In the spacious bedroom, the walls are decorated with unique decorations, the tables, chairs and cabinets are all with the characteristics of Hengjiang, the gold-plated stove in the middle, the burning spices exude a faint Buddha fragrance, and a few bouquets of dried flowers are inserted in a Yixing vase in the corner. It's just that the light is a little dim.

Through the carved and hollow window, you can faintly see the figure of the guard with a weapon walking back and forth, and on a soft collapse next to the wall, there is a person lying quietly, his skin is ulcerated, and he is unconscious, it is the person who has been poisoned for a long time.

Lu Shiqing was sitting in front of the table not far away, fiddling with all kinds of powdered medicines, and the table was full of large and small containers, as well as delicate small rod scales, spoons, and washi paper packets.

At this time, there was an inaudible sigh in his ears, Lu Shiqing didn't seem to be affected, he had been buried in front of the case for a long time, and continued to move in his hands, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Awake?"

The person lying on the bed opened his eyes and looked around, then closed his eyes again, breathing with a hint of loss, "You saved me?" said, frowning, it seemed that every time he moved, he would pull the tumor on his face and send out a burst of pain.

"Sort of!" Lu Shiqing sighed, "Actually, I was also the one who relieved your pain at the 'invitation' of your master, and I am the one who loves to wear masks on weekdays." ”

"You mean... Cold?"

"Leng Wuhei?" Lu Shiqing muttered in a low voice, "Strange name, I thought he was faceless and nameless!"

"It's just his pseudonym. The man turned his face sideways, "Who the hell are you, and was he sent to spy on me?"

Lu Shiqing's movements in his hands paused slightly, then he stood up and walked to the side of the bed, with his hands behind his back, and looked at the man with a smile, "I said that you are really strange! When you wake up, not only do you not thank me for saving my life, but ask me questions." Leaning down, staring at his face tightly, the corners of his mouth pursed with a hint of teasing, "It seems that this toxin has invaded not only your face, but also your head." ”

"You!" the man excitedly tried to make some drastic movements, but found that his hands and feet were bound to the bed with strips of cotton cloth, and he could only move his body in a small area.

Lu Shiqing straightened up, took half a step back, and said slowly, "Don't get excited, otherwise, the toxins in your body will spread again, won't it be in vain for me to work hard?"

The man's face was a little frightened and distorted, and he writhed hard, and roared resentfully, "Do you think that if you save me, I will be grateful to you? Haha! It's ridiculous! You just let me suffer for a few more days so that I can continue to be your drug tester, how is it different from the executioner?!"

Lu Shiqing looked at him with a smile, his eyes gradually deepened, "You are a very interesting person." Then he silently read in his heart: It seems that this risk is really not in vain.

The man twisted his neck, and when he saw the bottles and cans on the table, as if stimulated, he twisted his body violently, causing the bed frame to rattle slightly.

"What's on the table? Is it poison again? If you have the ability, give me a stab!

Lu Shiqing leaned down against the side of the bed again, looked playfully at his face, which was even more terrifying because of excitement, and said faintly, "As long as you are obedient, I promise that you will not be embarrassed." As he spoke, he slowed down and said, word by word, "You know what? Whether you are in pain or not is all in my thoughts." ”

The man was frightened of the feeling of being tortured, and instantly quieted down, seemed to have changed his personality, and asked in a trembling voice, "What the hell are you going to do?"

Lu Shiqing seemed to be smiling, and said in a low voice, "I only need you to answer me a few questions, as long as your answers satisfy me, not only will I not let you suffer anymore, maybe I will cure you!"

The man seemed to see hope, and his eyes were full of anticipation, "What's the problem?"

"What's your name?"

"My name is Shi Xi, and I was originally a small soldier under Shi Yixiong, the general of Zhenguan. ”

"Shi Yixiong?" Lu Shiqing has heard of this person, this person is the general of Zhenguan, when the Chi State invaded the border, it was he who led the army to fight, Shi Yixiong's team is brave and good at fighting, can be one as ten, each is a good hand on the battlefield, even the soldiers in charge of food, the work is not a problem.

