The courtyard was silent and surrounded by soldiers guarding it. Ying Zheng was talking to Zhao Gao when he was suddenly interrupted by the panicked words of an attendant.

"What's the matter?"

Immediately, Ying Zheng turned around and asked with an unhappy expression.

Ying Zheng was still in a good mood just now, but unexpectedly something troublesome seemed to happen, which really made him unhappy.

"Your Majesty, the bird that fed Gold Core crumbs is dead!"

This attendant obviously understood what this meant. You must know that these Gold Cores were all for Ying Zheng.

Now these Gold Cores feed the birds, but eat them to death. Doesn’t that mean that these Gold Cores are really poisonous?

Thinking of this, the attendant who was kneeling on the ground became more and more frightened.

Upon hearing the attendant's words, Ying Zheng's face did not immediately show anger, but his brows furrowed.

"Call Li Si and Meng Tian, ​​let's go check out the situation."

Ying Zheng said in a calm tone.

Although he had already been mentally prepared, when he heard the news, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.

Fortunately, he has found a solution to the erysipelas, and after more than ten days of mental construction, he is not going to get angry at this time.

It's just that I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart. I treat these alchemists as national scholars, but in the end they actually contributed poison pills for me to take.

"Zhao Gao, send someone to imprison all the nine alchemists who have entered Xianyang Palace and wait for my order."

Ying Zheng gave orders to the attendants beside him, and then spoke calmly to Zhao Gao on one side.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Gao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, did not dare to say any nonsense, and left cleanly to send people to carry out the task.

Once it is confirmed that the poisonous elixirs of these alchemists are real, they will not be able to escape the crime of killing the emperor. The result will be that they will be cut into pieces, and the nine tribes will not be able to escape.

Ying Zheng summoned him, and soon Li Si and Meng Tian arrived at the courtyard where the birds were fed.

At this time, there were several servants kneeling on the ground around the birdcage, trembling with fear.

Everyone looked at the bird carefully and found that it was foaming at the mouth and fell stiffly in the cage.

Its originally gorgeous feathers now became dim and messy, its eyes turned white, and it was obvious that it could no longer die.

"What happened to the other beasts that fed Gold Core?"

Ying Zheng waved and asked the servant in charge here to come forward and speak.

"Your Majesty, they are all in a state of malaise. The smallest rat among them is already dying."

The servant quickly responded to Ying Zheng.

Then he hurriedly asked people to take those beasts away, and saw that the mice that were very active and running around were now lying in the cage, with fine white foam overflowing from their mouths.

It seems that it is no longer possible.

Next is a gray rabbit, huddled in a corner, too lazy to move even if poked with a stick.

The remaining puppy was in the same situation. He could stagger a few steps, but he was very lethargic.

If the bird that was simply testing the drug died, that would still explain the sophistry, but several animals also showed the same symptoms, so it was obviously clear that the Gold Core was poisonous.

"Where are they?"

Zhao Gao, who had already ordered the arrests, also came to this courtyard. When he heard Ying Zheng's questions, he immediately knew who they were in Ying Zheng's mouth. He was obviously asking about the people who were ordered to rush here from Xianyang a few days ago. of many alchemists.

"Your Majesty, someone has come to report this morning. Those alchemists will arrive in Peixian County in about five days."

Zhao Gao replied immediately.

"good!"

Ying Zheng nodded and left the courtyard without saying anything else.

In another courtyard in Peixian County, Liu Bang recovered from his injuries for several days, and finally recovered to the point where his movements were not affected.

The main reason is that the gangsters like Fan Bei didn't kill him or break any bones, otherwise it wouldn't be a minor injury that could be healed in seven or eight days.

"Damn it, Fan Bei and these people are crazy dogs, why are they chasing daddy all the time?"

Liu Bang has been very depressed recently. Not only was he beaten severely, but he was also annoyed by Fan Bei, a group of scoundrels who kept checking his movements.

Moreover, Fan Bei also said that he would not give up until he was found. If someone provided information, he would be rewarded.

After one operation, Liu Bang was chased like a bereaved dog, scurrying around like a mouse while nursing his wounds.

Finally, as a last resort, he borrowed Fan Kuai's money, left Peixian County, and found a remote village, where he rested for a while.

He felt almost better now, and his heart was alive again.

"It's not a problem to be chased all the time. To capture the thief, capture the king first. Why don't we go to Hidden Immortal Peak and capture the pretty boy first?"

Liu Bang thought secretly in his heart.

In fact, it would be better to defeat those gangsters in Fan Bei and then ask why. Unfortunately, when it comes to fighting, I am too old to be a match for those gangsters.

That's why I decided to bully the white-faced alchemist from Yinxian Peak.

In Liu Bang's understanding, alchemists who stay at home and practice all day should be considered relatively weak scholars. He, an old gangster, is still confident of dealing with such people.

But the only worry is that I don't know what happened to these ruffians in Fan Bei, and they turned against me.

The village where Liu Bang was hiding was not very far from Yinxian Peak. After thinking about it, Liu Bang decided to find out. After thinking about it, he headed in the direction of Yinxian Peak.
