"Yao Lao, I am under the order of the Hou Ye to arrest the key criminals, and please make it convenient for Yao Lao. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" said respectfully.

"Since it's Lord Hou's order, please two of you. After speaking, Yao Lao let me find a way.

"Thank you. The visitor was overjoyed, made a salute, and took a few steps forward to push open the door.

At this moment, Yao Lao suddenly sneered and said, "Please pay attention to the two of you, there are a lot of strange things in the old man's room, don't hurt your own life." ”

"This?" The two of them were shocked, and immediately stopped, looking at Yao Lao and not knowing what to do.

"Well, the old man is in a good mood today, so I'll help you two. Yao Lao snorted coldly and continued, "Remember, you two are a favor from the old man!"

"Yes, yes, Xie Yao. The two hurriedly agreed.

Yao Lao nodded, and then pushed the door and walked in turn. The room where Zhao Xinming was located was very small, less than two zhang long and wide, and it was full of all kinds of miscellaneous items. Zhao Xinming looked around, and had nowhere to hide, so he could only turn over and hide on the beam. After a while, Yao Lao pushed the door in, walked around, looked up at Zhao Xinming and smiled. Zhao Xinming was taken aback, and was about to come down desperately, when he saw Yao Lao shaking his head, and immediately endured it.

"Two, there's no one here, please. Yao Lao walked out of the door and said lightly.

The two hesitated for a moment and immediately retreated. Zhao Xinming saw it in his eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, I heard Yao Lao's soft voice: "The people inside, come here." Suddenly, my heart tightened, and after a moment's hesitation, I walked over. The main house is not big, it is very simple to furnish, talk about a few decorative things. Although the room was very clean, there was still an indescribable strange smell, which was very unpleasant.

"You are Zhao Xinming?" Yao Lao looked at Zhao Xinming for a while and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, Xie Yao Lao!" Zhao Xinming nodded and looked up at Yao Lao. Yao Lao was about sixty years old, not tall, gloomy, and very thin, as if a gust of wind could blow it. It's just that a pair of eyes are unusually spiritual, and a fine light flashes from time to time.

After looking at each other for a while, Yao Lao suddenly asked, "Zhao Xinming, have you read the 'Poison Codex'?"

Zhao Xinming was shocked in his heart, and was about to hide it, when he suddenly thought of Master Yu's words, his heart moved, and he nodded and said: "Yes, I have indeed seen the 'poison codex' in Xia, and I have written it all down." ”

Yao Lao was so excited that his face flushed, and he asked, "Is this true?"

"It's true. Zhao Xinming nodded in affirmation.

"Okay, good, the emperor paid off, and finally made me wait. Yao Lao immediately stood up and walked around the hut, muttering to himself, sometimes mad, sometimes painful, and finally cursing Qinghou incessantly. After a long time, he calmed down, looked at Zhao Xinming, and continued, "Zhao Xinming, how about we make a deal? I'll take you out, and you give me the 'poison codex', how about it?"

Zhao Xinming hesitated in his heart, looked at Yao Lao, and did not agree. Yao Lao seemed to see Zhao Xinming's thoughts, and grinned: "Okay, if I don't give you a reason, you can't believe me." ”

Yao Lao sighed and said slowly: "The old man has studied medicine since he was a child, and he is also famous in this Qingzhou City. More than 20 years ago, Master Yu took refuge in Qinghou, and soon recommended me to Master Hou, who was responsible for diagnosing the pulse of everyone in this house. After two years, the Hou Ye suddenly confessed to me a very confidential matter, and since then, I have lived in the Hou Mansion, which has been more than 20 years. Zhao Xinming, do you know what Qinghou asked me to do?"

Zhao Xinming shook his head, Yao Lao smiled miserably, as if he was crazy, and shouted: "He actually went to me to concoct poison, and I, a person who saves lives and helps the wounded, and hangs pots to help the world, actually does this, what is the reason? I was about to refuse at that time, but Master Yu's words made me have to dispel this idea." He said, we are all from Qingzhou! With this sentence, I have been concocting poison for Qinghou for more than 20 years!"

"Yao Lao, what does Qinghou want so much poison for?" Zhao Xinming frowned and couldn't help but ask.

"What are you doing, of course, to harm people!" Yao Lao sneered and continued, "Qinghou used these poisons to train 'Qingwuwei', and every time 100 young and strong men used the medicine at the same time, half of them would die on the spot. By the time the 7749 days were over, only 5 or 6 people would survive. In my life, I will never forget the scene of the first training of the 'Qingwuwei', those 100 men fell to the ground, struggling and screaming in pain, their faces changing color like lanterns, bleeding from all seven orifices, and dying one after another. This sight has tormented me for more than twenty years!"

Speaking of this, Yao Lao couldn't bear it anymore, cried on the spot, and said intermittently: "In the past twenty years, I have helped Qinghou train a total of 362 'Qingwuwei', but killed 1,769 people! Zhao Xinming, you said that I am a doctor, do such a thing that is not tolerated, should I have died a long time ago?"

Zhao Xinming sighed, and didn't know how to persuade him. Yao Lao laughed miserably: "I also wanted to die for a long time, but unfortunately my family is in Qingzhou City, how can you tell me to do it?" I was going to be like this for the rest of my life, until a few years ago, Master Yu told me about the 'poison codex'." He said that poison can both kill and save people. I hope that I can persevere, and in the future I will have the opportunity to learn the things on the 'Poison Codex', and it will not be too late to benefit others." That's what I've been doing until now. It's a pity that Qinghou takes this book very seriously, even if Master Yu is circling around it, I only learn a trace of it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yao Lao stared at Zhao Xinming and asked again: "Zhao Xinming, I have saved you now, and I have offended Qinghou." If the matter is revealed, not only me, but also my whole family, young and old, will not escape death, what else are you worried about?"

Zhao Xinming pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed.

"Good, good, good. Yao Lao said three times in a row and continued, "Zhao Xinming, you can live with me with peace of mind for the past few days, and when the limelight passes, I will find a way to send you out." ”

After speaking, the old medicine man blushed and couldn't wait to ask about the 'pharmacopoeia'. Zhao Xinming thought about it carefully, and slowly memorized the contents of the book, as for the papers hidden close to him, Zhao Xinming still concealed them.

On the corner tower, Qinghou stood by the window and waited quietly. Soon, a group of guards rushed here, kneeling down and not daring to make a sound.

"What about people?" Qinghou turned around and asked in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

"I said, what about people? What about Zhao Xinming?" Qinghou was furious, looked at the guards, and yelled.

Everyone still knelt there silently, and there was a dead silence in the corner tower.

"All right, go down. Qinghou sighed and withdrew his gaze.

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" After a while, Qinghou asked again.

"I'm fine, thank you Lord Hou for your concern. Master Yu struggled to stand up and hurriedly replied.

"That's good. Qinghou said lightly, looked out the window, and was speechless for a long time.
