Chapter 4 Poison
All the way to the outside of the palace, the sky was already a little dark.
Scarlet Smoke stepped out of the carriage, and the gilded "Xinling Palace" in front of her was a typing, but for some reason it warmed her heart.
Obviously, he has only known Wei Chimu for two days, but he feels inexplicably familiar, and this feeling has never been there.
Raising his feet and about to step into the mansion, a whip full of murderous aura came straight towards Scarlet Smoke's face.
Crimson Smoke's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly bent over and jumped to the side.
"Fox Meizi, you can actually do martial arts!"
The arrogant voice sounded in his ears, and Scarlet Yan looked at it, but saw a rather beautiful face.
She had never seen this woman in her two lives, so she killed her as soon as she met.
"Who are you?"
Mu Jiu took a puff at the crimson cigarette and said in disgust: "With you, you are also worthy of knowing Miss Ben's name?" As soon as the words fell, the blood-red whip was drawn towards Crimson's face again.
Rao is temper is good, Scarlet Smoke is also angry now, this woman is really too deceitful.
Dodged a whip sideways, casually threw the salute on his body aside, the dagger that had been hidden in the cuff was pulled out, and the scarlet smoke jumped forward and fought with Mu Jiu.
When she was young, she was sent to the mountains by her father because of her poor health, and followed an old man to travel all over the world, the old man was extremely strong in martial arts, especially internal force, but she had poor roots, could not control internal force, and was easy to backfire on herself, so the old man simply taught her the tricks of close assassination.
Scarlet Smoke is petite and flexible, and he has been in the mountains for more than ten years, and he has already mastered these moves, but at this moment, although Mu Jiu is holding an imposing whip, he is defeated by Scarlet Smoke.
The delicate arm was stabbed down by the dagger of the scarlet smoke, Ye Jiutong snorted, and the whip in his hand also fell to the ground. "Slut, you dare to hurt me!"
Scarlet sneered. "I don't really like the title of slut, so today I not only want to hurt you, but I also want to kill you!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and the fingers holding the dagger tightened, and quickly stabbed towards Ye Jiu's neck, and was about to pierce under the skin, but his arm was held by a powerful big hand, and then his body fell uncontrollably into a familiar embrace.
"King Xinling?"
Yu Chi Mu's thin lips were lightly pursed, and he raised his hand to put the dagger of Scarlet Smoke's fingers into the scabbard. "I'm here."
Scarlet Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Wei Chimu meant, this woman is afraid that she has a good background, if she is really killed, then she will definitely get into trouble.
When Mu Jiu saw Wei Chi Mu, he cried while covering the wound on his arm that kept spilling blood. "Brother Mu, this woman actually treated me like this, you can help me kill her."
Brother Mu?
Scarlet Yan glanced at Yu Chi Mu's handsome face, smiled lightly and lowered his head.
It seems to be a peach blossom, but I don't know what Wei Chimu's attitude is towards this peach blossom.
"Go back."
The voice without the slightest emotion fell in the night, and Mu Jiu took two steps forward in disbelief when he heard this. "Brother Mu, aren't you crazy? I'm your fiancée, and you're going to treat me like this for this woman! ”
Scarlet Smoke was quite surprised, fiancée? She didn't know that King Xinling had already made a marriage contract?
It's just that the woman in front of her is too superficial and arrogant, and she must not be the type that Wei Chimu likes.
A little impatience appeared in Yu Chi Mu Qinghan's eyes. "I don't want to say it a second time."
Mu Jiuxing's eyes were full of anger, and even her beautiful face was distorted. "Wei Chimu, aren't you afraid that you won't get the antidote again? Could it be that you are going to bleed to death for a woman! ”
"What does it have to do with you?"
The cold and alienated voice sounded again, Mu Jiu's feet were unstable, he staggered back two steps, and suddenly viciously slashed at the scarlet smoke beside Wei Chi Mu, and his voice was as fierce as quenching venom. "Slut, then I'll watch, how he died tragically because of you, I'll wait!"
Scarlet Yan twisted his eyebrows, and was about to ask, Mu Jiu's body quickly disappeared into the night, except for the faint smell of blood between his noses, it seemed that nothing had happened.
Scarlet Yan pursed her lips and looked apologetically at Wei Chimu beside her. "I'm in trouble." Not a question, but an affirmation.
"Nope." Yu Chimu raised his hand to brush away the scattered green silk on the cheeks of the scarlet cigarette, and said lightly: "Sooner or later, there will be this day, but it is a little earlier." ”
"You were poisoned?" Yin Tang was not dark, her breathing was smooth, her blood was as usual, and there was no sign of poisoning, why did the woman say that?
.“ It's just nonsense, why take it seriously, go in. Lifting his footsteps lightly, Yu Chimu hugged Scarlet Smoke and walked towards the house, Scarlet Yan looked at the hand beside him, and suddenly his face changed, and he escaped from Yu Chimu's arms sideways, and his fingers fell steadily on Yu Chimu's pulse.
Yu Chi Mu's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Scarlet Yan had already frowned and withdrew his hand. "You are indeed poisoned, the bloodthirsty charm of Southern Xinjiang."
Yu Chimu's face was still indifferent as usual, but there was a hint of anger in his intoxicating eyes like moonlight. "This king does not like disobedient women."
Scarlet chuckled. "Only this time, there is no exception." If it weren't for the woman just now saying that Wei Chimu would die because of her, she wouldn't want to provoke this man. "How long have you been bloodthirsty?"
Yu Chimu's thin lips tightened, and after a long time, he lightly spit out a few words. "Seven years."
"It's been seven years." Scarlet Smoke and thin eyebrows twisted slightly, this is not easy to do, the longer the poison of bloodthirsty charm lasts, the easier it will be to take root in the body, and it will be even more difficult to clear it when the time comes.
