Chapter 7: A Strange Taste (Thanks to Yinbai's Commuter Pass)

Jingling City at night is very peaceful, the bustle of the market during the day has all receded, and the potters who worked in the entire Cheng kiln workshop during the day have also returned to the nearby slums, there are only some guards in the kiln and the kiln workers who keep watch for the fire day and night, Cheng Jia is checking the accounts with Cheng Tong and several tents, and Mi Huang and Cheng Qingqing They went back to their rooms to rest.

In the long summer night, Mi Huang's vigilance gradually faded over time, but there was still no rest, which group of people who followed them during the day were finally lost by the Ya people, so Mi Huang has not been able to find clues to determine who is going to follow them and what the purpose is.

It's just that Mi Huang, who has been in the deep palace for many years and has been intriguing, always feels that there is something wrong with this group of people, could it be that Yue Jiao did it in advance? But seeing that these people don't behave like those noble children of the forbidden army, they can only continue to look through the set of "Soldiers" with them and sort out their thoughts.

While Mi Huang was reading the book, time passed little by little, and when it was almost midnight, she looked up at the moon outside the window and was hanging in the night sky, hidden in the clouds, very faint, until she could no longer see clearly.

Heaven and earth, at this moment, seem to have reached the darkest hour.

In all directions, in addition to the small building and the kiln, there was also a fire.

It's almost black and miserable.

In addition to a heavy earthy smell in the air of the kiln, there was a strange aroma mixed in with it, similar to what she had smelled at the market stalls today.

Drifting in the wind from far and near.

Because it was midnight, except for the accompanying Si Qin, the secretary had already fallen asleep, and even the workers watching the fire in the entire kiln were squinting and napping, leaving only Cheng Jia's tent still lit up, and the cicadas who had been calling in the middle of the night on the few old trees on the edge of the small building also seemed to be sleepy.

Heaven and earth are quiet.

It was so quiet that Mi Huang also rubbed his eyes, and finally felt very tired, laughing at himself, and secretly blaming himself for being suspicious.

However, a few stalkers made her nervous for most of the night, and if she continued like this, she was afraid that the child in her belly would also suffer, and then she got up and prepared to go to bed.

Just as she turned around, a soft sound sounded outside the high walls of the kiln.

Very light.

But she heard it.

Out of nowhere, hidden in the chaotic night, it inadvertently sounded and fell, very regular.

Mi Huang suddenly clenched the dagger between his wrists, and at the same time patted the siqin who was about to fall asleep on the side, and sighed lightly with his vertical fingers, and then pointed to the high wall of the kiln workshop, there seemed to be a black roof slowly driving along the high wall, listen carefully to this sound, it should be the sound of horses' hooves and wheels wrapped in cloth.

Who wouldn't sleep in the middle of the night?

Si Qin suddenly nervously took out her poisonous secret weapon from the hidden bag and held it in the palm of her hand.

The two of them saw a black carriage parked outside the gate of the kiln, and the guard at the door seemed to have no reaction, and slowly opened the door, but there seemed to be no one on the tightly wrapped carriage, not even the coachman, just like a horse walking here by itself.

The silence in the surroundings sets off this scene very strange, and there is a hint of infiltration.

And the fragrance in the air is even stronger.

In a daze, Si Qin let out a low cry and said in a low voice, "Is that Cheng Tong, what is he doing with a stack of bricks in the middle of the night?"

Hearing this, Mi Huang also saw a black shadow holding a stack of bricks slowly walking towards the gate, while the guards on both sides had no instinct and did not even salute, and Cheng Tong passed them and loaded the bricks onto the carriage.

Every movement is like being enchanted.

It's very scary to look at.

She felt that something was wrong, "Let's go, let's go and tell Cheng Jia, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes in the kiln." ”

"Hmm!"

Si Qin followed, and woke up Si Shu casually.

went out and called Ya, who was guarding outside the door, and briefly talked about the situation outside, Mi Huang took Ya and Siqin to take people downstairs first, and then someone went to call Cheng Jia and the steward here.

Everyone carried the yellow lantern, and suddenly the originally black and desolate workshop lit up with yellow light, and when they arrived at the gate, they saw that the general manager suddenly fainted to the ground, and the bricks in his hands were all scattered on the ground, and the guards guarding the door were all unconscious and unconscious.

And the ownerless carriage suddenly ran wildly, and at that moment, Mi Huang seemed to see a pair of very dark eyes from the black carriage, darker than the night, but very pure.

She knew that there must be someone in the cart, and the dagger in her hand shot out to stab the running horse and prevent the carriage from leaving, but she saw a sharp arrow from the carriage, which was extremely fast, and the angle was straight to her face.

In the exclamation of everyone's "protect the princess", Mi Huang shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Everyone quickly dispersed, and the daggers that flew out only had time to cut off a little cold arrow flying in the air, and the arrow and the dagger landed at the same time with a "clang".

The carriage sped away before everyone's eyes.

At this time, Mi Huang's mood was a little angry, angry at this feeling like a fog, trapping herself, she was like a trapped beast caught in a lot of conspiracy, unable to find a way out, angrily glared at the black carriage only left a black shadow in the deep alley, and ordered loudly, "Chase!"

