Chapter 229 The Poison King is Coming

After several fierce attacks, the groups of assassins sent by Xiao Jingyi still failed to hurt Xiao Jinghan. At this time, the imperial envoys had already arrived in Nanyi City. They looked solemn and solemnly read the imperial edict of Emperor Wen.

Xiao Jingyi knelt respectfully to receive the imperial edict, but when he heard the contents of the imperial edict, his face instantly became extremely gloomy, as if a storm was about to come. The imperial envoys observed his expression and secretly complained in their hearts. They knew the marshal's temper very well, so they did not dare to delay for a moment. After reading the edict, they left in a hurry and did not dare to stay in Nanyi for long.

The staff members said excitedly: "Marshal! How could Emperor Wen do this? Why would he let a young boy take over Nanyi? Is it just because he inherited the throne of King Wu'an? This Nanyi is the kingdom you fought so hard to win! We all know that you are the most qualified person to be in charge of this place!"

As Xiao Jingyi listened to what everyone was saying, his face became increasingly gloomy. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "This is the emperor's order! It cannot be disobeyed! Nanyi is indeed the fiefdom of their King Wu'an, and although I also have the surname Xiao, I am only an adopted son of the Xiao family after all. In terms of identity and status, I cannot compare with the real children of the Xiao family. This is the reality, and no matter how unwilling we are, we cannot change it." His voice was full of helplessness and bitterness.

An aide said angrily, "Marshal! In my opinion, we should just rebel against Emperor Wen and establish ourselves as kings! Make Nanyi independent from Dazhao!"

Another staff member was shocked when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Marshal, you can't do that! You see, we are short of supplies in Nanyi, and we all rely on the court for supplies. If we really declare ourselves king, not only will Emperor Wen send troops to attack us immediately, but even the Yuewu Kingdom, which is eyeing us covetously, will probably take the opportunity to send troops and annex us in one fell swoop!"

The military advisor who had been sitting on the sidelines and remained silent finally spoke up: "Marshal! Judging from the current situation, the only way to resolve the current dilemma is to kill Xiao Jinghan on the way! In this way, Emperor Wen will no longer have any reason to ask you to hand over the military power of Nanyi!"

Xiao Jingyi looked frustrated and sighed, "Alas! Almost all the assassins we sent out have been killed! I never thought that they would have some underworld forces secretly protecting them!"

The military advisor stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "Marshal, don't worry! I have someone here who can help us complete this task, but we need the Marshal to come forward in person to meet his requirements."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyi was immediately refreshed and asked quickly, "Oh? Who is it? What exactly is his ability?"

The military advisor smiled and answered confidently, "This man is the Poison King Ding Kun! He was unfortunately injured before, and later fled to Youli, where he worshipped a master. Now, his poison skills have reached a higher level! If he takes action, he will definitely be able to successfully get rid of Xiao Jinghan!"

Xiao Jingyi's eyes flashed coldly: "Bring Ding Kun here, I will listen to what he wants!"

The military advisor walked out of the tent with brisk steps, and soon brought back a thin man. The man's head was tightly wrapped in a piece of black cloth, leaving only his two eyes exposed, making people curious about his real face.

After seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Jingyi frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Your Excellency the Poison King, why don't you dare to show your true face?"

When Ding Kun heard this, he slowly stretched out his skinny hands, which looked like dead wood, and took off the black cloth covering his head. As the black cloth slipped off, a horrifying face appeared in front of everyone. His face was covered with hideous scars, blood and flesh, and his facial features were unrecognizable. Only his eyes were intact.

Everyone gasped, secretly wondering what terrible destruction this face had suffered. But Ding Kun seemed to have long been accustomed to the strange looks from others. He stood there expressionlessly, his eyes cold and empty.

Even though these people were veterans of battle and accustomed to life and death, they were still frightened by the rotten face. A strong stench filled the tent, making people nauseous.

Xiao Jingyi took a deep breath, trying to calm down his inner shock, and calmed himself down, then asked, "Poison King! How did your face become like this? Also, why can't your wound heal?"

Ding Kun's voice was hoarse and harsh, as if it had been polished by sandpaper: "It was the Dark Moon Enchantress who poisoned me! Marshal! Her poison is so powerful that I can't resist it. As long as you can lend me Nan Yi's witchcraft books to study, I will definitely find a way to detoxify, and I can also help you get rid of Xiao Jinghan, who is a big worry in your heart!" There was a hint of eagerness and desire in his tone.

Xiao Jingyi asked suspiciously, "Mr. Ding, you are the famous Poison King of our Dazhao! How could you be poisoned by that Dark Moon Fairy and become like this?"

Ding Kun clenched his teeth, a look of pain on his face. He closed his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "That witch is too cunning and insidious! If I meet her again, I will use all the poisons I know on her and let her taste this life worse than death!" As he spoke, Ding Kun's eyes flashed with anger and determination.

Xiao Jingyi ordered the guards behind him with a gloomy face: "Take Mr. Ding to the library immediately! No mistakes!"

Ding Kun quickly wrapped his face with a piece of black cloth, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes. He saluted respectfully to Xiao Jingyi and said firmly: "Marshal, rest assured, I will go to assassinate Xiao Jinghan and will definitely bring you good news!" After that, he turned and left, and his figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

At the same time, Xiao Jinghan's motorcade was driving slowly in a quiet town. A whole day had passed, and there was not a single assassin coming to kill him. Luo Lingyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and chuckled: "Could it be that Xiao Jingyi only has so few assassins? I'm so disappointed! Alas, if that's the case, there really aren't enough for me to kill!" There was a hint of disdain and sarcasm in her voice.

However, Xiao Jinghan, who was sitting next to him, had a blank expression on his face and his eyes were as cold as ice. He said coldly: "Don't take it lightly, Xiao Jingyi will never give up. He must have other conspiracies and tricks, we must always be vigilant!" He knew Xiao Jingyi's methods and intentions very well, and knew that this struggle had just begun.

Luo Lingyue glanced at him with contempt, then turned her gaze to Xiao Xiao who was imprisoned in the prisoner car, and said with a sneer, "Do you need Dark Moon Demon Queen to change your appearance for you as well?"

Xiao Jinghan smiled faintly, and said calmly: "With you by my side, why do I need help from others? I think your martial arts are no less than that of Dark Moon Fairy!"

Luo Lingyue was so angry that she was fuming. She angrily said, "How dare you say that? Whenever someone came to assassinate me, you always hid behind me. You are a man!"

Xiao Jinghan's charming peach blossom eyes flashed with a playful smile, and he responded softly: "I, your husband, am weak and can't use force. I can only rely on the protection of my lady!"

As night fell, Xiao Jinghan's team set up camp in front. However, in the dead of night, a group of mysterious men in black quietly appeared. They rushed towards Xiao Jinghan's tent as fast as ghosts.

The guards of Emperor Wen noticed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to fight fiercely with the men in black. But the men in black retreated while fighting, as if they had other intentions. Suddenly, one of the men in black threw a bag of powder at the guards. The guards were caught off guard and fell to the ground instantly after inhaling the powder...
