Chapter 974: The Magnificent Power of Han (Ninety-Eight)

After about half an hour, the Phoenix Mountain returned to calm. A group of guards dragged back a guy in tattered clothes and tied up. Looking at the appearance of the guards, Gao Yuan was also surprised. Several people seemed to have been beaten. It was as black as smoke from fireworks. He Weiyuan ran over and asked a few questions in a low voice before walking back with a relaxed expression.

"Your Majesty, it's okay, no one was hurt."

The assassin was escorted in front of Gao Yuan. Ye Jing'er and Ning Xin had taken refuge in the house with their two children. He Lanyan changed into neat clothes and came out, but she stood next to Gao Yuan, walking up and down like a curious baby. Look at this guy.

The assassin's head was lowered, and you could see a big bump on his head, which was obviously knocked out by the guards. His hair was combed in a bun with a wooden hairpin inserted into it. His head was shaking unconsciously, and it was obviously still there. Didn't wake up.

"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate my king!" He Weiyuan stepped forward very roughly, grabbed the bun on this guy's head, and lifted his head up.

He Weiyuan's grasp seemed to wake the man up from his confusion. He turned his somewhat confused eyes, saw Gao Yuan in front of him, and suddenly shouted, "It's unfair, I'm not an assassin."

"Do you think it's too late to cry out for injustice at this time?" He Weiyuan sneered: "My King of Han Dynasty's rule in Fenghuang Mountain is something that is announced to the world. Fenghuang Mountain has long been closed and no outsiders are allowed to enter. If you have no other plans, Why did you sneak into Phoenix Mountain with the intention of getting close to my king?"

"I have ulterior motives, but it is definitely not to assassinate the King of Han!" the assassin whispered.

He Weiyuan snorted, "Do you admit that you have ulterior motives? If it wasn't for assassination, why did you run away after being discovered by the guards? When the guards were chasing you, you violently resisted arrest? Injured many of my soldiers?"

The assassin turned to look at the guards with dark faces beside him, and said loudly: "Those things are not harmful, they are just used by me to escape. Aren't they still standing there fine?" What?"

Gao Yuan looked at the assassin who kept defending himself and asked with interest: "You sneaked into Phoenix Mountain with the intention of getting close to me. If you say it's not an assassination, what do you want to do?"

Upon hearing Gao Yuan's inquiry, the assassin's eyes suddenly became intense, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am here to offer you the elixir."

Gao Yuan almost didn't believe his ears.

"What did you say, elixir?"

"Yes, elixir!" The assassin nodded vigorously, "The villain spent half his life researching the elixir, and spent decades on it. He always missed the last step and failed to succeed. But just when the king ascended the throne, On that day, the villain's furnace of elixir unexpectedly came to fruition. On the day when the elixir was completed, the house was filled with fragrance, the sky was filled with rays of rays of light, and dense celestial music was echoing in the air. Someone somewhere seemed to be warning me that this furnace The elixir can only be offered to the king."

"That's enough, that's enough!" Gao Yuan looked at the guy in front of him dumbfounded. If he were another person, he might really be moved by what this guy said, but who is he? How can these tricks be hidden from him? This guy in front of him This guy is probably a bold guy who wants to reach the sky in one step. "You said you wanted to donate the elixir to me, but where is your elixir?"

"How could I dare to carry such an elixir with me? It was naturally well hidden. I originally wanted to see the king, but I didn't dare to speak openly about it. I encountered obstacles at every turn. Later, I heard that the king went to Fenghuang Mountain to protect his parents, so I decided to Come quietly."

"Then my guards found you, why did you run away?"

"They looked fierce and fierce. They drew their swords and came at me, and arrows flew towards me. The villain was so frightened that he was confused for a moment, so he ran away. What on earth he was here to do, he even forgot at that moment." The assassin lowered his head in shame.

Gao Yuan shook his head and waved his hand to drag this man down. He is just a guy who wants to get rich overnight. He is bold when nothing happens, but as timid as a mouse when something happens. There are many such people. "Take him down and wait until we go down the mountain tomorrow. Then drive them away," Gao Yuan ordered.

Looking at the guy being dragged down, He Lanyan's eyes widened, "Brother Gao, is there really an elixir? I heard these things from the clan elders when I was a kid!"

"Stop it!" Gao Yuan knocked her on the head, "What elixir is there? The poison elixir is almost the same. If you really take this elixir of his, it is impossible to become an immortal. It is more likely to report to the Lord of Hell."

"Really!" He Lanyan exclaimed, "Then this guy really needs to be put on trial. Maybe someone sent him here specially to assassinate you."

"There are so many assassins!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to such people, just get rid of the problem."

