Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 35: This is the case
"Big brother, it seems that what Mu Qing said is true. ”
Several leaders of the Iron Bone Village in the council hall and Ma Xiaoer, Lin Wen Juzuo said.
Lin Pan frowned and asked, "Did the fourth child disappear with that Cao Baiji?"
Lin Wen nodded and replied: "I sent someone to search every corner of the village, but I never found any trace of them, and then interrogated the guards at the door to make a new discovery, not long after we left, the fourth child took one person out alone."
"Bang-"
Lin Pan's broad palm slapped directly on the table, and he snorted: "Those group of wine bags and rice bags can't even look at the gate, so they didn't carefully interrogate the identity of the person behind the fourth child?"
Lin Wen explained with a wry smile: "This is also the reason why they didn't dare to tell us when we came back, because it was the fourth child who forced them to open the door." ”
"This ......"
Everyone in the Iron Bone Village looked at each other, and they all felt the coolness behind them.
Lin Zhen tortured Cao Baiqi the most ruthlessly during the interrogation, and when he thought that the other party had said that if he found an opportunity, he would not make himself feel better, and he was like sitting on pins and needles.
He hurriedly said: "Does this person really know what kind of evil arts? Otherwise, how could the fourth child obey orders? And if he can really poison that Geng Jie's eldest brother, it is very simple to poison us!"
Lin Pan was about to quench his thirst with tea, but he put it down stupidly when he heard the words.
He looked at Lin Wen and asked, "What's going on over there?"
Lin Wen understood the hint of the eldest brother, shook his head and said, "It took a lot of effort to invite him to see a doctor just now, and I don't know what the situation is now." ”
Lin Pan was about to say something, when Mu Qing's voice suddenly came from the door of the council hall: "Master Lin Zhai, can I come in and talk?"
Lin Pan hurriedly got up, welcomed Mu Qing in and sat down, and then asked worriedly, "Young Master Mu Qing, how is the situation with that person?"
Mu Qing looked at Lin Pan and Lin Wen's frightened eyes, laughed in his heart, and sighed: "The situation is not optimistic, I have never seen this kind of poison before, I can only try to delay the outbreak of that person's poison." ”
Lin Wen exclaimed: "You haven't seen this kind of poison?
When Mu Qing heard this, he immediately got up and said with a strange smile: "The kid has only studied medicine for more than ten years, but there are already more than 10 million kinds of poisons in this world, and this poison cannot be cured from the root without seeing it, is there any problem?"
Mu Qing scolded in his heart: "How can the poison that the master worked so hard to get rid of is solved, it's good that he didn't take this opportunity to kill him directly." ”
Lin Wen was shocked to realize that he was speechless, to say that Mu Qing's medical skills are indeed obvious to everyone.
He hurriedly lowered his body and apologized: "Mr. Mu Qing, please calm your anger, and if you care about it, you will be chaotic." ”
Mu Qing stood and snorted: "I have done what I promised you to do, not to carry Entu Bao below, but if the caravan under does not leave, I will dare not meet the delivery date, and I also ask the owner of the village to fulfill your promise." ”
"This ......"
Lin Pan choked and said: "Mu Qing Gongzi, you sit down and talk first, I will never break my promise to you, but now the situation is a little special, I want you to find out, and please stay for a while." ”
Mu Qing squinted at the starry eyes, and his tone was stiff: "The owner of the village, are you perfunctory to me?"
He was trying to find out the identity of Geng Jie's group, so he asked: "I have fought with many people in the forest, and I found that the group of court criminals in your mouth is not simple, all of them are good hands, I think you have already deceived me once." Why do you want to continue to deceive me? Don't say anything else, you have already saved the owner of the village twice, and you treat each other with courtesy like this?"
Lin Pan blushed, in his heart what Mu Qing said was true, he was really speechless to refute, so he had to turn his eyes to Lin Wen for help.
Lin Wen lowered his stature very low, "This matter is rude to us, and I implore Mr. Mu Qing to give him a chance to explain." ”
Mu Qing said expressionlessly: "I just want to know the identity of the person you care about now? I don't want to be involved in a strange disaster for no reason." ”
Lin Pan sighed: "You go out first." ”
At this time, Ma Xiaoer, who had been quietly on the right, spoke: "Geng Jie has not returned, no one from their side has entered the council hall, and there are some things that the lord of Lin Zhai should be cautious about." ”
Lin Pan has always complained about Vermilion Bird City in his heart, he couldn't ask for medicine at the beginning, but now he sent a hot yam, what does he want to stabilize Mu Qing for?
