Chapter 723 Reason

Not seeing each other for half a year, Tang Qingyuan's current appearance startled Shen Hao. Is this the same Master Tang who used to frighten Licheng?

There was almost no blood on his face, and his eye sockets were sunken, his cheeks were sunken too much, his head was gray, and his forehead was even more wrinkled. Just looking at his face, he could tell that Tang Qingyuan had lost a lot of weight, and he looked older than half a year ago At least twenty years old.

The most intuitive thing about a monk's strength is reflected in the flesh. Even though most of the monks in Jingjiu Dynasty didn't specialize in physical training, their bodies were still far stronger than ordinary people. After the state of concentration, the aging is extremely slow, and most of the diseases in the world can be ignored.

What happened to Tang Qingyuan?

Shen Hao opened the door and came in. The eldest son of Tang brought him a chair and sat down. After that, everyone else in the room retreated consciously. Tang Qingyuan even ordered his family members to deploy a concealment circle to cover up the bedroom.

"I haven't seen you in half a year, how did you change your appearance?" Although Shen Hao was joking in his words, there was no smile on his face, because he could sense that Tang Qingyuan's breath was messed up, and even his cultivation seemed to be lower than before. There are a lot, and now I am afraid that only the fifth or sixth level of the God Gathering Realm has been cultivated, right? ! Tang Qingyuan was originally a master at the eighth level of God Gathering Realm!

Regression in cultivation? !

This is not as simple as "getting sick". The cultivation base of monks is their core foundation, unless they are seriously injured by damage to the foundation, or they fail to break through, it is extremely difficult to regress.

"Hehe, that's where it is. You wait for half a year to see that maybe there will be more, and maybe the hair will be bald. After all, I am already very old and my life will be stable if my cultivation level goes down. If you can't stop, it will probably be buried in the ground in a year or two."

Tang Qingyuan's voice was very weak, and he obviously wanted to laugh, but it seemed that it was very difficult to even move his lips. He had to take a breath halfway through the sentence, and then finished the rest of the sentence.

Shen Hao's brows frowned even deeper, and it could be heard that Tang Qingyuan was aware of his own situation, and had already anticipated the worst possible situation. With Tang Qingyuan's age, as long as his cultivation level slipped, he would die immediately if he slipped into the God Concentration Realm.

"Is it an injury?"

"It's poison. It's an erysipelas that can't be named clearly. After being poisoned for half a year, I have exhausted all methods, and I have no complexion. The signs of solid words, several alchemists and doctors who have seen it, said that they are basically hopeless."

poison? Is there any erysipelas in the world that can damage the foundation of a monk's cultivation? !

Shen Hao then asked: "You've been muddling along in the Thousand Households, how could you get into such troubles? Who would give you such a strange poison?"

"Just muddle through?" Tang Qingyuan rolled his eyes, then glanced at his mouth and said, "If it's really muddle along, it wouldn't be like this. It's still careless and defenseless."

"Is it inconvenient to say why? I heard that you were still investigating the case of my last assassination, and had conflicts with Kuang Shengyuan. Could it be because of this case?"

"Hehe, are you asking this to save me or to avenge me?" Tang Qingyuan's eyes dimmed, and he looked at Shen Hao.

"The relationship between you and me is no different than anything else. I can't do things that I can't save. I don't know if I can save it, but I must try. If it can't be saved, it's not impossible to help you take revenge, but it depends on my ability." I can't handle it." Shen Hao didn't say a single false word, he spoke very truthfully, and he didn't say anything big to Tang Qingyuan.

Tang Qingyuan seemed to smile even more happily when he heard the words, and said, "It's fine to save me, so many doctors are helpless, what can you do? There is something on the table over there, take a look, and it will count as a meeting between you and me." A reminder."

In fact, Tang Qingyuan was already very happy that Shen Hao could come here in person today. Now that he is waiting to die at home, seeing the coldness of the world is chilling. It is rare for Shen Hao to not forget the old things now. As for other things, Tang Qingyuan is not in a hurry to speak now. He will ask Shen Hao to meet the day when he really wants to let go. better. It was nothing more than taking care of the children of the Tang family, Shen Hao would not refuse.

Shen Hao got up and took the copper bar that Tang Qingyuan said was placed on the table next to him. When he took it, he actually needed his waist card and soul fluctuations to open it. This was Xuan Qingwei's usual protection against secret orders.

After unfolding and looking at a few rows, Shen Hao raised his head and looked at Tang Qingyuan and said, "Are you sure that the person who died in the Yamen jail was King Jing's inner guard?"

"Well. Although the man died in the prison of the local yamen, the body remained. I found someone to make a statue of the body according to the face of the body, and recorded all the traces of the body that could be regarded as characteristics. Get it down, and then ask people to go to the imperial city to check.

It's also luck. I used to have a good friend who is now in charge of the roster in the local yamen of the imperial city, and has helped a lot.

The imperial guards were also selected from the army, and they were all trained from a young age. Although these people have no copybooks to store in the local yamen after they enter the inner guard training, they will first join the army before entering the inner guard. Leave some clues.

Combined with the age and appearance of the corpse, one can always find a matching roster after looking through the records of each city. "

This is a very stupid method, so stupid that if Shen Hao didn't go over it carefully in his mind a few more times, he would never have thought of checking people's feet like this. Because there are too many and too detailed, it takes a lot of time not to talk about it and it is easy to miss it, resulting in nothing in the end. After all, the imperial guard was selected at a very young age, and the corpse is obviously not young. The gap can easily cause the appearance to be difficult to distinguish.

"So I'm very lucky, otherwise I will definitely not find anyone." Tang Qingyuan also sighed, and then continued: "Later, I reported the news to Kuang Shengyuan and hoped that he would report to Mr. Jiang. Because King Jing was involved, and with him The assassination of Xuan Qingwei was related to the important case. But Kuang Shengyuan wanted to suppress the news, saying that the current situation is chaotic, and it is not appropriate to involve Xuan Qingwei in the "big test" of the royal family. He said that he will wait until the situation is stable in the future.

I quarreled with him about it. Then he hung up.

As a result, the anger in my heart has not calmed down, so I went to the restaurant to drink a meal, hehe, I was also poisoned. Moreover, the poison is so weird that I didn't realize it until three days later. It was useless to invite many doctors, and I didn't dare to say it out, worrying that the other party would take my life if they saw that I was unwilling. So lingering to this day. "

Shen Hao nodded, but he thought that the main reason why the other party didn't directly kill Tang Qingyuan was that he didn't want to get into trouble with the life of Xuan Qingwei's deputy Qianhu at this juncture, and it would be safest to poison and die slowly.

Shen Hao closed the copper bar, looked at Tang Qingyuan who was ashamed and said, "If it's just poisoning, maybe I can really save your life."
