Chapter 214: Involvement

The blue furoshiki was stained with a little blood.

Zhao Rang did not dislike it, and slowly opened it in front of everyone to verify the contents inside.

The silver in the baggage was both large silver bills, and the speed with which the beautiful woman struck out, the robbers had not had time to dispose of them, so they were all saved.

I didn't even have time to spend the money, let alone other things, and I kept it safe.

Zhao Rang kept looking at the bottom, until he saw the token, and then he was completely relieved.

"Childe, is the thing okay?"

The beautiful woman leaned over, stared at the burden in Zhao Rang's hand and asked.

Zhao Rang flipped his wrist, shook off the open baggage skin again, just covered the token of the Investigation Division, and replied:

"Everything is available, thank you ma'am!"

Of course, the beautiful woman could see the skills in Zhao Rang's hand just now, but she didn't break it, but showed a sweet smile and said:

"Where do your own people say thank you? As for how to deal with these people, please give Childe an idea! โ€

Zhao Rang's gaze swept over the bandits again.

Everyone was already frightened, and they didn't dare to look at them at all.

Sighing, Zhao Rang looked at the beautiful woman again and said:

"It's all Madame's people, or Madame decides for herself!"

With that, he raised the burden in his hand, turned around and prepared to leave the dilapidated courtyard.

The beautiful woman was stunned when she heard this, and then her face turned cloudy......

After a while, after all, he couldn't help but shout at Zhao Rang's back:

"Stop!"

The voice has not yet completely fallen.

The four maids who came with Zhao Rang used their body methods, and all of them stood in front of him, blocking the way.

Hidden under the skirt, in addition to two slender and tight legs, there is also a long sword that reaches the knee!

In the face of such a battle, Zhao Rang had already been mentally prepared, so he didn't have any unusual emotions.

"What, Madame, is this going to force you to stay?"

Zhao Rang didn't look back, and said lightly.

The beautiful woman said with a little resentment:

"Isn't it the childe's treachery?"

After that, he waved his hand at the four maids, and when the four saw it, they immediately withdrew their swords and retreated to the side.

"How did I break my trust?"

Zhao Rang asked as he turned sideways slightly.

There is no reason to raise her voice, and the beautiful woman said slowly:

"Previously, Gongzi made it clear that if he found this burden, it would be a concubine's name, and Gongzi would be willing to help the concubine deal with the Longfan Society. Not to mention the final result, at least it can help the concubine keep the business of this one-third of an acre of land in the dry market, yes or no? โ€

Zhao Rang nodded in acknowledgement.

And he did.

"Now, the burden is in your hands, the concubine has been found for you, and there are a lot of things inside, so the prince should sit down and discuss the next things with the concubine. Why is it so grandiose and ready to leave? โ€

Hearing this, Zhao Rang turned around completely, faced the beautiful woman, and said:

"There are some things you know in your own heart, and if I don't say anything, I'll pretend to be confused."

The beautiful woman's face moved slightly, but she still didn't let go of her mouth, and replied:

"The concubine's body is not clear, and I ask the son to explain it."

Zhao Rang took a deep breath, took the burden in his arms, and unexpectedly pulled the knife out of the sheath.

The jet-black knife looked even more bleak in the dim candlelight.

It was even more terrifying than the knee-length sword in the hands of the four maids before!

The blade slowly lifted and pointed directly at the beautiful woman's beautiful face, and the threat in it was self-evident.

Seeing this, the four maids immediately gave up their bodies to block in front of their eldest sister, wanting to use their bodies and lives to block this terrifying blade for the people behind them.

But the beautiful woman broke free from the encirclement of the four.

He pressed his throat against the tip of the knife.

"Childe, what do you mean by that? Do you want to kill someone?! โ€

There was no panic in the beautiful woman's tone, and there was even a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Zhao Rang's face sank, and his wrist was slightly forced, and he handed the blade forward a few more points.

The red blood immediately flowed down the white neck of the beautiful woman.

Even so, the beautiful woman remained unmoved, and she didn't even blink her eyes.

"I'll say it one last time, get out of the way."

Zhao Rang's voice was as cold as a piece of ice.

