Chapter 84: Betrayal, Defection
"Mo Xiao, you go and tell the porter, no matter who comes today, I won't see it."
Just when Mo Xiao complained that Gu Lingjin got up early, he soon received Gu Lingjin's order, why didn't anyone see Mo Xiao didn't understand why, but it was still very simple to carry out Gu Lingjin's order.
"Yes, Mo Xiao will go and order."
When Mo Xiao had done everything well, he saw Gu Lingjin vomiting blood.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
Mo Xiao was sure that he definitely didn't use the wrong medicine, why did Gu Lingjin vomit blood?
After taking the pulse, Mo Xiao understood what was going on, it turned out that it was because Gu Lingjin had encountered a crisis again, but this time the crisis was silent, and Mo Xiao did not notice it in time, so Gu Lingjin was poisoned.
"How am I?"
"There won't be a problem for the time being. But I didn't know what poison it was, and I didn't dare to detoxify it without permission. ”
Mo Xiao said with some timidity.
When it comes to your important people, some of the emotions are more complicated.
"What is there to be afraid of?"
Gu Lingjin pulled Mo Xiao to sit next to him, then looked at the worried expression on Mo Xiao's face and smiled. It seems that the person who was poisoned was Mo Xiao and not Gu Lingjin.
"Just treat me like a normal person. Didn't you do well before? Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, I trust you. ”
Mo Xiao looked at the confident Gu Lingjin and wanted to say that he didn't believe in himself.
"Master, I'll be scared."
If you are not careful, Gu Lingjin's toxin may deepen.
"You've been doing well before, why are you scared at this time? Don't be afraid, I'll stand by your side. ”
Gu Lingjin could see that Mo Xiao was really scared, and said.
"You've been poisoned, why are you still on my side. If I'm not careful, you'll have an accident. Mo Xiao looked at Gu Lingjin worriedly and said. You know it or not, it's a very important thing. ”
"But I also know that if I really do something, you won't let those people go. Right. Gu Lingjin looked at Mo Xiao and said. Although Hanyue doesn't have your power now, it's just because the Gu family has restrained you. Without me, this flame sun would never have been able to keep you. When the time comes, your future will be limitless. ”
Gu Lingjin knew Mo Xiao very well, if he was gone, Mo Xiao would definitely not look at the people of the Gu family. She is a person who pays the most attention to feelings, but she is also a cold person.
"Young Master, you're not going to die again, what are you talking about?"
Mo Xiao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and took out a pill from the medicine box.
"That's it?"
Gu Lingjin knew that it was actually best to let Mo Xiao relax. Isn't that a straightforward solution to your problem now? It's already very good.
After Gu Lingjin took the pill, after closing his eyes, he began to feel it. Sure enough, after a while, he vomited out a mouthful of black blood.
"I still need to get some rest. As for the residual poison in the body, just use dietary therapy. ”
Mo Xiao thought of some recipes, but they were all rejected by Gu Lingjin.
"I think we need to solve the matter in Jizhou as soon as possible, and then go back to the capital to recuperate."
Gu Lingjin had already figured it out, everything yesterday was a smoke bomb, and the other party didn't want to let him go back at all. You have to find the evidence and present it to the emperor. The rest of the work has to be done by others, and I need to recuperate.
"Then, the young master will leave these things to Yun Wei, I believe they will not disappoint the young master."
Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm. That's all there is to it. ”
Gu Lingjin felt that he was still sad, sad everywhere, as if he had never rested.
"Young Master, if you are uncomfortable with anything, you have to tell me."
Mo Xiao said with some concern.
Gu Lingjin sensed someone approaching and pulled Mo Xiao into his arms.
"As long as you are by my side, I will not have any pain."
Gu Lingjin's gentle voice made Mo Xiao a little uncomfortable. Although Gu Lingjin is sometimes out of tune, he is not the one who does this at a critical time, and he has not reacted for a while.
"Young Master?"
"Mo'er, don't worry, I'll be fine, we have to go back."
