Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 123 The Third Red Pill

Gu Shushi was arrested and tortured directly after being put in prison.

About an hour later, the new list came out again.

What follows is arresting people, interrogating them, and then arresting them again.

A large number of Sushen spies and people who colluded with the Sushen people were arrested and brought to justice.

Among them are many people from the Investigation Bureau.

But what surprised Chu Danqing was that Li Wanwu was not involved.

The transactions in the ghost market were from the previous Emperor Taichang. Li Wanwu was doing the dirty work, which involved the Sushen side to some extent.

This time, he took the initiative to contact the Lama in order to find out the smuggling route of the Qiutan Party.

Li Wanwu didn't find it, but Chu Danqing found it first.

This smuggling route is the business of the Qiutan Party. Now that it has been caught by Chu Danqing, it has naturally been exposed clearly.

What remains are matters such as confiscation of property, exile, beheading, etc.

It will take another five days to finish all this.

The dust settled, and Chu Danqing's trial mission was completed.

[Mission Completed, You Gain: Paradise Points x 5000, Attribute Points +3]

The difficulty of level B lies in how to gain enough power to clean up these people. Once you do that, the rest is not difficult.

Chu Danqing had the merit of saving the emperor and following the emperor, and with the help of Xiong Zhigang and Wang Qi, he was in charge of the imperial guards.

He has soldiers, power and justice, but if he still fails, he should have no chance of survival.

But there was still one thing he didn't understand, which was what was going on with Li Wanwu?
But when he looked at the task again, he realized what was happening.

The mission is to kill the Sushen spies in the upper echelons and destroy the Sushen spy hideouts.

Li Wanwu did not meet any of the requirements, so this was judged to be completed.

If we add the word "collusion", then Li Wanwu would probably be on the list.

At this point, the trial mission is over, and the remaining time is left to Chu Danqing to perform on his own.

As for Li Wanwu, Chu Danqing wants to find an opportunity to kill him and replace him with a more human-like admiral to manage the investigation factory.

Good people definitely can’t do this job.

He was waiting for the court to stabilize before he began to clean up the Taichang bandits.

It's not a good time to take action now.

It was not until three days later that Emperor Taichang summoned him to meet him.

Li Wanwu stood beside Emperor Taichang with a humble look.

"Lord Chu, you're here." Emperor Taichang showed a rare smile on his face and handed a memorial to Li Wanwu: "Show Lord Chu this great victory."

Li Wanwu did not show any dissatisfaction or resentment, and his expression remained the same as he did what he was told.

Chu Danqing read it through and the gist of it was that Xiong Zhigang defeated the 50,000-strong Sushen army.

The external threat was temporarily resolved, and the internal troubles in the court were completely dealt with because of Chu Danqing's violent elimination.

Now that a large number of positions were vacant, Emperor Taichang promoted a large number of his own people. Not only was power more concentrated, but there were also no obstacles to the implementation of new policies.

It was a double blessing at the same time.

The last time he was so happy was when Emperor Taichang's father, who was very capable of living, died.

"Your Majesty is still a good leader." Chu Danqing complimented. He knew that Xiong Zhigang was capable, but he couldn't say it directly.

After saying that, Chu Danqing wanted to talk about the issue of suppressing bandits.

Now that I'm here, I might as well take advantage of Emperor Taichang's good mood to seize power.

But before he could open his mouth, a eunuch came hurriedly and whispered something.

The joy on Emperor Taichang's face became even more intense.

"Gu Shushi's son, Gu Pin, found the third elixir of immortality left by the late emperor, called Immortality."

"I am willing to exchange this medicine for the safety of my family." Emperor Taichang said.

Li Wanwu immediately responded, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! May you be immortal, ageless, and undying, and may you be the eternal emperor of the world!"

"Your Majesty, we must be on guard against the medicine offered by the son of a traitor." Chu Danqing glanced at Li Wanwu.

The third red pill? Isn't that the poison left by the previous Emperor Taichang in the Imperial Hospital?

Li Wanwu is going to kill Emperor Taichang.

"My dear Minister Chu, what you said makes sense. Let someone present it to me first so that I can take a look." Emperor Taichang felt that what Chu Danqing said made sense, but Li Wanwu's "Eternal Emperor" was more attractive.

Gu Pin was brought up. He looked at Chu Danqing with hatred in his eyes, and then presented him with an exquisite brocade bag.

Then he knelt down without saying a word.

Emperor Taichang ignored the other party and hurriedly took out the brocade bag and opened it.

Sure enough, it was another red pill, and both its appearance and smell were exactly the same as the previous ones.

Chu Danqing really didn't expect that Li Wanwu wanted to kill Emperor Taichang at this critical juncture. What was his purpose?
It couldn't be that he realized that I was going to kill him, so he took the initiative?
Or do you want to further expand your advantage?

"Where did you get this elixir?" Emperor Taichang asked.

"Your Majesty, I stole these from the Imperial Hospital," Gu Pin said immediately, "My father told me there are three pills: immortality, youth, and death."

"Among them, the immortality and immortality were placed together and were obtained by the Sushen people. They were later intercepted by Lord Chu and presented to Your Majesty."

"Only one pill of immortality was left and hidden in a secret place, and was found by this humble official." Gu Pin explained the origin of the pill.

Chu Danqing could be sure that this was definitely ordered by Li Wanwu.

