Chapter 22: The Poisoned Woman
Although she was still a little uneasy, Yu Rong already understood that Xie Xing really wanted to help the three of them, and she didn't have any other ideas, plus what Xie Xing and Ding Qiu said, they would soon start doing business, and their hearts gradually settled down.
That night, Xie Xing drew the equipment for brewing high-grade liquor, handed it to Xiaoqiu, and handed most of the gold coins to Xiaoqiu, and asked him to go out and find the house and immediately start building it separately. He himself went to a blacksmith shop and made a pocket crossbow with nine small arrows.
The crossbow Xie Xing had built before, and he learned it from his instructor, but there was no machine tool here, so he could only use manual work, and it took Xie Xing three days to do this.
In three days, Ding Qiu and Yu Rong had already found a place to live, and the five of them had moved to a rented house, but they didn't need to continue to live in the inn.
Ding Qiu was busy with these things, and Xie Xing was now busy preparing things to kill this and Weng He. The nine Hidden Arrows had been soaked in poison by him, although there were no high-grade poisonous weeds to buy here, and there was no poisonous snake's birth liquid. But Xie Xing still relied on his knowledge to refine a small bottle of venom from herbs.
I don't know what the reason is, but Xie Xing is extremely disgusted with this Weng He.
When everything was ready, Ding Qiu and Yu Rong also sorted out the place where the wine was made. Xie Xing knew that before he killed this Weng He, he didn't have the heart to make wine, so he could only tell Ding Qiu and Yu Rong in detail about some knowledge of winemaking and the equipment needed, anyway, he would still need their help in the future.
On the fourth day, Xie Xing's things were ready, although he was still very thin now, but with his hidden arrows and daggers and his experience in killing, there should be no problem in attacking and killing a Weng He.
"Xiaoqiu, I'm going out at night, if you come back late, you don't have to wait for me. Xie Xing said hello to Ding Qiu before leaving.
"Brother Xing, are you going to kill that Weng He?" Xie Xing has been busy refining poison and building weapons in the past few days, of course, he can't hide it from Ding Qiu.
"Yes, I'm going to kill this brute. Xie Xing didn't hide it, Ding Qiu could be regarded as a friend who lived and died together, there was no need to hide this kind of thing.
"Gongzi Xie, don't kill him, this person is extremely cruel, you ...... The three of us are already very satisfied with our current life, as long as the wine is brewed, the future will be better, and I don't want my husband's things. Xie Xing and Ding Qiu's words were unexpectedly overheard by Yu Rong, and immediately came out to stop them.
She wasn't worried about Weng He, but about Xie Xing. Xie Xing, who has thin arms and legs, has almost no chance to face Weng He.
"Sister Yu, you don't have to worry, I can definitely kill this bastard and get back what belongs to your mother and son. And in the future, call me Xie Xing, this son's mother and son sound very awkward. Xie Xing smiled slightly, immediately said goodbye to the two, and turned around and went quickly.
Although he still has thin arms and legs, Xie Xing has been here for more than ten days, and these days he has regained some of his original agility, and he is no longer weak when he first came.
Ding Qiu understood Xie Xing's resolute style very well, but Yu Rong saw the other side of Xie Xing for the first time, decisively did not procrastinate, and he didn't seem to have any discomfort in the face of killing. It seems that he didn't go to kill people at night, but to go shopping.
Although the pocket crossbow was placed in his sleeve, Xie Xing still hid it under his wrist. Because this pocket strong crossbow really can't be considered pocket-sized, it is twice as big as the strong crossbow he originally used.
These stars are also helpless, after all, there are no machine tools here, and he can't make a real pocket strong crossbow with his handwork. But that's it, as long as the sleeves are wider, it's not easy to see.
Weng He's residence Xie Xing had already figured out that although there were patrols in Xiyu City at night, in Xie Xing's opinion, these patrols were in the form of tasks and would not play a big role. Moreover, because Xiyu City is a big commercial city, there are many traders from all over the world coming and going every day, so the gate of this city is closed very late, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Xie Xing wants to kill this Weng He before the city gate is closed.
In this way, even if he found out that Weng He was dead, he didn't know if the murderer had already left the city, and Xie Xing believed that with an outsider like Weng He, he would die if he died, and no one would investigate his death at all, just like if he Xie Xing was killed in Xiyu City, it would be equivalent to the death of an ant, and no one would investigate.
So Xie Xing had already touched Weng He's residence. However, what made Xie Xing strange was that it was already dark now, but there was no light in Weng He's house. According to Xie Xing's stepping on the plate in the past few days, this Weng He should not go anywhere.
Just when Xie Xing thought that this Weng He was not at home, or that he had left the city and did not come back, he heard the sound of talking. Weng He's family, who has always been a loner, is there anyone now?
"Lao Qi, are you sure this woman is poisoned?" Weng He's voice Xie Xing heard it as soon as he heard it, and it seemed that the person who was talking to him was called Lao Qi.
A hoarse voice came: "Brother Weng, don't you still believe me?" I saw with my own eyes that this woman's footsteps were vain, and she was buying antidote medicinal materials in Zhuwan Town, and after this woman left, I went to ask about it. It was indeed an antidote to the poison, and this woman was very generous, and after letting my carriage take her to the Wulian Mountain Range, she gave me two gold coins casually.
It's definitely a fat thing, I guess she should be healing in the Wulian Mountains now, and now the two of us her while she was weak, as long as I made this stroke, I would immediately wash my hands and not dry it. And ......"
"Hmph, what? Old Seven, don't play tricks in front of me Weng He, if this woman is really as seriously injured as you said, and she is also a rich master, will you call me? I'm afraid you would have gone alone a long time ago." Weng He snorted coldly, obviously not believing the words of the old seven.
The man named Lao Qi was silent for a moment before he said: "Brother Weng, I won't lie to you, I suspect that this woman is not an ordinary person, she is likely to be a star person." You know how terrifying a star is when he is dying, I think you have a throwing knife technique, we can take her down as long as we don't get close to her.
If there is a star skill or a magic weapon or something, the two of us will divide it equally. What do you think?"
"What?" Weng He was surprised to speak loudly, but he reacted immediately, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Old Seven, what you said is true? This woman is really a star cultivator, and she is seriously injured?"
Xie Xing could tell from his tone that this Weng He was tempted, and he was very excited.
"If I deceive you, I won't die, and Brother Weng, don't think I don't know about the blue iron, you see if I said a word, I didn't even say half a word. I know that the reason why you let Yu Rong go was to wait for them to leave the city so that you could kill the three of them, but you didn't expect them to be out of the city yet.
I, Huang Qi, swear here that as long as this time is successful, I will be responsible for luring the three of Yu Rong out of the city. She's with a skinny boy named Dingqiu now, and there seems to be a skinny boy, but I haven't seen that kid all along. Lao Qi's words seemed to be very excited, but Xie Xing could hear that this guy was pretending.
Xie Xing didn't expect that someone was secretly investigating them, fortunately, he was outside these days, and he only went back to sleep very late, but he didn't expect to be investigated, it seems that he underestimated the people here.
"Old Seven, are you secretly investigating me?" Weng He's face immediately became ugly.
(Thank you for the tip, thank you.) Chapter 2 will come out a little late. )