After Gu Lingjin gave Mo Xiao the color, Mo Xiao understood.
"Yes, the young master also promised Mo'er a lot of conditions, but the young master must not forget it."
Mo Xiao said sadly. It's as if something big really happened to Gu Lingjin.
The person standing in the doorway is the illusion and the person who comes with it.
"You see, the young master of your family only has that person on the tip of his heart, she is the same as you, but she is just a girl, why do you have such treatment? As long as you can fulfill my requirements, not only will you be able to live, but you can also find someone you like to marry, and never be this girl again. ”
Phantom looked at the mysterious person who appeared, the mysterious man's words are really very attractive, if he really does this thing, I believe that no one will underestimate him, and he can be free.
"Do you really promise to detoxify me and set me free?"
Phantom confirmed uneasily.
"Look at what you said, I don't like to kill innocents indiscriminately, it's just mutual benefit between us. Moreover, if you don't want to, you can stay with your young master. ”
Illusion listened to the other party's words and felt that it still made sense. As long as Mo Xiao is gone, then the people around Gu Lingjin are not to be afraid, after all, those people are not opponents to him.
"I promise you."
"Good."
The mysterious man gave a piece of medicinal incense to Illusion.
"You just have to light this incense, and you won't have to worry about the rest. It's simple, isn't it? ”
"Okay."
After Illusion prepared the food ordered by Mo Xiao before, he lit the incense given by the mysterious person and sent it into Gu Lingjin's room together.
When Mo Xiao smelled the fragrance, he knew that there was something wrong with the illusion. I just don't know why Phantom did this, but it doesn't hinder Mo Xiao's movements. She closed the door with the first step, then stunned the illusion and extinguished the lit incense.
"It seems that this house is really unsafe. Those people don't dare to blatantly appear by your side to assassinate you, so they use such indiscriminate methods. ”
Mo Xiao sniffed slightly, this medicinal fragrance and Gu Lingjin in the morning are complementary poisons, but it is really a pity, the poison on Gu Lingjin's body has been unraveled by himself, and the method used by the other party only infected Gu Lingjin with another toxin.
And it's also very troublesome. Mo Xiao felt that if it weren't for his early detoxification, the result would not be so simple. It seems that the people in this house need to be replaced. Rather than replace them all, it is better to maintain the status quo and leave this place as soon as possible.
"You've already passed the news to Yun Wei before, how long do you think it will take to get the news I want."
Gu Lingjin was very helpless, he couldn't imagine that the result of the matter would turn out like this. It is necessary to solve the matter in Jizhou as soon as possible, and when he returns to the capital, no one in the courtyard can be bought.
"I can't give you an exact answer to this matter."
Mo Xiao was also very helpless.
"You know, some things are not so easy to investigate, so it takes time to find out."
"I don't know, just my body can withstand a few waves of people."
Gu Lingjin understood Mo Xiao's embarrassment, but now it was time to compete with the other party, and it was up to each other to see who was the most powerful.
"And, one of the most important things, how are we going to get out of this place, and if we do find proof, then how are we going to get out of this place, it's also a question. No one will want us to leave with the evidence. ”
Gu Lingjin closed his eyes and thought, these are all very important questions.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that Mo Xiao's focus was on Illusion.
"What else are you watching her do?"
But what's so nice about being a traitor?
"I'm just curious, what drove her to betray the young master."
How did Gu Lingjin treat his subordinates before, this illusion is not unknown, why is the illusion still willing to take risks? When I took the pulse, I didn't find any toxins on this girl's body.
"It takes many reasons to persuade someone to betray, but to betray someone you need one reason, and that is profit. Since Illusion is willing to betray me, it means that the benefits given by the other party are needed by Illusion. So the question is, what does Phantom want most? ”
Gu Lingjin looked at Mo Xiao and was very curious about this matter, so he spoke.
"What do you value most about Illusion?" Mo Xiao put his eyes on Gu Lingjin as he spoke.
