Chapter 21: Poisoning (2)
said that Si Yang followed Lan Zhi to Xinfeng Courtyard last night, and saw Lan Zhi and the girl enter the house, but she leaned on the roof and listened carefully, but she couldn't hear the slightest sound. The sky began to snow again, and Si Yang was freezing enough, but since she had already come here, she wanted to wait patiently, not allowing Lan Zhi to come out in a while, she could still follow the vine to investigate.
But she waited and waited and waited and waited until the snow accumulated a thick layer on the roof, and Lan Zhi remained in the house. Si Yang had no choice but to return to Hu Weiwei.
When I arrived at the dormitory, it was the end of the clock (5 o'clock). Yuan Qiaoqiao waited all night, she was already angry, Si Yang coaxed for a long time, and finally extinguished her vinegar, and then heard someone knocking on the door. When she opened the door, she saw Lan Zhi standing outside the door.
Yuan Qiaoqiao began to glare at Si Yang again. Si Yang coughed lightly: "Lan Zhi, so early." She glanced at Yuan Qiaoqiao, who was eyeing her, and still resisted the pressure and said, "Happy New Year." โ
Lan Zhi also responded politely, and replied, "Lord Duan, please come to my room and sit down." โ
Si Yang was stunned. She didn't expect Duan Ling to be in Lan Zhi's dormitory at this time, and she didn't know why he was looking for herself and Yuan Qiaoqiao. She glanced at Yuan Qiaoqiao, and saw a trace of panic flashing in Yuan Qiaoqiao's eyes, and immediately had a bad premonition in her heart.
But when the deputy envoy summoned her, she couldn't shirk it, so she had to go next door with Yuan Qiaoqiao.
When you step into Lan Zhi's dormitory, you will see a red water. Speaking of which, when this dormitory was just assigned to Lan Zhi, Si Yang had come a few times, but Duan Ling helped Lan Zhi renovate it a few days ago, and now that she looks at it, she almost doesn't know each other.
The wooden cot was replaced by a carved bed, with a water-red curtain, a water-red futon and water-red sheets. This style was obviously not Lan Zhi's preference, but she still obeyed Duan Ling and used it silently. A square table and a small couch were added to the room. On the square table are bright bronze mirrors and a variety of make-up ornaments, filled with rouge gouache jewelry. Si Yang had never seen Lan Zhi use these things, but Duan Ling still bought them for her in three days. This made Si Yang feel a little weird, as if he ...... Duan Ling didn't ask Lan Zhi for his opinion.
Duan Ling was sitting in the chair at this time, and the saber was placed on the coffee table beside him. The man was dressed in an ochre-colored suit, and the hem of his shirt revealed the corner of the aqua red cushion, a calm dark red with a bright red, which was extremely festive. Si Yang didn't dare to slack off, and bowed down to salute. Duan Ling waved his hand, motioned for the two to sit down, and said with a hook of the corners of his mouth: "Lan Zhi, show tea to the guests." โ
Lan Zhi took the teapot from the coffee table and filled it with tea for Si Yang and Yuan Qiaoqiao. Duan Ling stared at Si Yang with a smile: "Please use it." โ
It was obviously a courtesy, but Duan Ling's tone was unquestionable, as if he was giving an order. Si Yang Yuan Qiaoqiao glanced at her, and saw that her face was getting more and more ugly, and she knew that something was wrong. But seeing Yuan Qiaoqiao looking back, he lowered his head for a moment, his fingertips trembled slightly, brought the tea to his mouth, and drank it all.
Si Yang only felt his heart sink!
Duan Ling and Lan Zhi may not be able to see it really, but she clearly knows that Yuan Qiaoqiao has a โกโก antidote powder hidden between her fingernails, no matter what โกโก she encounters, as long as she takes this medicinal powder, she can be safe for half a day. And just now she sprinkled the powder into the tea.
- Yuan Qiaoqiao won't take โกโก solution powder for no reason, she must know that this cup of tea is poisonous, so she wants to try to save herself first.
