Chapter 48: Poisoning
"Bang! Bang bang! ”
A few hurried knocks on the door were particularly harsh on the silent street, but the bookkeeper and Xiao Er in the restaurant just hid behind the table and didn't dare to open the door.
Li Er, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, struck again, followed by two soldiers.
"Open the door! Open the door! Li Er yelled at the restaurant where he often frequented, but he was always on the account.
Xiao Er sounded like his voice, but there were many people who were sent there, but he was not sure, so he poked his head out and responded: "Who?" ”
"Stinky boy, I can't hear my voice, it's me, come and open the door!" Li Er urged.
Xiao Er was determined at this time, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, walked a few steps, dropped the door bolt, and opened the door for Li Er. As soon as the door opened a gap, Li Er pushed hard, and the door frame hit Xiao Er's forehead, Xiao Er took two steps back, stumbled, and almost fell, but he knew that no one could be provoked, so he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak, laughing, and rushed into the room to Li Er, who looked a little older behind the table, walked out from behind the table with a smile, and said, "Li Ye, Li Ye." ”
Li Er came to a table, just wanted to sit down, the quick-eyed Xiao Er tore off the rag on his shoulder, wiped it for him, Li Er nodded with satisfaction, extremely useful, then sat down, and then said: "Go, let your cook cook a few dishes for the master, and the master will take it away." ”
Mr. Bookkeeper seemed to be the owner of this restaurant, he made a pot of hot tea from the table, carried it to Li Er's table, and just wanted to serve and entertain him, but Li Er impatiently patted the case and said angrily: "Don't go quickly!" ”
Mr. glanced at him, Xiao Er understood, turned around and walked towards the back kitchen, Mr. turned up three teacups from the table, poured them for the three masters, and then smiled and listened: "Master Li, what's going on in the city today, could it be that the jade-faced fox has reappeared in broad daylight?" ”
Li Er picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" ”
Mr. is naturally interested, and he doesn't dare to ask more questions on the side.
It didn't take long for Xiao Er to carry the food box and hurriedly walked out of the back kitchen, saying as he walked: "Master Li, the dishes are here, these are all the signature dishes of our Wangjiang Restaurant." ”
Li Er didn't have the heart to listen to this little er's chatter, and glanced at the soldier standing behind him, and the soldier casually snatched the food box in the small second-hand hand.
"Master Li, go slowly, go slowly." Xiao Er sent Li Er out with a huff.
Li Er walked through the streets and alleys, and after a short time, he returned to the city lord's mansion.
City Lord Li came slowly from a distance, Niu Neng got up from the ground, smiled and shook the meat on his face to greet him, "City Lord," Li Er carried the food box, Li Hu nodded, and then took out the poison from his arms, signaled Li Er to open the food box, the fragrance was overflowing, several plates of delicacies were taken out by Li Er, Li Hu sprinkled the poison evenly, and said, "Send it in." His heart was much more at peace.
Li Er pointed to a soldier guarding the Moon Gate and said, "You, send this in." ”
The soldier glanced at Niu Neng, Niu Neng nodded, he took it, looked down at the food box, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, because he only heard that there was a young man in the house, but he didn't know what kind of person it was, so he had a fear that came from nowhere, but he didn't dare to resist, so he had to lift his heavy feet and bow his head and move forward.
The door opened.
The big green donkey whimpered and twisted his head.
The soldier just wanted to walk in, but suddenly a strong wind hit in front of him, and the hand holding the food box felt an invisible qi suddenly dragging, and involuntarily let go, and the food box swept into the house, and the door snapped shut quickly, leaving only the soldier with cold sweat oozing from his forehead in horror.
The food box fell and landed on the desk, inexplicably wiping the sword, using a cyan silk handkerchief embroidered with white lotus.
On the body of the sword, there were ripples, and the two shallow autumn water in the inexplicable eyes stared at it.
For a long time, I wiped away a tear from the corner of my eye, but it was only for a moment. The long sword was put into the sheath, and the wine from his waist was inexplicably removed.
A bowl of rice on Huangquan Road, a sad song of three or two wines before his death!
Now, he's going to do it for himself!
Inexplicably, he pulled out the gourd stopper, took out the preserved egg's favorite enamel bowl from the waist pouch, and put it on the table. He poured it full of wine, and the preserved egg turned his head to look inexplicably, thoughtfully.
Inexplicably holding the wine gourd, looking at a few delicacies on the table, the empty heart makes him have no appetite, once a person falls into such a lonely situation, all he can do is nothing more than to look back, a few figures in the moonlight, reflected in his heart, looking back on his life, loved, painful, hateful, inaction in the previous life, life and death difficulties in this life, oppressing him, destroying him, even if he is proud, he may lower his head, but this time, he does not want to bow his head.
