Chapter Seventy-Eight: One Month
When he was a child, he was a village in the famous sword villa.
At this time of day, everyone has already fallen asleep peacefully, but at this time, there are two small courtyards in the inner village that are brightly lit, exuding two completely different emotions: one happy and one sad.
It's Lu Ming's people who are happy. The news that Lei Zhenting was going to accept Xiao Ran as an apprentice made everyone ecstatic (except for poor Meng Daxia), and the matter that he didn't know how to open his mouth was solved so easily, and everyone couldn't help but sigh at Xiao Ran's good luck. In addition, what made everyone even happier was that Gao Yu also had a little bit of an eyebrow about another task in the second stage, and on the way back, he chatted with the steward Wang who sent them with the strength of wine, but he didn't think that he had made a major discovery. However, he has not yet been able to determine the reliability of the information, so further investigation is needed, but overall they have made a big gain tonight, and they are one step closer to completing the mission.
If Lu Ming's side is full of good things, then Lei Zhenting can only be described as gloomy and bleak. In the room that originally belonged to Lei Tianhe, the owner of the three villages, Lei Tianhe closed his eyes tightly and lay on the bed with a blue face, and the doctor Wu in front of him was treating him with a solemn face, while Lei Tianyi and Lei Tianxin stood beside the bed and looked at their third brother anxiously.
"Tianyi, what the hell is going on!"
The only one sitting in the room was Lei Zhenting, and his face was naturally very ugly when he saw his son, who was still in high spirits when he left, become what he is now. If you observe carefully at this time, you can find that one of the old man's hands is already shaking slightly in disobedience, and I don't know whether it is urgent or angry.
"Dad, it's all the fault of the child, I didn't protect the third brother, the child should die!" Facing his father's questioning, Lei Tianyi also felt shameless to face, and fell to his knees with a pop.
"Bastard, since you have entered the rivers and lakes, you will inevitably be killed, destroyed and injured, why does he want you to protect him as a normal person. I ask you, what's going on with the third child! ”
"I... I don't know.. ”
Lei Tianyi's answer made Lei Zhenting angry, he just wanted to scold, and remembered that his third son was being treated by Dr. Wu, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "You are really a good big brother, your third brother has become like this now, but you say you don't know." Are you trying to off the old man!? ”
"Don't blame the father, it's the child who deserves to die, and the child didn't make it clear. The reason why the child said he didn't know was because the third brother's affairs were too strange. ”
"What a strange method, you tell me in detail, don't miss any doubts."
"Here's the thing. The place where the child and the third brother were ordered to reinforce this time was Tianqing Pass, and the local defenders were the Tiger Cavalry Battalion of the Great Wei State, while the enemy was mostly the soldiers of the Puqiu State and the masters of the Northern Alliance. In the six months that we have been there, the two sides have been fighting each other almost every day, but most of them are small fights, and there has been no major collision. During this period, my third brother and I also fought several times with the masters of the Northern Alliance, although the opponent was numerous, but there was no super-first-class master, so not only did we not suffer, but took the opportunity to kill many of them.
Until half a month ago, Puqiu Kingdom didn't know how to buy off a group of patrol soldiers in the city, and opened the city gate in the middle of the night, and at the same time united with the top of the Northern Saibei League who had been lurking in the city for a long time, wanting to break through the Azure Pass in one go. Fortunately, the other officers and soldiers defending the city discovered the abnormality in time and sounded the enemy attack alarm as soon as possible. Then the most tragic battle began, and my third brother and the people of the Tiger Cavalry Battalion fought until dawn, and then drove these people out.
We were exhausted and went back to the courtyard to rest. Unexpectedly, when I woke up, the third brother suddenly fell unconscious, and when I found him, he was lying upright on the floor of the room motionless, as if he was unconscious. The doctor who accompanied the army and the famous doctor in the city all made a diagnosis, but no one could say why, so I saw that the situation was not right, so I rushed to the mountain villa overnight to see if Dr. Wu had any good plan. ”
Judging from the boss Lei Tianyi's narration, there is really no clue why this Lei Tianhe became like this, but Lei Zhenting is an old man, and according to his intuition, this matter must be related to the battle that night.
"Who were you fighting that night? Is Tianhe injured? Also, what unusual things can happen along the way? ”
Faced with his father's question, Lei Tianyi thought seriously for a while and replied: "No, the third child is definitely not injured. At that time, the Saibei League sent six masters, but the highest martial arts was only an old man who had just entered the innate of the earth level, and he could not pose any threat to me and my third brother at all. On the contrary, my third brother and I killed one of them separately. ”
"Oh? Then what was unusual when your third brother returned to the room that day? The people around him could hear anything going on in his room. ”
"No, Dad. I lived next door to the third brother, and after we had driven away the people of Puqiu and the Northern League, we went back to rest, and before going to bed, the third brother asked me to get up and have dinner with me as usual. Everything was normal during the break, and I can confirm that no outsiders have come to disturb me. One thing is strange, though. ”
"What's the matter?!"
"When I sent the third brother back to the room, I always felt that someone was secretly watching us, but even if I paid close attention, I couldn't find any clues."
The eldest son's words made Lei Zhenting fall into deep thought, and during the period from the fight that night to the early morning rest, he couldn't find any suspicious information. And with the skills of his two sons, he wants to make the third son like this silently under the nose of the eldest son, unless it is a peerless master of his level. But if it is such a rare character, he has the strength to kill his two sons on the spot, so why bother.
There is also the anomaly that the eldest son said, if someone really secretly stares at the two of them and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to harm them, why is only the third son like this, and what method does this person use?
"Doctor Wu, how is my third brother?"
At this time, Dr. Wu finally completed his treatment and sat heavily on the edge of the bed, at this time he looked a little weak, and even the silver eyebrows were beaded with sweat.
"It's poison, the third son was poisoned!" It took a long time for Dr. Wu to say such a shocking sentence.
"Poisoned? How so? Doctor Wu, what kind of poison is it, do you have a cure? Lei Tianyi asked anxiously.
Dr. Wu shook his head helplessly and replied, "I'm sorry, eldest son. I've never seen this poison before, it's like a plug. The only thing I can do now is to find a way to hang the third son's breath, but if I can't find an antidote within a month, the situation will be unpredictable! ”
