Chapter 495: Suspicious
As soon as the wine gas spread, the spiritual power in Ding Qin's body "exhaled" and reacted. There is a more intense struggle between the body and the toxin, indicating that there is a more violent toxin invasion.
If you don't guess wrong, it's a binary toxin. Two mild toxins, when mixed together, form highly toxic in the human body. Since they can be poisoned in different ways at different times and places, they will be more hidden.
Sure enough, shortly thereafter, the people in the store, including the shopkeeper and Xiao Er, suddenly fell down one by one, and their whole bodies convulsed.
Ding Qin peeked at the three people, but there were no symptoms. In this way, there is no doubt that the three of them will be poisoned.
Ding Qin can take direct action at this time. But first, the feeling brought by the anti-poison effect in the body was not pleasant, and secondly, he also wanted to see if the three of them had other tricks, so he followed the example of the others, and fell on the table, his body twitching one by one.
The three men were also cautious. After Ding Qin fell, they first observed for a while, and then one of them said, "Where is Tong Yan?"
Another person responded, "Didn't he just say that he had diarrhea? I guess he won't be able to come back for a while, right?"
"Take him away now?"
"Take it away! Before Tong Yan returns, we will leave. As long as the speed is fast enough and the traces are properly handled, Tong Yan will not find us so easily!"
As soon as the words fell, Ding Qin felt that he had been set up, and then flew out lightly. When these three people leaped forward rapidly, they emitted a faint spiritual pressure, and their cultivation was obviously above the third order of spiritual power.
Through the slit of his eyes, Ding Qin could roughly determine their position. Out of the inn, the three of them walked on the east side of the town, and then at a fork in the road, one of them walked to the other side, and the remaining two people walked forward with Ding Qin.
In this way, it is childish tracking, and it will also involve the issue of trade-offs. In this way, it can be seen that these three people also put some thought into it.
Further on, there is a hill. The two did not stop, and took Ding Qin halfway up the mountain and put him in an open space. One of them said, "Big brother, this position is always okay, right?"
The so-called eldest brother nodded, "Well, there should be no problem." It's far enough from town, but it's relatively easy to find. When Tong Yan found that Ding Qin had disappeared, he would inevitably look for someone first, and if he couldn't find it for a while, he would mobilize the nearby defenders. As soon as the defenders are dispatched, sooner or later they will find this mountain. ”
The third brother responded, "Then, let's do it?"
The eldest brother said, "Wait." Let's give him the antidote first. After taking the medicine, we will kill it with one hit, and the antidote will gradually remove the toxicity of the double yellow chain poison in the body. When they found him, they couldn't be sure if he was poisoned, but they would suspect that it was a master attack, and they didn't give him a chance to fight back. ”
The third brother's tone paused with admiration, "It's still the eldest brother who is smart!"
What they said unintentionally made Ding Qin puzzled.
These people are not trying to bring themselves back to the Nine Turns, but to kill themselves!
But if you want to kill someone, you still want people to find the body, and disguise yourself as a master. All of these situations don't make logical sense.
Unless, they're not the ones from the Nine Turns?
However, Tong Yan's judgment should not be wrong.
In the midst of doubt, the third brother had already approached Ding Qin, pinched Ding Qin's mouth open with one hand, and held a pill in the other hand to put it in his mouth.
The toxins in Ding Qin's body have now been consumed, and there is no need to take this antidote for a long time. In order to prevent the antidote from attacking poison with poison and bringing discomfort to the body again, Ding Qin decided to take action now.
He didn't know what these two people were cultivating. If it is really a person from the Nine Turns, if he knows that he has cultivated at the third and fourth levels, at least one of the three people must have cultivated higher than himself, or on an equal footing with himself. Therefore, in order to minimize his threat, he decided to control this third brother first.
When the pill was about to be sent into his mouth, Ding Qin suddenly opened his eyes.
The sudden movement startled the third brother. Before he could react, Ding Qin's spiritual power poured into his hand.
Under the strong breakthrough, the third brother was defenseless. The spiritual power directly invaded the dantian, and when it was stirred, all the entrances and exits of the operation were closed. After that, as Ding Qin's spiritual power rampaged through his meridians, the third brother rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, leaned to the ground, convulsed, and completely lost consciousness.
The boss was just observing the situation on the road, when he heard a strange noise behind him, he turned around in time, but saw that Ding Qin had already stood up.
His face was as if he had seen a ghost, and he pointed at Ding Qin with one hand, "You, you, you...... How do you ......"
Ding Qin didn't want to talk nonsense with him now. With a snort, he released his spiritual power, and the three belts and four belts behind him slowly fluttered. "Now it's me who should ask why. And you only have the option of answering the question. ”
Before he could finish speaking, he leaped forward like a shadow, and the silver moon came out of its sheath on the way, and the chill was overwhelming.
The boss looked horrified. His movements were a little flustered, and his first reaction was to run away.
