Chapter 84: Poison
In the mountains and forests, a group of people searched for something around, trampled the dead grass on the ground mercilessly, making a creaking sound, alarming the birds in the trees, and the birds chirped a few times, through the dense leaves, and flew to the distant sky in a daze.
"Lord Wang! Pei Chengzhi was not found here. A guard stepped forward with a knife and saluted King Wu respectfully.
King Wu sat on the chaise longue brought by the servant, slowly sat up straight, slowly rubbed the emerald green wrench in his hand, and slowly looked at the guard in front of him: "Waste! What is the use of this king keeping you? ”
The guard immediately knelt on the ground, his face fell to the ground, and his voice sounded a little trembling: "The prince spares his life!" It's the subordinates who are not doing well, and the subordinates should die, begging the prince to spare his life! ”
"Hmph, waste is waste, this king is too lazy to take care of you!" King Wu kicked over, the guards didn't dare to hide or scream, and they took this kick alive, "Hurry up and get out of this king!" ”
"Yes! Thank you for not killing the prince! The guard immediately kowtowed three times, and crawled out of King Wu's sight.
King Wu frowned, and there was anger in his heart, and at this time, another guard came to report.
"You'd better say something useful, this king is in a bad mood today!" King Wu frowned, suppressing the irritability in his heart.
The guard immediately saluted and said, "Lord, there are traces of someone passing by in the west!" ”
King Wu turned his head to look at him, with a little satisfaction in his eyes: "Okay! You take someone to follow, and as soon as there is news, come and report it immediately! ”
"Remember, don't let me down." King Wu glanced at the guard behind his hands.
"Yes! The subordinates will take people to check, and they will definitely not disappoint you! The guard immediately got up, waved his hand, led a small group of men, and went west.
The jade key, this king is bound to win!
King Wu slowly sat back on the chaise longue and motioned for the slave to continue pinching his shoulders, his face full of ambition.
"Alright, that's it." Mo Shihuan explained the plan clearly to the two of them, turned his head at the two and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”
"This king naturally has no opinion." Zhuo Chen twisted his neck and changed to a more comfortable position.
Pei Chengzhi's eyes rolled twice, and he nodded: "I have no opinion." ”
"Then you should let in the ring of guards outside." Mo Shihuan said with his hands around his chest.
"It can be, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Mo Shihuan turned his head to look at him.
Pei Chengzhi hesitated for a moment and took out a small bottle from his arms.
"What is this?" Mo Shihuan frowned and asked suspiciously.
Pei Chengzhi pursed his lips, uncorked the bottle, and poured out two round pills from it, rolling them around in the palm of his hand.
"I can't fully trust you right now, who knows what the guards outside will do to me when they come in. Oh, these are two poisons, you eat them, and I know that you will help me find out the truth, and I will give you the antidote! Saying that, I was afraid that the two of them would not believe him, so he hurriedly added, "Let me trust you unconditionally, this is impossible, and it is not fair to me, besides, I am in your hands, I will definitely not be able to escape." ”
It is quite reasonable, and in this case, I can strive to have the bargaining chips, courage, and strategy to compete with them.
Zhuo Chen nodded with a little appreciation, raised his eyebrows, took a pill in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
Pei Chengzhi's palms were slightly sweaty, he didn't know if his actions were beyond the range that the two in front of him could bear, but in order to make himself less passive, he could only do this.
"Yes, you kid is very guts." Zhuo Chen hooked his lips and smiled, looking at Pei Chengzhi meaninglessly, "However, it's enough for me to eat alone." ”
After that, without giving the two of them time to react, he directly stuffed the pill into his mouth.
"Zhuo Chen!" Mo Shihuan exclaimed in surprise and frowned, "Why are you ......?"
Zhuo Chen patted her head soothingly, and said with a smile: "It's rare to see you care about me so much, it's okay, just like that kid said, he can't escape, right?" ”
That being said, but ......
What if Pei Chengzhi gave him poison that killed him on the spot?
He ate it without thinking about it......
Mo Shihuan secretly said that he was usually scheming, but now he doesn't care about anything, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no way, he can't let him spit out the medicine.
"What are you doing?" Zhuo Chen watched Mo Shihuan also take a poison, hurriedly held her wrist tightly, and reprimanded coldly.
Mo Shihuan pouted: "What, if you can eat it, I can't eat it?" ”
"That's not what I meant......" Zhuo Chen let go of his hand with a little embarrassment and turned his head away.
Mo Shihuan was amused by his awkward appearance: "Don't worry, he can trust us, why don't we believe him?" ”
"Besides, even if I die, won't I still have you with me?" After speaking, Mo Shihuan raised his head and threw the poison into his mouth.
Pei Chengzhi didn't expect the two of them to trust him so much, and he ate the poison without delay, he was really a little stunned, but he didn't say anything, nodded, put his hand into the small hole, touched a mechanism above the rock wall, and pressed it gently.
Boom Boom –
A stone door slowly opened, revealing Feiying and the others who were isolated outside.
"Master!" Feiying immediately ran to Zhuo Chen, and when he saw the wounds on Zhuo Chen's body and his pale complexion, his face immediately sank, "Who hurt the master?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a small injury, it's just a misunderstanding." Zhuo Chen looked at the flying eagle with a shameful face and waved his hand at him.
"It's the subordinates who are not effective in protecting the master, and please punish the master!" The eagle half-knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
Zhuo Chen pinched his brows and said with a smile: "Knowing that you are loyal, this king is fine, get up." ”
"Yes." Feiying got up and saw Pei Chengzhi standing on the side, "This is?" ”
"Pei Gu's son, Pei Chengzhi." Mo Shihuan continued, "He will work with us to investigate the cause of Pei Gu's death." ”
Feiying nodded, but thinking of Fang Cai's movements and Zhuo Chen's injuries, he didn't give Pei Chengzhi any good look.
"Is everyone here?" Zhuo Chen coughed lightly and asked.
"Everyone is already gathered, and you can leave here at any time." Flying Eagle had already counted the number of people and replied.
Zhuo Chen nodded and wanted to get up.
Mo Shihuan saw him trembling, and hurriedly helped him up.
"What are you doing standing there?" Mo Shihuan helped Zhuo Chen to walk out, but he didn't hear any movement behind him, and when he turned his head, Pei Chengzhi was still standing in place, not moving, "It's time to go." ”
Pei Chengzhi took two steps forward and shook his head.
Mo Shihuan thought that he had repented, and he was puzzled.
"Wait, there are people around, don't go out just yet."
