Zhao Min took Su Yi and the other four people through the corridor and into the backyard.
This is a huge garden, with ancient rocks in the forest, clear water, and various exotic trees and flowers competing for beauty.
Even in the southern water towns, such elegant and beautiful manors are rare, let alone the bitter cold land in the northwest?
No wonder Zhao Min was "overjoyed" and wrote poems like "The breeze is so admired, and I have become a close friend." In fact, the owner's thought and elegance can be seen in every detail of this villa, and just being in it can make people relaxed and happy.
, let alone owning it?
Su Yi was just admiring the wonderful scenery in the garden. Su Sanqi had been reminded by the two girls before and had been a little more careful since coming in. At this time, she saw Zhao Min walking swaying in front without looking back, so she hurriedly came together.
He came to Su Yi's ear and said, "Sir, this woman just said the word 'anti-thief'. I'm afraid she really is not from the same group as us..."
Su Yi nodded slightly and smiled without saying a word.
Zhao Min, what is this called?
Are you confident? Or is it called hiding in the dark?
She deliberately dismissed the eight subordinates who protected her, always did everything herself, and treated her warmly as the master, giving people the impression that apart from those eight people, she was the only weak woman in the manor.
Even though she knew that Su Yi was anti-Yuan, she showed a flaw and called the rebels rebels. This was definitely not an oversight on her part, but intentional.
This was called her confidence. She felt that Su Yi was a hero of the world, upright and upright. The more she knew that she was a weak woman, the less she would do anything to her.
And the reason why she exposed her flaws by calling herself a "rebel" is probably just a ploy and a psychological game.
When entering a stranger's manor, a person will be wary, look at everything around him with suspicion, and be full of vigilance.
Zhao Min simply showed some flaws and made Su Yi think that there was "really something wrong" with her. In this way, the more conceited a person is, the more relieved she will be.
Because he will feel that the situation is under his control, and he will have a sense of superiority like "I have mastered your flaw without knowing it", which will further give rise to "I want to see what tricks you can do".
Come in a theater mood.
But in this way, Su Yi would unconsciously focus on Zhao Min and all the interactions with the surrounding environment and his group, while ignoring other inconspicuous and static things.
This means that after you have a clear focus, you are no longer full of doubts about everything when you first came in. Even if you look at a word, you will wonder if there is anything famous in it.
This is an inertia of the human brain when processing information, filtering out some "useless junk information".
But what Zhao Min took advantage of was probably this kind of inertia.
The banquet was set in the water pavilion in the middle of the backyard pond.
The water pavilion is ventilated on all sides, and there are seven or eight narcissus-like flowers planted in the surrounding pool. The petals are white and the fragrance is fragrant. There is a bamboo forest not far away, which is lush, fresh and elegant.
The breeze is gentle and cool and pleasant. If you eat and drink in such an environment, you will probably be drunk before you even drink.
The banquet has already been arranged, and the dishes on the table are all northwest specialities, mainly beef and mutton, but there are also fish, shrimps, fresh vegetables and other Jiangnan dishes.
When several people arrived, Zhao Min waved his hand, and the maids immediately bowed and retreated from the corridor on the other side, leaving only Zhao Min, Su Yi and four others in the water pavilion.
This is also a psychological suggestion - the sense of security of four to one will give ordinary people the illusion that "even if something unexpected happens, I can catch this woman immediately."
I am afraid that few people in the world would be able to detect these subtle little thoughts, but they could not be hidden from Su Yi's eyes.
Everything here seems so harmonious, except for a long sword hanging on the column in the northeast corner of the water pavilion.
In a place like this, something that shouldn't appear suddenly appeared here, which would naturally attract everyone's attention. So naturally, the eyes of Su Yi and the other four people all fell on this long sword.
I saw that the scabbard was black and brand-new, as if it was newly made, but the hilt was ancient and simple, with the two characters "Yitian" engraved on it in seal script.
"Yitian Sword!" Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo both exclaimed.
The next second, Zhou Zhiruo stepped forward and took off the sword.
As soon as the sword was in her hand, she said "Hey" and hurriedly pulled out the long sword.
Only then did everyone realize that this was actually a long wooden sword. The long sword was pale yellow in color and seemed to be made of sandalwood, exuding a faint fragrance.
Su Yi's eyes narrowed slightly and his smile grew stronger.
But Zhou Zhiruo was a little at a loss. He returned the wooden sword to its scabbard, returned it to its original place with some scorn, and said awkwardly: "Sister Zhao, I'm sorry for my rudeness. Don't be offended."
