994 In Other Words, He Was Di Fuyi! (1/2)

”What about the soldiers who took the pill? How are they doing?” Gu Xijiu asked.

Rong Che found himself in agony as he continued, ”The troop consists of five thousand members, and they have been taking the pill for six months, which was long enough for it to become an addiction. If they stopped taking the pill for even two days, they would become easily agitated and would be triggered with the urge to kill people. Messenger Chenge have placed them all in a confinement area that is now guarded by the best fighters from the three major clans. I am here for two reasons: firstly, to seek a cure for my brother and secondly, I was hoping that Overlord Long would come back and find a way to treat those soldiers with his remedies. Those soldiers are the elites of our kingdom. Most of them are the sons of imperial officials, so their talents should not be wasted.”

Gu Xijiu rubbed her forehead while she thought to herself. If her assumption was correct, the drug that the soldiers had been taking was something similar to meth but with a more complicated after-effect. It would be classified as a forbidden biochemical even in the modern days.

It seemed like the mad scientist was indeed a lunatic. He would carry on with his frenzied activities wherever he went. He had caused such a great biochemical hazard in the current era.

The four messengers of The Lord were capable of finding out such complicated drug usage. If they had assisted in the matter earlier, the war would not have lasted for so long.

The principles upheld by The Lord might be the cause of their reluctance to participate in wars between two kingdoms and that they should allow things to take their course naturally. Only the involvement of evil power in the war would capture their attention.

”Xijiu, you have contributed greatly to this matter.” Ying Yannuo suddenly spoke up. He had been busy eating and drinking as though he was invisible.

”Hmm?” Gu Xijiu furrowed her brows in confusion.

”It was you who first realized that the Emperor was poisoned and determined the characteristics of the drug. You have given the four messengers a reason to continue their investigation and thus stopping the disaster,” explained Ying Yannuo, methodically.

Gu Xijiu was surprised. She seemed to have grasped the idea a little, ”Only you and I know about the poisoning of the Emperor, how could the four messengers find out about it? Are you one of them?”

Smilingly, Ying Yannuo helped her peel a piece of prawn and placed it in her bowl. He remained silent.
