Chapter II: Forced Retention
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
When the man in white took the girl to Mingcheng, the woman in the cloak left Liuyun City and went to the dense forest due to the west.
She came to Liuyun City to go to the southwest jungle of Great Qin, and she needed to collect a rare herb, Six Bamboo Leaves, for her sister.
In addition to the "big bad" she has in mind, she has only one sister, and not long ago, she was accidentally bitten by a poisonous poisonous insect.
Although she is good at using poison, she does not dare to detoxify her sister by fighting poison with poison, because she does not dare to take risks, so she can only hope for the six bamboo leaves that restrain poisonous insects.
Six bamboo leaves, not bamboo, but a kind of grass, only grow in the southwest dense forest where poisonous insects gather, it is quite difficult to obtain.
For the sake of her sister, who depends on each other, she can do anything, so she entrusted her sister to a trusted person to take care of, and came to Liuyun City alone and came to the southwest jungle.
Actually, she doesn't need to take risks, as long as she is willing to go to the "big bad", the "big bad" will definitely help her, but she is unwilling, although she can't say the reason, but she just doesn't want to!
Soon after entering the dense forest in the southwest, she met a group of people, fully equipped, slowly advancing through the dense forest, carefully searching, probably a team specializing in searching for herbs in dangerous places.
She didn't want to come into contact with them, but as she was about to leave, she was spotted by the scattered eyes and ears of the team, and she was stopped.
As a poisoner, she is not without the power of self-preservation, and when she was surrounded by these people, she had already taken out a small bag and held it in her hand.
Although the bag is small, the contents are real and deadly, and if you use them here, not only will these people die, but this piece of land will also be starved.
She didn't want to use it unless she had to.
"Who are you?"
The person who questioned was the leader of this team, named Lin Yi, a middle-aged man in his thirties with two scars on his face, and he knew at a glance that he was a person with a story.
At this time, he was looking at this suspicious person who was completely hidden in the cloak with suspicious eyes, they had entered the southwest jungle this time to find a rare medicinal material, and many people were also fighting the idea of this medicinal material, which made them have to be on guard.
Hiding the bag in her sleeve, she decided to negotiate with the other party, if she can make the problem clear, everyone goes their own way, then it is naturally good, if it is not clear, let's see if there are other workarounds.
"I'm here to find herbs!"
So, she replied.
Lin Yi was stunned, such a soft voice was definitely a girl, but he didn't expect that it would be a girl hidden under the cloak.
After being embarrassed for a moment, Lin Yi still adjusted back and asked, "Girl, why are you following our team?"
Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, she was also a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "I didn't follow you, I accidentally bumped into it just now, and it was discovered by your people!"
"I see. ”
With this already in mind, he motioned to his men to put away their blades.
"Girl, since it's a misunderstanding, then ask the girl to leave!"
Hearing Lin Yi say this, she was secretly happy in her heart, fortunately, she met a reasonable person, if she met someone else, I am afraid that it would be troublesome.
"Okay, I'll leave now. ”
With that, she turned around and prepared to leave here.
But as soon as he took a few steps, something happened, and a very discordant voice came out, echoing through the silent woods.
"Wait, don't let her go!"
Hearing this voice, the road that was originally out of the way was blocked by a few men with cross-faced faces.
After the sound came out, the surrounding people immediately made way for a road, and a brocade-clothed man holding a folding fan slowly came over, followed by a small guy who nodded and smiled.
His eyes were fixed on the woman, and the son smiled brightly and said, "Master Lin, you can't let her go!"
This son's name is Qi Mu, he is the son of the Qi family in Liuyun City, and he is also the person who really has the right to speak in this team.
Seeing Qi Mu coming, Lin Yi suddenly felt strange and asked, "Young Master Qi, what do you mean by this? She's just a girl, so it won't affect our actions!"
Qi Mu smiled yinyin, folded the fan in front of him, and said unhurriedly: "Master Lin, how do you know that she was not sent to spy on the news, do you believe such a one-sided statement?"
With a look of embarrassment on his face, Lin Yi couldn't speak, if this matter had to be said in this regard, it was really this Qi Gongzi who took advantage of it.
Seeing that Lin Yi was speechless, Qi Mu smiled proudly, and deliberately made a well-dressed appearance, arched his hand to the woman, and said, "Girl, this matter of our Qi family is too important to let an accident happen, so you can't leave now, girl!"
Hearing this, the woman slowly clenched the bag in her hand and asked, "Then what do you want?"
Qi Mu smiled: "Girl, you can follow our team for the time being, and when we leave here, we will naturally let the girl leave." ”
"The girl is probably here to find herbs, as long as the girl's request is not excessive, you can put it forward, and we can also help find it, which can be regarded as a little compensation for the forced girl!"
Qi Mu is also very good at talking, and in three or two sentences, he said his practice of forcibly retaining people in a high-sounding manner, so that these people on the side nodded more than once.
The woman didn't want to be entangled with these people, but now that the other party has made it clear that she wants to keep people, she has no good way to get out, and she doesn't know how to speak all of a sudden.
Lin Yi is still a clear-eyed person, so he interjected at this time to resolve this embarrassing situation.
"Girl, since our young owner has already said so, you can stay for the time being, I can guarantee that these people under my command will not do anything wrong to the girl!"
The eyes hidden in the cloak looked at Lin Yi, the woman finally nodded, she could see that Lin Yi was an upright person, and his words still had some credibility.
As for that Qi Mu, he obviously didn't have any good intentions!
Seeing that the woman nodded, Lin Yi turned to Qi Mu and said, "Young Dongjia, she has already agreed, we can move on!"
"Hmm!"
With a very enjoyable expression, Qi Mu didn't look at Lin Yi squarely, and after nodding, he slowly turned around, but his eyes still stayed on the woman for a while, implying a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded.
Seeing Qi Mu go to the front of the team, Lin Yi shouted, "Okay, it's okay, everyone keep going." ”
After drinking these people away, Lin Yi saw the woman's side and said, "Girl, I have wronged you for the time being!"
"No, I'm supposed to thank you!"
The woman shook her head gently, and as she spoke, she took out another bag from the package, handed it to Lin Yi, and said, "This will be used as a thank you gift!"
"Oh?"
Taking the bag and taking a look, Lin Yi asked the woman suspiciously, "What is this?"
The woman's voice replied flatly, "Poison." ”
Lin Yi was startled, and the hand holding the bag shook and almost dropped it.
As if she was afraid that she would not be able to scare him, the woman added calmly: "This poison can poison all these people in an instant, and give it to you for self-defense." ”
"This ......"
Holding the bag with trembling hands, Lin Yi only felt that his scalp was numb, and his gaze at the woman also changed completely.
This mysterious woman, hidden in a cloak, and with a rather weak voice, didn't seem to be as simple as he thought!
He was a little skeptical that the young owner had done something wrong by forcing this girl to stay in the team!
......
