Chapter 553: The Key to the Treasure House
Bactria Dynasty.
A belated heavy snowfall shrouded the entire Tianyang City in the vastness.
With a howling cold wind.
It is rare to see passers-by on the snow-covered roads.
Even most of the shops are closed.
A tavern with a wine sign and the four big characters "Xunxian Tavern" on it is still open.
"With such a big snow outside, it doesn't look like business is going to be good today."
Li Shuquan, the shopkeeper of the tavern, sighed and sat back in the rocking chair behind him, his eyes gradually blurred in the swaying.
After sobering up a little, Li Shuquan picked up the still warm tea and sipped it lightly in the wind and snow outside the door.
"The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it looks like there will be no more business today, so it's better to close the store and rest early..."
Li Shuquan, who had waited for a long time and didn't wait for a guest to come, stood up and was about to close the business.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of him, and a burst of rouge fragrance and a faint smell of blood mixed with the wind and snow fell.
Then I heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from behind.
Li Shuquan, who was covered in goosebumps, hurriedly closed the door, and then turned his head to look.
Then I saw a young woman dressed in black struggling to climb into her chaise longue and sit down, and took out a sharp knife to cut the cloth on her arm, revealing a piercing wound that was still bleeding.
The young woman didn't seem to notice Li Shuquan's presence, took out a bottle of medicinal powder from the package hanging from her waist and poured it directly on the wound.
"Ahh
Even though she had endured it, the young woman cried out in pain.
But when I saw the wound that was still bleeding, I knew that the medicine powder just now had no effect at all.
On the contrary, the wound looked blue and purple, as if it had been poisoned.
"Bastard! This is not an antidote at all! It's poison! ”
"I didn't expect that even the people of the door wanted me to die! Do they really care about their fellow disciples? ”
Hurriedly took out a cyan pill from the package and took it, the young woman whose face had improved slightly breathed a sigh of relief, but still muttered to herself: "But this pill can only temporarily seal the circulation of toxins in my body, and after three hours, I still have to die, and now it will take at least five hours to go back to the sect for help, not to mention that the operation of spiritual power will also accelerate the circulation of toxins in my body..."
"Damn! Could it be that I, Murong Su, am really going to die in Huangquan? ”
Then.
Li Shuquan, who was standing aside and watched the whole process, whispered: "Girl, this is a tavern, isn't it..."
"Bang!"
The words are not finished yet.
The young woman took out a few spirit stones and put them on the table, and said to Li Shuquan: "Bring me a table of good dishes!" Bring me another jar of your best wine! ”
"Girl, you..."
Li Shuquan, who wanted to persuade the young woman to leave the tavern and go to the hospital for medical treatment, was glared at by the young woman's good-looking eyes, so he had to smile and move a jar of wine from the wall and put it on the table: "You can drink this jar of wine first, and then bring it to you when the meal is ready." ”
After that, Li Shuquan walked to the back kitchen with a strange look and prepared to cook.
Murong Su glanced at Li Shuquan, and finally put away the sharp knife that he had just held in his hand, turned around and picked up the wine jar and planned to pour himself a glass.
But just unveiled the seal on the jar.
An extremely strong fragrance permeated the entire tavern.
Murong Su, who opened the seal and only sniffed it, immediately showed an exaggerated expression of disbelief, so much so that he couldn't wait to raise his neck and start drinking in front of the wine jar.
Just a few breaths in time.
Murong Su, whose cheeks were flushed, drank the entire jar of wine, and she sat at the table with a wine-flavored belch from time to time.
Feeling the warm currents flowing through his body, Murong Rong, who was getting better and better, didn't have time to sigh, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the wound that was still bleeding just now.
I found that it was just a pot of wine, and the wound that was still bleeding just now had begun to scab over, and the blue and purple places after poisoning had slowly returned to their original skin color.
The body that had been running around for a long time was also full of strength at this time.
"I didn't expect this wine to have such a miraculous effect."
"No!"
Murong Su shook his head: "In this world, the one that can cure the "heart-eroding poison" must at least be a six-grade healing pill, this wine..."
Thinking that the poison in him was a heart-eroding poison that could only be solved by the six-grade healing elixir, Murong Su's eyes became more and more curious as he looked at the wine altar.
She had investigated Skyyang City and knew that it was a small and remote city inhabited only by mortals.
