Chapter 71: I have to find a substitute for the dead
Li Shenlong frowned and bowed his head, his clothes were all covered with mud. Dongfang Ai felt guilty and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, if it weren't for saving me, your clothes wouldn't have been soiled." ”
Li Shenlong smiled disappreciatively: "What stupid thing are you talking about?" Your life is priceless, worth more than this garment. ”
While speaking, Li Shenlong took out a handkerchief and wiped it on his clothes, and said, "I don't know what the origin of that group of people was just now, didn't you see anyone on the road?" ”
Dongfang Ai looked angrily at the group of horses in the distance ahead, and said indignantly: "That's the horse of the White Tiger Hall!" Those horses are as unsightly and unreasonable as their masters! ”
Dongfang Ai's jealous and hateful appearance made Li Shenlong mistakenly think that she had a grudge against White Tiger Hall.
"What's wrong? You also have a grudge against the White Tiger Hall? ”
Dongfang Ai wiped Li Shenlong's clothes and said: "It's not that there is a grudge, it's just that the cold wind has brought these people from the White Tiger Hall to our Xuanwu Gate to make a fortune, not to mention how arrogant those people are, it seems that our Xuanwu Gate is under the control of their White Tiger Hall." ”
Li Shenlong was unconvinced, how could Leng Fengjie and Su Shanao be arrogant? They simply treat other people's lives like ants, and trample on them!
……
Xuanwu Gate Lobby
Leng Feng was dressed in a splendid dragon white robe, he sat on the top of the high hall, a pair of eagle eyes looked down at Du Heng under the stairs, this lofty posture seemed to be the supreme master of the Xuanwu Sect.
"Senior Brother Du, you lost two secret guards one after another, even if I don't blame you for this matter, the sect leader will be dissatisfied with you." Leng Fengjue's tone was flat, hiding coldness, and he didn't know who the "sect leader" he was talking about.
Du Heng was about forty years old, he was wearing an ink-colored robe, his face was gentle, and he didn't look like a martial artist.
He clasped his hands into fists and said: "Senior Brother Leng, this matter is indeed the fault of the junior brother, today Qin Guang has escorted twelve strong men to the Ghost King Mountain, and I will personally supervise the training at that time!" ”
Leng Fengjue stood up, stood on tiptoe, and slowly landed beside Du Heng.
"Senior Brother Du, the matter of the secret guard has been settled, but when will that medicine be refined?"
Du Heng wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something unspeakable in it, and after a while, Du Heng said ambiguously: "Senior brother doesn't dare to say when it will be refined, because ...... Because of the method of medicine, it seems that a few steps are missing. ”
Leng Feng sneered, he snorted coldly, and only used Du Heng's words as an excuse.
"Are you questioning the authenticity of 'The Treasure of Poisoning'? This was snatched by the sect leader himself from the Divine Medicine Workshop back then, so there shouldn't be a fake, right? If it is true or false, then how can the previous Pill of Returning Children be refined? ”
Du Heng sighed helplessly, Leng Fengjie gave him the "Poison Making Treasure" six years ago, and asked him to refine it into the Poison Pill, the Returning Tong Pill, the Tianyin Scorpion Poison and the Detoxification Elixir, but he refined it for six years, and only refined the Tianyin Scorpion Poison and the Returning Tong Pill, as for the Poison Pill and the Detoxification Pill, no matter how he followed the steps on the "Poison Making Treasure" to refine, he just couldn't refine it.
"Senior Brother Leng, Senior Brother will definitely do his best to refine the Poison Pill, and I hope Senior Brother Leng can say a few kind words for Senior Brother at the sect master."
The cold wind was lazy and casually fiddled with the white jade wrench on his fingers, and the chill in his eyes seemed to make the wrenches stained with a layer of mist.
He gave Du Heng six years, but Du Heng disappointed him, and those who disappointed him usually had only a dead end!
"Senior brother, do it yourself, even if senior brother wants to give you time, you have to ask the sect leader if you agree."
Du Heng couldn't help but break out in a thin cold sweat on his forehead, he knew that this was a warning from the cold wind, if he didn't refine it into a poisonous pill, I was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself.
……
Li Shenlong and Dongfang Ai returned to the Xuanwu Gate, and a group of guards from the White Tiger Hall in front of them guarded the front of the Xuanwu Gate Hall, as Dongfang Ai said, the White Tiger Hall was more like the master of the Xuanwu Gate!
Li Shenlong found Su Shanao's figure in front of the lobby door, and he was happy in his heart, he could scare Su Shanao again at this time!
Li Shenlong tiptoed around from the corridor on the side to Su Shanao, and then put a heavy hand on Su Shanao's shoulder.
As soon as Su Shanao turned around, he found a pair of white eyes facing him, "Ah-" Su Shanao exclaimed, and was so frightened that he retreated again and again, if it weren't for the pillar behind him blocking him, he would have fallen to the ground at this moment.
Su Shanao was stunned with fright, and the horror in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Hahaha......" Looking at Su Shanao, who was frightened by himself, Li Shenlong couldn't help laughing, he shrugged his shoulders with laughter, his eyes narrowed into a slit, he just rolled his eyes against Su Shanao's face just now, and scared him into this stupid look.
Su Shan was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, he calmed down a little, thinking back to the "ghost thing" he met near the Xuanwu Gate last night, and then looking at the person standing alive in front of him, he couldn't believe that Li Shenlong was not dead?!
"You...... Why aren't you dead? Su Shanao looked stunned with an expression of disbelief.
Hearing this, Li Shenlong smiled, his face was wrinkled, and his face was full of grievances.
