Qi Qingfei did not find Xue Ling. Xue Ling stayed in the mansion somewhere, went back to the house and packed up some money, and turned out of the mansion in three or two. It took some breath of fresh air before I remembered the bowl of white fungus soup. Qi Shiyan wanted to poison himself, and he didn't have any defense, if he didn't like sweetness, he didn't know what was going to happen tonight.

Xue Ling went straight to Tao Hongzhi's shop, which sold all kinds of things, including hidden poisons, and he was also an old customer.

Since there is poison, there should be an antidote.

When I arrived at the door of the shop, I found that it was closed. Xue Ling slammed the door twice and no one answered, so he had to turn around and leave. After walking a few steps, I looked back at the gate, a little unwilling, saw that there was no one around, made a detour to the backyard, and jumped in after holding on to the wall.

patted the dust on his hands, and with the memory of that night, he went to the small attic where he drank with Tao Hongzhi that night. The shop is not very big, and there are people hanging lights on the street, and it is not too dark in the afterglow. She quickly found the place, but unfortunately it seemed to be empty, so she could only plan to come back tomorrow.

As soon as she turned around, the door opened automatically, and something broke through the wind. Xue Ling hurriedly turned sideways, slid out his sleeve arrow, listened to the sound and identified the position, blocked a bunch of bits and pieces, and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

"This dog day is actually a black shop" Xue Ling secretly hated that he usually didn't pay attention, so he quickly found a few footholds, flew to the beam, and wanted to take a hidden weapon to go, but he didn't know where he stepped on it, and the courtyard was brightly lit for a moment.

Tao Hongzhi walked out of the back room, put his hands behind his back, looked at the place where Xue Ling was hiding and said, "Where is Your Excellency sacred, you might as well show up and see it."

"I'm afraid I'll die if I show up." Xue Ling watched Tao Hongzhi come out, only to know that this person was in the house. It's also strange that the lights are not lit at night. He didn't come down immediately, but he no longer hid his figure, and sat down on the beam along the wall. The skirt of the body blown by the night breeze flutters, blooming like a flower, which is very beautiful.

Tao Hongzhi took out his hand from behind his back, and something in his palm slid down his arm and into his sleeve. said: "It turned out to be Miss Xue, why don't you go to the front door." ”

Xue Ling jumped off the beam, without feeling guilty at all, and said, "Your house is closed, I'm in a hurry, so come in to see if you're there." That's good, it's better not to come, and almost lost your life. As he spoke, he walked in front of Tao Hongzhi and pointed to the door: "Don't you invite me in to sit?" ”

Tao Hongzhi has seen Xue Ling dancing with a sword and knows that she is good. But seeing that she was safe and sound at this time, she still had some different emotions in her heart, but she didn't show it, and made a gesture of invitation to Xue Ling with a smile.

The Tao family has made a living from swords and things for several generations, but iron tools are the focus of the imperial court, so most of the folk industry is to provide some people with portable weapons, which also includes various fine objects of hidden weapons and poisons. Of course, the food he used in his courtyard was good, but he didn't expect Xue Ling to be unharmed.

"It's a shabby place and poorly treated. Why did the girl come late at night? The two sat down, and Tao Hongyi asked while boiling tea in the pot.

Xue Ling took out all the silver tickets in his arms, slapped them on the table and said, "Buy medicine." Just after life and death, I felt that Tao Hongzhi was strange. But there are few people in Beijing who are not eccentric, such as Mrs. Nasu, not only eccentric, but also almost sophisticated. Don't be nosy, hurry up and leave after shopping, so as not to cause trouble.

What kind of medicine is in his shop, Tao Hongzhi is very clear, he heard Xue Ling's tone is different from before, grabbed the silver ticket in front of him and clicked it, and said with a smile: "The best medicine in the store can't be sold at this price, but Miss Xue wants more?" ”

"Not much, I just want to know what medicine can cure all kinds of poisons."

