Chapter 7 Strange Taste (Thanks to Yin Bai's monthly pass)

Jingling City was very peaceful at night, and the lively sound of the market was gone during the day. The potters who worked in the entire Cheng Family Kiln House also returned to the nearby slums. There were only some guards and kiln firemen in the kiln house, watching over the fire day and night. Cheng Jia was checking the accounts with Cheng Tong and several accounting rooms, while Mi Huang, Cheng Qingqing and others went back to their rooms to rest.

On the long summer night, Mi Huang's vigilance gradually faded over time, but she still had no rest. She followed them during the day and was finally lost by Ya's people, so Mi Huang couldn't find clues to determine who was trying to track them and why.

But Mi Huang, who has been in the deep palace for many years, always felt that there was something wrong with this group of people. Could it be that Yue Jiao took action in advance? But seeing that these people's behavior was not like the noble children of the Imperial Guard, he could only continue to look through the "Soldier Book" he accompanied and sorted out his thoughts.

Just as Mi Huang was reading a book, time passed little by little. When it was almost midnight, she looked up and looked at the moon outside the window hanging in the night sky hidden in the clouds, very light, until it was no longer clear.

In this moment, it seems that it is at its darkest moment.

Around the building and the kiln were also lit up.

Almost dark and sad.

Except for a heavy earthy smell in the air in the kiln, a strange fragrance was mixed in at some point, which was very similar to the smell she smelled at the stall in the market today.

It drifts from far to near by the wind.

Because it was midnight, except for Siqin who was accompanying him, Sishu had already gone to bed. Even the workers watching the fire in the entire kiln squinted their eyes and took a nap. Only Cheng Jia's tent at the tent was still on, and the cicadas who had been crying for the middle of the night seemed to be sleepy.

There is quiet between heaven and earth.

Wen Jing was so quiet that Mi Huang rubbed her eyes, and finally felt very tired, laughed at herself and secretly blamed herself for being suspicious.

However, several followers made her nervous for the middle of the night. If she continued like this, she was afraid that the children in her belly would suffer as well, so she got up and prepared to go to bed to rest.

Just as she turned around, a soft sound rang outside the high wall of the kiln.

Very light.

But she heard it.

I don't know where it came from, hidden in the chaotic night, and it sounded and fell inadvertently, very regular.

Mi Huang immediately clenched the dagger between her wrist, and patted Siqin who was about to fall asleep beside her, raised her finger and slapped her finger, then pointed to outside the high wall of the kilnyard, which seemed to be a black roof slowly sailing along the high wall. Listening to the sound carefully, it should be the sound of horseshoes and wheels wrapped in cloth.

It's midnight, who will visit without sleeping?

Siqin immediately nervously took out her poisonous hidden weapon from her hidden bag and held it in the palm of her hand.

The two saw a black carriage parked outside the gate of the kilnyard. The guards at the door seemed to have no reaction and slowly opened the door. However, there seemed to be no one on the tightly wrapped carriage, not even the coachman, just like a horse walking here by himself.

The quietness around sets off this scene is very strange and there is a hint of incisiveness.

The fragrance in the air is even more intense.

While he was stunned, Siqin let out a low voice and whispered, "Is that Cheng Tongguan? Why did he hold a stack of bricks in the middle of the night?"

When Mi Huang heard the sound, she saw a black shadow walking slowly towards the gate with a stack of bricks in her arms. The guards on both sides had no intuition or even did not salute. Cheng Tong passed by them and moved the bricks into the carriage.

Every move seems to be a demon.

It looks very creepy.

She felt something was wrong, "Let's go and tell Cheng Jia, don't let someone take advantage of the loopholes in the kiln."

"Um!"

Si Qin followed and woke Si Shu up casually.

When he went out, he called Ya, who was guarding the door, and briefly talked about the situation outside. Mi Huang took Ya and Siqin downstairs first, and then someone went to call Cheng Jiahe's manager.

Everyone was carrying yellow lanterns, and yellow lights suddenly appeared in the dark workshop. When they arrived at the gate, they saw that the manager Cheng suddenly fainted on the ground. The bricks in his hand were all scattered all over the ground, and the guards guarding the door fainted unknowingly.

But the ownerless carriage suddenly ran wildly. At that moment, Mi Huang seemed to see a pair of very dark eyes from the black carriage, which were darker than the night, but very pure.

She knew that there must be someone in the car. The dagger in her hand shot out and wanted to stab the running horse to stop the carriage from leaving, but she saw a sharp arrow shot from the carriage, extremely fast and directly approaching her face.

Amid the screams of everyone's "protecting the girl", Mi Huang shouted, "Doway!"

Everyone quickly dispersed, and the dagger that flew out had time to cut off a little cold arrow flying from the air. The arrow and the dagger landed at the same time with a "clang" sound.

The carriage accelerated and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

At this time, Mi Huang was a little angry, angry at the feeling of fog, trapping herself. She was like a trapped beast that was deeply trapped in many conspiracies and could not find a way out. She glared at the black carriage in anger and left a black shadow in the deep alley, and ordered loudly, "Chase!"

