To the east of Tongbai Mountain in Jigong Mountain, the westernmost part of Dabie Mountain, Qingfen Yuchu, and three rivers are choked, the longitude and latitude of the mountain range are distinct, and the valleys are densely covered vertically and horizontally. Liang Zheng walked all the way, but saw that the stone walls on both sides were like walls, the twin peaks were sandwiched, and there was a mountain in the middle, as if it was split by a sharp axe, the situation was extremely majestic, but the terrain was flat underground, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly:

"Sure enough, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, such a ghostly pass, only a few people are needed to defend it, it is a husband and a man, no wonder Zhao Zhengyang's thousands of elite soldiers will be wiped out here."

While thinking, I looked up, and in the misty clouds, I faintly saw a corner of the walled city flying out, and then I meandered up along the plank road carved out of the cliff.

This plank road is obviously excavated artificially, and I don't know which dynasty and which generation left the relics, now it has long been dilapidated, many places have cracked the gap, all the way up the mountain, the terrain is extremely dangerous, both sides are full of abysses, and the plank road is only more than one person wide, as long as there is a slight person blocking the road, it is impossible to advance. But Liang Zheng went all the way, not only did he not hinder him at all, but he didn't even have a voice to ask.

This time, even he himself couldn't help but feel strange......

Could it be that the famous Chicken Gong Mountain rings horses, and there is not even a single open and dark whistle?

But after thinking about it, I was relieved.

The battle of Qingshi Pass, these ringing horses died, and those who fled, the main force of Jigong Mountain may have been lost, and there are not many people left under the Red Lady, I am afraid that it is only enough to defend the cottage, and then I want to send people to set up a sentry on the plank road, I should have more than enough strength to do so.

Sure enough, it wasn't until he finally stood in front of the gate of the cottage that someone shouted: "What person?!" ”

Liang Zheng said loudly: "Qin gave Liang Zheng, the chief soldier of the Yongning regiment, to visit the big boss." ”

The voice stopped asking, and after a while, the gate of the village opened, and a girl wearing a strong suit and a red scarf walked in, looked him up and down, and said coldly: "You are Liang Zheng?" ”

"Exactly."

The girl looked behind him and said lightly: "You are so daring, you dare to go to the meeting alone?" Do you think you are Guan Yunchang? ”

"In the next session, just a scholar, how dare you compete with a martial saint without the power to restrain the chicken." Liang Zheng said with a smile, "But since the big boss has a fate, he doesn't dare to disobey, so he has to go to the meeting alone." ”

The girl snorted coldly: "Follow me!" ”

As he spoke, he led Liang Zheng into the village.

The two of them went one after the other, bypassed several low walls, turned the stone houses obliquely blocked by several green hedges, and then went all the way north along the fence surrounded by earth and stone. At present, it is a huge gatehouse, majestic and majestic, and it can't help but make people awe-inspired.

Behind the entrance hall is the courtyard, bluestone paving, the gatehouses on both sides are towering, a patio is separated, Liang Zheng is about to enter the palace, the opposite door is open in the ground, two rows of bearded men, all shirtless, showing a piece of muscle, holding a ghost head knife, murderous rush out, standing on the left and right of the patio, followed by a roar of Qi Qi, the left and right double knives cross, forming an arch above Liang Zheng's head, the blade is cold, the weather is severe and terrifying.

Liang Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this kind of formation.

He didn't know that these two teams of sword and axe men were almost all the horses left by the Red Lady, and he walked along the knife road all the way, completely ignoring the nine-ring big knife that might make his head different at any time, took two steps, paused again, and arched his hand towards a big man beside him:

"Excuse me, guy is holding me up, it's in my way."

The big man's face suddenly turned red, and his angry eyes almost erupted with fire.

Liang Zheng laughed, shook his square steps through the knife formation, stepped into the lobby, and saw a large plaque with a black background and muddy gold in the north, with the word "loyalty" written on it, and two square hairpin rosewood chairs under the plaque, cushioned with thick tiger skin. Twenty large boxes were lined up on both sides, and the fire was held high in the hall, and a large urn was erected. The red lady stood with her hands behind her back and stared at him with a smile:

"Lord Liang is so bold, and he is so bold with a knife and axe."

