who knows

Chapter 16 Trading

"A good horse matches a good saddle, and a beauty matches a hero. It's true that this girl is dedicated to Young Master Luo. It's just that I bought her at a huge price, but I can't do a loss-making business, right?" Zhong Li Qing looked at Luo Mengjie who agreed lightly on his lips, but his eyes flickered with a fierce look, knowing that he would definitely not leave her a way out, and he must have planned to kill people and seize treasures, she smiled inwardly, but didn't To point it out, he just said quietly, "I want to exchange a bottle of spiritual blood with Young Master Luo for a bottle of spiritual blood that was auctioned at the auction house. As for the price difference, it is considered to be a filial piety to the Prince's Mansion. I have the right to make friends. I don't know what Young Master Luo wants. how?"

The ten bottles of spiritual blood that Luo Mengjie snatched from Zhong Liqing are worth at least three spirit stones, but just one bottle taken out of it is only worth three hundred spirit coins. It's not a loss, it's a big profit.

He suspected that this kid had bad intentions, but he thought of the arrangement just now, so he didn't argue with him, nodded, took out a bottle of spiritual blood from the universe bag, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Deal!"

Just as Zhong Liqing's finger was about to touch the bottle of spiritual blood, she suddenly turned half a circle and landed on the teapot. She picked it up and filled herself with a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Then, I will toast you with tea instead of wine. Sir, I wish us success in the transaction - I will do my best to respect you."

Zhong Liqing picked up the teacup in front of her, drank it down without changing her expression, and then turned the cup bottom down to show her sincerity.

Seeing her so neat, Luo Mengjie and his guard looked at each other, the latter was noncommittal, while the former smiled knowingly, but didn't touch the cup of tea on the table, but rubbed his hands together, laughing: "Tea, I Don’t drink it, little brother, we smart people don’t talk dark words, where is that little beauty now?”

"It's in the next room." Zhong Liqing said with a smile.

"That's fine, I know," Luo Mengjie slapped his thigh, and the evil smile on the corner of his mouth became ferocious, "You kid can die too! Don't do anything yet!"

He said the last sentence to his guard.

Zhong Liqing was not flustered by this sudden change, as if she had expected it, she was playing with the teacup in one hand and propping her chin in the other, looking at the two people who stood up and were about to attack her, she suddenly smiled: "Why?" , I can’t help showing my true colors so soon? I thought I’d have to wait a little longer.”

"Stinky boy, just because you are worthy of negotiating terms with this young master? You don't want to piss to show yourself what kind of virtue... Uh!" Luo Mengjie suddenly shuddered while he was talking, and his expression changed as he clutched his cramped abdomen. non-stop.

The old man who was clasping a dart behind him to cut Zhong Liqing's throat and silence her also felt weak for a while, he quickly supported the table to stabilize himself, and also stared at Zhong Liqing who was confident.

"I don't know if the two of you feel that something is wrong?" She smiled, stood up slowly, walked around the two of them with her hands behind her back, and said seriously, "Do you feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, severe pain in the lower abdomen, difficult To mobilize spiritual energy?"

"Have you been poisoned?"

"mean!"

"I'm not talented, my aptitude is limited, and my cultivation level is not high. When I have nothing to do, I like to ponder some medicinal earth recipes. I once heard an old man mention the use of Sanjue plant ash and peach fruit pits to grind into powder, which dissolves in water. Colorless and odorless, it has a miraculous effect on calming the nerves and refreshing the mind, but if the drinker inhales the incense of Shenshuixiangmu, it will become heart-breaking and life-threatening —— I tried it out of my excitement, and it was really interesting as the old man said " Zhong Liqing smiled and picked up the bottle of spiritual blood in front of him and shook it, "The old man also said that the blood of this kind of epiphytic diamond python has a miraculous effect on curing severe poison, so I just thought of exchanging it with the two of you. Unexpectedly, the two of you didn't keep your word and wanted to kill me instead..."

Zhong Liqing hadn't finished speaking, but Luo Mengjie's mouth suddenly curled up into a smug smile, and with a flip of his hand, he swiftly took out an identical small jade bottle from his Qiankun bag, opened the lid, and didn't care about the bloody smell He raised his head and took a big gulp, then threw his hands to the old man behind him: "Drink quickly!"

Zhong Liqing looked at him and the old man's lightning-quick movements in astonishment, as if he hadn't expected that he hadn't lost his mobility yet, and took advantage of this opportunity to make a comeback.

——Or, she didn't stop it too late, but did it on purpose.

