Chapter Ninety-Nine: Entering the House
After eating dinner the next afternoon, Xu Yi went to observe the nine-line golden silk grass again, and was pleased to find that it had grown two centimeters taller, so he stretched out a finger to poke it routinely every day.
Although the nine-line grass has a very miraculous effect, it is also poisonous, the most toxic place is its leaves, not only the leaves, but also the roots and stems are poisonous, and only its flowers can be used for medicine.
"If you grow one centimeter taller, you should have small flower bones. ”
Xu Yi smiled and clicked the nine-threaded grass a few more times, looking forward to its blooming appearance.
The flowers of the poked nine-thread grass are not only non-toxic, but also can save people, a small flower, the color is beautiful golden, whenever the nine-thread grass blooms, the nine gold filaments on the back of the leaf will hide the shape, as if it was sucked into the flower, and so on after the nine-thread flower is picked off and used, the gold filaments on the leaves will appear in the original position again.
This kind of miraculous phenomenon is still known only to doctors above the level of medicine king, and no one else has heard of it, or even heard of it. Xu Yi also learned about this strange herb when he was flipping through it in his memory.
After playing with the blades of grass for a while, the three of Xiao Jiang who went out for a stroll have not come back, and Xu Yi didn't care about it at the beginning, just thinking that they had forgotten the time. Until the doorbell rang suddenly, Xu Yi's face couldn't help but quickly turn cold.
Xiao Jiang and the three of them have keys, and they don't need to ring the doorbell, so who is the person who rings the doorbell outside the door, you can know who it is just by thinking about it.
"Mr. Xu, I'm here to disturb you again. ”
After the door opened, Secretary Zhu was still respectful and polite, followed by a new bodyguard group, which was more useful than the previous batch.
"Get out. Xu Yi said unceremoniously that he was really tired of this kind of villain.
"I think it's better for Mr. Xu to come with me. ”
Secretary Zhu smiled meaningfully in the face of Xu Yi's disgust, slapped his right hand twice in the palm of his left hand, and two bodyguards came out behind him, these two people were holding Xiao Jiang with his head hanging in their hands, looking at his limbs weak and his head hanging down waiting for me, obviously falling into a coma.
"Mr. Jiang Wu passed out in an accident on the street, and we kindly helped him back. ”
"A warning, don't overdo it. ”
The three of them went out together, but only Xiao Jiang "came back", Xu Yi looked at Secretary Zhu with calm eyes, worried about the safety of Da Jiang and Xiao Qian.
In order to express their gratitude, Mr. Jiang Wen and Mr. Qian Ming have personally "visited" our big boss. ”
There was a threat in the other party's words, but Xu Yi laughed angrily when he heard it, and snorted and stopped talking.
"Mr. Xu, please. Secretary Zhu politely bent down to invite, but under the gentleman's actions, it was an ugly soul, just a superficial etiquette.
"Grass belt. ”
Xu Yi's voice was cold, and his expression was full of impatience.
If Xiao Jiang is fine, if there is any irreversible damage, he will first restrain the Secretary Zhu in front of him, and let the other party taste what it means to be unable to survive and to die.
Secretary Zhu, who followed Xu Yi, had a smile on his face that everything was under control. What he is most unaccustomed to is these warriors who only know how to solve things by force, with impulsive brains, courage and no strategy, and they can play tricks with just a little tricks.
Turning his head to the bodyguard holding the flower pot next to him, he ordered, "Give me the flower pot." ”
In order to get ahead, Secretary Zhu did everything he could to study in order to please the big boss, as long as the other party wanted something, even if it was just a little intention, Secretary Zhu would do everything to get the things over and send them to the big boss in person.
Carefully holding the flower pot, this grass that looks ordinary no matter how you look at it, but it is related to his upward space, no wonder Secretary Zhu will "snatch" it from the arms of the bodyguard regardless of the image.
Got into the other party's car empty-handed, Xu Yi began to close his eyes and recuperate after getting in the car, suppressing the violence in his heart, if he allowed this anger to grow, Xu Yi was likely to be unable to help but do something impulsive.
"Mr. Xu......!"
Secretary Zhu sat next to Xu Yi, smiling and wanting to say the winner's declaration, but was frightened by Xu Yi, who suddenly opened his eyes, and closed his mouth.
Xu Yi's eyes were not gloomy, but very calm, but this calm was extremely frightening. Like a whirlpool lurking beneath the surface of the calm sea, it seems to be calm, but in fact it hides the danger of swallowing up a giant ship, dragging everything into the deep depths of the sea.
Trembling involuntarily, Secretary Zhu suddenly felt as if he had miscalculated one thing, that is, Xu Yi was not an unarmed Chinese medicine doctor.
On the contrary, Xu Yi is even more ferocious than the people in the martial arts world, and with just one look, he can make people's souls die, like herbivores about to be torn to pieces by wild beasts.
"Stop!"
Finally finding his voice, Secretary Zhu hurriedly grabbed the door handle in his heart and asked the driver to stop the car and transfer to another car. This time he was no longer pretending to be flustered, but a real fear, afraid that his life would be at risk.
"Hmph. ”
Xu Yi closed his eyes again, blocking out the cacophony of sounds.
