104. Attempted poisoning
In the evening, Yingzi came to Zhongli City, and the people were sleepy and tired, so they had to rest. Wang Ye, who was following behind, slipped into a large family when passing by a village and town, stole a lot of silver, and his pocket was very rich. Seeing that they had entered the inn and asked for two upper rooms on the second floor, they went to the shop next to them, bought some things for women, and went to a remote place in the city, where they dressed up as a female swordsman, rode a horse, and carried a sword on their backs, to the inn where Yingzi lived. The shopkeeper came out, and he ordered him to prepare an upper room on the second floor, so that he could tie his horse to the stables on the side of the yard, and he went into the shop alone.
The front door of the store is the dining hall, and many people are eating, but there is no Yingzi and two entourage. Wang Ye judged that Yingzi and his party must be tired, so they asked the guys to send the food into the house to eat. He sat down at a low table at the exit of the kitchen of the dining hall, asked for food, and waited. Sure enough, the guy in the store came out of the kitchen exit with a tray with a large pot of soup and a small pot of soup on the tray. That small pot of soup must have been given to Yingzi. Wang Ye got up, rushed over, bumped into the guy, and almost spilled the soup. He hurriedly apologized, and the guy said it didn't matter. While the guy had just stepped onto the stairs on the second floor, he spilled the medicinal noodles in his hand into the small pot of soup.
Wang Ye sat down at the low table again. He knew that Yingzi was a reckless man, and he was thinking about the second egg in his heart, if he wanted to get close to her, get her, and follow along, it would not work. He wants to make a hard bow and create established facts, see how she Yingzi is! If you don't comply, you will kill her. If the beauty does not belong to herself, it will never be done.
In fact, Wang Ye was not a warrior of Zhong Wuguo at all, but a native of Wu State, a subordinate of Gu Shujie. Gu Shujie sent him to pretend to be a prisoner and get close to Chenggu. In order to use Chenggu to break into Qin Wuran's team.
The original plan was: to become good friends with Chenggu and help Chenggu escape. However, the appearance of Tian Miaozi changed the plan. In order to prevent Tian Miaozi from escaping from the mountain, he leaked the secrets of the base. Tian Miaozi must be killed first, so he directed a fake scene in which he escaped with Yingzi. Unexpectedly, Tian Miaozi insisted on the eagle's beak and refused Wang Ye to approach him, making it difficult to kill Tian Miaozi. And Qin contemptuously made another move, which completely failed the plan.
Of course, Wang Ye can report to Director Gao along the trail first, and ask Director Gao to organize the evacuation. However, Wang Ye is naturally lustful. As soon as I saw Yingzi, I was already sore and numb, where did I want to contribute to Wu Guo? If he didn't get Yingzi, he felt that it was a lifelong regret.
After eating, I went into the house to take a bath. Although the room he lived in was three rooms away from Yingzi's room, he had good hearing and could hear the sounds in Yingzi's house. When the guy went upstairs to clean up the dishes, he knocked on the door for a long time. There was no movement in the house. The guy had to open the door and said, "Sleep so early?" "When the guy walked away with the cutlery. And the door was closed tightly. It seems that Yingzi did go to bed early.
Wang Ye also pretended to sleep in bed. He is very good at calculating time, which is a project he has practiced since he was a child: he can not only calculate the time according to the stars and the moon in the sky, but also calculate the time according to the degree of darkness and quietness, the crowing of chickens and dogs, etc.
At the end of the hour he awoke. At this time, there was no other sound outside the four sides. Only the guys in the shop were feeding the horses night grass. He waited a little longer, and when there was no sound in the stable, he prepared to act. Of course, this step should not be taken lightly. He first pretended to get up at night and went out in a woman's clothes. Make the door loud. He pretended to be half-asleep and staggered towards the staircase, passing by Yingzi's room and the room of Yingzi's two entourages on the way. He listened carefully to the sound. He didn't think it was right. It was too quiet in the room of the two attendants. It stands to reason that these are two men, who should be quite tired after a day of running, not to mention snoring like thunder, there should also be a whirring sound. But there was no sound in that room. This is not normal! Perhaps, these two men are staying in Yingzi's room at this time, waiting for someone to come to the door, right? Could it be that Yingzi was not numbed, but sensed what was in the soup, and didn't drink the soup at all?
Wang Ye thinks it's very possible! He went to the bathroom, returned to his room, crouched down by the door, and listened carefully to the movement outside. He's a cautious man, and now that he's found a problem, he's not going to do it again.
Wang Ye suddenly thought of the green ring on Yingzi's fingers. He dared to conclude that since he saw Yingzi, Yingzi had nothing on his fingers! This shows that this green ring was worn by Yingzi. Yes, it must be Tian Miaozi, an old bastard, who gave Yingzi the ring he used for drug testing. Yingzi passed the test and found the poison in the soup, so she didn't drink the soup at all, but called two attendants into her house and waited for the thief to take the bait!
It's a trap! It seems that it is not easy to play Yingzi!
Wang Ye simply went to bed.
Let's find another chance, I must find a way to get Yingzi.
