Peerless Protégé [Rebirth]

The two rushed to Mingxiao City. By then, the news that Xuantianlou's disciples had obtained the antidote had already spread, and Tang Xuantong specially sent someone to receive them at the door.As soon as Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili walked outside Mingxiao City and saw a few disciples standing outside waiting for them, they immediately wanted to smile, so they leaned next to Zhong Zhili and said, "Look at them, they seem to be It's very reluctant."

Zhong Zhili looked over there, and saw that several disciples were chatting together, and the disciples guarding the city gate saw them chatting and just watched them coldly, with no intention of stepping forward to stop them.

Luo Jiening took a closer look, and was very pleasantly surprised to find that among the students there was someone who had a grudge against him in his previous life——Xiang Yang!

Luo Jiening suddenly felt that his life suddenly became brighter. When the disciple saw him, he also had a face full of reluctance. The word "dislike" was written on his face, and he was about to turn around and leave. Luo Jiening deliberately mocked: "Hey, are you here to pick us up? I remember your road to Mingxiao City clearly!"

The student blushed when he heard that, but he still didn't say a word.Seeing him like this, Luo Jiening expected that he had been lectured, and didn't dare to cause trouble again.Besides, the antidote is in Luo Jiening's hands, no matter how stupid they are, they will not be so stupid as to make things difficult for Luo Jiening.

Ming Xiao City is full of towns of various sizes, and the largest town, Zishan Town, originally had a population of several hundred, but now it has lost more than half of it.And still decreasing.Naturally, Tang Xuantong was in a state of desperation. The emergence of poison|drugs in Ming Xiao City was beyond his expectation, because after all, it was Wuchenxuan's territory. Who would be so rampant, and put poison here?

After being approached by the city, the two went directly to Tang Xuantong.Tang Xuantong asked clearly about the antidote, only Yaoshan No. [-] antidote king, because he had antidote people in Wuchenxuan before, so he was quite trustworthy.Luo Jiening was very curious. The incident in Yuzhou was quite a big deal at the beginning. After all, so many people died, and Xuantianlou also sent people there. Why didn't the old man show up at that time?

They then met the disciples of Biyun Mansion staying in Mingxiao City, those disciples Luo Jiening looked familiar, they must be masters.After Luo Jiening handed over the antidote, he said, "We don't know if this antidote is real yet."

The student shook the jug and said, "I'll go and test it." Immediately, he took the jug and led some people to the town outside.Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili were placed in the city with nothing to do, and they went to see those who were poisoned.

Shancheng Town is the largest town in Mingxiao City, but it is a little smaller than Jiuquan Town. The reason why this town develops the best is that it is close to the location of Wuchenxuan, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is a majestic green mountain, and the middle part passes through a river flowing from the north. It has been lived here for generations, and the people are happy and happy.

When Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili arrived in the town, they were greeted with a bleak air. The whole town was quiet, as if no one had ever lived there. Not even cats and dogs could be seen on the road, it was desolate.

Luo Jiening couldn't help sighing: "This situation seems to be more serious than that in Yuzhou."

When I went to the town of Yuzhou, although many people died, the street market was extremely lively. There was no anxiety or fear on everyone's face, and they were able to watch the excitement together, which showed how good their mentality was.But here, it's already too much to avoid.

Zhong Zhili said: "Maybe they are all at home and didn't come out."

The two found a disciple to guide them, the disciple said: "The corpses have been disposed of, we don't know how the poison spread, and now there are still people poisoned, it is impossible to control it."

Zhong Zhili asked: "Who were poisoned? Is it only men?"

The disciple shook his head and said, "Not only that, there are men and women, and children too."

Luo Jiening asked again: "Then, when did you find out? How did you find out?"

The disciple said: "About more than ten days ago, the government suddenly received a report saying that someone died for no reason, and the death condition was ugly. The government sent people to look at it. They thought it was strange, so we sent people here. Take a look. Only then did I realize that it was the same poison as in Yuzhou. There was no antidote to the poison, and it was discovered too late. There were more than a hundred people in this town, but now there are less than 100 left."

"Less than 100 people?!" Luo Jiening said in surprise, "No wonder it's so deserted."

Luo Jiening was even more surprised by the sad expressions on the faces of the students. In his opinion, Wuchenxuan was already synonymous with cold-bloodedness. How could they care about the hundreds of deaths caused by the flood of poison|drugs?

The disciple said: "They are not hiding at home, in itself, there are no people living in those houses."

Luo Jiening pondered for a moment, and said: "If the disciples of Biyun Mansion can't produce the antidote, will these people all die? But, it's not contagious."

The disciple said: "We have been looking for why they were poisoned, and the first thing that came to mind was what they ate. But the rest of these people have to eat every day, so it must not be poisonous in the food they eat."

Zhong Zhili reminded: "Could it be that the river was poisoned?"

The disciple shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, because these people depend on that river for a living, so how come some people didn't die? Let's check that river, and it's not poisonous."