"Yes, the lady!"

Ya followed the two ruts left on the ground and immediately took people to chase after him on horseback. However, when he chased a crossroads, three rut lines appeared, leading to the other three directions of the crossroads.

There are also three carriage bodies.

All are exactly the same.

"Damn it! Which side is it?"

Yaming turned his horse's head anxiously, looked at the alleys in the dark slums, and ordered, "We will divide it into three directions and continue chasing, and we must catch these people."

"Yes, head!"

The secret guards were divided into three groups and chased them in three directions.

Cheng Jia and Mi Huang also arrived one after another. Looking at the three direction marks left by Ya, they frowned deeply. Their eyes met and felt that they could not be caught. Cheng Tong’s guard fainted and seemed to be awake no matter how he shouted.

"What do these people want to do?"

Cheng Jia's pair of eyebrows that had not been condensed for a long time gathered deeply in Chengchuan.

Mi Huang took a light breath, and there was a scent that seemed to be there and vaguely in his nose. Although it was getting lighter and lighter, it was exactly the same as the smell I smelled in the kiln house, and he lingered beside them, "Cheng Jia, do you smell a strange fragrance in the air?"

After saying that, she suddenly retching on the wall.

This smell made her disgusted, just like the sleeping pills prescribed by Ruo Ao Ziyan and Yi Lao. If you smell too much, you will feel dizzy and you will feel that the characters and street scenes in front of her are not clearly visible.

"Mi Huang, how are you?"

Cheng Jia went forward worriedly.

"I'm fine, it's just that it tastes so weird..."

Mi Huang leaned against the wall, clenched her fist, suppressing the discomfort in her chest, and holding her forehead with the other hand, feeling her mind getting dizzy.

"Hurry up and hold your breath. The smell may be poisonous and it is not good for you and the children in your stomach." Cheng Jia looked at Mi Huang as if it seemed to be getting worse and wrong, and said anxiously.

"Um."

Mi Huang nodded and held her breath and stopped talking, but it was too late. She just felt her whole body was soft, as if someone had pulled away all the strength from her body, and then fainted. Cheng Jia had no time to catch her.

"Come on, hurry back to the boat!"

After they quickly left, a tall and large young man helped up a thin and weak young man beside him, "Wu'er, okay, they're leaving."

"Then let's go back, brother!"

A gentle voice said.

"Well, I'll carry you."

I saw a tall young man holding a thin young man, climbing up the high wall, then throwing a silver baht in the yard, then rushing out to the periphery of the slums, and running away to the outside of the slums. The young man put his arms around the shoulders of the man beneath his body, and his legs floated weakly in the night, drooping straight down.

"Brother, when I left just now, the woman seemed to like me, and the look she looked at me was so cute."

"Is that so? Why do I just see that she hates you?" The young man with him on his back frowned slightly.

"Is that true? I think she likes it..."

"Hate it is like it."

"You don't understand!"

A string of loose laughter flowed happily in the city. The young man leaned tightly on his elder brother's broad shoulders and kept saying, "It's a pity... they discovered it too early, otherwise it would have been done. Our trip would not be in vain."

"Okay, don't think about it anymore. Since we have lost money when we come to Chu, we should hurry to Qin. The food can be sold out." The young man said disagreeingly.

"Brother, then we will lose the shipping fee."

"No, you have to earn it back!"

The thin young man shook his head stubbornly.

The two people were as one, gradually blending into the night.

However, because of their arrival, the whole night was brightly lit and searching for people everywhere. Cheng Qingqing, who was sleeping heavily, was woken up by Yi Yun in a noise, and covered her head and said, "It's not dawn, why are you quarreling?"

"Miss, wake up quickly!"

"There was something wrong with the woman. She fainted innocently and hadn't woken up yet."

Yiyun had never seen the second young master look so nervous. She got angry with everyone and scolded them all. She was checking whether there were any internal ghosts in the kiln.

"What?"

Cheng Qingqing rubbed her eyes and sat up with weakness all over her body. Why did she feel so weak? But she also knew that the situation was serious, and then pushed Cheng Fei, who was also sleeping heavily beside her. However, the little Cheng Fei seemed to have entered a deep sleep, her eyes closed, she lay on the bed motionless, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she called.

Cheng Qingqing cursed, "Damn it! Fei'er, why are you sleeping so hard? You won't have any illness, right?"

Yi Yun and Qiao Yun also pinched Cheng Fei's people.

But it's useless.

Cheng Fei was like falling asleep without any sense.

Qiaoyun said in a scared manner, "Miss, the symptoms of the young master are exactly the same as those of the manager. Young master... he won't be possessed by evil spirits, right?"

"Yes, I heard that the grand girl is the same. She has been sent back to the ship to seek medical treatment. Miss, let's go back quickly! Otherwise, if something happens to the young master, the eldest lady will definitely blame us." Eyun said worriedly.

"Um!"

Everyone packed up their things quickly and quickly returned to the ship.
