After Zhuo Ya finished explaining, she turned around to leave. After taking two steps, she turned around and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you tomorrow to avoid buying the wrong thing."
Naturally, Baoer had no objection. He was really afraid of making mistakes when his life was at stake.
The matter was settled like that, and Zhuo Ya really left. Xu Zizhen lacked interest because he still couldn't go out, so he only taught a few random tricks and then broke up and went back to his room.
Early the next morning, Zhuo Ya took Bao'er to the largest medicinal shop in Yingtian Mansion. The shopkeeper squinted his presbyopic eyes after reading the prescription, and said apologetically: "Everything else is easy to say, but the black snake tail and turf stone are sold out.
.”
Zhuo Ya frowned and said, "You don't even have these two medicines in a shop as big as yours?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Stores don't usually stock a lot of this kind of poison. Why don't you two go to Yingchang Mansion to have a look? There is a shop there that's bigger than the small shop. I think there should be some."
Zhuo Ya pondered, and Bao'er glanced outside the door without leaving a trace, and said: "Aunt, why don't I take a trip? There are many streets in Yingchang Mansion."
"Forget it, let's go together." After Zhuo Ya said that, she turned around and left. Bao'er took a few steps to go out first to prepare the carriage, but when he went out, he stretched his left hand behind his back and made a hidden gesture.
Half an hour later, a carriage drove out of Yingtian Mansion. Bao'er and Zhuo Ya were sitting in the carriage. The driver was an honest and simple young man. Bao'er hired the carriage and the carriage on the street.
The distance from Yingtian Mansion to Yingchang Mansion was not very short, but the young man knew a small road and drove his car through the low hills. It was said that it could save half the time.
Zhuo Ya and Bao'er were chatting in the car without saying a word. They didn't know how long they had been walking. Suddenly, the horse pulling the cart neighed loudly, and then the carriage suddenly stopped with a tremor.
"What are you going to do? Ah..." The young man exclaimed, and then there was a thumping sound, and the exclamation turned into excitement.
When Bao'er lifted the curtain of the carriage, he saw a masked man appearing in front of the horse. He was holding a bright long sword in his hand, but the young man who drove the carriage had been thrown to the side of the road and was holding his arms and crying out in pain.
"You...who are you? Do you dare to rob someone in broad daylight?" Baoer seemed to be frightened, holding on to the car curtain tightly and not daring to move, and asked with his eyes wide open.
The masked man didn't even look at him. He also grabbed Bao'er and threw him to the side. Then he stretched out his hand and pulled off the curtain, revealing Zhuo Ya inside the car.
Zhuo Ya was startled and shrank back subconsciously. Although she was not too panicked, she still said nervously: "You... if you want the money, I will give it to you. No... don't come over."
He reached into his arms and touched the money bag.
The masked man had a playful look in his eyes and did not jump into the car. He just looked at Zhuo Ya with his sword in hand, the tip of the sword pointed straight at her.
But at this moment Bao'er suddenly jumped up from the ground again, picked up a stone in his hand, rushed over in a panic, and shouted: "Don't hurt my aunt!"
The stone flew out of his hand and hit the masked man on the head. The masked man sneered disdainfully and ducked away. But at the moment when his eyes shifted, Zhuo Ya's hand suddenly stretched out from his arms.
She came out, but what she held in her hand was not a money bag, but a black fire gun.
boom!
There was a deafening gunshot, and the masked man screamed and fell to the ground. There was blood on his right leg, and a bloody hole had been made by the blunderbuss.
The anger and fear on Bao'er's face disappeared instantly. He walked to Zhuo Ya and looked at the masked man with a smile: "Mr. Mu, what are you doing here? Are you teasing me and my aunt?"
The masked man's screams suddenly stopped, he stared at Bao'er in disbelief, then reached out and pulled off the mask, who else could it be if it wasn't Mu Dongbai?
"You...know it's me? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Zhuo Ya said calmly: "We don't know who poisoned Sun Tie, but since it was you who came here, it's you."
Bao'er said proudly: "You didn't expect it, did you? We deliberately told you that Uncle Sun Tie was saved, and then today my aunt and I went to buy medicine, just to give you a chance to set an ambush halfway, but I didn't expect you to actually come.
, my uncle guessed right, you are really a good artist, how about it, my aunt and I act pretty much alike, right?"
Mu Dongbai's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were dull and blank. He couldn't believe that he had carefully designed this series of plans, but he didn't expect that Xu Zizhen had discovered it long ago.
He has been praised by others since he was a child, and he has the heart of a proud man. But at this moment, he feels a deep sense of frustration. He is unwilling to accept it, just like when he lost to Lanzhou and was seriously injured.
Same as Xu Zizhen.
The contempt in Zhuo Ya's eyes and the sneer on Bao'er's face both deeply stimulated Mu Dongbai's heart. Xu Zizhen's face seemed to be right in front of him, with a disdainful sneer, as if he was laughing at his overestimation and laughing at him
After all, he is not worthy to be Xu Zizhen's opponent.
Bao'er sneered and added: "Oh, and my uncle said that other people's houses are closed to let the dogs out, but ours is called going out to catch dogs..."
"I'll kill you!"
The anger accumulated for a year since Lanzhou, coupled with the embarrassment and anger of being discovered at this time, Bao'er's words were like a spark falling into a dry barrel of explosives. Mu Dongbai suddenly exploded. He didn't know where it came from.
With so much strength, he jumped up on the ground with one hand, and stabbed Zhuo Ya straight with the long sword in his hand.
The sword was fast and urgent, with a fierce sword wind. Zhuo Ya didn't know kung fu and didn't know how to avoid it for a moment. Bao'er subconsciously moved half a step sideways and stopped in front of Zhuo Ya.
Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to reach Bao'er's chest, a short knife suddenly flew out of the horizontal stab. It hit Mu Dongbai first and knocked the long sword in Mu Dongbai's hand crookedly. Then a figure flashed out and knocked Mu Dongbai down like a god descending from the earth.
Kicked and flew out.
Mu Dongbai fell heavily into the dust. When he finally regained consciousness and opened his eyes to look, he discovered that the man was actually the coachman whom he had thrown out so easily just now, a seemingly honest and honest young man.
puff!
Mu Dongbai was shocked and angry. He could no longer hold back the sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. Only then did he realize that since Xu Zizhen dared to use Zhuo Ya as bait to lure him into the bait, how could he not arrange for others to secretly
Protect?
Bao'er complained: "Uncle Seventeen, couldn't you show up earlier? What if I hurt my aunt?"
That young man was Xu Shiqi. He walked slowly to Mu Dongbai, lifted him up, and turned around and smiled at Bao'er: "The master of the house said, it's not easy for someone to go through so much trouble to set up such a situation. How proud of him."
It will be good in a while." After saying that, he jumped into the car and threw Mu Dongbai onto the car's shaft.
Xu Qiqi seemed to have thought of something and asked again: "By the way, my head asked me to ask you, did you bribe those nerds from Yingtian College to cause riots?"
At this time, Mu Dongbai's eyes were empty and his expression was dull. It seemed that most of his three souls and seven souls had dispersed. He just let Xu Qi Qi do what he did without any reaction. Naturally, he just ignored Xu Qi's questions.
.
Xu Shiqi didn't care. He raised his whip and said, "It's okay if you don't say anything. Just lie down. My master is waiting for you at the prefect's Yamen... come on!"
