Chapter 188: Breaking the Siege
"Although it is only Uncle Eleventh who speaks, I still have to ask in advance, if I ask you to help refine the medicine, what do you want me to trade?" Walking out of the Tiandu Noble District with Shen Sleeve, although Su Zi's tone was very relaxed, she had never let down her guard against this person who didn't know the roots.
"Ha, it seems that I was too direct when I was in Songhe Tower, and until now, I thought that Bozhou had met and we were already friends. Shen Sleeve smiled a little helplessly, seeing that Su Zi only looked at him and didn't say anything, he had to say: "A transaction is a transaction, it doesn't mean that I have to settle everything with you, leave the Danfang to me, no remuneration, and I won't mention the other conditions after the medicine is completed." β
Shen Sleeve, every time he appeared, he gave Su Zi a subtle feeling, he seemed to be deliberately pandering, but he was clever and left no traces, Su Zi was very sure that he must have a plan, but it was precisely because he showed an intention from the beginning that it made it difficult for her to guess what he was hiding and what his real purpose was. Reason told her that she should keep her distance from such a character, but first, there was still an agreement between them that had not been fulfilled, and second, he had indeed not done anything, but had helped her once or twice, so Su Zi, who was extremely entangled in this, could only choose to wait and see what happened, but he was also a member of the Shen family, but even if she was a friend, she did not plan to have a deep friendship with him for the time being.
Seeing that Shen Sleeve had spoken to this point, Su Zi did not refuse his kindness anymore, and handed over the Dan Fang written by Shen Ling to him, and after carefully reading the dozen or so words on it, he returned the formula to her. "Half a year later, I will ask someone to send the medicine to the Mountain of No Return. β
"Half a year?" Su Zi was surprised, "This medicine will be refined for half a year?"
"Hmm. If you can succeed at one time, it will be half a year. Shen Sleeve explained: "There are not many materials needed, but more than half of the spirit grass needs to be complicated to process, and at my level, refining it in half a year is already the limit." β
It turned out to be so troublesome...... Su Zi carefully put the recipe away, and then she had a real feeling that she really had some terrible illness. But now she regretted it a little, so she asked Shen Sleeve to help. Although she didn't plan to avoid him in the future, she couldn't keep being so indebted? It simply made her upright young man's conscience uneasy, and she glanced at Shen Sleeve. said: "No wonder I asked Uncle Eleven for help just now, and he directly replied to me that I was very busy, since refining this furnace pill is so troublesome, I naturally can't let you do white work." Medicine. Alchemy, you can make a price. β
Hearing this, Shen Sleeve's pace suddenly stopped, "Su Zi really doesn't want to treat me as a friend?" Although he was still smiling on his face, his smile had faded a lot.
"My brother still settles accounts, let alone others. Moreover, the first impression that the relationship between you and me is based on fair and reciprocal conditions is difficult to change. Even if you want to be friends, you have to go through the process. Su Zi didn't intend to give in. There is no need to say anything nice and perfunctory, just make it clear to him, "For example, will you tell me what the content of the hexagram you want to calculate, and what is the purpose?
For a while, Shen Sleeve was silent, and Su Zi was not in a hurry, just stood in place and waited for him to speak, and after a long time, he laughed again, "One hundred thousand." β
Su Zi's eyebrows jumped.
"The materials, the time, and the amount of effort involved, if this furnace pill is to be priced, 100,000 spirit stones is not high. Shen Sleeve looked at her with a smile, "After the medicine is refined, you won't be too late to pay." β
"Good. Su Zi nodded without hesitation, she is not a local tyrant, although she holds the golden mountain but can't dig it, the number of 100,000 spirit stones is enough to make her flesh hurt, but flesh pain is better than owing such a favor.
Now that the matter is settled, Su Zi doesn't plan to continue to hang out with him, so she wants to say goodbye and go to meet Chu Huarong, but as soon as a statement came out, she felt that something was directly hit by something in her lower back, and she was immediately shocked in her heart, she could get close and not let her notice the slightest, if this is a weapon blade, I'm afraid she has been stabbed by now! Turning around, jumping back, using her finger as a sword, she was just about to make a move, but she saw that the thing was fast like a black shadow, and instantly rushed to her side, Su Zi was nervous in her heart, but her hand was more calm, and she took a step back to open the distance, but at the same time she saw the true face of the black shadow.
Su Zi was stunned, and the sword finger was hidden, and Shen Sleeve shot at this time, his movements were several times slower than the black shadow, but it was such a slow stop, and he accurately stopped the black shadow that was also staring at Su Zi, and Su Zi, who saw Shen Sleeve shoot for the first time, was stunned again, and when he saw him turn his hand, he was about to make a move, and the "black shadow" who knew that this person was not easy to deal with shouted at Su Zi, "Sister save me!"
Every time she appears, it is bound to be troublesome, and she calls her sister so familiar, Su Zi looked at Chu Yunci, who didn't know where to call, and didn't want to agree at all. But Shen Sleeve had already stopped because of this sister, Chu Yun immediately rushed to her side when she saw the opportunity, and before she could speak, she only heard him whisper, "The people in Fengcheng are chasing me, sister, do me a favor!"