The beautiful woman was still unmoved, just stared at Zhao Rang's eyes with those seductive eyes, and said word by word:

"Childe, is this planning to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

Zhao Rang finally lost his patience, and with a flick of his wrist, he was ready to shake a knife to make him free and leave by himself.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

I saw that the beautiful woman suddenly stretched out two fingers, gently pinched Zhao Rang's blade, and then broke it hard!

There was a crisp sound of "click", and the long knife in Zhao Rang's hand was actually broken by the beautiful woman!

This change came too quickly and suddenly, and Rao is Zhao Rang couldn't withdraw his hand in time no matter how fast he reacted.

The broken blade slashed across the beautiful woman's cheek, bringing up a bead of blood.

However, the beautiful woman didn't even look at the wound on her face as if she was fine, she just gently rubbed Zhao Rang's cheeks with her blood-stained fingers, and said in a flattering voice:

"The son's heart is really ruthless, it's just a burden, how can he be willing to let the concubine shed so much blood?"

Zhao Rang only felt a burst of creepy.

This woman is a monster!

He didn't dare to linger any longer, and with a little ground under his feet, he prepared to leap backwards.

However, as soon as his body moved, he felt a strong feeling of dizziness hit him.

It turned out that the beautiful woman took advantage of his unpreparedness and plunged the broken blade in her hand into the back of his heart!

"Poofโ€”"

Zhao Rang spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell down softly as if he had been drained of his strength.

Before he lost consciousness, he vaguely saw that the beautiful woman was giving him a smug and eerie smile......

When Zhao Rang woke up again, it was already dawn.

Zhao Rang slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying in a strange room, surrounded by a rather elegant arrangement, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

He touched his chest and found that his shirt was intact and there were no wounds.

Just as he was suspicious, he heard a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Then the door was gently pushed open, and a maid walked in with a bowl of medicine.

Seeing Zhao Rang wake up, she had a look of surprise on her face:

"You're awake! Come and drink the medicine, the doctor said that you are highly poisoned and need to be well recuperated. โ€

Poisoning?

Zhao Rang's heart moved.

The strange feeling when facing those Shu Tang family members on Baihe Mountain came to my heart again.

"What is this place? Why am I here? โ€

The maid patiently explained:

"This is our lady's courtyard, you were poisoned last night and fainted in front of the Drunken Sea Pavilion, it was our lady who rescued you back."

Zhao Rang frowned, he remembered that he was obviously with that beautiful woman last night, how could he be poisoned? There must be something strange about this.

Secretly vigilant in his heart, he decided to probe the girl's tone first:

"Do you know how I got poisoned?"

The maid hesitated for a moment before whispering:

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard Madame complain that Childe doesn't seem to be drinking alone in the city, so it is estimated that Childe was poisoned when you were drinking, right?"

Zhao Rang knew that he couldn't ask more from this little maid, so he decided to wait quietly to see what this beautiful woman would do next.

So he pretended to be indifferent and said to the maid:

"Please thank your lady for saving her life for me."

The maid smiled and nodded:

"Don't worry, our lady is a good person, she will definitely help you find out who poisoned her."

With that, he turned and left the room.

After a while, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door.

The beautiful woman walked in. She saw that Zhao Rang had woken up, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face:

"You're finally awake."

Zhao Rang looked at the familiar face of the beautiful woman calmly, and only said three words:

"Where's my knife?"

The most terrifying memory of his last night was not that he was seriously injured and fell to the ground, but that the black steel knife was broken by this beautiful woman with the power of two fingers.

The beautiful woman smiled calmly.

got up and opened the drawer of the bedside table, pointed inside, and motioned for Zhao Rang to look.

Zhao Rang turned sideways, looked at the drawer, and found that his black steel knife was lying in it intact, and Deng Shi felt even more puzzled.

"Do you know what kind of poison you have?"

Zhao Rang shook his head and said, "This poison is really terrifying...... How can dreams become so real! โ€

"Not bad. This poison is called 'Dream Scattering'. โ€

The beautiful woman explained.

"All your memories of last night are actually the effects of poison."

