Shi Zhong and Qing Ling were trapped in the basement, and after a few hours, his body finally regained some sense, but his whole body was tied into a dumpling, and he still couldn't move.

Qing Ling was stunned, his hands and feet were also tied, and he lay beside him breathing weakly and did not respond. The division center was anxious but there was nothing to do, if he usually could have broken free from the rope, but he didn't know what kind of poison he had been hit, and his chest was suffocated before he was lucky, and if he came hard, he would definitely hurt his muscles and bones.

Just now, he heard the conversation between Wei Lu and Liu Ye clearly, and when he learned that Chang Hui was also there, he tentatively wanted to make a sound, but unfortunately his mouth was sealed, and he could only watch them leave. Shizhong naturally understood why Wei Lu made a two-day appointment, and with his connections in Wusun, it was not difficult to inquire about Liu Ye's identity.

Wei Lu is a Huns, and his family is very powerful in the Huns, if he knows Liu Ye's identity, I am afraid the consequences are unimaginable. In case Wei Lu had dealings with the Xiongnu royal family, Liu Ye, who was a Han and a princess, would definitely not be able to escape their clutches.

Liu Ye and the others had just left, and Wei Lu also went out, and the division center was chaotic and restless, blaming him for not being cautious enough, which put Liu Ye in danger. However, didn't the medicine gourd notice that they were missing? It stands to reason that he should protect them in secret, even if he doesn't care about him as a court official, he should worry about his granddaughter!

Shizhong's hopes now are all on the medicine gourd, and the whereabouts of him and Qing Ling are only clear to the medicine gourd, and this old man's skills are not weak, so it should be more than enough to deal with Wei Lu. But he usually cares about everything, and it is reasonable that he does not notice the abnormality. If he noticed it but didn't come to the rescue, Shizhong would be a little puzzled.

When she was thinking wildly, Qing Ling muttered, barely opened her eyes, only to feel that it was pitch black in front of her, and she struggled to get up, only then did she realize that her body was tied, and her hands and feet were sore, numb and painful.

Hearing the movement, Shi Zhong hurriedly leaned over and helped her up with his shoulder. Qing Ling smelled the fragrance on his body, and his heart was happy, no matter what the current situation was, it was much more reliable to have a companion in his heart.

"Master Shi......" Qing Ling called out clearly, but he couldn't make a sound when he heard him, so he asked again, "What's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Shizhong took advantage of the faint light projected from the gap above his head to raise his chin to let Qing Ling see his situation clearly, and Qing Ling immediately understood, moved behind him, and used his teeth to untie the strip of cloth on his mouth.

The two of them were very close, Qing Ling had never been so close to a man, although the situation was dangerous at this time, she still couldn't help but feel her heart beat faster, she didn't need to look at it to know that her face was red, fortunately she couldn't see her like this in the division, otherwise she really didn't know where to hide.

Qing Ling quickly untied the dead knot in the back of his head for him, and then lay down to untie the rope in his hand, Shi Zhong took a breath and said quite embarrassedly: "Qing Ling, I have wronged you." ”

"Master Shi, it's obvious that I hurt you, and you want to comfort me in turn......" Qingling was in a low mood, recalling the scene of meeting Wei Lu, he couldn't help but blame himself, "It's all my fault, I'm too useless, I shouldn't have come to drag you back, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't ......"

Shi Zhongguaner: "Forget it, don't mention the past, let's find a way to escape!" ”

"Uh-huh......" Qing Ling continued to untie the rope for him with tears in his eyes, the rope was tied very tightly, and it really took a lot of effort to untie it, "Master, you try it, it should be fine......"

Shi Zhong exerted a little force, felt that the rope in his hand had been loosened, turned his wrist, pulled out his hands, untied the rope on his feet by himself, and untied Qingling.

The two stretched their numb limbs, looked at each other, and smiled wryly. Qing Ling shook his arm, looked up, and said, "What is this place?" Do you want to go out? ”

"This is Were's room, and he's locked us in the basement."

"Ah, it turns out that this is ......" Qing Ling hurriedly covered his mouth, for fear of being heard by Wei Lu, and shook his head, indicating that he didn't mean it.

Shi Zhong tore off the beard at the corner of his mouth and said, "It's okay, he went out just now, if we want to get out, there is only this one exit." ”

The middle finger of the teacher pointed to the top of his head, Qing Ling hurriedly jumped up, stood on tiptoe to reach the floor, and pushed it up a few times, but the floor did not move at all.

"Oops, this basement might have a mechanism, damn it, if I had more strength, I might be able to push it open......"

"I'll try!" Shizhong adjusted his breathing and slowly exhaled to run his internal strength, but he didn't know that the qi had not yet sunk to the dantian, and a mouthful of thick blood was spit out.

Qing Ling was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly helped Shizhong to sit down: "Master, don't force yourself, you are poisoned, if you come hard, I am afraid that you will lose all your skills." ”

Shi Zhong's face was pale, he didn't worry about his body, he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible and take Liu Ye away, and he couldn't let Wei Lu find out her identity.

"No, I can't give up, I'll try again......" Shizhong stubbornly forced his luck, ignoring Qing Ling's dissuasion.

