After the chicken was brought, Sima Chaoqun dipped some wine from the wine jar and fed it into the chicken's mouth.
I saw that there was nothing strange about the chicken after drinking.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Sima Chaoqun also threw the chicken on the ground.
But after the chicken landed on the ground, he took a few steps forward, suddenly let out a whine, and then fell to the ground, with blood oozing from its eyes and beak.
“Oh, it’s really poisonous!”
“What a powerful poison, what a vicious poison!”
“What kind of poison is this and how can it be so powerful?”
“The chicken walked seven steps before dying. This is [Seven Steps of Broken Heart Powder].”
Everyone shouted one after another, and then glared at Xiang Nan, believing that he was the real culprit of the poison.
"Li Tanhua, what is your explanation for this matter?" Sima Chaoqun looked at Xiang Nandao.
Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh when he saw him asking this.
It's useless for him to say anything now. He said that he didn't go out just now and had been drinking with Guan Tianxiang. Guan Tianxiang would not testify for him.
He came over late at night and took me to drink. On the surface, he was talking about romance, but in fact, he was setting up a trap for himself and pushing himself into a pit.
It’s just a pity that I was not well-prepared and fell into other people’s schemes.
…
“Look, Lord, he is irrefutable.”
“Leader, he doesn’t even dare to defend himself, which shows that he did it.”
“Leader, I suspect that he is from the Flying Eagle Sect, and the reason why he came to participate in the martial arts conference is to cause trouble.”
“Let’s go together and kill him to eliminate harm to the people!”
Everyone shouted.
"Don't follow what others say. I dare to guarantee with my life that the person who poisoned me is definitely not Daxia Li." At this moment, Guan Tianxiang suddenly stood up and shouted.
“Who are you?”
“Where did this unknown person come from?”
“How dare you pledge your life? What is your life worth?”
Everyone shouted.
Guan Tianxiang is just a nobody in the world now, not worth mentioning at all, so what he says has no influence at all.
Xiang Nan couldn't help but be startled when he saw that Guan Tianxiang actually stood up to speak for himself. He thought Guan Tianxiang would stab him in the back. After all, this was a good opportunity to frame him, and there was no reason for him to miss it.
"Although Guan Tianxiang is just a nobody, he is also a seven-foot-tall man. He is worthy of the sky and the earth." Facing the angry people, Guan Tianxiang said loudly, "I and Li Tanhua have been talking about it since the banquet was over. While they were drinking and talking in the room, how could Li Tanhua escape and poison her?
From what I can see below, someone must have framed me. We must not blame good people wrongly. And the real murderer was let go. "
“You just drink when you say you want to drink. Who will believe you?”
"Who are you in the world? Why should we trust you?"
The heroes pointed at Guan Tianxiang and cursed.
"That's enough!!" Sima Chaoqun shouted, "Until the matter comes to light, let's stop blaming each other and making random suspicions. This will not only fail to find out the truth, but will also fall into other people's traps. Let me be slow on this matter. Investigate slowly and I will give you an explanation sooner or later. Okay, everyone, please go back first and don’t make any more noise."
Seeing what he said, everyone finally had to leave.
Only the leaders of Sima Chaoqun, Xiang Nan, Guan Tianxiang, the Seven Factions, the Eight Families, and the Nine Factions were left in the courtyard.
"Li Tanhua, you have to give us an explanation for this matter. Did you do the poisoning?" Sima Chaoqun asked Xiang Nandao.
"Of course not." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "If I really wanted to poison, with my alertness, how could I be seen, let alone caught up. This matter was framed from beginning to end. .”
"Xiao Li Feidao is an unparalleled chivalrous man. He has saved lives and injured countless people. How could he poison others? You can't just wrongfully accuse others." Guan Tianxiang also shouted.
“I also believe that Xiao Li Feidao will not commit such evil deeds.” Iron Sword Guo Songyang also stood up and said.
When he competed with Xiang Nan, Xiang Nan could have killed him, but he did not do so. From this point alone, he believed that Xiang Nan was definitely not a villain.
"Who said that Xiao Li can't use poison with flying knives?! Nineteen years ago, your life and death talisman killed countless people." Zhuo Bufan, the head of Kunlun, said.
“That’s right, the poison of the Life and Death Talisman has made many heroes miserable, and life is worse than death.” Master Kuyin, the head of Emei, also nodded.
“Donor Li, I hope you will not leave this courtyard for the time being.” Abbot Shaolin Xinhu also said.
"Why, does the abbot only regard me as a prisoner?" Xiang Nan asked.
“No, I just want to avoid some trouble.” Abbot Xinhu said, “If Donor Li doesn’t want to be suspected anymore, it’s best to follow Lao Monk’s advice.”
"Well, in that case, I will obey your orders for the time being." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "After the martial arts conference is over, I will leave Huashan on my own."
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
…
Subsequently, Sima Chaoqun ordered four Huashan disciples to wait outside the courtyard to ensure that Xiang Nan would not leave.
“Brother Li, this is completely slander.” After everyone left, Guan Tianxiang complained angrily to Xiang Nan.
“Brother Li, I absolutely believe in your character.” Guo Songyang also clasped his fists.
“Thank you both for your support.” Xiang Nan raised his hands and said.
He also knew that this was deliberately framed.
It’s just hard to say who is the framer, whether it is Guan Tianxiang’s Feiying Sect, Sima Chaoqun, Long Xiaoyun, or other sects or other figures.
After all, a big tree attracts the wind, and he has many enemies in the world who are trying to harm him.
"Brother Li, I really feel sorry for you. These martial arts people from the Central Plains are simply a bunch of people who only listen to what they believe. They are like a tiger and have no brains." Guan Tianxiang said again.
"Brother Guan, you don't have to be like this. You can't do everything you want, but you just want to be clear in your heart." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "I suddenly want to play chess. Who would like to talk with me about a game?"
"I have no other hobbies except swords, so I can't help you." Seeing Xiang Nan's request, Guo Songyang waved his hand.
He has practiced swords since he was a child, loves swords, and is addicted to swords as much as his life. Except for the sword, everything else is ignored. Therefore, I am not good at playing music, chess, calligraphy or painting.
“Since Brother Li is so enthusiastic, I will play a game of chess with you.” Guan Tianxiang said with a smile.
In addition to his powerful sword skills, he is also proficient in literature, military strategy, poetry, and poetry. He can be regarded as an all-rounder and a heroic figure.
"Then please accept Brother Guan," Xiang Nan said, cupping his hands.
The reason why he invited people to play chess was to find out the details of the Flying Eagle Gate. He hates the feeling of being kept in the dark, which will make him miss many opportunities.
For example, this martial arts competition was so turbulent and undercurrent that he was framed accidentally. This feeling of being fooled was very unpleasant, so he needed to learn the true strength and plan of the Flying Eagle Sect from Guan Tianxiang.