He Weiyuan came over and said, "Your Majesty, these are some things found from that guy." He spread out a small package with some miscellaneous items inside. He Lanyan looked at several dark things. Yuan Wanzi couldn't help but become curious, and quickly snatched one out, "Could this be the legendary elixir?"

"Third lady, be careful!" He Weiyuan suddenly shouted, "That bastard used this thing to hurt our brothers."

"What's the use of this thing? Can it hurt you?" He Lanyan held the black ball with two fingers and asked with some surprise. He knew that these guards of Gao Yuan were all skilled in fighting skills. of.

He Weiyuan carefully took the black ball from Helanyan's hand, "Your Majesty, Madam, this thing doesn't have much lethality, but it's quite intimidating. If it really hits them directly, they will become like those people. I asked, and the guards thought that this guy threw a hidden weapon, so they used knives to crack it. As a result, the thing exploded, with smoke and fire, making them look like this. If we didn't have more people and a large enough net, this guy would have really slipped away."

"Oh?" Gao Yuan became interested and reached out to take the black ball, "Let me try! "He threw the black ball towards a tree not far in front of him. With a bang, the black ball hit the tree. As Weiyuan said, fireworks went off. Helanyan was shocked.

After the fireworks, the trunk of the tree turned black, but the people closer to the tree were not hurt except for being shocked. Helanyan clapped her hands and laughed: "It's really a scary thing, it's useless, brother, don't you think so?" Looking back at Gao Yuan, Helanyan was shocked again. Gao Yuan stared at the place where the fireworks just went off, as if he was out of his body.

Gao Yuan At this moment, a huge wave of emotions surged in his heart. Damn it, he was really confused. When He Weiyuan mentioned this thing before, he should have realized what it was. Isn't this the most simplified version of gunpowder? It doesn't seem to have much power now, but if it can be improved, this thing will bring huge changes to the current war.

Gunpowder! Gao Yuan shouted in his heart.

"Brother, brother, what's wrong with you?" Gao Yuan was awakened by a violent shaking of his body. He looked down at He Lanyan, who was shaking him violently and looked anxious, and smiled: "If you shake again, But it shook me apart."

"Brother, what happened to you just now?" He Lanyan asked in a panic.

"Nothing, this thing of his is interesting. He Weiyuan, bring him back to me, I want to talk to him." Gao Yuan turned and walked into the house, and He Lanyan hurriedly followed him.

In the house, Ye Jing'er was also nervous, "Brother, these demons' sweet words must not be listened to."

Ning Xin also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Brother Gao, these people are shameless and want to take the shortcut to Zhongnan. When you meet such people, you don't need to talk to them, just chop them with a knife. Yes, if there really is an elixir in this world, why don't they eat it themselves but offer it to you?"

"I know." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I'm not interested in his so-called elixir, I'm interested in something else, okay, okay, your husband is not so ignorant, and he won't dream of immortality and ascending to heaven. What's so good about being an immortal? I have a house full of beautiful wives, and I can never enjoy enough of the prosperity of this world!"

Seeing Gao Yuan's clear mind, Ye Jing'er was relieved.

"You guys, go back and rest. Tomorrow we will return to Jicheng and it will be another day. "I'm busy, I want to meet this guy who plays tricks." Gao Yuan said.

"Yan Zi will stay with you!" Ye Jing'er said: "That guy is mysterious, I feel more at ease with Yan Zi by your side. Also, let He Weiyuan stay by your side."

"I know!" Gao Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "Such a skinny guy, what can he do to me, I can twist him to death with one hand."

Two guards dragged the man in and threw him on the ground.

"Untie him!" Gao Yuan said.

The rope was untied, and the man quickly pushed his hands to bleed. It seems that he is really a man who can He Weiyuan, holding the hilt of the knife, stood one step to the side of Gao Yuan. Helanyan sat on one side, hooking the scimitar with her fingers, turning it non-stop, and looking at this guy with a smile.

"Weiyuan stays, the others go back!" Gao Yuan ordered. He didn't want too many people to know what he wanted to ask.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Qingxin."

"Qingxin, is that your name?"

"Your Majesty, this is my Taoist name, which was given to me by my master since I was a child. I really can't remember my real name."

"Qingxin? Judging from your behavior, you don't seem to be very Qingxin. There are indeed a lot of selfish thoughts!" Gao Yuan laughed.

Qingxin said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right. I have had a hard time these years, but I finally lived up to my master's expectations and made the elixir."

"Shut up, don't talk about your elixir anymore!" Gao Yuan laughed and scolded, picking up a black pill from the table, "I have no interest in your elixir, but can you tell me how you made it?"

Looking at the black pill in Gao Yuan's hand, Qingxin seemed a little nervous, "This, this is what I made by chance." (To be continued)
