Chapter 58: The Yellow Gate is Poisoned
So whether Sun Yixie and Chunkong's actions were going well, I won't say this for the time being. Let's talk about it in two ways. Let's talk about it earlier this night...that was the third hour of Hai.
Huang Donglai followed You Jing out of the head of the Tianqi Gang and headed straight to the Bugui Tower.
At this point, there were not many pedestrians on the street. The two of them walked along the way and did not encounter any people or things.
On the way, Huang Donglai wanted to talk to You Jing several times, but the other party just used perfunctory or concealed methods such as "Yes", "Yes", and "I don't know" to deal with him.
Huang Donglai understood that You Jing should be the type who cannot insert the needle and cannot spill it in. He is extremely good at keeping secrets. It is unlikely to use conventional methods to obtain information from him. Of course, he didn't think things would be so easy...
When Sun and Huang made plans, they had already speculated that tonight the Lord would send someone to take Huang Donglai to somewhere and give medicine to Huang Donglai in the name of taking medicine or treating him. However, they did not expect that the place they went would be the one who would not return to the building, nor did they expect that the person who led the way would be You Jing.
But since things have come to this point, Huang Donglai can only adapt to the situation.
Not long after, Huang Donglai followed You Jing to the door of Buguilou.
As mentioned earlier, this restaurant has been doing well in the evenings. Although the martial arts heroes who participated in the hero banquet tonight cannot come to visit, there is still more than 50% attendance in the lobby on the first floor.
Fortunately, Huang Donglai and You Jing were not eye-catching at first, and people who were not in the world did not know Huang Donglai, so when they walked through the lobby and walked up the second floor, not many people paid attention to them.
After arriving at the "Zhixian Pavilion" on the second floor, Xue Tui would not come out to welcome guests without anyone notifying him, and Yuan Fangzhi and Zhang Ergui from the kitchen would not come out.
Therefore, You Jing led Huang Donglai directly to the "Sifeiju" on the third floor.
Why give this name to this layer? It's very simple. It's Gu Qiying reminding himself that what he does is dirty after all, and it's the most despised vicious act in the world.
The method of "Guzhi" is different from using poison. The purpose of using poison is nothing more than to kill people or hurt people. This is actually the same as using martial arts or hidden weapons to hurt people. However, "Guzhi" means that people cannot survive, and cannot die. Life is worse than death, and they cannot die well... It is really contrary to human nature.
To be a metaphor, one is similar to killing enemy soldiers with weapons in war, and the other is similar to torture prisoners of war to death with extremely cruel methods.
Bai Ruhong is a living example. Even if a person like him is defeated one day and falls into the hands of his enemies, the other party will simply kill him with one sword or stab him a few more times to vent his anger. But the way he is tortured now is that even a person from the evil sect... will not be able to use such a bad move.
However, Gu Qiying and Shen Youran could do such a thing, just because they kept holding the banner of "revenge" and slowly turned it into something similar to faith. So, without realizing it, they convinced themselves and gradually felt that anything was OK...
And the name "Sifeiju" is just a form, just like an edict issued by the emperor to him to deceive his conscience and show it to others, as if he had really accepted the wrong one, or as if he had really paid the corresponding price.
"Brother You, why is it so dark here?" After reaching the third floor, Huang Donglai immediately asked this question.
But he also understood why after entering the Bugui Tower You Jing told him not to put down the lantern in his hand.
"This is the master's arrangement." You Jing did not explain the specific purpose, just this sentence was enough; after saying this, he immediately changed the subject, "Young Master Huang, I'll go get you medicine, you can wait here for a while."
"Ah, okay, go." Huang Donglai agreed casually.
You Jing glanced at him again, then turned around and walked towards the depths of the third floor.
Because he and Huang Donglai each had a lantern in their hands when they went out, after he left, Huang Donglai still had something to illuminate, otherwise he would be in such a place in the middle of the night.
But in fact... it's useless to see.
The layout of the third floor is mainly divided into three areas: the first area is the place after coming up from the stairs. It is basically an empty buffer space with nothing and no place to sit. Huang Donglai is standing here now.
The second area is the boss, that is, Gu Qiying's room. The door of the room is on the edge of the first area. Now that Gu Qiying is not there, the door is naturally closed; and what is there in the room... Even You Jing is not particularly clear, because when he goes in to deliver food and pours a chamber pot, he always goes in and out quickly, and he doesn't stay for too long, and he doesn't dare to look around.
