Chapter 121: Incense Elixir as a Reward
When he took the porcelain vase, the masked man's face hidden under the mask changed suddenly, as if he was puzzled and nervous, extremely strange, but he watched Ling Qingrui leave with Bingyan without any waves, when their backs gradually disappeared, the masked man opened the porcelain vase in his hand and sniffed it gently, and the fingers of his other hand suddenly clenched in an instant, and when he released it again, a gold ingot that had been deformed by him fell to the ground.
The masked man looked at the gold ingots on the ground in disgust, and stepped on it into the ground with a fierce kick, and even crushed it a few times before slowly retracting his foot.
Swallowing the pill in the porcelain bottle given by Ling Qingrui without hesitation, the masked man threw the porcelain bottle into the river with his hand, and then he sighed: "Come out!" ”
Several dark figures knelt on the ground silently.
"Throw those useless things into the ice cave." The masked man's voice at this time did not have a trace of emotion, and it was extremely cold.
The body of the black shadow on the ground trembled slightly, and one of the black shadows jumped out of his body in response, while the others continued to kneel in place.
There was silence for a long time, and then a dark shadow cautiously tentatively said, "Do you want your subordinates to ...... again?"
"Are you as stupid as everyone else?" The masked man snorted coldly, his body jumped, and with a crimson streamer, he disappeared into the night.
And Ling Qingrui, who left from there, instructed Bing Yan: "Bing Yan, you go back to the inn first, and I'll go look for the first snow." ”
Bingyan immediately said: "It's better for the young lady to go back first, and the slave maid will go look for the first snow." ”
"No, you're still injured!" Ling Qingrui flatly refused.
Bingyan smiled and said, "What is this little injury, it won't take a few days to heal." ”
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Chu Xue rushed over from the side, and saw Ling Qingrui crying with shame on her face: "Miss, are you okay?" It's all because the slave is too useless, Miss, you punish the slave and the maid, woo woo woo ......"
Ling Qingrui sighed helplessly and asked softly, "Where were you squeezed just now?" ”
Chu Xue sobbed and replied: "The slave maid was almost knocked down by someone first, so she didn't keep up with the young lady, and then the slave maid ran into that bastard of Tian Qinghai, who was talking to a person with eyes, and he seemed to have something unsightly, so he let the slave and maid surround him." ”
Chu Xue didn't expect it to be so coincidental, she thought that Tian Qinghai had a problem, maybe she was bought by Aunt Shen, but she didn't want to directly bump into him and connect with others, there were many people on the other side, Chu Xue couldn't get out, and then Uncle Jiang arrived and took Tian Qinghai by surprise, and Chu Xue was able to get out.
handed Tian Qinghai over to Uncle Jiang for disposal, Chu Xue learned from Uncle Jiang that Ling Qingrui had just experienced life and death, fortunately, when Uncle Jiang found Miss, Miss had been rescued, Uncle Jiang did not show up, turned his head to look for Chu Xue, Chu Xue felt extremely guilty in her heart, and felt that she was too useless, if it wasn't for Uncle Jiang to persuade her that Miss would worry about her, I am afraid she would not have the face to come back to see Miss.
In the end, Chu Xue said again: "Uncle Jiang said that it was not good for him to protect Miss, so that Miss was in danger, and let the slave maid ask Miss for his guilt." ”
"It's no wonder Uncle Jiang for this matter, there are too many people watching the lanterns, and it happened suddenly, it's not easy for him to find me."
Uncle Jiang was originally the one who followed the general Ling Qingcang into battle to kill the enemy, and he may be good at opening and closing bravely charging, but if he is asked to stalk people and play conspiracy, he is very reluctant, and it can be seen from what he has done in the past ten years.
After calming the first snow, Ling Qingrui and the three of them went back.
And Bingyan endured it for a long time and didn't hold back, and finally asked, "Why did Miss ask that person for these gold ingots just now?" ”
Ling Qingrui was silent for a long time, and said: "Bingyan, we have been fighting there for a long time, and the sound is not small, there are so many people watching the lanterns, can you see any of them coming?" ”
Bingyan shook her head, understood in an instant, and asked, "Miss is suspicious...... But he did save the young lady, perhaps because he was good at martial arts to hear the sound of fighting. However, this person is strong in martial arts, and his origin is unknown, so it is right that the young lady does not have too much contact with him...... Hey? ”
As she spoke, Bingyan suddenly sighed in surprise.
"What, what do you remember?"
"The slave suddenly remembered a rumor in the rivers and lakes, there is an extremely mysterious Qianshuang Building on the rivers and lakes, no one knows the true face of the owner of the Qianshuang Building, but the rumors seem to say that the owner of the Qianshuang Building has excellent martial arts, and he usually uses the most ordinary gold and silver as a secret weapon, is it ......?"
The rumors were already ethereal, how could they be taken seriously, not to mention that although the masked man was weird tonight, he actually used gold ingots as a secret weapon, but when Ling Qingrui bypassed him, he smelled a faint fragrance coming from him, and immediately became suspicious.
When he burst out laughing, Ling Qingrui sensed something unusual from his laughter, which confirmed her guess.
That kind of fragrance Ling Qingrui had seen a detailed description in that poison scripture, that kind of light fragrance was after being poisoned, and it was not a short time, it would gradually produce and emit out.
