Poison

Chapter 273 Poison

Anthony followed the clever young man and stepped into Yang Haonian's mansion.

Today's Yang Haonian is different from the past. Not only is he respected as the supreme emperor in the underground world, but even in the officialdom, he has close relationships with many powerful noble officials and has great power.

Now there are black and white in the imperial capital, who doesn't know the name of "Master Yang"?No matter who likes him or doesn't like him, at least no one dares to ignore his existence.

Anthony went to look for him as soon as he returned to the imperial capital, and it was precisely because he had a lot of connections and connections that he should have the information he wanted.

But all of this is due to the opportunity Anthony gave him.And even now, the former little hooligan can walk almost sideways in the imperial capital, and others still look at Anthony's face behind him more, and don't want to and dare not care about him.

It stands to reason that Yang Haonian has received Anthony's support and support, so it is only natural to be grateful.

But Yang Haonian may not think so.

Because he is a proud person, even though he has been down and down, he has never changed this.From his point of view, his current power status is naturally due to Anthony.But your own hard work is also essential.Anthony just provided an opportunity. Being able to seize the opportunity, achieve success, and manage the current situation is also a manifestation of his ability!

But because of Anthony's help, and because of Anthony's profound influence, everyone took his success for granted.Whoever sits in his position can also be successful.

This is absolutely unbearable for Yang Haonian!

So when the Holy See found him, even though he was threatened on the surface, he had to obey.But deep down, it's not because of this kind of pride.

Only when Anthony died, would it be possible for him to get rid of his shadow and truly gain everyone's approval and approval.

"Boss, long time no see!"

Yang Haonian got the notice and waited in the room early.Anthony has just stepped over the threshold, and he has warmly greeted him.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, at least on the surface, he is still the little hooligan he was before.

When Anthony saw him, he couldn't help frowning, but soon relaxed, as if nothing had happened.

"Master Yang's current style is getting more and more powerful."

The so-called raising and moving body means living and moving qi.Yang Haonian has been in the top position for a long time, commanding orders, and gradually his temperament and personality have naturally undergone great changes.When I look at it now, although the eyes, nose and facial features are still the same as before, if I see the old knowledge, I am afraid that I will not dare to recognize it at the first time.

After Yang Haonian heard it, although he knew that Anthony was joking, he still bowed down and waved his hands repeatedly.

"The boss called me that, but he killed me. Without the help of the boss, there would be no such thing as Yang Haonian today, let alone Master Yang."

In the laughter and conversation between the two, there was a vague feeling of simplicity when they first met.At that time, the "Four Heroes of the Southern Union" such as the little gangster were still wandering around in the imperial capital, doing nothing.Anthony also arrived in the imperial capital for the first time, and no one knew him.

But in the blink of an eye, one was already a very well-known Yang Ye in the imperial capital.The other is the pillar of the glorious empire today, the great general of the empire who is crazily sought after by countless passionate youths.

While chatting and laughing, Anthony came to an elegant room under the guidance of Yang Haonian.The two sat down, but the tea set had already been set on the table.

Yang Haonian waved away all the servants, closed the door himself, and when he came back, his face was already solemn.

He asked Anthony to come over, of course not to drink tea and reminisce about the old days.And Anthony came alone, also not to chat and joke with him.

"Boss, you shouldn't have come back. The current imperial capital is very dangerous!"

As soon as Yang Haonian sat down, he didn't gossip, and got straight to the point.

Anthony frowned: "Why?"

Yang Haonian's face was gloomy, and he said: "Boss, do you still remember that when you led an army to go out, you were assassinated by a master. At that time, you recognized that the other party was a member of the Guangming Holy See, and you asked me to keep an eye on their whereabouts."

"Good." Anthony nodded.

Yang Haonian went on to say: "I have been operating in the underground world for some time, and I have a lot of eyes and ears. After careful inquiry, I have found some clues. I vaguely feel that there is a conspiracy here, a huge conspiracy against you, the boss. Conspiracy. It's just that the other party is also careful in acting, and my people have not been able to find out the key point."

Having said this, Yang Haonian suddenly slapped his head, laughing at himself angrily.

"Look at me, I even forgot to pour tea for the boss."

As he spoke, he picked up the delicate teapot and poured a cup of tea for Anthony and himself.

Anthony looked at his hand holding the teapot, dazed in a daze.

