Chapter 53: The Night Is Silent
Tonight, no one saw the Lord of Tang Castle, not even a few of his disciples, only the big shopkeeper was presiding over the affairs, this meal, all the guests ate very embarrassingly, but no one made any noise, everyone seemed to have reached a consensus, quiet and polite, but the food was in a hurry.

Everyone knew in their hearts that obviously something had happened in Tangjiabao in the afternoon, but no one knew what it was, and no one dared to ask, only a few sects closest to Tangjiabao asked a few words, but they didn't get an answer.
Tangjiabao Medicine House has always been the place where the Tang Gate makes poison and refines medicines, and the Tang Gate regards it as a holy place.
In the medicine house, Tang Fu took Tang Ye, Tang Can, and Tang Yu to look around, it was a mess, obviously someone broke in, and the person who broke in was obviously looking for something.
"Master, what is this person looking for?Is there anything else in the medicine house besides poison?" Tang Ye asked.
"And the antidote!" Tang Fu said, staring at a Nanmu box on the ground. And the inside of the box was already empty.
"Master, what's in this box?" Tang Yu asked.
"Antidote! Tangmen's secret bezoar Qingxin Pill. ”
"The Bezoar Qingxin Pill?" is the kind of Bezoar Qingxin Pill that is rumored to be able to cure all kinds of poisons?" Tang Ye said in surprise.
"Master, does Tangjiabao really have this kind of elixir?" Tang Can asked.
Tang Fu turned his back and looked at the door, and said slowly after a while: "Our Tang Sect was originally famous for making poisons and detoxifying, and this Niu Huang Qingxin Pill is a secret medicine of the Tang Sect, which can cure all kinds of poisons, and it will never be spread except for the master of the Tang Sect!"
"I see, no wonder we don't know it!, but if that's the case, why did it become a rumor?" Tang Yu said to himself.
"Because the secret recipe of this elixir has been lost since my grandfather's generation, and even my father doesn't know that the seven pills in this box have been passed down from that time!"
"Master, this thief actually recognizes this medicine, he must have a deep relationship with the Tang Sect! Could it be my enemy of the Tang Family Fort?" Tang Can said.
Tang Fu said in a low voice: "The Tang Sect has lived in Shu for a long time, except for those grandsons of the Qingcheng faction, I really can't guess it!"
"Master, since he is not in Sichuan and Shu, could this person be sent by the Central Plains Martial Arts or the Jiangnan Martial Arts?" Tang Ye said.
"Huh?" As soon as he heard this, Tang Fu seemed thoughtful, and said in a deep voice: "Don't guess, you three clean up here, just stay here! I'll go to the big shopkeeper!" he turned around and left.
The three of them bowed to each other.
Seeing Tang Fu leaving, Tang Can looked at Tang Ye and said, "Tang Ye, you did that just now, you did it on purpose!"
"Deliberately, hehe, I'm just guessing, why did you say that, senior brother!"
"Don't think I don't know, your mind is not in Shu at all, you have always wanted to go to the Central Plains to find that little slut!" Tang Can scolded.
"Who do you say is a slut?" Tang Ye asked, turning around and wanting to make a move. Tang Yu hugged him and said, "Okay, two brothers, you should stop for a while!"
"Hmph!" Tang Ye snorted coldly and walked out.
Tang Yu looked at Tang Can and said, "Senior brother, what are you doing here?"
"Mei Xueqi from Baijian Villa is not a person from the same road as us, he is still obsessed! When he sees that little slut, where does he look like a child of the Tang Sect?" Tang Can roared.
"Hey...... Forget it, brother!"
But in fact, what he said just now may not be wrong, this person may really be from the Central Plains. ”
"Oh, Senior Brother already has the answer?" Tang Yu asked.
"Tangjiabao does have a mortal enemy in the Central Plains, but it has already declined when the previous generation of castle masters was born, and there are only some scattered disciples so far!" Tang Can said.
"Senior brother is talking about the Five Poison Sect?" Tang Yu asked in surprise.
Tang Can nodded and said: "Exactly, I think that the Five Poison Sect and the Tang Sect were equal in power in the rivers and lakes back then, but later due to the internal struggle falling apart, coupled with the battle with the Tang Sect, the foundation of many years was finally destroyed...... If it's really the Five Poison Gate, it's terrible!" After speaking, he walked slowly out of the door and left.
Tang Yu looked outside the door and sighed, looked down at the medicinal herbs and medicine boxes on the ground, sighed again, and could only clean up alone......
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the moonlight is misty, the breeze is gentle, and occasionally a few insects and dogs bark, making this night seem extraordinarily peaceful.