The qi on his body was suddenly exposed, his clothes were agitated, and there were no good words on his lips, "This is a matter between my Iron Bone Village and Mu Qing Gongzi, don't bother you Lord Hou." ”
"Humph!"
After everyone else left, only Mu Qing and the three of them were left in the council hall.
Mu Qing took the lead and said, "Master Lin Zhai, don't worry, I will try my best to save that person, so please tell everything you can say." ”
Lin Pan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The poisoned person is actually the second-tier head of His Majesty's minions 'Heavenly Hunting', and the imperial court prisoner is actually a remnant of the previous dynasty, and our Iron Bone Village was matched by someone from Suzaku City to become a participant in this matter, and I only know so much, I believe that Gongzi can also judge whether I am telling a lie or not." ”
Lin Wenwen wanted him to speak, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother was a straight person, and he would reveal all the identities of all parties in a daze.
He had no choice but to add helplessly: "Mr. Mu Qing saved my eldest brother twice, which is equivalent to saving me twice in a row, and Mr. Mu Qing directly opened his mouth if he still has any questions." ”
Mu Qing thought for a moment and asked, "It means that you have little to do with this 'Heavenly Hunting', and you are completely coerced by the forces of Vermilion Bird City?"
In and out of his words, the contradiction between Lin Pan and Ma Xiaoer's forces was infinitely magnified.
Lin Wen hurriedly explained: "It's not coercion, our Iron Bone Village has asked each other for medicine, so it can be regarded as a relationship of mutual cooperation." ”
Lin Pan was angry when he heard Lin Wen's explanation, "Second brother, in the future, we will have less contact with them, good things will not be our share, and bad things will bring us to the pit again and again." ”
He turned his head to Mu Qing, and said in a sincere tone: "That 'Heavenly Hunting' is too powerful and involves too much, my brother implores Mu Qing Gongzi to try his best to save that person, I will put my words here, as long as you cure that person, I will personally bring someone to escort your caravan." ”
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, no matter how deep he entered the play, he would not be stupid enough to really wake up the man, he pretended to be embarrassed: "It's not that I don't want to save it, it's really beyond my strength, and there are still many rare medicines." ”
He glanced at Lin Wen, "I don't know who you specifically asked for medicine, can you try it again?"
"This ......"
Lin Wen thought of Vermilion Bird City, and said in an unhappy tone: "I'm afraid it's difficult, let's tell Mr. Mu Qing the truth, the force we are asking for medicine belongs to the Vermilion Bird City City Lord's Mansion, and it's good that the other party doesn't blame us." ”
Mu Qing suddenly felt in his heart, and said with a smile: "The second master, you don't have me as a bystander, it is true that they will blame you for the disadvantage of the Iron Bone Village, but if you want to come to Vermilion Bird City, you don't dare to offend this 'Heavenly Hunting', how about I give you an idea?"
Lin Pan said with interest: "Son, say it quickly!"
Mu Qing smiled and said: "Why don't you just take the prescription I gave, find the person who threatened you just now, and bluntly say that many rare medicinal materials in it have been found in Vermilion Bird City, and let them take this hot yam!
Lin Wen stroked his beard and smiled, and said to Lin Pan: "Big brother, this matter is feasible, we are indeed blind, the Iron Bone Village is already out of the sphere of influence of Vermilion Bird City, we don't have to bow down like this." ”
He arched his hand, but he was much more pleasing to Mu Qing, "Mr. Mu Qing has helped us a lot in the Iron Bone Village, and this kind of righteousness is unforgettable." ”
Mu Qing said perfunctorily: "Where is it, it's just that after the matter is completed, please let the Iron Bone Village go as soon as possible, after all, the world is like this, and the world is panicked, all for the sake of a few taels of broken silver." ”
Lin Pan nodded, "Engong, don't worry, when the time comes, I will personally select twenty good soldiers from the village and let them escort your caravan all the way away." ”
......
In a hidden cave about five kilometers away from the Iron Bone Village.