"Hey! Is there anyone like you greeting people? When others meet, they ask if you have eaten? It's good for you to ask why people didn't die? How did your mom and dad teach you to speak? ”
Su Shanao's head was a little confused, so that he didn't listen to what Li Shenlong said just now, and just thought in his heart, why didn't this Li Shenlong die? He was fed Tianyin scorpion venom by Shu Yao, and it is impossible for him to be alive......
I have 100,000 questions in my head, and I don't know who to ask for answers.
Dongfang Ai walked over, and when she saw Su Shanao's stunned expression, she knew that he had a ghost in his heart, and now, she was even more sure that Li Shenlong's poisoning was absolutely inseparable from Su Shanao.
"Master Su, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like a thief? ”
Su Shanao came back to his senses, he fixed his mind, and retorted: "Who...... Whoever is a thief has a weak heart, don't talk nonsense! ”
"Squeak-" The door opened.
Leng Fengjue and Du Heng walked out of the lobby, as soon as Leng Fengjue stepped out of the door, he met Li Shenlong's face, his resolute and cold face instantly froze, his sword eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, and the surprise in his heart was no less than that of Su Shanao.
Didn't Li Shenlong be fed Tianyin scorpion venom by Shu Yao? How could he still stand in front of him intact now? What the hell is going on? Could it be that Li Shenlong didn't take the poison? Still is...... He takes an antidote?
Such a thought appeared in his heart and was immediately denied by him, this Li Shenlong is a stinky bastard, how could it be such a rare and precious pill as the poison pill and the antidote elixir?
Li Shenlong completely ignored Leng Fengjue, he walked to Du Heng's side with a sad face, and cried: "Ouch, Master Dumen! Help me! I was poisoned in the imperial capital city before, and almost lost my life, fortunately, I met the county lord of Yining, I begged the county lord in every possible way to let me avoid the limelight in the Xuanwu Gate, and this time I came to the Xuanwu Gate to seek the protection of the door master! Door master, your Xuanwu Gate is safe, right? I'm not going to lose my life in Xuanwumen, am I? ”
Du Heng didn't know the grievances between Li Shenlong and Baihutang, just as he was an ordinary ordinary person, although Du Heng did things for Leng Feng, he would not forget that he was still a third-grade official of the imperial court at the moment, if this little person was in trouble, he still had to pretend to help.
"Of course our Xuanwu Gate is safe, but you are an outsider, you can't stay in Xuanwu Gate for too long, if you are poisoned and murdered in the Imperial Capital City, you can seek refuge in the Protectorate Villa."
Su Shanao's face was pale, Li Shenlong's implication was nothing more than to let Du Heng protect him, if Li Shenlong died in Xuanwu Gate, maybe Dongfang Ai, who had a good relationship with him, would publicize this matter, and at that time, it would be either Du Heng or their White Tiger Hall who would be suspected!
It's all to blame Shu Yao's stinky girl for lying that Li Shenlong is dead, he listened to Shu Yao's words at the beginning, and swore in front of the hall master that Li Shenlong had been poisoned by Shu Yao, but now it's good, and he was slapped silently by Li Shenlong.
……
In the Xuanwu Gate guest room
Su Shanao clenched his fists with both hands, stood in front of Leng Fengjie with his head down, and said, "Hall Master, Shu Yao did tell me that she had poisoned Li Shenlong, and her subordinates ...... The subordinates didn't know why Li Shenlong would be safe and sound. ”
The cold wind stood in front of the window, his deep eyes looked directly at the moon in the night sky, and his handsome face under the moonlight was not shocked, but he had a guess in his heart.
"Tianyin scorpion venom is a kind of poison recorded in the "Poison Making Treasure Book", you must use the detoxification elixir or poison pill to detoxify, this detoxification elixir can cure the world's strange poison, and people who take the poison pill will not be poisoned within a year, if Li Shenlong did not die after being poisoned by the Tianyin scorpion poison, then he is very likely to have taken one of these two pills."
Su Shanao wondered: "Hall Master, Li Shenlong was rescued by Dongfang Ai, that stinky girl shouldn't have such a precious pill, right?" After all, we have been refining the poison pill and the detoxification elixir for six years without success, so how can there be a stinky girl? ”
Leng Feng frowned, Li Shenlong was a stinky gangster who had not been deeply involved in the world, but he was able to escape assassination three times and several times, and now even the Tianyin Scorpion Venom failed to kill him.
It seems that this Li Shenlong's identity is not simple, is it ...... He's from the Divine Medicine Workshop? But the Divine Medicine Workshop has disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and it may not be easy to find out Li Shenlong's true identity.
Su Shanao suddenly thought of something again, and said: "By the way, hall master, the four secret guards sent to assassinate Li Shenlong before, his subordinates suspect that it is very likely that they were taken away by the Protector Villa, because Huangfu Hongyi and his party also passed through Taoyuan Town that night, and his subordinates guessed, could it be that Huangfu Hongyi rescued Li Shenlong, so that Li Shenlong escaped our assassination smoothly?" ”
Leng Fengjie pondered for a moment, raised his sword eyebrows, and said casually: "If this is the case, then the Protector Mountain Villa may have discovered the origin of those secret guards, and during this time, let's not startle the snake." ”
"But Shu Yao has already gone to Ghost King Mountain, and Du Heng will pass tomorrow, so ...... they" Su Shan was secretly worried, if this was the case, wouldn't Shu Yao and Du Heng definitely go wrong?
"In this matter, we have to find a few substitutes ......for the dead ghosts," Leng Feng chuckled lightly, this evil and charming smile was intoxicating, and the tone of the understatement seemed to be explaining something that had nothing to do with him.