Tangjiabao, which had been lively for a day, finally quieted down, and in the lantern hanging outside the door, there was a faint candlelight, which finally couldn't stand anymore under a gust of breeze and gradually went out.
In the night, a black figure crossed the garden slightly, quietly jumped, easily went to the roof, a ray of moonlight will be the figure of this person into view, slender figure, straight and handsome, soft hair floats with the breeze, look closely, it is actually a woman. Yes, this person is Tang Yan, the eldest lady of Tang Jiabao.
I saw her lying on the roof, staring at the two guest rooms opposite, motionless, as if waiting for something.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for two dark shadows to quietly come out of the house, quickly ran to the door, and went out as soon as they climbed over the wall.
Tang Yan immediately followed. The two men followed the street all the way to a nondescript hut, and then stopped at the door, as if waiting for someone.
Tang Yan didn't dare to follow too closely, so he could only stay on a big tree in front of the house and wait quietly.
After a while, three figures came from a distance, three people were dressed in black robes, wearing light gauze hats, their faces were not clear, the person headed by him was magnificent, with an extraordinary bearing, and two people next to him, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, obviously very human.
Tang Yan held her breath, restrained her breath, lowered her posture, for fear of being discovered, she knew that these three people were all masters, and their insight must be extraordinary, fortunately it was night, and her own internal strength was not very strong, so she could still easily suppress the released internal breath, which was also one of the reasons why Tang Fu sent her to act.
After the three of them entered the house, Tang Yan quietly got down the tree, quietly came to the window, pierced the window paper, and listened attentively.
At this look, Tang Yan was suddenly startled, among these five people, there were three people she actually knew, it was their Tangjiabao's rival Qingcheng faction, and these three people were Duan Shuiliu, the head of the Qingcheng faction, and the fat and thin two people, needless to say, were the fat and thin two elders. As for the remaining two, they are naturally disciples of the Qingcheng faction, Tang Yan guessed.
Just listening, Duan Shuiliu asked, "You two, how are things going?"
One person replied: "Master, my junior brother and I have been around during the day, and we have not found anything different about Tangjiabao, except for the cultivation place where Tangjiabao has always been the owner of the fort, and there, outsiders can't enter at all. ”
Another said: "That's right, so the first plan didn't work at all, so we implemented the second plan, and now the brothers and sisters have arranged it in place." ”
"Well, well, since we can't find the blood beads, we have to force them to hand them over themselves!" the man said.
"Boss, it's just that this Tang Sect has respected poison skills for generations, I'm afraid we will suffer!" said the fat old man.
"It's okay, junior brother, I know this in my heart, and I have already invited a master to come!" Duan Shuiliu said with a smile.
"What person?" I heard the thin old man suddenly roar, as if he had discovered Tang Yan.
Tang Yan reacted quickly, turned over, and jumped onto the tree again, his heart "banging" and jumping.
Several people immediately rushed to the door and looked around.
"What did Senior Brother find?" Duan Shuiliu asked.
"It just felt like there were eyes on us. The thin old man whispered.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect that I was discovered by Master Duan as soon as I arrived! Master Duan's skills are really getting deeper and deeper!" At this time, a voice came from the corner of the courtyard, and then a figure walked out, but it was an old man.
As soon as he saw this person appear, Tang Yan on the tree was suddenly startled, it turned out that this person had already been in the yard, could it be that everything about himself was seen by this person just now?
I saw this person stop under the tree, looked at Duan Shuiliu and smiled: "How is Master Duan lately?"
Tang Yan saw this person's appearance thoroughly at this time, and his heart was suddenly taken aback, because this person was none other than the old man who was in Tangjiabao during the day, and what made him even more puzzled was that this person had been poisoned by the second shopkeeper, and there was no possibility of survival?
"It turned out to be a senior!Hehe, why are you here in person, we just talked about you!" Duan Shuiliu smiled.
"Master Duan begged each other, how could my old man not give face?"
"Then please come in and talk!" Duan Shuiliu said, looking very respectful of this person.
"No need, just say it here, let's leave! It's very good here, I'll live here in the future, old man!" Unexpectedly, this old man actually wanted to drive away Duan Shui and rob this thatched hut, which immediately shocked everyone in the crowd.
The two juniors spoke first: "Old man, you are too rude, how can you rely on the old man to sell the old?
Duan Shuiliu didn't stop it, as if he wanted to express the anger in his heart through the mouths of the two disciples, but his face was still unshocked.
"Haha! Presumably these two are Xia Wen Zhao Lei, your two proud disciples, they are really well trained!" The old man had something to say.
