"Father."
Fusu personally fetched a ladle of water, walked all the way to Ying Zheng, and handed it to him.
"Your Majesty, the journey back to Xianyang will not be peaceful.”
"I need to check…"
"Is the water in the river poisonous?"
Zhang Han remained vigilant.
Along the way,
He had been assassinated six times.
He could not afford to be careless!
If not for these six assassinations, he might not have been so vigilant.
But now…
Zhang Han confirmed.
As Ying Zheng was getting closer and closer to Xianyang, there would definitely be people who would not give up!
Poison…
It was very likely that it was an assassination!
Therefore…
Zhang Han had to make sure.
The river water that Fu Su fished out from the river was not poisonous.
"Yes."
Ying Zheng did not reject Zhang Han's vigilance.
Then,
Zhang Han took out a silver needle.
He inserted a silver needle into the water.
Using silver needles to test if the river water was poisonous.
A moment later,
Zhang Han took out a silver needle.
I hold it up,
It was placed under the sun.
Under the golden sunlight, Zhang Han carefully observed the changes on the silver needle.
As usual,
There was no change in the silver needle.
Seeing this,
Zhang Han heaved a sigh of relief.
The silver needle did not change, which meant that the water was not poisonous.
It was drinkable.
"Please forgive me, Young Master."
"I am not suspecting that you have ulterior motives. It is purely because I have encountered too many assassinations along the way. I have to be careful to prevent His Majesty from being harmed.”
Zhang Han retracted his silver needles and looked at Fu Su apologetically.
"General Zhang Han, you don't have to do this."
Fu Su waved his hand and did not take it to heart.
Ying Zheng's personal safety...
That was the most important thing!
No amount of caution was excessive.
Of course, he could understand Zhang Han's feelings.
After all.
Last time, Zhang Han was punished by Ying Zheng because he failed to protect the emperor.
At this moment.
Zhang Han had to be more cautious than before.
After drinking the clear river water that Fu Su brought over, Ying Zheng wiped the water off the corner of his mouth with a flick of his sleeve and laughed out loud,""In this situation, I would like to compose a poem.”
At the side,
"Your Majesty, since you have such leisure and elegance, I'm naturally happy to accompany you." Li Si echoed.”
Zhao Gao remained silent.
Zhang Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at the rapid river thoughtfully.
Although he had some guesses,
However, he did not say much.
Speculations were just speculations. Without concrete evidence, these speculations could not be verified, so they naturally could not be made public.
However…
Very soon,
Zhang Ye's guess was confirmed.
A scream of terror rang out.
"Ah!"
Sharp.
It was ear-piercing.
Then,
An elite Shadow Secret Guard who had just walked over from the river suddenly turned purple, his eyes bloodshot, and his entire body fell to the side.
He looked carefully.
His body was still twitching violently on the ground.
It was as if he was cramping up.
At the same time,
He was even foaming at the mouth, which was particularly strange.
"Not good!"
"There's poison in the river…"
Zhang Han's pupils constricted slightly, and he turned pale with fright.
This sudden change caused everyone present to be extremely terrified.
Thousands of Shadow Secret Guards quickly became alert.
Only a few of them were paralyzed and twitching on the ground.
In addition,
Even Li Si's face turned purple and his eyes were bloodshot. He struggled to breathe as he held back his fatigue and slowly fell to the ground.
"Poison!"
Li Si was terrified.
Even he was poisoned!
When exactly was it?
Was there poison in the river?
No!
Still not right!
He didn't drink the water from this river at all.
But why?
He was still poisoned?
"No!"
"It's air!"
"The poison takes effect in the river and uses the air as a medium.”
"And then…"
"When we inhale the poisonous gas, the poisonous gas will enter our lungs and gradually dominate our entire body.”
Zhang Han was furious.
He did not expect…
There was actually someone so insane!
He poisoned the entire river!
Furthermore,
This poison was simply unheard of.
Using the air as a medium of transmission…
This was no ordinary poison!
Furthermore,
This river was so rapid and spacious that even ordinary poisons could not do it. It was impossible for the entire river to be filled with poison.
Unless…
This was a specially made poison!
The person who developed this highly toxic substance was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Han's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He subconsciously clenched his fists, his expression filled with shock and anger.
A hundred secrets are once missed!
Before this,
He had never thought about it.
There was such an assassination method!
Without any mental preparation, even Zhang Han almost fell for it.
"Everyone…"
"Quickly hold your breath!"
Zhang Han ordered his subordinates.
Then,
He looked at First Emperor Ying Zheng at once.