Later, Chi Guo retreated, black and white poison caused chaos in the rivers and lakes, the general of Zhenguan suddenly died violently, the cause of death is unknown, the government and the opposition were unstable at that time, and the emperor did not investigate the matter in detail, and finally it was over.

Lu Shiqing shook his head helplessly and sighed, "General Shi Yixiong is brave and good at fighting, and everyone in the government and the opposition knows about it. It's just that he suddenly died suddenly, which is a pity. ”

"After the general's violent death, our team was also scattered, some joined the troops elsewhere, and some went home to farm on their own. And I, I have always felt that the cause of the general's death is different, so I have been staying in Mozhou, trying to find the truth, but there are no clues. ”

Lu Shiqing chuckled, "You are just a pawn under him, why are you so concerned about him?"

"The general is kind to me...... Ahem!" Xu said too much, Shi Xi couldn't help coughing a few times, Lu Shiqing poured a glass of water and fed him to drink, the water poured into his throat, and he felt a lot more refreshed, Shi Xi continued, "When I was about to starve to death on the side of the road, it was the general who took me in, because I was weak and had no ability, so I was left in his army to do idle work, serving tea and pouring water every day, cleaning and sweeping work. ”

At this time, there seemed to be a figure shaking outside, Lu Shiqing frowned, and his voice was deliberately louder, "If you want to survive, don't struggle, listen to me." As he spoke, he looked straight outside.

Shi Xi also followed the direction of his eyes, and said, "Bastards! you are all bastards!"

After two breaths, the door was pushed open, and Ashqi entered with two subordinates, one of whom was holding the package that Lu Shiqing said, Ashqi rubbed his nose and looked at Lu Shiqing sympathetically, "Oh! I really wronged you! I want to stay with the person who is about to die, this is what you want, I will bring it back for you." As he spoke, waving his hand, the subordinate brutally threw the package to Lu Shiqing.

Lu Shiqing glanced at Ashqi with disdain, only lowered his head and fiddled with the package in his hand, and sometimes looked at the person lying on the bed, "This person is very interesting, very good." ”

Ashqi looked around, clasped his hands in front of him, and said proudly, "What about your two retinues?"

"Hey... I'll correct you, those two are my family, not any retinue. I'll let them help me out, and I'm going to have to go in and out, and you're still sending people to follow me! Why? No one reports to you?"

Ash stared at Lu Shiqing, and couldn't find anything wrong for a while, Lu Shiqing sat back in front of the case, and continued to fiddle with all kinds of medicinal powders, "Unrelated personnel, stand back for the time being! In case I am distracted and do not grasp the dosage of medicine and make a mistake, be careful of your master. ”

Ash was furious, "Then you should deal with the poison properly! If something goes wrong, be careful of your life!" With that, he flicked his sleeves and turned away with his entourage.

The room fell silent again, and Shi Xi on the bed struggled to move his body, his voice trembling a little with excitement, "He is a demon, I have seen him kill people with my own eyes, and his methods are extremely cruel." That's just a kid. ”

Stony Brook painfully recalled that when he was first captured that day, in order to bring him to his knees, the black cloak in the mask had Ashqi feed poison to a little girl of seven or eight years old in front of him, and it was not long before the little girl bled and died of convulsions.

Lu Shiqing smiled unmindfully, "I'm not even afraid of people, am I still afraid of these evil ghosts?" he said, looking at Shixi, "You better think about yourself!"

"What?" Stony Brook was a little puzzled, "Aren't you going to ask?"

Lu Shiqing silently didn't speak, Shi Xi's eyes widened, "Are you just using the excuse that you can cure the poison on my body to coax me to say those words?" ”

"Don't get so excited, we're just taking what we need. ”
