Vol. II-22 The Owner of a Small Woodware Shop (Part I)
Owner of a small carpentry shop (above)
All these Tang family children also have Princess Jing'an's movements, and naturally someone has reported them to the grandmother and Tang Lan. At the same time, some people observed all this from afar through Lan Xin, and then wrote it as a secret protection and sent it back to the hands of the Mongolian prince Tieermu. The man who wrote this report was the man who had been with Lan Xin for the past few days, Lan Xin's landlord, and he named himself Wang Yong. He has been in Xianyang for almost two years. Ostensibly he was the owner of a small carpentry shop, but in fact he was the head of Prince Tieermu's fine work in Xianyang City. Their most important task here is to monitor the movements of the Tang Gate and find a way to infiltrate. But the Tang Gate is so easy to penetrate. The collection of intelligence on the Tang Gate can only be through surveillance and investigation in the periphery. I didn't even have a chance to talk to a few sons of the Tang Sect.
When he found out that Lan Xin was Xinjie's former fiancée, he was like a treasure. Lan Xin is more familiar with the situation of the Tang family than ordinary people. And everyone knows that she is crazy about Xinjie, so when she appears near Tangzhuang or the old mansion of the Tang family, people will only think that she is waiting for Xinjie, and will not suspect that she is spying on something else. Wang Yong has done his best in the past few days, so that Lan Xin has gradually become addicted to physical sex with him, and in the process, she has spoken to him in the process. He pretended to be extremely sympathetic to her on the surface, and interrogated various details in the name of helping Lan Xin analyze her opponent. Then give her ideas and teach her how to better follow and observe Xinjie and Lian'er, how to observe the rest of the Tang family, maybe it will become her reference in the future. Lan Xin was obedient and obedient to him, and every day when he came back, he told him in detail all the details of what he had seen and heard. He certainly reciprocated with further guidance and physical pleasure.
Not only did Lan Xin not have any doubts about his purpose, but she felt that she had met a good person. Although he possessed her body, she also enjoyed it greatly. This feeling of being cared for both mentally and physically is something she has not seen for a long time in the past few years. Now Xinjie is just a goal for her, and there is no longer the scene of having fun with her in dreams and fantasizing about his caresses all the time. Instead, Wang Yong replaced his physiological role, satisfying her spring dreams one by one. Sometimes she also thought about simply following Wang Yong to live, but she was unwilling, unwilling to let that demon girl enjoy his favor and glory and wealth by Xinjie's side. Although Wang Yong is clean and clean, and his figure is good and strong, he can only say that he is pleasing to the eye, far less outstanding and handsome than Xinjie. Although Wang Yong has a small business, his income is limited after all. When she was taken care of by Xinjie and lived in a small courtyard, Xinjie sent people every month for living expenses that Wang Yong's small shop could only earn for a year. In the past few days, she has seen that the demon girl has a lot of new clothes and jewelry, and these expensive things, which should have belonged to her, are now occupied by the demon girl. She regretted that she had left after the Seven Evil Stars had been released that day, and that she had not killed her with another stab.
For these hatreds and curses of her, Wang Yong followed her, and taught her to learn to be patient, and to take revenge on that woman in the most cruel way in the future, death is actually not the greatest torture for a person. This is an enlightenment that makes her very happy and satisfied. Lan Xin didn't know that Wang Yong wanted to not only get the news and dynamics of the Tang Sect through her, but also create chaos in the Tang Sect through her possible means, especially to weaken the combat effectiveness of the two eldest sons of the Tang Sect. According to his thoughts, any attack that Lan Xin might make on Tang Xinjie's cousin could be a blow to him. In this way, part of the task given to him by the prince was completed. If Lan Xin misses anything during the attack, people will only suspect that it is a love feud, and will not think of anything else.
This day is already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and Xinjie and they have been returning to Tangzhuang from the old mansion for a few days. After returning to Zhuangzi, every day Xinjie would take Lian'er out for a walk or horseback riding. Because the weather was cold, Lian'er had just recovered, and Xinjie was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she chose to go out at noon when the sun was good. Xinjie was not worried about letting her ride a horse by herself, and the two of them rode the same horse. In winter, the countryside is depressed, there are few pedestrians and farmers on the road, and most people are at home preparing for the New Year. Lan Xin didn't dare to follow too closely, for fear that Xinjie would find out about her, after all, his martial arts were too high. But from a distance, she could often see these two people entangled intimately on the horse, and these scenes stimulated the desire in her body, which was very difficult, and she wanted to kill the demon girl with a knife.