When the two of them finished eating the bottle of spiritual blood, Zhong Liqing didn't do anything to stop them, but watched them wipe the blood from the corners of their mouths with interest, and then said: "At the beginning of the poisoning, You may feel that your limbs are weak and your eyes are dark. Slowly, you will feel that the voice of my words in your ears is gradually blurred. Then, you will lose your sense of smell, taste and even touch in turn, and you will not feel my existence. , you can't even feel your own existence, and in the end, you will lose your mind and become a living dead, this is the truly terrifying thing about this poison..."

"Ha! What you said is certainly terrifying! But just now I have...uh, uh, ah, ah, ah, ah..." As he spoke, Luo Mengjie grabbed his throat violently, but he could only make a hoarse, rattling sound. He couldn't even utter a word, but he turned his head to look with difficulty. The old man who was protecting him, a monk who was about to form an alchemy after the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen, who drank more spiritual blood than him, had already covered his ears and thumped. He fell to the ground with a bang, twitching continuously.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that although the old man mentioned that this spiritual blood is the secret recipe for detoxification, after a mere research, it was found that this spiritual blood not only cannot detoxify, but is a catalyst, which can accelerate and increase the toxicity. , if you take this spiritual blood, it will be true that the medicine is ineffective, and you will definitely die—it can be seen that the rumors and experience can't be trusted, what does Young Master Luo think?" Smiling, he admired Luo Mengjie's unbelievable and resentful expression , Zhong Liqing squatted down and leaned close to his ear, as if she was afraid that he would not hear, and said word by word, "I know that you rich families will keep the natal cards for your disciples. If the natal cards are broken, no matter how far away They can all know the news of their son's death in the first time, and the ray of special spiritual power remaining on this fate card has a sense for the person who killed him... It's a pity that the one who killed you was poured by yourself. The elixir you gave me has nothing to do with me."

The implication is: you and your old guard were killed by yourself.

If it weren't for the two of you foolishly trying to grab the spiritual blood, maybe you would have subdued me by now, why would I die?

So, only blame yourself for being stupid, not others.

This light sentence was like the last straw that weighed on the camel's camel, Luo Mengjie was so angry that he couldn't catch it, and just left like that.

The old man shivered and curled up on the ground to resist the severe pain caused by the poison. Seeing that the little master had just left, he was begging for mercy, but found that he was speechless.

"Why, do you want to ask me to let you live?" Zhong Liqing smiled gently and kindly, but his eyes were so cold that there was no warmth at all, "It's not impossible, you give me all the things you brought this time, and Tell me the purpose of your visit this time and who you should contact."

The old man's name was Cao Qian, and he was a third-class guest official of Danyang County Prince's Mansion. The alchemy can be formed in one step, this time it's not his turn to do this job, but he wants to get an obstacle-breaking pill from the second young master to increase the success rate of alchemy, so he took this job.

Now that I think about it, I fell into the trap because of a careless move, not to mention forming an alchemy, but in the end it cost my own life, I really regret it.

Although the Prince's Mansion of Danyang County is powerful, it is insignificant compared to the imminent danger of life.

Cao Qian thought about it carefully for a while, and finally nodded under Zhong Liqing's indifferent eyes, just clutching his throat and begging hoarsely: "You, save me first..."

"Actually, I gave you the antidote a long time ago, but you don't believe it." Zhong Liqing picked up the teapot and fed him some tea, nodded in his shocked and unwilling expression, "Yes, the antidote is mixed with In this tea, why are you so suspicious that you refuse to drink it?"

After drinking some warm tea, it seemed that the feeling of suffocation had indeed subsided a lot. Cao Qian panted and was about to drink more to detoxify, but Zhong Liqing withdrew her hand and looked at him with a smile.

Cao Qian understood instantly, and with a livid face, he tore off a universe bag from the waist of the dead body and handed it to Zhong Liqing.

"Open it." The latter didn't answer, but raised his chin.

The appearance of the universe bag looks much more gorgeous than the one left by Zhong Lixun, but the things it can hold are only as big as a room. Here, after estimating the total value, it is far more than a dozen spirit stones—it sounds amazing at first, but compared to the power of the Danyang County Palace, it is just a drop in the bucket—it seems that what he is looking for is not only at this auction.

Zhong Liqing guessed that this kid was a fat sheep, but he didn't expect that the harvest would be so big... This is a good deal.

Sweeping around the elixir, instruments and all kinds of natural treasures that almost filled the room, Zhong Liqing collected the useful ones unhurriedly, with a calm face, but there was also a trace of excitement in her heart: No wonder everyone said that robbing houses is the most important thing. The way to get rich quick, as long as you don't miss it, it is really worthless.

But, don't do this kind of thing too much, don't become addicted, and don't take chances.

