Chapter 805: Assassination
Qiushui didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, just had a gloomy face.
"Where's my stuff? Give it back to me now, I still have urgent matters. Qiushui struggled to get out of bed.
Leng Qiao suddenly stepped forward, pressed Qiu Shuiman's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Don't move, your injuries haven't fully recovered." ”
"How could you walk around with a corpse? And it was a corpse that had been poisoned. Leng Chen said casually.
Qiu Shuiman was shocked at the moment and asked, "You mean that person was poisoned?" Qiu Shuiman stared at Leng Chen in disbelief.
Leng Chen was also taken aback by Qiu Shuiman's fierce reaction, and looked at Qiu Shuiman with some concern: "Yes, the eldest brother said that he was poisoned." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Shuiman immediately realized that the two people in front of him were definitely not ordinary mediocre people, and maybe they could help him find the answer.
Qiu Shuiman thought for a moment and said, "But his lips are not purple, and his face is not blue, how can he be poisoned and die?" ”
Hearing this, Leng Qiao hooked his lips and asked with a smile: "Who told you that if you die of poisoning, you must be blue-faced?" There is a poison that enters a person's body, not only does not make the corpse blue, but makes the corpse ruddy, as if it was alive. ”
"So you know what kind of poison he has?" Qiu Shui twisted his eyebrows, if the assassin was really poisoned and died, then the real murderer must be the county lord of Qiyang, and at that time see what the county lord of Qiyang has to quibble.
Hearing this, Leng Qiao stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a low tone: "What he is in is the poison of our Netherworld Villa, the Nether Flower. ”
Netherworld Flower, Qiu Shuiman said softly, for some reason he felt very strange just hearing this name.
"The one in your room is the Nether Flower ......," Leng Chen smiled as he pointed to the black petals under the mural on the wall.
Qiushui's cold eyes swept away, just now when she looked at this flower, she felt very weird, she didn't expect this flower to be a ghost flower.
"How can you be sure that person has been poisoned by your Nether Flower?" Qiu Shui furrowed her eyebrows, she didn't dare to trust these two people easily now, after all, this matter was very important.
Leng Qiao turned his head, his eyes shrunk, and said, "Follow me and you'll know." ”
The corpse of the Assassin was hidden in the ice vault of Netherworld Villa by the brothers Leng Qiao and Leng Chen, as this was the only way to stop the corpse from decomposing.
Netherworld Villa, as weird as the name is, is the architecture of the entire villa, all of which are black tones, which makes Qiu Shuiman feel extremely depressed.
With its black gazebo and black wood, it looks like a ghost town, and there is only one plant growing here, and that is the Nether Flower.
"Why are there such poisonous flowers planted everywhere here?" Qiu Shui looked at the dark and faint nether flower in the Netherworld Mountain Villa and asked curiously.
"You don't know, my brother and I grew up eating this nether flower." Leng Chen said, looking at the autumn water with clear eyes.
"You grew up eating this poisonous flower?" Qiushui was stunned for a moment, and felt more and more that these two people were not simple.
Besides, since the Nether Flower only grows in the Nether Mountain Villa as they said, how could the Qiyang County Lord have such poison? Could it be that they are in the same group as the county lord of Qiyang?
When he thought of this, Qiu Shuiman was extra wary of Leng Qiao and Leng Chen.
Qiu Shuiman followed them around to the ice vault of Netherworld Villa, and sure enough, he saw the body of the assassin.
"People who have been poisoned by the Nether Flower will have a characteristic, that is, a small black plum blossom will appear on the wrist." Leng Qiao coldly rolled up the sleeves of the corpse, and Qiu Shui Man really saw a small black plum blossom on the assassin's wrist, which was the same as the small plum blossom on Leng Qiao and Leng Chen's faces!
This further confirms what Leng Qiao and Leng Chen said to Qiu Shuiman just now that they grew up with this talk, which is true!
Qiu Shui furrowed his eyebrows, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes and asked, "But didn't you tell me before that this Netherworld Flower is only available in your Nether Villa?" However, the Assassin was not poisoned in Netherworld. ”
Qiu Shuiman was testing the two brothers, wanting to see what the relationship between them and the county lord of Qiyang was.
