Chapter 267 Looking for Bai Ze and vowing to find out the truth
The three of them said goodbye to King Xuan and others. After leaving the palace gate, Yan Gai did not dare to stop for long, and looked around the city for Bai Ze and Lan Ying.
Let us say that there are two masters in Potuo Kingdom, namely the left master, the old Taoist priest in white clothes, and the right master, the old master in yellow clothes.
At this time, the old Taoist in yellow was leading ten disciples and three hundred guards to search for Bai Ze and Lan Ying in the city.
Yan Ji led Qingzhu and Shui Hanlian to search everywhere on the street.
The capital city of Nabotu Kingdom has many people.
It was a strange place again, and it was not easy to find Bai Ze and the others.
"I thought that when I came here, I could have fun for a few days. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing again."
Qingzhu pouted.
Yan Gao sighed.
"I originally thought that Brother Bai and the others would come here to borrow reinforcements, but I never thought that they would suffer such an unreasonable disaster."
Shui Hanlian said doubtfully:
"How could they be related to the queen's death for no reason?"
Qing Zhu said: "Who knows? But once we find Brother Bai and Lan Ying, everything will be clear."
Shui Hanlian frowned.
"But if we search blindly like this, when will we find them?"
Yan Gai said: "I am also worried about this matter. Do you have any good ideas?"
After Qingzhu pondered for a moment, he said happily:
"Brother Bai is from the Shui Ling Tribe. The Shui Ling Tribe is naturally fond of water. Why don't we go looking for places with water?"
Shui Hanlian also said happily:
"What my sister said makes sense! Why don't we ask if there are any small rivers or deep pools in this city?"
Yan Gai nodded and thought it made sense. He raised his eyes and was about to find someone to ask, when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
Looking back quickly, it turned out to be Qi Sanqiang and two guards.
Qi Sanqiang smiled and said:
"It turns out you are here, causing me a lot of trouble."
Yan Ji said: "General Qi, why did you come to us?"
Qi Sanqiang said: "I am worried that the three of you are not familiar with the city, so I specially brought two guards who are familiar with the terrain of the city to help you."
Qingzhu smiled and said:
"We just have something to ask. Are we looking for someone to ask?"
Qi Sanqiang's face was slightly startled and he said:
"I wonder what the girl wants to ask?"
Qingzhu asked: "Is there a small river or deep pool in this city?"
Qi Sanqiang said doubtfully:
"Yes, yes, why do you ask this, girl?"
Qingzhu replied:
"Let's look where we want to go."
Qi Sanqiang's eyes paused, and then he said:
"There is no river in the city, but there is a Baiyan Pond in the north of the city, which is about five miles away."
Qingzhu turned his head and said to Yan Gai with a smile:
"Let's go there to find Brother Bai and the others!"
Yan Gai nodded, and then thanked Qi Sanqiang.
Qi Sanqiang said: "You three are welcome! These two guards know the way there. Let them take you there?"
Yan Gai cupped his hands.
"It's only five miles away, so I won't bother you two."
Seeing that Yan Gai had made up his mind, Qi Sanqiang had no choice but to smile.
"It's easy to walk there. Just follow this road, walk forward for three miles, and then turn left onto a bluestone road. Keep walking along the bluestone road for two miles, and you will naturally see that A deep pool."
Yan Gai cupped his hands and said thank you!
I, Qing Zhu and Shui Hanlian went to Baiyan Pond to look for Bai Ze.
The three of them walked along this road for three miles, and saw that the road was divided into three sections. The one on the right was a yellow mud road, and the middle one was a gravel road.
Sure enough, there is only the road on the left, which is a bluestone road.
The three of them turned and stepped onto the bluestone road. Not far away, they saw a body of water not far ahead.
Qingzhu pointed there and said:
"That must be the Baiyan Pond!"
The three of them quickened their pace and reached the edge of the pool within a moment.
Looking at the pool, I saw that the pool was long and winding leading to the outside of the city. The wide water surface was dozens of feet long.
There is still a layer of light mist on the turquoise water.
Because there are more than a hundred underground holes at the bottom of the pool, people in the city call it the Hundred Eyes Pool.
