"Poisoned?" Murong Ce seemed to have thought of something, "This, how is this possible..."

Nan Xi: "Brother, it was Murong Qing who poisoned you, right?"

Murong Ce did not speak, but this silence was enough to prove Nan Xi's guess.

"She..." Murong Ce subconsciously wanted to think of some excuses for Murong Qing.

After all, she is the sister she has pampered for so many years.

Maybe there is some reason?

Nan Xi knew what he was thinking and said, "Brother, I found out the person who bought arsenic to poison my parents."

Murong Ce's eyes suddenly widened, "Who is it?"

This matter has always been on his mind.

Although my parents have been buried in peace, their murderer has not yet been brought to justice, so I still feel that I have wronged them.

Nan Xi's expression was solemn: "Murong Qing."

Murong Ce sat up suddenly and touched the wounds on his body. He frowned in pain and didn't care.

He asked in disbelief: "Nan Nan, who are you talking about?"

"Murong Qing." Nan Xi repeated the name word by word.

Murong Ce knew that Nan Xi would not joke about this matter.

If there is no evidence, there will be no nonsense.

"Mu! Rong! Qing!"

He hates it.

If he had known it was Murong Qing, he would have personally avenged his parents when she was here a few days ago!

Murong Ce clenched his fist and pounded the bed: "Why did she do this? How could my parents be sorry for her!"

Nan Xi brought a cup of warm tea for Murong Ce to drink, "My parents were planning to move to Fenglin before the accident happened. I think Murong Qing must have been reluctant to be known as the daughter of the Hou family. Thinking that my parents are dead, you must She will inherit the title of Marquis, and she will still have the backing of the Marquis Mansion. Of course, this is just a preliminary guess by Li Qingmo and I. We will only know the details after we capture Murong Qing."

She helped Murong Ce lean back against the bed, "A few days ago, the workers in the academy in Fenglin were collectively poisoned, and killers besieged us. The mastermind behind the scenes was Murong Qing."

Murong Ce frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Murong Qing has been raised in a boudoir for many years. Even if she later goes into business on her own, it is impossible for her to suddenly become so powerful. And what is her purpose of doing this? She will not do anything that is harmful to others and not beneficial to herself."

He still knew something about Murong Qing.

Nan Xi sat on the chair next to the bed, "Li Qingmo and I analyzed that there should be someone behind Murong Qing, maybe for some purpose, or out of necessity, Murong Qing had to obey others, or because of interests She did it voluntarily, but no matter what the reason was, it is a fact that she murdered many people, killed her parents, and poisoned you."

Murong Ce couldn't help but sigh, "What kind of benefits can make her cruel to her parents and murder me?"

This was what he couldn't understand the most.

What Nan Xi was curious about was: "Brother, I heard from those government officials that you had a quarrel with Murong Qing before you were poisoned. What were you arguing about?"

Murong Ce sighed and said: "You should know that half of Bian City is covered with quicksand, and I accidentally discovered a way to safely cross those quicksands. When Murong Qing found out, she asked me to use this to claim credit from the emperor. When the matter of the title was brought up again, I refused, so we had a few quarrels."

Nan Xi suddenly sat upright: "Crossing the quicksand? Doesn't that mean that Dongyue's army can cross the quicksand and march towards Western Chu?"

An idea suddenly came to her mind, and her expression was more serious than before, and she asked: "Brother, have you told Murong Qing how to cross quicksand?"

With Murong Ce's pampering and indulgence towards Murong Qing in the past, this kind of thing is not impossible.

Sure enough, Murong Ce nodded.

In the past six months, Nan Xi has been trained by Li Qingmo in various ways, and his political acumen has become very high.

She got up and walked out of the room to find Li Qingmo. "Inform Zishun to be on guard against Xi Chu. They may have mastered the method of crossing the quicksand."

After a pause, she recounted roughly the conversation she had just had with Murong Ce in the room.

Li Qingmo frowned: "Do you suspect that Murong Qing has defected to Xi Chu?"

"I hope she still has some bottom line as a human being." Nan Xi said.

But obviously this possibility is not high.

Two days later, Murong Ce was able to get out of bed, and most of the pustules on his body had dried up.

Li Qingmo also received solid news.

"Murong Qing will marry Qian Yu in three days, and she has met the eldest princess of Western Chu before that."

After a pause, Li Qingmo glanced at Murong Ce: "The 100,000 troops of Western Chu have reached the border, and there is a possibility of marching to Dongyue at any time."

Murong Ce clenched his fists with hatred.

"What's the difference between her and betraying the country!"

Marrying a member of the enemy's royal family without a marriage alliance is considered collaboration with the enemy and is a major crime against the Nine Clan.

Murong Ce took a deep breath, "The reputation of the Murong family for generations has been destroyed at the hands of Murong Qing!"

He stood up and knelt down towards Li Qingmo.

"It's a minor fault. If I hadn't told Murong Qing how to cross the quicksand, Dongyue wouldn't be in the possibility of war at any time, and the people on the border wouldn't have to suffer from the flames of war."

Li Qingmo looked out for Nan Xi's sake and because Murong Ce was still ill, so she stretched out her hand to help him up.

"Not only do you have no fault, but you have merit." Li Qingmo said with a chuckle.

Nan Xi and Murong Ce both looked puzzled.

But Li Qingmo still wanted to sell it off.

"You didn't even tell me?" Nan Xi pulled his sleeve and shook it.

The pouting look is so cute.

Who can bear this?

Just as Li Qingmo was about to say something, Xia Rui walked in from outside.

There was an excited smile on his face.

"Sir, as expected, all the thirty thousand forward troops of Western Chu were destroyed in the quicksand, and not a single one of them survived."

Murong Ce was stunned.

"Didn't Murong Qing tell Xi Chu the method of crossing the quicksand?"

But if that's the case, why would she suddenly want to marry Qian Yu?

Li Qingmo: "I asked someone to try your method of crossing quicksand. Only one person can pass through it at a time. If it is used for trade, it is acceptable. If it is marching and fighting, it is the best trap. There is no return. "

Nan Xi understood and looked at Murong Ce: "Brother, when you discovered that method, did you test it by yourself?"

Murong Ce nodded, "I naturally can't let others take risks in such a dangerous matter, so I went there in person and found out that it was feasible. I thought I could really cross the quicksand, but I forgot about the weight problem when there are more people."

Nan Xi smiled: "So you really accomplished something this time. You destroyed the 30,000 advance troops of Xi Chu without any effort. The Emperor of Xi Chu and the eldest princess of Xi Chu must be very angry. But in this case, Murong Qing Is your marriage to Qian Yu about to fall through?"

Xia Rui shook his head: "For some reason, their marriage is still going on, and Murong Qing got the money from nowhere to open several stores in Xichu, and the business is booming."

Murong Ce was even more puzzled: "She had invested all her money in a few stores in the capital before, so she shouldn't have much money left in her hands. Furthermore, she had caused Xi Chu to lose many troops, and it was even less likely that she would be funded by them. Then Where did you get the money?”