Zhao Min waved his hand with a smile and said: "The Yitian Sword is a thing that respects the master and destroys the master. It would be strange if Zhou Nuxia saw the Yitian Sword hanging here and didn't take it down to take a look. It's not strange, but it's strange.
Blame it on me. I usually like anecdotes about the world and make friends with heroes from all over the world. After hearing the legend of the Yitian Sword, I was very attracted to it, so I made a fake sword for myself. I didn’t expect that the servants forgot to take it away. Damn it, let everyone see the joke.
Already."
Xiao Zhao asked curiously: "Sister Zhao, why do you hang the sword here?"
Zhao Min pointed around and said with a smile: "Don't you think dancing swords and reciting poems here is a great pleasure in life?"
Xiao Zhao looked around and said sincerely: "Really, if I lived here, I wouldn't be able to help but come here to have fun from time to time."
"Everyone, please take a seat!" Zhao Min said with a smile.
Su Sanqi originally refused to sit down and wanted to stand behind Su Yi to guard, but Zhao Min didn't force him.
But Su Yi said: "Sanqi, guests do as they please. Now that you are here, why don't you sit down and drink a few glasses of water and wine to show your respect for the host?"
Su Sanqi immediately said yes and sat down.
Zhao Min poured wine for everyone personally and introduced: "This is Shaoxing privet wine. It is said to be Chen Shao's 18th year. Please try it. How does it taste?"
No one moved, but Su Yi picked up the wine glass and took a sip without hesitation, then drank it up.
"The taste is mellow, it is indeed a good wine." Su Yi praised, "Come and try it, too."
Zhao Min saw a strange look flashing in his eyes again, and said with a smile: "Headmaster Su seems to be a person who knows how to drink."
"I understand a little bit," Su Yi smiled, "The wine is full of fragrance and contains flowers from the north, and the color of the wine is full of bamboos from the south. The wine is good and the scenery is even better. It's just that Miss Zhao drank the wrong wine."
"Wrong?" Zhao Min looked confused.
"What a mistake." Su Yi sighed, "Although the wine becomes more fragrant with age, after all, it has been buried in the soil for many years. If you suddenly dig it out and open the jar, it will inevitably have a smell of earth."
"Really?" Zhao Min was doubtful and picked up the wine glass to taste it carefully.
"It really smells weird!" Xiao Zhao took a sip and shouted, "Brother, how should you drink this wine?"
"It's quite simple." Su Yi said with a smile, "Xiao Zhao, the flowers in this pond are blooming just right. Go and pick four of them. Remember to pick the branches and vines together."
"Hey!" Xiao Zhao agreed without asking why, and hurried to the waterside to pick flowers.
Zhao Min's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Su Yi non-stop, with surprise hidden in his eyes.
She didn't know whether Su Yi did it intentionally or not.
But she soon found out.
Xiao Zhao quickly picked the flowers and handed them to Su Yi.
Su Yi directly plucked off the large white petals and said with a smile: "The fragrance of this flower is too bright. If you put it in wine, it will cover up the aroma of the wine itself and it will be overwhelming."
As he spoke, he picked off the small green bulbs on the flower stems, crushed them with slight force, and threw them into the cup.
Zhao Min saw that the boy's hole had shrunk to the point of a needle, clenched his fists, and the smile on his face became much stiffer.
Su Yi didn't even look at her. He just followed the same pattern and crushed the bulbs of the other three flowers into pieces and placed them in the other three wine glasses.
Then he picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, indicating that everyone should follow suit.
"Thanks to Miss Zhao's warm hospitality today, how can we not be satisfied with drinking this glass of wine to express our gratitude?" Su Yi said with a smile, "Come on, come on, drink this glass of wine!"
The three of them were dominated by Su Yi, so naturally they would not refuse. They all raised their wine glasses to signal to Zhao Min, and then drank them all at the same time.
Zhou Zhiruo tasted it carefully and said, "It's a little bitter, but refreshing and refreshing. It really tastes better."
"Not only does it taste better? I feel like I feel completely comfortable after drinking this glass of wine!" Xiao Zhao exaggeratedly clapped his hands and laughed, "Brother, you are so awesome and you know so much!"
Even Su Sanqi felt that this was indeed the case and nodded secretly.
Zhao Min met Su Yi's half-smiling eyes and immediately understood that this was not a coincidence, but that the other party had really seen through her trick.
She just completed the poisoning process quietly.
The narcissus-like flowers in this pool are called "Drunk Fairy Lingfu". Although they are extremely rare, they are not poisonous in themselves.
The fake Heavenly Sword was made from the "Qilu Xiangmu" found on the seabed, and it itself was non-toxic.
But when these two aromas are mixed together, they become highly poisonous.
