Chapter 64: Next time, definitely
Entering Miancheng, the wide streets are sparsely populated, and I think about it, when such a thing happens, everyone is in danger, how can they come out and run around.
Wells are available in many parts of the city, making it easy for nearby residents to get water.
When Su Chen and the others entered the city not long ago, they walked into a small street, and a well stood in the middle of the road, and the houses lined up on both sides of the road were now closed.
"Mr. Su, this is it."
Huang Kaishan pointed to the water well.
Su Chen nodded, the two walked to the well together, Huang Kaishan took the initiative to get a bucket of water, stared straight at it, and after a while, he had an idea, followed Su Chen's example, put his hand on the wooden bucket, and the essence appeared in his hand.
A smile flashed in Su Chen's eyes, he learned from each other, and in this regard, Huang Kaishan did a good job.
"Gollum..."
Sure enough, when the water in the bucket came into contact with the essence, it was directly like boiling, gurgling and bubbling, and after a short time the bubbling stopped, a layer of scorched black appeared.
This time more, almost the entire surface of the water was covered.
"Shhhhh
Seeing this scene, Huang Kaishan directly gasped, looked up at Su Chen in shock, and asked, "Mr. Su, what the hell is this?" ”
The water in this well is used by all, and does not that mean that the inhabitants who are still good......
He didn't dare to think that if that was the case, it would be a disaster!
"Gu poison."
Su Chen glanced at Jiao Hei and then withdrew his gaze, since it was in a well, it was definitely more than this.
"Gu poison?"
When Huang Kaishan heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, and the wrinkles on his forehead also wrinkled.
"But... That's something from the Miao Kingdom, Xijun is in the hinterland of the Shu Kingdom, how could it appear here? ”
There is a considerable distance between Miao and Shu, and there is a Qianguo in the middle, just talking about the distance, I don't think it will cross thousands of miles to get here.
"Anything is possible."
Su Chen also felt strange, but now was not the time to dwell on this.
In the following time, Su Chen and the others walked all over the wells in Miancheng, and the results were all poisoned without exception.
The situation was directly raised to a level, and it was obvious that someone wanted to be unfavorable to Miancheng.
"Be sure to tell the king!"
Huang Kaishan clenched his hands to death, this Gu person obviously wanted to kill the ordinary people of the entire Miancheng!
"Mr. Su, is there a solution to this?"
Then, he looked at Su Chen with burning eyes, and said in a pleading tone: "If there is, no matter what the price is, Kaishan is willing to bear it!" ”
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, he could hear the sincerity in Huang Kaishan's words, and knew that he was concerned about the common people, which could be seen from the respect of other pharmacists for him.
After thinking for a while, Su Chen said: "Even if the price will be very high, even heavy, can you bear it?" ”
"I can!"
Huang Kaishan looked overjoyed, and said without hesitation, as long as it can be solved, it is easy to say anything!
It's good to have this realization.
Su Chen prescribed several kinds of herbs, each of which was not very precious, but there was a hard requirement, it must be more than a hundred years old.
Any herb that is more than 100 years old, even if it can be found everywhere, will increase its value countless times, not to mention that it has a certain value in itself.
So the difficulty lies in the difficulty of not being easy to obtain.
Huang Kaishan was not nervous after hearing this, but breathed a sigh of relief, "This is easy to do, I will write to the king of the county and ask him to collect the herbs and send them." ”
I thought it was a price, but when I heard that it was just a hundred years of herbs, Huang Kaishan felt relaxed, what a big deal.
Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that Huang Kaishan's identity is not just as simple as the identity of the accompanying pharmacist of the king of Xijun. Listening to that tone, it was obvious that he was talking on the same level as King Xijun.
Suddenly, Su Chen's heart was startled, and a chill rushed up from his back.
Instantly subconsciously moved, took out the broken sword from the storage bracelet, pushed Huang Kaishan aside with his left hand, and turned around to block the broken sword.
"Boom!"
The crisp sound of gold and iron colliding spread, and I saw that he was opposite Su Chen, wearing a black suit, his whole body, and even his face were tightly wrapped, revealing only a pair of eyes, dressed as an assassin.
The Assassin took a blue-edged sword and slashed at the broken sword.