Today they rode their horses to the edge of the stream, and stopped under a big tree. Xinjie leaned against the trunk of the tree, Lian'er put his arms around Xinjie's neck, talking and laughing, he held her waist with one hand, and slowly played with her hair with the other. After a while, he suddenly began to kiss her, as if no one was around, very engaged.
Lan Xin watched from afar, and the anger in her heart was soaring. She took out a white porcelain vase that Wang Yong gave her, and Wang Yong told her that the medicinal powder here can disfigure people's faces, and it cannot be cured for life. She knew that if Xinjie was sober, she wouldn't be able to do it. She's pretty experienced that when men are so obsessed, they're basically defenseless. She lifted the cap and slowly and quietly approached them. Just when she was about to get close to the range of attack, a gust of cold air hit her hand holding the medicine bottle, she felt a piercing pain in her wrist, the medicine bottle had flown out of her hand, and a large burst of green smoke came out of the powder inside after it landed, obviously the things here can not only disrupt people's faces, but can kill people, much more poisonous than she imagined, making her feel scared. If she really got close to them just now, she might not only hurt the demon girl, but even affect Xinjie. While she was still in a daze for the medicine, her father and eldest brother appeared in front of her, and Xinjie and Lian'er also stood there watching her.
The day after Lian'er was injured, Xinjie asked his father to send a letter to Lan Xin's father and brother. Although the father and son of the Lan family knew that after Lan Xin escaped from home, they would come to find Xinjie, but they thought that she was just making trouble, anyway, the people of the Tang family had a good temper and good cultivation, even if they didn't wait to see Lan Xin, they couldn't make a big mess, so they didn't chase after her. But they didn't expect that she would use such a ruthless trick as the Seven Evil Stars to attack Lian'er. Tang Lan did not accuse them in the letter, but simply recounted the facts, telling them that Lan Xin almost used the Seven Evil Stars to kill his niece, who was mediocre in martial arts. This made Lan Xin's father feel ashamed, and immediately rushed over with his eldest son.
On the night of Xinjie's return to Zhuangzi, Lan Xin's father and brother also arrived in Tangzhuang. They had been searching the neighborhood for several days, but they had found no trace of Lan Xin. There are many villages around Tangzhuang, the roads are complicated, and it is difficult for people to find out if she hides where she does not move. In the end, Xinjie decided that she could only rely on herself and Lian'er to lure her out, and then her father and brother brought her back. In this way, for a few days, Xinjie took Lian'er out and walked around. With Xinjie's martial arts, he had already noticed that someone was following them, but the Lan family father and son could not confirm that the person who was following them was Lan Xin, and they could not lock the specific location of the stalker, for fear that they would not be able to hold her, and it would be even more difficult to find her if she ran away. Although Lan Xin's kung fu has been learned from her father and brother since she was a child, she has been more perceptive than several brothers since she was a child, and her kung fu is also better than them, and she has surpassed Lan's father in recent years. And he has been tracking Xinjie all the year round, and he has a lot of experience and rich practical experience. If you only rely on the Lan family's father and son, it is estimated that it will be in vain.
There is really no way, today Xinjie pretended to be forgetful. He had just wanted to provoke her to get emotionally disturbed and run out on her own. But he didn't expect her to come with poison, and it was such a strong poison. When she was still ten steps away, Xinjie could see clearly that she was holding a medicine bottle in her hand, although she didn't know what was inside, but it was definitely dangerous, and her attack angle could still be determined to be Lian'er. So he hurriedly used his sword qi to shoot down the medicine bottle in her hand. This blow is the essence of the cultivation of the jade gate's sword, Xinjie only carried three points of strength, and his attack power at ten steps away has exceeded the melee attack of the real sword used by ordinary people. Although Lan Xin was a master when she used the knife and the Seven Evil Stars, she only wanted to attack Lian'er just now, and she basically had no defense, and she didn't have a knife in her hand, so she didn't even have basic protection. So Xinjie struck with a sword, not only shocking the medicine bottle in her hand, but also shattering her wrist bone.