Yang Haonian laughed and said: "This is the top quality tea brought back from other places by the people below - of course, you know me, boss. I can't tell whether the tea is good or bad. But listen to what they say. , and let the boss taste it for you."

After finishing speaking, he raised his neck, not afraid of the hot water, and drank it in one gulp.

After finishing drinking, he showed Anthony the bottom of the glass to show that he drank it all in one gulp.It seems that he is not self-effacing, he really doesn't know how to taste tea, this posture is like drinking.

When Anthony saw it, he sighed inexplicably, and said softly: "Tea is good or bad, it's for drinking. Whether it's drinking tea or quenching thirst, it can be regarded as well used. In fact, there is no need to pay too much attention to it."

When Yang Haonian listened to him, he seemed to be pointing something, and also seemed to be narrating in a plain manner. He couldn't be sure at the moment, so he had to continue the previous topic.

"...It wasn't until recently that we inadvertently heard a big piece of news!"

When Yang Haonian said this, seeing Anthony reach out to pick up the teacup and was about to lean it to his lips, he couldn't help feeling tense.

Anthony's hand stopped, and the cup stopped in mid-air.

"what news?"

Yang Haonian's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Anthony had discovered something, but it turned out that he was nervous and stopped talking.

But at this moment, looking at the teacup hovering in mid-air, Yang Haonian suddenly felt an impulse to stop Anthony from drinking the cup of tea and confess everything to the boss.

I don't know where this idea came from, but it disappeared in a flash.

Yang Haonian knew that the momentary hesitation just now was the guilt he had hidden deep in his heart towards the boss.He is very clear that just a simple sentence is enough to decide a person's fate, life and death.

But he still didn't stop, but continued to talk, and watched Anthony finally drink the cup of tea carefully prepared for him with complicated emotions.

"It turns out that the Guangming Holy See has already regarded you as a heretic, the leader, and secretly dispatched experts to the imperial capital to lay a net, and then lure you back, besieging and killing you!"

Anthony put down the glass, it was empty.

"It's not surprising that the Holy See wants to deal with me. However, I led the army to fight abroad. There is no good reason, and it is not easy for me to come back. So they falsely spread the imperial decree, saying that His Majesty the King is seriously ill?"

Yang Haonian said: "It can't be said that the imperial decree was passed on falsely. According to the secret news from the palace, His Majesty the King has indeed not been in court for many days. The important officials of the empire have not seen His Majesty's face for a long time."

Anthony said coldly: "But no matter what, there should be no doubt that someone in the palace was involved in this matter. Can you find out who wants to deal with me?"

"Well, I can't penetrate into the palace temporarily with my ability, but I can't find it out."

Yang Haonian hesitated for a moment, then said again.

"Boss, on the side of the Holy See of Light, the number of people dispatched this time is very large, and the strength is even more frightening. There are more than ten gold-level powerhouses such as cardinals and cardinals in total, and even the Pope personally Come forward. There are also two teams of 'Sword of the God of Light' and 'Judgment'. Although the strength is slightly weaker, but the number is larger. So many people set up an ambush. Although you are powerful, the leader, I am afraid that you will not Easy to deal with."

Anthony sighed again, and said, "That's right, they've paid for it this time."

Suddenly the topic changed.

"People often say, 'When a person is about to die, his words are good'. Although I am the one who is about to die, I still want to hear from you: Why?"

Yang Haonian was startled suddenly, stood up abruptly, and took two steps back unconsciously.

"Boss, boss, I don't understand what you're talking about."

According to the time calculation, the poison in Anthony's body should start to take effect at this time.But seeing that his face was still calm, neither pain nor panic, Yang Haonian couldn't help but be puzzled.

"You said that these tea leaves were brought back from other places by the people below. I don't know if this foreign place is the Holy Empire? Or even the headquarters of the Holy See of Light? It is indeed very precious, but unfortunately it is a highly poisonous poison. But I am curious, you The cultivation method has such an obvious dark attribute, how could the Holy See of Light seek your cooperation? And don’t you worry that after they deal with me, they will kill you with their backhand?”

"You, you, you haven't been poisoned?!" Yang Haonian was finally sure at this moment that Anthony was not trying to be calm, but that he was really fine.

If Anthony hadn't been poisoned to death, then he would have died!
