Liao Fei could tell that Zhou Cong had already made up his mind to help the Xueyi Duke do this. No matter how hard he tried to persuade his, he could only save himself.
When night fell, Zhou Cong went to the guest courtyard according to the plan he and Lu Tong had discussed together, and invited Huangfu Xiutai and Lu Tong to a midnight snack.
After meeting each other, he praised Huangfu Xiutai and his well. He praised his to the point that it seemed like there was nothing in the sky or on the ground, as if he had admired his for many years.
No matter what kind of impression they had of Zhou Cong, in the end, they still didn't hit the smiling person. Hearing that he was here to treat them to a meal, Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan both happily accepted.
The supper that Zhou Cong prepared was extremely sumptuous. Because he had asked about Huangfu Xiutai's and Jin Xuan's preferences beforehand, he had even specially instructed the servants to make the dishes a little lighter. As for the wine that was prepared, it was all fruit wine unique to Chuan Country.
The degree of the fruit wine wasn't high, it tasted like a beverage. Even a girl who didn't know how to drink could drink a few cups without getting drunk. Of course, Zhou Cong did not want to use the fruit wine to get them drunk. Instead, he wanted to use the fruit wine's fragrance to hide the knockout drugs.
Although General Hong had already said that this type of knockout drug was colourless and tasteless, Zhou Cong still kept it in mind to prevent unexpected accidents.
During the meal, Zhou Cong raised his wine cup and said to Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan with a smile: "It has been too exhausting for two elders to accompany Feng King on their journey today, let me first toast to the two elders."
As he spoke, he first finished the wine in his cup. Huangfu Xiutai did not have much of a reaction, he silently held the cup while Jin Xuan laughed: "Master Zhou is too courteous, with such a hospitality, Elder Huangfu and I are feeling a bit bad."
She was about to drink, but then she suddenly remembered something and put down the wine cup. She shook her head and said: "Elder Huangfu and I need to ensure the safety of Feng King, so it's not appropriate to drink alcohol. It's better not to drink anymore."
Huangfu Xiutai subconsciously raised his eyebrows at his words. He knew how much Jin Xuan drank in his heart, a few cups of wine was nothing to her, why did he suddenly become so pretentious all of a sudden?
Zhou Cong secretly grinned, and said with a face full of smiles: "Elder Jin, don't worry, Feng King's courtyard is definitely safe, nothing will happen, tonight Elder Jin can drink as much as you want!"
Jin Xuan muttered to herself for a moment, then turned her head to look at Huangfu Xiutai, as if asking his meaning.
Huangfu Xiutai hesitated for a moment, but still nodded his head, indicating that there was no harm. Seeing that, Jin Xuan calmed down, raised his cup to indicate to Zhou Cong, and drank the wine in it.
Seeing that Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan had drunk all the wine in the cup, Zhou Cong's heart that was in his throat finally calmed down. He smiled and toasted to Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan, the atmosphere seemed to be extremely harmonious.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhou Cong secretly observed Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan, and the two of them were still calm and composed, with no signs of being unconscious. He was secretly anxious, could it be that the sedative Xueyi Duke gave him was wrong, or that the two of their cultivation was too high, and that the sedative had no effect on the two of them?
Just as he was pondering and secretly feeling anxious, Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan stood up together, cupping their hands and said: Thank you for Master's hospitality, it's getting late, the two of us need to go back!
"Oh ?" The two elders, again ? "Let's drink a few more cups!" Zhou Cong stood up quickly and urged him to stay.
"No, if we don't go back now, Feng King will not be happy if we find out." Jin Xuan shook his head, then turned and walked out. Before she could even take a step forward, her body suddenly swayed, and then she involuntarily sat down with one hand on her head.
She said indistinctly, "This Seat... "He seems to have drunk too much ?" Before she could finish her sentence, there was a crash as her head slammed into the table.
At the same time, Huangfu Xiutai also sat down. Just like Jin Xuan, his body shook twice, his eyes suddenly flipped upwards, and fell flat on his back, unconscious. Boom!
Ouch! The knockout drug worked! Zhou Cong was ecstatic. He forcefully suppressed his excitement and even pretended to be concerned. "Elder Huangfu? Elder Jin? What happened to the two elders? Am I getting drunk so quickly? "
Without replying, Huangfu Xiutai still let out a long and well-proportioned snoring.
Zhou Cong called out a few more times, confirming that the two of them were still unconscious. As if he had collapsed, he sat back down and heaved a long sigh of relief. At the same time, he raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
At this time, Lu Tong quickly walked in from outside. He first checked on Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan, who were not able to stand up anymore, then quickly walked in front of Zhou Cong. He said with a face full of joy: "Congratulations, it seems like the knockout drug has worked!"
Pausing, he continued urgently, "My lord, while the two of them are unconscious, should ?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a horizontal slicing gesture.
Zhou Cong shuddered subconsciously, he shook his head and said: "Xueyi Duke only wanted me to confuse the two of them, he did not say that he wanted to take their lives.