Liang Zheng said with a smile: "I was invited by the big boss to come to taste tea, so I am naturally a guest." Since I am a guest, those swords, guns, swords, and halberds outside are naturally not set up for me, so why worry about it. ”

As he spoke, he stared at the boiling water in the urn and smiled slightly: "Is this the water used to cook tea?" I wonder if it's spring water or rain? ”

"Neither a spring nor rainwater, but the water of a well outside the door. It's just ......" The red lady's eyes were like frost, and she glanced at him like electricity, "If Lord Liang doesn't hand over the whereabouts of my Peng Er's family today, the little woman will only have to invite you into the urn and taste the 'human tea' you brewed yourself!" ”

"Oh?" Liang Zheng looked at the red lady Su Ziqing with interest, "The big boss is going to cook me?" I'm afraid this is a loss of hospitality, right? ”

"The surname is Liang!" Su Ziqing stood up, pointed at Liang Zheng's nose with a slender white face, and said sharply, "I don't have the time to play tricks with you, hand over my senior brother, and read it for your sake to let me go, and let you go down the mountain alive today, otherwise you will ......"

"Hahahaha!" Liang Zheng laughed, as if he had heard something most ridiculous, and laughed so hard that the red lady suddenly changed color:

"What are you laughing at!"

"I laugh at you for being so stupid that you are still thinking of yourself as clever here."

"Am I smart?" Su Ziqing laughed angrily, "Today's Zhongyi Hall is not the Tianguang Tower of the day, do you think that if you don't teach Senior Brother Peng's whereabouts, you will still have a chance to leave this place?" ”

"Yes, right now, it's true that you're the knife and I'm the fish." Liang Zheng opened the folding fan, "But why don't you think about it without using your brain, why did you become your 'fish' when you were a guest in Henan in Xiaming?" ”

"Naturally, it's because I took your sore spot, Lord Liang threw a rat trap," Su Ziqing pointed to the big boxes on both sides, "I had to go to the meeting for these twenty boxes of brocade silk." ”

"Not bad." Liang Zheng stared at Su Ziqing, his eyes were a little undaring, "But have you thought about it, in the battle of Qingshi Ao, how many of your brothers are folded in my hands, don't I understand that your Jigong Mountain and I have a deep hatred like the sea?" ”

Su Ziqing: "......"

Liang Zheng: "This is something that a fool can see, you and I also said in the bet contract that day, if I am caught by you once, I will be at your disposal." If I fall into your hand, will you not be able to kill me? ”

Su Ziqing: "......"

Liang Zheng: "And you asked me to go to the meeting alone, and I really dared to come, don't you want to think about why?" ”

“……！” Su Ziqing was shocked.

Not bad!

This person talks and laughs freely from beginning to end, does he really have anything to rely on?

"Naturally, it's because I know you would never dare to kill me." Liang Zheng seemed to see her thoughts, "Because your senior brother is in my hands, if I tell the whereabouts of Peng Zhanzhen, you dare to kill me without any scruples." And you don't even understand this, but threaten me with it, isn't it stupid, what is it? ”

"The surname is Liang!" Su Ziqing cleared her voice sharply, "Even if I don't dare to kill you, aren't you afraid that I will make your life worse than death, and you are not afraid that I will burn your priceless brocade silk?!" ”

"You won't." Liang Zheng shook his head, "Because you can't do it." ”

"You ......"

"If you don't believe it, try your luck and see."

Su Ziqing shook again.

This person is full of tricks, and he fell into his hands twice, both of which fell into tricks and tricks. Don't......?

She didn't dare to think about it any longer, and silently picked up her inner breath, but suddenly she felt dizzy, and she couldn't stand and fell to the ground.

Su Ziqing's surprise was not trivial, and she hurriedly struggled to stand up, but she didn't have any strength in her whole body, so she couldn't even lift her fingers.

Not only that, but even the own guards in the Hall of Loyalty, and even the sword and axe men at the door, all fell down in a languishing state.

This......

What's going on?

Su Ziqing's eyes widened in horror.

Because she suddenly found that in the entire Zhongyi Hall, Liang Zheng, the only one still standing, was smiling and taking out a sachet from his body.

"Because you're poisoned." Liang Zheng said with a smile, "These boxes of brocade silk are made of camphor wood. ”

Camphor, also known as Shao Brain, Tide Brain, pungent taste, warm sex, it is a Lauraceae plant. "Compendium" cloud: "Camphor out of Shaozhou, Zhangzhou." It looks like borneol, white as snow, and camphor resin paste is also. ”

It is a more commonly used Chinese herbal medicine, in addition to the effect of clearing customs, promoting stagnation qi, reducing swelling and relieving pain, it also has the function of dispelling turbidity, killing insects and relieving itching.

