Chapter 113: The Mystery of Poppy Toxicity
The sword in Meng Tian's hand stabbed towards the masked man's deputy leader. However, the deputy commander didn't seem to care about Meng Tian's sword, he just stood in front of him with the long knife in his hand, just blocking the path that Meng Tian's sword stabbed through.
The sword stabbed into the sword, and the deputy commander let out an undisguised mockery, and swung Meng Tian's sword away with a flick of his wrist. While Meng Tian staggered backwards, the rest of the masked people around him also raised their weapons and killed Meng Tian.
Meng Tian felt that the medicinal power in his body could no longer be suppressed, his head was dizzy, and those colorful lights appeared in front of him again. Meng Tian stopped his retreat, held the ground with a knife in one hand, and held the wall on his side with the other, shaking his head vigorously to keep himself awake.
In a daze, Meng Tian saw the four knives slashing towards him, and with a loud shout in his mouth, the sword swung out vigorously, knocking the four long knives that attacked into the air, and then swinging out with a backhand sword. The four masked men who attacked Meng Tian did not expect that Meng Tian could exert such great power, in order to avoid repeating the tragedy of the two companions at the beginning, the four of them took a step back in unison, then glanced at each other, raised their long knives and attacked Meng Tian again.
After Meng Tian repelled the first attack of the four people, he finally couldn't hold back the power of the medicine, and knelt on one knee with his sword, letting out a heavy gasp from his mouth. It seems that the detoxification pill has no good effect on the poison in his own this time, the imperial doctor once said to Qin Wang Yingzheng and himself that this detoxification pill can have a good suppression effect on more than ninety percent of the poison in the world, it seems that this sentence is similar to at this time, and it is simply suppressed for less than half a stick of incense.
"Meng Tian, how are you, can you hold on?" Zi Yanran asked weakly behind Meng Tian's back.
Meng Tian turned his back to Zi Yanran and said vaguely: "Yanran, don't worry, I'm ...... I'm fine and I will definitely ...... Took the two of us out. ”
"When is it, can't you see the form in front of you?, you want to get both of you out, don't you look down on me and my brothers?" the masked deputy commander sneered.
"Hey, hey. Meng Tian was already surrounded by those strange colors in front of his eyes, he looked in the direction of the sound, although he couldn't see the specific person, he was still unwilling to give in to these Chu people. "When will you Chu people be able to make my Qin people surrender softly, you couldn't do it when you were at your peak before, and now that most of the Chu country has fallen into the hands of my Qin state, it is even more impossible. What else can I do, I Meng Tian also admitted the trick of poisoning, but the three-foot Qingfeng in my hand has not yet agreed. ”
When the deputy commander heard Meng Tian say this, he couldn't help but be angry, "Okay, since you don't know whether you live or die, then even if you risk being punished by your master, I will take you down and suffer death." The deputy commander asked the rest of the people around him to stand back for the time being, and then walked up to Meng Tian and pointed his long knife at him.
"The master gave the order not to let me kill you, I think as long as I bring you back alive, it should be considered a complete task, as for how many injuries you have, I think the master should not mind too much. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, fight if you want to. Meng Tian shook his body and stood up.
Seeing that Meng Tian still refused to be arrested, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and the long knife was slashed, wanting to cut Meng Tian's chest and abdomen with a single sword. Meng Tian couldn't see the other party's attack, but fortunately, the room was quite quiet, and when he heard the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air, he instinctively flashed to his side, barely dodging the knife. The blade of the knife was slashed in front of Meng Tian's nose, and if Meng Tian was a little slower, this nose would be flattened.
The deputy commander didn't intend to knock Meng Tian down with one move, and then his body moved forward with the momentum, kicking Meng Tian in the abdomen, directly kicking Meng Tian out.
Meng Tian was kicked against the wall, his throat was sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The deputy commander was unforgiving, and continued to bully forward, slashing at Meng Tian with a knife.
Meng Tian couldn't retreat with his back against the wall, so he could only roll over the wall to dodge. When Meng Tian turned to the window on the wall, the deputy commander abandoned the knife and then turned over and kicked Meng Tian in the chest, directly kicking Meng Tian out of the room and landing in the corridor outside.
