The officials of the Zhao State Office stared at Su Qin, with a humble attitude, and said: "We have prepared some wine and food for the distinguished envoys of the Yan State, I don't know if it suits your appetite, please use it slowly." ”

The man said so, and took his leave unhurriedly. Su Qin checked in the room and didn't find anything unusual, so he sat down with confidence.

When he saw that the official house had prepared the famous "Handan mash" for them, he picked it up and smelled the fragrance, and when he was about to drink it, he felt a head poke out of the window.

Su Qin looked at it carefully and found that there was nothing there at all, but Su Qin was still not at ease. He couldn't help but be suspicious of the wine.

Su Qin quietly took his burden over, took out a thin embroidered scarf from it, and put it in the sleeve of his robe. He then raised his glass again, this time deliberately using the sleeve of his robe to cover it, pouring the wine from the glass on top of the profane garment.

Then, he smacked his lips and said loudly: "Good wine, it really deserves to be the famous Handan mash, it is really delicious." ”

Not long after, he raised another glass of wine and pretended to drink it all, but in fact it was also poured on the dirty clothes.

After drinking two cups in a row, Su Qin pretended to have a severe pain in his stomach, then stretched out his legs and kicked his feet, and fell on the seat. He waited motionless for about a quarter of an hour, and there was a knock on the door, Su Qin ignored it, and he continued to lie there.

The person outside the door knocked a few times and found that there was no answer in the house, so he pushed the door in, and Su Qin saw that it was a sturdy man in black with a covered face, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, and the man pounced towards Su Qin.

Su Qin hurriedly dodged, and when the man in black saw that Su Qin was alive, he dodged his own blow, and after a moment's pause, he immediately stabbed a sword at Su Qin.

Su Qin had reached the lower corner of the bed at this time, and there was no room to hide, and his Qingshuang Sword could not be pulled out in the cramped space. At this time, in a hurry, he slid the crossbow on the cuff into his hand, pulled the mechanism, and aimed at the head of the man in black.

How did the man in black expect that in addition to the sword on his body, Su Qin also had such a dexterous dark crossbow, and in a panic, he turned his head outward, and the face door was able to dodge the short crossbow, but his right ear was hit by the short crossbow, and a large piece was cut off.

At this time, Su Qin took advantage of the man in black to pause for a moment, stood up, and he pulled out the Qingshuang sword and stabbed the man in black in the chest.

The man in black used the dagger in his hand to block the Qingshuang sword, Su Qin originally thought that the dagger would be broken in two, but the dagger only bounced away, and it was still intact, Su Qin had already understood at this time that the man in black was using the short sword of Mrs. Xu, the national treasure of Zhao State, this kind of sword was very tough and sharp, and it was a well-known hand-to-hand combat weapon among the blades at that time.

The man in black was also taken aback by Su Qin's Qingshuang Sword, probably not expecting the tenacity and power of the Qingshuang Sword, he saw that he couldn't win at all in a short time, the blood flowed from the wound in his right ear, he no longer fell in love with the fight, he turned around and fled, his body was fast and flexible.

Su Qin couldn't catch up, so he pulled the crossbow again, and the person's left arm hit the crossbow again, but the speed of running did not decrease, and there was no trace in an instant.

Ning Jun next door heard the sound of fighting, and came out to inspect with his sword, and he also saw the shadow of the man in black, who jumped onto the wall of the official residence and quickly disappeared into the night.

Ning Jun looked at Su Qin, who chased out the door, and found that everything was normal with him, so he was relieved. Su Qin beckoned Ning Jun to his room and told Ning Jun everything that had just happened, and Ning Jun also went to check the Handan mash, and also felt that there must be something strange in it.

The two of them found a silver hairpin that a man used to hold the crown in place, and looked into the wine, and the part of the silver hairpin that had been immersed in the wine slowly turned black.

This time, they could clearly conclude that the wine was poisonous, but fortunately, Su Qin was vigilant, he felt that Xuanyang Jun's hospitality was not like his usual style from noon, and later he noticed the figure outside the window, so he didn't drink it, otherwise he would be poisoned, coupled with the sneak attack of the masked man in black, where would he still be alive.

Ning Jun was particularly angry and said: "The official who manages the official residence must be an accomplice, otherwise, why was he poisoned for no reason because of such a loud noise, and he pretended to be indifferent." ”

Ning Jun held the sword in his hand as he spoke, and wanted to find the official to settle the account. Su Qin hurriedly stopped him.

Su Qin analyzed: "The reason why that official is so bold and dares to poison the wine and food of the envoys of Yan State must have someone behind him to support him, and the backer behind it may be Xuanyang Jun Zhao Yun." We're going to him now, he's going to ask a question, and we can't help him, we're on his territory after all. ”

Ning Jun said anxiously: "Then we can't be persecuted by them so inexplicably, and worry about it all day long." ”

Su Qin pondered for a moment and said: "We can't afford to provoke, can't we hide, we will move out tomorrow under conditions that are not suitable for here, they will not agree to keep us, and they can't force us to stay here." ”

Su Qin then said: "As for tonight's matter, we can't make a big fuss yet, make a fuss, divert the goal and direction, and be very detrimental to our actions. ”

Ning Jun listened to Su Qin's analysis and nodded in agreement, but he was still angry in his heart. While the two were discussing tonight's affairs, there was movement in the courtyard of the official residence, and after a while, someone came to their door.

Su Qin and Ning Jun couldn't help but get nervous again, Su Qin pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and asked loudly, "Who is here?" ”

The person outside the door reported: "It's me, Meng Ting, I heard that you arrived in Handan City, so I came to visit at night, I don't know if I bothered you." ”

Su Qin and Ning Jun glanced at each other, Su Qin nodded, signaling that Ning Jun didn't have to be nervous, it was Meng Ting who came to listen to the voice. Su Qin calmed down the nervous mood that had been tense for a while, and said calmly: "It turned out that Miss Meng Ting was visiting, welcome, why bother, I will open the door for you." ”

Su Qin said, and went to open the door, and he saw Meng Ting wearing elegant tight clothes, standing outside the door beautifully.

Meng Ting was also a little surprised when she saw Su Qin and Ning Jun together, and said, "It turns out that Mr. Su, oh, no, it's Prime Minister Su, you have guests here, it seems that I still bothered you." ”

Su Qin let Meng Ting into the room, Ning Jun nodded at Meng Ting, it was considered a courtesy, Meng Ting bent down slightly and returned the salute.

Ning Jun originally did not have a deep relationship with Meng Ting, but he was also an acquaintance, and when he saw Meng Ting's expression today, he felt that she had something to do with him, and he was not very happy, and he had a bad impression of Meng Ting, so the atmosphere was inevitably a little embarrassing.
