Chapter 91: Poisoning
"Xiao Mu!" Feng Changxue couldn't help but let out a low cry when she saw this scene.
Mu Jianqiu said calmly: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable. ”
Bai Zhengyan turned his eyes to look at the blood that slipped on Mu Jianqiu's blade, and a wry smile pursed at the corner of his lips. This time she was a good person in vain.
"Be careful!" Feng Changxue's long sword suddenly flew out and shot at the assassin who wanted to sneak attack Bai Zhengyan, always guarding Mu Jianqiu's side to protect him, but said to her: "Let's talk about it when we get out of this building!" ”
Bai Zhengyan nodded, it was really not suitable for a battle of wills at this moment.
"Let's go!" Mu Jianqiu first instructed Yang Handao, and the three of them quickly went downstairs, and the fire on the top floor became more and more uncontrollable, gradually spreading down. Feng Changxue was always waiting for Bai Zhengyan, who was unwilling to follow them from afar, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that there was no resentment on her face, but a kind of tolerance that was used to seeing the truth. If what he expected was right, Mu Jianqiu's sword wanted to pick the meridians of her wrist, but fortunately, she was alert and fast, and now she is only bleeding. Seeing that she was in a hurry and didn't have time to bandage, the blood had already stained the white fur and plum blossoms, and was reflected by the sky-high fire behind her, which looked white, gorgeous and dazzling.
Halfway through the killing, the group had already encountered the officers and soldiers who had heard the wind. Yang Han eliminated the few assassins in front of him, took out a token from his sleeve and held it up in front of the leader of the catcher, and said, "Make a way for us!" Catch it and take a look, it is the jade plate of the Marquis Mansion in Beijing, and he hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Make way for these three adults!" ”
"No, it's four!" Feng Changxue changed lightly in the back, "And the one in white at the back." ”
Mu Jianqiu looked back coldly, staring at him for a long time.
Yang Han looked at it in embarrassment, opened his mouth and snorted a few times. Feng Changxue said with a straight look in her eyes: "Those silver needles are poisonous in Fang Cai, and with her position as Fang Cai, there is no need to risk herself at all." If she stands still and annihilates the enemy, and does not know her skills, will we not doubt her? ”
Mu Jianqiu was silent for a moment and ordered, "Let him come over!" ”
Feng Changxue grinned and said quickly to the catcher: "You first send someone to protect these two adults down, and the rest of me will go up with me to arrest the assassin." ”
Without further ado, the three of them have gone their separate ways.
Yang Han and Mu Jianqiu walked out of the Yuanshan Restaurant with the support of the officers and soldiers, rested in the distance, and looked up to see that the fire on the roof of the building had spread down, bright and bright in mid-air like four fire dragons coiling down.
"This building is going to be destroyed!" Yang Han's low sigh was not without pity.
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated." Mu Jianqiu gritted his teeth, turned around and ordered Nanshan City Mansion Yin to send someone to block the vicinity of the Yuanshan Tower, prevent people from approaching or fleeing, close the city gate, and control the people who escaped from the upper floor first and then check them one by one.
Soon, Feng Changxue and Bai Zhengyan also came down from the building, and behind them, a group of people staggered behind the assassins in the costumes of musicians. Feng Changxue was talking to Bai Zhengyan about something, his expression was extremely concerned, Mu Jianqiu sneered, and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Changxue is also a lover. ”
Yang Han opened his mouth and was about to refute that it was a man, but he instantly changed his words and said, "No, there is something wrong with his expression." With that, he hurried to Feng Changxue and Bai Zhengyan's side, and saw that her face was really too pale, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the blood flowing from the wound between her wrists was purple and black.
"Bring in the best doctor in Nanshan City!" Feng Changxue turned his head and eagerly ordered the catcher around him, the little fox was already in his hand and stayed quietly, his clever eyes looked at Bai Zhengyan with bone, as if worried.
Bai Zhengyan took out the porcelain bottle that Gu Xi had left for her to heal the powder poison from her sleeve, unplugged the medicine stopper, and poured the ointment inside on a small wound on her wrist and arm.
"What's going on?" Yang Han asked suspiciously.
"She was stabbed in the hand with a silver needle." Feng Changxue pursed her lips and said, with a bit of solemnity in her faint voice.
"What kind of poison is this? Isn't it amazing? Yang Han couldn't help but care.
"I won't know until the doctor comes for treatment." Feng Changxue didn't want to say more, so she looked back and said to Bai Zhengyan: "Brother Bai Xian, come and sit here." ”
Bai Zhengyan had no other discomfort except for the injury to his arm, and was about to reject his suggestion, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the sincere look of concern in his eyes, and he didn't want to refute it, so he nodded. Turned around and walked to the silk shop on the side and invited a chair to sit down, Feng Changxue asked Yang Han to go back to accompany Mu Jianqiu, but he stayed here to accompany Bai Zhengyan and wait for the arrival of the doctor.
Yang Han turned around and said, "He was poisoned, and it was the silver needles that were sprinkled on us. ”
Mu Jianqiu frowned and asked, "Is it her own hand?" ”
Yang Han shook his head and whispered, "I also suspected that Brother Changxue said that it was caused by his negligence when he dodged your sword. Xiao Mu, although you usually have someone to protect you and don't need to use your own sword, I still know your swordsmanship, and even I am not sure that I can defeat you. Later, Brother Changxue kept an eye on him, and after we came down, he was always with him......" The meaning is very clear, Feng Changxue has been monitoring her, and she has no chance to start.
