Chapter Forty-Eight: Counting Counts
Gao Wei sent Meng Tian and Zi Yanran out of the house, and walked outside, Meng Tian asked Gao Wei: "Manager Gao, I want to know the details of Uncle Wang's assassination, I don't know if Manager Gao can talk to me, I think it shouldn't take much time." ”
Gao Wei saluted Meng Tian and said, "Since General Meng wants to ask, the villain will naturally obey his fate." Please go back to the room to rest first, and after the villain has arranged the affairs of my family, the villain will go to the general and explain in detail the assassination of my family. ”
Meng Tian and Zi Yanran followed a Qin soldier to the room that Gao Wei had arranged for the two of them, this room was not bad, much better than the room in the cottage, but it was only a lot better. Meng Tian asked Zi Yanran if she was tired, and asked her to go to rest first and think about something by herself. Zi Yanran knew what Meng Tian was thinking, so she didn't disturb him, and walked to the bed in the room to lie down and rest.
Meng Tian went out of the door, walked to the courtyard in front of the door, and saw a round stone table in the courtyard, and there were three stone benches next to the stone table, so he walked over and sat down. Meng Tian was thinking that when he entered Uncle Wang's room just now, he always felt that there was a problem, but he didn't know what the problem was, there were not many people in the room at that time, himself, Yanran, a doctor in charge of decoction, and Ying Guang who was lying on the bed, in addition to Meng Tian, there should be another person in the room, but he didn't find it.
Gao Wei sent Meng Tian and Zi Yanran away and returned to the house. At this time, Uncle Wang Yingguang, who was still lying on the bed and dying, had actually sat up at this time, and the doctor who decocted the medicine did not look sick before, as if he had changed someone. Ying Guang, who did it, asked Gao Wei, "How is it, are Meng Tian and that woman gone?"
Gao Wei said: "Back to the helmsman, those two have been sent away by the villain, but that Meng Tian said to the villain before leaving, he asked the villain to wait and find him, and carefully explain to him the process of Yingguang's assassination, I don't know what the helmsman's opinion is?
The doctor stepped forward and said, "Could it be that kid who saw our flaws?
The helmsman 'Ying Guang' spoke: "The secret agent of the Qin State once said that Ying Guang did not have a deep relationship with the other ministers of the Qin State, so he gained the trust of the previous Qin King and sent him to Yiqu to find out the truth about our killing of Li Ding. But just now I said those words to Meng Tian, I feel as if he is suspicious of me, is this Meng Tian still very familiar with Yingguang?"
Gao Wei said beside him: "The villain has been lurking by Ying Guang's side for so many years, and he has never seen him meet Meng Tian, and the villain thinks that he should just want to find out how Ying Guang was assassinated." ”
'Ying Guang' shook his head, "No, whether Meng Tian knows anything or not, we can't let him leave this courtyard alive." Gao Wei, you go and order someone to bring food to the two of them, put a little drug in the food, and then when the two of them are asleep, you can send someone to kill the two of them. Then he said to the doctor, "Go and bring the cartilage powder you have carefully developed to Galway, and let him eat it." The chief helmsman's important matter is close at hand, don't harm the three of us, otherwise even if the three of us escape to the ends of the earth, we still can't escape the organization's pursuit and killing order. ”
"The villain obeyed. ”
In the small courtyard, Meng Tian was sitting in the courtyard thinking about things with his eyes closed, when he suddenly felt that his temple was touched by a hand, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out that Zi Yanran had woken up and was helping him press his temple. Meng Tian asked, "Why don't you rest for a while?"
Zi Yanran sat on the stone bench next to Meng Tian, looked at Meng Tian and said, "I changed to a new place, I couldn't sleep well, I woke up and couldn't see you, so I came out, and when I saw that you were thinking about things, I didn't bother you." ”
Meng Tian held Zi Yanran's jade hand and said, "Don't worry, with me, I won't let you have anything to do." By the way, when you went to Uncle Wang's room today, did you have a very strange feeling? I felt that the room was strange, but I couldn't tell what was strange. ”
Zi Yanran carefully recalled that when she entered Ying Guang's room, she thought for a moment and said, "I think the smell of that medicine in the room is a little strange, this smell is similar to the smell of a herb I asked about in Uncle Huriza's house, but I can't remember which herb it is." ”
Meng Tian thought for a moment and said, "That smell is really weird, I seem to have smelled it somewhere, but I can't remember anything." ”
Just as the two of them were thinking about what they were smelling, a Qin soldier entered the small courtyard with food, saw Meng Tian and the woman with him sitting in the courtyard, and said, "General Qiyu, General Gao ordered the villain to bring your food." ”
"Well, okay, you can just put the food on the table in the house, and we'll eat it later." Meng Tian said to the soldier.
Qin Bing put the food on the table in the house and withdrew, Meng Tian pulled Zi Yanran back to the house, looking at the food on the table, Zi Yanran grabbed the food with her hand and sent it to her mouth, Meng Tian took the first step to knock down the food in her hand, and said, "You don't want to die, just now you said that this place is weird, you still dare to eat things here?"
Zi Yanran rubbed the hand that was beaten by Meng Tian and said, "People are hungry, besides, you just think it's weird, and you're not really sure it's weird, these meals look much better than the ones in the cottage, I should be fine if I taste it." ”
Meng Tian didn't speak, picked up the food on the table, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then brought it to Zi Yanran, asked her to smell it too, and asked after asking, "Like this, do you smell something very special?"
After Zi Yanran smelled it, she said, "You mean that the taste inside the food is the same as the smell in Yingguang's room?"
Meng Tian smiled approvingly, "You're not too stupid. We just don't know what this medicine is going to do now, so wait a minute, you lie down on the bed, and pretend to faint, and I'll lie on the table and see who will come. ”
Meng Tian pulled out a little of the dishes on the table, then collapsed under the bed, and gave Zi Yanran a look, Zi Yanran understood, and then went to the bed, pretending to faint. Before she pretended to be dizzy, she glanced at Meng Tian out of the corner of her eye, and found that Meng Tian was also secretly looking at herself, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and then closed her eyes. Meng Tian saw that Zi Yanran closed her eyes, then adjusted her breathing, and lay on the table and stopped moving.
