Chapter 250: Fighting Wits and Courage (Part II)

"Sister Jing, aren't you joking?" Zhao Zichuan saw that Lu Jing actually agreed to Dou Deyong's conditions, and couldn't help but be a little worried, "I know that you are smart, but this is also ...... Don't touch the cups and tea on the table, trying to find out the poisonous one, this ...... It's impossible......"

"But eighteen years ago, Miss Wang did it like this......" Lu Jing said softly with serious eyes at this time, "What Miss Wang can do, I Lu Jing can also do!" Lu Jing's words were very firm.

"Jing'er ......" Looking at Lu Jing's rare firm vision, Tang Zhan said silently.

Dou Deyong looked at Lu Jing and accepted the challenge without hesitation, smiled and said: "Hmph, I have courage, I do have a bit of the taste of Miss Wang, this is the person I Dou Deyong is worthy of appreciation-but...... After all, I also want to see, Miss Lu, how do you find that poisonous cup of tea......"

Lu Jing closed her eyes and thought for a while, then asked with a smile: "I didn't expect that the small 'Tang Ying Hui' located in the alpine snow field actually has the poison of long-lasting cold and cold, it seems that Dou Gang Master, you also have a lot of opinions about this poison......

Dou Deyong listened, and echoed: "What's so difficult about this? Although this Wild Wolf Mountain is not a good and famous mountain in the Central Plains, the high and low roads are very tortuous and complicated, and the environment in each region is also strange, what kind of poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds can't grow?"

After hearing this, Lu Jing seemed to understand something, and the corners of her mouth smiled slightly. Immediately, Lu Jing looked up at the skylight directly above the eight cups of tea, as if she was thinking about something......

"Have you thought about it, Miss Lu?" Dou Deyong asked again. "Back then, Miss Wang guessed the poisonous cup of tea in a very short time, did Miss Lu think she was poor and helpless?"

Lu Jing did not respond positively to Dou Deyong's words, but looked at the skylight alone and thought quietly. Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan next to him were very anxious. They know Lu Jing's intelligence very well in their hearts, but this time I'm afraid that no matter how smart Lu Jing is, she has no good way to do it because of her shallow medical knowledge.

"Jingmei usually doesn't delve into the knowledge of medicine and poisons, and she can't touch the tea on the table, how can this problem be solved?" Zhao Zichuan asked anxiously.

Tang Zhan had no choice, but he said to himself: "It would be nice if Brother Huang Ji or Miss Su were here who are familiar with this aspect......"

"They can't ...... when they come," Zhao Zichuan continued, "The two of them are indeed very familiar with this knowledge. But you can't touch the tea on the table, this is simply a heavenly hurdle, I really don't know how Miss Wang solved this problem eighteen years ago......"

Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan were worried for a long time in the back. Lu Jing, who had been looking at the skylight in front, was not anxious at all, and seemed to be very confident.

"How about it, Miss Lu, it's almost time......" Dou Deyong continued to smile and pressurize.

Lu Jing thought for a while. Then he chuckled softly. Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan heard Lu Jing's laughter. Zhilu said that she must have thought of something, but she didn't know whether to be happy or more worried.

Dou Deyong suddenly laughed when he saw Lu Jing, so he asked, "What are you laughing at, have you already found a way?"

"I've found a way a long time ago, I'm just thinking about something else......" Lu Jing responded with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Dou Deyong and Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan behind Lu Jing were taken aback. Dou Deyong froze, and although he felt some oppression in Lu Jing's words, he still straightened up and asked, "Oh, Miss Lu, do you have anything else to think about?"

Lu Jing glanced at Dou Deyong. Then he said: "Saying that Miss Wang eighteen years ago was talented, that was determined by your ancestor Dou Gang Master. The former gang leader was righteous and kept his promises. Miss Wang also saw this and made a bet with him. The people standing under this hall now are me and you, Dou Gang Master, and you want to measure my courage and test me with the questions of the past. But from my point of view, like Miss Wang eighteen years ago, what can I do to convince you of your personality and courage?"

These words are not simple, Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan listened to it in the back, and they were even more nervous.

"Hey, dead girl, why did you deliberately anger that person surnamed Dou, and didn't want to get out alive?" Zhao Zichuan muttered anxiously, looking at Lu Jing in front of him with anxious eyes.

Sure enough, when Dou Deyong heard Lu Jing's words, his heart was on fire, and he couldn't wait to rush up and chop Lu Jing into meat sauce and feed it to the wolves. However, Dou Deyong still held back, he just looked at Lu Jing with resentful eyes, and then said tightly: "Okay, few people dare to talk to this gang leader in front of this gang leader like this." You say I don't convince you...... Hmph, it's kind of you-you better find out the poisonous tea in front of you first, prove yourself, and then come and ask the leader of the gang!" Dou Deyong threw out this sentence loudly after being the most embarrassed, it seems that Lu Jing's words just now really made Dou Deyong angry.

