Chapter 165 Unexpected Promise

Shen Yuexi saw Xiao Zhuo pick up the jade cup. She hadn't tested the ingredients of the medicine yet, so she quickly looked around and saw a lamp post standing beside it.

She pretended to be unsteady, staggered, and knocked down the lamppost while falling.

The lamp post smashed directly at a nearby military general. Fortunately, the military general often parried weapons on weekdays, and he stretched out his hand to hold the lamp post.But the wax oil inside the lamp post took advantage of the occasion to spill out and splashed on his head.It was so hot that he jumped up and knocked over the table behind him.

The musicians played non-stop, and the scene was chaotic.

Shen Yuexi was secretly happy, lying on the ground, propped up her upper body with her arms, pretended to dodge her waist, and raised her eyes to look at Xiao Zhuo humming.

I can't believe he can continue to drink.

Xiao Zhuo put the jade cup back on the table, got up and came to Shen Yuexi.Reaching out to help her up, he said softly, "Is it not hurt?"

Shen Yuexi rolled his eyes at him.

Your wife is acting desperately here, not to save your life.

Seeing that Xiao Beiheng and Lin Kui were both staring at her, and it was inconvenient to talk to Xiao Zhuo, she bit her lip and said, "I twisted my ankle, and it seems that I even flicked my waist... Ouch."

While standing up with Xiao Zhuo's help, she continued to communicate with Da Xiong in her heart.

Lin Kui looked at Shen Yuexi and sneered.

This girl is pretending, she really came to disrupt the situation.

Although I don't know how she knew there was poison in the wine, Xiao Zhuo had to drink this wine today if he didn't want to.The servants have already come up to clean up the scene, and the banquet will never stop because of such a trivial matter.

He smiled and said to Shen Yuexi: "Madam Shen must have neglected to practice, so let's go down and rest. After cleaning up, His Royal Highness and Xiao Zhuo still have to taste fine wine."

It means, stop being a monster.We all know each other's thoughts.

Shen Yuexi also understood what Lin Kui meant.He already knew he was acting.

Got up and was about to answer.Big Bear's voice sounded in her mind:
"Dear master, we are collecting the raw materials needed for Aconitum...the progress is 5%...10%...10%, dear master, the raw materials are insufficient, and the production is interrupted."

Fortunately, there were not many poisons in ancient times.After trying more than a dozen drugs, she finally got blindfolded.

Her hanging heart was finally relieved, and she glanced at Lin Kui with a smile and said, "This wine must have taken a lot of work, sir?"

Lin Kui was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right, this is fine wine that has been sealed for ten years. Ordinary people can't drink it if they want to."

Shen Yuexi looked at the beads of sweat oozing from Lin Kui's forehead, and didn't bother to line up with him.Now that Big Bear has extracted the poison, she doesn't have to act here.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Zhuo, she wanted to say to wait for him outside the tent, but when she thought of Lin Kui's despicable methods, it was really cheap for him to just let him go.

You can't hit or scold him, so let's get angry at his head office.

Shen Yuexi said to Xiao Zhuo: "I also want to drink a glass of Mr. Lin's wine."

Lin Kui was taken aback.Knowing that Xiao Zhuo could not be saved, this girl actually wanted to drink poisoned wine with him.Is this to die for love?

Xiao Beiheng smiled and said, "Does Madam Shen want to taste it too? Somebody, take my flagon and pour her a glass."

"No."

"inappropriate."

Two voices sounded one after the other, Xiao Zhuo spoke first, followed by Lin Kui.

What Lin Kui thought was that since Shen Yuexi begged to die by herself, it would fulfill both of you.If you stay, what if one day you get a glass of poisoned wine for His Royal Highness?Xiao Beiheng's wine is non-toxic, so of course she can't drink it.

Xiao Zhuo took a nearby wine cup and returned to his desk, picked up the jug and poured two glasses of wine, one of which was handed to Shen Yuexi.Said: "We can have a drink with His Royal Highness."

Shen Yuexi took the wine cup and glanced at Xiao Zhuo.He found that he was looking at Xiao Beiheng.And Lin Kui stared at him again.Xiao Beiheng was looking at Lin Kui.

It seems that these people have ideas.

But Big Bear has got rid of the poison, and the wine is good too.

She was not polite, and took the lead in drinking the wine with her head raised.

The wine enters the throat, sweet and sizzling.Lin Kui really didn't fool her about this, the wine was mellow and soft, it was really not the kind of high-end wine she usually drank.Maybe it's been ten years.

"Okay, Mrs. Shen is really bold," Xiao Beiheng raised the jade cup and said to Xiao Zhuo, "Come on, let's drink from this cup."

