The above scene happened to be seen by a caring person, this person was none other than Gyokuro, who had always liked to follow Rick incognito. She didn't dare to get too close to the new house, because she noticed that there were several masters lurking around the new house, and if she got too close, she would be in danger of revealing her whereabouts. Therefore, she chose to leave carefully.
Rick walks around the garden and doesn't meet anyone, and he even begins to suspect that he has been forgotten. Lu Guangtou and the three of them followed him, walking idly in the garden like flowers and butterflies, Akis and Li Huan could still remain silent, but Lu Guangtou couldn't, he chased after Rick and asked, "Young Earl, where are you going?" β
"What do you call me that? Who taught you? Rick asked without answering.
Lu Guangtou touched Guangguang's big head, and smirked: "You are both an earl and a young master in the mansion, I think I should call you young earl." β
Rick was very fond of his action of touching his head, so he patted his broad shoulder and said, "Big man, don't call me Young Earl in the future, call me Boss." The boss makes you eat fragrant and drink spicy. β
"I think it's more imposing to call the young master of the earl." Lu Guangtou said stupidly.
"Okay, in the future, you call the young earl, and I will deduct your salary of 1 gold coin." Rick joked.
Lu Guangtou hurriedly lowered his head: "Then I'll call you 'boss'." β
"That's good." Rick said with a smile.
Regarding this evil act of forcing kind-hearted young people to join the "underworld", Li Huan and Akis did not see it, so as not to condemn their conscience.
Rick took Lu Guangtou's little brother. The mood was refreshed, and the depression caused by boredom was immediately swept away. At this time, they happened to walk to the pond in the garden. Rick suddenly remembered that Lu Hanxue soaked his feet in the cold water a few days ago, and he seemed to be very comfortable, and he was idle anyway. He did what he thought, took off his shoes and socks, found a rock by the pool and sat down, and without thinking about it, he put his foot in the water.
The water in early spring is icy though. However, the moment I put my foot in, I didn't feel it, but there was a softness that transcended sensory perception and came to my brain quickly. It's intoxicating. But this wonderful feeling lasted less than a tenth of a second, and the foot issued a cold warning to the brain. Rick was still intoxicated by the beautiful feeling he had just had, and in the hundredth of a second, his consciousness was still in a state of chaos. However, the body had already responded to the police and carried the Red Moon True Qi of the fire attribute on its own. His feet suddenly glowed red, and Rick's consciousness returned, but he couldn't feel the cold anymore. On the contrary, when the skin came into contact with the cold water, the red light flowed through the meridians under the skin at the same time, and a wonderful feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't tell what it wasβit was beyond the scope of words. It was as if his eyes extended to his feet, and he could clearly see a trace of cold air seeping through his feet. But it was gradually dissipated by the red light, and the red light did not decrease but increased, as if it could absorb energy from the cold air. Rick was immersed in this mysterious world, watching the red light expand little by little, like watching a baby grow.
The three of them thought Rick was looking for a thrill, but they soon noticed something unusual in Rick's feet. Lu Guangtou and Akith just felt that it was strange, because among the two of them, Lu Guangtou had never practiced internal kung fu, and Akisi was just a pure magician, but Li Huan knew his true qi, and when he saw the scene in front of him, there was a strange light in his eyes that flashed.
Maybe because the three of them were too focused, or maybe there was another reason, someone behind them suddenly asked a question, and they didn't even notice it.
"Is it comfortable to soak your feet in water?" A woman suddenly asked behind her. The object of her question was obviously not the three Lu Guangtou, but Rick, and for some reason, Rick woke up in shock when he heard her voice. The three of them were also quite shocked, they didn't expect that someone could bully them three feet behind them and not be aware of them. When I turned around, I found that it was a woman dressed in black who was very charming, holding a bright red flower in her left hand, and sniffing it on the tip of her nose from time to time.
Rick didn't withdraw his foot from the water, but just turned his head and said, "Madame, if you are interested, you can come and give it a try, it's interesting." β
The woman showed an interested expression and said, "The slave family really wants to give it a try, but unfortunately there is still something to do, and I will study this soaking kung fu with my son another day." With that, she gave Rick a seductive look, and then walked away.
Rick seemed interested in her and shouted at her back, "What's your name?" β
"The slave's name is Shi Niang, and the son remembers it clearly." Although the woman was far away, her answer was still clearly delivered by the wind.
Akith asked puzzledly, "Young Master, do you like this kind of woman?" β
Rick rolled his eyes and said, "It's better to just ask than to know nothing." Akith smiled, apparently not convinced. Rick didn't bother to explain. Seeing that the time was almost up, Rick hurriedly packed up his belongings and walked towards the house.
Back at the house, Alva complained, "Childe, why did you go for so long? Someone has been urging me several times. β
Rick smiled and said, "The master asked me to wait just now, and I'm letting him wait now, it's not too much." Alva gave him an angry look.
