Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 546

Because he really had no other way to go now, Huo Tingsheng was just waiting for a while to depose him as crown prince. If he didn't go all out and take a gamble, he was just waiting to be completely finished.

Huo Sizhen gritted his teeth and said, "Half the country isn't out of the question... After I sit on the throne, I'll give you half of Western Qi!"

Fu Shiyan smiled.

“Your Highness, please don’t joke around. The rules of ‘Naihe’ are that half is paid before the job is done and the other half is paid after the job is done. Your promise is useless. Besides, even if you could afford it, I can’t accept the mission right now.”

Huo Sizhen pressed on, unwilling to give up, "Why? With your and 'Naihe's' abilities, as long as we plan carefully, it's not like we have no chance!"

Fu Shiyan said, "If it were to be a king assassination, I would have to do it myself, but I'm poisoned and am practically a cripple now. It's unknown how long I can live. And the other assassins in 'Naihe' don't have that kind of strength yet."

During his previous encounter with Mo Zhonggui in Bei Yi, he was poisoned by Yu Chen, and there was no cure. He has been suffering from the torment of the poison ever since.

I searched for famous doctors and tried all sorts of methods, but none of them could cure the poison.

He is now relying entirely on his profound internal strength to suppress the poison and has managed to hold on until now.

I can't easily resort to violence, and my body is deteriorating due to the gradual erosion of the poison. I don't know how much longer I can hold on.

Huo Sizhen was surprised: "What kind of poison did you ingest?"

No wonder Fu Shi Yan looked much thinner than before, his complexion was also very bad, and there was a faint layer of black aura between his brows.

Fu Shiyan didn't hide anything from him: "Feather Poison, the kind that has no antidote."

Huo Sizhen had never heard of Yu Chen Poison, but when Fu Shiyan mentioned it, he remembered that he had heard of a formula from a young Gu master under his command a long time ago. It involved raising Gu with a large number of living people to fight poison with poison, which could suppress all kinds of strange and deadly poisons that were incurable in the world.

A flash of inspiration struck Huo Sizhen, and as if grasping at a lifeline, he immediately said, "I have a way to deal with the poison you've been given!"

Fu Shiyan looked at him and continued excitedly, "I'll give you this prescription. If it can suppress the poison in you, you can accept my mission. Consider this prescription as half of my advance payment to you. It's practically your life. How about that? Isn't that valuable enough?"

Fu Shiyan pondered for a moment: "We can consider it."

He had no other choice. If Huo Sizhen truly had a way to deal with the Feather Poison he was afflicted with, it would indeed be equivalent to saving his life. In that case, killing the emperor for Huo Sizhen would be a worthwhile price to pay.

Huo Sizhen immediately wrote down the prescription and gave it to Fu Shiyan.

"I can get you the Gu worms here, but raising a batch of Gu worms requires at least ten living people every day. You'll have to find them yourself. I'm the Crown Prince, and I can't handle that many lives."

This formula uses living people to raise Gu worms. A large number of highly poisonous, flesh-eating Gu worms need to eat ten adults every day to raise a batch of adult worms within three days. Then, the Gu worms are used to make medicine, using poison to fight poison.

Huo Sizhen certainly couldn't raise Gu poison; only Fu Shiyan could do it himself. For an assassin organization, doing this kind of thing was incredibly easy.

Fu Shiyan took the prescription and glanced at it.

Huo Sizhen wasn't worried that the man would take the formula and then turn his back on him. "Naihe" was extremely trustworthy; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to develop into the largest assassin organization spanning several countries.

Fu Shiyan finally agreed: "Alright, if it really works, I'll accept your mission."