Zhao Rang's mind was still a little spinning at the moment, so he could only rub his temples on both sides with his hands, endure the discomfort, and asked:

"And what is my real memory of last night?"

The beautiful woman smiled and did not answer Zhao Rang's question directly, but said:

"In the future, when you go to a strange place alone, don't drink without scruples!"

After that, the beautiful woman pursed her lips and continued to Zhao Rang:

"There's the bathroom over there, and the hot water has been put out. If you take a hot shower, you will feel much more relaxed! โ€

Zhao Rang glanced at the bathroom door, and it was really hot inside.

Just as she was about to say thanks, the beautiful woman had already pushed the door and left.

Zhao Rang turned over and sat up from the bed, took out the knife in the drawer, and carefully checked it to confirm that it was the black steel knife, so he dragged his heavy steps and walked into the bathroom.

The bath is surrounded by bluestone slabs.

These slabs have been washed by the river for many years before they become so flat and thick. The closer you get to the river, the more you are.

On the platform of the bath, there are two snow-white bathrobes.

There was also a plate of incense burning on the opposite side.

Zhao Rang saw the incense and stared.

Immediately, he put the black steel knife and the scabbard into the bath, picked up a string of water droplets, and extinguished the incense.

Now when he sees such an inexplicable thing, he feels that his brain hurts and his heart is blocked......

Under the steaming heat, Zhao Rang's sweat had begun to bubble out unconsciously.

Such a heat has removed a lot of discomfort from his body.

It seems that the beautiful woman is not talking nonsense.

Taking a warm bath can really help with recovery.

Without much thought, he immediately stripped naked, jumped into the bath, and wrapped himself in hot water, leaving only his head outside.

Zhao Rang lay in the bath, only to feel that the pores of his whole body were dilated, and the toxins in his body seemed to be discharged with sweat, making him feel more relaxed and comfortable than ever.

He closed his eyes and let his thoughts drift away.

But a slight ringing in his ears pulled his spirit back to the bathroom.

Zhao Rang opened his eyes suddenly, only to see the bathroom door being gently pushed open, and a graceful figure walked in.

It's that beautiful woman!

She wore a loose gauze skirt, and there was a hint of shyness on her face, like a little girl who had done something wrong, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at him.

Slowly walking to the edge of the bath, he suddenly squatted down and stretched out his slender fingers to stir gently in the bath.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhao Rang asked, looking up at the ceiling of the bathroom.

The beautiful woman seemed to be taken aback, and the movements in her hands stopped.

She raised her head and looked at Zhao Rang, and said a little timidly:

"Do you want me to wipe your back?"

Zhao Rang said lightly:

"There is a maid, and you still need your wife to do this kind of chores?"

The beautiful woman was amused by Zhao Rang's words and said:

"Madame is naturally different from a maid. Otherwise, why can't the maid be a lady? โ€

Zhao Rang turned his head, looked at the beautiful woman's eyes, and said:

"It seems that before you became a lady, you also worked as a maid!"

I thought that when these words came out, the beautiful woman would definitely change, but she still looked calm and light, and said:

"Well, no kidding. I'm here to answer your previous question. โ€

"What's the problem?"

Zhao Rang emptied his body and mind just now, and he couldn't remember what he asked before.

"You ask me what the real memory of last night is."

Zhao Rang nodded.

When he said that, he was a little impressed.

The beautiful woman did not speak at length, but told Zhao Rang very concisely that what happened before the 'Drunken Sea Pavilion' last night had happened in 1510.

It's exactly what the little maid said.

"I see, but ......"

Zhao Rang wanted to speak and stopped.

Now the discomfort in his body was completely clear, and his mind was clearer than before.

He thought of the poison in himself, although it was weird, but what was the meaning?

Let a person conjure up an extremely real illusion.

Zhao Rang didn't understand what such an effect could achieve......

"If you don't wake up, you'll act according to what you think is true in your hallucination."

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Rang didn't understand the beautiful woman's words.

The beautiful woman had no choice but to explain in detail:

"In other words, if there is no external interference, you will only remember that I seriously injured you, then after you escape, will you come back to me for revenge?"

Zhao Rangmu nodded.

