Chapter 331: In Danger

Just when Zhao Yao felt that he was about to starve to death, someone finally brought food.

The person who delivered the meal was dressed in a night suit, and his whole face was tightly wrapped, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and his face could not be seen at all.

The man in black didn't walk into the secret room where Zhao Yao and the others were at all, just stood at the door, pushed the food box containing the food in it, and then quickly closed the door. If it weren't for Zhao Yao's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have seen the man in black standing at the door.

Zhao Yao's face was full of astonishment: Is it so rigorous, he actually wears night clothes when delivering a meal, and wraps himself tightly. Also, he stood at the door and didn't come in.

He had planned to take a closer look at the person who delivered the food, and then roughly guess the identity of the person who captured him. I didn't expect the other party to be so cautious, even the person who delivered the meal had to wrap it tightly. However, why should the other party be so careful?

The other party intends to sell them, and in his eyes, they are goods. Generally speaking, there is no need to be so precautionary when dealing with goods. Unless...... Zhao Yao thought of a possibility, and he looked at the other person in the secret room.

The man sat at the table all the time, not only did he not say a word, but he did not even give him a look.

Zhao Yao looked at this person seriously, his appearance and bearing were very good, and his background must be either rich or noble. Judging from the vigilant attitude of the person who arrested them, the identity of this person is probably not simple, and it is very likely that he is a child of a certain family in Jinling City or Suzhou Mansion.

If it was as he guessed, then he could be sure that the person who captured them was a certain family in Jinling City or Suzhou Mansion. This man is the opponent of their captors.

Zhao Yao kept staring at the other party, and the other party didn't want to deal with him, but his gaze was too strong, so that the other party had to raise his eyes to look at him.

Although the other party's eyes looked at him very calmly, Zhao Yao felt a cold chill. This man's eyes really look like snakes.

Zhao Yao stared at the other party straightly, originally thinking that the other party could speak, but he didn't expect the other party to say a word.

The other party looked at Zhao Yao for a while, and when he saw that he was not frightened by his eyes, a touch of surprise crossed his eyes, and then he withdrew his eyes and stopped looking at Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately walked to the door and picked up the food box. Smelling the fragrance emanating from the food box, Zhao Yao's stomach cramped. He didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly put the food box on the table, and when he opened the food box, he found that the dishes inside were still hot.

Two dishes, one soup, two large bowls of rice, and a plate of steamed buns.

Zhao Yao was surprised in his heart: Is it so rich?

He thought that he would only send them a few hard steamed buns or gruel, but he didn't expect that there were actually two dishes, and there was also meat. Such a good treatment is really surprising.

Entertain them with delicious food and drink, and it seems that they are really going to sell them to nobles with great status.

Zhao Yao glanced at the person sitting opposite, hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Do you want to eat?" "If he doesn't eat it, he's going to eat everything. He was now hungry enough to eat a cow, and that wasn't enough to fill his stomach.

The other party glanced at him, then reached out and picked up another bowl of rice, picked up the chopsticks and ate it.

Zhao Yao thought that he wouldn't eat it, but he didn't expect the other party to eat it without any hesitation. It seems that this man is just as starving to death as he is.

Although Zhao Yao and the two of them were very hungry, they did not gobble up food. The more hungry you are, the more you should chew slowly so that you don't hurt your stomach.

While eating, Zhao Yao was thinking about what to do next. Their captors were so thoughtful that they not only prevented the food deliverers from showing their faces, but also drugged their food.

When he ate the first bite of food, Zhao Yao noticed that there was medicine inside. Even if he was poisoned, he still had to eat it, or he would really starve to death.

After eating, Zhao Yao felt that his limbs were a little weak, and his body became weak, and he had no strength.

It's not a drug, it's a poison similar to soft tendons. This poison doesn't kill people, but it does make people feel powerless.

They were well fed, but they did not have the strength to escape, and when the time came, they could only be sold obediently. However, their captors did not calculate that his physique was quite special, and the poison similar to the soft tendons had no effect on him.

A few years ago, on King Wei's adult birthday, Zhao Yao gave him a perfect tonic pill. This pill can not only replenish the weak body of King Wei, but also relieve the medicinal properties of all poisons. Zhao Yao saw that the effect of the Ten Perfection Tonic Pills was so good, and wanted to buy a few more to give to King Wei, but the Miao Jiang doctor died due to an accident. However, later Liang Run got a few good pills from Miao Jiang.

This medicine does not have the effect of tonifying the body like the Ten Perfection Pills, but only has the effect of relieving poison. Zhao Yao named it the Antidote Pill. Eating this antidote pill did not cause any harm to his body, so he ate it.

Speaking of antidote pills, Zhao Yao gave one to King Chu before. The Ten Perfection Tonic Pills that were given to King Wei before had the effect of detoxification pills, but Zhao Yao did not send the antidote pills to King Wei again.

At that time, when Zhao Yao gave the King of Chu the antidote pill, the King of Chu did not hesitate and immediately ate it. The King of Chu, like the King of Wei, trusted Zhao Yao very much and never doubted his intentions.

Zhao Yao sent the antidote pill to the King of Chu because he was worried that he would be poisoned. The crown prince and the acting king have long regarded the king of Chu as a thorn in the flesh, and they have always wanted to get rid of him, and it is very likely that they will secretly send someone to poison the king of Chu.

Liang Run told Zhao Yao that this detoxification pill was specially refined by the poison doctor on Miaojiang's side, and the detoxification effect was very good. Although it cannot detoxify the poison, it can reduce the toxicity of the poison a lot, and it will not make the people who are deeply poisoned die immediately. If it is an ordinary poison, it can quickly remove the toxicity.

