Chapter 224: Laying the Net and Closing the Net
At the foot of the mountain were dozens of fast horses and a carriage parked quietly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Lights were lit in the carriage, two lanterns hung outside the carriage, and dozens of men in gray clothes outside the carriage stood quietly around the carriage, standing or sitting.
Dumb stood with these gray-clothed men, took out a Xun, put it to his mouth, and blew a whine like a ghost crying wolf.
Qiu Da sat in the carriage, and on the table in front of him were lined up with more than a dozen small bottles and gourds of all sizes containing various pills and potions.
Qiu Da stared at these bottles and gourds in a daze for a long time, and he didn't bother to take a look at the black-clothed people caught by the dumb and the gray-clothed men outside the car.
Some of the men in black were injured when they were caught, and some were fine. But soon after being caught, he began to foam at the mouth, and after being sent to the foot of the mountain, there were still one or two angry, and Dumb asked Qiu Da to save people, saying that he would ask for a confession.
"What's so nice about a dead man. They will die, and there will be no salvation. Qiu Da sat in the carriage and sniffled, frowned and said this.
Qiu Da has always been very sensitive to the smell of poison, and he hasn't gotten out of the car to see it, but the white foam spit out by those men in black has let him know that it is highly poisonous, and he just said that there is no help, and the two who were still angry also died.
There were seven or eight dead people lying outside the carriage, but Jiang Li was still nowhere to be seen, and Xiao Xiang was already restless in the corner of the carriage.
Qiu Da looked at the pile of bottles of pills and muttered, "What kind of poison will be in Miss Jiang?" Xiao Xiang glanced at Qiu Da, and felt that it was no longer good to ask him questions that had been asked more than a dozen times. So he turned his head to the outside of the car curtain, lowered his voice and asked the shadow standing outside the car curtain: "Sixi, our master hasn't come back for so long, do we want to stop looking for it?" ā
Sixi just said "hmm", Qiu Da raised his head and glanced at Xiaoxiang.
Qiu Da snorted coldly: "Why are you so uncontrollable!" Your young lady didn't come back, didn't our fifth brother come back either? You don't go to inquire, Xiao Wulang hasn't missed a shot. He's been gone for so long, he should find Miss Jiang. Don't worry, Dumb sent a signal like this, and he will be back soon. ā
"Oh." Xiao Xiang replied stupidly, but asked Qiu Da, "What is Dumb blowing this?" ā
"Xun." Qiu replied without raising his head.
Xiaoxiang sighed, turned her head and said to Sixi: "I heard them blow last time in Anyang, and I didn't think there was anything at that time. But this barren mountain and wilderness is dark and blind, and listening to the dumb blow is crying and howling, it is really terrifying. ā
"Xun is also a musical instrument, it sounds pretty good, what's so scary!" Sixi stood outside the car, clasped his arms with both hands and said with a faint smile: "Anyway, no matter how good your kung fu is, you are just a woman, and your courage is too small." ā
Xiao Xiang was pouting unconvinced, but heard Sixi shouting happily: "They're back!" ā
As soon as Xiaoxiang lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, she saw a white shadow in the distance. In an instant, Xiao Yu fell in front of the car in a dark robe. Jiang Li was wearing a long green white dress, lying motionless in his arms, his face crimson and his eyes closed.
"What's wrong with my girl?" Xiaoxiang's question was crying. Xiao Yu didn't have time to answer, walked past Xiao Xiang, and got into the carriage directly.
Xiao Yu entered the carriage and put Jiang Li on the soft couch. Qiu Da stepped forward to take a look, Xiao Xiang stayed in front of the soft couch to tuck the quilt for Jiang Li, but saw Xiao Yu pulling Qiu Da over and muttering on the side.
Xiao Yu told Qiu Da what Zhou Hong had heard, and took out the black insect-like medicine to show Qiu Da.
Qiu Da took it and put it in his palm to look at it carefully, and after reading it, he leaned to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and after a long time, a smile appeared on his face. Qiu Daxiao glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "Maybe what Zhou Hong said is right, this medicine is a love cup, which is equivalent to something like a flattering medicine." Now that you have the antidote, isn't it easy to solve it, you can solve it for Miss Jiang. ā
"It turns out that the eldest brother has always looked down on Xiao so much?" Xiao Yu glanced at Qiu Da and said unhappily.
Qiu Da coughed lightly, "It's not that I look down on you, I don't see that one of you is affectionate and the other is intentional, isn't it a matter of time." ā
The corner of Xiao Yu's eyes swept over the figure on the side of the soft couch, and said lightly: "This kind of thing should also be happy with each other, not when it has to happen." I was insulting not only her, but myself. So please help my eldest brother think of other ways. ā
"So this antidote can't be used? Gotta give me a nerve! Qiu Daluo had some regrets and complaints, but he didn't intend to waste that jet-black pill. He took out the porcelain bottle from his body, carefully packed it, and began to clean up the medicine bottles and gourds that had been placed on the table.
Seeing that Qiu Da was not in a hurry, Xiao Yu began to be anxious: "You have to come up with a way quickly, Jiang Li can't wait like this now." ā
As soon as Xiao Yu spoke, he also realized that he was too anxious, is this still his usual calm and steady self? Why did he panic when he encountered Jiang Li's matter? Is this called emotion? When did you get so deep? - Xiao Yu frowned with some annoyance.
Seeing that Qiu's eyebrows were raised slightly, he was not afraid of being teased by him, and pleaded again with his eyes: "Please also ask the eldest brother to take an idea with his heart." ā
Qiu Da laughed very happily, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's rare that the fifth brother asks me for an idea, how can I not care." Now it's important to bring the heat down for her. So, take her back to Qingfeng Village, there is a cold pool in the cave where I use to store medicinal herbs, and I can temporarily lower the fire for her. With this antidote pill, I should be able to make an antidote as well. ā
Xiao Yu saw that Qiu Da's expression was relaxed, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did I think of asking, "Have you caught those men in black?" Has the tapestry been recovered? ā
Look at him, he's forgotten such an important thing! Xiao Yu couldn't help but reach out and stroke his forehead.
Qiu Da stretched out his hand and pointed out the outside of the car, "Everyone is outside, and the people who have been caught are already dead." ā
"Really?! Check it out. Xiao Yu got up and walked out of the carriage, and Qiu Da also got out of the car.
Dozens of fast horses stopped outside the car, and the horses flicked their tails and snorted from time to time. Dozens of gray-clothed men were silently waiting for orders outside the car, but when they saw Xiao Yu get out of the car, someone in the crowd lit torches.
More than a dozen torches formed a circle, and in the middle of the circle lay several corpses of black-clad masked men foaming at the mouth and twisting their bodies. The black scarves covering their faces had been ripped to their chins, and some of the corpses had sword wounds.
Dumb pointed to the two bodies and said, "I led people to secretly follow Zhou Hong, and when I walked halfway up the mountain, these two people jumped out and killed Zhou Hong." It took a lot of effort for me to catch them. The descent was fine, and they were only slightly injured, so they couldn't walk a few steps if they didn't want to. ā
"They must have taken the poison beforehand." Qiu Da explained.
"I caught two more." Sixi did not show weakness, and said a little proudly: "I chased the two black-clothed people out of the Guanyin Nunnery, I wanted to see where they went, but I didn't want them to go around a few times and come back." Then another man in black came, who said that he had handed over his hand, and ordered the two men to light a fire. ā
"Oh? What do they light the fire for? Xiao Yu and Qiu Da looked at each other and asked at the same time.
