Long Chen came down from the attic and walked out slowly. Ge Dongdong was ordered to see Long Chen out.
When he walked to a deserted place, Long Chen asked Ge Dongdong if he felt uncomfortable.
Ge Dongdong was stunned...
Long Chen asked him to continue to follow.
Only then did Ge Dongdong step up and ask, "How do you know?"
Long Chen said with a smile: "At night, the left side of my abdomen hurts, but it's not particularly painful."
Long Chen was walking and talking, with a smile on his face all the time, and it looked like he was just chatting.
Ge Dongdong's face turned even more ugly, and he asked in a low voice, "What on earth did you do?"
Long Chen smiled, did not answer, and just continued to walk out.
When they arrived at the gate, Long Chen moved his hand in his sleeve, and a pill shot into Ge Dongdong's sleeve.
Ge Dongdong was suddenly startled, and there was something in his hand.
"Take it, and there will be no pain tonight."
Long Chen said with a smile: "Don't work hard and give more, we are all old acquaintances."
A servant brought the horse over, and Long Chen got on the horse and returned to the house.
Ge Dongdong watched Long Chen go away, holding the elixir in his hand, and kept thinking about every encounter with Long Chen in his heart.
What went wrong?
When was it poisoned?
Why didn't I feel it before?
Did he come here on purpose today?
A bunch of guesses flashed through Ge Dongdong's mind...
"What's wrong?"
A voice came from behind, and Ge Dongdong woke up with a start, and immediately hid the elixir in his sleeve.
"This Long Cheng'en is not a good person. It's best not to have contact with him."
Ge Dongdong's face turned cold and he said with disgust in his eyes.
Heifeng walked to his side, nodded and said, "But the good thing is in his hands, and there's nothing we can do about it."
"You seem to hate him?"
Ge Dongdong snorted, his lips twitched slightly, and said, "I was almost tortured to death in his dungeon. This guy's torture skills are top-notch."
"The methods I use to interrogate prisoners now are still learned from him. They are really easy to use."
Thinking of this, Ge Dongdong suddenly understood.
When he and another assassin were caught, Long Chen gave him a pill.
At that time, I thought the elixir was fine, but now the toxicity started to show up.
When Heifeng saw Ge Dongdong's face turning pale, he thought that Ge Dongdong was remembering the past and was afraid.
"What are you afraid of? You are now the Baijin Envoy and the Pavilion Master of Wanjin Pavilion. How dare he do anything to you."
Heifeng patted Ge Dongdong on the shoulder, said a few words of comfort, and then turned to the attic to serve Shen Wanjin.
Ge Dongdong turned around and returned to the room, feeling cold and hot all over.
Taking out the elixir from his sleeve, Ge Dongdong stared at it for a long time.
"Is this an antidote or a poison?"
Ge Dongdong looked at it for a long time and wanted to throw away the elixir, but there was a pain in his stomach.
After rubbing his stomach, Ge Dongdong stuffed the elixir into a bottle.
"This thief has no good intentions from the beginning. What does he want to do?"
Ge Dongdong was restless in the room. He didn't know what Long Chen wanted to do.
The feeling of being targeted by Long Chen made his hair stand on end.
Everyone in the world has been wiped out, let alone a small envoy with a hundred golds.
"Do you want to tell the landlord?"
Ge Dongdong wanted to ask Shen Wanjin to come forward and let Long Chen detoxify.
"No, absolutely not!"
Ge Dongdong immediately rejected the idea.
Long Chen had been drugging Ge Dongdong for a long time. If Shen Wanjin knew about it, he would definitely suspect that Ge Dongdong was sending information to Long Chen.
When the time comes, Ge Dongdong will die miserably if he doesn't know for sure.
Ge Dongdong slumped in his chair and found that he had no choice.
Shen Wanjin was told that there was a dead end and he could only ask Long Chen for the antidote.
However, if you want to take something from Long Chen, you will definitely have to pay a price.
Ge Dongdong regretted that he was too naive.
At first, he felt that Long Chen had helped him, and with the help of Long Chen's few businesses, he was able to climb up through the ranks.
Now he suddenly discovered that Long Chen had taken the bait and he had been caught.
"We can't sit back and wait for death to find our own medicine."