It turns out that this kind of poison makes people hallucinate is still a trivial matter...... The highlight is that you can reconstruct real memories in this way, and you can also manipulate a person's behavior in this way!

"This poison is rare, isn't it?"

After the fight on Baihe Mountain, Zhao Rang can be regarded as having a certain understanding of poison, a big killing weapon that is despised by famous and decent families and children of families in the rivers and lakes.

The more complex the effect, the scarcer the ingredients and the more difficult it is to make.

"Naturally. Dreams are scattered, and thousands of dollars are hard to find! โ€

Zhao Rang nodded.

In this case, the only person who can get this kind of poison in Zhenhai City is that Long Fanhui.

Thinking of this, Zhao Rang's memories melted into each other in an instant.

He remembered his lost baggage, and remembered the agreement with the beautiful woman about the 'name vote'.

"Your petition isn't ready yet?"

Zhao Rang asked.

After all, in last night's dream, I got the burden again, and there was nothing missing in it.

The beautiful woman got up and pushed open the bathroom window.

This window faces due east.

Not long after Dongfang revealed the white of the fish's belly, Zhenhai City had barely woken up on this day.

According to yesterday's agreement, the beautiful woman still has a whole day, six hours, so she is not in a hurry.

"The nomination certificate is ready, just waiting for you to inspect the goods."

The beautiful woman's voice drifted into Zhao Rang's ears with the morning breeze.

"Where?"

Zhao Rang stood up from the bath, stepped over the edge of the bluestone slab, and took the robe that was draped on the side.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to see it when you have breakfast first."

The beautiful woman's tone was always unhurried, as if everything was under her control.

Zhao Rang didn't say anything more, just silently got dressed and walked out of the bathroom behind the beautiful woman.

When I came to the outer room, a hearty breakfast was already on the table.

Zhao Rang was not polite, sat down and began to feast.

He was indeed hungry.

Coupled with the fact that the toxins of 'Dream Powder' have just been resolved, the body is exactly the time to replenish it.

The beautiful woman sat opposite Zhao Rang, holding her chin and watching him eat.

Her gaze was soft and deep, as if she could see through the depths of Zhao Rang's heart.

Zhao Rang was a little uncomfortable, so he had to raise his head and say to the beautiful woman:

"Don't you eat? What are you watching me do? โ€

The beautiful woman smiled and said:

"You look so good when you eat."

Zhao Rang was so choked by these words that he almost choked.

He coughed twice before he regained his strength, looked at the beautiful woman and said:

"Madame's better to speak normally."

The beautiful woman covered her mouth and chuckled, no longer teasing Zhao Rang, and turned to business:

"I've already asked those four sisters to put them in the Drunken Sea Pavilion."

Zhao Rang looked at the beautiful woman with some surprise:

"Drunken Sea Pavilion? That's not where I'm poisoned? โ€

The beautiful woman nodded and said:

"That's right. There it is. โ€

Zhao Rang put down his chopsticks and looked at the beautiful woman and said:

"It seems that Madame has other arrangements?"

The beautiful woman explained:

"Drunken Sea Pavilion is the territory of the Dragon Fan Society, but they are not yet to the point where they can control everything in Zhenhai City. Besides, didn't we say that we would deal with Long Fan together? It's a good time to take this opportunity to explore their reality. โ€

Zhao Rang pondered for a moment, nodded and said:

"Good. As long as the lady goes with her, there is no opinion on the following. โ€

With that, he put down his chopsticks, stood up, and walked out.

"Childe, slow down!"

Seeing this, the beautiful woman hurriedly followed.

The two of them left this courtyard one after the other and headed in the direction of the Drunken Sea Pavilion.

At this time, the sky was already bright, but Zhao Rang found that the atmosphere on the street today seemed to be a little wrong.

He looked around and saw that the doors of the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and there was not even a single figure in sight.

"What's going on? Why is the street so deserted today? โ€

Zhao Rang couldn't help but ask.

The beautiful woman walked in front and said without looking back:

"Because today is the regular 'street patrol day' of the Dragon Sail Club. My annex is actually under the jurisdiction of the water city, and it is now also the territory of the Dragon Sail Society. โ€