- But although Duan Ling's summoning was sudden, she followed the usual etiquette, how could she know that the tea was poisonous?
- Could it be...... She gave this poison herself?
As soon as this idea came out, Si Yang was shocked and panicked! She looked at Duan Ling. The standardized false smile on the man's face had not faded, but his gaze had already been killed. Obviously, she didn't guess wrong, and to make matters worse, Duan Ling discovered Yuan Qiaoqiao's small movements. Thinking that he called the two of them together, he suspected that Yuan Qiaoqiao had poisoned Lan Zhi, and Yuan Qiaoqiao's reaction confirmed his guess.
Si Yang sighed in his heart. Yuan Qiaoqiao acted willfully and viciously, she already knew it. In the decades that the two have been getting along, Yuan Qiaoqiao has poisoned several women because of inexplicable jealousy. But it was only because Yuan Qiaoqiao was a good hand at cultivating Gu in Huwei Chinese medicine, and those dead women had no backstage, that the matter was bothered by Si Yang to cover it up.
But now the person who moves Yuan Qiao is Lan Zhi. Lan Zhi herself is insignificant, but Duan Ling behind Lan Zhi is not something that the two of them can afford to provoke. Regarding this, she had already reminded Yuan Qiaoqiao. It's just that...... I think it was because she chased Lan Zhi last night that made Yuan Qiaoqiao very annoyed, but this person was actually dizzy and did something poisoning. Now that the evidence is conclusive, Duan Ling, as the deputy envoy of Huweiwei, wants to deal with the two of them, it is not easy!
Si Yang didn't drink the tea, but smashed the teacup to the ground! In the sound of porcelain shattering, she stood up abruptly and slapped Yuan Qiaoqiao hard! Scolded: "Fool! Don't kneel yet! โ
Yuan Qiaoqiao didn't expect Si Yang to slap himself, and he was stunned for a while. She has been spoiled by Si Yang for many years, and she has a very big temper, and when she reacted, she wanted to scold back, but she met Si Yang's unexpectedly stern gaze. She has always been willful, but she is not a person who does not know the seriousness, she dared to poison Lan Zhi last night, because she saw Lan Zhi show that she liked women in public, and guessed that Duan Ling would feel humiliated after learning the news, and she would never see Lan Zhi again, but unexpectedly, Duan Ling didn't care at all, and now she found out about her poisoning, and wanted to stand up for Lan Zhi.
Yuan Qiaoqiao swallowed back the words that came to his lips, pursed his lips and knelt down towards Duan Ling. Si Yang also knelt down with him: "My lord, Yuan Qiaoqiao made a big mistake in a hot head, I will definitely punish her in accordance with military law, and ask my lord to hand her over to me!" โ
Duan Ling had already smiled, looked at Yuan Qiaoqiao coldly, but asked Si Yang, "How to punish him?" โ
Si Yang gritted his teeth secretly: "The rod blames eighty military sticks." โ
Duan Ling chuckled lightly, but the words he said seemed to be frozen ice: "She tried in vain to poison Captain Huweiwei, but she only needed to receive eighty military sticks. Si Qianhu said, which military law is this? โ
Si Yang had no way to argue, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Then according to Lord Duan's intentions, how should he be punished?" โ
As soon as she finished speaking, Duan Ling raised her hand without warning, and went to draw the saber on the coffee table! With the clear sound of the sword weapon coming out of the sheath, a cold light went straight to the top of Yuan Qiaoqiao's head! The man's voice sounded at the same time: "No need to punish! โ
Si Yang's pupils contracted instantly! Twisted around and drew his sword, blocking in front of Yuan Qiaoqiao!
Duan Ling's sword was extremely powerful, Si Yang couldn't resist it, the saber in his hand was heavily pressed, the blade of the sword went straight into his shoulder, and the blood immediately wet his clothes. When Duan Ling saw it, a smile appeared on his face again: "Is Si Qianhu going to die with her?" It's about love and righteousness. "But it's a backhand stab with a sword!
