Thinks of this, Gao Ying forces to be calm, first said to the personal maidservant: „Quick, passes on the imperial physician quickly!” 高颖太清楚,倘若张仪在四方馆中毒身亡,对大隋将是怎样一个灾难。想到这,高颖强制镇定下来,先对身边人说道:“快,快传太医！” Treats and cures Zhang Yi, is the urgent matter. 救治张仪,才是当务之急。 „But whatever happens|10 million cannot die.” Gao Ying within heart pray. “可千万不能死了。”高颖心中祈祷。 Has been near, Imperial Army that the Gao Ying hedge comes in said: „Immediately blocks Four Directions Embassy, anybody can not come and go out.

Other diplomatic envoy member saw Gao Ying, casts the vision that is hostile toward in abundance. 安排妥当紧要之事,高颖这才朝张仪走去,五十岁的人,走起路来却如疾风一般。使节团其他成员见了高颖,纷纷投来仇视的目光。 Zhang Yi does not dare to believe looked at Gao Ying one, said difficultly: „You, you unexpectedly, intoxicate......” 张仪不敢置信地看了高颖一眼,艰难说道:“你,你们竟然,下毒……” Gao Ying said sincerely: „We not poison expensively to cause it heart certainly, the imperial physician immediately.” At this moment, Gao Ying is actually unsuitable to make many arguments, he believes that Zhang Yi is a smart person. 高颖诚恳说道:“我们绝无毒害贵使之心,太医马上就到。”此时此刻,高颖却是不便做过多的辩解,他相信张仪是聪明人。 Said are more, more easily was misunderstood. 说的越多,越容易被误解。 „Sir ate the ginseng soup to be poisoned obviously, do you also dare to quibble?” The diplomatic envoy member indignation, did not point at the Gao Ying nose to scold on the difference. “大人明明是喝了参汤才中毒的,你们还敢狡辩？”使节团成员不忿,就差指着高颖鼻子开骂了。 Gao Ying unemotionally, but looks at Zhang Yi. Several minutes pass by, the Zhang Yi complexion became dark faintly, is the poison is obviously great. Gao Ying saw, within heart worried. 高颖面无表情,只是看着张仪。几分钟过去,张仪脸色已是隐隐发黑,显是中毒不浅。高颖见了,心中更是捏了一把汗。 Zhang Yi deeply looked at Gao Ying one, he is unable to conclude for a while that present Great Sui High Official makes is acting in a play, said is the truth. 张仪深深看了高颖一眼,他一时也无法断定,眼前的大隋尚书令到底是在演戏,还是说的是实话。 No matter how, Zhang Yi knows cannot confuse own situations at this time, suppresses is being ill, said to Imperial Guard that other diplomatic envoy member as well as clash: „First, goes to the room first, no, can not act rashly.” 不管如何,张仪知晓此时不能自乱阵脚,强忍着身体不适,对使节团其他成员以及冲进来的禁卫说道:“先,先回房间,不,不得妄动。” „Yes!” “是！” Zhang Yi is the pillar of diplomatic envoy, his order nobody dares to disobey. 张仪是使节团的主心骨,他的命令没人敢违逆。 Leans slightly, Zhang Yi was shifted to the room, lies on the bed, Gao Ying was blocked beside the door. 稍倾,张仪就被转移至房间,躺在床上,高颖则被拦在房门之外。 In the room, Cui Tianqi has been waiting, the facial expression is ashamed. 房中,崔天奇已经候着,神情羞愧。 Zhang Yi knows present youngster is the Your Kingship genuine trusted friend, is suppressing ill, said: „This enemy intoxicates, virtually impossible to guard against, does not close your matters.” 张仪知晓眼前的少年是王上真正心腹,强忍着不适,道:“此次敌人下毒,防不胜防,不关你们之事。” „Sir, how wants us to do?” Cui Tianqi asked. “大人,要我们怎么做？”崔天奇问。 „Performs, feeds in Royal City the news as soon as possible.” Zhang Yi this is preparing for the worst. “尽,尽快将消息传回王城。”张仪这是在做最坏的打算。 „Yes!” “明白！” Cui Tianqi makes an effort to nod, does not know how to do, one vanishes in the room. 崔天奇用力点了点头,也不知怎么做的,一下就消失在房中。 „You, get down, the imperial physician came to say again.” Zhang Yi scattered other diplomatic envoy member, the complexion more became dark, „remembered, before the matter has not made clear, certain, certainly cannot have the conflict with Great Sui.” “你们,都下去吧,太医来了再说。”张仪驱散使节团其他成员,脸色越发黑了,“记住,在事情没搞清楚之前,一定,一定不能跟大隋发生冲突。” This time Zhang Yi fully realizes the mission that goes abroad on a diplomatic mission shoulders, sees with own eyes Gao Ying to make the faction, Zhang Yi rather believes that is other people intoxicates. So, cannot impulse at this time, in order to avoid destroys the Your Kingship important matter. 张仪深知此番出使身上肩负的使命,眼见高颖做派,张仪宁愿相信是他人下毒。正是如此,此时更不能冲动,以免破坏王上大事。 His Zhang Yi life matter is small, the Your Kingship hegemony matter is big. 他张仪性命事小,王上霸业事大。 „Yes!” “是！” Other diplomatic envoy member saw, can only , but asks to be excused. 使节团其他成员见了,只能无奈告退。 Shortly, the room on alone remaining Zhang Yi one people, lies on the bed alone. No one has noted, in the Zhang Yi hand has been gripping a small porcelain insulator. 顷刻之间,房间就独剩下张仪一人,孤零零地躺在床上。谁也没有注意到,张仪手中一直攥着一个小瓷瓶。