"Yes, lady!"

Following the two ruts left on the ground, Ya immediately led his men to chase after them, but when he came to an intersection, three rut lines appeared, leading to three other directions at the intersection.

There are also three carriage bodies.

It's all exactly the same.

"Damn, which side the hell?"

Ah Ming turned his horse's head anxiously, looked at the small alleys of the slum in the black hole, and ordered, "We will divide into three directions, continue to chase, and we must catch these people." ”

"Yes, head!"

The Dark Guards divided into three groups and pursued them in three directions.

Cheng Jia and Mi Huang also came one after another, looking at the three direction markers left by Ya and frowning deeply, their eyes met, they all felt unpredictable, Cheng Tong's guards fainted, no matter how they screamed, they didn't seem to wake up.

"What do these people want to do?"

Cheng Jia's eyebrows, which had not been condensed for a long time, gathered deeply into Chengchuan.

Mi Huang took a breath lightly, and there was a vague smell in his nose, although it was getting weaker and weaker, but it was exactly the same as the smell he smelled in the kiln, hovering beside them, "Cheng Jia, do you smell a strange fragrance in the air?"

After speaking, she suddenly retched against the wall.

This smell made her nauseous, just like the sleeping pills prescribed by Ruo Ao Ziyan and the doctor, she would get dizzy when she smelled too much, and she felt that the characters in front of her and the street scene could not be seen clearly.

"Huang, how are you?"

Cheng Jia stepped forward worriedly.

"I'm fine, it's just that this tastes so weird......"

Mi Huang leaned against the wall, his hand clenched into a fist, suppressing the discomfort in his chest, and the other hand held his forehead, feeling his head getting dizzier and dizzier.

"Hold your breath, the smell may be poisonous and not good for you and the baby in your belly. Cheng Jia looked at Mi Huang and seemed to be getting more and more wrong, and said urgently.

"Hmm. ”

Mi Huang nodded and held her breath, and didn't speak again, but it was too late, she just felt that her whole body was soft, as if someone had taken all the strength from her body, and then she fainted, and Cheng Jia only had time to catch her.

"Someone, hurry back to the ship!"

And after they left quickly, in a shanty civilian house on the edge of the crossroads, a tall young man helped up a thin and weak young man beside him, "Wu'er, okay, they are gone." ”

"Then let's go back, big brother!"

A soft voice said.

"Well, I'll carry you. ”

I saw the tall young man carrying the thin young man on his back, climbing up the high wall, and then dropping a silver baht in the courtyard, and then he turned it over, and ran away to the outskirts of the slum, and the young man put his arms around the shoulders of the man under him, and his legs fluttered weakly in the night, and drooped straight down.

"Big brother, when I just left, that woman seemed to like me, and her eyes were so cute when she looked at me. ”

"Really, I can only tell she hates you. The young man carrying him frowned slightly.

"Really, I think she likes ......."

"To hate is to like. ”

"You don't understand!"

A string of loose laughter flowed happily through the city, and the young man leaned on the broad shoulders of the eldest brother, and kept saying, "It's a pity...... They found out too soon, otherwise it would have been, and our trip was not in vain. ”

"Okay, don't think about it anymore, this trip to Chu State, since we have lost money, we should hurry to Qin State, and these grains can still be sold. Young men disagree with the word.

"Big brother, then we will also lose the freight. ”

"No, we have to earn it back!"

The emaciated young man shook his head stubbornly.

The two of them became one, gradually blending into the night.

Cheng's kiln workshop this night, but because of their arrival, for a while, the whole lights were bright, searching for people everywhere, Cheng Qingqing, who slept very deeply, was woken up by Evian in a burst of noise, covered her head and said, "It's not dawn, what's the noise?"

"Miss, wake up!"

"The lady had an accident, and the steward fainted innocently, and she hasn't woken up yet. ”

Evian had never seen the second son so nervous, and he made a big fire at everyone, scolded them all, and was checking whether there were ghosts in the kiln.

"What?"

Cheng Qingqing rubbed her eyes, sat up weakly, how could she feel so weak on her body, but she also knew that the situation was serious, and then pushed Cheng Fei, who was also sleeping very deeply, but the little Cheng Fei seemed to have entered some kind of deep sleep, his eyes were closed, lying motionless on the bed, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed.

Cheng Qingqing cursed, "Damn! Fei'er, why did you sleep so deeply, you won't have any illness, right?"

Evian and Qiaoyun are also pinching Chengfei's people.

But it didn't work.

Cheng Fei was like falling asleep, without any consciousness.

Qiao Yun said fearfully, "Miss, the symptoms of the little boy are exactly the same as those of the steward, the little boy...... He's not going to fall for it, is he?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that the princess is the same, and she has been sent back to the ship to find the old man for treatment, miss, let's go back quickly! Otherwise, if something happens to the little boy, the eldest lady will definitely blame us." Evian said worriedly.

"Hmm!"

Everyone quickly packed their things and quickly returned to the ship.