In fact, ancient people have been using camphor for insect control for a long time: for example, cupboards made of camphor wood were used to store clothes, or camphor smoke was used to burn clothes.

It's just that......

"Maybe you don't know," Liang Zheng added, "camphor itself is poisonous, and its smell will make people go into shock." "The Essence of Pinhui" records: "The taste is bitter, bitter and warm. There is a small poison". Inhalation in large amounts can cause dizziness, headache, warmth, and even excitement and delirium. Overdose can even cause seizures and eventually respiratory failure and death. ”

This is like a long-term storage of clothes, the residual camphor smell on the head is stronger, so it is best to wash the long-term storage clothes after taking them out, and then dry them in the sun, and put them in a cool and dry place after drying.

Su Ziqing: "You ......"

I don't know if it's because it's too shocking, or because of the rapid loss of energy, after hearing this fact, Su Ziqing couldn't even speak clearly.

Liang Zheng: "It's just that the smell of camphor wood is volatile in the air, and it is difficult to reach the level of "large amount" or "excess", and there are generally no side effects. That's why I brought this to aggravate the effect. ”

Su Ziqing: "......"

Liang Zheng: "This is the green vine orchid, native to Tianzhu, which is an erect shrub with clumps of stems and thorns. Singular pinnate compound leaves are alternate, and the flowers are solitary in the leaf axils or several flowers are clustered, which is of little use in itself, but will increase the potency of any kind of medicine. It is recorded in "Su Wen" and "Hard Scripture": "Green vine orchid, bracts ovate, color and umami, non-toxic, and medicinal decoction, double effect." ’。 ”

Su Ziqing: "......"

Liang Zheng: "I just kept teasing you, telling you a bunch of what you have and don't, in fact, I am delaying time, so that Qingteng Orchid can multiply the toxicity of camphor and maximize it." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing: "I've been thinking all the way that when you get to the cottage, if you leave all my boxes in the warehouse, I may have to ask you to move things out on the grounds of 'inspection' first, and then find a way to provoke you to open them." I didn't expect you to put things in the lobby directly, which saved me a lot of trouble. ”

The brocade silk of the Shen Mansion is all packed in boxes made of camphor wood......

Originally, the environment of Zhongyi Hall was transparent, and even if so many boxes were put together, it would not make people feel uncomfortable, but under the catalysis and blessing of Qingteng Luolan, the smell of camphor wood in the air quickly changed from quantitative to qualitative, reaching a level that was enough to produce toxicity.

Therefore, the red lady who has inhaled these poisonous gases will feel dizzy and headache, and it is precisely because of the air circulation in the hall that the smell spreads to the outside, so that those big men outside are also poisoned and lose the ability to resist!

As for why Liang Zheng is fine......

Quite simply, he had taken the antidote beforehand.

"You...... You are so despicable, you actually ...... ...... with poison" Su Ziqing's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and her round eyes burst out with extremely resentful flames.

If eyes can kill, it is estimated that Liang Zheng has died no less than hundreds of times.

It's a pity that the eyes can't kill people after all......

So she could only watch as Liang Zheng took out another ringing arrow and released it into the sky......

It didn't take long for the footsteps at the door to rush in, and a group of Liang generals armed with muskets and bayonets rushed in, tying up their own soldiers and the last of their men.

However, when the burly general at the head also walked towards her with a rope, she heard Liang Zheng's voice:

"That's it, Xu Hu...... Let her go. ”

"Young Master?" Xu Hu was stunned.

"I promised to let her go three times." Liang Zheng didn't look at Xu Hu, but just stared at Su Ziqing's body for a moment, "The gentleman is true to his word, this is the second time...... I'll let you go. ”

As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle and poured out two pills for her to take: "This is the antidote, you will be fine in two hours." Hope you ...... Alas, do it yourself. ”

Liang Zheng stood up and let out a long sigh.

From the red lady's eyes that stared at him and had completely extinguished his anger and became cold as cold, he could completely read the word "hatred......

It's not that he doesn't understand the truth that he doesn't die if he fights a snake and has endless troubles, but he just ......

That's it!

Only by letting her completely give up the rebellion can she really save her life, otherwise sooner or later, she will still have to die on the word "bandit......

In that case, how can he be worthy of Su Qinghe, who has been loyal to the Liang family for so many years and has served his father and son for two generations?

Thinking of this, Liang Zheng didn't hesitate anymore, and ordered the generals to carry the prisoners and twenty cargo boxes full of brocade silk, and walked out of the gate of Zhongyi Hall without looking back.
