Chapter 200: Night Banquet (7)
The water pavilion was already full of laughter and laughter, singing and dancing.
Unless he tore his face with Xiao Pengju and others in person, he could only pinch his nose and endure this idle breath. Xiao Pengcheng also thanked Zong Zhengke with a smile, thanking her for seeing through the mystery in the incense lamp and saving herself from the risk of dispersion.
Because he himself couldn't be sure if there was really a snake swallowing lotus in the spice, in addition to the fragrant float for the white rhino antidote pill. He doesn't understand spices. This qiē arrangement was ordered by his good sister Xiao Juejue. It's really possible to add more condiments.
Occasionally catching a glimpse of the faint fierce light in Xiao Pengcheng's eyes, Xiao Pengju secretly sneered. Xiao Juejue, as the only daughter of Xiao Hongluan and King Rinjun, has a noble status, and has always been unpretentious to her younger brothers. Others are just fine, Xiao Pengcheng is the eldest son, his biological father is the son of a well-known family, and he is Xiao Hongluan's side husband, and his status is also not light. It is impossible to say that Xiao Pengcheng has no idea about his mother's family business.
Therefore, the relationship between Xiao Juejue's sisters and brothers can be heard by outsiders, not to mention that Xiao Pengju is a person who has long known it. He toasted with Xiao Langlang and others, then grabbed Xiao Pengcheng's shoulder, and the two of them met head to talk. Those who don't know the truth will really think that the brothers are good brothers when they see it.
Not long after, Xiao Pengcheng actually came to toast Zong Zhengke under the leadership of Xiao Pengju. This time, the smile on his face was much more genuine. A slight smile appeared on Zong Zhengke's lips, and he could guess with his knees that Xiao Pengcheng was afraid that something was moved by Xiao Pengju.
"Cousin Zongzheng, there are many misunderstandings today, the little brother is really ashamed! The younger brother does it first as respect, and the cousin is just free to do it. Xiao Pengcheng raised his glass with a smile, tilted his neck to drink the wine in the cup, and then showed the bottom of the glass to Zong Zhengke. Sure enough, there was no wine left.
Zong Zhengke stood up, she drank fruit wine, although it also tasted wine, but it was not intoxicating. She also drank the green fruit wine in the cup, and said softly: "They are all close relatives, so you don't have to be so polite." Just talk about it, and that's it. But. Eighteen cousins. With all due respect, it's better to wear less jade pendant on your waist. ”
Xiao Pengcheng looked down at the round bi hanging down on the jade belt, and asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”
Zong Zhengke didn't answer first. Instead, he gestured, "Can you solve it for me?" ”
Xiao Pengcheng untied the round waist as he said, and handed it to Zong Zhengke with both hands. Zong Zhengke didn't take it with his hands, but wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in front of his nose to sniff it. After a moment, he frowned in disgust.
Xiao Pengju asked with concern, "Cousin, how is it?" ”
Zong Zhengke sighed. With a sympathetic look on his face, he said to Xiao Pengcheng: "But I don't know who you offended cousin, and you actually used such vicious means to harm you." This piece had been soaked in potions, and its smell was deep and subtle. ”
"If you smell the potion for a long time, your meridians will slowly become narrow, thin and brittle. Martial arts cultivation is naturally greatly reduced. I don't know if my cousin will notice, these months, no matter how hard you have worked. The entry of martial arts is still slow? And for a long time, your cultivation will not increase but regress. Until you become a wreck. Speaking of this, Zong Zhengke sighed again and shook his head.
Xiao Pengju was slightly moved, he didn't expect Zong Zhengke to be so powerful, and he could tell whether something had been manipulated or not just by his sight and sense of smell. Xiao Pengcheng's chest couldn't help but rise and fall, obviously what Zong Zhengke said really happened to him.
Xiao Pengju hurriedly asked, "Cousin, is there a way to crack it?" Glancing at Xiao Pengcheng, whose face was flushed, he said in a low voice, "The eighteenth brother's martial arts talent is excellent, and he is not on par with his sister at a young age, and his father has great expectations for him. Even though his sister was the eldest daughter, his mother was quite fond of him. Once he has lost his cultivation......"
"Xiao Juejue! Father Rin! Xiao Pengcheng squeezed out his voice from between his teeth, low and gloomy.
Xiao Peng raised his eyes and quickly smiled. Zong Zhengke lowered his head slightly, and after thinking carefully, he said: "If the time is still shallow, it is not impossible. I don't know ...... cousin."
"Two months ago, on my birthday, Rin's father gave me this round coin, saying that he invited a monk to open the light, which is the best auspicious thing." Xiao Pengcheng stared at the round bi fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "My father also asked the master to identify this thing, and he didn't find anything strange." During this time, I didn't cultivate for a long time, and I thought it was because the foundation was unstable, and I was drunk on wine. Didn't expect ......"
The young man who was younger than himself confessed that he was lazy with wine. Zong Zhengke shook his head secretly. Even if Xiao Pengcheng was not poisoned by this Yuanbi, if he practiced his body like this, his martial arts cultivation would not be much higher in the future.
Xiao Pengcheng looked at Zong Zhengke sharply and begged: "Cousin Ke, please also ask cousin to save my brother." Don't hide it from my cousin, the incense lamp did add incense floats. But my sister was in charge of the arrangement, and my brother was only assigned to entertain his brothers and sisters. ”
Xiao Pengju sighed angrily: "It's really a strategy to kill two birds with one stone, which not only harmed us and others, but also didn't let go of you, the eighteenth brother." Your sister ......," he shook his head again and again, "no matter how jealous of your talent, you are her own brother after all." ”
Xiao Pengcheng sneered and said: "The same mother is not the same father, where are the relatives." Sixteenth brother, it's not that you don't know about my family. My father was quite popular with my mother, and he was never liked by Rin's father. If my father knew that I was plotted, he would be so angry that he would be bedridden. ”
"What's the matter, your father's body hasn't been raised yet?" Xiao Pengju frowned and asked, "Why is your father's body always not getting better?" It should be replaced by a more intelligent healer. ”
The speaker has a heart, and the listener has a heart. Xiao Pengcheng's face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, my father has never been so sick and weak before." In the past two years, he has always fallen ill. On the mother's side, because my father's body and bones are not good, she is also a little cold. ”
Xiao Pengju patted Xiao Pengcheng on the shoulder and comforted: "Eighteenth brother doesn't need to panic, if you can trust your brother, in a few days, my brother will personally help you ask for a doctor, and give your father a good look at what the disease is, why is it not good!" ”
When Xiao Pengcheng heard this, he was so grateful that tears came out, and no matter how many people were mixed at this time, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Pengju twice. Xiao Pengju hurriedly pulled him up and said angrily, "What are you doing here?" My own brother, why bother! ”
Xiao Pengcheng nodded heavily, took Xiao Peng's raised hand, and swore an oath: "Sixteenth brother, as long as you can cure my father, my brother's life will be your brother in the future!" ”
Xiao Pengju naturally had to say a few words of relief, and Zong Zhengke only spoke at this time, so he could try to prepare an antidote prescription for Xiao Pengcheng. Xiao Pengcheng was grateful, looking at the appearance, he didn't know how affectionate he was to the two, he was really like a close relative.
As for their words, how sincere they are, and whether there are still entanglements of interests in them, only they know by themselves. (To be continued)
