In Guihe Tower, Gongsun Cheng and Chi Cangping arrived as scheduled today, and the seats were full of people who liked to listen to the excitement. They also hired a storyteller to make sure everyone had a good time.
This was already the third day of their plan, and Gongsun Cheng was always worried. He was worried that the little witch wouldn't come, and he was also worried that if she came, he might not be able to take it.
Although Chi Cangping repeatedly assured him that there would be no accident, as time passed, Gongsun Cheng felt a little weak in his heart.
That evening, Guihe Tower was still bustling with people, and the shopkeeper was beaming with joy. He was so happy that someone had given him a few days of good business for nothing.
In order to thank Gongsun Cheng and to earn some reputation for his restaurant, the shopkeeper took out the fine wine from his collection and gave it to tonight's guests.
The shopkeeper, who brought two waiters to the wine cellar to pick up the wine, felt a pain in his neck the moment he opened the door, and then his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
With a few splashes, the shopkeeper and the waiters fell down together. Qu Lianqin emerged from the darkness behind them. She retrieved the silver needles that had fallen on these people's necks, and then dragged them into the corner.
When she came out again, she had already put on a waiter's clothes, went to the back kitchen and called some helpers, and asked them to send the drinks out, while she took the opportunity to go into the kitchen again and tampered with the dishes.
At this time, there was still a lot of excitement in front. Guihelou brought wine to cheer up, which made everyone more excited. Except for Gongsun Cheng and his party, almost everyone was immersed in this cheerful atmosphere.
Although Gongsun Cheng was mingling with everyone on the surface, he was actually worried and paying attention to the surrounding situation at all times. Hearing a snap, a man slipped from the chair, which made everyone stunned, and then they burst into laughter.
It looked like he had drunk too much, but Gongsun Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he stepped forward to help him up. At the same time, he secretly checked for his pulse. This time, his eyes changed slightly.
He put the man down with a smile and said with a smile to the people around him: "This brother has drunk too much. If any of his friends are traveling with him, please don't forget to take him back later."
Everyone laughed, and this matter did not cause any trouble. Gongsun Cheng, who returned to his seat, lowered his head to check the drinks in front of him, and whispered to Chi Cangping next to him: "Brother Wuming, that person just now was poisoned, but
It’s not life-threatening.”
Then, he glanced vaguely at the drinks and dishes in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I have checked before, and there should be nothing wrong with the drinks and dishes. Do you think this is a coincidence?"
"Young master, please don't be careless. This little witch is extremely cunning, and most of the things she does are ridiculous. It's not surprising what kind of arrangements she makes. I'm sure she's nearby. Young master, don't make a big fuss, so as not to alert others."
After Chi Cangping finished explaining, he changed the drinks in front of him again. When going out, he had to pay attention to what he was eating and drinking. Although they invited others to eat and drink, they never moved at all.
To put it more utilitarian, this group of people is completely the bait used by Chi Cangping to lure out Qu Lianqin.
Of course Gongsun Cheng also knew this, but he still felt guilty, so he just came back with confidence after confirming that the poison would not endanger his life.
Although it was to deal with the devil, Gongsun Cheng still found it hard to accept the way he did not hesitate to take advantage of others. Although he knew the principle of following authority in urgent matters, he still had some concerns in his heart.
"Brother Wuming, otherwise I'd better go and take a look at that person again. Maybe I made a mistake. That little witch shouldn't have acted so clumsily." Gongsun Cheng looked at Chi Cangping hesitantly and said.
Chi Cangping stopped him in a low voice: "Young master, no, if you go again, I'm afraid your secret will be revealed. If you let that little witch escape, you will be in vain."
Gongsun Cheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and continued to exchange cups with the people around him.
Chi Cangping didn't show it on his face, but he looked down on Gongsun Cheng in his heart. The most taboo thing in Jianghu is to be timid, and he did everything. Only then did he remember that benevolence, righteousness and morality are both hypocritical and cowardly.
Everyone in the venue was drunk, and naturally they were degrading and insulting the little witch. There was a charlatan who was dressed like a scholar and was about to stand up to speak. Suddenly, he saw a rough and hairy hand on his waist, and there was a burst of laughter.
Aversion to cold.
"What are you doing!" He couldn't help but cursed angrily, and saw that the eyes of the man pestering him were red, and he was breathing heavily, as if he was a little confused.
Like a hungry wolf seeing raw meat, the man's eyes were full of aggression. The scholar couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. As if he was infected by that gaze, he also felt a strange heat starting to rush straight to his forehead.
The actions of the two seemed to turn on some kind of switch. The next moment, people at every table in the venue lost their composure and fell into this weird confusion.
When Gongsun Cheng found out, he just felt like vomiting. This must be the work of the little witch, but he didn't expect that the other party had administered medicine instead of poison.
This increasingly eye-catching scene also brought back some embarrassing memories for Chi Cangping. He stood up to protect Yan'er who was at a loss and looked around nervously at the situation.
Amidst the commotion, there was a cracking sound, and the person who had been scolding the most happily suddenly fell straight down, with blood on his forehead.
The one who attacked him was a wine bottle, and the person who attacked him was Qu Lianqin, who was standing at the entrance openly. This time she didn't even bother to pretend, and showed herself to others openly and honestly.
"You can scold me, my aunt, huh!"
Qu Lianqin floated over, stepped over the heads of several confused Jianghu people, and stopped next to the man who fell to the ground. The silver needle between his fingers swung out with an awe-inspiring force, and landed on the man's eyes and throat.
, did not take his life immediately, but made him unable to see or speak.
"Everyone is worried! It's the little demon girl here!" Chi Cangping forced himself to calm down and shouted loudly.
Not everyone was drugged. Those with high martial arts skills, those who drank little alcohol, or those with different physical constitutions were able to escape. At this time, there were still seven or eight people in the field who were still able to stay awake.
After listening to Chi Cangping's shouting, everyone still didn't know that they had fallen into the witch's trick. In embarrassment, they took out their weapons and surrounded him.
"Stop being so arrogant, the witch!"
Several people got into position and attacked Qu Lianqin, and the two sides fought with swords and swords.
Gongsun Cheng, who was behind, also wanted to join the battle, but was stopped by Chi Cangping in a cryptic manner. He whispered: "Young Master, that Qu Lianqin has many tricks, let all of you comrades block it for us for a while."
"How is this possible?" Gongsun Cheng seemed hesitant, but in fact he was very shaken.
Chi Cangping was secretly disdainful and continued to persuade: "Young master, don't worry, we are all here to ensure that we can capture this witch. This is a strategy, not an intentional avoidance of battle."
".That's right." Gongsun Cheng gritted his teeth, stopped and observed the battle situation intently.
It was obviously the killing plot planned by the two of them, but when the demon girl actually appeared, they retreated to the rear and let others go up to fight first. This too real scene severely impacted Yan'er's heart.
She is unfamiliar with the world, but for her young master, she has always felt that he must be the kind of righteous knight in the storybook, but now his actions feel a bit unspeakable.
