The meeting hall of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau became lively again. When everyone heard the news that Lin Quan might have been poisoned, their sleepiness suddenly disappeared and they started talking at random.
"Sister, will Lin Quan really come to our escort agency to poison us? Should we send someone to guard the well in the courtyard?"
"In the future, the ingredients in the kitchen must also be put away...it's best to lock them up..."
"Someone must watch while cooking, lest he take the opportunity to poison the food..."
"I heard that since he stole the Shennong Cauldron and refined some very powerful poisons, the Hall Master of the Yeyou Alliance couldn't even save himself if he was hit by his poisonous needle..."
Everyone was talking a lot, becoming more and more nervous as they talked. From time to time they glanced at the missing tiles on the roof, their eyes full of surprise.
Su Qiqi could see the worries in everyone's hearts. While listening carefully to everyone's opinions, Qin Chuan repaired the tiles on the roof.
Qin Chuan walked out of the meeting hall knowingly, flew up to the roof, threw away the tiles that had been trampled by the thieves, and then went to the woodshed to get the leftover tiles used to repair the stable and re-paved them, blocking the gap.
On the other side, Lin Quan escaped from the Weiyuan Escort Bureau and returned to the ruined temple where he was hiding. Take out the Shennong Cauldron from the hole under the incense table and continue to refine the poison.
The experiments of the past few days made him confident in the poison he had refined. This time, he increased the dose and tried to add new toxin ingredients. Once the refining was successful, he would have a chance to become the best poison master in the world.
What excites him even more is that as long as he secretly drops poison into the well of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau, he can easily control the entire escort agency and force them to hand over the other two treasures without using any soldiers! As long as the treasure is obtained, no one will dare to challenge me again!
Lin Quan was proudly immersed in his fantasy. Suddenly, there was a squeaking sound on the door. Lin Quan instinctively wanted to put away the Shennong Cauldron, but he was a step too late!
A figure in silver robes passed by him like the wind, and with a wave of his sleeves, he knocked him aside. He felt pain in his chest and spit out a mouthful of blood. When he came to his senses, the Shennong Cauldron had been taken away by the man in silver robe.
"No!" Lin Quan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up with force, and chased after the silver-robed man, but was stopped by the three guardians of the Ye You Alliance.
Seeing the malicious looks and fatal attacks of the three guardians, Lin Quan felt a sense of despair. It seemed that he was in danger this time!
In the midst of the crisis, he suddenly thought of the poison he had just half-refined. When the leader of the Yeyou Alliance came in, he grabbed one of the iron ears of the Shennong Cauldron. When he was about to put it away, he got some poison residue on his hand. Why don't you make use of these poison residues?
During this period of time, I have developed a physique that is invulnerable to all poisons. I can take advantage of this and use poison on these powerful enemies... Only in this way can I have a chance to break through and escape!
Thinking of this, he pinched a few silver needles between his fingers without hesitation, then covered the silver needles with the poison residue in his hand, and shot them towards the three guardians. After a few soft whizzing sounds, Yao Hufa, who was weak in martial arts, fell to the ground due to poisoning, and soon he bled to death from his seven orifices.
Upon seeing this, the other two guardians hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to come any closer to block his way.
Lin Quan sneered triumphantly and then drifted away.
Seeing that he had gone far away, the two guardians dared to come closer to check the death of their companion. When they saw it, their eyes were splitting. It was the first time for them to see such terrible symptoms of poisoning: the entire face of the poisoned Guardian Yao The exposed skin has all rotted into blue-purple fish-like scars, which are densely arranged on every inch of the muscles and bones, making people tremble with fear!
"What kind of strange poison is this? How can it be so powerful?" the younger child guardian exclaimed.
The older Protector Jin took a deep breath and said to his companions in a trembling voice: "Child... Protector Child, don't touch the corpse to avoid being infected with the poison! Let's go back and report to the leader first, and then deal with it..."
After saying that, the two of them took a few steps back with lingering fear, then left the ruined temple and returned to the main altar of the Yeyou Alliance.
On the other side, after Lin Quan broke through, he did not continue to escape. Instead, he sneaked back to the Weiyuan Escort Bureau through a hidden path and hid behind a swill cart at the side door of a restaurant.
He held his nose and waited for a while, then sneaked into the side door of the restaurant while the waiter came out to pour swill.
He hid in the restaurant until midnight, then stole a pair of waiter's clothes and changed into them, then slipped out from the side door and ran towards the Weiyuan Escort Agency across the alley.
He climbed up the wall familiarly and entered the backyard garden. Then we found a well near the woodshed along the garden path. Just as he was about to step forward to poison, he discovered that the well cover had been changed. It was no longer the ordinary manhole cover seen during the day, but a special locking manhole cover.
He couldn't help but curse angrily, and then he was about to use his power to break the iron lock, when he suddenly heard slight footsteps coming from behind the nearby flowers, and hurriedly dodged and hid in the bushes nearby.
As soon as he hid, two people came out from behind the flowers. They were the two bodyguards guarding the well. The two of them murmured as they walked: "It's already late at night, there shouldn't be anyone here to poison..."
"Yeah, let's stand there for a while and go back to the house to sleep. I'm so sleepy that I can hardly open my eyes..."
Lin Quan heard what they said and waited patiently in the bushes. After the two left, they came out of the bushes, used their strength to break the iron lock on the manhole cover, sprinkled poison into the well, then closed the manhole cover and left quietly.
Early the next morning, the kitchen boy came to fetch water and found that the lock on the manhole cover was broken. He was about to report it to Su Qiqi, but was stopped by the two bodyguards who guarded the well last night. They gave him ten taels of silver and asked him not to take it. Go tell Su Qiqi to prevent the two of them from being punished for dereliction of duty.
The handyman who carried the water was obsessed with money. After receiving the money, he took a chance and silently carried the water to the kitchen.
In the morning, when the breakfast was served, the two escorts looked at the breakfast and felt anxious for a long time before they bravely stretched out their chopsticks to the steamed buns. Unexpectedly, they foamed at the mouth as soon as they finished eating and fell on the table. Save personnel. Several other unsuspecting escorts had breakfast and the same situation occurred.
The other escorts didn't dare to move their chopsticks when they saw this, and the housekeeper hurriedly went to report Su Qiqi. Su Qiqi, Zheng Miao, and Yan Ruoyu were washing up. When they heard the butler's report, they hurried to the restaurant.
Su Qiqi asked Zheng Miao and Granny Cui to check everyone's physical condition, and also tested the leftover food eaten by several people and the remaining ingredients in the kitchen. It was determined that the escorts were not suffering from ordinary food poisoning, but a rare and strange poison.
Grandma Cui told everyone that fortunately the poison had not been refined yet, otherwise the lives of several people would have been in danger. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then worked together to find the source of the poison and found the poisoned well.
Su Qiqi called all the handymen in the kitchen and questioned them one by one, and finally learned the whole story from the water-carrying handyman who had accepted the bribe.
Qin Chuan, Yan Ruoyu, Nangong Yu, Nangong Yue, Xu Yunling, Pei Wenyi and others used their skills to exorcise the poisons of several bodyguards, and combined with the universal antidote prepared by Granny Cui, they finally saved their lives.