That kind of poison, called eclipse incense, slowly erodes the human body, and causes a light fragrance in the human body, eclipse incense is used to control a kind of poison in people, if the poisoned person can not take the antidote regularly, it will start to rot from the internal organs, until the whole body is eroded after seven days and seven nights, it is very terrifying.
And this incense also has an extremely vicious point, that is, if the poisoned person can not take the real antidote after the body gradually exudes a light fragrance, the poison will still attack slowly, and every first day of the new year, there will be severe pain to torment the poisoner, and no medicine can relieve this severe pain.
Thinking that the Thousand Frost Building is mysterious, the owner of the building has superb martial arts, and he should not be controlled by the poison of the incense.
At that time, after Ling Qingrui saw the description of this eclipse incense on the Poison Sutra, she felt that it was too bad, but she configured the antidote to the eclipse incense on a whim, and she didn't want to use it today, and Ling Qingrui gave the mask man the antidote to the incense, just to reward him for saving his life, so as to clear up the connection with the other party.
No matter where the masked man came from or whether he had any other intentions, she didn't want to have anything to do with the other party.
Looking up at the inn in front of her, Ling Qingrui restrained her mood, told Chu Xue a few words, and told Bing Yan to sneak back quietly, and then walked in.
As soon as they walked to the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying, they heard Aunt Shen's crying faintly from inside, and when they reached the door of the house, they clearly heard the sound inside.
"Master, how is this good, it's so chaotic outside, sir, send someone to find Miss Rui, no matter what, let Miss Rui come back first."
followed by Liu Mengyan's delicate cry: "Yes, father, it's all because Yan'er has to propose to see what lanterns, I don't want too many people, Yan'er and my sister can't catch up with Sister Rui's footsteps, so I can only watch Sister Rui seem to follow a ...... A man walked away. ”
There was a "bang" sound, and it seemed that something fell to the ground, and then the old lady's shout: "Yan'er, don't talk nonsense, how could Rui'er follow a man away from her always been well-behaved?" Zhe'er, you send someone to find me now, if you can't find Rui'er, I'll stay in Lejiang Town and not leave! ”
Then, the old lady said: "And you, if there is the slightest bit of unfavorable news about Rui'er, I will ask you!" ”
There were reluctant voices from Liu Mengxi and the others, and what Liu Mengyan said sounded comforting at first glance, but in fact it was words that added fuel to the fire.
"Grandmother, don't be angry, maybe Sister Rui is just meeting up with a friend and will be back in a while. No, it should be Yan'er who saw it wrong, how could Sister Rui know any man in Lejiang Town, it must be Yan'er who saw it wrong, the man was holding the hand of someone else at that time, it must be like this! ”
Outside the door, stopping the shouts of Ning Feng, who was overjoyed, Ling Qingrui's lips hooked up a faint smile, this Aunt Shen and the three of them really spared no effort to destroy her, looking for ruffians to deal with her, and ruining her reputation in front of the old lady, but unfortunately they miscalculated.
With Liu Mengyan's sentence "If Sister Rui can come back safely, Yan'er is willing to do anything", Ling Qingrui stepped in.
"Is the second sister really willing to do anything?" Ling Qingrui indifferently swept over the surprised and disappointed faces of Liu Mengyan and the others, "I've seen Lord Liu, it's Rui'er's fault for making grandmother worry, and Rui'er can't compensate grandmother." ”
As soon as the old lady saw Ling Qingrui standing in front of her, she immediately stretched out her hand and pulled her over, looked carefully and saw that she was indeed fine, and then said: "Rui'er, next time you must not be so willful, if you want to go somewhere, just tell your grandmother that it is safer for people to follow." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Shen and the three of them looked ugly as if they had swallowed flies.
"Grandmother! Why is grandmother so partial, are we your own granddaughter, or that little...... Hmmm......"
Aunt Shen saw that something was wrong, and immediately covered Liu Mengxi's mouth, and said one after another: "Don't blame the old lady, Xi'er was anxious about Miss Rui's safety before, and she was a little dizzy and talking nonsense, so the concubine will take her back to rest." ”
Aunt Shen and Liu Mengyan were almost half-dragged and half-dragged, and brought Liu Mengxi, who was constantly struggling to speak, back to the room.
As soon as she let go of the hand covering her mouth, Liu Mengxi shouted: "Mother, why don't you let me finish, grandmother is eccentric!" My sister and I came back crying like a tearful person, and I didn't see my grandmother say anything reassuring, but she blamed us, but as soon as she heard that something had happened to the little slut, she wanted to run to find someone herself, and the little slut came back even more ......."
"Shut up, don't say any more!" Aunt Shen couldn't help but scold.
"Mother......" Liu Mengxi was so aggrieved that she almost burst into tears.
Liu Mengyan rubbed her forehead with a headache, and said softly: "Sister, since you know what your grandmother is doing with her partiality and touching that brow, you have made your grandmother unhappy." ”
"But ......"
"Sister, don't do it, this time it's her fate, but she won't be able to escape tomorrow, and then my sister must hold back, don't be too happy."
Hearing this, Liu Mengxi seemed to understand something, so he could be regarded as quiet.
Tomorrow......