Feng Cheng didn't leave her room for detailed inquiries at all, the pursuers who were originally following Chu Yunci had already rushed in this direction, Su Zi's eyelids immediately jumped twice, she wanted to say that she didn't know this little ghost, but how could this little ghost of the Gu Gate let her get out so easily, it would be troublesome to really kick out his identity as a demon cultivator, so she could only stabilize it first and see the situation.
After turning his mind like this, the people who came were already in front of him, looking at their clothes, they should be the guards who were specially transferred from Fengcheng to maintain the order of the Tianxia Association. There were six people coming, and the three of them were surrounded in an instant, Su Zi quickly glanced at it, and saw that one of the men had a strange gray color on his face, and at first glance he was poisoned, she yelled in her heart, but her face showed a look of panic, and she asked one of the guards first, "Excuse me...... What's going on?"
The guards led by her kept staring at Chu Yunci, who was hiding behind her, and listened to the question. The sharp gaze swept over, "Demon Cultivator trespassed into the World Council and poisoned the guards of the venue." We were ordered to arrest him, and you two are his accomplices?"
The word Demon Xiu instantly caught Su Zi off guard, but before she could get along, Chu Yunci had already drilled out of her head, "Sister, they wronged me! I happened to see two demon cultivators killing people, and they said that I was an accomplice of demon cultivators for no reason!"
How could there be two demon cultivators? New information kept popping out, and Su Zi couldn't speak rashly. But the guard's words were also answered quickly, "You don't have an invitation on you, and you hurt people with poison, so you have to quibble?"
"I've already said that my invitation is on my family. Again. You all don't know what to do, of course I'm going to resist!" Chu Yunci tugged at Su Zi's cuffs, "Sister, show them my invitation." β
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Su Zi again.
ββ¦β¦ The younger brother is stubborn, please forgive me. However, she had no other answer, and she showed them the invitation, "but he is not suspicious." It must have been just a misunderstanding. β
However, even after reading the invitation, the guards' suspicions were still not dispelled. "And where's your invitation?"
"I am Su Zi, the military attache of the capital lord's mansion, if you still have doubts, you can follow me to see the capital lord. Unleashing the big move, Su Zi took advantage of their hesitation and scolded Chu Yunci sharply, "Don't you take out the antidote yet?"
"This brother is only a river wind grass poison, although it looks serious, but even if you don't take the antidote, the poison will solve itself after an hour. Shen Sleeve, who had been silent all the time, suddenly took a few steps forward at this time, and the needle fell in his hand, and when everyone didn't react, he had already put three needles on the head of the poisoned person. In a few seconds, the man's face was back to normal. "It's rude, in the lower sleeves. β
A military attache in the imperial capital, a doctor surnamed Shen, and Shen Sleeve took action to detoxify again, these people finally stopped digging deeper, and left in a hurry after a misunderstanding, thinking that they were going to search for the two murderous demon cultivators in Chu Yunci's mouth.
And when the crisis was lifted, Chu Yunci immediately rushed to Su Zi with a smile, naturally not expecting any guilt and gratitude on his face. "Sister, I'm glad I met you, otherwise I would be in big trouble. β
Su Zi frowned, and the afterglow happened to skim Shen Sleeve's gaze to examine Chu Yunci, and before she could speak, she heard him ask with a smile, "Do you need me to avoid it?"
Sighing, she shook her head, "No, thank you." Then she turned to Chu Yunci and asked, "You didn't kill anyone, what about those two demon cultivators?"
"Sister, if I really want to kill someone, can those six people still live?" Chu Yunci smiled very brightly, "I'm very measured, I don't want to make trouble in this kind of place at all, this time I was purely affected by others." As for those two demon cultivators...... Hehe, tell my sister that it's okay, but I don't know this brother, so it's better not to say it. As he spoke, he looked at Shen Sleeve.
"You are not very old, but you are very experienced in using poison, even if you are a demon cultivator, there are not many factions that are good at poison, the Divine Dragon Palace, the Qianli Pavilion, and the Gu Gate. The Divine Dragon Hall is long in demon poison, the master of the Qianli Pavilion is dead, and although the poison of the river wind grass is shallow, it is a poisonous weed that many poisons like to eat, are you a person from the Gu Gate?"
Shen Sleeve's analysis may not have even thought of Chu Yunci, although he was still naΓ―ve, but his tone was dangerous, "Brother Shen is really a smart person. β
"There is no malice. Shen Sleeve still smiled easily, "You can't trust me, I can avoid it, but I also can't let you be alone with Su Zi, you can use the Divine Mind Transmission to inform her of the situation." β
Listening to these two people, Su Zi's head hurt even more, "Needless to say, I don't want to know what you are doing here, how many righteous paths have been gathered here, I think with your cleverness, you won't get into trouble, let's leave quickly." β
Chu Yunci's gaze roamed over the two of them for a while, and then he suddenly said in her ear, "The people from the Ghost Mansion and the Soul Prison are here, my eldest brother didn't tell me what they were going to do, in short, you should be careful at this conference." After speaking, he turned his head and grimaced at Shen Sleeve, and then ran away. (To be continued......)