The encounter between Qidian Xiangmu and Drunken Fairy Spirit Fu often makes people confused and intoxicated for several days, as if half drunk and half awake. If you rush to transport Qi and blood, it will accelerate the poisonous gas to attack the heart. By then, there will be no cure.
But as the saying goes, all poisons in the world must be in conflict with each other within ten steps. Although this poison can harm people invisible, its detoxification method is also very simple. Just drink the bulb of the Drunken Fairy Flower and water.
Detoxified.
This poisoning method was carefully designed by Zhao Min. She believed that it would never be seen through by anyone, because it was impossible for normal people to imagine that mixing floral and sandalwood incense would cause poisoning.
You can skip eating and drinking, but you can't skip breathing. As long as you come, you will be poisoned!
The Yitian Sword was pulled out by Zhou Zhiruo. She had never even touched it. Even the most astute person would not suspect this.
unless--
This Su Yi is not only a powerful character with unparalleled martial arts skills, but he is also a secret master of Xinglin!
Zhao Min felt warning signs in his heart and was extremely confused.
She was a little afraid that Su Yi would overturn the table and attack her at the next moment, but she was a little unwilling to give in.
Although Su Yi is also proficient in medical skills, he is naturally not a master of Xinglin.
He broke through Zhao Min's poison, naturally because he was familiar with the original plot.
In addition, he is also a very brave person who is not afraid of being poisoned.
His I Ching Marrow Cleansing Technique also has the effect of being immune to all poisons. Most of the ordinary toxins that enter his body can be resolved as he uses his internal energy.
That's why he is not afraid of Zhao Min playing any tricks.
After Zhao Min thought about it for a long time, she calmed down again. As if nothing had happened, she picked up the wine glass and smiled at Su Yi: "Master Su, I would like to give you a drink, little lady."
"How is one cup enough? You should punish yourself with three cups." Su Yi said with a smile.
His tone was neither urgent nor slow, but his eyes were staring at Zhao Min, as if his mother had no doubts.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhiruo and others' expressions changed, and they felt something was wrong.
However, Zhao Min remained calm-faced and said with a smile: "You really deserve to be punished for your poor care. I'll drink this wine!"
After speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, then poured himself two more glasses and drank the same.
After three glasses of water and wine, Zhao Min's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were a little blurry. Her eyes were like two clear springs, full of waves and mist, making people feel pity after just one glance.
She picked up the tea cup, as if she wanted to use the tea to drink down the alcohol, but her hand shook and it spilled on herself.
Zhao Min frowned slightly, put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "The little girl can't bear the strength of alcohol. It may be disrespectful to drink any more. Now I feel a little ignorant. I really shouldn't."
After saying that, she stood up, walked two steps to the left and stood still, like a man, clasped her fists and bowed her hands, then stood up again and said sincerely: "Master Su, if you believe me, please wait for me for a moment and let me go in and change clothes.
Let’s discuss it with Master Su in detail when we get back.”
"Miss Zhao, do it yourself." Su Yi agreed with a smile.
Zhao Min smiled at Zhou Zhiruo and others again, then turned around and left along the corridor.
As soon as she walked away, Xiao Zhao couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, what's going on?"
Su Yi touched the wood on his waist and smiled. Without hiding anything, he told the story about how everyone had been poisoned without knowing it.
The three of them heard this in disbelief, were frightened and frightened. If they had not known Su Yi's character, they would not have believed that such a harmonious and friendly scene had actually had such a thrilling secret fight, and the three of them knew nothing about it.
Su Sanqi said gloomily: "We have been careful about everything. The young master and Zhao Min ate the drinks and food first, and then we ate. Who knew that this witch's poisoning scheme was so unbelievable that it is almost impossible to guard against."
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have touched that fake Yitian Sword." Zhou Zhiruo blamed himself, "If I didn't pull out the sword, it would be fine."
"Since she is deliberately trying to harm us, if she doesn't move the sword, she will move it, or provoke one of us to move it. It's impossible to prevent her." Su Yi said with a smile.
Xiao Zhao said angrily: "I have already guessed that she is not a good person, and it is true! Brother, why should we be polite to her? Why don't we catch her and find out what happened? You shouldn't have let her go just now, she will definitely run away now
Got it!"
Su Yi smiled and said nothing.
Just now Zhao Min stood up pretending to be drunk and apologized, and deliberately took two steps to the left. That was not a casual walk.
If Su Yifan had said "disagree" just now, Zhao Min would have shut down her engine and she would have fallen into an underground trap.
At that time, the people in ambush around the backyard would shoot thousands of arrows into the water pavilion.
