C59 Conspiracy

Robert looked much more relaxed after bandaging his wounds, but for some reason, he still couldn't move. This made Lee Xiang make up his mind. He must find an opportunity to bring some of the juice back and study it. Perhaps this would be of great help to him in the future.

"You can start now. First of all, you should tell me who wants my life. " Lee Xiang looked at Robert and smiled. "Let me remind you, do not try to be perfunctory to me! Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious! "

Thinking of Lee Xiang's means just now, Robert could not help but feel a chill in his heart. His gaze unconsciously avoided Lee Xiang's eyes.

"I advise you not to know, because even if you know, you won't be able to do anything to them!"

"Is that so?" Lee Xiang was slightly stunned, then nodded and continued, "Tell me about it? If I can't afford to offend him. . . Alright. "

"Cough. . . " Robert suddenly coughed. "They are. . . Cough cough. . . "

Lee Xiang nodded, but he had a bad feeling in his heart. After Robert coughed a few times, he suddenly stopped talking. Lee Xiang was shocked and quickly jumped to Robert's side.

Only now did he realize that he had stopped breathing without any symptoms. There was no warning.

"Be on guard, protect the lord!" Bill had obviously noticed this as well, but his duty was to tell him that Lee Xiang's safety was the most important.

A few guards immediately surrounded it and looked around vigilantly. Obviously, they were worried that there were people hiding nearby and shooting arrows in the dark.

Lee Xiang waved his hand and motioned for them to disperse. He could guess it with a little bit of thought. If there were still people hiding nearby, they would have attacked long ago. Why did they wait until now? Besides, they weren't very strong. Therefore, he was pretty sure that Robert's death was caused by his negligence just now.

However, he couldn't remember where he had overlooked Robert. Furthermore, his body couldn't move at all, and he had actually stopped breathing silently. This was definitely a very puzzling matter. In the end, there was a mistake in that segment?

"He was poisoned!"

After Bill carefully checked Robert's body, he said in a deep voice.

Poisoned? Lee Xiang widened his eyes. How was this possible?

Lee Xiang's gaze fell upon the dead Robert. At this moment, his entire body had turned black. This was indeed a sign of being poisoned. Could it be that the juice of the tree leaves had some side effects? But that was impossible. The rabbit from the previous experiment lasted longer than Robert. This possibility could basically be ruled out! But where did this poison come from? One had to know that this was under the condition that he could not move his entire body. Moreover, he carefully checked Robert's body again after Bill and the others inspected him. He did not even let go of any poison hidden under his tongue. If there was no problem, then the problem now was very complicated.

There were two possibilities. The first was that they had been careless during the examination. The second was that someone was afraid that he would tell the truth and secretly help him seek death. If someone helped him, Then based on the current situation, the person who helped him was most likely someone among the few of them.

Bill was the first one to be excluded, because when he was dealing with Robert, He had indeed used all his strength, and he had been protecting him all along the way from the bottom of his heart. If it was him. . . He could have completely robbed himself. Lee Xiang carefully thought about the scene of his inspection just now. From the time he had come ashore until now, There were still two guards supporting him as he knelt in front of him. This was a chance. However, after Lee Xiang carefully recalled the situation just now, he eliminated the possibility that they had no chance at all. As for the other two, they had never gotten close to his body from beginning to end. They had always been responsible for being vigilant. This was naturally excluded. There was also Buda, but he only chopped off Robert's left hand. Of course, he should be excluded.

To be honest, Li Jun didn't want to doubt them, because these guards had no motive to help him, because Robert and the others had started to attack them with the intention to kill them all, and he could see it himself. This meant that these guards had no possibility of being on their side.

Then what was going on? Lee Xiang slapped his forehead with a headache. Obviously, this time, it wasn't a simple action of hatred Lower Race to kill him. This was a premeditated and commanding operation. The first place he chose was an area where he didn't care about anything. Furthermore, there were very few people. This fully illustrated this point.

What was the motive? Could it be related to him coming to Silo Province?

Lee Xiang shook his head, turned to Bill and said, "Where did you get poisoned? Where did it come from?" He hoped to find some clues through this incident. He hoped to find something.

"I just checked, this poison is a slow-acting type of poison, Wang Yao said. It should have come from the hands of a mage. It's clearly corroding from the outside to the inside, once it breaks out. . . Just like his current condition, there was no way to find the source of the poison. . . But it could be ruled out that he had prepared it beforehand! Otherwise, he would have died long ago. There is no need for him to suffer so much. " Bill had a solemn expression.

