Chapter 39: The Source of Evil
"What!"
Ma Luan was suddenly startled in his heart, but his face did not change in the slightest, and he pulled Kang Qingqing up and strode into the inner room.
Du Huan and the others were all Ma Lan's cronies, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw this scene.
"Xiao Beisheng is newly married, it seems that the general is not exempt from vulgarity! But this little stunner is indeed seductive, and it's no wonder that adults like her so much. ”
"Let's go farther, don't disturb the general's interest, haha!"
Listening to the footsteps outside, it was obvious that Du Huan and Li Juan had left. Ma Lan looked at the beautiful girl with young eyebrows and eyes in front of her, and her face had become extremely gloomy.
"You poisoned Dr. Feng? What kind of poison is it? ”
"A chronic poison that doesn't attack now, and it won't be revealed until half a year later." Kang Qingqing was obviously not afraid of Ma Lan at this time, and said crisply.
"Is there an antidote to this poison?" Ma Ling frowned.
"Nope." The little girl shook her head, "Husband, you don't know, that cripple is so hateful, he doesn't treat me and my sisters as human beings at all, and he deserves to be poisoned by me!" ”
"There's no one else here, so there's no need to call me husband!" Ma Luan's face was gloomy, a cold glow flashed in his hand, and the horizontal knife made of refined steel had already fallen on Kang Qingqing's neck. On Kang Qingqing's slender and white neck, a thin blood mark instantly appeared.
"Kang Qingqing, tell me how to detoxify Doctor Feng, otherwise I will kill you!" Ma Lu lowered his voice, and there was an endless chill in his eyes.
"Husband, are you going to kill me?" Kang Qingqing was surprised, "That cripple said a lot of bad things about you, shouldn't he be your enemy?" ”
"I said, don't call me husband! Kang Qingqing, either tell me the way to detoxify, or you will die! Ma Lan gritted his teeth and said.
He wanted Anxi to be good, but he never wanted to kill an Anxi veteran like Feng Changqing. As a person who came after a thousand years, he had too much longing for this tragic general in history, and naturally refused to let Feng Changqing die at his own hands.
If he killed Feng Changqing, he wouldn't be able to pass his own level at all.
"Husband...... General, I didn't lie to you, there is really no way to detoxify. It is the secret poison of our Kangju royal family, and once it is hit, it is incurable. Kang Qingqing said softly.
Ma Luan's eyes were cold, and the horizontal knife in his hand trembled slightly.
A wisp of blood flowed out from Kang Qingqing's neck, slowly descending on her slender and white neck, with a thrilling beauty.
"You...... Are you really going to kill me? ”
Kang Qingqing's little face suddenly showed a sad color, and her beautiful eyes looked at Ma Lu, which was instantly covered with mist. The little girl pursed her lips vigorously, a look of despair appeared in her eyes, and she suddenly slammed into Ma Lan's horizontal knife.
Ma Ling instinctively withdrew the horizontal knife, and the soft and delicate body of the Sogdian girl had already crashed into his arms, looking at him with a small face full of tears, looking extremely aggrieved.
This appearance instantly evoked the hidden memory in Ma Lan's heart.
That was ten years ago, in Chang'an. At that time, he was still a ranger in the market, and the Sogdian girl was also so beautiful.
There was a twitch in his heart, and at this moment, Ma Lan couldn't bear to blame her anymore. However, in the next moment, the pores of his whole body involuntarily opened at the same time!
"Not good!"
Ma Lan came to his senses in an instant, where did he dare to hesitate for half a minute, and his elbow drew a strange arc and hit Kang Qingqing's lower abdomen hard.
Kang Qingqing snorted, and the whole person was knocked out of the air.
Ma Lan looked down again, and the clothes on his chest had been cut. And in Kang Qingqing's hand, he was holding a sharp spike several inches long.
Above the spikes, there was a dark blue glow, apparently fed with poison. If you are really stabbed by this girl, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable!
Kang Qingqing missed a blow, struggled to stand up and wanted to escape, Ma Lan strode over, slapped Kang Qingqing on the back of the head, and Kang Qingqing fell to the ground in an instant.
"Dead girl, she's just a little hedgehog!" Ma Lan looked at Kang Qingqing, smiled wryly and shook his head.
I really thought too much about it just now, I wasn't really her man, where would she be really sad, where would she be willing to die in her arms.
She had been forced to that role just now, but she made such a choice, which means that she really has no way to detoxify, otherwise she would not play with her life like this.
She was already extremely beautiful, and she showed that kind of pitiful look, even Ma Lan almost fell in love with her, and was almost killed by her. This time, there was no gold coin in his arms to stop him, and if he was stabbed by this girl, he would definitely not be lucky.
"This matter is really troublesome!" Ma Lan looked at Kang Qingqing, who had fainted on the ground, and was upset.
Originally, he didn't believe that there was any magical poison that could make people get poisoned unconsciously, and it would take half a year before it happened, just like he didn't believe in the existence of any ten thousand enemies or the like.
But after this era, he has already understood that this world is completely different from the world a thousand years later.
Now he can't be called a 10,000-strong enemy, a 100-person enemy is absolutely no problem, if there is any magical poison in this world, it is completely possible.
In this era, the Tang people had a natural sense of superiority, and it was extremely common for Feng Changqing to look down on these Sogdian women. didn't expect Kang Qingqing to poison him, which completely disrupted Ma Lan's plan.
