Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The staple food of dinner is green fern mushroom fish porridge, Xia Lan has never been too concerned about food nutrition intake, he has always cared about the safety of food.

In the past few days, his mind has suddenly felt a trace of restlessness, as a high-ranking powerhouse, his mind has always been accurate in the warning of danger, he believes that this feeling will not appear for no reason, there is chance and there is inevitable, maybe somewhere he does not know, danger has begun to creep closer.

Every day's food will be tested under the strict supervision of the Earl of Heather, poisoning is a common method of assassination, and every noble lord will be extremely cautious in matters related to their own lives, so poisoning assassination is difficult to work on nobles, if you want to succeed, unless you secretly buy everyone to test food safety.

After eating a large pot of green fern and fish porridge under the service of the maid, this kind of semi-liquid food is easy to swallow, especially in the case of serious damage to the body and poor appetite, this kind of food is both nutritious and satisfying.

Leaning on the bed, waving his hand to rebuke the maid in the room, and taking out the recovery potion specially made for him by Carl Lun and taking it, Xia Lan closed his eyes, and the air flow in his body quickly cooperated with the effect of the potion to nourish the damaged internal tissues of his body in his chest.

The airflow remaining in Bai Xize's body has always been the biggest problem for him to recover, every time the airflow and medicinal effect in Xia Lantong Guò's body slowly heals the torn tissue structure in his chest, and the qi remaining in Bai Xize's body will struggle violently to resist, and as a result, the place where he finally recovered will tear again in an instant, and so on, the recovery of the body will naturally be extremely slow.

However. The qi that remained in Bai Xize's body was also gradually weakening as he was treated. The struggle and resistance will no longer be as intense as it was at the beginning. In the long run, sooner or later, Xia Lan will be able to get rid of them completely.

When night fell, the goose feather snow was still falling outside the window, the howling cold wind frequently poured into the cold breath through the cracks in the window, and the fire burning at the fireplace was warm, which was naturally not to be feared.

Crackling -

The room was deserted and quiet, the wood crackled as it burned, and the air smelled faintly smoky. In such a peaceful and comfortable environment, people gradually became sleepy, and after a while, Xia Lan on the bed actually snored softly and fell asleep.

Quietly, silently.

Click-

Suddenly, the doorknob of the door turned slowly, and the slight sound was inaudible, and the door opened from the outside to the inside.

A dark shadow appeared in front of the crack in the door and paused for a moment, as the dark shadow's deep, narrow eyes stared at the person on the bed in the distance for a long time, and seemed to see an arc in the darkness.

The door opened, the door closed.

And there was an extra dark shadow in the room that didn't belong here.

The dark shadow looked very cautious. Looking around for a moment, he began to walk to someone's place on the bed.

His steps were light. It seems that every step is like walking on thin ice, with caution.

When he appeared in front of the bed, the expected accident and danger had not yet occurred, and he held his breath and stared, and suddenly a dagger glowing with cold light suddenly appeared in the black shadow's hand.

Lift it high and fall!

"Bang-"

There was a loud bang, and I saw the black shadow scream, and the whole person hung on the wall of the room and slowly fell, and the dagger in his hand fell beside him with a crisp sound at the same time.

"Y-how is that possible!?"

The black shadow spat blood from his mouth, and his eyes were full of incredulity.

Xia Lan stared at the strange guest in front of him with cold and indifferent eyes, coughed slightly, he slowly stood up from the bed, and a long sword glowing blue appeared in his hand.

"Are you trying to ask why the hypnotic psychedelic substance added to the wood didn't work for me?"

Xia Lan seemed to see through the other party's mind and said coldly.

"You... You even know? The dark shadow said with wide eyes in surprise.

"It's just a common method of assassination, all I can say is that you're too tender, Miss Maid!"

Xia Lan sneered, her eyes staring at the true face of the dark shadow under the wall with disdain.

That's right, this dark shadow is the maid who has been serving Xia Lan these days!

As for hypnotic psychedelic substances, Xia Lan used to use this kind of thing when he assassinated some people due to system missions, so after he smelled the abnormal smell of smoke in the air, Xia Lan immediately held his breath and began to pretend to be asleep.

"I didn't expect me to fail."

The maid picked up the dagger at her feet, stretched out her hand to support the wall and stood up tremblingly, her face was very pale, it seemed that Xia Lan's sudden attack just now caused her body to suffer internal injuries from Yanzhòng.

"Still, Lord Charan seems to have neglected one place."

The maid was smiling, and her beautiful face looked very attractive.

When Xia Lan heard this, his brows furrowed, because he thought of something unpleasant.

"As you may have guessed, the porridge I served you drank was filled with colorless and tasteless poison!" The maid sneered subtly, "Now do you feel that there are countless ants gnawing at you in your body?" Of course, although this poison can't kill you, it is tantamount to making things worse for your current physical condition, even if you are a high-ranking powerhouse? Eventually, you're going to die at my hands! ”

"It's a very secret poison, and it's done at the right time." Xia Lan said expressionlessly.

"No, you're wrong, it's not just right, it's expected, because this poison specifically targets the air flow in the strong person's body, and the more the air flow works, the stronger the poison effect." The maid clenched the dagger in her hand and stared at Xia Lan and sneered.

"Why didn't I show up when I was using the airflow to heal my body?" Xia Lan asked.

"Because the airflow is not released." The maid explained seemingly kindly.

"I see."

Xia Lan nodded.

"So you can die!"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Lan took a step, and her figure instantly came to the other party's approach, and the long sword in her hand suddenly slashed at the maid's neck.

The maid had been vigilant for a long time, but she didn't expect the other party's recovery to be so fast, and the dagger slashed at the opponent's falling long sword, and rolled a few times towards the ground to dodge the opponent's next attack.

"A warrior who can't use the air flow is waste!"

Feeling the strength of the dagger blocking the long sword just now, the maid sneered in a vigilant battle posture.

"Why do you need to use the air flow in your body to deal with a warrior of the middle realm, just swordsmanship can kill you lightly." The long sword stood horizontally in front of him, and Xia Lan said calmly.

"Arrogance!"

After the maid glanced at Xia Lan angrily, her body quickly rushed towards Xia Lan, and the silver dagger shone with an incomparably cold surge.

Xia Lan held the sword in both hands, the hand holding the sword was very steady, he didn't move, even when the other party was about to rush in front of him.

Boom –

Only in an instant, the moment the two made contact, Xia Lan's footsteps moved, narrowly avoiding the other party's deadly dagger, and the long sword clenched in both hands quietly slashed sideways.

The maid's mouth opened wide, and her vision swirled in darkness, and in a blur, she seemed to see her headless body, with a column of blood gushing from her neck......

"The gap is the gap, and you will never understand the realm of the superior."

Looking at the wide-eyed pale head of the maid not far away, Xia Lan shook his head, and then, he fell to the ground. (To be continued......)
