Chapter 108 The Antidote Obtained at the Cost of One's Life
Yan Cang grew up in the border military camp when he was young. At the age of twelve, he followed the general to train. At the age of fourteen, he was already quite impressive. At the age of sixteen, he officially led the army.
When he was seventeen, he was guarding the border alone. Xi State thought that Dayong had no generals, so it let a young prince lead the troops alone. He repeatedly provoked and tried to seize Dayong City. The general of Xi State even said, "The prince of Dayong is handsome and handsome. Whoever can capture him alive, I will reward him to you, so that you can also taste the taste of the young prince."
When this sentence spread to the Dayong military camp, the soldiers were indignant, but Yan Cang did not show any emotion. At that time, the boy, who was only seventeen years old, was so calm that it was shocking, which was completely inconsistent with his cruel methods.
In that battle, 50,000 soldiers of Xi State were completely wiped out, and no one was left alive.
The Xi general was shot in the shoulder by Yan Cang with an arrow, and then captured alive. Yan Cang did not give him to his men to taste. First, his men did not have this hobby, and second, the other party's appearance and age were really unpalatable.
He just had someone bring a wolf and put it in a cage. In front of the soldiers of Dayong, he ordered people to cut off his meat piece by piece and feed it to the wolf in the cage.
The Xi general screamed in pain, watching his meat being thrown to the wolf to fill the teeth. He was almost terrified, regretful and afraid, wailing for mercy.
However, Yan Cang was unmoved, and the other party died after being tortured for two days.
Since then, not only the world was frightened of Yan Cang, but even the prince's own soldiers trembled when they saw him. The big and strong men trembled in their calves when they saw him. His reputation in the past can be seen.
This is also the reason why the four princes of Dayong did not dare to act rashly.
The late emperor knew that his son was not strong enough, and Dayong must be deterred by Yan Cang, but he could not pass the throne to his younger brother, so he could only appoint him as the regent.
But the regent was too powerful, and it would not work without someone to restrain him. Yan Qing, the star of destiny, became a temporary pawn. He thought that he could restrain the three parties - after Yan Qing married Xiao Jinghan, the combined power of the star of destiny and the Xiao family would be enough to counter the regent.
He even planned the death date of Yan Qing. He thought that seven years would be enough for his son to sit firmly on the throne.
There was nothing wrong with the late emperor's thinking. At least he succeeded in his previous life. Yan Qing married Xiao Jinghan. The military power in the hands of General Xiao, Yan Qing's Qilin Guard, and the reputation of the star of destiny were enough to make many people dare not act presumptuously.
It's a pity why she was allowed to live again?
Yan Qing stood in front of the court, recalling that the fate of the regent Yan Cang in his previous life was not too good. His beloved died of poisoning. He gave up his military power in despair and went to an unknown place. Anyway, Yan Chen sent people to search all over the world, but there was no news.
In this life, everyone's fate is destined to be rewritten, because of the Xiao family. Yan Chen offended Yan Qing completely when he came up. With the cancellation of the marriage with the Xiao family, the Xiao family lost power, and Yan Chen could no longer sit firmly on his throne.
When Yan Cang came, he was accompanied by only two guards. The regent was tall and thin, wearing a leisurely green robe. Compared with when he was in the imperial capital, he was less cold and intimidating, but his demeanor was not to be underestimated.
"Let's go to the study and talk." Yan Qing turned around and walked to the study with Yan Cang. "What do you think of the conditions I proposed to the emperor's uncle last time?"
The regent promised the emperor to talk to Yan Qing that time. The two talked in the study, but no one knew what they talked about. Yan Qing left the imperial city early the next morning.
Yan Cang walked slowly with his hands behind his back, his noble and indifferent face was as calm as water: "What is your purpose in wanting the Greedy Wolf Army?"
"To overthrow Yan Chen's throne." Yan Qing did not hide anything, "The more military power you have, the greater the possibility of success."
Yan Cang seemed not surprised and was silent for a moment: "Where did you get the Vermillion Bird Gallbladder?"
"Vermillion Bird Gallbladder is just the name of the antidote. The emperor's uncle should ask me where I got the antidote." Yan Qing smiled faintly, "In fact, the antidote is not readily available. I exchanged my life for it."
Yan Cang was silent: "Exchanged with my life?"
"The royal family harms people, and the most common way is poison." Yan Qing said indifferently, "So I have studied it carefully and tested the poison myself, and then I made several highly toxic antidotes."
One of the antidotes was specially prepared for the regent, and the purpose was to exchange for the Greedy Wolf Army in his hands.
The person the regent king cared about had been poisoned two years ago. It was Yan Cang who sealed the other person's major meridians to temporarily save his life. However, if he could not find the antidote, the person would have to lie there and sleep.
Yan Cang has not been interested in politics in the past two years and has been looking for an antidote.
Some people say that the antidote is Suzaku gallbladder.
However, there are many famous doctors in the world, but no one can tell what the real Suzaku gallbladder is.
Hearing Yan Qing's answer, Yan Cang said, "Are you sure you can cure it?"
"Yes." Yan Qing said calmly, "I have tried the poison myself, more than once, and tried the antidote again and again after being poisoned. The emperor's uncle does not need to worry about whether the antidote is reliable."
Yan Cang turned his head to look at her: "I don't think a dragon throne can make you pay such a high price."
Although she said it calmly, Yan Cang knew the harm of the poison to the body, and understood that some poisons would make life worse than death.
A person who is greedy for power and loves power would never be so indifferent to his own life and death. It is incomprehensible to pay such a high price for that chair.
"A throne is not worth it." Yan Qing said indifferently, "but it is worth it to overthrow the Yong Dynasty."
Yan Cang was silent: "You want revenge?"
“Yes.” Yan Qing smiled faintly, “Uncle, do you think I shouldn’t take revenge?”
Although Yan Cang didn’t know about her rebirth, Yan Qing felt that even being exiled for ten years was enough to make her hate him.
"Uncle may not know that before his death, my father instructed Xiao Jinghan to kill me." Yan Qing pushed open the door of the study and let Yan Cang enter first. She then closed the door. "My father is so calculating. He wants me to marry Xiao Jinghan and use the Qilin Guard in my hands and the military power in Xiao Chongshan to restrain my uncle, so as to buy enough time for Yan Chen to consolidate the throne and win the hearts of the people."
Walking to the chair behind the desk and sitting down, Yan Qing said: "Uncle, don't wonder how I know this. I have no intention of joining forces with my uncle to deal with Yan Chen. Now there are only two choices before my uncle. One is to take my antidote and give me the military power of the Greedy Wolf Army; the other is to continue to be the regent and hold the military power, watching the people you care about leave the world."
Yan Cang nodded: "I can promise you, but there are conditions."
"Uncle, please speak."
"The Greedy Wolf Army was brought up by this king. They will not easily obey others. What methods do you plan to use to make them obedient?"
