Chapter 438: Keep struggling
That brother Gang tried to maintain his composure on his face, but his heart was up and down.
"Just ...... Brother Gang ......, "The other two guys who touched the brocade box also panicked.
Three people were poisoned, three pills, one of which was still in each other's fingers, and if there was a slight accident, an antidote would turn into ashes, then one of them would inevitably be sacrificed and given a small life.
"It seems that our hand is not quite right, it is indeed a sign of poisoning, we are not reckless!"
"That's right! Brother Gang, let's be cautious. ”
Both of them were afraid that they would not be able to save their lives, so they began to persuade almost at the same time.
In fact, Brother Gang was also nervous, "What does the county lord want?" ”
There was a play, and Cheng Ziyu was slightly relieved.
Naturally, she is talking nonsense, there is no poison that kills quickly, and there is no antidote.
Since ancient times, Shu has been full of poisonous miasma, and it is a place where poisonous Gu and witchcraft are particularly prevalent.
And although Mrs. Lin is from Shudi, she is not engaged in assassination, who will have nothing to do with some poison on her body. There are medicines around her, but only insecticidal and snake-killing poisons and some essential medicines for self-defense.
Cheng Ziyu didn't expect it to be too far at first.
The paintings in the brocade box were used for another purpose, but the box took up too much space, so she took the paintings alone. She even dismantled the scroll, leaving only the landscape painting part, and then folded it up for Liu Er's personal collection.
She wasn't sure if the other person would remember the painting. But she could try to use it.
So on the brocade box, they smeared some anesthetic poison against animals, mixed some snake repellent and insect repellent medicine, and picked some charcoal ash from the boiling water stove along the original pattern of the brocade box.
They also adhered to the principle that dead horses are treated as live horse doctors, and they didn't have time to try the specific effect, and they didn't know if it would work. When she threw it out, Liu Er also took a rag and rolled it on her fingers......
At the moment, it seems that luck is good.
It is probably because the smell is messy after the mixing of multiple drugs, and the other party cannot tell whether it is poison or not.
Although the other party did not have poisonous hair, he could feel a little numbness and burning.
This is due to the fact that snake repellent and insect repellent drugs generally contain some hot substances such as sulfur, lime, and wine, and the heat sensation that occurs naturally after skin contact.
And those black ashes, coupled with her exaggeration, the other party is nervous and in a hurry, and she can really fool for a while.
As for the antidote...... It's just a big tonic pill for Mrs. Lin.
The black ones are enough to deceive people from afar.
There are more than a dozen big tonic pills, but I saw from the gap that three people had touched the brocade box, so there could only be three natural "antidotes", and there could be no more. Then the other party will get nervous.
And for Cheng Ziyu and the others, having said so much and delaying it for so long, even if it is discovered immediately, it is already a success......
And the other party really panicked.
The elder brother's face changed several times, only to feel that his palms were getting hotter and hotter, and his arms were a little numb, but he couldn't imagine that this was due to snake repellent medicine and not because of some poison.
"Does it feel numb, itchy, and hot? Tell you, this poison will soon spread, and when the poison reaches the heart, you will die. "The voice that I thought was nice was now completely vicious.
"Oh, why do you think the seventy-odd people behind you haven't come? Because they have been poisoned by the miasma we have released, they have all become soft-footed shrimp at the moment, and my men are cleaning up the mess in the back. Why do you think I stopped the carriage and waited for you? It's because we've been sure to handle you! None of you can escape! Soon you will all be poisoned! ”
The crowd was in an uproar. Could this be the reason why the rear pursuit team has not yet arrived?
In fact, most people, including Brother Gang, have already believed it.
Otherwise, it won't make sense at all. It can't explain the calmness of Cheng Ziyu's group, nor the disappearance of the pursuers.
Did those brothers get poisoned?
This kind of poison, they have only heard of it, but they don't understand it. The old lady of Nalin is from Shu, and it is very likely that Shu has been poisonous since ancient times.
But...... What do you mean they will all be poisoned? Are they also poisoned?
"What do you mean?"
"You all know it, you have all been poisoned! Do you think we're just poisoning the brocade box? Brother Gang, do you think you're the only one who got poisoned? The poison was already in the air as we watched you coming. You also lit torches, and a high temperature in your vicinity will only speed up the development of the poison. ”
Mrs. Lin also answered sonorously:
"I'm not a good man! Who hasn't met anyone walking the rivers and lakes? Robbery, vendettas, murder, murder, and goods, I can become the head of a big family as a woman, and I can walk around the world, and I can still have no defense at hand? You're underestimating me, too!