"Senior, I smiled" and then said: "You two shut up for me, do you have a share of your talk?" and then spoke: "I am the head of the Qingcheng faction, how can I care about such a thatched hut? As long as my seniors are willing to help me, I am willing to give you Tangjiabao! In addition, gold, silver, jewelry, and ...... are available."
"Okay, say so much, it seems that Tangjiabao is already in your pocket, I have been to Tangjiabao during the day, it is not as easy as you think, but since you promised to give me this hut, I will help you. As he spoke, he took out a small bag from his bosom and said, "There are three pills here, which can cure all kinds of poisons, and you don't have to worry about their poisonous skills! ”
"Only three, I'm afraid it's not enough!" Duan Shuiliu smiled.
"You have watered it and divided it into people, and I believe that the power of the medicine will not be reduced much. ”
"This ......" Duan Shuiliu wanted to say something, but the old man said: "There will be no problem, okay, the old man is going to sleep, you can go back." He yawned.
Duan Shuiliu and the others were angry, but they still held back, smiled slightly, and left.
The old man kept looking at the backs of Duan Shuiliu and the others, but until the backs of several people completely disappeared into the night, he still had no intention of entering the house.
Tang Yan stayed on the tree, and he didn't dare to breathe.
However, after waiting for a long time, the old man did not leave, but simply sat down, leaned back against the tree, and snored.
Tang Yan waited for a while, and saw that the old man was motionless, as if he was asleep, so he hurriedly got off the tree from the other side and landed quietly, for fear of waking up the old man.
At this look, Tang Yan was completely stunned, only to see that there was no half figure under the tree at all, what about the old man? How could the person who was still under the tree just now disappear out of thin air? Tang Yan was shocked in his heart, could it be that he had seen a ghost?
And at this moment, I heard a burst of laughter coming from the tree, "Hehehehehe!"
Tang Yan looked up, it was the old man, it turned out that this old man actually climbed the tree the moment Tang Yan got off the tree, this kind of posture is really surprising.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Tang Yan asked loudly.
"Of course I'm human, but the little girl is very interesting!" the old man laughed.
"Who the hell are you? You are so poisoned that you can't be alive. Tang Yan said in surprise.
The old man glanced at his eyes and laughed loudly: "Hehe, if you go with me, I will tell you." As he spoke, he threw himself at Tang Yan.
Tang Yan turned over and dodged, and at the same time took out two daggers from his arms, one left and one right, which were already aimed at the old man.
The old man was not afraid when he saw this, but rushed up first, and shot a small set of grapples.
Tang Yan's skills are really extraordinary, a pair of daggers makes it dazzling, extremely ingenious, and every move forces the old man to retreat.
Just when the two were inseparable, I saw that the old man suddenly retreated and stopped attacking.
Tang Yan smiled slightly, it was expected that the old man was already lacking in strength, after all, he was already old and frail, and I am afraid that the young man might not be able to withstand this continuous fight.
Seeing Tang Yan smiling, the old man suddenly smiled and said, "It turns out that you are nothing more than that!"
Tang Yan laughed: "Hehe, you are still reckless, you are obviously out of breath!"
"Really?" said the old man, laughing eerily. I saw him take out a piece of white cloth from his arms, and with a flick of his right hand, he actually threw out the fluttering strip of cloth.
Tang Yan was startled at first, because she knew that it was not easy to throw a soft strip of cloth out, and it was impossible to do it without enough internal strength, but when the strip of cloth approached, she found that there was an iron ring in front of the strip of cloth, so that even if there was no strong internal force, it could be easily done.
Tang Yan dodged like this and easily dodged. He smiled and thought: "You want to scare me!"
However, Tang Yan still looked away, she never expected that this strip of cloth was closed and released with the old man's hands, and she just wanted to get close, but she had to dodge the old man's strip of cloth.
Tang Yan saw this strip of cloth coming and going, like a silver snake circling around, and was almost entangled by it every time, and suddenly realized in his heart: it turned out that this old man wanted to tie himself up with this strip of cloth. So he hurriedly seized the opportunity, and used a dagger to cut, but after trying a few times, he found that it was useless, this strip of cloth did not know what material it was, but it was cut constantly, and from time to time it exuded a faint fragrance.
After a long time, the more Tang Yan felt that his strength was insufficient, his hands and feet were weak, and then there was an endless sleepiness, his eyes were hazy, and he had an epiphany in his heart, this was a symptom of poisoning, and he didn't know it.
At this time, Tang Yan only heard the old man say: "Hahaha! Little girl, come with me, with you, I am afraid that Tang Fu will not obey!" Then, he lost consciousness......