Rick suddenly sniffed vigorously in the air, and said strangely, "Yulu was here just now?" β
Alva was surprised, "How do you know? β
Rick smiled mysteriously, "It's a secret, if you say it, you won't be able to use it in the future." Then he asked, "What's the matter?" β
Alva whispered to Rick about the strange state of the Thunder Mansion that Gyokuro saw, and Rick pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that this marriage is not simple, and before the wedding banquet has even begun, all kinds of strange things have happened. β
"Childe also noticed something unusual?"
Rick shook his head: "I can't say it, I think it's weird." Just now I met a woman in black who called herself 'Shi Niang' in the garden, she was holding a red flower in her hand, and she looked suspicious on the surface, but I always thought she was a little weird. β
"That's the poisonous ten mothers!" Someone in the empty corner suddenly exclaimed.
Rick was almost startled, and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Gyokuro, why are you hiding like a mouse." β
The light and shadow in the corner flickered, revealing the delicate figure of Yulu. She hurriedly walked up to Rick and asked, "Childe, did you run into a poisonous ten mother?" β
"It's 'Shi Niang', not the poisonous Shi Niang." Rick corrected.
"It's not wrong, she's a poisonous ten mother, she loves to wear black, holds a red flower, and dresses up charmingly, there's nothing wrong with it." Yulu almost cried out and said, "Childe, did you smell that flower?" β
"What's wrong with you, Gyokuro?" Rick had never seen her so nervous, and hurriedly went up to hug her and asked.
"That flower is highly poisonous, and if you smell it for more than half a cup of tea at close range, it will definitely be poisoned, and there is no way to save it." Jade dew tears rolled down the tunnel.
Rick lovingly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and comforted: "I have always been blessed with great lives, tell you, childe, I didn't smell that poisonous flower." I just happened to run into that woman. β
"Really?" Gyokuro asked in surprise, tears still streaming down her cheeks.
Rick nodded earnestly. Gyokuro couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek and smiled like a flower. Rick continued to wipe the remaining tears from her face, complaining as he wiped them back, "Crying and laughing for a while, it will make my face glaze." Yulu groaned and buried her head in his arms.
Rick smiled, happy. After a while, Yulu returned to normal, and Rick carefully asked the details of the poisonous ten mothers. It turned out that the woman he had just met in the garden was indeed Poison Shi Niang, and Poison Shi Niang came from the Moon Sect like the "Ten Killing Gods", and belonged to the second killing of the "Ten Killings of the Moon God", called "Poison Niang's Life". Her weapon is the red flower in her hand, it is said that it is a variant of rose, after the special cultivation of the poisonous ten mothers, cultivated a rose containing highly poisonous, anyone as long as they smell the fragrance of poisonous flowers at close range for half a cup of tea, they will be poisoned, and they will die violently after three days, and the death is very miserable.
"What are you going to do when Poison Shi Niang sneaks into the wedding banquet?" Rick wondered.
Alva laughed, "According to the description of the Gyokuro girl, I think she probably only has one purpose - to kill people!" β
"Who is she trying to kill?"
Yulu groaned: "Whoever escapes the first kill of the Moon God's ten kills is her target." β
"You mean--Treya" The last three words, Rick, Gyokuro, and Alva all came out at the same time.
"Figured it out." Rick Zhizhu said in his hand: "Poison Shi Niang wants to kill Treya, but it is usually not easy to get close to Treya, so she sneaked into the wedding banquet to get close to Trea and then kill him, of course, the tool for killing is the poisonous rose." β
"There's no better time to get closer to Trea than at the climax of the wedding reception." Alva continued, "This form of feasting, which has been passed down from the Tabziqi Empire, is loved by most of the nobles of the country. If Trea is invited to a wedding reception, she will inevitably attend the ball. When the time comes, with the beauty of the poisonous ten mothers, it will inevitably lead Treya to take the bait. β
"I've only heard that roses have thorns, but today I know that roses are poisonous." Rick shook his head with a sigh.
Yulu sneered and said, "Childe touched so many roses, and he didn't see poisoning." β
Rick smugly, "That's because all I run into are thorny roses, and I'm not afraid of thorns - oh, who stabs me." Gyokuro and Alva both turned their heads away, as if they hadn't seen them.
The wedding banquet was held in the banquet hall of the Lei Du Mansion, and most of the guests had already arrived, and they stood in groups in the hall, introducing each other to the women and friends around them. There are also some people sitting on white chairs on the periphery, with hearty food and wine beside them, but most of them come alone, with no women to laugh at or friends to introduce to, so they can only be "wallflowers". Rick left Lu Guangtou and the other four guards outside the door, and then led Alva into the banquet room. He didn't want to be too ostentatious, so as soon as he entered the banquet room, he didn't go straight into the center of the hall, but naturally turned left and walked to the side. Despite this, with his lofty body and Alva's dazzling and otherworldly beauty, he still attracted the attention of many people. Some men clearly wrote in their eyes: The woman must not be let go of tonight's ball. (To be continued......)