He is the one who died once, so he is not afraid of death. A man can not have the ability to go through the heavens and the earth, but he cannot lose the pride of righteousness, he cannot be indifferent to the death of his beloved, let alone being implicated and tired by himself.
Inexplicably raised the wine gourd, just to the mouth, but looked down and caught a glimpse of the preserved egg on the table, only to see it, two paws held the enamel bowl that belonged to it, the pupils revealed a trace of undetectable sadness, inexplicably smiled slightly, things in this world are sometimes so mysterious, and in the end, he was accompanied by this young and lovely, but there is a mysterious and strange old friend.
Inexplicably, he sighed lightly, touched it lightly with the enamel bowl of wine gourd and preserved eggs, and said, "Preserved eggs, drink!"
If it were usual, this preserved egg skin uncle would definitely put down the big bowl, raise his claws and clench his fists, squeak and scream, and inevitably make a noise, but now for some reason, it has become extremely honest, silently lowered its head, and drank the wine without saying a word.
Inexplicably swallowed a sip of spirits, his heart was empty, his mind was like a ball of paste, he didn't know what to think, and there was a sulk in his chest, which made him very uncomfortable. He lifted the gourd, tilted his head and closed his eyes, and the wine poured down his forehead on his body, and from time to time, he took two sips.
His body was soaked, from head to toe, and he didn't know why he did it, he just knew that he wanted to do it, maybe it would calm him down.
Inexplicably wiped the wine off his face, took a sip, then shook his head, and looked down to see that the dishes on the table had been messed up with preserved eggs, but it only ate a few pieces of meat and threw them away.
Inexplicably, he stretched out his hand and summoned the flying slave bird, the bird landed on his wrist, he held the flying slave bird, went upstairs, pushed open a window, and said: "Let's go, fly to where you want to go, your life should be spent among the clouds."
The bird pecked at its inexplicable arm, shook its body, combed its white feathers, and then flapped its wings away.
A few bows sounded, the thunderbolts were startled, and the flying slave bird made a long chirp, dodged a few cold rays, and flew with its wings.
"His grandmother's!" The oxen, who had fallen to the ground, got up and scolded angrily with his axe.
How could he not know the movement outside the attic, he stepped down from the attic, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, and his heart became extremely calm, he secretly thought to himself, the adult's city government scheming, let him know how to plan and then move, at the same time, the city lord Li Hu outside the attic once again stopped the giant axe, and wanted to rush into the evil man Niu Neng, because he had a poisonous plan in his heart, water and fire were ruthless, and the inexplicable being trapped in the attic is now the most applicable sentence, he smiled slyly, even if this inexplicably escaped his poison, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the sea of fire, Thinking of this, he beckoned Li Er, bowed his head and whispered a few words, and after Li Er received the order, he greeted more than 20 soldiers and left in a hurry.
Just when everyone outside the attic was waiting, he inexplicably began his plan. At this time, if he rashly raised his sword and rushed out, the first wave he would face must be the rain of arrows coming from the sky, and what he has to do now is how to avoid it, thinking of this, he untied the brocade bag on his waist, and took out a few stone-sized spirit stones with crystal clear and shining colors, spirit stones, heaven and earth aura accumulated for a hundred years, hidden deep in the earth, if there is a mountain and water between heaven and earth, it can become a spiritual vein, and Taibai Xiandi happens to have such a small spiritual vein, which produces this for the sect, Although the output of precious spirit stones is not much, it is enough for the Sword Sect to maintain the formation and refine the treasure weapon on a daily basis.
These pieces on his inexplicable body are the only ones he has, and before leaving, the purpose given by Feng Yao and let him bring them on his body is naturally not to expect these spirit stones to enable him to break through the bottleneck of cultivation, but to give him one more means to save his life in this treacherous world, at this time, the only few spirit stones inexplicably finally came in handy.
Inexplicably took out the spirit stone, stepped to the middle of the attic hall, and then a certain special rhythm of the movement slowly hit in all directions, the action is unhurried, but there is an indescribable beauty, relaxed, rich in fairy rhyme, but at the same time, a layer of mist appeared on his clothes, the sweat on his forehead dripping on the bluestone slab, the bruised green tendons rose and fell at the same time in his heavy panting, inexplicably exhausted the last trace of strength to form a magic seal, weak whisper: "Up!"
But I saw that the spirit stones that had been inexplicably hit everywhere floated up, emitting various colored beams of light and converging upward, forming a layer of bizarre spirit curtain that enveloped the entire room.
Sitting on the ground inexplicably, it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength, he hurriedly took out a small cyan porcelain bottle from the brocade bag, poured out a cyan pill and swallowed it, sat on the ground, and quickly recovered his aura.