Seeing that the blow was blocked, the assassin did not hesitate at all, and directly pulled back, then regained his strength, and rushed towards Su Chen with his sword.
"Bell... Bell Bell Bell ......"
The figures of the two were staggered together, and for a while, the sound of swords colliding continued.
Huang Kaishan was on the side, his eyes had been chasing them, hesitating whether to step forward, he was not good at fighting, and he didn't know whether it was good to get involved.
On the contrary, it was Su Chen, who fought back and forth with the assassins, of course, only on swordsmanship.
Because the assassins did not use martial arts cultivation from the beginning, only pure physical skills and swordsmanship.
Su Chen was surprised for a moment when he noticed this, and then he gradually became serious, and soon the momentum of suppressing the assassin appeared in swordsmanship.
The assassin was also very surprised at this time, a cold look flashed in his eyes, the martial arts realm exploded, the situation was reversed in an instant, and the powerful martial arts realm directly suppressed Su Chen.
However, he was so powerful that his explosive power only repelled Su Chen with a sword, jumped onto the house and retreated.
Su Chen frowned and looked at this scene, the realm of Martial Sect was not an opponent that he could deal with now, what kind of person could afford to invite this kind of existence to be an assassin? Is there anything to do with the Gu in the well?
"Mr. Su, are you okay?"
Huang Kaishan hurriedly came over and asked with concern, a Martial Sect assassin appeared in Miancheng, this is not a trivial matter!
Su Chen glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "The assassin's target is not me, it's you. ”
"It's me?"
Huang Kaishan was stunned, he didn't offend anyone, how could he attract assassins?
If there is no reason, how could the assassins be dispatched, I am afraid that today's actions have attracted the attention of the people behind all this.
In order to prevent Huang Kaishan from continuing to investigate, he did not hesitate to dispatch the Wuzong assassin to assassinate him, or he was unable to act.
In this case, the presence of an assassin this time is a warning.
Continuing the pursuit is not as simple as an assassination.
"Huang Yaoshi!"
The sound came from far and near, and when Su Chen and the others heard the voice, they saw a middle-aged man in a black robe with a plain appearance carrying the corner of the robe, trotting, and rushing here.
"City Lord Liu!"
Seeing this, Huang Kaishan also shouted.
"Hehe, if it weren't for the city patrol guards to inform me, I wouldn't know that Huang Yaoshi had entered the city."
Liu Yi laughed and said, "Huang Yaoshi is in trouble? The guard said you've been looking at the well in the city. ”
Huang Kaishan was about to speak, when Su Chen next to him suddenly coughed lightly, which made him look at him suspiciously, and then instantly comprehended, and said with a vague smile: "It's nothing, it's just an accident that I thought about the current situation in Miancheng, and whether the daily life of the residents will be affected." ”
"Water is the foundation of life, let's take a look."
Liu Yi blinked, glanced at Su Chen quietly, smiled, and said, "Huang Yaoshi cares about the people of Miancheng, and it is the blessing of my Miancheng!" ”
"City Lord Liu has an overreputation, this is what I should do."
Huang Kaishan has also been in officialdom for a long time, and his ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is perfect.
After the two exchanged polite words, Liu Yi turned his attention to Su Chen, "Who is this little friend?" ”
Before Huang Kaishan could speak, Su Chen took the lead and said: "Su Chen, there is an unknown junior, my father ordered me to follow Huang Yaoshi for a long time. ”
"Oh..."Liu Yi's eyes flashed suddenly, and he asked, "I don't know what Ling Zun is......"
"People in the mountains and wilderness are not worth the sun."
Su Chen's tone was flat, and he replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
“……”
A flash of annoyance flashed in Liu Yi's eyes, and he didn't want to say that he wouldn't behave so bluntly! can hold his own identity, and with Huang Kaishan present, it is not good to have a seizure, so he can only stare at it hatefully.
"Huang Yaoshi, since you have come here, why don't you go to the City Lord's Mansion to set up a banquet?"
He turned his head and extended an invitation to Huang Kaishan again.
"Nope."
Huang Kaishan politely refused, "There are many matters outside the city that still need me to be the master, next time, next time, next time." ”
