Chapter 111: Poisoned?

As Xiang Feng sent people to live in the same inn, Meng Tian didn't care, anyway, he didn't do anything, and when Zi Yanran's body recovered, the two would leave, and there should be no reason for this wind to do it to himself.

In the next few days, Meng Tian didn't go out, at most he just went out to buy a few delicious snacks from the Chu State for Zi Yanran, and then took care of Zi Yanran in the room, and occasionally moved his fists and feet in the backyard of the inn.

After drinking the bitter decoction for several days, Zi Yanran's body finally got better, but she had been lying in bed for a long time, and her body was still a little weak for a while, but she was able to get out of bed and move her body on her own.

Zi Yanran wanted to leave here after her body recovered, she had been ill here for more than ten days, and she had been delayed for a lot of time, so that Meng Tian only sent a letter to Qin with a carrier pigeon after learning the news of the poppy, and could no longer carry out the next step. However, Meng Tian still hopes that the two of them will leave here after Zi Yanran has fully recovered, because he is now under Xiang Feng's surveillance, and yesterday he went out to find that there were several more strange guests in the inn, and it seems that Xiang Feng has arranged for people to be by his side.

After Meng Tian thought about it, he didn't show any intention to be unfavorable to him in front of Xiang Feng, why did he be so hostile to himself? Meng Tian told Zi Yanran all this, although Zi Yanran didn't know what the will of King Yingzheng of Qin gave Meng Tian, but after Meng Tian said all this, Zi Yanran probably understood the ins and outs of this matter.

Zi Yanran sat on the chair and looked at Meng Tian who was walking back and forth in the room thinking about countermeasures, and said: "Maybe the problem in this matter is not ours, you just said that at the beginning, the person named Xiang Feng only arranged a few people to live here, and then after a few days, he sent more people over, which means that he was not prepared to do anything to us at first, and then he didn't know what happened before he made up his mind to be against us." ”

Meng Tian nodded and said, "Yes, but I've been wondering why my news has been sent out for so long, and why there is no news from the Qin State." According to the speed of the carrier pigeon, Qin Guo's reply should have arrived yesterday, why haven't I received it yet. Maybe when the news comes from Xianyang, we will know why Xiang Feng wants to do something to us. ”

Night was approaching, and a guy from the inn knocked on the door of Meng Tian and Zi Yanran's room to deliver the night's food, but Meng Tian found that the guy who delivered the food tonight was not the one from a few days ago. The guy explained that the guy who delivered the food a few days ago had an old man in his family who had passed away and had already gone back to mourn, so tonight, he changed himself.

Meng Tian took the food from the letter, closed the door, returned to the table, and put the food on the table. He made a silent gesture to Zi Yanran, and returned to the door to make sure that there was no one at the door. He said to Zi Yanran: "Don't rush to eat yet, I feel that something is not right." ”

Zi Yanran put down the dishes and chopsticks she had just picked up in her hand and said, "It's the same as the last time I was in Yiqu?"

Meng Tian walked to the side of the bed and took out a small cloth bag from the bag he had brought over, opened it and took out a very thin silver needle from it, walked to the table and inserted it into the food delivered, and then took it out to observe the color of the silver needle. After finding that the color of the silver needle had not changed, Meng Tian inserted it several times, but the color of the silver needle still did not change.

Zi Yanran looked at Meng Tian and asked, "How is it?"

Meng Tian shook his head, looked at the food on the table, looked at the silver needle in his hand, and replied, "There is no poison in the food, which is what I find strange." And this afternoon I saw the guy who delivered the food before, but it turned out to be a change in the evening, and if there is any more problem with the food, then I think this guy may be able to do something to us tonight. ”

"Why wasn't poison found in the food?

Meng Tian also felt strange, he picked up the food with a bamboo chopstick and put it under his nose and sniffed it, but he didn't smell a strange smell, and then he opened his mouth and ate the added meal, it tasted delicious, and there was nothing strange.