Feng Changqing is the general of Anxi, very majestic, and loyal to the Tang Dynasty, Ma Lan was originally ready to rely on Feng Changqing's ability to do a great job after succeeding in the main Anxi, but now such a thing has happened.
This veteran of the Anxi Army is actually going to be lost in his own hands!
Kang Qingqing was lying on the ground with his brows furrowed, his eyes were closed, his sparse and long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his expression looked a little painful. Ma Lan looked at this Sogdian girl, and a trace of murderous intent appeared in her eyes.
Then he shook his head again, what could he do if he killed her? Killing such a little girl, he can't do it.
"I hope her poison isn't so powerful, and Dr. Feng can get through it!"
"Half a year...... Maybe I'll be able to figure out the secret of this poison and find a cure. Ma Lan thought helplessly.
……
After a while, Kang Qingqing woke up. Seeing that Ma Lan had no intention of killing her, she regained her low-eyed appearance and stood beside Ma Lan, looking extremely well-behaved.
Ma Lan had already suffered two losses on this girl, and she directly ignored her disguise, asked for that secret poison from Kang Qingqing, and looked at it seriously.
It was a black paste with a strange scent. Ma Lan looked at it for a long time, and his face became extremely strange.
"Little girl, your poison shouldn't be fatal." Ma Lan asked.
"I didn't say it was fatal. But being poisoned by this poison is no different from dying. Kang Qingqing lowered his head and twisted the corners of his clothes, crisp and authentic.
"......" Ma Ling shook his head with a wry smile and placed the packet of poison on the table.
I knew this was the case, but I didn't have to worry about it so much. If you fall into this poison, although it is a little troublesome, at least you can't die.
"I didn't expect that in this era, there are already such harmful things. Where did you get this stuff? ”
Kang Qingqing raised his head and glanced at Ma Lan in surprise, obviously not expecting Ma Lan to know anything about her poison. The next moment, she looked down at her toes again, biting her lip slightly, obviously not ready to answer Ma Lan's question.
Ma Lan snorted, took out a token and shook it, and said, "Don't forget, you should obey my orders now, this is the authority given to me by your father." ”
"I can obey other orders, this is the secret of my Kangju royal family, naturally I can't tell you." Kang Qingqing raised his head and looked at Ma Lan, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.
"That's right." Ma Lan smiled and nodded, and with a slight wave of his big hand, he slapped Kang Qingqing's head.
The power of this palm was just right, Kang Qingqing fainted directly and fell softly into Ma Lan's arms.
"I have the holy relics of the God of Light in my hands, so you are not obedient, don't you need to be punished?" Ma Lan snorted, and was no longer polite, and his big hand went directly under the little girl's robe to search.
It didn't take long for him to have a little tip on his hand.
Pouring some of the seeds in the bag on the table, Ma Ling nodded slightly.
Who would have thought that this era would actually allow him to find the seeds of the poppy. Kangguo's mysterious poison is nothing but the smoke and soil of the afterlife.
Dr. Feng unknowingly took this kind of thing, and the danger was nothing more than addiction. As long as you can't get it, it's nothing. Of course, if someone takes this kind of thing to order Feng Changqing, I am afraid that Feng Changqing will not be able to resist.
Of course, such a thing, Ma Lan naturally will not let it happen.
"This is the source of evil, once it spreads, it will immediately be a sin that poisons the world."
Ma Lan looked at the poppy seeds, sighed, and then put all the seeds in the bag and put it in his arms.
……
The time of three days will soon come. Outside the yamen of the Shule town guard, there was a long queue of family members who came to receive the pension.
On the high platform, Ma Lan sat in the center, Du Huan and Bai Xiaode were on both sides, and strings of copper coins and a large number of silk silks were piled up.
The soldiers who died in the battle were all on the roster of the military government of Shule Town, and the distribution of bereavement pensions naturally required the cooperation of the town guard and the yamen. This is the best opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the military and the people, and Ma Lu is sitting here for this reason.
This is Du Huan's insistence, with Ma Lan's own personality, he was not prepared to do this. This time, he did not have many selfish thoughts, but just did not want to let the family members of the Anxi soldiers who died in the war endure hunger and cold.
Bai Xiaode looked solemn and read out the roster in person. The first one to come up was a trembling old man, who knelt on the high platform and kept prostrating.
"Old man, don't be sad. Ling Lang's grudge, the brothers must go to report it sooner or later! Ma Lan stood up, relieved loudly, and handed the old man dozens of coins and a bundle of silk silk to the old man.
"Thank you, General! Thank you, General! The old man held the silk silk and copper coin, and was so excited that he shed tears.
He was also a veteran of the Anxi Army before, and such a generous pension was unprecedented. I heard that this wealth did not come from the treasury, but was distributed by the general in front of him with a great deal of responsibility. For the general in front of him, he was extremely grateful in his heart.
In the past three days, Du Huan, the son of the family, has not been idle. These rumors circulating in the market of Shule Town were quietly spread under his orders.
The old man is no longer in his prime, and it is already a little difficult to hold dozens of catties of copper coins in his arms. Bai Xiaode, the town guard, stood up and smiled gently: "Old man, if you can't take this money away, you might as well put it in the treasury, and you can withdraw it at any time when it is useful." Our Anxi Army's own treasury is the most secure. If you don't want to, I'll send someone to help you get the money to the house. ”