This time it was just a coincidence: this Luo Mengjie is stupid, and the guards around him are not smart, otherwise how could we teach her to win so easily?

Even if it is easy to win the treasure, it is not easy to pursue endlessly after that.

How to deceive the mansion of the Prince of Danyang County needs a long-term plan.

Quickly counting the items, Zhong Liqing recognized the ice-attribute magic sword that was bought at the auction just now from the pile of magic weapons at a glance. Cao Qian, who was quietly adjusting his breath, nodded: "Tell me, the purpose of your collection of these things? Also, besides this kid's, where is your own Qiankun bag? If I remember correctly, I said it was... Everything. Why, are these extraneous things more important than your life?"

A monk who has built a great foundation and is still a guest of the county prince's mansion, his net worth should not be too shabby.

"When we came out this time, we were ordered to collect natural materials and earth treasures for the Prince's Mansion of Danyang County." Cao Qian said as he untied the outer shirt of his clothes in pain, revealing a small dark green hair hidden inside. Under Zhong Liqing's signal, the Qiankun bag also turned upside down.

"Tsk, I don't want to hear you say such nonsense that a discerning person can see right away. Let's get to the point." Zhong Liqing slowly drew out the sword that glowed with a cold blue light, and the cold air was quenched from the sword, as if A poisonous snake spitting out a letter was approaching the powerless Cao Qian with malicious intentions, threatening silently.

"It's just, it's just to let the prince of the county palace win the first place in the selection competition of this sect grand competition, so we need to collect heaven and earth treasures to refine rare medicines, and it is also to attract the cronies who follow the prince, except me Compared with Master Jie, the county palace also sent several other groups of troops, compared to this, Master Jie is just taking this opportunity to sneak out and let the wind go for a little trouble." Scared by the sword, Cao Qian immediately collapsed the bamboo tube Like a bean, he shook his mind clean.

——Sectarian Grand Competition?

It seems that the eldest son of this county prince's mansion has already joined the sect, and she, who is still planning to join the academy, is not the same as a casual cultivator who is still planning to join the academy. Which sect is it?

"Then Master Jie only brought you with him a guard who has not completed his golden core, so it seems that he is not taken seriously in that county's palace." Zhong Liqing raised her eyebrows and smiled contemptuously.

"That's not what I said. Although Master Jie is just a bastard, he is the younger brother of the most favored Master Lun, so no one in the palace dares to easily offend this little master—he is also because of his stubbornness. Unbearable, I threw away the guard sent to him by Master Lun, and now only the old man is with me." Cao Qian explained with a bitter face.

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have been knocked down by Zhong Liqing alone, and reduced to the point where they are now isolated and helpless.

"How did you contact the servants of the county prince's mansion? If you know that this kid is dead, let alone me, even you, the guard, will die, right?" This is why Zhong Liqing allowed Cao Qian to live until now, but The other party also didn't focus on dying with her, the reason for passing on the news.

Not doing enough to protect the lord is a serious crime, but surviving the death of the master is an even more serious sin. Even if Zhong Liqing let Cao Qian go, he will not feel better.

"Each of our guards carries a blue bird Tissot. As long as it is ignited, it can emit a unique smell and invite the messenger to locate the blue bird." Cao Qian pointed to a silver bird-shaped bird hanging around his neck. The pendant said, "As for Master Jie, once he dies, the natal card will be shattered. It will take less than a quarter of an hour for the guards on duty at the ancestral hall of the Prince's Mansion in Danyang County to find out, and the slowest they can track down here is no more than five days."

After all, he is the lord of a county, and it took five days to trace from the main city of Xindu to Yuandu, which is already very neat.

It seems that she only has five days to arrange everything and leave Yuandu.

"You are quite sensible, I'm very satisfied." Zhong Liqing flicked the blade of the sword with her fingertips, and let out a cry of invitation, with a gentle smile, and her ordinary face suddenly came alive—but Cao Qian felt a pang in her heart. Heck, it seems that the things that were planned before are not so settled.

He originally thought: After all, Luo Mengjie is dead, and he is guilty of improper guarding. If he is investigated, he may not escape death, so it would be better to place his hope on this young man and trick him into letting him go, wouldn't it be good? what?

Cao Qian thought well, but he only miscalculated one thing.

The young man with a clean and harmless smile in front of him is by no means a soft-hearted person...at least not towards him.

"Since everything that needs to be said has been said, there is no need for you to live—so, die with peace of mind." Without looking at him again, he wiped his neck with the sword in his hand.

The throat was cut flat, breathing roughly like a broken bellows... At the last moment, he died in extreme pain.

"I hate betrayal the most." Zhong Liqing said coldly after wiping the blade with his clothes.