In this city, it was difficult to find a cultivator, let alone find a six-grade healing pill that could dispel heart poison.
"Shhh
"Could it be that the shopkeeper just now is actually an old-timer who has achieved cultivation and then trained in the red world?"
"Yes! It must be the old-timers who live in seclusion here, and they don't want to reveal their identity, so they found a way to let me drink this jar of wine to help me heal. ”
Although Li Shuquan didn't say a few words from just now, it didn't prevent Murong Su from making up for it in his heart.
Wait until Li Shuquan returns to the hall with six plates full of dishes.
Murong Su's eyes looking at him were no longer cold, but the admiration and gratitude that were visible to the naked eye.
Even before Li Shuquan put the dishes on the table, Murong Su took the initiative to reach out and take the plate, and said with words in his mouth: "Why bother the seniors with this kind of trivial matter, the juniors can come by themselves." ”
"Huh?" Li Shuquan was puzzled, why did this girl start calling herself an old-timer.
And this sound sounded to Murong Su as if Li Shuquan was blaming her.
Murong Su was shocked in his heart, hurriedly lowered his head and leaned over, and said cautiously and hesitantly: "The younger generation has no eyes, and he dares to scold the senior, but the senior ignores the previous suspicions, so that the younger generation can drink the immortal wine used for healing... The seniors are so magnanimous and righteous, and the juniors are really embarrassed, so how the seniors want to punish the juniors, the juniors have no complaints! ”
Saying that, in order to show his sincerity, Murong Su even thought about kneeling down towards Li Shuquan.
After listening to Murong Su's explanation, Li Shuquan, who understood everything, quickly stretched out his hand to stop Murong Su, who wanted to kneel down towards him.
Then force the person back into the chair and sit down.
Only then did he open his mouth and comfort: "Don't blame those who don't know, if you really want to thank me, sit down and taste the dishes I made first, and when you are full of food and drink, it will be the greatest thank you to me." ”
"Then the junior really started?"
"Uh-huh! Eat it. ”
Looking at Murong Su's careful appearance for fear that he would get angry and angry, Li Shuquan found it interesting, so he lay on the recliner and drank tea and said, "If you feel tired after eating, go to find a room above and rest for a while." ”
"Anyway, the spirit stones you gave are enough for you to live here for ten days and half a month."
The voice fell.
Murong Su wanted to say something, but heard a slight gasp in his ears.
It turned out that Li Shuquan had fallen asleep on the recliner.
At this time, Murong Su didn't dare to make a noise to disturb again, and after eating all the dishes on the table, he walked to the second floor, found a room casually and began to concentrate on cultivation.
But what she didn't know was that just after she went to the second floor, Li Shuquan, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a treacherous smile.
He muttered softly in his mouth: "I didn't expect Lord Zhao's speculation to be so accurate, and it really made me meet the guy who stole the real Great General's Order here, but I don't know if the Great General's Order is really the same as what Lord Zhao said, is it the key to open the legendary treasure house?" ”
"Forget it."
Shaking his head, Li Shuquan didn't dare to think about it anymore, after all, he was just a subordinate who obeyed orders, if he dared to covet that piece of general order, he would be in a different place in the next second.
This tavern is surrounded by people from Dongchang Jinyiwei.
If he was a little careless, he couldn't even wash away his suspicion even if he jumped into the sea.
So after waiting for a while, after sensing that Murong Su upstairs had completely fallen asleep, Li Shuquan walked up to the second floor with a sharp knife.
The next day.
Li Shuquan left the tavern, and the person who replaced the tavern became another person.
And it wasn't long after.
The murder of the envoy that shocked the entire Great Xia Dynasty was solved, and General Wang was released, but the general token in his hand was replaced with another piece.
Wang Tianniu didn't feel strange, but left with the new general stand.
And the original general token was handed over to Zhao Tianlun by Yu Jiangyue and sent to an unknown place.
Zhao Tianlun only knew that he had heard Yu Jiangyue say that the treasure house was about to be opened, and this piece of the general's order was the last piece of the puzzle.
But he was just a eunuch, and he had no power or the courage to dare to suspect the emperor's thoughts.
So he could only follow Yu Jiangyue's instructions to send the general's order to the designated place, and then get out and leave, without staying for a moment.