The third area is also the largest group of spaces on the third floor, connected by a corridor in the corner of the first area; walk in and around the master's room, and behind it are several larger rooms, piled up with various materials and tools needed for refining Gu. There are also two rooms similar to "laboratory", one is heated by a stove all year round, and the other is filled with thousands of years of ice to make cold.
What You Jing was going to at this time was a warehouse with various finished Gu. Gu Qiying told him to take the "Baishun Pill" for Huang Donglai, the real name was "Baishun Pill". After being infected with the Gu, he had to take specific antidotes regularly, otherwise he would suffer from the pain of the heart-devouring of the insects.
The effect of this Gu is not as powerful as the Jile Gu. Moreover, its finished product is a pill that looks very large and tastes very strong. Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that someone will take it voluntarily. However, now it is natural to let him eat it in the name of "treat Huang Donglai for treating abnormalities in his body".
Soon, You Jing came back with a white porcelain medicine bottle the size of a palm. Huang Donglai still stood there, seemingly never walking away.
"Young Master Huang, the medicine has been taken." You Jing said, and handed over the medicine bottle.
Huang Donglai took the medicine bottle casually, opened the mouth of the bottle and poured out one, then came closer to smell it: "Lone! Damn!"
He suddenly shouted loudly, which scared You Jing.
"What's the smell? It's fishy and rinsed. You can't even mix it with garlic with folded ears, right?" Huang Donglai said, shaking his head, "No, no... Such a big pill, and it tastes like this. It's definitely not OK to swallow it. It's possible to choke to death."
"Uh..." When You Jing heard this, he thought that this was reasonable. Not to mention Huang Dong's arrival, he felt reluctant to let him go, so he continued, "Sorry, I'm not paying attention. I'll pour a cup of tea for the young master now."
Speaking of this, he was about to turn around and leave, but it was wrong to think about it...
"Wait... this kid wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain and then change the medicine while I am not paying attention, right?" At this moment, You Jing thought to himself, and his steps stopped unconsciously, and his eyes didn't dare to move away from Huang Donglai.
However, in name, he was ordered to get Huang Donglai's anti-aging medicine, so there was no reason to be on guard against the other party like this. Besides... there was no sign that Huang Donglai was on guard against him. If his operation caused the other party's suspicion, wouldn't it be a mistake?
Just when You Jing was hesitating, unexpectedly...
"Hey~ Why did you go and pour it out?" Huang Donglai took the initiative to relieve him. "It's dark here, there is not even a place to sit. Wouldn't we just go down together?"
You Jing thought it was right, why did I have to let him swallow the medicine here? Besides, I was going downstairs to pour water for him.
"Oh! Yes, Mr. Huang's words are reasonable." Thinking of this, You Jing nodded quickly and took the opportunity to go down the donkey, "Then... Mr. Huang please..."
"Okay." Huang Donglai agreed, then raised his hand and tried to put the medicine bottle in his arms with a very natural movement.
"Hey!" Seeing this, You Jing was nervous again and couldn't help but shout.
"Huh? What's wrong?" In this second, Huang Donglai's hand was halfway through, and half of the medicine bottle was already inside his clothes. But when he heard You Jing's call, he stopped before the medicine bottle was about to leave the other party's sight.
"I'll take this medicine bottle for the young master first." You Jing was also ignorant, "not that the young master's clothes would be covered with the fishy smell."
"Ah? Oh yes." Huang Donglai made a sudden realization expression, then took out the medicine bottle with disgust and stuffed it back into You Jing's hand, "Yes, yes... hurry up, come and take it. When I'm ready to eat, you just give it to me."
You Jing took the medicine bottle and looked carefully. It was indeed the same bottle. Combined with Huang Donglai's reaction, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "It seems that this kid is really unprepared. I am thinking too much."
So, You Jing put the medicine bottle in his arms and made a "please" gesture.
Huang Donglai passed by him slowly and walked along the stairs to the second floor, while You Jing followed closely behind.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the reception hall on the second floor.
Huang Dong came to find a chair and sat down casually. You Jing ran to pour him tea; the hot water was ready-made, and You Jing came back in less than two minutes.
"Young master, the tea has arrived... it's not very hot." You Jing poured a cup of tea for Huang Donglai, and finally did not forget to add a sentence that seemed to be urging him to take medicine as soon as possible.
Huang Donglai replied, "Oh, okay, Brother You, you can sit down too."