Today, it was my negligence that led to Wan Mingyang's dang. If I had known that Wan Mingyang was a scumbag, I would have fed him poison today. If it weren't for Xiao Wu's caution not to let me get on the boat, I would have poisoned you all and laid you all down, and there would be no such at this time! ”
Cheng Ziyu smiled and gave Mrs. Lin a thumbs up, and when she saw it, those guys covered their noses and took half a step back when they heard this.
Mrs. Lin also knew that time was precious, and she had no choice but to follow Cheng Ziyu to talk nonsense.
"Let me tell you, the most important thing around me Lin Yihua is all kinds of poisons and all kinds of Gu. Today, I was still annoyed that the poison in my hand could not be used, but I didn't want you to send it to my door to give my poison room to play. You can continue to guess where I got all the poison? Where did I put a few Gu worms? If you're not afraid of death, you can try it. ”
Cheng Ziyu took over again.
"You've been standing around here for so long, you should have had enough of this poison. Do you feel a little depressed, a little flustered, and your heart beats a little uncontrollably faster? ”
The complexion of a group of people changed and changed, and Cheng Ziyu knew that many people should believe it again.
Yes, she's talking nonsense again. They are holding torches, the fire is burning in their ears, they will naturally feel depressed, they are flickered by her, and then think of the miasma and the accomplices they have not seen for a long time, and then there are the leaders who have been "poisoned", they will naturally panic and beat faster......
"You talk nonsense......"
"If we're poisoned, you're poisoned......"
"It's ......"
Several people panicked and probed.
Several people in the carriage deliberately laughed at the same time.
Even Xia Wei on the roof of the carriage laughed.
"We have already taken the antidote, otherwise how would we get out of it? Fools, if we hadn't relied on something, we would have found Ningbo Yamen to escort us back, and would we have given you a chance? ……”
The crowd was dumbfounded.
yes, how else?
Brother Gang was really panicked.
This task, which he thought was nine out of ten, was envied by many of his brothers in the future, and it seems that he has moved stones at this moment.
This task, lest it attract the attention of the Xu family, was originally done by Wan Mingyang's subordinates.
At this moment, Brother Gang couldn't help but wonder if Wan Mingyang, who left in a hurry at that time, deliberately did not want to wade into this troubled water, so he withdrew, and as a result, there would be this "good thing" that fell on his head......
But if he said that he was planted in the hands of a girl because of negligence, he would not be willing and would not be blind.
If you don't take the antidote, you will die quickly, and if you get the antidote, you won't die at least temporarily.
Regardless of whether it is really highly poisonous, whether it kills in an hour or not, whether the other party really has an antidote or not, he can't afford to gamble!
There are so many brothers, it is his responsibility, no matter what, the top priority is to get the antidote quickly. Fortunately, he was surrounded by his brothers who had been with him for many years, and they were all his own people.
"Hand over the antidote!" Brother Gang tried to suppress the anger. "Hand over both of the two antidotes!"
"Don't be angry, you can go fast when you get angry, and when you use force, it will speed up the poison, so you'd better be slow."
"I'll give you ten, if you don't give the medicine, my brothers will exhaust their last breath even if they die, and they will dismantle you first. And, in the most unbearable way! You well-known women from good families, I hope you can afford it! Ten, nine, eight......"
That brother was in a hurry, where would he grind with Cheng Ziyu here, he didn't wait for Cheng Ziyu to respond and began to count.
"Give!" When he counted to four, Cheng Ziyu hurriedly responded. "I can give you medicine, but there are conditions. I just want a chance to run for my life, nothing else. I can give you the medicine, but you also have to let me run first! ”
"I let you run, how can you get the medicine?"
"I know you're in a hurry, and I don't embarrass you. In this way, my maid is still standing on the roof of the car, and you let me run first, and if I am sure that you are not coming, my maid will throw the antidote down, how about it? ”
"What if you run out of the country and still don't give the antidote?"
"Then you will shoot my servant!"
"The county lord is a fool for me? Even if there is an artifact at a distance of 100 zhang, you can't shoot it, right? "Besides, they have only brought a few light bows with them today.
"Oh, so what's the farthest range you have?"
"Twenty feet at most." Naturally, he said that the more conservative the better.
But Cheng Ziyu is naturally not without common sense.
"In that case, I will allow you to take a few men with you and follow me forty feet behind. When I have traveled a hundred zhang, and you have not driven beyond the range of forty zhang, and there is no rest of the vain acts, I will give you an antidote. Reasonable, right? How is it? ”
"How do I know if the antidote is real or not?"
