Chapter 1165: Last Resort
The matter is very complicated, so Lin Wan has not talked about it with Zhou Tianqi. However, at this moment, if you don't make it clear to Zhou Tianqi, it won't work. So, Lin Wan started talking about Xiaohe's life experience, and talked about how she concluded that the black-clothed man who escaped from poisoning was Xiaohe's mother Chen Susu, and then how she used the relationship between Xiaohe and Chen Susu to threaten her to help her get Lu Manting's blood, and made an appointment to exchange antidotes at the Land Temple at the end of tonight.
After listening to Lin Wan's story, Zhou Tianqi understood the whole ins and outs, and finally understood why Lin Wan was so confident about the exchange of antidotes.
By the time the carriage stopped outside the dilapidated Land Temple, it was already dark. Lin Wan took out the night pearl he was carrying, illuminated the surrounding environment, and began to regret choosing the location here.
This place was chosen by the dark, and of course there was a purpose for him to choose this place. This dilapidated temple has been abandoned for many years, and no one comes here on weekdays except for a few homeless people. It's early spring, and it's very cold in the temple, so even the homeless people don't come.
However, although this place has been abandoned for a long time, everyone knows it, so this is the best place to agree. This matter was dark from beginning to end, and the dark has always been covered in black clothes and black scarves, and Lu Zhenting can't guess his origin, so he chose to be here to protect Lin Wan's identity from being exposed.
Chen Susu's palm was injured that day, because it happened suddenly, Chen Susu didn't see who did it, so Lu Zhenting didn't know who was exchanging antidotes with him, even if he suspected that Lin Wan did it, it was just a suspicion.
Although the hidden soul was recognized by the people of the Lu family and locked in the cellar by Lu Manting, the hidden soul did not say anything, even if Lu Manting guessed that it was someone from the Lin Wan faction who was spying on her, there was no evidence.
However, it was really dirty, smelly and cold here, and Lin Wan felt that his stomach was tumbling, and he might vomit at any time. Hurriedly covering his mouth and nose, Lin Wan turned around and was about to walk back.
Zhou Tianqi saw Lin Wan's appearance and knew that she couldn't stand this, so he immediately used his body to protect Lin Wan, and withdrew from the broken temple with his arms around her.
After walking far, Lin Wancai let go of his hand, gasped for breath, and complained in a low voice: "Why did Uncle Dark invite people here? I can't stay here for a moment." ”
Zhou Tianqi frowned slightly, and said, "In that case, let Gale Feng send you and Xiaoqi back first, Uncle Dark and I stay, and we will get things done." ”
Lin Wan shook his head and said, "No, I'm not at ease, I must see this matter completed with my own eyes, otherwise, how can I go back with peace of mind?"
As he was talking, the dark suddenly appeared in front of Lin Wan and Zhou Tianqi, bowed down and said, "Young master, miss, there is a secret passage in front of you, you can enter the dark room in the temple, there is a secret contact point of the Shadowless Pavilion, everyone come with me." With that, he turned around and walked towards the left side of the ruined temple.
Lin Wan, Zhou Tianqi, Wang Qi and Gale followed behind Darkness and walked towards the secret passage that Darkness said.
Sure enough, he didn't go far, just behind the ruined temple, in an overgrown place, the darkness pushed away the weeds in front of him, revealing a hidden stone door.
Pushing open the stone door, he walked in darkly, lit the torches on the wall, and Zhou Tianqi escorted Lin Wan in, followed by Gale and Wang Qi. Darkness stayed at the end, closing the stone door again.
The secret passage is not long, only about a dozen steps, and you have already come to a small stone room, the stone room is very simple, only a table, four stools, and a wooden bed. However, it's clean and tidy, and it's much better than that broken temple.
There is a small circular hole in the wall of the stone chamber, from which you can clearly see the whole situation in the ruined temple. Only then did Lin Wan know that there was such an important reason why Dark chose the place to exchange the antidote here.
The hour was still early, and Lin Wan, Zhou Tianqi, Gale Feng and Wang Qi sat in the stone room, quietly waiting for the arrival of Lu Zhenting and Lu Manman. Darkness had already left the stone chamber and was watching near the ruined temple, if someone from the Lu family came, he would be the first to find out.
Who is Lu Zhenting, when he makes an appointment tonight, of course he will bring someone to prepare in advance. Therefore, when I arrived, there were already many people outside the ruined temple, and there were a lot of secret guards. It wasn't until the secret guard checked the vicinity of the broken temple and didn't find anything unusual, that Lu Zhenting's carriage came from a distance.
However, in addition to Lu Zhenting, there was also Lu Manting who got off the carriage. When Lu Zhenting and Lu Manting walked into the broken temple together, Lin Wan couldn't help frowning when he saw them from the small cave, and secretly worried in his heart, didn't Lu Manman succeed?
Lu Zhenting looked at the situation in the broken temple, frowned at Lu Manting and asked, "Manting, are you really sure that the person who asked us to come is Lin Wan'er?"
Lu Manting nodded and said, "Father, daughter is sure." Except for Lin Wan'er, no one was able to save that spy's life, and he also poisoned your secret guard leader so strangely. Moreover, he even dared to use this as a threat to let you personally change the antidote. ”
Lu Zhenting nodded slightly, and asked with some hesitation: "Manting, did you bring the antidote? If it is a last resort, you can give them the antidote." I can't do it for the sake of a spy to accompany the life of the head of the secret guard of our Lu Guo Mansion. ”
Lu Manting glanced at Lu Zhenting with some suspicion, but didn't say anything, just nodded lightly and said, "I'm already here, of course the antidote has been brought." It's just that I'm afraid someone has already sent the antidote one step earlier. ”
Lu Zhenting was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Manting, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Manting snorted coldly, raised her arm, untied the handkerchief on her left wrist, flipped her wrist over, showed it in front of Lu Zhenting, and said coquettishly: "Father, look, this is a good thing your baby daughter does." ”
Lu Zhenting looked at Lu Manting's wrist for some reason, and saw that there was a long bloody wound on her wrist, and there was a trace of bright red blood oozing out of the wound, obviously just injured.
Lu Manting complained while rebandaging her wrist: "Father, do you know? And your precious daughter Lu Manman, who didn't know who was instructed by her, suddenly came to talk to me, and drugged my tea, and when I fainted, she cut my wrist and stole my blood. Even if she still has a conscience, help me stop the bleeding from the wound when I leave, otherwise, you may not be able to see Manting again. As he spoke, he began to weep bitterly.
