these seeds must survive from these people. Cut it out, otherwise when the person dies, the seeds will also die." He pointed to the Shi Changtai behind Yu Chiqiu.

Yu Chiqiu hurriedly walked away from the stone platform, covered his mouth to suppress the turbulence in his stomach.But He Miaoshou pointed to the big urn behind him and continued: "The seeds that were dissected out are stored in the urn over there."

Yu Chiqiu smelled the faint stench in that sweet smell, turned around and glanced at the big urns, suddenly picked up a paperweight from the shelf beside it, and ruthlessly threw it at the big urns.

It was an angry blow injected with internal force, and the big urn shattered in response, a lump of mushy objects that could not be seen tilted out of the urn, Yu Chiqiu took other things at random and smashed the big urn one by one, and the ground was immediately covered It was messy, the room was smelly and smelly, and it smelled so bad and disgusting that Yu Chiqiu couldn't help but bent down and retched.

He Miao covered his nose with his hands, but he was much calmer, and said in a muffled voice: "You destroyed these, the eldest prince still cuts new ones from these people, why..."

Yu Chiqiu glared at him, then turned back to look for those scrolls on the bookshelf.His movements were extremely fast, and he took out a volume and browsed through ten lines at a glance, hoping to find the content related to Yaoshi.I read more than ten volumes in a row, and they were all ordinary medical records, nothing special.Yuchiqiu felt a little restless, and took another volume at random, but it wasn't a letter, but a box made in the shape of a letter.

"This is..." Yu Chiqiu's heart tightened, and he didn't know what mechanism was touched. The box suddenly emitted a puff of smoke, and He Miao's hand behind him also suddenly reached out and patted on the protrusion of the long stone platform, and then quickly moved towards the iron cage. Go that side.

The accident happened suddenly, Yu Chiqiu reacted very quickly, immediately abandoned the box in his hand and chased after He Miaoshou, but he was still a step too late, the mechanism was activated, and a huge iron railing fell from the sky, blocking Yuchiqiu from the side of the bookshelf amidst a loud bang Can't escape.

"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter approached from far away outside the alchemy room, and saw that the place where the stone wall was originally turned suddenly, revealing a secret door, and then Ning Wu, the eldest prince of Lanxu, led a group of people through the secret door. walked out. "Master Qiu, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Yu Chiqiu glared at He Miao's hand who was slowly retreating behind Ning Wu, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I really shouldn't have believed you."

He Miao replied with a blank face, "You didn't believe me either." He shook his head and continued, "However, Mr. Yuchi, I never lied to you, everything I said was true, I just concealed it. That's all."

Ning Wu looked at Yu Chiqiu with great interest, and continued: "I can testify to this. How about Mr. Qiu, are you satisfied with the answer you are looking for? This secret room has been handed down from my ancestors, but it has never been Let so many outsiders come in. I have been waiting here for half a year, no, the hard work pays off, and I still waited for Mr. Qiu." He clicked his tongue a few times, as if very regretful, "It's a pity that I didn't catch someone like the third prince. Honored guest."

When Yu Chiqiu heard that Ning Wu mentioned Su Chengjing, his anger became even more intense. He took a step forward and was about to question him, but suddenly he staggered, his legs softened and he fell to his knees: "You... what did you put on the box just now? ?”

"What do you think?" Ning Wu smiled triumphantly, "Young Master Qiu is full of poison. If I don't use some means, I can't guarantee that this round will satisfy Young Master Qiu." Seeing Yu Chiqiu's whole body limp, he nodded to the guards beside him. , "Come on, you two, go and invite Mr. Qiu out."

The two guards took the order, opened the mechanism of the iron railing, stepped forward to support Yu Chiqiu from left to right, and brought him in front of Ning Wu.Yu Chiqiu lowered his head so as not to meet Ning Wu's eyes, and after a while, he suddenly laughed out loud.

Ning Wu frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition: "What are you laughing at?" It was too late to speak, and the moment he spoke, Yu Chiqiu's figure swayed, and two bursts of silver light shot out. Pu Ning Wu faced the door.Ning Wu turned pale in shock, and staggered back two steps. A guard beside him flew up to block him, silver light shot into the guard's eyes, and the guard died immediately after screaming.At the same moment, Yu Chiqiu had already broken free from the guards holding him up, and the poisonous powder and silver needles rained down like pear blossoms. He didn't want to fight, so he raised his hand and knocked over the fire lamp in the alchemy room, taking advantage of the chaos through the secret door that Ning Wu came in. rushed out.

The torch fell to the ground and instantly burned into one piece.Ning Wu was guarded by the guards to avoid being injured by poisonous powder and needles. Seeing this situation, Ning Wu suddenly changed color and shouted: "Quickly put out the fire, there is kerosene here!"

He Miao grabbed Ning Wu's sleeve and shouted: "Prince, let's go, Yu Chiqiu must have discovered the existence of kerosene a long time ago, he did it on purpose!"

Ning Wu's face turned blue, and he couldn't help yelling, but he had no choice but to leave the alchemy room under the guard of the crowd, and immediately ordered someone to close the secret door.