Lu Jing didn't care, it seemed that this was the result she wanted from the beginning. Lu Jing paused, and then said, "Okay, since Dou Gang Leader doesn't believe it, then the little woman will find that cup of poisoned tea——"

After Lu Jing finished speaking, everyone present, including Tang Zhan, Zhao Zichuan and Dou Deyong, focused their eyes on Lu Jing, wanting to see how Lu Jing could find the only cup of poisoned tea without touching the teacups and tea on the table.

Lu Jing's eyes were certain, and then he pulled out a few thin metal needles and other things like hidden weapons from his waist. With the hidden weapon in hand, Lu Jing shot the hidden weapon directly at the skylight above the teacup with her backhand.

There was also a little snow on the skylight due to the heavy snowfall. Lu Jing's hidden weapon flew above the skylight, shaking down a little snow, and what was jaw-dropping was that the snow that fell fell impartially fell in every cup of tea, it seems that Lu Jing's secret weapon kung fu is indeed good.

Everyone hadn't seen what Lu Jing wanted to do this clearly, and even Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan, who had always understood Lu Jing's habits, couldn't see the clues. And Dou Deyong on the other side seemed to feel something, and his eyes wrinkled slightly......

"Sister Jing, what are you doing here?" Zhao Zichuan, who didn't understand behind him, couldn't help asking.

Lu Jing did not answer immediately. It seems that the steps are not completed. Sure enough, Lu Jing continued to pull out the thin needle, and it flew out like a hidden weapon. The direction is directed to the snow on each teacup. Since the tea was hot at first, it continued to fall into the tea and quickly melted. And Lu Jing's fine needle shot at the snow in the tea cup, and a lot of lumpy snow scattered directly in the water.

"What are you trying to do...... Tang Zhan also muttered with a puzzled face.

Dou Deyong didn't speak on the other side, just quietly watched Lu Jing's every move.

After Lu Jing finished shooting this round of hidden weapons, she looked up at Dou Deyong and said quietly: "The poisonous tea has been found-"

"What?" "No, it won't. ...... so quickly" "Was it so fast when Miss Wang was looking for it back then?" But it doesn't seem to be this method...... "What is this saying, why didn't I understand ......" The people next to him saw it, and soon began to discuss.

Dou Deyong was silent for a while. It seems to know some of the situation. However, he himself was a little uneasy, so he continued to ask: "Oh? Miss Lu just made these secret weapon kung fu, how can she see which cup of tea is poisonous?"

"It's all about toxicity—" Lu Jing said simply and clearly.

"What kind of toxicity, Sister Jing, what do you know about it?" Zhao Zichuan, who had been confused, asked again.

"Toxicity?" Dou Deyong also asked a little nervously.

"That's right......" Lu Jing replied with a nod. "Gang Master Dou, didn't you just say that. The terrain on this wild wolf mountain is complex, which is suitable for the growth of many poisonous flowers and poisonous plants...... Yesterday it snowed heavily, and the 'Tang Ying Hui' was in a high position, and most of the poisons it had passed were long-standing cold poisons, and the cold was difficult to retreat......"

"So what?" Dou Deyong asked again.

Lu Jing continued to say confidently: "Just now, the little woman tried her hand and knocked the snow on the eaves into the hot water of the teacup. As a general rule, snow will melt faster when it encounters hot water. But if there is tea in it, the cold poison of the mountains is added. The effect of long-lasting cold durability will reduce the snow melting speed to the slowest level. So in these eight cups of tea. The cup that melts the snow obviously the slowest is the one that is poisonous—"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Jing took out another thin needle and flew directly to the third cup of tea on the table. I only heard the crisp sound of "ding-", and the thin needle hit the teacup, and the teacup was directly knocked under the table. The snow in the cup still hasn't changed much, rolling out of the teacup - Lu Jing is right, this cup of tea is the poisonous one......

The scene was silent for a long time, and it seemed that he was still surprised by Lu Jing's behavior and reasoning...... After a while, the whole hall quickly became noisy, and whether it was the people on the side of the "Hall of Heroes" or not, they gradually admired Lu Jinglai standing in the center of the hall.

"It's quite reasonable......" "It seems that this Miss Lu is not only pretty, but also has extraordinary intelligence......" "If Miss Wang was still alive eighteen years ago, try to compete with Miss Lu, I really don't know who is higher and who is lower...... The people next to him whispered again.

"Helper, look at this ......" Lao Jiu, a staff officer beside Dou Deyong, saw it, and he didn't know how to report to Dou Deyong.

Dou Deyong was silent for a while, looked at the teacup that had fallen to the ground, endured a few breaths, and then looked at Lu Jing with his eyes, and said slowly: "Miss Lu, did you guess right...... Your methods and reasoning are very interesting and reasonable, it seems that I Dou underestimated you. Okay, I admit it, you are indeed the same as Miss Wang, you have extraordinary courage and intelligence, I will take back what I just said......" After speaking, Dou Deyong turned around, and he was angry in his heart, and he wanted to try to calm himself down, and then find an opportunity to "retaliate" against Lu Jing.

