Chapter Twenty-Nine: Poison

"Huh?" Zhu Muxuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Qin Zhao and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, I know what kind of poison you have, Lord Lord. Qin Zhao had a confident expression.

"Really?" Zhu Ting also looked at Qin Zhao, her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief: "What kind of poison?"

After inviting so many alchemists, there are even two fourth-grade alchemists, not to mention curing Zhu Muxuan, none of them can even give him an overview of his condition, and now Qin Zhao actually said that he knows what kind of poison this is?

"This ......" Qin Zhao glanced at Zhu Muxuan before saying, "You two should avoid it first." ”

"What do you mean?" The old man named Qiu Shi looked at Qin Zhao's suspicious eyes and suddenly became angry again: "We are the closest people to the city lord, what can't we listen to?!"

"Don't get too excited, it's not good for your heart. Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Let you avoid it just because there are some words that are only suitable for the city lord to hear." ”

"Pretend!" Qiu Shi said unceremoniously, "Who knows if you will make anything ...... when we leave"

"Report - Lord City Lord, those two people from the Star Sect insist on seeing you. Qiu Shi's words were interrupted again.

"Who is the Dian Xing Sect?" asked Zhu Muxuan with a frown.

"The three elders of the Dian Xing Sect, as well as the eldest lady of the Nangong lineage. The guard replied, "I said that I heard that the city lord was poisoned and was looking for an alchemist, so he wanted to do his part, and they also brought some elixirs. ”

Zhu Muxuan tapped a few times on the handle of the chair, hesitated, and asked, "Xiaoting, you said you couldn't see them." ”

"The Dian Xing Sect has cooperated with our City Lord's Mansion because of the matter of the pill business, so it is not only inappropriate to keep them out in this way, but it has a desire to cover it up," Zhu Ting said slowly: "The three elders of the Dian Xing Sect also seem to be the refiners of the peak of the three grades...... Maybe...... With his knowledge, he can know the poison in you, father......"

The first half of Zhu Ting's sentence makes sense, and it is suspicious to avoid it, but the second half of the sentence has the meaning of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, and even the real fourth-grade alchemist is helpless against Zhu Muxuan's poison, let alone a third-grade alchemist.

"Then let them in, but forget about the treatment, and no one must let the people of the Star Sect know the truth and the truth. Zhu Muxuan leaned back in his chair as he spoke, deliberately showing a weak look.

If he pretends to be fine, he will probably be recognized by the three elders of the Star Sect, but if he deliberately shows a weak appearance, it will make others feel confused, false and real, and they don't know whether it is true or false.

The corners of Qin Zhao's mouth moved slightly, it seemed that these people didn't believe what he just said at all, but he didn't say anything, and there would be a time when they would regret it.

A few minutes later, an old man walked in with a young girl.

"Dianxing Sect, Nangong Shi, I have seen the city lord. ”

"Nangong Minghe has seen the city lord. ”

There is no doubt that this Nangong Shi is the third elder of the Dian Xing Sect. And the eldest lady of the Dian Xing Sect is Nangong Minghe.

Today's Nangong Minghe seems to have dressed up specially, and a black dress perfectly shows off the already exaggerated figure, which makes people can't take their eyes off it.

Zhu Ting frowned when she saw Nangong Minghe and Nangong Shi, she thought that the Dianxing Sect had sent someone to talk about business matters, but it seemed that Nangong Minghe's expression seemed to have another purpose......

Qin Zhao saw Nangong Minghe, she naturally saw Qin Zhao too, of course, she didn't recognize Qin Zhao after the disguise, but recognized Xia Qingwu next to her, but the two were not familiar with each other, so they only glanced at each other and didn't say much.

"No need to be polite. Zhu Muxuan leaned back on the chair and moved his hand gently: "I didn't see it before because I was unwell, I hope you forgive me." ”

"The lord of the castle is serious. Nangong Shi arched his hand and said, but there was some surprise in his eyes: Zhu Muxuan's poison has reached such a point?

Although the Dianxing Sect and the Zhu family have some business cooperation, after all, one is in Yunyang City and the other is in Qingxuan City, and the relationship is not particularly close, plus Zhu Muxuan has always claimed that he was injured and poisoned by a demonic beast, which is not serious, so Nangong Shi, like Xia Qingwu before, thought that he was fine, but now it seems that this is not the case......

However, what makes Nangong Shi even more strange is that it stands to reason that Zhu Xuan should try his best to conceal it because he was poisoned so deeply, why did he not hide it in front of him? Could it be that Zhu Muxuan deliberately pretended to do so? What is the purpose?