Meng Tian covered his chest with one hand, and the sword in his hand was still holding the sword in his hand with the other, struggling to stand up. As soon as he stood up, the deputy commander flew out of the shattered window, and then both legs were kicked on Meng Tian's chest.
"Ahh With a bitter roar, Meng Tian was kicked out of the courtyard of the inn by the deputy commander from the corridor on the second floor and landed next to a well in the courtyard.
The deputy commander descended from the upper floor, and behind him, four of his subordinates also jumped down, and two others walked out of the room with Zi Yanran on their back, and then went down the stairs to the courtyard.
"How about it, you still don't surrender?" said the deputy commander as he looked at Meng Tian, who was lying on the ground and rolling over with a headache.
Meng Tian didn't answer him, one hand touched the place where his chest had been kicked, and he could feel that his ribs should have been kicked and broken, and there was a hot pain in his internal organs. However, because of the pain, he was awake for a short time. Meng Tian turned his head to see the bucket next to him, which was close to him, and struggled to get up and put his hand into the bucket, and there was a small half bucket of water in the bucket.
Meng Tian lifted the bucket with his arms, and then poured all the water in the bucket on his head. After the severe pain just now, coupled with the refreshment of this bucket of cold water, Meng Tian was finally completely awake.
Meng Tian saw that Zi Yanran had been controlled by these people, and understood that tonight might really be a prisoner of these people's swords.
Zi Yanran was held by two masked men, and it was extremely uncomfortable to see her man being beaten and injured so badly. It's a pity that she doesn't have any strength at all now, and she can't help Meng Tian at all, and she has become a burden to her.
Zi Yanran looked at Meng Tian, who slowly stood up and was covered in blood, and shouted bitterly: "Meng Tian, you go quickly, leave me alone." ”
Meng Tian raised his arm to wipe the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and smiled at Zi Yanran, "Yanran, don't worry, with me here, I will definitely protect you." ”
"At this time, you two still have the heart to flirt, it seems that you really don't know whether to live or die. The two of you will take this little woman back to the mountains to report to your master, and then take her back after the commander captures Meng Tian. The deputy commander instructed the two people holding Zi Yanran.
The two of them nodded at the deputy commander, turned around and left. Zi Yanran turned her head to look at Meng Tian, crying pear blossoms with rain.
Meng Tian wanted to go over to block him, but wherever he went, the deputy commander would go, just blocking his path.
Meng Tian took a deep breath to keep himself calm, now that Zi Yanran was arrested, he shouldn't be rash, otherwise both of them would be in danger.
The deputy commander turned his head and continued to look at Meng Tian, "I didn't expect you to be able to survive the large amount of medicine you took at night." Although the two of us are enemies now, I still have some admiration for you. ”
Meng Tian just looked at him coldly and didn't speak.
The deputy commander continued, "Do you feel strange why no poison can be detected in your food?"
Meng Tian nodded and said, "Why? Could it be that what you put in it is not poison?"
The deputy commander cast an appreciative look at Meng Tian and said, "Yes, after our master learned your identity, he felt that it was very inappropriate for you to stay here, so he wanted to kill you. However, because you died in Chu, the Qin State will definitely be furious in the future, and my Chu State may have countless casualties and mourning. So the master decides not to kill you, but you learn the secret of the poppy, which the master can't tolerate, so he decides to use the poppy to control you. ”
Meng Tian remembered the special taste of the dinner at night, and suddenly said, "You put poppies in the meal?"
The deputy commander shook his head and said: "The poppy is not poisonous when eaten in the stomach, except for its fragrance, the most poisonous thing should be the fruit under its flowers, and the dried poppy husk is boiled into a soup, and if people take it, it can make them mentally confused and lose the ability to resist, and the most important thing is that this soup is very addictive, and once addicted, it is impossible to quit." ”
"I see, it's really a wolf's ambition, no wonder even this kind of flower is not allowed to appear in the territory of Chu State. Meng Tian said through gritted teeth. The toxicity of the poppy is the same, but it is not a single poison, and ordinary people cannot detect it at all.
Just imagine, if this thing is used on the grain and grass in a country's army, won't it make the country's army directly lose its ability to resist? Meng Tian felt terrible when he thought about it, and even felt that Xiang Feng's mind was so vicious.
