Chapter 131 Antidote
She was afraid that she would not be able to catch up, so she asked Jingchen: "I will go find Cui Ren now. If he doesn't hand over the antidote, I will kill him. What do you think my chances of winning are?"
Jingchen replied: "I am not familiar with the faction, composition, and disciples of Wenxin Sect. Are you familiar with them?"
She was stuck when asked this question. She was certainly not familiar with it. Jingchen's question was... also very strange, as if he was telling her implicitly that he had already noticed that she had been possessed by another spirit.
She didn't have time to take care of her own affairs, so she quickly changed the subject: "You mean, we two can't beat him, and he might have a disciple from the mountain gate who can be his bodyguard?"
"Of course fighting is easy. I'm just afraid that it will be difficult for you to control the affairs in the mountain gate afterwards. If you force your way through, how will those innocent disciples of the Wenxin Sect who were implicated look at you? After all, the Wenxin Sect is also a famous and upright sect. Moreover, most of them should have been brainwashed by Cui Ren, and they already have complaints about you behind your back. If you kill the current sect leader, it will be extremely difficult to silence the gossips afterwards." Jingchen was very sober and rational, and was advising her to think twice before acting.
It's not possible to force it, there are indeed risks. Jingchen's suggestion just now was to use wits, but she was not familiar with the people and things in the mountain gate, so she couldn't use this method. But she couldn't afford to waste time with the poison of the junior master's uncle. Mu Hanxing was furious.
"I brought some elixirs that can temporarily relieve his poison symptoms. During this period, you will have to rely on me to find the antidote. If you want to look for a medicine, I probably know the place." Qionghua continued.
"Where are they? What kind of medicine are they?" Mu Hanxing asked again. If one way is blocked, he will try another one.
As he was asking, there was a noise at the door. Jingchen quickly moved to the door, signaled to Mu Hanxing with his eyes, and asked her how to deal with it.
Mu Hanxing immediately thought of a solution. She patted Qionghua and asked her to hide in the inner room temporarily. After all, she was a disciple of the Wenxin Sect, and there was nothing to be afraid of going down to the mortal world with her followers and returning to the mountain to visit.
Then, she gave Jingchen a calm look in return. Jingchen understood and stood behind her to face it calmly.
Mu Hanxing walked forward and opened the door. Standing outside the door was a disciple holding medicine. The disciple was frightened when he saw her: "Ghost, ghost!!!"
"What the hell is this?" Mu Hanxing asked coldly.
"City Lord Mu has come down to earth to visit the mountain gate." Jing Chen explained behind him.
The disciple took a close look at the man behind Mu Hanxing and swallowed his saliva. He might have heard rumors that Mu Hanxing was not dead and brought a peerless master back to the mountain gate, so he quickly calmed down. With trembling hands, he held up the medicine bowl and said tremblingly, "This, this is the Yunshan Snow Mist that the master gave to Elder Tang. Please taste it, Master Tang."
Tea?
She was very alert and asked, "When does this Yunshan Snow Mist usually arrive? Is it only delivered to Elder Tang?"
The disciple was just a tea server, and could not smell any ulterior motives, so he answered honestly, "Yes, every seven days, the master ordered me to deliver tea to Elder Tang, saying that the tea leaves are renewed every seven days, so he wanted the elder to taste the new tea."
Ah.
"Give it to me, I'll take it to Junior Master." Mu Hanxing took the "tea" and said.
"Then, then the disciple will take his leave!" The disciple was so scared when he saw her that his face turned pale. He finished his work and ran away quickly.
As soon as the door closed, the two exchanged glances, and Jing Chen said, "Let's let the Honorable One identify it."
"Of course." She brought the "tea" to the inner room and said to Qionghua, "Take a look and see if this is the antidote."
"Okay." Qionghua took it immediately.
The result was just as the two had expected. The tea was indeed mixed with the antidote for the heart attack. Every seven days, Cui Ren gave Tang Huanyun the antidote. If he did not obey orders, the antidote would not be delivered again. This was the method of controlling Tang Huanyun for a long time.
After confirming that there was no other poison in the tea, Qionghua fed the unconscious Tang Huanyun the antidote.
After the three of them waited for a while, they saw Tang Huanyun wake up.
When he woke up again, the pain in his body had eased, but he still looked exhausted.
Mu Hanxing hurried over and called out to him, "Uncle Junior, today's antidote has been delivered. How do you feel now?"
Tang Huanyun looked at her, still most worried about her situation: "I'm fine, much better, you can leave quickly, Junior Master is not kidding you."
"I won't leave, Junior Uncle. You were not in your right mind when the poison took effect just now. You said that my master's death was suspicious, and you said that you can only rely on me now. How could I leave you here and let Cui Ren control you with poison?"
Tang Huanyun was still pale and looked weak. His lips trembled, and he just risked his life and said seriously, "Xing'er...help me up. Junior Master has something to tell you."
"it is good."
Tang Huanyun practiced his Qi for a while, and when his body felt better, he got out of bed and said to the people in the room, "You two are from Fuyue City, right? I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of my nephew."
"It is the city lord who takes care of us." Qionghua quickly replied.
"I haven't thanked you for your treatment yet, thank you very much." Tang Huanyun said politely to Qionghua.
Qionghua held up her long sleeves, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Since you are the city lord's uncle, there is no need to be polite. The antidote was sent by someone else, so I didn't provide any service."
"Forget the pleasantries. We don't have time for that, Junior Master. Please put them in a safe place. I also have a lot to talk to you about in private." She couldn't wait to interrupt. She had a lot of questions to ask Junior Master.
"Okay, come with me, I'll take you somewhere."
Tang Huanyun temporarily placed Jingchen and Qionghua in a training room in his backyard. No one would break in here without a secret order, so it was a temporarily safe place.
Then Tang Huanyun quickly took Mu Hanxing away.
At this moment, the training room was completely quiet.
There were only some simple furnishings and a stone table inside. The two people were not familiar with each other to begin with, and being locked in the same room made them even more taciturn. Jingchen was not the type who liked to flatter or get along well with others, so he just sat beside the stone table with his eyes closed, thinking without saying a word.
Qionghua was a bit colder in temperament and she was always quiet. She also sat on the other side of the stone table in silence. But after a while, she couldn't help but speak first: "The city lord gave me a generous reward last time, and then it was Mr. Jing who troubled me to distribute two more gold leaves every month to me. Thank you very much."
Jing Chen's appearance was no different from those experienced veterans in the court. He smiled faintly, bowed his head and said respectfully: "I am following orders. This is my duty. If that's the case, there's no need for you to thank me."
Qionghua looked at him suspiciously, feeling that this man was a hidden talent.
