Chapter 11 Rouge Tears Stay Drunk
In the middle of the night, in the comfort room of the inn:
Shu Yan and Shangguan Jin sat across the table, and the dim lights were on and off.
"Brother Shangguan, can you get something?" Shu Yan asked.
"Brother Shu, as expected, there is indeed something strange about the affairs of the Eastern Regions." Shangguan Jin shook the folding fan lightly and smiled, his expression was very interesting.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Shu Yan wondered.
"According to the report from the inner line of Wind Forest City, the incident in the Eastern Regions was indeed caused by the civil strife in Wind Forest City, and I also heard that the Venerable Order of Wind Forest City was stolen a few days ago, and the right protector Limo was killed. But what's even more interesting is ......" Shangguan Jin suddenly put away the folding fan, looked at Shu Yan with a smile, and said naughtily: "Brother Shu, you might as well guess." ”
"Brother Shangguan," Shu Yan said helplessly, "Don't sell Guanzi." ”
"Hehe," Shangguan Jin re-unfolded the folding fan and shook it gently, "What's even more interesting is that I also saw this right protector yesterday. ”
"Oh!" Shu Yan was surprised: "Brother Shangguan, can you see clearly, is it really Limo himself?" ”
"It's true, I always have a good memory in Xia, not to mention that I had a 'good friendship' with him before Xia." Shangguan Jin remembered the past and couldn't help but laugh even more interestingly.
"Brother Shangguan, if he hears it, I'm afraid he will have to fight with you again." Shu Yan also remembered the incident of Shangguan Jin's pit leaving ink back then, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"Brother Shu doesn't know, this is called not fighting, not knowing each other." Shangguan Jin said confidently, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Limo at all.
Shu Yan: "......"
"I don't know how Brother Shu's affairs are going?" Shangguan Jin asked casually.
Hearing this, Shu Yan couldn't help but fall into silence, looking at the dim light in a daze without saying a word, Shangguan Jin seemed to feel the solemnity of the atmosphere, and only put away the folding fan and looked at Shu Yan suspiciously. The room suddenly fell silent, and the sound of the 'crackling' candle burning woke Shu Yan up, only to see Shu Yan smile bitterly and said: "Brother Shangguan, I really can't imagine how it could be him." ”
Shangguan Jin just looked at Shu Yan fixedly, he knew that he only needed to listen at the moment.
Shu Yan continued: "Father has always treated him very well, how can he ......?"
Shangguan Jin stepped forward and patted Shu Yan's shoulder to comfort him.
Three months ago, the old man Shu, the head of the Shu family, was plotted and fell into a coma. Even the old man Tao Shuotao, known as the "miracle doctor", was helpless, only saying that he was poisoned by "staying drunk", and wanted to make the old man Shu wake up, and only by finding the "rouge tears" that matched him could he detoxify. Because "staying drunk" is different from other poisons, Tao's predecessors did not dare to take drugs, so they could only let Shu Yan go to find Hutu, because only Hutu Hu would prepare "rouge tears" in the world today.
Legend has it that a hundred years ago, there was an extremely loving couple surnamed Hu, the husband was a famous knight, and the wife was also a strange woman who was proficient in medicine and poison, and the rivers and lakes jokingly called them "fairy couples". However, the husband was plotted to have a relationship with a woman in an outing, but the husband was still a person with a strong sense of responsibility, and took the woman as a concubine, and the wife hated her husband's betrayal of herself, so she researched a colorless and tasteless poison to trick her husband into drinking it, and named it "Xiangliu Drunk", which was intended to commemorate the broken friendship between the two. But seeing her husband's increasingly weak body, she finally relented, so she developed an antidote, named "Rouge Tears", which was intended to hate her soft-heartedness. It's just that the wife didn't expect that the two herbs were very compatible, and although she saved her husband's life, she also lost a lot of money and died soon. The husband knew that he couldn't live with his wife and didn't blame her, but the two couldn't go back to the past after all. A few years later, the husband died, and the wife followed not long after, but no one knows who the "rouge tears" and "drunkenness" fell into. And the old man Hutuhu is the descendant of the concubine.
Those who are "drunk" will fall into a deep sleep, and if there is no antidote, they will exhaust their energy in their sleep and die, and if they find the antidote, they must take it within three months. Otherwise, under the collision of medicinal properties, if there is not enough physical resistance, it will only accelerate death. And Old Man Shu can only support him for four months because of his strong martial arts and deep internal strength. And now there are only four months left, and in the past three months, Shu Yan has traveled all over the world to find medicinal materials to make "rouge tears", and on the other hand, he has sent two groups of people to investigate his father's poisoning, one in the light and the other in the dark. And now the evidence has been obtained to prove that the murderer is Yun Yixiang, the brother of Old Man Shu.