Meng Tian said: "These meals should be normal, I think they are even better than the meals of the previous days, you can try it." ”

Zi Yanran picked up the food and took a bite, and praised after eating: "Yes, it is indeed better than the meals of the previous days, maybe the chef in this store has changed, otherwise how could it suddenly become so delicious." ”

Meng Tian sat down, served rice for Zi Yanran, and said, "Whatever, since there is no poison in the food, then we can eat with confidence." When you are full, you will have the strength to deal with these people. ”

After the two of them finished the food they had delivered, the guy who had come to deliver the food came up and ate the empty plates that were left. He entered the house and saw Meng Tian and the two of them eating the food cleanly, and asked with a smile, "I wonder what the two guest officers think of the taste of tonight's meal?"

Zi Yanran said: "Young man, has there been a change of chef in your store, why do I think tonight's meal is better than the previous days?"

The guest officer said with a smile, the chef in our store did not change, but changed the raw materials of the dish slightly, so that he could make such a delicious meal. ”

"I see. Meng Tian said, although he still didn't worry about this meal, but since he had eaten it in his stomach, he didn't feel any discomfort in his body, hoping that he was just thinking about it too much.

The man took the dishes and exited the room, closed the door and went downstairs. However, after the fellow walked down the stairs to the kitchen and put down the dishes he was holding, he took off the innkeeper's clothes and walked out of the kitchen, and then walked to the door of a small inconspicuous house in the backyard of the inn. He knocked on the door a few times, and then the door of the room opened, and the fake guy looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, and then walked into the room.

There were seven or eight people in the room, each of them dressed in black suits, and among these people, the man who led Meng Tian into the mountain a few days ago was impressive.

The fake guy entered the house and said to everyone in the house, "Those two have already eaten all the food, and I estimate that according to the amount of medicine in the food, it should be enough for both of them to be confused for a while." ”

The man who led Meng Tian into the mountain said: "Okay, you did a good job, when the task ordered by the master is completed this time, I will return to the mountain and say a few good words for you in front of the master, so that you can reunite with your family." ”

"Thank you, Deputy Commander, the villain swears allegiance to his master. After listening to the words of the deputy commander, the fake guy knelt down on one knee and said in fear.

The deputy commander looked around at everyone in the room and said, "You get up first, go and change your clothes, and we'll do it at the third watch in the middle of the night." ”

"Obey the orders of the Deputy Commander. Everyone said in unison.

After Meng Tian and Zi Yanran finished eating, the two went downstairs and walked around the town, and then Meng Tian bought Zi Yanran some gouache and other things for women sold in the town, and added a few Chu costumes for Zi Yanran, and then the two felt that it was late at night and turned back to the inn. Go back to the room. Meng Tian waited for Zi Yanran to wash her feet, and then the two of them took off their clothes and fell asleep.

Not long after he fell asleep, Meng Tian felt that something was wrong, he felt that something was moving in his head, it was extremely uncomfortable, he opened his eyes, and in the faint candlelight in the room, he felt that there was a colorful and colorful scene in front of him, and there was still some buzzing sound in his ears.

Meng Tian turned around with great effort, touched Zi Yanran's body, and found that her body was also trembling, and it seemed that she should have encountered the same situation as herself. Meng Tian sat up with only clarity, he didn't understand why he had fallen for the enemy's plan when he was so careful. Meng Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, and recalled in his head that when he was in the palace of the King of Qin, Zhang Han taught him an internal skill that could temporarily resist the toxicity in the body. Meng Tian patted his head to keep it awake, and then folded his hands in front of the dantian, trying to use his internal strength to resist the poison.

Although the effect of internal power is minimal, it still produces some resistance to toxicity. Taking advantage of the rare sobriety of his mind, Meng Tian found the package, which contained the antidote medicine developed by the imperial doctor of the Qin State, which was given to him by Yingzheng in case of emergency, but he didn't expect it to really come in handy at this time.

Meng Tian found the small bottle where the medicine was placed, poured out two pills of the pill in the bottle with trembling hands, and then took one of them. After taking the medicine, Meng Tian hugged Zi Yanran, who was uncomfortable on the bed, in his arms, and then stuffed a pill into her mouth. Zi Yanran improved significantly after swallowing the pill, and her body no longer trembled. She opened her eyes and saw Meng Tian, and just wanted to speak, but Meng Tian blocked her mouth with her hand, Meng Tian shook her head at Zi Yanran, and then gently laid her flat on the bed.

Meng Tian left the bed, picked up the sword hanging at the head of the bed, pulled the sword out of its sheath and waited for it.