Zhao Yao was knocked unconscious and drugged before, and before he woke up, the drug properties in his body had been cleared, but his hands and feet were tied at that time, so he couldn't move.

He was very glad that he had taken the antidote pill before, otherwise he would really have become a lamb to be slaughtered by others.

Zhao Yao lay on the table, patiently waiting for the medicinal properties of the poison in his body to disappear. After a while, Zhao Yao felt that his whole body had regained his strength, and his hands and feet were no longer sore. However, he had to pretend to be poisoned, so that no one could notice his abnormality.

The person sitting opposite Zhao Yao also lay limply on the table. His face was already pale, but after being poisoned, it became even paler.

"Are you alright?" Zhao Yao's tone was very weak, as if he really didn't have any strength in his body.

The person on the other side didn't answer him, and Zhao Yao didn't ask again. He slowly stood up against the table and staggered to the bed. Walking to the bed, as if using up the strength he had left, he could no longer stand, and the whole person collapsed on the bed.

The person who had been lying on the table suddenly raised his head and glanced at Zhao Yao coldly.

Zhao Yao was lying on the bed, but his eyes were fixed on the small window above his head. Outside the window, there was a faint sound of birds chirping, discussing where to find something to eat later.

If there was no one else in the secret room, Zhao Yao would call the birds outside the window and ask them to help him deliver the news. However, now that there is another person in the secret room, he can't act rashly, let alone let the other party find out that he is not poisoned.

Zhao Yao and the other party were locked in a secret room, and it stands to reason that they should help each other and then find a way to escape together, but Zhao Yao did not do this. He doesn't know what the other party's identity is, and he won't trust the other party easily. Besides, the other party's whole body exudes an aura of "don't get close to the living", even if he wants to run away with the other party, the other party may not necessarily believe him.

Xiao Jin was arranged by him to go to the capital to find his second uncle, and he will not come back for a while. If Xiao Jin is here, he can let him go to the second uncle and them.

As it stands, we can only wait until we are taken out of this secret room to find a way to escape. Let's do it now, and recharge your batteries.

Zhao Yao put his mind at ease and fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.

The person sitting at the table saw that Zhao Yao was asleep and immediately stood up. He stood up very neatly, with no signs of poisoning at all.

He walked to the side of the bed and looked condescendingly at Zhao Yao, who was sleeping very sweetly, with a sneering smile raised at the corner of his mouth. He bent down and gently patted Zhao Yao's shoulder. After filming for a while, seeing that Zhao Yao did not react at all, and making sure that Zhao Yao really slept to death, he turned around and left the secret room.

After he left the secret room, Zhao Yao, who was originally asleep on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up, his eyes staring sharply at the door of the chamber.

This man was able to leave the secret room freely, he was not caught, but deliberately locked in! This man is coming for him!

Zhao Yao's heart sank suddenly, and his face instantly became solemn.

Who is this man and what is his purpose? Why did you come at him?

Does this man know his identity?

Wait, he wasn't caught right away, but on purpose?

Zhao Yao's eyebrows sank, thinking of the sudden fire on the two ships before, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, could it be that it was also deliberately arranged, in order to get rid of the forbidden army and catch him?

Why arrest him? He's just an unfavored prince, what's the use of catching him? Do they want to threaten their father with him?

Wait, he has a good relationship with the fourth brother, could it be that they arrested him to threaten the fourth brother?

However, the fourth brother did not have any power in Jinling or Suzhou, and he did not participate in the affairs of Jiangnan. The crown prince and the acting king want to get rid of the fourth brother, and they will not kill the fourth brother at this time. Besides, although he is not favored, he is the biological son of his father. If he died in Jiangnan, at the hands of the crown prince and the acting king, his father would definitely not spare the crown prince and the acting king.

It shouldn't be to threaten the fourth brother.

It's not the fourth brother, it's not the father, who is that for?

Starlings?

Starlings are hiding very deeply, it can't be to threaten starlings.

Zhao Yao couldn't figure out what the purpose of arresting him was even if he wanted to break his head.

originally thought that he was arrested and sold because he was good-looking, but now he found out that this was not the case, which made Zhao Yao instantly clueless.

Zhao Yao thought of the fact that Zheng Xilin had been urging him to leave Jinling City, and that his status as a prince would bring him danger, and he had a guess in his heart.

Did the third uncle know something, so he urged him to leave Jinling City.

He obviously didn't do anything, and he didn't go out of his way to investigate the affairs of Jinling City and Suzhou Mansion, why was he involved? When did he, the unfavored Ten Princes, become so important, why didn't anyone tell him?

Zhao Yao originally thought that his life would not be in danger for the time being, but now it seems that his situation is very dangerous. If he can't escape, I'm afraid he will die and return to the capital.

Although he now learned that he was in danger, Zhao Yao did not become panicked because of this, on the contrary, he was very calm. He currently has very few clues, he doesn't know where he is, he doesn't know who the other party is, and he doesn't know what the other party wants to do to him. He could only wait patiently for the other party's next move, and then find a way to escape.

At this time, the king of Wei, who was far away in the capital, learned that Zhao Yao was missing, and was very anxious, and immediately ordered the Southern Wei people in Jiangnan to find Zhao Yao.

Ask the old iron for a leave, there is a problem with the skin, it has been going back and forth, it has been serious in the past two days, the itch is so bad, I can't calm down and code words, and I have to break it for another day today. I'll resume the update when it's better tomorrow.

This article will not be a eunuch, definitely not a eunuch, when I get better, I will definitely resume the update, you don't abandon me.

Zhao Yao: Didn't you arrest me because I was good-looking?!

Author: You're really narcissistic.

In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass!
