Chapter 137 Sword Seizing Conference (Part [-])
Song Qinghuan frowned, his eyes froze, a little surprised, "Okay, how did you die?"

"He was poisoned to death. He was found dead in his room this morning." Xuanying said.

Song Qinghuan's eyes darkened, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

All right, at this juncture, how could Biandan die suddenly?She picked up the teacup and took a sip absent-mindedly.

Since Xuanying made this a piece of news for her to hear, it meant that it was not Shen Chuhan's handwriting. Then, who would poison Biandan to death at this time?

When Bian Dan died, the most affected person she could think of was Su Rao.

Is it...

Conjectures emerged in my mind, and I looked up at Xuanying, "Xuanying, go and check someone for me."

Xuanying nodded after receiving the order, and didn't mention it since she went down.

Bian Dian's death was strange, because he was quite famous in Lindu, so it caused quite a storm, even Emperor Zhao was alarmed, and sent a servant of the Ministry of Punishment to be in charge of pouring tea for the case.

The common people have different opinions, and they all say that Bian Dan has offended too many people every day, and it is the enemies who are asking for their lives.

Even so, this matter was quickly overshadowed by tomorrow's Sword Seizing Conference, and all the nobles in the hall have no time to be distracted by the death of a private doctor, with the only exception——

Qinshui Emperor Ji Su Rao.

Su Rao sat in front of the table, her face was gloomy and ugly, her eyes were full of anger, and the cup in her hand was about to be crushed by her.

"You said... that Bian Dan is dead?" She raised her eyes coldly, looking at Hong Xiu who dared not show her air in front of her.

Hong Xiu nodded, the hand hanging by his side tightened, not daring to say anything more.

"How did you die?"

"He was... poisoned to death by someone..." Su Rao didn't want to be laughed at after her appearance was ruined, and she was too lazy to go out these days.When she didn't go out, Hongxiu naturally had to wait on her personally, so she was not so well informed about the news outside.

Therefore, even though the news of Bian Dan's death had spread widely, Su Rao had just learned about it.

"Who?" Su Rao's face turned pale.

"I don't know for now, Emperor Zhao sent someone to investigate." Hongxiu replied cautiously.

"It's unreasonable!" Su Rao, who was calm at first, suddenly threw the cup in her hand on the ground, and the porcelain shards splashed out, and one piece splashed onto Hongxiu's arm, creating a long gash, and bright red blood seeped out instantly. out.

Even so, Hong Xiu still didn't dare to vent his anger, and didn't even move his fingers.

Su Rao looked at the bright red gash on the back of her hand, a fiendish red color gradually appeared in her eyes, and her eyes were full of ferocity.

She pulled the veil off her face abruptly and threw it on the ground. The originally exquisite facial features were twisted together due to anger. Coupled with the two long scars, it looked even more terrifying.

why!Why is it at this juncture!
Although Biantan was greedy, he was really skilled in medicine. The ointment he prepared was applied on his face, and after applying it every day for the past few days, it really showed signs of fading.It's just that he's very suspicious, he doesn't want to give Su Rao the prescription for making the ointment, and the amount of ointment he gives each time is very small, so Su Rao has to go to Biandan's clinic every three or four days.

Originally, after the Sword Seizing Conference was over, she would go to the clinic to look for Bian Dan again, but she never thought that... Bian Dan died just like that!

Who is it!Who is behind this poisonous hand!

She was full of anger and unwillingness, she wished she could dig this man out, and then kill him with her own hands to vent her hatred.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..." Seeing that Su Rao was only staring at the Sipa falling on the ground with a strange and angry expression, Hong Xiu shook her body, hesitated for a long time, and opened her mouth tremblingly.

Su Rao shot at Hong Xiu with eyes like a sharp sword, "Your Highness, do you want... want this servant to send someone to check?"

"No need!" Su Rao thought for a moment, finally regained some sanity, and said coldly.

"But..." Hongxiu wanted to say more, but after meeting Su Rao's terrifying eyes, she finally stopped talking.

Su Rao's expression darkened.

Of course she wanted to know who was against her like this.But Bian Tan is too annoying and has made a lot of enemies, and the people who attack him may not necessarily be targeting him.When they came to the capital this time, they didn't bring many people with them, so good steel should be spent wisely.

After thinking for a moment, he took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Send someone to Bian Dan's clinic tonight to see if they can find the antidote he left behind."

The most urgent thing is to heal the wound on his face first.

"Yes." Hongxiu Nuonuo agreed.

"Are you ready for tomorrow's Sword Seizing Conference?" Su Rao clenched her palms and asked in a deep voice.