Hearing this, Leng Qiao sighed lightly and said: "Now this kind of poison is not only in the Netherworld Villa, not long ago, a thief broke into the Netherworld Villa and actually picked a lot of Netherworld flowers, and my brother and I were not in the villa at that time and were succeeded by this thief." ”
Leng Qiao's pupils tightened, and there was a touch of coldness in his eyes.
In this case, could it be said that the person who stole the Nether Flower is the county lord of Qiyang?
"When I met you on the road with my eldest brother last night, I was on the way back to the villa, and we all investigated this matter during the day."
"Since we met you today, can you please do us a favor?" The cold tone softened a little, and he looked at Qiu Shuiman with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Qiu Shuiman nodded, since the two brothers had known each other and saved themselves and helped answer her questions, then they should also exchange gifts.
"Now that the girl has learned something about the Nether Flower, presumably the girl must have been exposed to this poison before, please ask the girl to help us investigate who the person who stole the Nether Flower is, once we find the thief, Leng Chen and I will be grateful."
Hearing this, Qiu Shui twisted his eyebrows and looked at Leng Qiao and said, "Is the Nether Flower very important to you?" ”
Before Leng Qiao could speak, Leng Chen took the lead and said: "Of course it's important, we grew up eating Nether Flowers, we know this toxicity very well, if it spreads to the public, it will cause a big wave, and it will be ruined by that time!" ”
Qiushui vaguely felt that there seemed to be a huge conspiracy hidden behind this matter, which made people feel uneasy every time they thought about it.
"Is there no antidote to this poison?" Qiushui twisted her eyebrows, she understood the power of this poison.
The face of the person who was poisoned did not change in the slightest, and it was completely impossible to tell that it was poisoned, and besides, the world had never heard of this kind of poison, let alone had an antidote.
Leng Qiao didn't speak with a gloomy face, but Leng Chen, who had always been very cheerful, sighed lightly and said, "Yes, only my brother's blood and I can detoxify." ”
"That's because we grew up eating Nether Flowers, and our blood gradually produced substances that can resist toxicity, so that our blood can be detoxified." Leng Qiao stood with his back to him, and the breeze blew his black robe, looking a little faintly gloomy.
Qiu Shuiman finally understood why Leng Qiao and Leng Chen had to find this thief, once this poisonous flower spread, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After Qiu Shuiman agreed to Leng Qiao and Leng Chen's matter, he buried the body and borrowed a horse from Leng Qiao to prepare to rush back to the Qiyang County Lord's Mansion overnight to tell Xiao Jue the news.
Just as she was approaching the Qiyang County Lord's Mansion, she saw Mu Xiaonan's nearby military camp.
"Who are you?!" Outside the military tent, two soldiers stopped Qiushui Man outside the door with a menacing attitude.
"I'm coming to you, General Mu." Autumn water said in a deep voice.
"Looking for us General Mu? Who are you? The soldier didn't believe Qiu Shui Man at all, and stared at her vigilantly.
Qiu Shui was helpless, revealing the droplet-shaped jade pendant between the necks, and when the soldier saw this thing, he knelt on the ground and said: "Please forgive the envoy, we will go in and inform General Mu!" ”
When Qiu Shuiman entered the military tent, he saw Mu Xiaonan sitting on a chair with a pale face, wearing a white robe, and there were still red blood stains on his chest.
"General Mu, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Shui furrowed his eyebrows, staring at the blush on Mu Xiaonan's chest.
Mu Xiaonan's lips were pale and said: "Miss Qiu doesn't know, a few days ago, the assassins broke into the tent and stabbed General Ben. Mu Xiaonan looked a little weak when he said this, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured.
"Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate today's great general? Did the assassins catch it? Qiushuiman twisted his eyebrows, there have been so many things in succession recently, which makes Qiushuiman feel more and more strange about this.
But I can't figure out what the connection between these things is.
Mu Xiaonan said in a deep voice: "I caught it, but it's a pity that he cut himself right now and didn't ask anything." ”
