"what happens?"
Zhao Rang couldn't remember how he got back to the house.
He was in a trance all the way, his mind was in a mess, as if someone had stuffed a lot of things into it.
"Um?"
It wasn't until Qingqing's voice reached his ears that he came out of his trance.
"You are hurt!"
Zhao Rang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and Qingqing saw the scratch on the back of his hand.
After looking at it for a long time, Zhao Rang remembered what was going on.
"Well, it was blown by a strange gust of wind."
What he said was very plain, as plain as the wind.
But Qingqing was very nervous.
Because she saw that although there was only a scratch on the back of Zhao Rang's hand, the wound was red and swollen, like a grinning mouth, mocking everyone who looked at it.
"What wind?"
Qingqing rarely asked so persistently.
Although Zhao Rang felt strange, he still told her in detail.
"The Tang Family in Shuzhong!"
"This is the poisonous sand of the Tang family in Shu!"
Qingqing asserted.
"I know it's poison, but I feel fine now."
After saying that, Zhao Rang put down his hand indifferently, not preparing to deal with the wound.
His eyes were always looking out the window, and his ears were always paying attention to the movement in the yard behind him.
That "snake" doesn't know when it will come again.
Qingqing was very angry when she saw that he was so distracted. She couldn't help but ask her junior sister to fetch a basin of water. Then she grabbed Zhao Rang's injured wrist, pressed it on the table, and pulled a string from the window curtain. Fasten his entire arm firmly to the table.
"What are you going to do?"
Just as Zhao Rang was about to struggle, he saw Qing Qing slipping out a short knife from his sleeve.
"Save your life!"
Before the last word was completely spoken, the blade had already fallen on the wound on the back of Zhao Rang's hand.
Qingqing pulled hard, and the wound that was supposed to be healed suddenly became open again, and it was a little deeper than before.
The sharp blade cut his skin and flesh, even Zhao Rang was in great pain.
But under the gaze of the two girls, he still gritted his teeth and endured with all his strength.
After cutting the wound, Qingqing pricked it on the table with a "dumb" motion, and then pushed the wound hard with both hands.
Blood burst out from it and flowed into the basin.
A basin of water quickly turned into blood.
"It's almost done..."
The junior sister changed three basins of water in a row. Zhao Rang was numb to the pain coming from the wound, and then he spoke.
Qingqing pushed hard one last time, and then did not clean Zhao Rang's wound, but let it solidify naturally before bandaging it.
"Well, that's almost it. You're so lucky!"
Zhao allowed himself to remove the rope that fixed his arm. The pain at the moment was not the wound, but the mark where the rope had strangled him.
After rubbing it hard for a few times, I saw that Qingqing's cheeks were slightly red after being busy for a while, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but she still kept the joke in her mouth and said:
"I also think I'm pretty lucky!"
Qingqing glanced at him angrily and said:
"Don't you know how powerful the Tang family in Sichuan is?"
Zhao Rang shook his head and replied:
"I only know that this place is waiting for you, but I have never even been to the river."
"But I know people in that place love spicy food!"
As he spoke, Zhao Rang touched his lips.
The swelling has gone down now, but it still stings a little when touched.
"Since you've never been there, how do you know the people there can eat spicy food?"
Zhao Rang did not answer directly, but asked:
"you've been to?"
Qingqing stared at him for a long time without saying a word.
There was no emotion in his eyes, and he was too calm.
Until Zhao Rang was a little scared, Qingqing suddenly stood up, raised her legs, stepped on the chair with one foot, and then slowly pulled up the long skirt hanging at her ankles.
"What are you going to do!"
Zhao Rang was confused by Qing Qing's move!
He was obviously the one who was poisoned, so he should be the one who goes crazy and does stupid things.
But Qingqing's movements did not stop because of Zhao Rang's words.
The long skirt went straight up, exposing her entire calf.
Qing Qing's skin was not fair, but it was extremely firm and well-proportioned.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will definitely envy such a leg.
"cough……"
Zhao Rang coughed.
This is a very old-fashioned way to relieve embarrassment.
But his eyes gave him away.
A pair of legs that would make any woman envious, so he had no reason not to look at them.
The hem of the skirt continued to rise, but Qingqing's speed suddenly increased and she pulled it to the top of her thigh.
This time, the whole leg was completely exposed, but Zhao Rang was shocked and stood up!
There is a large depression on the inner side of Qingqing's thigh, so that the skin is almost close to the bone, and it is covered with dense marks.