Xiao Zhuo also raised his glass to signal, and drank the wine together with Xiao Beiheng.

Lin Kui was so excited that his hands shook, he looked first at Xiao Zhuo, then at Shen Yuexi.After drinking poisoned wine, the maximum count is sixty, and they will die from poisoning.

Xiao Beiheng said to Xiao Zhuo: "I just discussed with you, you can make a quick decision. This son will not wait too long."

Xiao Zhuo put down the jade cup and said, "I have my own sense of proportion."

"Generals, send Xiao Zhuo and his wife out of the camp." Xiao Beiheng left the table and ordered the generals to see him off.

Lin Kui followed Xiao Beiheng, counting in his heart.

The more things went wrong, the count in my heart reached more than 100, why are there nothing wrong with Xiao Yao and Shen Yuexi?

He wondered secretly, could it be that the amount was lowered?Do you want to stop counting a hundred numbers?
After counting to more than 400, Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi were about to leave the gate of the camp.Still nothing happened.But Shen Yuexi turned around before getting into the car, and said to him with a smile:
"Mr. Lin's wine is really good wine. I didn't feel much when I drank it, but now it's a little bit better..."

Above... Could it be that the toxicity is about to break out?
Lin Kui was secretly happy at first, but then felt something was wrong.It's impossible for the aconitum poisoning attack to be related to drunkenness.

He stood at the gate of the camp, staring dumbfounded at Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi's carriage going away.

They counted to almost a thousand, and the poison obviously didn't work.

It's really puzzling.

He was still thinking about it, and there was a flash of cold light, and he felt his neck was chilly, as if a steel needle had been pierced into his skin.

Looking down, it turned out that Sen Leng's sword was resting on his neck, and the hilt was in Xiao Beiheng's hand.

"Your Highness, why..." He didn't dare to move, so he tilted his head and asked, "Why is this so?"

"You are too self-assertive, and almost missed my important event!" Xiao Beiheng said coldly, "Did you forget who is the master and who is the slave?"

Lin Kui rolled his eyes and understood immediately.

Xiao Beiheng probably knew that he was poisoned in the wine?
"Your Highness, this subordinate is loyal...I just want to get rid of Xiao Zhuo for His Royal Highness." He hastily argued.

"My son knows you are loyal, otherwise you would be dead!" Xiao Beiheng removed the blade from his neck and put the sword back into its sheath, "Why didn't the two of them show signs of being poisoned?"

Lin Kui couldn't tell.If he said he was poisoned, but he was fine.Doesn't that prove that he can't even poison himself well.

"This subordinate was planning to poison you," he said with a mournful face, "but then I thought, if...if Xiao Zhuo was poisoned to death, it might be bad for His Royal Highness, so I didn't...really poison him."

If the poisoning failed, he simply said that he did not poison, so as to restore some impression in the heart of His Royal Highness.

Xiao Beiheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "If that's the case, then it means that you are still worthy of being my subordinate."

Seeing that the crisis was over, Lin Kui asked, thinking of Xiao Beiheng's words just now, "Your Highness, what do you mean when you said that you almost missed your important event?"

Xiao Beiheng turned around and walked into the camp, and said slowly: "You were not there at that time. My son made an agreement with Xiao Zhuo to give him three months to occupy Xiliang."

"Huh?" Lin Kui was dumbfounded.

Is there anything wrong with His Royal Highness, to let Xiao Zhuo occupy Xiliang?
He took a few steps, followed Xiao Beiheng and said, "Your Highness, King Qi sent us here for Xiliang, but we stood by and let Xiao Zhuo take it?"

"Well, that's right." The corners of Xiao Beiheng's mouth curled up, "My son said, if he doesn't take it, I will take it. It's really interesting to think about his painful expression at this time."

"His Royal Highness, this subordinate really can't figure out the reason."

"Prince Jing has always regarded Xiliang as something in his pocket. If we go to occupy it, we must fight against Prince Jing's hundreds of thousands of troops." Xiao Beiheng turned to look at Lin Kui, "I let Xiao Zhuo stand in front."

Lin Kui suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said: "Sure enough, it's a great plan. In this way, Xiao Zhuo can be used to weaken King Jing's strength. When both sides fight to the point of losing, we can reap the benefits."

"That's right, Xiao Zhuo has to occupy it if he doesn't want to. He is friends with Mei Pu, the prince of Xiliang, and he can't tolerate me occupying his friend's territory. He must do this matter." Xiao Beiheng smiled, "Prince Jing , King Xiliang, Xiao Zhuo...let them fight, and I will catch them all in one go."

Lin Kui was overjoyed.

At first, he only thought that Xiao Beiheng's goal was Xiliang.

Only now did he understand that Xiao Beiheng's real goal was to pacify the entire west.