"What are you watching me do?"
Gu Lingjin didn't understand why Mo Xiao put his eyes on his body, he had never been pretentious about illusions, why did he let illusions have such a misunderstanding?
"I can assure you that I have never done anything to misunderstand the other party. This time, I'm bringing her here because you're coming. ”
Whatever the reason, it's better to pick yourself clean first.
"I think it may be because of your attitude, young master, your behavior."
Mo Xiao still said the words.
"I, I'm real,"
"I understand your question, young master, and the next thing is because of me." Mo Xiao interrupted Gu Lingjin's words and nodded to indicate that he already knew. "In Xueyuan, the young master's favorite thing is me. The illusion just came, I didn't know about the play we did before, and she thought that if I disappeared, then she could be on top. ”
"Is this a fool?" Gu Lingjin felt that he might as well deal with those enemies. "Her own actions have already solved me, and she still wants to be in the snow garden? It's already a good thing not to die. ”
"yes. I really don't know how the other party deceived her, and made her think that you won't have anything, and you don't have to worry about anything if you get rid of me, and you will be safe and sound, how does this head grow? ”
Mo Xiao was also very helpless about this. But helplessness can't solve the problem, that is, when the illusion wakes up, I don't know if I can ask any clues.
When Illusion woke up, he saw Mo Xiao and Gu Lingjin, who had already eaten and drunk.
She didn't expect that her own meticulousness would be seen, but so what? The young master is about to become his own, as long as those people come in, the young master will be his own. I will become the third young grandmother of the Gu family.
"Illusion, I have to say, it's really good to have this name of yours." Mo Xiao looked at the change of Illusion's expression, and knew what Illusion's idea was. "Is your ability to think wildly really great? Tell me what you've done. ”
"Mo Xiao, if it weren't for you, the young master would see me one day."
Phantom said angrily.
"Even without me, you wouldn't be looked down upon." Mo Xiao ruthlessly interrupted the other party's fantasy. "Do you think that after you have done these things, the young master will still believe you?"
"What did I do? I didn't do anything. Phantom looked at Gu Lingjin and said. Young master, you must believe me. ”
"If you want me to believe you, how do you explain this?" Gu Lingjin threw the medicinal incense just now to Phantom's side. "This thing is poisonous, why don't you just light it without thinking about it. Aren't you worried that you're going to die ugly yourself? ”
After listening to Gu Lingjin's words, Phantom's face finally changed. She finally understood why the other party not only promised a lot of things in order to make her work well, but also gave herself an antidote in advance, just because the medicinal fragrance is also poisonous, and she will not live.
"No, why lie to me, why! Why! Why! ”
Illusion is crazy like this, but Mo Xiao won't believe that Illusion is really crazy.
"I also want to ask why, don't you want anything? Even if there is no poison in the medicinal incense, but the other party's target is the young master, you still want to say that without me, you can stand by the young master's side, do you mean that you want to accompany the funeral? Then you can rest assured that I will definitely grant you this request. ”
After Mo Xiao knew the other party's intentions, his first reaction was that this person couldn't stay. Anyway, I've already scared the snake, so it's better to let this person play his spare heat.
"What do you do? What are you doing? ”
Phantom looked at Mo Xiao with some fear, at this time she was no longer jealous, she was very afraid. I'm afraid that Mo Xiao will kill him.
Mo Xiao smeared some medicinal powder on the body of the illusion, whether it was the smell or the contact, as long as the other party had contact with the illusion, he would definitely be poisoned, and he would wait for the other party to come to the door at that time.
"You go out now, and then tell the person that the medicinal incense has worked. The young master and I have already fallen, you are afraid. You ask him if the incense is also a poison, and you want an antidote. ”
"And then?"
The one thing Phantom thinks about most now is to keep himself alive, and Phantom doesn't want to think about the rest of the things.
"And then, then what you get may be an antidote, or it may be a poison. It depends on whether the other party really doesn't want your life. ”
Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party and said.
