Following Shen Yu, the chief of the clan's defense, Mi Jiang also came to the corpse of the shop owner, opened the deceased's eyelids, looked at the bloodshot pupils, and then gestured to Mi Rui: "Sister."
Mi Rui ran over obediently, took out a pair of shiny silver chopsticks from the cloth pocket slung on her waist, and handed them to Mi Jiang.
Mi Jiang took the silver chopsticks, used it to pry open the shopkeeper's mouth, and used his mouth to pick out a fragment the size of a fingernail. It was also stained with some black liquid, which may be black blood or some other liquid.
However, no matter what those few drops of liquid were, it was clearly very toxic. No, the silver chopsticks quickly turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What is this?" Shen Yu pointed to the fragment held by the silver chopsticks and asked in confusion.
"Don't touch it!" Mi Jiang glared at Shen Yu, then looked at the fragment and said, "It should be something like wax. Wax can isolate the poison."
Zhao Hongrun heard this and frowned and said, "You mean, the thing he just threw into his mouth was a wax pill wrapped in poison?"
"Well, that makes it easier to carry." Mi Jiang explained casually, then carefully held the fragment with silver chopsticks, brought it up to his nose and sniffed it, and then said expressionlessly: "The fishy smell is very light, it seems It’s not snake venom, scorpion venom or the like, it should be the juice of poisonous weeds or the like... There may be some snake venom or scorpion venom mixed in, but there won’t be many ingredients.”
After saying that, she put the poison in the silver chopsticks back into the deceased's mouth, then handed the silver chopsticks to Ji Rui, and took a box of silver needle-like things from the latter's hand, took out a silver needle from it, and put it in the mouth of the deceased. The shopkeeper's body had several needles stabbed into its heart and limbs.
When the silver needles were pulled out again, they turned black.
"This poison is quite toxic." Mi Jiang said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xi Rui was stunned, and actually used silver chopsticks to pick out the venom-stained wax fragments from the mouth of the shopkeeper's corpse, then took out an empty jar from the cloth bag and took out the fragments. Put it in.
"Xirui, what do you want this for?"
Zhao Hongrun asked Mi Rui in confusion.
At this time, Mi Rui was not as silly as usual. After hearing this, she put the broken wax stained with poison into the jar with silver chopsticks and said happily: "My sister and I have never seen such a poisonous thing." I want to take some of the poison back and study it. If I can prepare this poison, I will cultivate a more poisonous poison."
"...Should we stop her?"
Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth and was speechless.
Only then did he remember that these sisters were professional witches who were extremely good at using poison.
However, Zhao Hongrun felt a little worried when such an extremely toxic poison fell into Mi Rui's hands.
After all, in his eyes, Mi Rui is simply synonymous with being brainless. This girl mistook her sister's green poison for some other poison and planted it on him, Zhao Hongrun.
He thought that the relationship between Zhao Hongrun and Mi Jiang had become so awkward, all thanks to this brainless girl.
Perhaps because she saw Zhao Hongrun's worries, Mi Jiang comforted Zhao Hongrun and said, "Don't worry, my sister is even better than me in using poison..." After saying that, something strange flashed in her eyes. Color, murmured: "In fact, I am also surprised that the poison of your Wei country is so toxic, far more toxic than the Ba country..."
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun immediately shook his head and said: "This is not the poison of your Wei State. We, the Wei people, disdain to use poison."
"So, these are not Wei people?" Mi Jiang looked at Zhao Hongrun with a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes.
"this……"
Looking at the corpses everywhere, Zhao Hongrun had a headache.
After all, it is difficult to tell whether a person is from Wei or another country based on his appearance.
While Zhao Hongrun was thinking, on the other side, Miss Su gently touched Mi Jiang who was still squatting on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Mi Jiang turned around and asked expressionlessly.
I saw a trace of embarrassment and shame on Miss Su's pretty face, and she said quietly: "Just now... thank you very much."
Mi Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Miss Su was referring to.
It turned out that just when Miss Su was about to pick up the meat with her chopsticks, Mi Jiang felt something was wrong with the look on the shopkeeper's face and suspected that the food and wine were poisoned, so she grabbed Miss Su's hand to prevent the woman from being poisoned.
This move made Miss Su feel even more ashamed. After all, she had always been hostile and prejudiced against Mi Jiang in her heart. She didn't expect Mi Jiang to be so "generous". If she had been another bad-hearted woman, she would have only
He pretended not to know anything and allowed Miss Su to be poisoned to death.
Perhaps guessing what Miss Su was thinking, Mi Jiang said lightly: "No need to thank me, if you are poisoned to death by someone else in front of my two sisters, it will be a lifelong shame for my two sisters!"
"...What you said is shameful enough! Can't you accept Miss Su's gratitude frankly?"
Zhao Hongrun quietly followed the conversation between Miss Su and Mi Jiang. After hearing Mi Jiang's shameful words, he shook his head speechlessly.
However, the second half of Mi Jiang's sentence made everyone stunned: "...Furthermore, none of the dishes just now were poisoned, only the wine was poisoned, so even if I
If I don’t stop you, you won’t be poisoned.”
"Only in wine..."
"……poisonous?"