But this poison is obviously only found in the far south of Xinjiang, how could Wei Chimu fall for this poison?
"You know how to heal."
Scarlet nodded. "I know a little bit about it." The old man she followed back then also had a name, Medicine Saint.
Unlike doctors, she likes all kinds of poisons, and when she was with the old man, she also developed a lot, but the old man thought that these poisons were not shallow, so he burned them clean.
"Then do you know how to solve it?"
Yu Chimu's always indifferent voice was also mixed with a little anxiety, Scarlet Yan bit his red lips lightly, sighed and said: "I know, but the things that configure the antidote are too difficult to find, I can help you suppress it temporarily." ”
The bloodthirsty poisoned people did not live for more than three years, and how many dignitaries and dignitaries spent their efforts and financial resources to find an antidote in Jiuzhou, but they returned in vain, and were tortured to death by this poison.
Thinking that Yu Chimu, who was like an immortal in front of him, would also die like this, Scarlet Yan was inexplicably suppressed in his heart.
The cold wind blew on his cheeks, causing his body to tremble slightly, and Yu Chimu stepped forward slowly, raised his hand and covered the waist of the scarlet cigarette again, his expression had returned to normal. "Go home for dinner."
"Okay." Since she wants to take revenge on Yu Chimu, then she will do her best to save Yu Chimu's life, not for him, but for herself.
The maid arranged a separate courtyard in the palace for Scarlet Smoke.
The layout of this courtyard is no different from the one where Yu Chimu lives, and a few begonia trees stand in the courtyard, adding a little warmth.
Packed up the clothes he brought, lay on the bed with the scarlet smoke together, tossing and turning for a long time, but he couldn't fall asleep.
How can she help Yu Chimu get rid of the poison in her body, the things that this bloodthirsty charm needs can only be found in extremely cold places, not to mention people, and you can't even find things alive in that place.
Over the years, there have been many people who have gone there for the legendary treasures, but they have never been able to come out, Wei Chimu, as a prince, must have tried his best to find it, but found nothing, otherwise how could it have been delayed for seven years and not detoxified.
Today is the fourteenth, counting, tomorrow will be the day of the bloodthirsty charm, the fifteenth of the month, when the waning moon hangs on the branches, it is the coldest time of the day, and Yu Chi Mu will also become a monster described in the ancient books on that day.
Over the years, she had never seen the appearance of a bloodthirsty seizure, but just from what was written in the book, she could roughly guess a few points, and it was really hard to imagine how a man like Yu Chimu had survived the long seven years.
It's fifteen again.
The scarlet waning moon hung in the sky, and the huge palace of Xinling was empty, and even the guards guarding the gate were nowhere to be found.
Scarlet Smoke could clearly smell a strong smell of blood, and she sat in the room for a day, waiting for this moment.
Looking for the smell of blood, in the dark night, she actually found a dungeon behind the palace of the king of Xinling.
This dungeon is made of cold iron, and even the lock on the door is so hard that it can never be broken by man.
Scarlet Smoke's face was a little pale, even if she hadn't seen Wei Chimu yet, she could guess how terrifying this bloodthirsty charm was when she had an attack, and she actually had to be locked in this kind of dungeon to trap him.
took out the silver hairpin in the sideburns, and gently picked the scarlet smoke into the lock heart, and the lock was opened with a "snap" in a moment.
Calmly retracted the hairpin and inserted it into his hair, the candle flame in Scarlet Smoke's hand flickered in the night wind, and the strange atmosphere around made Scarlet Smoke's footsteps gradually slow down.
In this huge prison, there was only one cell, and there was a suppressed roar in his ears, and the roots of the scarlet smoke moved slightly, and he took three steps and two steps in the direction where the sound came from.
I don't know what kind of viscous liquid got on my shoes, Scarlet Smoke didn't have time to care, took a few steps forward, raised his head and looked at the scene in the cell, suddenly full of horror, and gasped.
She had never seen such a horrific scene in her life.
In the dim and damp cell, Wei Chimu was wrapped in iron chains, only his face was exposed, and his limbs were bound to the wall by hooks made of cold iron, and he was already drenched in flesh and blood from the struggle.
The green silk, which was much softer than a woman, turned pure white inch by inch at this moment, and was scattered on her face, and the ends of her hair were stained with blood.
The fingers holding the candle trembled unconsciously, and the candle rolled to the ground with a "bang", and Wei Chimu, who was still hanging his head, suddenly raised his face.
That handsome and peerless face was stained with blood, and I don't know what it was, it was wriggling under the skin, especially the eyes that made people sink, but they were scarlet at the moment, and blood kept oozing out.
"Snort, snort."
A hoarse and strange voice overflowed from Wei Chimu's throat, and his scarlet eyes were full of fanaticism and bloodlust, as if the scarlet smoke in front of him seemed to him to be just a prey waiting to be skinned and cramped at any time.
Scarlet Smoke unconsciously retreated, the remaining candles on the ground had been extinguished, and only the hazy moonlight around made Scarlet Smoke barely make out the direction.
It turns out that this is the legendary bloodthirsty charm?
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise in his ears, and the iron chain that was originally wrapped around Yu Chimu's body was actually broken by internal force, and the legendary cold iron hook that no one could destroy also turned into a pile of scrap iron and fell at Yu Chimu's feet.
Scarlet Smoke's heart sank, and he quickly ran out, the footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and he was about to run out of prison, but Scarlet Smoke stopped alive.
No, no!
If she escaped, and Wei Chimu's appearance was seen by the world, wouldn't he be called a demon? How will he survive in the south then?
Gritting his teeth, Crimson closed the iron door, turned around and rushed in the direction of Yu Chimu.
