Chapter 440 Poisoning
They walked to the front of the villa and soon found a group of guards lying on the ground. They immediately squatted down to check. Taking advantage of this chaotic opportunity, Yun Ci quietly left and returned to his room in Zither Garden, pretending that nothing had happened.

The sky was just beginning to turn pale. In the hall were several corpses that had just been dissected. Their faces were still distorted and their eyes were wide open with fear, as if they had suffered extreme pain before death.

Qi Yuanxi, wearing a neat military uniform, stood in front of the corpse, observing it carefully with sharp eyes, while his subordinates next to him were reporting the situation.

"what's the situation?"

A cold voice sounded from behind.

Turning around, I saw three middle-aged men with extraordinary temperament walking towards me side by side. They were the three kings of Li, Jiang and Ming. They were still wearing silk pajamas and it was obvious that they had just been woken up.

Qi Yuanxi stepped forward and saluted.

The three men walked up to the corpse and their expressions changed at the same time, all of them shocked by the horrible death.

"Tell me what happened." Mu Huaiyu, the king of Li country, asked coldly.

Qi Yuanxi answered respectfully: "These are the guards who are in charge of the laboratory. They were found collapsed outside the gate during their shift change. They were dead no more than an hour ago. They have been dissected and found..."

At this point, he paused.

The three kings turned to look at him at the same time, wondering what they had discovered. Even he was stuttering when speaking.

Qi Yuanxi continued, "We found that all of their internal organs were corroded. This was the cause of their death. It was as if they had been poisoned by some deadly poison."

"Toxic?" Jiang Guo Wang Duan Honglin frowned. "What did they drink and eat? Have you found out what the poison was?"

Qi Yuanxi shook his head: "Sorry, nothing useful was extracted from their bodies."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. After a moment of silence, Mu Huaiyu glanced at the corpse again and ordered, "Strengthen the defense immediately."

"Yes." Qi Yuanxi replied, and then ordered someone to drag the body out.

The three of them slowly sat down on the sofa, their faces looking a little solemn.

"It seems that we need to move faster." King Yan Zhuo of Ming Kingdom spoke slowly.

"What's the use of being quick?" Mu Huaiyu leaned on the sofa and raised the corners of his lips coldly: "The laboratory hasn't researched anything yet."

Duan Honglin showed a fierce look: "Then we will capture another batch of Zhao people to study. If this batch doesn't work, we will replace it with the next batch. Anyway, those Zhao people are already fish on the chopping board, let us slaughter them at will!"

"That's enough." Mu Huaiyu stretched out his hand, signaling him not to continue: "Don't do it too often, or this experiment will be discovered by the outside world."

Duan Honglin gave him a cold look: "I really don't know what you are afraid of. You have already done it, but you are still so timid."

Mu Huaiyu slowly stood up from the sofa and gave Duan Honglin a sneer: "I don't want the Li Kingdom to be blamed and be despised and criticized by future generations."

After saying that, he walked upstairs alone.

Duan Honglin stared at Mu Huaiyu's figure and couldn't help but sneered: "How hypocritical!"

Yan Zhuo patted Duan Honglin on the shoulder and said, "Okay, what he said makes sense. You also understand the nature of this experiment. If the Federation knows about it, it will only cause unnecessary trouble."

The Federation is independent of the thirteen countries in the four continents and exists to check and balance the peaceful development of the thirteen countries. They oppose war and bloodshed, and even have the right to participate in the politics of any country and to dismiss the king. If the Federation finds out, the thrones of the three of them will be unstable, and this crime will be recorded in history and despised by all the people in the four continents. Their countries will not enjoy equal rights and will not be able to participate in any public international activities, which is equivalent to carrying the shackles of crime.