"Let someone check if the poison needles in that building are as toxic as they are in hers." Mu Jianqiu's voice did not fluctuate at all, and his eyes looked at all these people and things in this night with a heavy light, "Even if the toxicity is consistent, it can't rule out her suspicion." ”
The doctor had arrived, a sturdy sixty-year-old man with goat's beard. After diagnosing Bai Zhengyan's injury, he shook his head and said: "This poison is very domineering, it will hurt the muscles and bones, but it will not be fatal for a while, I see blood, enter the meridians, and there is an injury to this wrist, I am afraid that the wrist of this right arm will not be flexible in the future." He took out a pen and paper from his backpack, wrote a prescription and handed it to Bai Zhengyan, "The medicine you used for your wound is excellent, and the ingredients of that medicine can detoxify, but fortunately, this arm was saved." This prescription can only help reduce the toxicity in your body, and if you want to completely remove the poison, you need to find a famous doctor for diagnosis! ”
"Doctor, can't the muscles and bones of this wrist be healed?" Feng Changxue said with concern, and a serious look flashed on Yurong Qinghua's face in the night.
"With the medicinal properties of this medicine, even if you take the antidote immediately, it will hurt your muscles and bones, not to mention that there is no antidote?" The doctor sighed, "I can only identify some of its main drugs from the smell on the silver needle, and some side medicines are powerless." ”
Seeing Feng Changxue looking over, the catcher on the side hurriedly replied, "We just searched those assassins, and they don't have any medicine on them. ”
Presumably those assassins had already taken it, because they would not carry the antidote on their bodies, and they didn't want their right wrist to fold here today, Bai Zhengyan also sighed in his heart. If Gu Xi was here, he would definitely be able to distinguish it with his medical skills, and perhaps he would have known it when the silver needles first appeared upstairs. Gu Xi, Gu Xi, she originally wanted to gamble with her hands on him for a master-apprentice agreement, did she want her to repay his affection with her hands today?
Bai Zhengyan looked up at the little snow fox in Feng Changxue's arms, and a gentle and sad smile flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Changxue, this is the medicine given by Xiao Mu!" Yang Han walked over again, holding a pearl-like crystal round pill in his palm.
Feng Changxue glanced at it and knew that this was a secret medicine in the palace, which had the effect of detoxification and detoxification. Even so, I am afraid that I can only clean up the residual poison in my body faster, but it is useless for Bai Zhengyan's wrist injury. He stretched out his hand to take the pill, handed it to Bai Zhengyan, and said with a slight smile: "Xiao Mu's thoughts, Brother Bai Xian, take it!" This medicine has the effect of detoxification and conditioning, which can get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Bai Zhengyan looked at the pill and fixed his mind, he couldn't blame him for this, but he also blamed himself for being soft-hearted and meddling. Her mind is no longer the state of mind that a nineteen-year-old girl should have, how many things she has experienced over the years, how many life and death have passed, how many have not been wronged, and how many have not made people depressed? This is really a small thing! The calmness and open-mindedness in her eyes made people's eyes shine, and the brilliance on the face that laughed had already overshadowed the deep scar on her cheek, but she felt that she was instantly unprovoked, reached out and took the pill in Feng Changxue's hand, threw it in the palm of her hand, and said softly: "It's okay!" ”
Yang Han looked at him a little strangely, it was really strange that this person could laugh so sincerely without hurting his hands.
Feng Changxue stared into her eyes, there was a kind of relief that had gone through all the vicissitudes of life, and there was a kind of sadness of leaving the world to be independent, which made her clear and lonely eyes so beautiful. He stood quietly, there was a trace of astonishment in his eyes, the fire in the air in the distance was burning brightly, and there was an endless stream of busy figures downstairs in the distant mountains; The shops on this side seem to be still, only the silhouettes of a few people, each hidden in the lacquer night, but she is like the most eye-catching and beautiful scenery in this picture.
Bai Zhengyan put the pill and prescription in his sleeve, stood up and beckoned to the little fox, "Come with me!" ”
The little fox raised his head and glanced at Feng Changxue, who was handsome and elegant, and then turned his head to say something white, his crystal moist eyes seemed to flash a trace of hesitation, and finally jumped up from between Feng Changxue's arms and jumped into the hands that Bai Zhengyan stretched out to it. She hugged the little fox, nodded its forehead with a smile, and said happily: "Even if you are interested, you are still a grateful person." Besides, you are fascinated by beauty, and the person you were fascinated by at the beginning was also me, although now you know that I have some flaws on my face, but you can't dislike me because of it, you know? ”
Yang Han chuckled lightly and looked at Bai Zhengyan suspiciously again.
The little fox rolled her eyes ignorantly, snuggled into her arms as if she didn't understand, and stretched out her little fleshy paw to touch the bandage of her wrist, and the action was extremely gentle.
Feng Changxue frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "At this moment, the situation is unclear, and the toxicity of the virtuous brother is unresolved, so don't leave the group without permission." What's more, we are familiar with Moguo, and the virtuous brother should be with us until we solve this life-threatening worry. ”
