Xia Shang also heard about Yue Yanzhi's family affairs in the capital.
First of all, Yue Yanzhi's status was special, and the Yue family was a famous family, and there were very few nobles who had anything to do with Jianghu. The Yue family was another exception.
The adopted son of the Yue family became the famous leader of the Ancient Sword Sect in the world, and he and Yue Yanzhi were brothers. This kind of strange story would naturally be spread widely.
Xia Shang did not deliberately inquire about it when he was in the capital, but he had already heard about it.
When he learned that Yue Yanzhi was to be eliminated, Xia Shang first thought of the Ancient Sword Sect.
First, although Yue Yanzhi has a high reputation, he is still a scholar without real power. He has no power and no bodyguards around him. He must have realized the danger and wanted to protect himself when he fled the capital in a hurry after resigning.
We need to rely on the power of the Ancient Sword Sect.
Second, it was in this post house that Xia Shang happened to meet two female disciples from the Ancient Sword Sect. This may be a coincidence, but just now Xia Shang heard at the door one of the female disciples telling his junior sister to run away in a difficult moment.
Go and ask the master to come over. This proves that the head of the Ancient Sword Sect is also nearby, and it is obviously impossible to alert the head of the Ancient Sword Sect at the Famous Sword New Product Conference. If the head of the Ancient Sword Sect appears nearby, then there will naturally be others.
Purpose.
Now is an opportunity. If he hadn't expected that the matter was related to the Ancient Sword Sect, Xia Shang would not have wasted his time guarding the two female disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect. After Xia Shang rescued them, he could follow them to get closer to the Ancient Sword Sect.
The leader of the Sword Sect will then act on his own initiative.
Chunjiao has left, and Xia Shang asked her to send someone to track down Yue Yanzhi's whereabouts. After finding out, she should not take action privately, but give the information to Xia Shang, who would then find a way to deal with him.
Xia Shang guarded the two female disciples all night, and it was not until the next morning that the two girls woke up one after another.
Junior sister Baixiang didn't know anything about what happened after that. When she saw Xia Shang appearing beside her bed, she hid under the quilt very nervously and looked at Xia Shang warily: "What are you doing?"
"Junior sister, please stop being rude!" Bai Hua woke up first and had just washed up and sobered up a bit.
Baixiang saw that her senior sister was disheveled and was helping this stranger to speak, and she felt a little wary: "Senior sister... what is going on here?"
"If this Young Master Xia hadn't come to the rescue, you and I would have been poisoned by the thief long ago."
Bai Xiang frowned and dragged it with one hand
There seemed to be a headache on her forehead, but she had already remembered what happened last night and asked hurriedly: "Where is Shen Xiao from the Haotian Alliance?"
"We have been repulsed by this young hero. It was this young hero who protected you and me all night. If it weren't for this young hero Xia, we would have been in great danger."
Baixiang was doubtful: "Sister, is it really this young hero who saved us?"
"You useless guy, I don't believe you when I tell you to practice martial arts hard on weekdays. But when the critical moment comes, you lose control. Is there anyone like you in the world who knocks himself against a wall and passes out?"
Baixiang blushed, thinking of hitting the wall before, and muttered: "Senior sister, at least I still have some fighting ability, unlike senior sister who can't help at all at the critical moment."
"What did you say!"
"..." Baixiang didn't dare to say any more.
"Okay, now that you're awake, stop arguing and go down to eat." Xia Shang interrupted the argument between the two.
Baixiang looked at Xia Shang, naturally knowing that he was the distinguished guest mentioned by the shopkeeper, but Baixiang didn't have a good impression of Xia Shang, he was just a conceited but good-looking young man.
Before Baixiang could recover, Xia Shang went out first and went straight to the hall downstairs.
When the waiter saw Xia Shang coming out of the two girls' room, he thought the wine he sent had an effect.
"Sir, are you awake?" The waiter greeted him enthusiastically.
Xia Shang nodded.
"Did you enjoy yourself last night? I didn't let you down, did you?"
Xia Shang did not explain, but gave the waiter some silver coins. Then the waiter happily went to prepare meals for Xia Shang.
The scene of the two people's playful conversation was seen by Bai Hua Bai Xiang who came after them.
Baixiang had never been very reassured about this person, and couldn't help but frowned: "Senior sister, what do you think they are talking about?"
Bai Hua also frowned: "What does it have to do with you?"
"Senior sister, have you forgotten? It was the bottle of wine that the waiter brought last night. It was that bottle of wine that caused so many things to happen to us. Even if it is true that there is an antidote in the wine, how did he know that Shen Laughter can poison us? And where did he get the antidote? Moreover, the two of us slept all night and didn’t know anything. Who knows what he did secretly behind the scenes? "
Although Bai Xiang is young,
But when he got serious, his mind was spinning very fast. After hearing what she said, Bai Hua suddenly felt that it made some sense.
How did the other party know that Shen Xiao was going to poison him?
Where did he get the antidote?
"Senior sister, we have to be careful. Maybe he and Shen Xiao have colluded long ago. Otherwise, why didn't this person kill Shen Xiao?"
Baixiang nodded: "Your worries are reasonable, but after all, they are just our guesses. In fact, the other party did help us. We cannot ignore the benefactor's kindness just because of our wild guesses. This is not the case in the world. Chivalrous style. In short...just be careful."
A quarter of an hour later, Xia Shang had a table full of good wine and food in front of him, which was even worse than the meal Shen Xiao treated the two girls to yesterday.
But the two girls in front of me refused to move their chopsticks.
Seeing this table of food, the two girls invariably thought of their experiences last night.
It was also because they were too careless and unprepared that they were poisoned so easily.
"You two, why don't you eat?"
Bai Hua frowned, not knowing how to answer.
Xia Shang did not hesitate to help the two of them. He took out a silver needle and handed it to the other party.
Seeing Xia Shang bring the silver needle, Bai Hua blushed slightly and said softly: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that we, sisters, have no appetite for the moment."
Xia Shang shook his head and inserted the silver needle into every dish on the table. The silver needle did not change color at all.
"Don't worry. Although I am a little arrogant, I can still be regarded as a serious person. There is no need to use poison to deal with the two girls. I am also aware of their worries. I just can't figure out why I have the solution. Medicine, and why do you know that Shen Xiao poisoned it?"
After hearing what Xia Shang said, the two senior sisters looked at each other, quite surprised. They didn't expect that the other party could guess their worries.
Xia Shang continued to explain: "To be honest, I have learned some medical skills and know that the most difficult thing to prevent when traveling in the world is poison, so I naturally need to carry some antidote with me."
Baixiang asked: "How did the young hero know that Shen Xiao wanted to poison us?"
"On the surface, he is respectful to both of you, but his eyes are full of greed, and he must have no good intentions. Besides, the poison on his body smells like a poison. Just smell it and you will know what medicine to use to detoxify it."
