Chapter 150 It’s too late
"What is it now?" Qin Jinghao felt a headache coming on whenever someone came to report.
"Your Highness, this is the latest update from over there."
Qin Jinghao accepted the document, had someone send the Second Elder away, leaving only himself and his strategist.
The strategist took the letter, his brow furrowed.
It contains records of Jiang Qingyue and a brother and sister who appeared under an alias, as well as a third person who appeared later.
"Your Highness, something's not right." After years of planning, the strategist instinctively felt that something was amiss.
Qin Jinghao was also deep in thought; how could he not see it?
There were three people, a man and a woman, and then an elderly man came along. This group...
Qin Jinghao stood up abruptly, recalling the news that the three-colored moonlight had disappeared. Combining this with the timeline, Qin Jinghao made a bold guess!
Is today the fifteenth?
"Yes, Your Highness, the moving should have already begun." The strategist's heart skipped a beat, realizing the possibility as well. "Your Highness!"
"Quickly, send a signal to stop the transport and destroy the stronghold immediately!"
However, it was all too late.
At this very moment, as the group was carrying the boxes out of Chilinpo, they were caught off guard by a sudden group of people.
Before they could react, a signal flare went off in the air, but it was too late...
"Kill them!" The leader made a decisive decision; they had to be dealt with, otherwise all the secrets would be completely exposed.
The two sides immediately engaged in a chaotic battle.
Because Qin Xuanyu had chosen skilled men, it wasn't long before Qin Jinghao's men were all under control.
The people Qin Xuanyu summoned were the Grand Commandant and the Imperial Censor. Everyone knew that the Grand Commandant and the Imperial Censor did not belong to any faction and always maintained a neutral attitude, obeying the emperor. Therefore, the emperor valued them highly.
They are the most suitable people to be the witnesses.
Of course, this is not enough.
Jiang Qingyue deliberately revealed the existence of the Medical Sect in the border city, believing that the Poison Sect would definitely jump out. At that time, she could catch Qin Jinghao like a turtle in a jar and completely crush him.
Thanks to Qin Xuanyu's strategy, the people of Xiti Kingdom dared not invade the border city again, and there was a period of peace.
After arranging everything, Gu Linsen returned to the capital with Qin Xuanyu, Jiang Qingyue, and their entourage.
As expected, on their way back to the capital, Qin Xuanyu and his entourage encountered assassins.
Qin Xuanyu ordered his men to protect Jiang Qingyue and the member of the Medical Sect, and then led his men to fight.
Looking at their attire, Luo Yuan whispered to Jiang Qingyue, "They are from the Poison Sect. The one who led the fight against the Prince of Qin is the Second Elder of the Poison Sect. He is ambitious and ruthless. Many people from the Medical Sect have died at his hands."
Jiang Qingyue nodded knowingly. "Does he have any weaknesses?"
Luo Yuan shook his head. "That's hard to say. Those who are in the Poison Sect are not the kind of people who are afraid of death, so it's difficult to make a move."
"No, everyone has weaknesses. Tell me about this Second Elder."
Ahead, Qin Xuanyu and the others were fighting hard to stop and repel the Poison Sect members, while behind, Luo Yuan was explaining the Second Elder to Jiang Qingyue.
After listening, Jiang Qingyue had a general idea of what was going on.
During this brief pause in their conversation, Qin Xuanyu had already subdued the Second Elder.
The Second Elder looked arrogant and disdainful. "Hmph, Qin Xuanyu, you're just lucky. So what if you've woken up? Your poison must be getting better soon!" The Second Elder naturally knew about Qin Xuanyu's poisoning, but what he didn't know was that Qin Xuanyu's poison had already been cured.
"Who told you to do this?"
"No one, they just don't like the Medical Sect." The Second Elder did not directly answer Qin Xuanyu's question.
"You know, that's not what I'm asking."
"Then what's the point of asking?" The Second Elder said indifferently, "At worst, I'll just die."
"Did you poison my grandfather?" Jiang Qingyue stepped forward and took Qin Xuanyu's place to continue asking.
"That's right, you're lucky you found the Three-Colored Moon Essence, otherwise, this old bastard would have been dead long ago!"
The Second Elder was not afraid of angering them at all.
"Who told you to do it?" The same question, but asking about different things.
The Second Elder laughed heartily, then his smile abruptly vanished. "I don't know!" he exclaimed, as if he were deliberately toying with Jiang Qingyue.
"I know without you saying it, it's the Crown Prince, isn't it?" Jiang Qingyue's tone was calm and collected, but to the Second Elder, it was like a thunderclap.
A flicker of shock involuntarily crossed his eyes, his pupils dilating, but he remained composed on his face. "The Crown Prince? How could we mere mortals of the martial world possibly have met such a great figure as the Crown Prince? If you are willing to introduce me, I would not mind."
Although it was only a subtle change, Jiang Qingyue still noticed it.
She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile. "Your eyes tell me that you are the Crown Prince."
"Hey, what's wrong with you...?"
"Second Elder, are you really going to work for the Crown Prince? I know what you're after, but it's a big mistake to pin your hopes on the Crown Prince."
"Since the Crown Prince is capable of discarding a useful minister like my grandfather, who has rendered him such service, what will become of you if he truly succeeds in the future? Your existence will not be a source of pride for him."
Jiang Qingyue pressed on relentlessly, without resorting to any torture, but instead directly engaged in psychological warfare with them.
"You're talking nonsense!" the Second Elder said, but in his heart, he was already wavering.
"Second Elder, you have come here today to eliminate the people of the Medical Sect. But who started the conflict with the Medical Sect in the first place?"
Now that the entire Ghost Sect is falling apart, and the Poison Sect also needs to recuperate, are you sure you want to enter the mortal world because of this, ultimately leading to the downfall of the Poison Sect?
After hearing Jiang Qingyue's words, the Second Elder was silent for a moment, but still stubbornly said, "Hmph, I won't fall for your tricks!"
"Second Elder, I have said all I have to say. I hope you will think it over carefully."
After saying that, Jiang Qingyue had someone invite the Second Elder away, and provided him with good food and drink, just waiting for him to come to his senses and play a greater role.
Everything was ready, but without Qin Jinghao as the main character, it naturally couldn't proceed.
Therefore, having obtained what they wanted, Jiang Qingyue and her group, including Gu Linsen, prepared to return to the capital.
Upon learning the news, the emperor flew into a rage in the imperial court.
He threw the memorial directly at Qin Jinghao's face. "Tell me, what exactly happened? Who did you offend? Why are they trying to frame you like this? I told you, you are the Crown Prince, you must be extremely careful in your actions. What did you do?!"
The emperor looked furious, but his words were pointed, as if he were trying to exonerate Qin Jinghao.
"Father, I am innocent! Someone is framing me!"