Tao Hongzhi pushed a bunch of silver tickets back in front of Xue Ling and said, "Then this silver can't be earned, and the small shop doesn't have it." ”

Xue Ling paused, grabbed the silver ticket and wondered if he wanted to change it or not.

Tao Hongzhi seemed to see through her thoughts, and said, "Miss Xue doesn't have to bother, even if she searches all over the world, it is absolutely impossible for this thing to exist." Tea is fine, you might as well use some before you go. ”

The things in Tao Hongzhi's shop are indeed the top in Beijing. If he didn't, there really wouldn't be anywhere else. Thinking of this, Xue Ling decided to coax first, smirked twice, and said, "If you don't go, you can't go." The best shop in Beijing is you, you say no, then there must be none. ”

However, her ability to pat on the back is really clumsy, and she is not flattering at all, but she looks like a young man who is stubborn. Fortunately, it is rarely annoying, and I only find it very interesting.

Tao Hongzhi didn't say anything about this sentence, slowly cooked his tea, waited for the water to boil, washed the utensils three times, put in the tea leaves, and poured out the head to brew, refusing to save the slightest process.

Xue Ling was impatient in his heart, waited for the tea to be handed to him, picked it up and drank it all. Unexpectedly, the tea was hot, and his cheeks were red for a while.

Tao Hongzhi took a sip of the tea in his hand and said, "Is Miss Xue so anxious about everything?" ”

Xue Ling was embarrassed, and held back a word for a long time: "Thirsty." Seeing that Tao Hongzhi was still staring at himself and didn't answer, he smiled dryly: "I'm a little greedy for dinner, do you have this kind of medicine, I really need it urgently." ”

Tao Hongzhi didn't answer, and filled the empty tea bowl for Xue Ling, but asked something else: "Is someone in your family poisoned?" ”

"No, it's me, it's me who was poisoned."

"When, where, what symptoms". Tao Hongzhi looked at Xue Ling carefully, his face was ruddy, his speech was clear, and he didn't have any stiff limbs, not like he was about to die of poison, and he wasn't very nervous for a while.

"It's been solved, but I'm very scared, I want to come to you to look for it, so I can take precautions in the future."

"I see". Tao Hongzhi put down the tea bowl in his hand, thought for a while, and said: "There is indeed no medicine that can cure all kinds of poisons, and most of the rumors in the world are fake." Even the unicorn dew in the palace does not have this effect. ”

"Kirin dew"? Xue Ling repeated, wasn't this dog thing that Jiang Hong exchanged Daddy's life for Xue Li back then? If there is no miracle effect, how can Xue Li be good?

"Miss Xue has heard of this"? Tao Hongzhi didn't know what Xue Ling was thinking, and thought that Xue Ling had read the rumors from the books, so he continued to preach: "People are all bloodline bodies, once they are damaged, they can't be restored in time, how can there be anything that can live the dead, flesh and bones." Medicine is the same, only mutual restraint, and there is absolutely no saying that it can cure all diseases. ”

"Your family sells unicorn dew"? Xue Ling didn't pay attention to any antidote, she didn't eat that bowl of white fungus soup tonight, she just had Tao Hongzhi a treat. It was this unicorn dew that she was very interested in.

"No, this kind of thing, only the palace has it, father..". Tao Hongzhi paused for a moment before continuing: "My father and I have read it in a book, and we have collected a large number of historical books, and it is inferred that its utility is exaggerated. ”

Xue Ling touched his wrist. Just now, Tao Hongzhi clearly wanted to talk about his father, but he changed his words halfway through the words, and there was probably something unknown to everyone. And looking at his expression, it seems that he has personally used unicorn dew. What is only available in the palace can only be touched when you enter the palace. Tao Hongzhi, what is the reason for the involvement in the palace?