This kind of insidious villain is not worth the effort, he needs to face the mysterious big boss.
The car walked for a while, and then arrived in front of the house, when Xiao Jiang rented a house, they chose to rent a place close to it, and it was only a few minutes' walk from the noble house.
"Please. ”
Secretary Zhu couldn't hold back a smile on his face, and he felt very embarrassed by Xu Yi's frightened thing just now.
Xu Yi glanced at him, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for the other party to walk ahead and lead the way. He was not familiar with this place, and he seemed weak when he asked, so Xu Yi treated Secretary Zhu like a servant in the house.
"Mr. Xu, please go here, please!"
Secretary Zhu gritted his teeth secretly, although he wanted to please the boss, he was not the kind who wanted to be a servant, he was very ambitious, and he was seeking a deeper status.
The house of the four enters, resting in the capital of every inch of land is quite luxurious, the specific value is unknown, and the rough estimate is also worth several hundred million, Xu Yi stepped with a cold face, and there was no extra mind to watch the luxuriously decorated mansion.
The side room on the left side of the main hall was built into a transparent glass flower room by the owner's house, and an old man who was well-dressed was concentrating on pruning the flower branches.
"Oh, Xiao Zhu has already invited someone, not bad. ”
Cutting off a flower that bloomed out of season, the old man put the scissors in a wooden plate held by the servant on the side, wiped his fingers with a cloth towel and spoke casually.
"The person who comes is a guest, let Xiao Zhu lead people to the home remedies and wait. ”
If he was just a small Chinese medicine doctor, he should not have been put in the eyes of a person like the old man, but the identity that Xu Yi hid was qualified for the old man to call him to meet.
"Yes, sir. ”
The chief butler bowed his head, turned his head and ordered his subordinates to run to inform Secretary Zhu. As for why it is not a phone call, but manpower, it is because the owner of the house pays attention to pomp and circumstance, and mobile phones are not allowed to be used for non-important things.
The errand maid slandered the owner of the house in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. After all, if you have been working here for a few years, you can go out to pay a down payment, and with the housing prices in the capital, you can imagine how high the salary of the maid is.
"Mr. Xu wait here, the boss will come to see you when he is free." ”
got the big boss's password, Secretary Zhu took Xu Yi to the home remedies, let Xu Yi go in and wait, and he went to the boss to ask for credit.
Xu Yi sat in the circle chair with a calm expression, but he was not anxious to see the boss, since he had already come, he would see someone sooner or later.
"Sir, please have tea. ”
A beautiful maid brought a pot of tea, and the tea poured into the cup, exuding a slightly bitter aroma. Xu Yi, who was sitting firmly, smelled the fragrance of tea, frowned subconsciously, and turned his head to look at the cup in the tray.
"Don't drink it. Xu Yi's face was as usual, and he opened his mouth lukewarmly.
"If you don't drink, sir, I'll be punished. ”
The woman's gorgeous face had a pitiful expression, if there were other men present, they would definitely hug her in her arms and coax her, but unfortunately, she was facing Xu Yi.
"Don't drink,. ”
His gaze skimmed over the woman's fingers with nail polish, and then at her white face, which had been painted in an unknown number of layers. Because of the cover of cosmetics, Xu Yi couldn't see the specific situation, so he looked at the woman's earlobe again, and when he saw a few cherry red moles, his heart suddenly became clear.
She had been poisoned, and the source of the poison was the pot of hot tea that was steaming hot.
The maid saw that Xu Yi did not eat the oil, and on the surface she was pitiful but actually dissatisfied, she took the teapot and left, and secretly drank the tea in a place where no one was paying attention, completely forgetting what the housekeeper had ordered.
Sitting still, Xu Yi's expression was indifferent: "Time is running out." ”
It's the woman who stole the tea.
The other party walks vainly and weakly, obviously not a person in the martial arts world, but he often ignores the best tea for hospitality, thinking that he is taking advantage, but he doesn't know that it is the martial arts tea specially taken out by the host's family.
Martial arts tea requires internal force to run the whole body, remove micro-poisons and increase power. It is fine for people who practice martial arts to drink it, but if ordinary people who do not have half of the force drink it, they will be hit by a kind of tea poison that cannot be dissolved, and the more they drink, the deeper the poisoning will be, and finally they will be terminally ill and have no cure.
Xu Yi didn't believe that the people in this house couldn't catch the derelict maid, obviously she didn't drink tea once or twice, and no one stopped her, but just watched her die.
After unhurriedly disposing of the cut flowers, the old man walked steadily to the main hall, listened to the report of the chief butler, and calmly ordered: "Let people lead him over." ”
In just a few days, most of Xu Yi's information was found out, and the old man also read the information sent by his subordinates, and knew that Xu Yi's roots were good, and he had not been in contact with the martial arts world for a few months, but he was able to defeat the injured patriarch of the Sun clan.
"It's a pity. Sitting on a comfortable nanmu chair, the old man held the martial arts tea in his hand and drank it slowly.
Such a martial arts wizard was ruined in the family's turmoil, and the old man cherished his talents, thinking that if Xu Yi practiced martial arts since he was a child and practiced for one or two decades, his skills might rank first among the younger generation, and he might even surpass a group of old immortals.