"No, You are just a servant... It's appropriate to stand." Although You Jing's martial arts skills are much higher than Huang Donglai, he did not act in any way and his attitude is still polite. After all, the order he received from his master was just to drug Huang Donglai, rather than turning against him or silence him.
"It's okay, now you and me are both. Besides, everyone is serving the Lord. If you stand and I sit, how uncomfortable I am?" Huang Dong said, showing a very kind attitude, "Hey, Brother You, if you don't sit again, I can stand up too..."
"I can't do it... I'll sit down." You Jing had to sit down now, but he didn't sit down well. He only sat half a stool, his upper body was stretched straight, and he didn't dare to lean on the back of the chair, as if he was about to get up at any time.
During the next period of waiting for the tea to cool down, there was no conversation between the two, which was a little embarrassed.
However, the silence did not last long, and Huang Donglai spoke first: "Brother You, it's almost done, give me the medicine."
"Okay." You Jing responded and immediately reached out to get the medicine in his arms, but...
"Hiss-" When he reached into his arms, a stinging pain suddenly came from You Jing's hand. However, as a martial arts practitioner, he could still bear the pain of this level, so he endured the pain and took out the medicine bottle.
At this time, You Jing realized that the color of the bottle had changed. It was a white porcelain bottle, but it had turned gray-brown now. The pain on his hands was also stained with this color.
He looked down again and saw that something was wrong... part of the color had dyed his coat, and it was located near his heart.
"Um--" At this moment, he realized that his heart seemed to hurt a little...
"What's wrong? Brother You, do you feel a little breathless?" Huang Donglai was very careful. While asking this, he had already stood up from the chair and took a few steps back to stay away from You Jing.
"You!" You Jing knew that he had a trap and quickly got lucky, trying to use his internal strength to seal the acupoints in his heart.
However... if he doesn't do anything, his heart stops beating as soon as he does.
In less than a minute, You Jing fell to the ground and died.
Huang Dong looked at the other party's body and snorted coldly, saying to himself: "Play with me...hehe...just you?"
…………
It didn't take Huang Donglai much time to move You Jing's body back to the third floor. After all, Brother Huang just couldn't use his internal strength, and the strength of the martial arts practitioners was still there.
After setting up the body, Huang Donglai first dealt with the bottle that was already poisoned, and then searched You Jing, but he found nothing except a soft sword hidden on his waist - he didn't even have a key.
This is very strange...
Huang Donglai knew that the boss of Buguilou, that is, the Lord lived in the "Sifeiju" on the third floor. On the night he and Sun Yixie came to have dinner, they had already learned about this in a chat with Xue Tui. After all, this is not a secret, and many people in the city knew about it.
However, as the confidant who delivers food to the boss every day, he doesn’t have the key to any room on the third floor, which is obviously abnormal. Even if the boss’s room key is carried by the boss himself, You Jing must have the key to other rooms, otherwise how did he open the door when he went to the back room to get medicine?
Huang Donglai would not ignore this kind of abnormality. He and Sun Yixie are both extremely cautious people... Especially when he is taking risks, the shrewdness and prudence of the two will instantly increase the level of their abilities.
Huang Donglai stood there thinking for a moment, then picked up the sword on You Jing's waist and cut off one of You Jing's hands cleanly. When the excess blood on the hand was almost flowing, Huang Donglai used his hand to hold You Jing's hand and gently pushed the door of the Lord's room.
Huang Donglai didn't know that this room was the Lord's room at this time, because no one had told him that it was just that the door of this room could see the first door after stepping onto the third floor, so he tried it out.
zhi—yi—
The wooden door panel was slowly pushed open, causing a scattered noise in the darkness.
This door is not locked at all.
Huang Donglai reacted very quickly. After he found that the door was not locked, his first move was to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeves; this... can also be said to be the basic cultivation of a person from the Poison Family.
You have arrived at a place where you should have very valuable things, but the entrance to this place is not hidden and there are no garrison measures at all. Why? There are only two possibilities: First, the owner here is a mentally retarded; second, in fact, "has a garrison", it's just that you can't see it.
At this moment, Huang Donglai took advantage of the light of the lantern and glanced inside the door. When he saw a lit incense burner in the corner of the room, he immediately confirmed that this was an anti-theft measure, at least one of them.
Thinking of this, he quickly walked into the house with his mouth and nose covering his mouth and nose, wiped out the incense burner, and then quickly exited the room and opened the door of the room.
Chapter completed!