For a while, countless thoughts flashed through Nangong Shi's mind, but his face did not change, and he continued: "The situation of the City Lord seems to be a little bad, it just so happens that I am not far from the Fourth Rank Alchemist, why don't you let me help the City Lord take a look?"

Zhu Muxuan naturally didn't agree, and said, "Don't bother, Xu Danshi has already helped me see it, and he said it's okay." ”

"Master Xu Dan, but Master Xu Xing?" asked Nangong Shi.

"Exactly. Zhu Muxuan nodded.

Xu Xing is the strongest fourth-grade alchemist in Qingxuan City.

"Since Master Xu Xing said that it was okay, then he was relieved. Nangong Shi's frowning brows relaxed, and it seemed that he was really relieved for Zhu Muxuan.

He also knew that Zhu Muxuan would not let him find out the true situation, so he simply stopped dwelling on this matter, and instead said: "Originally, I came to discuss the matter of the shop with you today, but since you are not feeling well, Lord City, then we will talk about it another day." ”

Nangong Shi said and took out a brocade box from the Sumeru bag: "This is a part of the sect master's heart, and I hope you will accept it." ”

"Thank you very much. Zhu Muxuan didn't refuse, and asked Zhu Ting to accept it.

"Minghe, let's go back. Nangong Shi said.

"Huh?" Nangong Minghe was stunned for a moment, and then left? It seems that he hasn't said anything about the business yet, right?

Seeing this, Qin Zhao chuckled and said, "It turns out that there are already fourth-grade alchemists who have shown it to the city lord, no wonder they don't look down on me, a little third-grade alchemist, and I have also retired." ”

"Huh?" Nangong Shi and Nangong Minghe, who were about to leave, paused, a third-grade alchemist?

The two couldn't help but look back at Qin Zhao in shock.

Zhu Muxuan was also surprised, didn't he say it could be cured just now? Why are you leaving again now?

Zhu Ting reacted first, and immediately said: "It's not that I didn't believe Childe just now, but I was interrupted by the guards, since Childe didn't want us to hear, we went out first." With that, he walked outside with Qiu Shi first.

At this time, Nangong Shi and Nangong Minghe had not left, and Zhu Ting was afraid that she would talk too much, so she was very decisive.

Zhu Ting said so, and the others couldn't stay here, so they walked out one after another.

However, Xia Qingwu and the gray-robed man did not move.

"Gongzi Qin really knows what kind of poison I have?" asked Zhu Muxuan after the others left.

"Of course I do, and I can cure it. ”

Although Zhu Muxuan didn't believe it, it could be seen that Qin Zhao was so confident, and there was still a look of expectation in his eyes: "How to solve it?"

Qin Zhao didn't say much nonsense, took out a dagger from the Qiankun bag and said, "You take a look at this first." ”

As he spoke, Qin Zhao stabbed the tip of the dagger into Zhu Muxuan's arm, and then with a slight stroke, a wound several inches long appeared on his arm.

Zhu Muxuan frowned, but before he could ask, Qin Zhao asked again, "Do you see it?"

Zhu Xuanyan looked at his arm, and under the wound, a black insect the size of a fingernail was adsorbed into his flesh. Zhu Muxuan's arm shook violently in fright, and he almost didn't throw the dagger in Qin Zhao's hand away.

"What is this?!"

"This is what makes you 'poisoned', in fact, this is not poison, but a kind of Gu worm that feeds on the host's aura, but before that, they have to grow up in the human body for at least a year before they can suck the aura, and during this year, someone needs to constantly feed it with special elixir. ”

"So I was poisoned a year ago?" asked Zhu Xuan.

"yes, and you've been fed by people all year round, so ......"

"......" Zhu Muxuan didn't know how to answer for a while, everything Qin Zhao said was simply too unbelievable, but the worm was in his arm, and he couldn't believe it.

"They?" Zhu Muxuan noticed Qin Zhao's words: "Could it be that there is more than one?"

"There are five of them, two on your back, two on your abdomen, and one in your arm, which are the five places I have pierced with the silver needle before. Qin Zhao reminded: "I don't know if the city lord still remembers that when I used the silver needle to test the Gu worm before, that Qiu Shi seemed to ask me a word?"

"You mean......" Zhu Muxuan stood up suddenly, finally understanding why Qin Zhao wanted to talk to him about these things alone.
