Chapter 662 Conspiracy
The master has always been calm, if it weren't for something very strange happening, he would never leave his room, that is to say, the master may have encountered something strange during the time when Pingtou left? By the way, there is something very strange, let me tell you first, about a few months ago, I once saw the little junior brother talking with a black shadow one night, because it was too dark that night, I really couldn't see who the man in black in the shadows was, but looking at the little junior brother's appearance towards him, it seemed to be very respectful, but I was sure that person was definitely not the city lord!"
Pingtou's heart moved, Little Brother Zhang, it seems that all the doubts are focused on this little boy.
If the real culprit is him, then in this mansion, there is a mysterious person with whom he is involved.
And there is still some kind of relationship between this person and Zhang Xiaodi, Pingtou stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers: "Where are you, did you find you when you saw two people?" Huangfu Songtao squirmed on the ground, with a dejected expression, just in a corridor in the backyard, and not everyone can enter the corridor in the backyard.
This man must have had a great reputation and high status in the mansion, and that day I saw that the two men were plotting something, so I hid in the back of the hallway, ready to eavesdrop.
As soon as I heard the two sentences, I was discovered by the two of them, I quickly turned my head and ran, I guess the little junior brother should know, I eavesdropped on their conversation! At this time, Pingtou suddenly became clear, and he also understood why so many strange things happened to Huangfu Songtao during this time.
As he said, he was originally strong, and he didn't necessarily get sick for more than ten years, but he was so sick at this time that he couldn't get out of bed, which was a bit abnormal.
"I seem to understand a little, it must be your careless encounter that made the other party aware of your existence, in their opinion, you have mastered some of their secrets, so they must find a way to get rid of you......" Pingtou's voice became deeper and deeper, making Huangfu Songtao behind Tielong feel that his heart sank a little bit, indeed he should have thought that this matter had something to do with Brother Zhang, he just couldn't believe that such a teenager could actually kill him.
"But when I look back on what has happened in the intervening years, I don't feel anything strange if it had been a trap from the beginning.
I don't know how the other party made me seriously ill, I don't know......" Pingtou stretched out a finger and asked: "Can you squirm over, stretch out your hand, and let me take a pulse?" Pingtou also has a deep study of medicine under the master's teaching, and he can at least verify whether the other party is really sick or has other tricks through some means.
This is a little difficult for the emperor, his whole person is tied like a zongzi, and when he squirms, he looks like an earthworm without hands and feet.
The whole person's body is quite bewitching, and at this time the eldest lady next to him laughed.
Originally, the second senior brother was still burly and tall in his mind, but as a result, the tall image of Huangfu Songtao in the eldest lady's mind collapsed.
But Huangfu Songtao knew that in this situation, if anyone was willing to believe that he could still save himself from the dire situation, it was only the young man called Pingtou in front of him.
Huangfu Songtao seemed to go around the iron gate, and put his whole body on his back one by one, so that he would expose his hands outside the iron gate.
Pingtou stretched out his hand to catch the pulse of Huangfu Songtao, and in this case, it was true that there were two strokes of the pulse, and Wanting suddenly found that Pingtou was more powerful than he imagined.
"You can actually take the pulse, then can you take the pulse for me when you are fine, I have been feeling a little unwell recently......" Pingtou smiled bitterly in his heart, when is it, this eldest lady is still thinking about those messy things.
He put all his attention on Huangfu Songtao's wrist, and he found that the pulse of Huangfu Songtao's wrist was beating at a very strange frequency at this time, which was a strange appearance that he had not been exposed to before.
Obviously, the other party should have been poisoned! Pingtou withdrew his hand, stood up and sighed softly: "What I thought before was really right, Huangfu Songtao was really poisoned, and it was a poison that I had never seen before." ”
This kind of burden does not seem to have a huge impact on the life of the poisoner, but only makes his body's immunity greatly damaged for a short period of time.
Once his immunity is impaired, some small movements may be greatly affected, and colds like this are already commonplace for him.
Huangfu Songtao didn't understand the real reason for his illness until now, it turned out that someone poisoned him, and it was such a strange toxin, the strange thing is that Huangfu Songtao couldn't think of anyone in this mansion who was good at using this poison.