Luo Jiening frowned, and said: "Your river, I have felt strange for a long time. You see, you are in the lower reaches of the river, and any silt should be stored in the lower reaches, but the river here even It is so clear that you can see the sand and rocks at the bottom of the river, and there are a lot of fish and shrimps here. Logically speaking, shouldn’t they all be salvaged by the people upstream? How can they still be left here? Of course, if you want to say that there is no Chen Xuan issued an order that residents in the upper and middle reaches are not allowed to fish, so I have nothing to say."

The disciple heard him talk a lot, but before he realized why he was so familiar with this place, he heard Luo Jiening say again: "Besides, if the poison is poisoned in the river, it must be released from the lower reaches, but this city of Ming Xiao There are so many towns, the mountain town is the one at the top, the one on the top is poisoned, how come the ones below are not poisoned? Could it be that the people in your mountain town have sucked up all the poison?"

What he said made the disciple speechless, and he didn't know where to start with his question.Zhong Zhili said: "If you poison the middle or upper reaches, how can the people above be okay? What's even more strange is that everyone knows that the mountain town is closest to your Wuchenxuan, who would dare to put poison in the river blatantly?"

Luo Jiening continued, "Could it be a fisherman?"

Seeing that they were going to blame them, the disciple hurriedly said: "We have never issued an order that people in the upper and middle reaches are not allowed to fish. It is only because the mountains and rivers are good that there is an endless supply of fish and shrimp. Moreover, because this river is shared by Mingxiao City , so the fish and shrimp in the river are shared by everyone. The town will send people to catch fish and shrimp and distribute them to every household in every town. The people who fish and shrimp are very famous people must not They will hide it in secret, they are very popular among the people, so the possibility of them poisoning is very small. As for why the town behind is not poisoned, we are also investigating. The mountain town is next to Wolong Town, but none of the people in Wolong Town has been poisoned .”

Luo Jiening squinted his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Then tell me, could it be that there is something wrong with those fish and shrimp? It just so happens that there is a problem with the fish and shrimp in Shancheng Town?"

The disciple shook his head again, and said: "After the accident, we suspected it, so it was forbidden to catch fish and shrimp, but if you don't eat it, you will still be poisoned."

Luo Jiening sighed, and said: "Then it looks like there must be something hidden."

The disciple asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

Luo Jiening glanced at Zhong Zhili, raised his eyebrows again, and said with a smile: "Why are people from your mountain towns poisoned? As far as I know, that kind of poison only appeared in Yuzhou, and at that time we When I went to investigate this matter, I found the person who poisoned me and his little girl who I saw with my own eyes at that time. Now, that girl is also missing. She was the only one who had seen the person who poisoned me. Once she disappeared, there was someone here at the same time. Poisoned, you say, what does it matter?"

The disciple opened his mouth wide in surprise, stared at Luo Jiening blankly, and said after a long while: "Is there such a thing?"

At that time, they went directly to Hufeng Town after returning from Yuzhou, Li Mingyan and Nan Wang didn't say anything about it, people outside only thought that they came back after walking for a while, naturally no one knew about Li Mingyan.Luo Jiening's eyes sank, and he asked: "Your tone, is it possible that you don't know that little girl? Didn't your head tell you?"

Zhong Zhili shifted his gaze to him, only to hear the disciple say: "What little girl?"

This tone doesn't look like acting, if it is, then it can be regarded as an actor.Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili looked at each other, and then changed the subject: "Then, look, is there someone who is behind the scenes, moving that little girl out, and then acting against you?"

The disciple was so frightened by his words that his face turned pale, he backed away again and again, his eyes moved back and forth on Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili, and said, "Are you serious?"

Luo Jiening smiled and said, "Can there be fakes?"

The disciple turned around as if in shock, leaving only one sentence: "You two sons, I will report to the master first!"

Looking at his hasty back, Luo Jiening smiled even more presumptuously, pulling Zhong Zhili's sleeve until he could not straighten up.Zhong Zhili knew that this person was teasing people again, and he probably wanted to talk about that student because he saw how handsome he was, so he said indifferently: "Yanyan just disappeared a few days ago, you really know how to turn black and white."

"Eh?!" Luo Jiening shook his fingers and smiled, "I'm not calling black and white, anyway, their Wuchenxuan has always been unscrupulous, so it's okay to scare them, it's just a sense of crisis. Speaking of which, I It's a scene of their warmth."

Zhong Zhili said in a low voice: "It's not really warm. The mountain town carries all the secrets of Wuchenxuan, it's okay to die, but if there is a traitor, it will be troublesome."

Luo Jiening glanced at Zhong Zhili inscrutablely, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why did you speak ill of them? Brother Zhili?"

Zhong Zhili and Gu Zi moved his hand away, walked forward, and said, "Go and ask someone."

Luo Jiening hurriedly followed his footsteps, and said with a smile: "If you poison first and then arrest people, nothing will change. In the end, their Wuchenxuan has become a shackle."

Zhong Zhili froze his body and turned to look at him.But seeing that Luo Jiening walked past him without changing his face, there was still a smile on his lips, and seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, he turned around and smiled faintly at Zhong Zhili, and said, "Is it so?" Isn't it?"