"You will only be forty feet away from me at that time, what are you afraid of? My carriage is slow, it shouldn't be difficult for you to catch up with me, right? There's no point in me lying to you, is it? Besides, you've already been poisoned, so am I going to poison you again? Brother Gang, I advise you to hurry up! ”
Cheng Ziyu grabbed the crack in the car door, watching Brother Gang's knife have changed from being held in his hand to being inserted into the ground. Obviously, that mess of all kinds of narcotics and poisons is still somewhat useful. At least enough to bluff people.
"One last question." Brother Gang obviously had no other choice. "Since it's not difficult for me to catch up with you, what's the point of you running forty zhang or 100 zhang first? You can't run at all!
Just procrastination? If that's the case, I advise you not to bother, Li Chun didn't arrive so soon. So don't struggle, just take out the antidote, then, I can promise that Mrs. Liulin and your maid will die, how about it? ”
Cheng Ziyu's heart sank when she heard this.
Was Li Chun really intercepted? Fortunately, they still want Li Chun to come out and continue this scene, so they shouldn't hurt Li Chun. But Li Chun can't do it, even if the dozen or so people after the break can retreat with their whole body, I'm afraid that his group of people is not an opponent.
And...... The other party should soon realize that the poison is bluffing!
"Procrastination? Brother Gang, you look down on me too much. To tell you the truth, there is a reason why I dare to let you follow me to a distance of forty zhang! If you want to really detoxify, you have to calm down after taking the medicine. If you fight and kill, the poison will run much faster than the antidote, and you will still be dead.
Your brothers are the same, if you don't drink water to get rid of it, and when it reaches the spleen, stomach and kidneys, it will definitely be a great torture, although it will not cause death. I won't say more, you should have heard of the poison of the miasma, how miserable it is......"
Mrs. Lin and Liu Er both looked at Cheng Ziyu with admiration.
This nonsense is really unusual.
Especially Mrs. Lin, she couldn't help but wonder how Old Man Cheng trained his granddaughters? Has the old man always been so slippery? How did she not know before?
She couldn't help but lean into Cheng Ziyu's ear: "You can talk nonsense so seriously, you definitely have the potential to be a profiteer." ”
Cheng Ziyu glared at the two.
"So, Brother Gang, even if you get the antidote, I advise you to take a break quickly, if you can, take a good breath to recuperate, and it is the right thing to get rid of the poison as soon as possible. If I can't escape and be caught by you, then I admit it! Brother Gang, if you don't have any other opinions and methods, it's decided. Xia Wei! ”
Xia Wei held the bottle in her left hand, pinched the small black pill in her right hand, and said leisurely: "Let's go!" ”
Brother Gang didn't object, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Indeed, there was no other way for him.
His right hand was a little paralyzed, and he panicked!
If there was only one hour of detoxification, he couldn't gamble and didn't dare to bet.
He stared at Xia Wei closely, and could only take a few steps to the side.
As soon as he moved, his brothers naturally gave way to a few steps. After getting out of the way, Brother Gang, who was puzzled, hurriedly ordered a few brothers to turn around and investigate the situation of the more than 70 people behind him......
The carriage moved again, and several people on board were rejoicing.
I really didn't expect that there would be a chance to try to continue struggling.
Whether they survived or not, they did their best.
Li Chunruo was really stumped, afraid that he would not be able to count on it for the time being, and he didn't know what the situation of Fengxingliang behind him was. If they cooperate well enough, they should be packed up and rushed here. And Cheng Ziyu is thinking in her heart, naturally she is not just trying to move forward for the sake of delay......
When Brother Gang waited for Cheng Ziyu's carriage to go out for about thirty zhang, he personally ordered a few people to follow behind.
As soon as the carriage moved, Xia Wei simply sat down on the roof of the car in order to maintain her balance.
But she still has a very strong posture, and the other party does not dare to act rashly, so she can only wait for the agreed agreement. Not long after the carriage and the group left, the window opened, and Liu Er threw out another bottle to Xia Wei, loudly saying that there was a pill to cure the miasma, enough for everyone present to take it......
After going out of the car shop for more than ten zhang to confirm that the carriage that the other party couldn't see, Liu Er had already opened the door and sneaked out. After closing the car door, her two legs stepped on the wheels on both sides, and the cat did not show her head, first pushed a bow and arrow behind Xia Wei's feet, and she herself was also ready to wait for the bow and arrow at the car door.