Yan Gao and his three men stood by the pond. They looked around and saw that there were no houses around the pond.
Qingzhu said doubtfully:
"Are Brother Bai and the others not here?"
Shui Hanlian said:
"This pool is really strange. It's long and winding like a big river. Why do they call it Baiyan Pool?"
Yan Ji didn't care about this. What he was worried about was how to find Bai Ze and Lan Ying.
If they are not here, then where to find them.
"Brother Bai! Lan Ying! Are you here?"
At this time, Qingzhu shouted loudly to the other side of the pool.
"Brother Bai! It's us! It's me, Brother Yange, and Sister Hanlian who are here to find you."
Qingzhu shouted several times to the other side of the pond.
Shui Hanlian said with a smile:
"What are you shouting about, sister? There isn't even a house opposite, so they definitely won't be there."
Qingzhu lowered his head, looking a little disappointed.
"If they weren't here, where could they be?"
Yan Ji frowned and shook his head.
"It seems that Brother Bai and Lan Ying are not here."
Shui Hanlian said:
"Why don't we go find Dr. Ma and the others first to find out what happened that day. It might be faster this way."
Qingzhu also echoed:
"Yes! Maybe they both know where Brother Bai is hiding now."
Yan Gai lowered his head and muttered, feeling a little uncertain in his heart.
"Hey! Brother Yan Ji, look quickly, there seems to be someone on the other side!"
Suddenly Qingzhu pointed to the other side of the pond and said to Yan Gai in shock.
Yan Ji hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, on the opposite bank, there seemed to be two people looking here.
It's a pity that I can't see clearly through the light mist on the water.
Shui Hanlian said doubtfully:
"Could it be Bai Ze and Lan Ying?"
"Brother Bai, is that you?"
Qingzhu let go of his throat again and shouted towards the other side.
Sure enough, not long after Qingzhu finished speaking, he saw a person on the opposite bank, jumped into the pool, then reached out to lift up the person on the bank, and swam towards this side of the pool.
"It's Brother Bai and Lan Ying!"
Yan Ji looked at the two people who were getting closer and blurted out.
When the two of them landed on the shore, Qingzhu said in surprise:
"I thought you weren't here?"
Bai Ze smiled, and then said doubtfully:
"Why are you here?"
Yan Ji smiled and said:
"This is all Qingzhu's idea. She said that you are from the Shui Ling tribe and you must like places with water. So we tried to come here to find you, but we didn't expect that you are actually here."
Bai Ze chuckled and said:
"Sister Qingzhu is still smart!"
At this time, Lan Ying on the side couldn't help but shed tears when she saw Yan Gai and the others. He looked miserable and said:
"Thank you for coming, Brother Bai and I were almost killed by them."
Yan Gao's face was shocked,
"What is going on? Why do they say you poisoned the queen?"
Lan Ying said: "The Queen was not poisoned by us at all, the four of us were also poisoned!"
Qingzhu saw the tears on his face and felt very unbearable. He hurriedly comforted and said:
"Sister, don't be sad, we believe you will never poison the queen."
Yan Gao looked solemn and said:
"What exactly is going on?"
Bai Ze sighed,
"This was originally a good thing! That day, the four of us just stepped into the city gate of Potuo Kingdom and saw a reward notice beside the city gate. The notice said that the queen has a strange disease. Who can cure the queen? If the queen is ill, we will be rewarded with 100,000 gold coins. We don’t care about the 100,000 gold coins, but Doctor Ma said that we are here to bring in reinforcements, so why not take this opportunity to cure the queen’s illness? It won’t be difficult.”
Shui Hanlian said:
"Yes! Doctor Ma is not wrong to think so!"
Bai Ze nodded and continued:
"We all thought the same way at the time. When we got to the palace, Dr. Ma took the queen's pulse and administered the medicine. After the queen drank it, she was cured in the evening. When the king was happy, he held a banquet Entertain us. Unexpectedly, just after drinking half of the wine, the queen suddenly died of poison for some unknown reason. We were about to get up to take a look, but we didn't expect that each of us was poisoned. Suddenly, our eyes went dark and she fainted on the ground. Save people."