After taking a step, his spiritual power was released, and there was only a third order and one layer. It's no wonder that he didn't even have the courage to confront Ding Qin head-on.
But the more this happened, the less he had a chance to escape. It was just two ups and downs, and Ding Qin had already chased after him, touching the back of his neck with one hand, and a stream of spiritual power poured in.
Just like their third child, the boss also stumbled to the ground, convulsing nonstop.
Before asking the truth, Ding Qin didn't want to kill them. From the performance of the boss just now, Ding Qin also knew that this was not the plan of the three of them.
Looking at the direction of the town, Ding Qin estimated that Tong Yan should have chased him out at this time. He wasn't sure how far Tong Yan could discern the tracks, so in order to prevent further deviations on the route, he slowly returned along the path he had come from, holding a man in his hand.
However, before he reached the fork in the road, he saw that Tong Yan had already caught up. He found Ding Qin relieved when he returned, "Fortunately, fortunately. I was at the fork in the road just now and found that they were divided into two directions, and it was obvious that they had been well planned in advance. ”
Ding Qin nodded. "The people at the inn, all dead?"
Tong Yan sighed, "It's all dead." I just took a brief look at it, and it was supposed to be a duality poison. Because I was anxious about your safety, I chased you out without careful inspection. ”
Just a few simple words, Ding Qin's admiration for Tong Yan's reconnaissance and judgment ability came spontaneously. In a very short period of time, recognizing the binary poison and accurately determining the enemy's direction of travel at the fork in the road, Ding Qin sighed to himself.
"I don't think they're the ones who turn the Nine. Before Ding Qin could speak, Tong Yan had already made a judgment. "The Nine Turnstile would not act in such a high-profile manner and blatantly endanger innocent people. They avoided the contradictions with the authorities, how could they kill all the people in the inn at once. ”
"In addition," he began to grope for the two people in Ding Qin's hand, and finally found two wooden cards. The wooden plaque has a unique pattern engraved with the name and number. "You see, this is the internal seniority card of the Nine Turnstiles. Normally, people with the Nine Turnstiles don't take this item with them when they go out on a mission. ”
"Because they all have special tasks. Once they miss, they don't want to leave any traceable evidence. Tong Yan pinched the wooden sign, "Unless, they deliberately want to stay." That would be equivalent to them openly calling out the official. ”
Ding Qin threw the two people to the ground, "Then, how did the general affairs judge that the two were from the Nine Turns?"
Tong Yan said, "From their correspondence contact methods. Nine turnstile and Ruyifang have their own strict organizational systems, and they also have quite mature contact methods. We haven't been able to completely decipher the gestures and movement codes between them, but there are some iconic behaviors that can help us find them. ”
Of course, this is just a reference. People like me, who have had a lot of contact with them, often make a preliminary judgment about who might be from these two sects at a glance. And now, the people who are tracking and monitoring you are theoretically either the Nine Turnstile or the Ruyi Fang, as long as they are eliminated, it will be easier to clarify their identity. Tong Yan said as he searched for something valuable on the two of them, but he didn't find anything special.
Ding Qin said, "So, we have a preconceived idea that they are the people of the Nine Turnstile or Ruyi Fang. Exactly, they want us to think so. ”
Tong Yan looked at Ding Qin, "What else do you know?"
Ding Qin briefly expressed the conversation between the two just now, as well as his doubts. Later, he said, "All of these circumstances come together and point to one possibility. Someone wanted to kill me, and then pointed the incident to the Nine Turnstiles, and in doing so, caused a conflict between the authorities and the Nine Turnstiles. ”
After a slight pause, he added, "General Affairs Tong, let me say a conjecture very unceremoniously. There are only two possibilities for a person or institution that knows so much about the Nine Turnstiles. One is Ruyifang, and the other is official. ”
"If it is Ruyifang, then they are ready to take advantage of this incident to provoke the official battle with the Nine Turnstile and reap the benefits of the fisherman. However, if the matter is revealed, they will become enemies of both sides. Such a strategy is not advisable. ”
"And if it's official, then the incident is just an excuse to send troops to the Nine Turns, I'm just a pawn. The Nine Turnstile has a word of suffering, unless the designer of the matter can be found and clarified. However, because the designer is an official person, the official will not believe the reason for the nine turnstiles. Relatively speaking, this possibility is greater. ”
Ding Qin looked at Tong Yan after speaking, "What do you think of the general affairs?"
Tong Yan thought for a while, "What you said makes sense. Basically, we should exclude wishful thinking. However, I have never heard of any official action on the Nine Turnstile recently. In addition, if the officials want to use you as a pawn, they shouldn't let me defend you. At least Jiang Junshou knows what I'm capable of. Unless he wants to take the opportunity to get rid of me with me. However, without me, the military capabilities of the people of Egami would have been reduced by at least one-third. ”
He muttered, "What if we want to complicate it? Could it be that someone wants to kill you and push things off?"