"You know why I said you were lucky?"
Qingqing moved her feet off the chair, and her long skirt fell down, covering everything.
"Five years ago, I went there once and happened to meet the Tang family."
"Do all the Tang family members use poison?"
Zhao Rang asked.
"There are also hidden weapons. There are all kinds of hidden weapons that you can't even think of. But these hidden weapons are also quenched with poison, so it's okay for you to say so."
Zhao Rang continued:
"Then... there's also a gust of wind on your legs?"
Qingqing corrected:
"It's not wind, it's fog."
She still can't forget that scene.
It rains a lot in the south, and it's even more humid in Sichuan.
It is normal for mountain roads to be foggy. As long as you know the direction clearly, no one will care.
Qingqing rode on the horse and walked into the fog. Suddenly she felt that her vision was getting shorter and shorter. When she lowered her head, she saw that all four of the horse's legs had been swallowed up by the fog. It was so fast that even the horse itself had not reacted.
"I reacted quickly. I immediately pulled away, stepped on the saddle hard, and was about to jump out. As a result, the mist also rose up and wrapped around my thighs."
"You're also lucky..."
Zhao Rang said darkly.
"It's still not as good as you!"
Zhao Rang's wound only needed to be reopened and the blood squeezed out.
Qingqing directly cut off a large piece of meat on his leg.
"The Tang family..."
Zhao Rang couldn't help but lower his head and look at the wound on the back of his hand.
The blood has solidified, and the wound at this moment is the most hideous and terrifying.
"So if you haven't been there, how do you know they can eat spicy food?"
Zhao Rang said:
"The Acting Master invited me to have a late-night snack, and there was only one dish that he cooked himself."
“Chili and black bean fish?”
"Exactly."
"The previous headmaster has been there."
"That's right. He said he was invited by Master Hagoromo to study the Taoist canon there."
Qingqing sneered a few times and said:
"Whatever sects there are, they have all been taken out by the Tang family!"
It can be seen from the word "Tang family" that this is not a sect, let alone a religion, but a family like Zhao Rang's Zhao family and Ximen Dazhuang's Ximen family.
This family can be said to be a dominant force in the Southland. It has been in the southwest of the Southland for more than 300 years, which can be traced back to the beginning of the previous dynasty, much longer than Dawei.
In the past three hundred years, few people have heard of this family's name, because they almost never come out, and no one goes in at will.
Anyone who breaks in rashly, even if they are lucky enough to survive, will no longer be intact, and they will remain silent about what they experienced in that place and will not say a word.
Because the Tang family's poison is so powerful and terrifying!
The only thing more terrible than death is that life is worse than death.
This is exactly what the Tang family's poison has reached.
"Is there no antidote?"
Zhao Rang thought that after so many years, there would definitely be many people who suffered losses. There are many talented people in the world, and there will definitely be strange people and strange things who can research the antidote.
Once you have an antidote, no matter how powerful the poison is, it will no longer be scary.
"have."
Hearing Qingqing's reply, Zhao Rang breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be great if there is an antidote, even if it is hard to get, it is there after all.
"The antidote is only in the hands of one person. Whoever is the head of the Tang family owns the antidote."
Zhao Rang's eyes narrowed.
This is an unsolvable problem.
Although there is an antidote to the Tang family's poison, the antidote is still in the hands of the Tang family, and only the head of the family can hold it.
And the person who was poisoned must have offended someone from the Tang family.
How could the head of the Tang family give the antidote to a person who was against the Tang family for no reason?
Now Zhao Rang knows the weight of Qingqing's "good luck" sentence at the beginning.
Not everyone can have the luck of avoiding a life worse than death. It can even be said to be as rare and precious as the Tang family's only antidote!
"Are you sure this is the Tang family's poison?"
Zhao Rang was still a little confused.
Since this family that has lasted for three hundred years has never stepped out of its own territory, why did they take the trouble to cross the Taishang River and come to Baihe Mountain in the North?
With the power of their poisons and their unpredictable poisoning methods, it is not difficult to massacre an entire city in one night. Isn't it too much to break a family tradition of more than three hundred years for a mere Baihe Mountain?
"You can't be wrong. From the changes in the flowers and plants you just mentioned, as well as your wounds, this is caused by the poisonous sand of the Tang family. But the poison is not that powerful. It seems that you are not a direct descendant of the Tang family."
You must know that poison is a double-edged sword.
