Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 107 The Truth
Leng Qing returned to the strategic conference room and noticed that the debate had stopped. He spoke directly, "Everyone, I have sufficient evidence. This plague is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the conference hall was instantly shocked.

"Now that everyone is here, just publish the information you have investigated." Councillor Zhu Meng looked at Leng Qing seriously and said.

"We already knew that the Western Fortress's guards suddenly contracted the plague because they used the blood that was previously transported by the Mingkuo Military. Analysis of that blood revealed that it contained the diseased blood of the Lingzhua Plague Rats."

Before Leng Qing could finish his words, he was interrupted by an old man with a goatee, "Let's put the plague aside for now. Our most important thing now is to discuss how to fight the White Demon Eagle."

Seeing Councillor Luo Mian take the initiative to jump out, Leng Qing couldn't help but sneer and continued, "The reason why the White Devil Eagles came out in full force this time is also because of this plague."

"The White Demon Eagle's favorite delicacy is the Lingzhua Plague Rat, because they can transform the diseased blood in the Lingzhua Plague Rat into blood that enhances their own strength."

"And those infected with the plague are no different from Lingzhua Plague Rats in the eyes of the White Magic Eagles. They regard them as delicious food to enhance their strength. This is the reason why the White Magic Eagles are desperate to come out in full force."

Leng Qing's deafening voice reached the ears of everyone present.

Even Councillor Zhu Meng, who had remained impassive, finally showed a look of astonishment on his face. He asked in disbelief, "So this is the truth about the plague."

Councillor Luo Mian, standing nearby, spoke indignantly once again, "I was wondering why Judge Wang would suddenly commit suicide at this time. It seems he knew his actions had been exposed. I remember his wife was the person in charge of overseeing blood production!!"

At this moment, Luo Mian had an attitude of sitting on the Diaoyutai. In his opinion, the matter was over after the chief judge Wang committed suicide out of fear of punishment. There was no way that he would be involved in it anymore. After all, he was a member of parliament, and the power of a member of parliament was greater than that of the chief judge.

No one at the scene could control him except Zhu Meng from the Forbidden City.

But Zhu Meng was no fool. He seemed to have noticed something at this moment. He stared at Luo Mian and said coldly, "Luo Mian, you seem to be hiding a lot of things from me."

"Senator Zhu Meng, this matter does need to be investigated, but let's first discuss how to deal with the invasion of the White Magic Eagle Legion." Luo Mian replied with a forced smile.

At this time, Yun Feng, the military commander of the Western Fortress, also nodded and said, "According to predictions, the White Devil Eagle Legion will reach us again within two hours, and our defense line can only hold out for three hours at most. This means we don't have much time left. If we can't find a solution, Hangzhou will fall tonight."

"That's right." Seeing someone trying to change the subject, Luo Mian quickly spoke out in support, fearing that someone would bring up the matter of the blood medicine again.

But Leng Qing spoke again at this time.

"Since the White Magic Eagle Legion is attacking the West Fortress recklessly because of the plague, we just need to solve the plague problem. When the White Magic Eagle Legion loses their target, the problem will be solved."

"Have you found a solution?" Luo Mian stared at Leng Qing with a gloomy look.

"That's right!" Leng Qing didn't even look at Luo Mian and directly said the answer loudly.

"According to several days of follow-up investigation by a master hunter from the Qingtian Hunting Institute, we have learned that there is a special herb called Eagle Red Grass in Xiling that can perfectly and quickly dispel the plague."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was focused on Leng Qing again. Councillor Zhu Meng asked urgently, "Are you serious?" "Absolutely true." Leng Qing nodded.

"What a joke! Let's not even talk about whether the herb you mentioned is really effective against the plague. Just the place where it grows, Xiling, is a place where no one can easily set foot in right now. Do you think that at this critical moment, we should send experts or an entire army into Xiling to do such an unfounded thing?!" Luo Mian objected vehemently.

Although he didn't know whether the eagle red grass that Leng Qing mentioned could really cure the plague, he would not allow such a thing to happen as long as there was even the slightest chance of a cure.

At the same time, Luo Mian looked at Leng Qing with a very unhappy look, even a little fierce. He didn't understand why Leng Qing kept holding on to this matter.

He had clearly blamed everything on the scapegoat, so the case should have ended there.

After hearing what Luo Mian said, everyone at the scene couldn't help but frown. It's not that they didn't believe what Leng Qing said, but the location where the eagle red grass grew was really too confusing.

"I'm sorry to disappoint Councillor Luo Mian. The master hunter from Qingtian Hunting Station has already sneaked into Xiling to look for Eagle Red Grass not long ago. I believe they will be able to collect it back soon. We just need to wait for a while." Leng Qing glanced at Luo Mian, who seemed to be gloating, and then spoke to everyone with a serious face.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, in that case, I'll wait for him for a while." Zhu Meng laughed out loud in surprise.

After all, he has always advocated the hidden danger strategy, and the starting point of this proposal is to better protect ordinary people living in the city.

Although Luo Mian was a little uneasy at the moment, since Zhu Meng had spoken, he didn't say anything more.

Now he could only hope that the hunter master Leng Qing mentioned would fail in his mission and fail to find the Eagle Red Grass. If that happened, he would then propose to charge him with a serious crime by delaying the battle and using false information to fool the top leaders.

"Since the plague has been confirmed to have nothing to do with the totem black snake, could you please order the release of the black snake as soon as possible?" The presiding judge Tang Zhong suddenly asked Zhu Meng.

Zhu Meng thought for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, let it go."

the other side.

The nine huge lightning halberds in the West Lake still firmly suppressed the totem black snake.

On the shore, Mo Fan stayed with Tang Yue, who was already in tears, and remained guarding here.

Originally, he wanted to make a contribution, but later he learned from Leng Qing that Su Chi had also come to Hangzhou and was accompanying Lingling for an in-depth investigation. So he stayed here with Tang Yue. After all, this was the time when Tang Yue needed company the most, and Leng Qing didn't need his help.

Mo Fan didn't know what to do for a moment, so he just stayed here and didn't leave.

Suddenly, Mo Fan noticed that the nine lightning spears were slowly dissipating. He excitedly shook Tang Yue, who was still looking down in tears, and said, "Teacher Tang Yue, the formation seems to have disappeared!"

After hearing Mo Fan's words, Tang Yue first raised her head with a confused look on her face. Then, after seeing that the lightning formation had really disappeared, she instantly became excited and couldn't believe it.