From the outside to the inside? Lee Xiang nodded. He knew a little about basic magic and magic potions. So he understood these professional terms. The so-called from the outside to the inside was from the skin to the five viscera. The opposite was exactly the opposite. However, he still couldn't figure out how this poison had the opportunity to get close to him.

After thinking for a while, Lee Xiang walked to the river bank and looked at the bodies of the archers all over their bodies. He felt a little regretful in his heart. If he could leave one or two alive, he would not be so passive. After all, the juice from the bow and arrows could temporarily numb them. It seemed that he had not considered it thoroughly enough.

He took off the masks of the corpses and found that they were all white people. There were no obvious marks on their bodies to prove their identity. As for the weapons, they were all ordinary weapons.

"Sir. . . Take a look at this. . . "

Bill called out softly from the other side.

Lee Xiang had also noticed that Bill was also observing these corpses. Clearly, he was also trying to find some clues. At this moment, he was squatting beside a corpse and lifting his hood.

This discovery surprised Lee Xiang because this person's skin was slightly yellow. Strictly speaking, it should be yellow with black in color and a high nose bridge. His forehead was also much taller than an average Asian. Lee Xiang noticed that Bill opened his tightly shut eyes and found that his eyes were actually blue.

It was very obvious that this person was not from the Reiss Empire! If his guess was correct, it should be the symbol of the Moose Empire, which was connected to the Silo Province.

Then, a few guards hurriedly lifted the masks of the remaining corpses and found that there were also a few people with the same characteristics.

"What do you think of this matter?" Lee Xiang was silent for a moment, then he looked at Bill and asked in a deep voice.

"If I am not wrong, the person who wanted to kill you was sent by the neighboring country!"

"But why are there people from Reiss Empire in the middle?" To be honest, Lee Xiang had also thought of this before. Bill's guess was very likely, but the existence of white people was also suspicious.

"Could it be that they are colluding with each other?" Bill's expression was solemn. "We must let Duke know about this. I suspect there is a conspiracy behind this!"

"Interesting, interesting. . . " Lee Xiang laughed. To be honest, there was a thought flashing across his mind just now. He seemed to have grasped something, but this thought was too fast. He did not have time to grasp it, so he needed to organize his thoughts. Maybe he could get some clues.

"Master, what should we do now? Should we continue through this forest? Or should we go back? " Bill asked in a low voice. " And master, your guqin is still outside the forest. There are still some things you bought in the capital. . . "

Lee Xiang could tell what he meant. He was still worried about what was going on in the forest. After all, strictly speaking, they had not really walked into the depths of the forest. Lee Xiang had given up on his plan to travel through the forest. However, after discovering the strange trees, To be honest, he was more and more interested in this place. Besides, what if someone attacked him from the outside? It was hard to say. On the contrary, it was safer in the forest.

"How about this. . . " Lee Xiang thought for a while and smiled at Bill. "To be safe, we are divided into two groups. Knight Bill and I, and Buda. The three of us will continue walking in. The other few will lead two injured guards. They should still be there, and then turn back. While we are at it, we will retrieve the things we left outside the forest. . . "

The few of them had no objections to Lee Xiang's arrangement. However, they were slightly curious about how Lee Xiang had instructed Buda to stay by his side. However, when they thought about how Buda had indeed done his duty during the journey, they felt relieved. After all, which one of them did not like to have loyal guards by their side?

"But master, on the way here, you have done your best. There was still a day's journey, and it was in the forest! Sir, you. . . "

Lee Xiang waved his hand. He knew that Bill was worried that he might not be able to handle the long journey.

"We don't actually need to walk. . . " Lee Xiang smiled and pointed at the raft by the river. "Since the Yalu River is flowing towards the Silo Province, then we can take the raft and go straight down. As long as we get out of the woods, we will definitely be in the territory of the Silo Province. . . "

Bill and a few guards were shocked. Why didn't they think of such a simple reason? This was indeed a good idea. They felt much more relaxed now.

Bill and the other guards who had returned immediately gave a few instructions. Under Lee Xiang's arrangement, they tidied up the scene and walked separately.

As for the bet between Bill and Lee Xiang, Lee Xiang did not mention anything about it. In the end, Bill could not help but mention this matter. After all, strictly speaking, he still lost. Although Robert did not say anything in the end, his belief in knights had been completely crushed by Lee Xiang. Strictly speaking, he had lost. However, Lee Xiang only faintly replied that he would talk about it after he returned to Silo Province.