When one's own ability does not match the potency of the poison, the person who dies first may not be the enemy, but oneself.
"somebody is coming!"
Zhao Rang's ears moved and he heard hurried footsteps in the courtyard.
"Wrap the wound first!"
Qingqing tore off a piece of the sheet and bandaged Zhao Rang's wound as quickly as possible.
The sleeves hang down, just enough to cover them.
People who don't know it can't see it at all.
The visitors were the five people who had left earlier to find the antidote.
Zhao Rang didn't have any emotions when he saw them coming back.
Because the poison poisoned by the senior sister must also be the poison of the Tang family.
The antidote is in the hands of only one person. Even if these five people search the entire Baihe Mountain, they can't find it.
Sure enough, these five people all lowered their heads.
After struggling for most of the night, they got nothing, and they felt very uncomfortable.
"It's okay. There is no antidote for this poison."
Zhao Rang spoke to comfort him.
When the leader heard what Zhao Rang said, he quickly asked:
"Master Zhao, do you know what kind of poison this is?"
Zhao Rang only replied:
"Anyway, it's a poison for which there is no antidote in Baihe Mountain."
The two sides were silent for a long time, and the leader said again:
"Mr. Zhao, there is one more thing."
Zhao Rang heard his serious tone and knew it was definitely not a good thing, but still motioned for him to continue.
If there are too many bad things, there will be no good or bad things.
"The other two groups, ten people, cannot be contacted..."
This was something Zhao Rang didn't expect.
But he wasn't surprised.
Baihe Mountain lurks the poison masters of the Tang family. Anyone who can still stand here talking and breathing is lucky!
He just hoped that those ten people would die more simply and not suffer too much pain or torture.
"And one more thing."
"Say it."
Zhao Rang rubbed his eyebrows with his right hand, trying to relax his mind.
There were enough troubles tonight, and there was also a lot of bad news. He really needed to keep his mind sharp and not get tied up in a dead knot.
"Before Headmaster Bai Hezi goes down the mountain, he asked us to closely monitor the traffic going up and down the mountain. Ming..."
"Then do you know how many times Sun Er went down the mountain by himself?"
Zhao Rang interrupted him and interjected.
The leader couldn't answer, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"What's going on tomorrow?"
There was no point in delving into what had already happened, so Zhao Rang motioned for him to continue.
"A batch of goods will be shipped up the mountain tomorrow. Posts have been sent to the mountain, and the goods are already down the mountain."
Zhao Rang felt very strange.
Before Bai Hezi went down the mountain, he had clearly ordered the mountain gate to be closed, so how could there be any goods to be transported up the mountain?
"This batch of goods was ordered a month and a half ago. The situation at that time was different from now. And it was not convenient to contact people on the road, so they didn't know that Baihe Mountain had been closed."
This explanation does make sense.
"Where did it come from?"
The leader handed Zhao Rang a post.
If people at the foot of the mountain need to go up the mountain for important matters during the mountain closure period, they must first submit a door sticker, which will be handed over by the concierge to the relevant elder, and then handed over to the acting headmaster's office. Only after obtaining permission can the trip be made.
The door sticker was handed over half an hour ago.
It was late at night and the concierge was asleep.
After receiving the post in a daze, I threw it on the table and fell asleep again. I just waited for the light to come out tomorrow before submitting it to the elders.
The concierge is on duty for ordinary disciples, so it is easy for these secret agents to get this famous post.
Just put this famous post back intact before dawn tomorrow.
Zhao Rang took the name card and opened it to read the signature. A line of eye-catching large characters was pressed under the bright red seal——
"Admiralty Escort Agency"
"Whose name card is it?"
Qingqing saw the change in Zhao Rang's expression, moved closer to him and immediately frowned.
"I didn't come early, I didn't come late, but I just came at this time."
"If you don't come, he won't come, but the Admiralty Escort Agency will come!"
Qingqing knew everything about Zhao Rang's previous trip to the Western Regions.
In other words, the first floor of the Investigation Department knew everything.
Therefore, he also knows everything about what the Admiralty Escort Agency has been doing secretly.
At this juncture, Jinzhong Escort Agency came to Baiheshan to deliver goods, which made people think too much.
What's more, the name card also stated in detail that there were 188 boxes of goods, 507 people from the Admiralty Escort Bureau, and 300 livestock.
"What a big battle!"
Zhao Rang closed the name card and sighed.
"Where did it come from? You said you set out a month and a half ago, why did you leave for so long!"