The eldest lady also frowned slightly: "It shouldn't be, except for one doctor in the entire mansion, everyone else doesn't understand pharmacology and doesn't understand toxicity, whether it's the third junior brother or Stulei, I haven't heard that they are good at using poisonous medicine, where did such a strange poisonous medicine come from?"
It's to hide your identity in order to strike a fatal blow at the end.
In Pingtou's opinion, the identity of Zhang Xiaodi's orphan is originally suspicious, and many people know that Zhang Xiaodi is an orphan without a father and mother.
It was the city lord who picked him up personally, and no one really knew whether this child was suitable for identity before he picked it up.
"Don't worry, these things will be left to us to inquire, you can't leave here in a short time, otherwise it will be easy to startle the snake, and one more thing is that you must protect yourself here......" Pingtou's meaning is very clear, this matter is beyond his ability, if someone really wants to kill him during this time, he will attack Huangfu Songtao.
I'm afraid he can't help it, speaking of this, the second senior brother's face has turned pale, he quickly bit the rags on the ground, and tuck it back into his mouth, no matter what, he must save his life during this time! After many inquiries, Pingtou took the eldest lady and left the dungeon through the secret passage of the back door, the fresh air of the respiratory tract, Pingtou found that the whole dungeon was not just cold and damp.
If you stay in it for a long time, you will feel that the sweat and pores are really cold.
He sighed softly and patted Wanting's shoulder, don't look sad, I'm afraid things are not as bad as you imagined.
"There are two things we need to do now, one is to track down your little brother Zhang, whose background is a mystery, if his background is really difficult to trace, then find a way to inquire about his whereabouts in the past few days. ”
Chapter 36 Identity is a mystery, but my third junior brother has been in retreat with my father, and this whereabouts is known to everyone, and no one will prove it.
Pingtou touched his chin: "Then how can your father prove it? You are your father's daughter, during his retreat, you go to say goodbye to him, or it is not too much to say a word, he will never retreat until his own daughter is gone, right?" At this time, Wanting's face became a little ugly, and Pingtou could see that the relationship between Wanting and his father was not as harmonious as he imagined.
"I'll tell you the truth, in fact, before my father's retreat, I had a big fight with him, I said the desire in my heart, I want to see the outside world, my father is not allowed to say that it is too dangerous, I don't want to go anywhere until he comes out of retreat, so I have a big fight with him, and I haven't seen him again, he is busy with retreat, I'm just angry, the two of us haven't seen each other again for about two months......" Pingtou's heart moved, and a very bad thought suddenly arose in his heart.
He didn't know what the character of the lord was, but he could vaguely draw such a conclusion from the mouths of other people.
The lord seemed to be more loving and kind than he had imagined, and it was clear that he had doted on his daughter too much.
This also proves that Wanting is very important to him, and if he makes such a big disturbance before the retreat, he will definitely not devote himself to training, and will definitely find a way to reconcile with her.
But why hasn't there been any movement for two months? Could it be that something has happened to the city lord? The more he thought about this, the more cold his back became, but he didn't dare to say this idea to Wan Ting.
He was afraid that Wanting's nerves were too fragile to accept such a fact at all, so he reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Where exactly is your father practicing retreat, can you take me to meet him, I know this request is very presumptuous, but I don't think you should mind, right?" At this time, the eldest lady's face showed a very embarrassed expression, of course she minded.
Cultivators know that retreat is a very important thing, and during the retreat, their strength will increase exponentially, at the cost of never seeing anyone during this time.
Otherwise, the cultivation qi accumulated in the dantian will be dissipated, resulting in a half-effort result.
"I don't think it's better to trouble my father about this matter, I'm not talking to you tsundere, to be honest, two months have passed, my mood has calmed down, we are just a simple quarrel between father and daughter, and we don't hold grudges in the past. ”
Pingtou sighed in his heart, it was obvious that Wanting had misunderstood his thoughts, if Pingtou had been hiding his thoughts, it might not be so easy to meet the city lord.