Shu Yan lost his mother when he was five years old, his father vowed not to marry again in grief, Yun Yixiang is Shu Shuo's sworn brother, his appearance is handsome, gentle as jade, and sincere, Shu Yan was extremely close to him when he was young, even if he later knew that he was mixed with his father, instead of disgusting and contempt, he respected him as half a father, Shu Shuo and Yun Yixiang have a very good relationship, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a promise of life and death, so when Shu Yan knew that he had assassinated his father, he would be so sad and shocked.
Shu Shuo and Yun Yixiang are Shangguan Jin, who is extremely secretive, but can't hide the well-informed, everyone knows that Shangguan Fort is most famous for the method of exploration and concealment. But in fact, the most powerful thing about Shangguan Fort is the news, the legend of the all-knowing Tingfeng Tower is the industry of Shangguan Fort, and Shangguan Jin is the current owner of Tingfeng Tower, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called "jade-faced foxes". It's just that I don't know that the jade-faced fox is Shangguan Jin.
So when Shu Yan said bitterly how could it be him, Shangguan Jin knew that he was talking about Yun Yixiang.
Shu Yan already knew that his father's murder was committed by internal thieves, and the reason why he had been staying in the inn for the past few days was that on the one hand, he handed over the medicinal materials he had found to Mr. Hu and asked Mr. Hu to help make medicines; On the other hand, they waited for the results of the investigation, but they did not expect to wait for such a result.
"Brother Shu, how are you going to deal with this matter?" Shangguan Jin asked softly.
"Let Brother Shangguan smile," Shu Yan was the leader of the martial arts alliance after all, and he adjusted his mentality after a while, "Naturally, I went to ask him why he was like this, and where did my father not stand with him?" ”
Then he said: "Senior Hu can make 'rouge tears' tomorrow...... Hey~" Shu Yan then sighed again.
Shangguan Jin received: "It's just that there is still a lack of medicine, and what this medicine is only known to Yun Yixiang Yun's predecessors." ”
"Exactly!"
"Isn't it dangerous to Ling Zun now?" Shangguan Jin seemed to have just thought of it, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Shu Yan said with a strange expression: "The secret agent sent back the news, Uncle Yun has been taking care of his father for the past three months, which can be described as doing his best, and sometimes he will suspect that he is mistaken, but this clear evidence all shows that he is the one who assassinated his father, to be honest, I don't understand him now." ”
Shangguan Jin thought for a while and said, "Since you can't figure it out, you have to go back and ask him." Brother Shu, let's rest early. ”
"Brother Shangguan, wait a minute, my father's affairs, I want to deal with it myself, as for which Miss Lin will trouble Brother Shangguan to take care of it." Shu Yan saw that Shangguan Jin wanted to leave, so he immediately said.
"Thank you Brother Shu for your kindness, and you have handed over such a beautiful gift to you." Shangguan Jin immediately thanked him.
"Brother Shangguan, you!" Shu Yan couldn't laugh or cry. Even the heavy mood is much lighter. couldn't help but sigh, to be able to get such a confidant in this life, it is really a death without regrets.
Early the next morning, Shu Yan returned to Shufu with a kind of entourage.
When Lin Yue'er went downstairs to eat, she found that Shangguan Jin was the only one, and Shu Yan and his entourage were gone, so she couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Playboy, why are you alone, Shu Yan and them?" ”
Shangguan Jin looked Lin Yue'er up and down, and said, "I haven't seen her for a few days, but the girl's makeup is much more stable than before." ”
Is he being sarcastic about himself? "I haven't seen you for a few days, Shangguan Gongzi is a little haggard, could it be that something unpleasant happened, or was he dumped by the girl he had a crush on?" Lin Yue'er immediately fought back, not to be outdone.
Funny, really like a fried little wild cat! Shangguan Jin didn't speak, just looked at her with a smile rather than a smile.
Where is he looking? moved down along Shangguan Jin's realization, but found that he was looking at his chest, and immediately thought that he was attracted to himself, and he straightened up quite arrogantly, and said proudly: "Pervert, what to see!" Then he rolled his eyes and went upstairs, and when he left, he didn't forget to say to the shopkeeper: "Send this girl's food to the room." A series of actions made Shangguan Jin look at him with a chill, and even the breeze hiding in the shadows was thundered.
Shangguan Jin couldn't help but sympathize with Qingfeng, who had been monitoring Lin Yue'er, and arched his hand into the void: "Hard work! ”
After hearing this, Qingfeng couldn't help but silently wipe his face and continue to monitor.