Xue Ling didn't know whether this person was friend or foe, so it was hard to ask anything else, so he just wanted to know something related to Xue Li, and said, "You mean that Qilin Lu is useless?" ”

Tao Hongzhi shook his head and said, "That's not it, this kind of thing like Ganoderma lucidum grass, even if it is an ordinary plant, it will not be useless." But it is nothing more than protecting people's hearts and intestines, so that the internal organs are not damaged. Supplemented by the blood of the unicorn, it is indeed a treasure in the world, and those who are dying can take it for about three days. But to talk about resurrection from the dead is really nonsense. ”

Three days of life........ Xue Ling suddenly remembered the death of the first emperor.

Tao Hongzhi was still talking, and said, "The medicine that Miss Xue asked for is definitely not available." But I also have a little good thing here, and the principle is inseparable from the unicorn dew. It is nothing more than to take it quickly when poisoned, so that the poisonous gas will not attack the heart. But the effect is far less domineering than that of Kirin Lu, and it can probably only allow you to last one more day to find an antidote. ”

In fact, this is already a rare holy medicine, and one day is enough time to think of many ways to suppress the toxicity, but Xue Ling will think about other things, and he only listened to a rough idea, and did not notice the preciousness in the meantime.

After three days of life, he died suddenly. Since there is this holy medicine in the palace, why did the first emperor suddenly die in the palace of the concubine? It can't be that you don't have time to take medicine.

Tao Hongzhi saw that Xue Ling didn't seem to be surprised, and felt that he was bored, so he stopped talking, knocked on the table to pull Xue Ling's attention back and said, "So Miss Xue want to buy some back?" ”

Xue Ling thought back to what Tao Hongzhi had just said, which seemed to be some kind of miracle medicine, and said, "Buy, buy, buy, I want as many as you want." ”

Tao Hongzhi got up and went out, took back a small box after a while, opened it to Xue Ling and said, "I'm afraid that I'm looking all over the capital, only Tao Ji has this thing." I can make the decision and sell two pills to Miss Xue, I don't know if Miss Xue can pay the starting price? ”

"What's the matter?"

"The medicinal materials needed are hard to find, and it is difficult for the master and the clever woman at home to cook without rice."

Xue Ling shook the silver ticket in his hand and said, "Are these enough?" ”

Tao Hongzhi snapped the box shut and said, "Obviously not enough." ”

Xue Ling had already seen that this Tao Hongzhi was far from being a light and breezy appearance on the surface, and he was not good at smiling again. With a straight face, he said: "How to sell the Tao shopkeeper, the business of the world can be discussed." ”

Sure enough, the world is interesting, the two of them have many faces, Xue Ling is not the ignorant girl of seventeen or eighteen, and Tao Hongzhi is not the owner of the shop in Beijing.

"Since Miss Xue is a dartman, I don't know if she accepts any commission?"

"That depends on where the shopkeeper Tao goes, and the Xue family can only do what they can."

"Then Miss Xue has to report her home first, Tao will come to disturb her in person, and the elders in the family can also be a witness."

Xue Ling looked at the box in Tao Hongzhi's hand, and finally didn't dare to trust this person. put on that smiling face again and said: "That's it, I can't afford it if I think about it, so I won't win people's love, so I won't live it." After saying that, he walked out the door.

The person had already walked to the courtyard, and Tao Hongzhi called "Miss Xue" in the back. chased out and said: "Buying and selling is not benevolent and righteous, I have an acquaintance with Miss Xue, I can't see death without help, you can take a pill." As he spoke, he spread out his palm and handed a pill to Xue Ling.

Xue Ling looked at him and didn't speak, and he didn't know if he would answer for a while. She doesn't like to owe favors, especially if she doesn't know what Tao Hong's picture is.

"You take it, you usually carry it with you, the pill is sealed with wax, and you can crush it when you take it. Remember that this substance treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it can only protect for a while, and cannot detoxify. As he spoke, he stuffed it into Xue Ling's hand and went back to the room.

I don't know where Tao Hongzhi pressed, but before Xue Ling left, the lights in this courtyard were extinguished, and it was shrouded in shadows.