"I see, I'll go right away."
Illusory thoughts, since Mo Xiao said it, then he will definitely not hurt himself. I'm going to find that person now, and I'm going to find that person for an antidote. Soon, Phantom found the mysterious person, knelt in front of the other party, grabbed the other party's clothes and begged the other party to give him an antidote.
"You've finally reacted to me and asked me for an antidote?" The mysterious man looked at the illusion and wondered why such a 'smart' person would do such a stupid thing. "Eat it."
The mysterious man suddenly thought that such a stupid person had really dirty his own hands when he killed him.
When the mysterious man came into contact with the illusion, he felt that there was something wrong with him, but the mysterious man at that time didn't pay attention to anything, but when the mysterious man arrived at the door, he was a little physically exhausted.
The mysterious man even thought of the medicinal fragrance he gave to the illusion.
"Do you feel very uncomfortable, do you think of the medicinal incense you used on others before?" Mo Xiao has been waiting for a long time. "I'd love to talk to you, I'm sure you'll be free, let's go."
Mo Xiao brought people into Gu Lingjin's room, of course, the outer room of the room, and wanted to know who this person was.
"I'm more curious, who are you, why do you have to attack my young master." Mo Xiao looked at the mysterious man and said. "By the way, you don't have to detoxify yourself, otherwise I'm worried that you will add poison to poison and play yourself to death when the time comes."
"Who are you?"
The mysterious man looked at Mo Xiao in surprise, thinking that the information about this Mo Xiao was just a girl by Gu Lingjin's side, and now Gu Lingjin has someone who can be used, and the only loyal guy has been sent out, why is there such a thing?
"Who am I, haven't you already made up your mind? At this time, I have to ask who I am, are you people a little bit lacking in brains? ”
Mo Xiao looked at each other and always felt that this person was really strange. I know what my identity is, so why do I have to confirm it with myself?
"You, you really are, are you really just a girl next to Gu Lingjin?"
"This, it can only be said that you don't know the Gu family's tradition very well, that's all." Mo Xiao smiled, and this topic was over. "Let's get back to business. I want to know, who are you and why you are targeting our young master. ”
"Don't you know who I am?" The mysterious man thinks that this man's head is really not useful. "Gu Lingjin's real purpose for coming to Jizhou, did he think no one knew? No one will let Gu Lingjin go back. His return proves that someone is going to be even more miserable. So this thing is not going to happen. ”
"That's why you've been assassinating our young master, haven't you?"
Mo Xiao really lamented, what kind of luck is this Gu Lingjin, the emperor should have exercised Gu Lingjin, but he gave Gu Lingjin such a task, he was in dire straits all day long, and he would die if he was not careful.
"Young Master, your task is arduous."
"Hmph, my task is actually very simple, it's just that these people don't cooperate, if they really cooperate, I can leave soon. And there is nothing dangerous. However, those people did not cooperate, and I was also very distressed. ”
Mo Xiao was sure that Gu Lingjin definitely wanted to go through the motions, but the other party just didn't cooperate with Gu Lingjin, but kept testing Gu Lingjin, so the result was that the run-in between the two sides did not reach a suitable place, that is, the other party began to doubt each other, to the point where it was out of control now.
In the end, even if the other party accepts it now, Gu Lingjin will not let go of these people.
"Oops, I can already think about what the other person is feeling."
Mo Xiao sighed helplessly.
Gu Lingjin was also very helpless about this, this emperor ostensibly wanted to let him investigate the previous rebellion, but in fact, he wanted to let himself investigate some corruption problems in Jizhou. How is it possible to raise fish in this clear water? Gu Lingjin felt at that time that as long as the problem was not very big, and the other party threw out a small fish and shrimp, he didn't care.
Who knows how many things you haven't investigated yet, you can see the problem, and if you continue like this, it may be even more troublesome. This is really a serious investigation, but it turned out to be the target of the other party's attack, and I feel a little helpless when I think about it.
