Chapter 323 The Male and Female Protagonists
The miasma rose too quickly, and when the other party retreated, the miasma was already very thick. She wanted to return the same way, but found the scenes were all unfamiliar.
She couldn't find the right direction to go back.
She studied the situation for at least quarter of an hour before she realized that the group of people had been changing their formation while fighting with her. It should be a formation.
She had been led by the other party to an unfamiliar place without realizing it.
The route she had originally memorized no longer counted.
After finding the reason, she began to recall the details of her fight with those people, not daring to miss a single detail.
It was at this time that she saw Li Ying. Li Ying was unconscious and was being carried by a Maple Leaf Valley disciple.
He also had an impression of the Maple Leaf Valley disciple, who was said by Lian Li and Yun Huizhou to be problematic and a possible traitor.
Qu Tingquan also paid more attention to the other party and found that the disciple was indeed secretly guiding them to agree to Hou Yuanpeng's proposal every time he spoke.
When Qu Tingquan saw Li Ying unconscious and being taken away by him, he immediately knew something was wrong.
Especially in this situation, the other party's first reaction when he saw her was not surprise, but simple shock and a little panic, which made Qu Tingquan more certain of the other party's problem.
So, without any hesitation, she tried to snatch Li Ying away.
The disciple also turned and ran. His familiarity with the forest further revealed his problems.
Because the other party's martial arts were much inferior to Qu Tingquan's, she snatched Li Ying back in less than half a cup of tea.
However, the other party led her around in circles in the woods, confusing her again just when she was about to find the right direction.
It was already a quarter of an hour later when she woke up Li Ying. She learned from Li Ying that he was indeed taken away by that disciple.
Qu Tingquan keenly sensed that something was wrong. Li Ying had already fallen into a coma, and it would be easy for the other party to kill him.
Why didn't that person kill him?
It's not that she is cruel, but she believes that the other party's purpose is to make Li Ying disappear in order to delay the people of Maple Leaf Valley, so whether Li Ying is dead or alive is not so important.
However, the other party did not choose to kill Li Ying more easily, but instead knocked him unconscious and took him away.
There must be other plots behind this.
She told Li Ying about her idea, and they discussed it, but they still had no clue.
It was at this time that Li Ying showed signs of poisoning, and Qu Tingquan's body also showed something wrong. She immediately knew that she had been in the miasma for too long and was being poisoned.
So she did not hesitate and used her internal force to activate the holy insect in her body. The insect could transform the toxin into its own energy.
After studying it for a period of time for Master Xi on Zuimeng Island, she suppressed the poisonous insect so that the one that had come back to life would not attack her.
At the same time, she also learned some witchcraft from Master Xidao. If we only talk about witchcraft, Master Xidao, who did not focus on this, would definitely not be as good as the leader and the great elder of the Spiritual Cult.
But his level was limited, and he was very specialized in medicine and poison, so his witchcraft was only inferior to that of the leader and the great elder of the Spiritual Sect.
During the time Qu Tingquan was on Zuimeng Island, she learned a lot from the Island Master Xi, who also helped her restrict the Holy Gu.
She is now basically able to control the insect. Even if the leader of the Spiritual Cult comes to compete with her for control of the insect, with the restrictions of the West Island Master and some of the witchcraft she has learned, she will never be helpless like before.
But she couldn't feed the insect too much, otherwise the insect would be too full and have enough energy to break the restrictions set by the Lord of West Island, which would be quite troublesome for her.
There were not many books about Gu in the library of Lord Xidao, but they were all excellent. Qu Tingquan was not surprised at all when he saw them.
The owner of Xidao Island has always collected and used only the best.
During the time she was on Zuimeng Island, in addition to cooperating with the island master Xi on research, she basically spent the rest of her time copying books about Gu in the library.
Finally, when he left, he had managed to copy all the books about Gu. Of course, 70% of them were copied by Zhao Honglan who had nothing to do on Zuimeng Island.
Thinking of his book on witchcraft, Qu Tingquan couldn't help but think of Zhao Honglan.
I don’t know how Hong Lan is doing now.
After Yun Huizhou met General Lei, although he did not tell her directly, he also implicitly let her know that Hong Lan in the capital was under the care of General Lei.
But she always felt uneasy because there was no news.
However, this emotion did not last too long and did not affect her too much. After all, she was also in crisis now.
Beijing.
That day, Zhao Honglan hid in a secluded corner of the palace under the pretext of changing clothes, and finally found his way to the little emperor's bedroom at night.
It was also thanks to Miss Li who provided the approximate location of the emperor's bedroom that he was able to find it successfully on the first day.
It’s not that he doesn’t dare to enter the bedroom, but he can’t act rashly.
If discovered, escaping from the palace is still possible, but escaping from the capital city would be a big problem.
He observed the guards near the little emperor's bedroom in a dark corner until midnight, when he finally discovered a clue.
These guards were more like watching over the little emperor than protecting him.
Zhao Honglan was not surprised by this information. If Cai Yong wanted to control the government, he must have everything about the little emperor under his control.
Make sure the little emperor doesn't do anything secretly.
The current little emperor has been on the throne for two years and is already eleven years old, which is considered a rather dangerous age.
He would most likely die suddenly of illness when he was one or two years older.
Even if he was very law-abiding and had no intention of taking back power, he could not escape the fate of death from illness.
The previous few young emperors really did not want to take back power at all, and even frantically delegated power to Cai Yong.
He even handed over the imperial seal, but in the end he could not escape death from illness.
Cai Yong felt that as the young emperor grew older and sat on the throne for a long time, sooner or later he would have some thoughts about all of this.
He believed that this was human nature, and he himself was such a person. In order to prevent the other party from being such a person, the little emperor basically would not live past the age of twelve.
These things were told to Zhao Honglan by General Lei's men after he contacted them.
They have been in the capital for many years and have observed the young emperor for two years, so they have a certain understanding of him.
The little emperor, who is about to die, is likely to grasp at the last straw.
During the shift change in the middle of the night, Zhao Honglan finally found an opportunity and sneaked into the little emperor's bedroom.