However, Lu Jing didn't seem to want to give Dou Deyong a breather, and then kept saying, "Have you forgotten what the little girl just said?"

Dou Deyong was still thinking about his own question, and when he heard Lu Jing's question, he turned his head and asked, "Miss Lu, what did you say just now?"

Lu Jing continued to smile and said: "The little woman just said, since the little woman tried her hand in front of the Dou Gang Leader and proved her ability, then Dou Gang Leader, do you also have to show some skills, so that the little woman can also convince the Dou Gang Leader of your courage?"

"Do you want me to accept your challenge?" Dou Deyong seemed to guess what Lu Jing meant, and then gritted his teeth and asked.

"What, Dou Gang Leader, don't you dare?" Lu Jing continued to "unforgively", "When Miss Wang came to your gang eighteen years ago, the previous gang leader was convinced and willing to accept it. Now that I have emulated Miss Wang eighteen years ago, as the son of your former helper, will you not dare to accept the challenge of the little girl today, eighteen years later?"

This sentence is about Dou Deyong's sore spot, originally Lu Jing successfully solved the problem, and he was considered to have no steps to go down, but now Lu Jing said this, and some pushed Dou Deyong to the edge of the cliff in front of everyone.

"Hey, are you still finished?" Zhao Zichuan said anxiously, "Just solve the puzzle now, why bother making trouble again?"

Lu Jing didn't have any expression, but responded softly: "I said it, I finally came to the 'Tangying Meeting', I must find out the truth about Miss Wang and Wangjia Village eighteen years ago." And if you want to know the truth of the Dao, there is no other way than to bet with the leader of the 'Tang Ying Club'......"

Dou Deyong looked at Lu Jing on the opposite side for a while, and seeing Lu Jing's determined eyes, Dou Deyong couldn't help but feel that he, the leader of the dignified "Tang Ying Club", was not as strong as the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in front of him in terms of momentum at this time.

But as the leader of the gang, he must not lose face in front of his brothers and his dead father, thinking that after all, this is his own territory, Dou Deyong still pretended to be bold and said: "Miss Lu, you are not small, dare to make a war in front of me...... Okay, you have the guts, I admire you, just see what you can do to the problem that stumps the leader......"

Dou Deyong obviously agreed, Lu Jing smiled lightly, and then said: "It's still the same question just now, find out the poisonous cup from the teacup on the table......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised. Dou Deyong also said with confusion and nervousness: "Didn't you already find that cup, Miss Lu, just now, what else are you looking for?"

"Do you think you're the only one who will poison you?" Lu Jing asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Dou Deyong couldn't help but be a little nervous when he heard Lu Jing's inexplicable words.

"Dou Gang Master, you also said just now, the terrain on Wild Wolf Mountain is complicated, and there are different kinds of poisonous flowers and poisonous herbs in each area...... Lu Jing continued, "The little girl first came up the mountain, and she knew some poisonous herb anthers, so she picked them up at the foot of the mountain and used them to refine one or two...... When I used a thin needle to examine the poisoned tea on the table just now, one of them was a poison needle contaminated with the poison that the little woman had refined, and it happened to be mixed into the remaining seven cups of tea on the table...... Now the little woman in turn asks Dou to help you, you must find the poisonous cup before the snow left in the remaining seven cups of tea melts completely, and also without touching the teacups. If you can find the poisonous cup within the specified time, then the little woman will also admit that Dou Gang Leader has the courage to ......"

After Lu Jing finished speaking, the other people of the "Tangying Club" were a little unconvinced, they couldn't believe that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old yellow-haired girl actually pressed the dignified "Tangying Club" gang leader to no dignity. Dou Deyong's Dou gang leader also accepted the challenge just now, if he couldn't successfully find the poisonous cup of tea like Lu Jing accepted his challenge just now, then Dou Deyong's face of helping might be lost in front of everyone......

"No, this girl actually ...... just now" Dou Deyong looked at the teacup on the table, and then looked at Lu Jing, who was full of confidence in front of him, and said nervously, "I see, in fact, she has long known the way to find out the poisonous tea, and when she looked at the skylight just now, she was just thinking about how to deal with me, this girl...... This girl is even more ...... than Miss Wang eighteen years ago."

Dou Deyong was anxious, it was a heavy snow and cold day at this time, but Dou Deyong looked at the tea on the table, but layers of sweat appeared on his head - in front of Lu Jing, Dou Deyong felt a sense of oppression that he had never felt before......

And Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan couldn't help but be surprised and admired after watching Lu Jing's performance behind Lu Jing, sure enough, Lu Jing was still very smart and had a lot of ghost ideas, and this time he directly "subdued" the helper of a "Tang Ying Association" so much that he couldn't speak.

"Sister Jing, when did you ......" Zhao Zichuan looked at Lu Jing in shock, and his heart had long since lost his disdain for Lu Jing on weekdays, but secretly admired.

Lu Jing didn't care much, she smiled and looked at the anxious Dou Deyong opposite with confidence, waiting for the answer Dou Deyong gave...... (To be continued......)