"This ?" Lu Tong was startled and asked carefully, "Then ?" Master, what do you think we should do with the two of them? "
"Xueyi Duke only wants the head of the Feng King, as for the two of them, don't worry about them, just let them sleep here, we can decide when the Xueyi Duke comes!"
Lu Tong nodded and replied, "My lord is wise!" He changed the subject and continued, "When the Hong Family Army enters the city, we still don't know what kind of mess the County Head Palace will face. Lord must quickly evacuate the family members to prevent them from being implicated."
Zhou Cong's body trembled, he strongly patted his head, and replied: "Right, right, right! It's all thanks to you reminding me earlier, otherwise something big would have happened. " Saying that, he quickly walked out and asked, "Where is Fei'er? Why didn't I see him? "2
Lu Tong shrugged and said, "I didn't see it either. However, Young Master Fei has always been cautious and timid, so I'm guessing..." "He should be scared away by now ?"
"Humph! Difficult to achieve greatness!" Zhou Cong snorted coldly.
After waiting for Zhou Cong and Lu Tong to leave for a while, Huangfu Xiutai who was originally lying on the ground and Jin Xuan who was lying on the table started to move, following that, the two of them opened their eyes.
"This Lord Zhou is simply too reckless. He actually used such a despicable method in front of Junior Sister. He's simply making a fool out of himself!" Huangfu Xiutai sat up and looked around. Seeing that the windows were all closed, he snorted and shook his sleeves.
Jin Xuan rolled her eyes at him. Listening to him, it was as if she was the descendant of one of the underworld methods. She said faintly: "It seems like the news that Ling Ye sent back was true. As expected, the People of Chuan Country is indeed going to make a move against Feng King."
"Junior Sister, what should we do now?"
"I don't know. Such a difficult task, I think it's best to let Feng King think about it!"
From the conversation between Zhou Cong and Lu Tong, he could tell that Xueyi Duke Hong Yuetian was the mastermind behind this incident. He had colluded with Zhou Cong and attempted to use the power of Hong Family Army to forcefully kill Tang Yin.
"We need to hurry and inform the Feng King." Huangfu Xiutai stood up, and acted as if he was going to walk out. Jin Xuan grabbed hold of him first, then pursed her lips towards the rear window. Huangfu Xiutai immediately understood what she meant and turned to walk towards the back window.
They were so familiar with each other that it took only a glance or a small movement to understand each other's minds.
During the banquet just now, Jin Xuan's glance at Huangfu Xiutai had caused him to be alarmed. She did not stick even a single drop of the wine in the cup, and all of them collapsed onto the chair without leaving any trace.
She was extremely sensitive to all kinds of medicines, and deliberately chose to use the fruit wine to hide the bewitchment medicine. If it was anyone else, perhaps they would have been tricked by Jin Xuan, but Jin Xuan sensed the strangeness within, and immediately warned Huangfu Xiutai.
The two of them didn't dare to walk through the main entrance. They quietly jumped out of the back window and quickly headed towards the guest courtyard.
As for Tang Yin, since he had nothing to do in his room, he had his men find some books on Chuan Country and casually flip through them.
At this time, Ah San walked in from outside and came to Tang Yin's side. He said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, a person called Liao Fei requests to see you. He said that he has a very important report for Your Majesty."
Liao Fei? Tang Yin blinked, he had never heard of this name before. He asked: "Did you explain why?"
"Not really. He said that he would only speak about it if he saw the King. Ah, yes, he said he is Zhou Cong's nephew. " Ah San said.
Tang Yin nodded, no wonder he could get close to the heavily guarded courtyard. He said, "Let him in!"
"Yes!" "Great King!" Ah San replied, then turned and walked out. Not long later, Ah San brought in a young man who seemed to be around thirty years old. This person was refined and had a medium build. At a glance, he looked like a scholar.
Entering the room, the young man looked at Tang Yin, he anxiously lowered his head and quickly walked up, cupping his hands and greeting: "I am Liao Fei, I pay my respects to Feng King."
Tang Yin waved his hand with a smile and said: "I heard that you have urgent matters to meet this king. May I know the reason?"
Liao Fei hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, seeing that Ah San was the only one in the room, he whispered: "Feng King, tonight you cannot stay in Dazhang, you have to take advantage of the night to escape out of the city, if not, there might be a disaster!"
Once those words were said, not only was Tang Yin stunned, Ah San's expression changed greatly as well. Subconsciously, he took a step forward and asked in a deep voice, "What does Mr. Liao mean by this? "Please speak more clearly!"
Liao Fei bit his lips, made up his mind, and said seriously: "Xueyi Duke is planning to kill Feng King tonight, and now, a hundred thousand people are to camp out at Yao County, which is less than five kilometers away from the Dazhang. At that time, Feng King will become a turtle in a jar with Hong Family Army, and it'll be impossible for him to escape even if she has wings!"
Ouch! Even the calm Tang Yin could not help but take in a deep breath when he heard this.
Liao Fei continued to speak, "Under Xueyi Duke's coercion, uncle is helpless and can only follow his orders. Right now, the County Army in the city is already colluding with the Hong Family Army, if Feng King doesn't leave now, it will really be too late."
