Chapter Thirty-Four: Praying Mantis Catching Cicada Who Is The Oriole?
"Mr. Tang, you are so right! How could I turn a blind eye to such an important issue?"
Xue Xichen suddenly put down her hands, stood up straight, patted the dirt on her skirt, rubbed her shoes against the ground, and said leisurely: "Mr. Tang, thank you for the reminder, I will keep it in mind, little lady."
"You-how could you-you-"
Tang Qingzhu was surprised, pointed at Xue Xichen, and took a few steps back. He was a little slurred for a moment, "How could you be okay..."
"Mr. Tang, you underestimate the power of my wife."
Following that careless tone, she walked leisurely in a bright red shirt from far to near, walking through the flowerbed with gorgeous flowers, and walked here leisurely. Seeing him, Xue Xichen smiled happily and joked: "I thought you were being raped.
Is the eldest lady of the Tang family done?"
"Thank you for your concern, madam!"
Feng Qingge walked gracefully, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a charming smile, which once again surprised Tang Qingzhu. Tang Qingzhu looked at Xue Xichen in disbelief, then at Feng Qingge, and murmured in shock, "It's impossible - impossible -
- This is impossible - absolutely impossible!"
"Why isn't it possible?"
Xue Xichen tapped her lips with her index finger, with a cute and cute look on her face, "Because no one in the world can cure the poison of Tang Sect?"
"You - this is impossible!"
Tang Qingzhu pointed at Xue Xichen from a distance, showed a ferocious face, and asked angrily, "This is impossible! How on earth did you do it! Why are you not affected by toxins?! Why are you not poisoned?!"
"Do you think you are the only people in the world who know how to use poison? It's so ridiculous!"
Xue Xichen rolled her sleeves and sneered disdainfully. She pointed out coolly, "There are thousands of strange people in the world! Tang Qingzhu, you have lived in Tangjiapu for a long time and are isolated from the world. Naturally, you don't know the things of the world! If you want to use these poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds to conquer us,
Being poisoned is simply extremely naive and extremely ridiculous!"
"You——" Tang Qingzhu was suddenly alert and lost his voice as he thought about it a thousand times, "You——could it be that you——you are also good at using poison——"
"Tang Qingzhu, this time, you are right! Not only am I good at using poison, but I am also good at concealed weapons!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark purple gold dart flew out of Xue Xichen's sleeve, approaching Tang Qingzhu at lightning speed, and plunged directly into his chest. Tang Qingzhu wailed and fell to the ground, blood seeping out of his chest, stained with blood.
His crescent-white robe turned red.
"Now, let us ask about the whereabouts of the Cangriformis."
Xue Xichen approached Tang Qingzhu, who was lying unconscious on the ground, with a confident and victorious smile on his lips.
Feng Qingge came slowly. He glanced at Tang Qingzhu, who was unconscious on the ground, and joked: "Young lady is so cruel! Such a young and handsome young master confessed to you, but you not only didn't accept it, but you even got hurt."
Don't you feel sorry for him?"
Xue Xichen raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about you? With such a beautiful woman in your arms, don't you feel moved for a moment?"
"Alas!" Feng Qingge seemed to be sighing but not sighing, pretending to be regretful, "I have a fierce wife at home, so I don't dare to go out of my way!"
"Tsk—" Xue Xichen scoffed, but her heart felt as sweet as honey. She shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Come and help!" She bent over and pulled up Tang Qingzhu's limp and bulky body.
Feng Qingge bent down to help, and he asked: "How do you plan to find out the whereabouts of the Cangriform Grass?"
Xue Xichen blinked at Feng Qingge, smiled mysteriously, opened her red lips slightly, and uttered two words, "Hypnosis!"
…
It was just after the third watch, and this was the time when the human body was at its most exhausted. Even the servants keeping watch at Tangjiabao were drowsy while sitting on the stools in the corridor during such a boring watch.
"Are you sure that Tang Qingzhu's statement that Cangriformis is in Tang Kun's treasure house is true?"
Feng Qingge gently floated down the wall, looked at Xue Xichen who was calm and steady beside her, and asked seriously.
"Don't worry! Under hypnosis, there will be no lies!"
Xue Xichen took out a purple gauze scarf from her arms and handed it to Feng Qingge, "When you steal something, you have to look like you're stealing it!"
"Do you need to have professional ethics to be a thief?"
Feng Qingge smiled, full of amusement. He watched Xue Xichen pull out another purple gauze scarf to cover her face. He took the gauze scarf from Xue Xichen's fingers and put it under his nose and smelled it.
The fragrance of datura flowers hit his nostrils, and he couldn't help but smile, "Tang Qingzhu must have never dreamed that you always have the fragrance of datura flowers on your body. He wants to use datura flowers to poison you, which is simply a fantasy."
Having said this, he couldn't help but think of another woman - Xue Meitong. She also had the rare scent of datura flowers on her body, which was fresh and intoxicating, elegant and not vulgar.
And Aunt Xue, it seems she is too...
"Wordy!"
Xue Xichen glared and scolded, interrupting Feng Qingge's train of thought. Feng Qingge smiled and covered her cheeks with a gauze scarf. The familiar fragrance of flowers lingering between her noses bewitched his heart, making him unable to help but think.
At this moment, the woman beside him who was visiting Tangjiabao at night was none other than his married wife—Xue Meitong!
Xuemei Tong, I miss you! I really miss you!
"Go!"
Xue Xichen lightly touched Feng Qingge's arm, jumped up on the wall, and flew quickly towards Tang Kun's study in the backyard. Feng Qingge followed closely behind, and the two of them were like cheetahs in the night, silently.
Passing through courtyard walls one after another, walking among the flowers, grass and wooden eaves.
Xue Xichen lay on the roof and quietly asked Feng Qingge beside her, "Is there any difference?"
The so-called difference refers to whether the guards in Tangjiabao are tighter or laxer than during the day, and whether there is anything unusual about them.
Feng Qingge shook her head and replied softly: "It's no different from the daytime."
Xue Xichen murmured to himself and muttered: "Is it possible that Tang Kun hasn't discovered that Tang Xuejian and Tang Qingzhu are missing? But that's wrong! Could it be that Tang Kun thought that Tang Xuejian and Tang Qingzhu were going well and asked about the whereabouts of the life and death talisman? But
That’s not right either…”
"Don't think too much, just go down and take a look and it will become clear!"
Feng Qingge jumped off the eaves of the wall and was about to move forward when Xue Xichen followed in his footsteps and whispered: "Be careful!"
"The same to you!"
Feng Qingge glanced at Xue Xichen, walked quietly and hurriedly for a few steps, suddenly stopped, frowned, and told Xue Xichen, "Pay attention to the ground! Step on the black bricks."
"Um?"
Xue Xichen lowered her eyes and found that the bricks on the floor were intertwined with black and gray. It seemed that someone had done it deliberately, but she couldn't see any difference. She followed Feng Qingge's explanation, followed up, and asked softly: "Will you step on the gray ones?"
How about it?"
"The poisonous arrows are fired together, and thousands of arrows pierce the heart!"
Feng Qingge stared at every brick in front of her and said seriously, "What's interesting is that during the day, these are just ordinary bricks. At night, they turn into deadly traps."
"Feng Qingge, you are so clear!"
Xue Xichen followed Feng Qingge lightly, not as leisurely as stealing treasures, but more like strolling in her own yard. "Did you trick these out of the mouth of the eldest lady of the Tang family?"
"You're stealing treasure! Of course you have to be fully prepared!"
Feng Qingge looked back and stretched out her hand to Xue Xichen, smiling gracefully, "Do you need me to take you?"