What Gu Pin said was all made up by Chu Danqing, but you continued to fabricate lies based on his fabricated ones.

Emperor Taichang believed it, mainly because the sensory effects of the two pills Chu Danqing had given him were very real.

Combined with psychological factors, he always believed that he was immortal. "If the late emperor was immortal, how could he die at the hands of an assassin?" Chu Danqing raised the blind spot.

There is another key question in this statement, that is, if the three pills are so precious, why didn't the previous Emperor Taichang eat them himself but had to hide them in the Imperial Hospital?
Who doesn’t want to be the emperor of all ages?

As soon as the words came out, Emperor Taichang reacted immediately.

Even if one is immortal, he can still die. This can explain why the previous Emperor Taichang took it, but how can you die if you are not dead?
A single word awakened the dreamer, and Emperor Taichang's sanity, which had been obscured by the words "eternal emperor", gradually recovered, and he re-examined Gu Pin.

"I don't know." Gu Pin had no way of explaining this loophole, so he just lowered his head and said, "Whether you believe it or not is up to your Majesty."

After saying this, Gu Pin stopped talking.

Emperor Taichang just felt conflicted.

Eat it, I’m afraid it’s a scam.

If you don’t eat it, you’ll lose out.

The temptation of immortality made his heart itch.

"My dear Minister Chu, you once sent me the pills of immortality and youthfulness. What do you think of this pill of immortality?" Emperor Taichang looked at Chu Danqing.

In his opinion, apart from himself, only Chu Danqing had contact with the elixir of immortality.

"It's poisonous." Chu Danqing said bluntly.

"Oh? Could it be that Lord Chu knows something?" Li Wanwu took the opportunity to attack.

Chu Danqing shook his head: "No, I simply don't believe that the son of a traitor would be so kind."

"Not to mention that his family is almost dead, and everyone here is his enemy."

Emperor Taichang swallowed his saliva and his eyes fell on Gu Pin.

"I dare not. Rain, dew, and thunder are all grace from the emperor." Gu Pin said immediately: "My Gu family has suffered such a great disaster. It is what we deserve."

Emperor Taichang rubbed his temples, greed and reason constantly intertwined in his mind.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Put Gu Pin in jail for now. Lord Chu, you should also withdraw first. Let me think about it carefully."

Chu Danqing didn't hesitate and turned around and left. Good words could not persuade a damned ghost.

Emperor Taichang had to be rescued by physical means.

The death of Emperor Taichang would plunge the capital and even the Taichang Dynasty into greater chaos, and in the end, ordinary people would suffer.

If the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace, Chu Danqing doesn't care whether Emperor Taichang lives or dies.

Chu Danqing only thought of himself as a paperhanger, a position that was too high and required too much consideration.

He can't save the world, he can only try his best to make ordinary people live a better life. No matter how much more he does, he can't do anything.

Then, by the way, he went to kill Li Wanwu at night and let him live for two more days so that he would do bad things to him.

Seeing Chu Danqing leave, Li Wanwu's mouth curled up slightly.

Things finally did not deviate from his plan, but they did not meet his expectations.

Xiong Zhigang's victory report disrupted his plans, and Chu Danqing shouldn't have come.

Without Chu Danqing, Emperor Taichang would have already taken the red pill.

Fortunately, Li Wanwu had a follow-up plan, and he also had the support of the concubines in the harem, so he didn't have to worry about Emperor Taichang being fooled.

Li Wanwu naturally knew what the red pill was. It had been in his hands for such a long time that he already knew it was a highly poisonous substance.

Otherwise, why would he offer his services to Emperor Taichang?

If it really was an elixir of immortality, he would have eaten it himself. Why would he leave it to Emperor Taichang?

After Chu Danqing left, he directly summoned the human demon and asked him to steal the red pill.

The plan is that simple and crude.

There is no need to worry about Li Wanwu finding someone else to donate another one.

With these incidents appearing one after another, Emperor Taichang would become suspicious.

About seven minutes later, there was chaos in the palace.

The black shadow transformed from the human demon jumped out and placed a red pill in Chu Danqing's hand, once again leading the enemy away.

"Lord Chu, did you see the fleeing assassin just now?" Li Wanwu chased out and asked.

Just when he was about to return to the harem, someone suddenly jumped out, snatched the red pill from Emperor Taichang's hand and ran away.

He chased after him immediately and locked on Chu Danqing as the suspect.

"No." Chu Danqing replied calmly: "What did Admiral Li want to say?"

"Commander Chu, you have failed in your duty." Li Wanwu chuckled, but did not continue to entangle with Chu Danqing. He turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Chu Danqing was confused. Could it be that they were planning to use dereliction of duty as an excuse to target him?
"What can you do without the red pill?" Chu Danqing thought to himself, and the properties of the red pill appeared before his eyes.

【Longevity Blood Pill】

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect 1: Lifespan +10 years]

[Effect 2: Causes 100 health points of damage per second for ten minutes]

(Note: The higher the physical attribute, the lower the efficacy of the medicine)

It is impossible to achieve immortality, but it is certainly possible to prolong one's life.

The prerequisite is that you have to hold on, otherwise you will die first.

It can only be said to be useless, with limited effect and it is difficult to prolong life when taking it when the physical condition is too high.

It needs to be supplemented with other recovery medicines or skills.