Ning Chu handed his water bladder to Bai Jiahe and comforted: "Senior sister, don't worry too much, those companions of yours should have left, when I came to look for you, I found that the people of the 'Heavenly Hunt' and the Iron Bone Village were retreating, probably because of that Geng Jian's injury." ”
Bai Jiahe nodded and said, "I hope so, senior sister, do you know that Cao Baiqi?"
Ning Chu was puzzled: "I have been active in the Tiannan area all the year round, and I have never heard of this name, but the person who can compete with that Geng Sword is not a nameless person. ”
Xu Zuo asked on the side: "Senior sister, you should also have something to do when you come out this time, will my sister and I delay you too much." ”
Ning Chu shook his head and smiled: "As long as you don't delay things in the afternoon, I'll wait for you to get better before leaving." ”
Bai Jiahe hurriedly said: "Senior sister, the matter explained by my uncle is important, my senior brother and I are no longer in any big trouble, you can leave with confidence." ”
Ning Chu said: "I really don't need to, anyway, it's all about protecting people, and that brother of Peony is not a powerless common man, after all, it's a matter of their assassin lineage, even if there is infighting, I can't interfere too much, I can only protect secretly." ”
Bai Jiahe said curiously: "Senior Sister Peony still has an older brother, or is it an assassin?
Ning Chu pinched Bai Jiahe's fingers and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Senior Sister Jiahe is still a little gossip, in fact, there is nothing to hide, Peony and his brother are actually the Hidden Valley in the past six years of Tianzhen, Peony has entered the master's door, and his brother has entered the Hidden Valley Assassin lineage, and now he is out of his first mission, it seems that other tasks are involved, Peony is afraid that his brother will suffer, so I will go out this time." ”
Xu Zuo was more interested in these doors and ways in the Hidden Valley, "Senior sister, is it that the two missions are involved, and the Hidden Valley doesn't care about these tasks?"
I don't know what I remembered, Ning Chu's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he explained softly: "The four veins of the Hidden Valley, the great elder is in charge of the law, the second elder is in charge of the assassin, the third elder is in charge of the Quanfu, the master is the fourth elder in the pharmacist, among the four veins, the assassin is the most inhumane, never cares about cannibalism, and will not care about the contradictions that occur after the mission, and even have an encouraging attitude, the assassin line believes in only one law: survival of the fittest." The assassins they have cultivated can only become an obedient and murderous sword, but cannot have feelings, if they are not controlled, the most iron-blooded palm law will come out to kill, so the hidden valley is very scary, can talk about money and buy life, but can not talk about feelings. ”
Xu Zuo was shocked when he heard this, but Bai Jiahe immediately asked, "So, Senior Sister Peony and his brother will meet the same sect of the assassin lineage?"
Ning Chu shook his head and explained: "No, although I don't care about cannibalism between the same sect, but if it is not deliberately arranged, it is extremely difficult for two assassins from the Hidden Valley assassin lineage to meet together. Because the training of the Assassin One Pulse is one period every twelve years, there are never more than three of the hundreds of people who can survive to the end and become Assassins, and only two of Ah Liang's one issue, including him, have survived, and the trouble he will encounter this time is the other people in the rivers and lakes, and they can also take over the tasks issued by the Quanfu One Pulse. ”
"Oh oh~"
Bai Jiahe didn't know how the Hidden Valley was organized and operated, so he heard it in the clouds.
She asked, "Ah Liang, is my sister's brother called Zhang Liang?"
She heard Ning Chu mention that her junior sister's name was Zhang Shaoyao.
Ning Chu shook his head, "No, his brother is also a freak and has no surname." ”
Bai Jiahe was surprised: "Why?"
Ning Chu explained: "Ah Liang was an orphan, and when he was one to six years old, he was actually a little beggar, and he was very close to Peony during that time. ”
Bai Jiahe silently digested this information and sighed: "In the troubled times, it turns out that everyone is not having a good time, my sister and his brother are quite amazing, since they have become assassins in such a cruel elimination." ”
The corners of Ning Chu's mouth curled slightly, this world is already so absurd.
Her gaze looked out of the cave.
At this time, the unitary time has passed, the remnant sun is gradually falling, hanging on the branches of the forest, the orange-red light smudges the twilight between the mountains and forests, the world is quiet, and everything is hazy.