Ge Dongdong didn't want to die, nor did he want to be associated with Long Chen. He wanted to find the antidote himself.
This is the only way to survive.
...
Long Chen left the Jujin Hall and did not go back directly to Prince Wu's Mansion. Instead, he went to the north of the city and arrived at a secluded house.
The poison in Ge Dongdong was left behind a few years ago, when Li Chengdao found Wanjin Tower to assassinate Long Chen and burn down Prince Wu's Mansion.
Ge Dongdong and another assassin were caught. In the dungeon, Long Chen swallowed poison for Ge Dongdong.
The effect of this poison is very slow, and it is only now taking effect slowly.
Drugs that are slowly toxic are also slow to detoxify. It is impossible for Ge Dongdong to detoxify himself.
After giving Ge Dongdong the poison, Long Chen deliberately gave him a list to improve his status.
Now, Ge Dongdong has become Shen Wanjin's right-hand man.
In Jujintang, apart from Heifeng who is the personal bodyguard, Meng Lan, Youxuan and Ge Dongdong are Shen Wanjin's direct subordinates.
Needless to say, Meng Lan was manipulated by Long Chen, and she did everything she should and should not do anyway.
Long Chen didn't make any demands on Meng Lan. If he did, Meng Lan would most likely be obedient.
As for Ge Dongdong, he is controlled by poison and is not afraid that he will not submit.
As a result, two of Shen Wanjin's three subordinates were controlled by Long Chen.
Of course, today I just reminded Ge Dongdong what Long Chen didn't ask him to do.
Just put the chess piece there and activate it when you need to use it.
Today I just want to remind Ge Dongdong to let him know that his life is in Long Chen's hands.
Arriving at the door of the house, Long Chen knocked on the door.
The door opened, and Xiu Niang smiled sweetly inside, and pulled Long Chen into the yard.
The door was closed and the horse was parked in the yard. Xiu Niang couldn't wait to pull Long Chen into the room.
The quilt on the bed was a little messy, two pillows were placed there, pajamas hung at the end of the bed, and silk bellybands and breastplates were messily thrown in the corner.
It seems that Xiu Niang is very bored living alone.
"Husband, you won't come all winter!"
The embroiderer's eyes were red, and she quickly untied Long Chen's clothes with both hands.
Long Chen hugged Xiu Niang and kissed her, and said distressedly: "I'll tell you later."
Long Chen picked up Xiu Niang and took off the skirt first. He ignored the rest and just comforted her first.
...
An hour later, Xiu Niang was lying in Long Chen's arms, looking much better.
His face became rosy again and his eyes became shiny.
"Husband, I haven't been here for so long. Where have you been?"
Long Chen hugged Xiu Niang and kissed her cheek tenderly.
"I was training in Linglong Pavilion and didn't go down the mountain all winter."
The embroiderer asked strangely: "Why are you training in Linglong Pavilion? Isn't that the place where weapons are forged?"
Linglong Pavilion was the arsenal of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. All kinds of exquisite weapons came from there, and Xiu Niang naturally knew it.
Long Chen said: "This is a new army with completely different weapons. I will use them to destroy Xixia."
The embroiderer hugged Long Chen and asked, "Then you are going down the mountain now. Are your soldiers and horses ready?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, after practicing, I'm going to leave for Jade Buddha Pass tomorrow."
When she heard that she was leaving tomorrow, the embroiderer immediately stood up and said, "Just leave. Then how long will it take for you to come back?"
In order to hide her traces, Xiu Niang could only live alone. She was really lonely and deserted.
Long Chen looked at Xiu Niang's appearance and said distressedly: "I'll think of a way to take you over."
"It will take me a year or two, or even a few years at the earliest."
The embroiderer was even more anxious when she heard that she would be away for a few years.
It's not that she is ignorant, but that she is really lonely.
"Okay, I'll wait for news about my husband. I'll come as you arrange."
Xiu Niang lay down again and leaned against Long Chen.
"Come, I'll pay off the debt, and I'll give you everything I owe you in the winter."
Long Chen hugged Xiu Niang and turned over.
The embroiderer giggled and said, "You have paid off all the winter debts, and my money jar can no longer hold it."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Nonsense, your jar obviously still has room, you can fill it in a little more."
