Chapter 54: Waiting
"Kurohime, the matter of joining the faction is very important, and you let me think about it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhao Xinming politely declined, and then said, "Hei Ji, you still tell me about Qinghou." ”
Hei Ji frowned, dissatisfied in his heart, and said coldly: "Okay, you can think about it yourself." As for Qinghou's side, some time ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty sprung up and defeated the King of Beiding and the King of Xishan one after another, and all the princes in the world bowed their heads to their ears. During this time, Qinghou didn't dare to make any mistakes. So, I'm still saying that, if he doesn't show you, you'll still be alive. If he shows it to you, I don't know what he's going to do with you, so you can do it yourself. After speaking, Hei Ji lost interest anymore, glanced at Zhao Xinming, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hei Ji, you should be careful, Zheng Renxing will deal with you soon. Zhao Xinming said suddenly.
Kurohime's body trembled, hesitated, and stopped. Turning his head and glancing at Zhao Xinming, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it over, and said softly: "Zhao Xinming, this is for you." Although I don't know how Qinghou will deal with you, Qinghou has a deep relationship with the Ten Thousand Poison Gate, and the biggest possibility is that he uses poison! The use of poison by the Ten Thousand Poison Gate is ever-changing and unpredictable. I have a few 'green jade pills' here, which are matched by my masters, although they cannot cure all kinds of poisons, but they are also quite effective. I'll give it to you now, and it's up to you whether you can get the 'Poison Codex' alive or not. With that, Kurohime threw the porcelain vase over.
Zhao Xinming took it with both hands, opened the cap of the bottle and took a look, there were three thumb-sized jasper pills in the bottle, which looked a little disgusting when they were green, and a strange smell came to Zhao Xinming's nose and choked Zhao Xinming with a violent cough.
Hei Ji saw it in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Little brother, this 'Qingyu Pill' is not simple. Although it can detoxify, it is also highly poisonous, so you must not eat it indiscriminately!"
"Thank you. Zhao Xinming nodded, and then said, "Hei Ji, how can I find you after I get the 'Poison Codex'?"
Hei Ji hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "Zhao Xinming, I don't want the 'Poison Codex', you can keep it for yourself." Now that Zheng Renxing has broken through the Waigang, I can't stay in Zheng Mansion anymore, and I will go back in the next two days. As far as I know, the 'Poison Codex' is a secret that is not passed on by the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and many elders in the sect may not be able to see the real copy, let alone Qinghou? In my opinion, there must be something wrong with this book in Qinghou's hand, so you should be careful. ”
"Zhao Xinming, goodbye to the 'Ghost Domain'. Hei Ji glanced at Zhao Xinming again, snorted, his figure flickered, and the person was gone. Zhao Xinming breathed a long sigh of relief, put away the letter, and slowly walked back. At this time, night fell, the lights were on, and the city of Qingzhou was noisy, Zhao Xinming had no time to take care of it, and walked straight through the city and towards the southeast.
Master Yu's mansion is located in the southeast of Qingzhou City, two streets away from the Hou Mansion, the location is relatively remote, and it is a good place for retreat. Zhao Xinming walked all the way, there were fewer and fewer people, looking from afar, a big mansion with blue bricks and blue tiles was located in front of him, a plaque above the gate, and two big characters "Yu Fu" were written on the dragon and phoenix, which was the mansion of Master Yu.
Zhao Xinming took a few steps forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a crack opened in the door, and a servant-like servant leaned out half of his body, glanced at Zhao Xinming, and asked softly, "This gentleman, who are you looking for?"
"Under the surname Zhao, I have something important to find your husband, and please report it to my brother?" After speaking, Zhao Xinming took out a letter and handed it over, and continued, "Please forward this letter to your husband, he will know it at a glance." ”
The little servant took it with both hands, closed the door, and hurriedly walked in. Zhao Xinming was not in a hurry, and waited outside with his hands behind his back. After a while, the door opened again, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper walked out, glanced at Zhao Xinming, and said with a salute: "May I ask if it is Mr. Zhao? ”
Zhao Xinming nodded, and the old man immediately took Zhao Xinming and walked inside. Yufu occupies a large area, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, weeping willows and green bamboos seem to be a paradise, and everywhere exudes an otherworldly atmosphere. Zhao Xinming watched as he walked, and unconsciously followed the old man around the garden in the front hall and stopped in front of a small building on the second floor.
The old man stopped and said softly: "Mr. Zhao, my husband is inside, and the old slave will retire first." After saying that, the old man confessed and retreated.
Zhao Xinming looked left and right, took a few steps forward, pushed open the door, and saw a Confucian sitting behind a low table, holding a book in his hand, and a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were placed on the low table. Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Confucian raised his head, and Zhao Xinming took a closer look, it was Master Yu of Qinghou Mansion.
"I've seen Master Yu below. Zhao Xinming took two steps forward and saluted.
"Mr. Zhao, come, please take a seat. Seeing Zhao Xinming, Master Yu was also very happy, and hurriedly greeted.
Zhao Xinming nodded, and he was not polite, and sat down immediately.
Master Yu put down the scroll and continued: "Mr. Zhao, you are finally back. You don't know, for your sake, Lord Hou is almost about to turn Qingzhou City over. ”
"Thank you Lord Hou for your concern. Zhao Xinming hurriedly got up and saluted, and then explained the matter in detail. Of course, the content about Hei Ji, Lianshan, and picking stars was selectively omitted by Zhao Xinming.
"What, Zheng Renxing broke through the Waigang?" Master Yu was shocked and asked, "Zhao Xinming, is this true?"
"Master Yu, this matter is absolutely true. Zhao Xinming nodded and continued, "For more than three months, Zheng Renxing has been practicing in retreat in the secret room, and the 'Zheng Renxing' outside was specially arranged by him to cover people's eyes. This matter was said by Zheng Renxing himself, and it will never be false. ”
"How is this possible?" Master Yu still didn't believe it, got up and walked two steps, suddenly stopped, looked at Zhao Xinming's face changed twice, and asked softly: "Zhao Xinming, how did you escape?"
The voice was extremely soft, and it was like silk in his ears, Zhao Xinming only felt that his head sank, and a wave of tiredness hit his heart. At this moment, the artistic conception of "only me" operated on its own, Zhao Xinming was excited, woke up, looked at Master Yu, although he was angry in his heart, but it was not good to attack, so he said softly: "Master doesn't know, Zheng Renxing has a lot of wooden boxes where he practiced, and the box is equipped with a mezzanine, and the mezzanine contains 'blood smoke Luo', which is a highly poisonous thing, light and tasteless, and once released, it quickly evaporates, and there is no trace to be found. When Zheng Renxing was chasing me, he accidentally broke the box and inhaled the poison, which allowed me to escape. ”
"I see. Master Yu nodded, and finally put his mind at ease. He didn't know that the method he had just used had been broken by Zhao Xinming, so he naturally wouldn't doubt it.
Zhao Xinming paused for a moment, and was about to discuss the matter of borrowing books with Master Yu, when he heard Master Yu shouting: "It's not good." ”
"Master, what's wrong?" Zhao Xinming didn't know what to do, and hurriedly asked.
"Mr. Zhao, please wait in the mansion for a while, and go to the Hou Mansion for something important. As for borrowing books, it's up to me, and I'll definitely give my husband a satisfactory explanation. After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Xinming to agree, Master Yu immediately confessed and hurriedly walked out. Zhao Xinming didn't know what was going on, so he could only stay in the hall and wait quietly.