"Things have become the way they are, and you can't solve the problem even with a sigh. I think you'd better think about what you're going to do next. ”
Mo Xiao looked at the mysterious person in front of him, this person didn't know anything, in fact, he was also a person who could pry open the other party's mouth. As long as you use it properly, this person may be able to help you on your side.
"How about we make a deal? I don't know how the other party moved you, but I can also pay the conditions proposed by the other party, but I don't know if you are willing to agree to my request. ”
The mysterious man looked at Mo Xiao with some incomprehension, and didn't understand why Mo Xiao was willing to accept himself at this time, is this really something that could happen?
"I'm surprised why I say that, I just don't think you're the kind of person who would risk your life for someone else, and if that's the case, I think we can make a deal. Let's say you tell us what we want to know and we'll let you go, how about that? ”
Mo Xiao felt that this idea was really good. But the other party actually looked at him with a puzzled expression, did he feel that he couldn't call the shots?
"Young Master, do you also think my idea is very good?"
"Well, you're right. I also think it's a good idea. Gu Lingjin nodded and said. As long as you cooperate, I don't plan to fight with anyone. ”
"Okay."
The mysterious man thought for a while, this Gu Lingjin is still very creditable, which means that he can actually trust the other party.
"So first of all, let's introduce yourself, for example, who are you and whose person are you?"
Mo Xiao felt that if he knew the name of the other party, he would probably be able to know who the other party was. After all, there are not many things that can be used with poison in such a magical way, one ring after another.
"I'm Duanmu."
Duanmu introduced himself, but Duanmu didn't think that the other party would know who he was after he said it. I'm not a very famous person, and I don't force everyone to know my name.
"You're a poison doctor?"
Mo Xiao looked at Duanmu in surprise, it turned out that the famous poison doctor was like this. Mo Xiao thought the other party was an old man.
"You know me?"
Duanmu was the one who was most surprised, he couldn't imagine that someone really knew about it. However, if you think about it, the other party's ability to use medicine is also very powerful, how can you not know who you are?
"That's right, you're also very good at medicine, and it's a normal thing to know me. Still, I'm curious, who are you? ”
Mo Xiao looked at Duanmu, and then began to ask about his identity, he was really in a hurry.
"If you become a doctor after a long illness, you will naturally understand."
"Since you don't want to say it, then don't talk nonsense to prevaricate me."
Although Duanmu's medical skills are not the best, he can still see whether Mo Xiao has ever been sick.
"How can I prevaricate you, I just want my body to be better." Mo Xiao said cheekily. "It's impossible for a person like you to know what the struggle in this inner house is like."
After Duanmu listened to Mo Xiao's words, he was silent.
Indeed, he didn't know what this inner house struggle was like, and he had heard that it was very powerful. It seems that I really can't underestimate any place.
"What do you want from me?"
Duanmu looked at the other party, wanting to know how the other party was willing to let him go.
"Who sent you here, you can always say that."
Mo Xiao thought that after the most fundamental problem was solved, external things could be solved. Yuan Ling has been out for so long, and he will definitely be able to get some clues. When the time comes, the two sides will be able to merge all the news.
"Actually, I don't know who gave the order. Maybe it's the owner of the Golden Grotto. Duanmu said with some embarrassment. I was just hired by the other party, and the reward was the poisonous weed I always wanted, so I did it. ”
"I see."
Mo Xiao looked at Gu Lingjin and couldn't imagine that his previous guess still had a certain degree of accuracy.
"So, don't you know anything else?"
Mo Xiao didn't believe that the other party didn't know anything, if he really didn't know anything, how could he dare to take over the 'task' of selling the Golden Cave? Therefore, what is going on depends on whether the other party is honest or not.
"I don't know very well, but I've heard others say that it may be the Ban family's people operating from behind."
After Duanmu finished speaking, Mo Xiao felt that this matter was a little strange, and some were not strange. If it weren't for this, it would have been impossible to see Ban Shen before.
