Chapter 2858 Three Giants

"You're not poisoned?"

At this moment, Gong Da bandaged the wound, took a few steps back with his katana in hand, and said with shock on his face: "How could you not be poisoned?"

Shangguan sneered: "You old antiques have stayed in the palace for twenty years. Not only are your ideas conservative, but your political methods have also deteriorated."

"Although you are all tampering with sandalwood, why do you make the fragrance so heavy? Let me smell it a few times and I will find out the clues."

"I didn't realize that sandalwood was poisonous. After all, incense is burned in the wing almost every day, but you forced me to find out."

Shangguan Xiaozhi said calmly: "Are you putting the cart before the horse in order to get results quickly?"

Gong Da shouted: "You smelled it, how can you still be fine?"

"I did smell it and was poisoned, but I took the collar antidote in time."

Shangguan Xiaozhi said calmly: "That is the pill developed by Ye Tianlong for each member of the team. Although it cannot cure all poisons, it can slow down the onset of poisons."

"So your poison has no effect on me."

"I pretended that the drug was taking effect, just to make myself give up, and to kill you more efficiently."

At this point, she mentioned the dagger: "Master Gong, you can go and die. If you die, you can warn others not to disturb my life."

"Bitch, you are so vicious..."

Gong was furious and subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but it was too late. As soon as his hand touched the wooden door, the dagger pierced through.

He is not as strong as Shangguan Xiaozhi, but a bloody gash has been cut in his chest, which affects his speed and strength.

Gong Da couldn't avoid it. He stared at the sharp spikes protruding from his chest. He was very angry and unwilling, and fell down softly.

Blood flowed from his back.

"It's your own fault!"

Shangguan Xiaozhi snorted and quickly searched the three of them for their important belongings. Then, she reached for the door and prepared to go back to eat.

Before his fingers touched it, the wooden door opened without any wind, revealing a familiar wheelchair and Ye Tianlong's indifferent smile:

"Takazhi, it's time to eat..."

Shangguan Xiaoyi was stunned, and then his voice softened: "Okay..."

"Have you had a lot of drinks today? Come on, drink a bowl of mung bean syrup and drink it down."

In the attic of Shuiyunjian, Ye Tianlong asked Shangguan Xiaozhi to sit down, and personally served her a bowl of sugar water: "It was just boiled, very delicious."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye."

Shangguan Xiaozhi took a sip of sugar water, then looked at Ye Tianlong and said timidly: "Didn't you go back to Tiandu Mountain?"

"I did want to go back to Tiandu Mountain, but my sixth sense makes me very uncomfortable. I always feel that you are hiding something in your heart."

Ye Tianlong told Shangguan Xiaozhi frankly: "So I followed you back to Mingjiang secretly, and prepared to make sure you were okay before leaving."

"Tianlong, thank you for your concern."

The corners of Shangguan Xiaozhi's lips twitched, and there was a touch of emotion in his eyes. Then he lowered his head and replied, "It's my fault. I shouldn't hide it from you."

"This is not called concealment, this is called privacy."

Ye Tianlong was considerate: "Everyone has his own privacy, and no matter how good we are, we still have our own space, so I don't blame you at all."

Shangguan Xiaozhi expressed his gratitude again, and then looked at Ye Tianlong with the sugar water in his hands: "Actually, I am an Oriental, and I have royal blood in my body."

"Is this the reason why you escaped from Longmen?"

There was not much shock on Ye Tianlong's face, as if he had already accepted all this. He just looked at Shangguan Xiaozhi calmly:

"Are you worried that after becoming the master of a sect, Dongyang will use your blood to use your blood to deal with me, Longmen, and China?"

"So you choose to leave Longmen empty-handed. In this way, you have no profit and they won't threaten you with anything?"

Ye Tianlong analyzed Shangguan Xiaozhi's psychology, but he was smart enough not to ask why Shangguan Xiaozhi had royal blood flowing in his body.

"Yes, that's one of the reasons."

Shangguan Xiaozhi was slightly surprised by Ye Tianlong's calmness, and then she was grateful that he didn't ask about her miserable life experience. She nodded sincerely:

"Although I have great confidence in dealing with the royal family, people are not gods after all, and no one can guarantee that there will be no weaknesses or flaws."

She exhaled a long breath: "Rather than being caught by the royal family in the future, it is better to retire from Longmen in advance."

Ye Tianlong nodded slightly: "I understand your good intentions."

"And my position in Longmen will be detrimental to you, Longmen and China."

Shangguan Xiaozhi revealed a wry smile: "The person in charge of China's No. 1 Sect is actually an Oriental. How much public opinion will this arouse?"

"The Rong family can use the cover of a traitor for Longmen at any time and mobilize the military and police to bombard Longmen like they did at Tianmen."

"I can't let you fall into the abyss, so I decided to draw a clear line with Longmen, but I didn't expect that Gong Da and the others would come to visit me again."

She sighed quietly: "Their intention is not only to control Longmen through me, but also to influence the royal family through me."

"I can tell."

Ye Tianlong smiled and took a sip of sugar water: "They regard you as a puppet in their hearts, otherwise they wouldn't use poison to deal with you."

"These old royal men are really ambitious."

He sighed softly: "It seems that I still killed too few in Japan."

"In Japan, there are only three forces that can really influence the national system."

Shangguan Xiaozhi gently stirred the sugar water: "The royal family, the officialdom and the shrine. The shrine is the cornerstone, the officialdom is the trunk, and the royal family is the spirit."

"Only the king and the heir can represent the royal family and participate in state affairs legally and in compliance with regulations. The rest of the royal family members are just supporting characters."

"The royal elders' council is even more limited to making suggestions and has little real power and voice. The king's words are enough to suppress all their opinions."

"Especially when the elders' council spent ten years on militaristic radical plans, Gong Da and others have always wanted to speak out over the king."

"It's a pity that both the official and the civilian sectors only recognize the opinions of the royal leader, the king."

"So even if the king and the heir are killed by you, Gong Da and others will still be limited in what they can do, and they hope to support me, a puppet, to achieve their goals."

Shangguan Xiaozhi said what he knew: " I saw through their thoughts, so I naturally won't go back to be a puppet."

"If you go back not to be a puppet, but to be a king with real power, one of the three giants in the East..."

Ye Tianlong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you willing to go back?"

Shangguan Xiaozhi was stunned: "Real power?"

Ye Tianlong nodded: "Yes, you have the final say in the entire royal family, and you can be on an equal footing with the shrine and the official. Are you willing to go back?"

Shangguan Xiaozhi didn't say anything, but just looked at Ye Tianlong in silence for a long time, she smiled lightly: "Yes, I almost forgot this way..."

"Don't tell me the answer yet."

Ye Tianlong took a tissue and wiped the corner of Shangguan Xiaozhi's mouth: "Tell me in three days..."