When the poison landed, not only Lan Xin herself was surprised, but her father and brother were even more surprised. They were a little suspicious when they read that she had used the poisoned Seven Evil Stars to attack a woman with mediocre martial arts, and now they saw her attack people with such a violent poison, which made them feel ashamed. Xinjie was also shocked, judging from the cigarette just now, this poison was by no means ordinary, although he knew that Lan Xin was paranoid and manic, but she was not a master of preparing poison, and this was not something she could get casually. His mind was full of doubts. Lan Xin's father was going to take her away immediately, but Xinjie stopped them, and he had to figure out where the poison came from. Lian'er was also shocked by the poison. She had read through the toxicology of the Tang Mansion collection, and quickly remembered which poison might have caused such a phenomenon. She carefully observed the marks on the ground, and the drug had completely evaporated, except for a black stain similar to charcoal burning.
After they returned to Tangzhuang, they came to the small courtyard in the south where Lan Xin had been last time, and invited Tang Lan, Xintian, Xinyuan, and Xinye. Xinjie probably told his father for a while, and then stood in front of Lan Xin and looked at her for a long time, and said very sadly: "Lan Xin, do you hate me so much? You want to kill me with such a poisonous medicine? ”
Lian'er stood not far behind Lan Xin, she could see Xinjie's face head-on, and she saw that Xinjie's eyes were always very sad when she looked at Lan Xin. After Xinjie asked what he had just said, his eyes became even more sad and sad, and he didn't say anything else. Lian'er's heart twitched, he was using Lan Xin's feelings for him to induce a confession.
Lan Xin was obviously deeply touched by him, for all these years, the man she was chasing had never looked at her so closely, and with such moving eyes.
"Xinjie, how could I want to hurt you? I will never hurt you. I just want to punish the enchantress who seduced you. Xinjie didn't speak, he continued to look at her, and waited for her to continue: "I just want to ruin her face, definitely not to hurt you." ”
"Just to ruin Lian'er's face?"
"Yes, Wang Yong said that if you sprinkle those medicinal powders on that demon girl's face, there will be some big bubbles that will never get better, and you will never want to touch her for the rest of your life."
"Who is Wang Yong?" Lan Xin didn't answer, and Xinjie's gaze still didn't leave her face. "Did he tell you what would happen if you sprinkled those powders on Lian'er and I touched her?" Lan Xin just shook her head.
"In other words, the medicine was given to you by Wang Yong? Where are the others? Lan Xin didn't speak, Xinjie waited for a while, "Then did he tell you what this thing is called?"
"Nope."
"Really?"
"Not really."
"Then why should he help you? Or are you doing something for him? Of course, Lan Xin couldn't tell him that Wang Yong helped her, because they had a physical relationship.
"I'm not doing things for him, I'm just renting his house."
"Just rent his house and he'll help you plan this kind of thing? The money I gave you a few years ago should be enough to keep you on the back of your life for many years, but not enough to buy someone to do it for you, right? Did he tell you where the medicine came from? Lan Xin still shook her head.
"Then tell me where he is?"
Lan Xin still didn't speak, and her father suddenly became angry and reached out to slap her, but the new hand stopped him.
"Uncle, don't worry, maybe Lan Xin really doesn't know what this medicine is. Then let me tell you, this thing is called black stone powder, it is a kind of poison that is difficult to refine, if it does not touch the body, it will quickly weather, and it is no longer toxic, but if it falls on the body, the person who sees it will be the marquis, and the body of the deceased will be highly poisonous, and anyone who touches the body will be poisoned, as a medium for the poison to continue to spread. If you did attack Lian'er just now, I would definitely touch her body, so you know what the consequences will be now? ”
"No way, you're scaring me."
"Lian'er, bring her the book you picked up in the big study just now."
Lian'er handed the book over. Based on the traces and various phenomena on the ground, they had just concluded that it was the black stone powder on the collection of foreign poisons that they had collected, which was extracted from a special ore and some poisonous weeds in Monan. But whether it is the raw materials, the tools and skills of refining, they are quite demanding, and it is not something that Orchid can do by herself. The phenomena recorded in the book are exactly the same as what they have just seen. Lan Xin stood there speechless in shock. Xinjie took the book back and handed it to Lian'er. He put his hands on Lan Xin's shoulders, "Can you tell me who Wang Yong is now?" Where is he? ”
