Chapter 66: Gu Xin San
"Dumb, what are you doing there?" Tang Kang shouted at Carl, "Why don't you come into the store and rest." ”
Along the way, Tang Kang couldn't talk to anyone, and those who were soldiers seemed to him to be more unpleasant than the other, not to mention the leading Shi Li. So he was very depressed in his heart, and he could only complain to Carl when he was fine.
And Carl didn't speak along the way, so he kept treating Carl as a dumb person.
Hearing Tang Kang's shout, Carl also entered the courtyard of the inn, handed over the horse to the shopkeeper and moved to the stable.
Mo and Elilan were still standing at the door of the inn, and it seemed that selling horses was not as easy as they thought.
Just when the two were about to give up, two more men came to the west. The head man had a pair of triangular eyes, a pair of rat whiskers, and a sense of agility all over his body. In comparison, the man behind him looked a little wooden.
"Selling horses?" The triangular eyes glanced at Amo and Elilan, and then at the horse they were holding in their hands, it was indeed a good horse.
"Sell!" said Elilan.
"Let's make a price. ”
Elilan thought for a moment and said, "One price, ten gold coins." ”
"It's expensive. ”
Elilan said: "In Rock Iron City, such a horse can be sold for ten gold coins!"
"But this is not Rock Iron City. The triangular eye glanced at the sword on Amo's waist, it turned out that they were from Rock Iron City, so this sword must not be too bad.
Elilan thought for a moment and said, "Then how much money are you going to pay?"
"Can't afford to pay too much. ”
"But it's a good horse. ”
"A horse is a good horse indeed. Triangle Eye stroked his beard and said, "But we are not short of horses, but you two are short of money." ”
That's right, Elilan said in her heart, this person seems to be an old Jianghu, and he broke through the dilemma of the two of us with one word. Anyway, this horse doesn't matter to us, so we might as well sell it to them cheaper.
She was about to speak, but she heard Mo say, "If you sincerely want to buy, you can tell a price first, and if you don't buy it, just leave it." ”
The triangular eyes smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Little brother's temper is not small, but if you sell it along with this sword, I may be able to pay you a high price!"
"Swords, they are not for sale. ”
Elilan also said, "Yes, we don't sell swords. ”
"Huh. He looked at the coarse rag on Amo's body and said, "Anyway, where did the sword come from?" ”
"If you don't buy a horse. Amo said, "You can go." ”
"Did I guess it?" Triangle Eyes said: "If I report to the official, let alone this horse and sword, you two won't be able to eat and walk around." ”
"Why do you say our swords were stolen?" said Elilan.
Triangle Eye said: "Because no matter how you look at it, you two don't look like people who can use swords." ”
"So what do you want. "Amo was already a little upset.
"Ten gold coins, huh?" the man in black appeared in front of them at some point, "then sell it to me." ”
He placed the purse in Elilan's hand, and then took the reins from her hand.
He led the horse, turned around and said quietly: "The things in the rivers and lakes, even if they kill someone, what does it have to do with you?"
"Well said, hahaha. Triangle Eyes laughed, "Your Excellency is indeed a master. ”
"Hmph. The man in black sneered, noncommittal.
He led the horse and went to the stable.
Behind him, the triangular eyes secretly clenched their fists, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips, and none of this escaped Amo's eyes.
Elilan pulled Amo and then caught up with the man in black who was heading to the stable: "This gentleman, thank you just now. ”
"I buy horses, you sell horses, it's a matter of course, what is there to thank. The man in black said as he leashed his horse.
Ah Mo said: "Sir, that person just now, you better be careful." ”
"It doesn't matter. The man in black said that and walked away.
Elilan said: "This person is very strange, why don't we stay in this inn today." ”
Amo said: "Yes. ”
In one of the guest rooms of the Tianqi Inn, the triangular eye said to his attendant: "I'll stay here, you go back to report to the big boss, just say that today's meat is very fat, it's still the same, and you will start at the third watch." ”
"Yes, Third Master. ”
This third master is the third master of Daoma Village, the roe rat Keding, although this person does not have any great skills, but he is scheming, so he is also a difficult character.
Daomazhai is an emerging bandit force in the rivers and lakes in recent years, making a living by robbing past business travelers.
The great boss Lexa, the king of the wilderness, made two flying axes and was brave. The second master, Li Tianqiu, is a master of using drugs, and he is also a sinister and ruthless character.
Early in the morning, I heard that a team of people and horses were coming from the direction of Wangcheng, so he specially sent the third Ke Ding to inquire about the news, and carried a bottle of Gu Xin San to secretly cast it. Gu Xinsan was not a deadly poison, but because it was easy to cast, Li Tianqiu gave this poison to Ke Ding.
Just smash the vial containing Gu Xinsan at the tuyere, and the poisonous powder will melt into the air and spread. Within 100 meters, as long as you breathe a breath of air, you will be poisoned immediately.
This poison is colorless and odorless, and even the poisoned person cannot know it.
The poison effect is to make the poisoned person react sluggishly, and the sight seen by the eyes will be delayed for more than three seconds. For example, if you see someone draw their sword and stab you, but if you are hit by Gu Xinsan, then your head may have fallen off when you see the other person draw their sword.
Because of the sluggishness of thought, there is a delay in judgment and action. Although the poisoner himself cannot detect it, in the eyes of those who are not poisoned, he is a lamb to the slaughter.
It is precisely by virtue of the special medicinal properties of Gu Xinsan that the people of Daomazhai do things, no matter what kind of masters they meet, they have never missed.
Even locking yourself in your room is not immune to poisoning, because the air can carry toxins into the room through the cracks in the doors and windows. And it was precisely to ensure that the toxin could spread smoothly to every corner of the inn room, so they agreed to start at the third watch.
But now, it is still a little early before the time of poisoning, so this bottle of Gu Xinsan is still in Keding's hand.
In the dining room on the first floor of the inn, Lin Fei'er, General Shi Li, and his subordinates were all sitting at the dining table. After running on the road for so many days, everyone was naturally very happy to finally be able to eat a leftover dinner.
However, without General Shi Li's order, everyone still sat in a proper manner, and no one dared to move their chopsticks first.
Carl shook his head secretly in his heart, although these people were all dressed in civilian clothes, they still couldn't change the style of the soldiers in every move. Even if they could find the bounty hunters, then before they did, Gondor would surely discover their motives first.