Except for Mi Jiang and Mi Rui who was collecting the toxin, everyone present looked at Zhao Hongrun in unison.
After all, they remembered clearly that Zhao Hongrun had clearly taken a large sip of poisonous wine just now.
"ah--!"
"not good!"
"Your Highness... no, Young Master, are you... not in the way?"
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the clan guards gathered around Zhao Hongrun with frightened faces, and everything was in chaos.
"Quick, young master, spit out the poisonous wine!" Mu Qing said anxiously.
All the sect guards agreed.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun was also stunned by the second half of Mi Jiang's words.
After all, he had clearly just taken a sip of poisoned wine.
But...vomit it out? How to vomit it up? It's already in the stomach, how can it be vomited out?
"Sir, I'm offended!"
Zong Wei Chief Shen Yu hugged Zhao Hongrun with a serious face, and then, before the latter could react, he punched Zhao Hongrun in the stomach.
Zhao Hongrun had never suffered such a heavy blow before, and he was unprepared. He immediately wailed and bent over, holding his stomach. He only felt sour water rising in his mouth, and he vomited something that looked like water.
"Is this... does this count as vomiting?" Zong Wei Weijiao asked with fear still on his face.
The other clan guards looked at each other in confusion.
After a long time, Mu Qing whispered: "To be cautious, let's do it a few more times."
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun ignored the severe pain in his lower abdomen and quickly stopped him: "Stop it!"
"Sir, that wine is poisonous. If it doesn't induce vomiting..." All the sect guards looked troubled.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun said angrily: "That being said, if you use this method, you will beat me to death in just two strikes!"
"What...what should I do?"
All the sect guards looked at each other.
At this moment, Chen Xiao next to him said as if he suddenly realized: "Pour fecal juice and use fecal juice to induce vomiting!"
"What a great idea!"
Under Zhao Hongrun's horrified gaze, all the sect guards' faces were filled with joy. In fact, Mu Qing, Gao Kuo and others were so anxious that they had already run out of the inn.
"Are you playing with me?!"
Zhao Hongrun's face was full of horror.
Facts have proved that the Zongwei were not joking. Not long after, Mu Qing, Gao Kuo and others brought a wooden barrel, which smelled terrible.
Zhao Hongrun turned pale with fright and shouted: "Mu Qing, I'm warning you, if you dare to take it over and try it!"
However, there was a trace of determination in Mu Qing's eyes, and he said in a rare serious tone: "As long as His Highness is safe and sound, even if His Highness kills Mu Qing afterwards, Mu Qing will have no complaints!"
After saying that, he gestured to the sect guards with his eyes.
All the sect guards looked at each other, and then Shen Yu, Wei Jiao, and Lu Mu calmly grabbed Zhao Hongrun's hands and feet.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun was horrified and couldn't help but cursed: "Shen Yu! Wei Jiao! Lu Mu!... What are you doing? I have always treated you well..."
"Precisely because His Highness treats me so well, we can never sit back and watch His Highness... die here!"
After saying that, Shen Yu ordered the remaining Zongwei to bring the stunned girls to the side, then turned to Mu Qing and said: "Mu Qing, do it!"
Mu Qing nodded and said to the horrified Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, I'm sorry..."
After saying that, he picked up a full spoonful with the wooden spoon in his hand and walked towards Zhao Hongrun.
"Stop! Stop! Bastard!... I'm fine, I'm fine, you bastards, don't you understand?!"
Seeing that thing getting closer and closer to him, Zhao Hongrun was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.
At this moment, Mi Jiang, who was inspecting the corpse of the shop owner, turned around and glanced, a smile seemed to flash in his eyes, and said lightly: "Stop it... You really dare to do this,
If you turn around, he will really chase you with his sword and chop you."
Seeing Mi Jiang speak, Shen Yu frowned and said, "But... didn't you see it just now? Master, he took a sip of the poisonous wine."
After hearing this, Mi Jiang said calmly: "The poison will only give him diarrhea, but it won't kill him... If something really happened to him, he would have been poisoned long ago when you were fighting with this group of thieves.
Died."
Seeing what Mi Jiang said, the sect guards felt that it made sense. Although they felt a little puzzled, they still stepped aside under Zhao Hongrun's hateful glare.
"These bastards!"
Zhao Hongrun escaped by luck, glared at the sect guards with hatred, and ordered: "Go and dump this thing! ... If you have nothing to do, just check the body!"
"...Yes." The sect guards shrank their necks and responded to the order in a sullen voice.
But, are you really okay?
Although he didn't say it, Zhao Hongrun still cared a little in his heart.
But the strange thing is that, as Mi Jiang said, he really didn't feel anything wrong after drinking the obviously poisonous wine.
So, he walked to Mi Jiang and asked in a low voice: "Mi Jiang, I took a sip of that poisonous wine, are you really okay?"
Mi Jiang snorted, poked Zhao Hongrun's heart with her finger, and said lightly: "It is more toxic than the poisonous wine you drank."
"That evil thing... actually has this effect?"
Zhao Hongrun was really stunned.
But then he thought about it, and he felt something was wrong, so he frowned and said to Mi Jiang: "You knew earlier, why didn't you stop those bastards as soon as possible?"
Mi Jiang looked at Zhao Hongrun, and then slowly turned away his face.