Wang Ye guessed right. Yingzi did already know that the soup was poisoned. This depends on the green ring given by Tian Miaozi. When Yingzi went up the mountain to find Tian Miaozi, Tian Miaozi was sleeping heavily, obviously tossing for a night, feeling peaceful during the day, and his spirit began to relax. Yingzi was afraid of waking him up, and saw that the basket he snatched next to him was covered with a small quilt, which was obviously used to keep food warm. Yingzi tiptoed and covered Tian Miaozi with a small quilt. She was ready to go. Unexpectedly, Tian Miaozi woke up suddenly.
"Yingzi?" Tian Miaozi said that he was very moved when he saw the small quilt on his body. "Yingzi, I'm awake anyway, just sit down for a while!"
Yingzi sat down.
Tian Miaozi said: "These days, I always find time to sleep during the day. During the day, the besieged men did not dare to come up. But at night, it doesn't work. On several occasions, when they came up at night, I knocked them down. ”
Yingzi smiled: "Senior Tian, you can really toss and get so much food." ”
Tian Miaozi sighed: "It's a fluke!" It's a pity that we're stuck here, but my old friend is still in their hands. I'm going to do everything I can to get him out. ”
Yingzi said, "I want to too. ”
Tian Miaozi nodded and asked, "Yingzi, you are a girl, aren't you afraid to come out like this?" ”
"Don't be afraid! Qin Wuran and Erdan, they are all big heroes in the world. With them, I'm not afraid of anything! As long as they can run out, they can find them, and they will definitely come to save Grandpa Chenggu. ”
Tian Miaozi pondered for a moment, and suddenly twisted the green ring on his finger and twisted it off.
He handed the green ring to Yingzi: "Yingzi, this is what I built, it is inlaid with ivory and other rare things, which can detect poison, and I will give it to you." ”
"Huh?" Yingzi was shocked, withdrew his hand, and did not dare to answer. "Senior Tian, I know that this is your talisman and cannot leave you. I don't want it, I can't ask for it. ”
Tian Miaozi grabbed her hand and stuffed it into her palm: "Take it!" You see," Tian Miaozi took out a small green ring with silk threads tied to his neck and hung it around his neck. "I have another one, the same as the Green Ring, which can test all kinds of poisons. You're a little girl, it's not easy to mix outside. With this self-defense, many dangers can be avoided. Quick, take it! When you came, you brought me food, and I was actually dizzy from hunger at that time, and you helped me a lot, and I should thank you. ”
Yingzi's eyes were full of tears, so she had to accept it.
Tian Miaozi said: "You can't tell anyone the secret of this ring. Once it is known, it will be regarded as a treasure, and it will be robbed by others, which may lead to death, understand? ”
Yingzi said, "Understood. ”
Yingzi likes this green ring very much, and has been playing with it since she left Tian Miaozi. When I entered the store just now, I was lying on the bed and playing. Unexpectedly, then Yingzi's life was saved! After the guy brought the food, she wanted to gobble it up. But I remembered Tian Miaozi's advice, so I tried them one by one with the green ring. The food was fine, but the soup was soaked in the ring, but the ring changed color. Smell the soup carefully, there is a slight peculiar smell. Yingzi poured the soup out of the window, and then called in two attendants and asked them to lay on the floor. Three people take turns on night duty.
When an entourage was on duty, it happened that Wang Ye passed by the door. The attendant looked through the crack in the door and saw that it was a woman, probably sleeping in a daze, and she wanted to go to the toilet, staggering. But the retinue was still prepared for battle. But after the woman went to the toilet, she returned to the room and there was no movement.
When he got up the next morning, he found that he had nothing to do all night, and Yingzi was very puzzled. She went downstairs and carefully observed the guys in the inn, and saw that they were all ordinary people, not like the guys wanted to kill for money. She asked the guy who delivered the meal yesterday if anyone was passing by when the meal was delivered. The man thought for a moment, remembered it, and said that he had delivered food last night, and as soon as he stepped on the staircase, the female swordsman on the second floor got up from the low table, passed by him, and almost spilled the soup.
Yingzi suddenly realized. The poison was the woman who woke up last night! She must have been aware of Yingzi's ambush, so she didn't dare to enter the house rashly.
The guy smiled: "The female swordsman on the second floor left early in the morning. ”
"In which direction did she go?"
"I could see very clearly that she was riding her horse in the direction of the city. There, Lord Wu Zixu and Wu are building a city, and it is the most lively place. ”
Yingzi went upstairs and stumbled. She's stupid, she's stupid! This woman is the one who poisoned her. Before he arrived in Wu Kingdom, he encountered such a dangerous person, but he didn't catch it. After that, I'm afraid she will cause even more trouble for herself.
She took two retinues and rode in pursuit, but where was the woman's figure?
She didn't pay attention, Wang Ye was just watching them in the woods next to the road. Wang Ye had already changed his clothes and was dressed up as an ordinary young man. After they ran away, Wang Ye rode his horse to follow. In front of him is the boundary of the Wu Kingdom, and it is the world of his king. He had to find a way to restrain this wild woman and make her his plaything completely. (To be continued......)