"When you return to Your Highness, everything is ready."

"Clean up this, you go down first." Su Rao's tone was cold, and she glanced at Hongxiu.

Hongxiu was afraid that Su Rao's anger would be vented on him accidentally, and wished to leave this place quickly, hurriedly cleaned up the debris on the ground, and then bowed and retreated.

Su Rao got up and walked to the dressing table, looking at herself in the bronze mirror with a ferocious face, her sallow fingers tremblingly caressed the scar on her cheek, and there was hostility in her eyes.

Tomorrow is the Sword Seizing Conference, Song Qinghuan, I will definitely let you taste the pain!
*
The next day.

The day of the much-anticipated Sword Seizing Conference has finally arrived. Not only the participating princes and concubines, but also the people of Lindu are all very excited.

The location of the Sword Seizing Conference was very strange.

I thought it was a competition, and it was about a competition of martial arts or other talents, but I didn't expect that the format of this sword-grabbing conference was more like a selection contest, a competition system of breaking through the barriers.

The place to break through is in the imperial tomb.

There is a huge imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of Lindu, where the kings and concubines of all dynasties are buried. Of course, there are a few like Concubine Xiao, but they are exceptions in the end.

But when it was Emperor Zhao's turn, he came up with some new tricks.

Emperor Zhao was ambitious and very proud of himself. He felt that Zhao Kingdom had reached a new peak under his rule, so he believed that his contribution was much greater than those of the previous kings.

Once a person has this kind of self-important thought, his self-confidence and narcissism will become more and more inflated, and he will pursue the ultimate perfection in everything.

For example, he worked hard to build his mausoleum a hundred years later.

Not only did he set up another place outside the imperial mausoleum to build his own mausoleum, but he also asked Lu Ban, who was still alive at the time, to design a complex mechanism system to prevent tomb robbers in later generations.

Construction of the mausoleum began more than ten years ago, and it was finally completed a few days ago.

According to the rules, the mausoleum should have been sealed up and waited for the day when it will be opened again, but Emperor Zhao ordered the craftsmen to withdraw, leaving the tomb door wide open.

And the Cangxie sword that was born in the Zhao Kingdom was placed in the deepest part of the mausoleum.

There are many traps in the mausoleum, and if you are not careful, you will die. Therefore, this time the sword grabbing competition is much more dangerous than the selection competition.In addition to being wary of other people's sniping arrows from time to time, compared with the complex geographical and natural environment in Zhihui forest, there are more ingeniously designed organs in the mausoleum, which are originally designed to prevent people from entering the tomb.

It is really difficult to get the Cangxie Sword unscathed under the mechanism designed by Lu Ban, and then walk out of the mausoleum unscathed.

So this place is one place, and the other three countries are all in an uproar.

The place to seize the sword is set in the mausoleum built by Emperor Zhao for himself, which is good for Zhao State no matter how you look at it.After all, as long as the blueprints of the mausoleum were obtained in advance, those life-threatening traps could be cleverly bypassed, and the Cangxie Sword could be easily taken out.

Emperor Zhao's move was not difficult to understand. Jun Wan withdrew from the competition, Jun Han was killed, and now only Jun Xi and Jun Che were left to qualify for the Sword Seizing Conference.The contestants from other countries are all aggressive. Under such circumstances, to ensure that the Cangxie Sword is not taken away by other countries, this extraordinary method can only be used.

Although the other three countries were dissatisfied, they were helpless.After all, if the Cangxie Sword appeared in their own country, they would do the same. Who made this the home of Zhao Country?

On this day, just after dawn, everyone was ready to go to the imperial mausoleum.

This time, each person can only bring two helpers with him.

On Yin Qingrong's side, Shen Chuhan and Mu Bai were naturally brought along.Song Qinghuan took Liuyue and Xuanying with her, and put Shen Xing beside Song Xuan to protect him.

Shen Xing played a big role in the last night battle against the Lone Wolf. Song Xuan knew that her martial arts were not weak, and she was also alert. In addition, Song Qinghuan did have enough manpower, so she never shied away. Thank you Song Qinghuan for agreeing .

When everyone was present, everyone got on their horses and drove towards the imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of the city.

The mausoleum built by Emperor Zhao was next to Emperor Zhao's Mausoleum, and it was quite close to Lindu City. Everyone whipped and rode their horses, and within a quarter of an hour, the mausoleum of Emperor Zhao was easily accessible.

Everyone got off their horses and looked up at the building in front of them. Their eyes were all wide open, and their faces showed admiration and astonishment.

　It's been a long time since I came to the quiz. Guess who killed Bian Tan?