Then he saw,
Ying Zheng's face also began to turn red, his eyes bloodshot.
It was obvious…
Ying Zheng was poisoned too!
Moreover, the poison was not light.
Seeing this, Zhang Han had a bad feeling.
" Poison?!"
Ying Zheng was shocked and furious.
He stared at Fu Su, then turned to look at Zhang Han. He could feel his body gradually weakening. He was the first to lie down on the ground, his hands supporting himself on the ground, forcefully keeping his body from collapsing completely.
This group of assassins…
He simply didn't give up!
Unexpectedly,
He was about to return to Xianyang, but he was still assassinated!
Ying Zheng was caught off guard.
"Could it be…"
"I don't have long to live?"
Feeling his body gradually weakening, Ying Zheng's throat was dry, and his voice was getting weaker.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao was horrified.
Following Zhang Han's reminder, Zhao Gao had already held his breath to avoid inhaling the poisonous gas in the air.
In addition,
Fu Su had already stopped breathing.
Seeing Ying Zheng fall, everyone's face changed.
Once Ying Zheng was poisoned to death...
The consequences would be unimaginable!
This was something that no one wanted to see.
"Retreat quickly!"
"Leave this place!"
Zhang Han shouted angrily.
Then,
He hurriedly came to Ying Zheng's side, lifted him up at once, and then quickly evacuated from this extremely dangerous area by the river bank.
The air here had been completely polluted by poison.
The longer you stay here,
They were even more severely affected by the poisonous gas.
A moment later,
Everyone evacuated from the riverbank.
After the preliminary statistics.
The number of poisoned people was close to 30.
Among them,
Including Ying Zheng.
And Li Si, the prime minister.
Other than that, the remaining twenty or so people were all elites of the Shadow Secret Guards.
If one were to look at the numbers on the surface, it would be acceptable if there were only 30 poisoned people.
Then…
Looking at the list of poisoned people…
That was unacceptable.
First Emperor Ying Zheng was poisoned!
Prime Minister Li Si was also poisoned!
Who could accept such an outcome?
"Imperial physician!"
"Quickly summon the imperial physician!"
Zhang Han hurriedly shouted.
The first thing he thought of was not Zhang Ye, but the five experienced imperial physicians.
He could only say.
In Zhang Han's heart,
Zhang Ye was just a divine doctor who could cure illnesses.
He was not a qualified antidote master.
Therefore…
Zhang Han thought.
If they wanted to cure Ying Zheng's poison immediately, they would have to rely on those five imperial physicians.
"Father!"
Fu Su gripped Ying Zheng's right hand tightly, his eyes full of anger and worry.
"Men!"
"Bring back the poisoner!"
"We must force the antidote out!"
"We can't let him die."
Zhang Han angrily ordered the Shadow Secret Guards.
"Yes, General."
In an instant,
Hundreds of Shadow Secret Guards moved out.
He headed upstream of the river…
Prepare to carry out the arrest operation!
In short.
He could not let the poisoner die.
Otherwise,
To find the antidote,
The difficulty was no different from ascending to the heavens!
"Young Master…"
"Don't be anxious."
"I'll use my internal strength first to try and force out the poison in Your Majesty's body.”
"Perhaps, using internal strength can force out the poison in His Majesty's body.”
Zhang Han said.
"Alright."
Fu Su nodded.
Next,
Zhang Han quickly circulated his grandmaster-level inner force, placing his palms on Ying Zheng's back.
Then,
The endless internal strength was like a tide.
From Zhang Han's palm,
It surged into Ying Zheng's body.
Boom!
His vigorous internal strength was like a surging ocean current.
Wave after wave.
It was released from Zhang Han's body.
Weng!
Weng!
Wisps of white inner force light wrapped around the bodies of Zhang Han and Ying Zheng.
Like mist,
It spiraled up.
"A colorless and odorless poison?"
"Not simple."
Looking at the poisoned First Emperor Ying Zheng, Zhang Ye seemed to be an outsider, calmly watching the changes in the situation.
For some reason,
Zhang Ye felt a sense of familiarity.
This poison…
It was as if they had met before.
It was as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Illusion?
No!
This was most likely not an illusion!
This poison…
It was very likely that he had seen it before.
Therefore,
Zhang Ye could not help but fall into deep thought.
He thought carefully.
Thinking back,
When had he ever seen such a deadly poison?
Suddenly!
Zhang Ye's mind flashed, and a strange look gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Could it be…"
At this moment,
He already had some speculations in his heart.
However, they had yet to find any evidence.
Thus, he could not firmly grasp the final truth.