Qingling was so anxious that tears were about to fall, seeing that he didn't listen to persuasion, he hugged him in a hurry, and pleaded: "Stop, you will only hurt yourself like this, I hurt you in a trap, I can't let you hurt yourself anymore, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, don't you Han people say this, Master, I beg you, wait a little longer, okay, grandfather, he will come to save our ......"

Shizhong sighed, what Qing Ling said is not unreasonable, this situation does not want to endure but also have to endure, you can't be temporary. He patted Qingling's trembling shoulder and comforted: "Okay, I'll listen to you, wait a little longer......"

Qing Ling nodded again and again, and helped him sit down: "Grandfather knows that we have come to look for Wei Lu, and we haven't gone back for so long, he will definitely come to see it, I believe he will come!" ”

"Hmm......" Shizhong wasn't sure if the medicine gourd would come, but it was not good to say something that would disappoint Qing Ling, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Do you and your father both know that the medicine gourd does things for the big man?" ”

Qing Ling was a smart girl, and she understood the meaning of Shizhong's words: "Although my father and I are Persians, we, like my grandfather, are now serving the lieutenant's palace of the Han Dynasty. When there was a famine in my hometown and my relatives passed away one after another, my father took me all the way to Akita Castle to beg for food, and it was my grandfather who took us in. He fed and clothed us, and taught us to read and do business, no different from our relatives, so my father and I were willing to be loyal to the Han, and we would do whatever our grandfather wanted us to do. ”

Shizhong smiled embarrassedly: "I know, but I don't know how many people from the Lieutenant's Mansion are here, so far, I have only seen your ancestors and grandchildren." ”

"Actually, it's not just the three of us, the people in the lieutenant's mansion are very mysterious, they rarely interact with each other, they are distributed in all corners of the city, and if they find out favorable information, they will tell grandfather, if something big happens, grandfather will summon it, and they will come."

"Oh? Medicine gourd summoned them? When did this happen? ”

"Well, I'm just saying if Grandfather hasn't gathered them yet, but if one day comes, I think they'll show up. This is what my grandfather told me, and he doesn't lie. ”

Shi Zhong nodded, since Yao Hulu is the convener of the secret agent of the Lieutenant's Mansion, he is definitely not a simple character, he must know no less about Wei Lu than Qing Ling, he pretends to be confused, in fact, he knows it in his heart!

Thinking of this, Shizhong gradually relaxed, what he needed now was patience. If the medicine gourd doesn't come to save them, there must be a reason for him, the more critical the moment, the more he should trust his companions.

Qing Ling saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, thinking that he was still worried about whether he could get out of here, so he changed the topic and said, "Master, do you remember the jade cup that your grandfather showed you, which is a jade cup related to poisonous scorpions." ”

Shi Zhong hurriedly said: "Of course, that day I only cared about asking about the poisonous scorpion, and forgot to ask about the origin of the cup. ”

"Hehe, then let me tell you, do you want to hear it?" Qing Ling snuggled up to him, his heart warm, completely forgetting the danger and fear.

"Okay, you can say it!" Shizhong is still quite interested in poisonous scorpions.

There are many differences between women and men, among which is the resilience to danger and the ability to maintain an optimistic attitude even when they encounter danger, as long as they have a man they like to rely on.

Qingling has a good impression of the teacher, maybe it is the natural reaction of the girl to meet a handsome man at the beginning of her love, maybe she admires the teacher who is already in an important position at a young age, no matter what, she has already moved for the center of the teacher.

"This jade cup, don't look at it dirty, no one cares about it on the table, it's my grandfather's treasure! This cup is not my grandfather's, it is a poisonous scorpion carried with him, and you can test whether it is poisonous or not by drinking with it, which is amazing! ”

Shi Zhong felt incredible: "The poisonous scorpion has come to find the medicine gourd? They also drank together? However, the poisonous scorpion itself is a poisonous person, could it be that he is also afraid that someone will poison him? ”

Qing Ling smiled slightly: "Master Shi is right, the poisonous scorpion has asked my grandfather to drink, he is not afraid of someone poisoning, but he is afraid that my grandfather will be poisoned!" You don't know, even if he drank from this cup, he was poisoned by my grandfather, and he left the cup when he fled in a hurry, so my grandfather didn't let anyone touch it, saying that he would wait for him to come back and try again, if the poisonous scorpion didn't die! ”

"So, the ability of the medicine gourd to make poison is higher than that poisonous scorpion, alas......" Shizhong had to sigh, looking at a master of poison in front of him, but he couldn't solve Liu Yezhong's poison, and he had to go to great lengths to find the poisonous scorpion.

Qing Ling also thought of this, and said embarrassedly: "Yes, my grandfather is very powerful, but there are some poisons that he doesn't touch, and if he doesn't touch them, he won't touch them, and it's useless for others to force him......"

"Now it seems that the poisonous scorpion is not dead yet, and their competition is not over yet! I don't know when the scorpion will come to him, but I can't wait. ”

"Master, don't worry, we will definitely find the poisonous scorpion......"

Before the words fell, Shi Zhong and Qing Ling heard footsteps above their heads at the same time, and they raised their heads and looked towards the gap.