He didn't seem to be able to attack with any effort, but Si Yang was extremely difficult to resist. She kicked Yuan Qiaoqiao away, and she dodged herself, and said urgently: "Lord Duan is angry!" I just ask the adults to let Qiaoqiao go this time, Si Yang is willing to be loyal to the adults in the future! โ
She hid far away, and Duan Ling stood up: "How much ability do you have?" Dare to pledge allegiance to me! Just rely on your half-dead Si family?! Or is it this women's barracks? โ
While speaking, Duan Ling kept attacking. Si Yang was stabbed in the right arm by his sword again, knocked down the square table backwards, and collapsed on the ground. Yuan Qiaoqiao wailed, regardless of Si Yang's protection behind her, and threw herself beside Si Yang.
Duan Ling stood in front of the two of them with his sword, didn't look at Yuan Qiaoqiao, and said to Si Yang slowly: "Kill you, I just happened to help Lan Zhi take over the women's barracks." โ
The man's light brown eyes did not carry the slightest emotion, and the killing intent overflowed like substance, enveloping Si Yang and Yuan Qiaoqiao. But he didn't do it immediately, but tilted his head slightly and softened his voice: "Ah Zhi, borrow your land to kill someone, and I will help you clean it up later." If you don't like it, go out and wait for me. โ
Lan Zhi had been standing behind Duan Ling, silent and invisible. Today's events, if she hadn't been cautious, would have become a corpse by now. It is a matter of life and death, even according to her own personality, it is impossible to let Yuan Qiaoqiao go. It's just that she didn't expect Duan Ling to be so fast, and she was about to kill Yuan Qiaoqiao immediately, and even Si Yang, who was sheltering Yuan Qiaoqiao, didn't let go.
She inexplicably didn't want to see Duan Ling's murderous appearance, hesitated for a moment, or raised her feet to the outsider, but heard Yuan Qiaoqiao say in a trembling voice: "Lord Duan, you don't need Si Yang, what about me?" I am good at medicine and Gu cultivation, and I have always had a lot of โกโก Gu worms hidden in my hands, and I have never handed them over to Hu Weiwei. If you can spare me and Si Yang, I am willing to hand over all these things to you......"
Duan Ling didn't listen to her seriously at all. He saw that Lan Zhi hadn't left the room yet, so he wanted to wait for Lan Zhi to go out before killing the two. But Yuan Qiaoqiao thought that he had seen hope, and his words were a little eager: "I have developed a medicine called Yin Spirit Pill, which can manipulate dead corpses to operate for more than a day and night. I also raised a Gu worm, called Dragon and Phoenix Gu, and planted this worm into a woman's body, which can kill the first man who has sex with her. I ......"
Yuan Qiaoqiao was still in a hurry, but Lan Zhi's footsteps were sluggish. Xiang Jinxiu's information crossed her mind: this person was sexually lewd, and there were nearly 100 women from all over the world in his family......
Dragon and Phoenix Gu ...... It's a good thing.
Yuan Qiaoqiao said a lot, but Duan Ling didn't react at all. Yuan Qiaoqiao finally stopped talking and looked at Si Yang in panic.
Si Yang sighed and hugged Yuan Qiaoqiao in his arms: "Silly girl, don't say it." He doesn't fight for power or profit, so how can he care about these things from you. She patted Yuan Qiaoqiao's shoulder, and coaxed softly as usual: "Don't be afraid, you are going to die, and I will accompany you after all." โ
Duan Ling just looked at Lan Zhi who was walking slowly, but he was very patient. Lan Zhi had made up her mind in her heart, stopped and turned around, walked back to Duan Ling's side, and said in a low voice: "Lord Duan, Yuan Qiaoqiao poisoned me, and I was dizzy for a while when I thought about it. Si Yang didn't mean to harm me. Today is the New Year, and such a good day should not see blood. Spare them this time. โ
