"Master Xia wants us to do nothing? How can this be done? We must quickly track down the murderer."
"I've already sent people to chase us. We are the only fighting force left here. We can't leave without authorization, otherwise a random group of people will kill everyone here."
Yueru frowned: "These people have nothing to do with us, why should we protect them?"
Xia Shang frowned lightly and glanced around, feeling helpless: "At least there are hundreds of lives. We can ignore one or two, but we can't stay out of the matter of the lives and deaths of hundreds."
Yueru doesn't seem to understand Xia Shang's theory. She can't understand why one or two people can be ignored, but hundreds of people must be controlled?
But seeing Xia Shang's firm eyes and unquestionable expression, Xiu Nujian, who had always had her own way of doing things, actually didn't refute.
"Everyone should be on guard and pay attention to anything suspicious here at any time. If you find anything suspicious, don't act alone. You must call your companions first."
"yes!"
Yueru gave an order, and all the disciples in Shuiyue Villa dispersed.
At this time, another group of people came downstairs, they were Xia Shang's subordinates.
"Master, what should we do?"
"Go and notify everyone in the Mingjian Villa to gather all the capable people in the Villa, and notify the people in the Swordsmith Alliance to guard the Swordsmith Alliance and prevent the sword furnace from being damaged."
Several people also followed the order and left.
"Sword furnace? What sword furnace?"
"It's the furnace used by the Swordsmiths' Alliance to forge swords. Because of its large size, it's given a special name, called the Sword Furnace."
Yueru thought of the two swords she saw today and couldn't help but wonder: "I don't believe that there is a swordsmith in this world who can use pig iron ore to forge a sword as strong as Jianyi. You must be responsible for this, right?"
No? How about taking me to see the sword furnace if you have the chance?"
"You're not a blacksmith, so what are you looking at?"
"I..." Yueru hesitated, thinking that she was really not qualified to ask others to take her to see the sword furnace.
"The sword furnace is just a large furnace, but with some special designs, the temperature of the fire can be higher, more stable, and it can also generate greater pressure. You also understand that in addition to the raw materials of the sword, sword making
In addition, firepower is also a very important factor. I rely on the sword furnace I designed, plus the original sword-making skills of Mingjian Villa, and the various sword-making techniques.
The exchange and comprehensive experience between the masters has led to today's Jianyi. As you know, the strength of iron is very high, even exceeding most so-called 'rare materials', but our current iron-making technology is not enough to make it possible.
Iron products are used to their full potential.”
Yueru was a little dazed, and Xia Shang didn't react at all.
Xia Shang was a little curious: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"No...it's nothing..." Yueru came back to her senses, "I was thinking that it was the young master's extensive knowledge that made both Master and Madam favor him favorably."
"This is called personality charm." Xia Shang joked.
There is probably only one such naughty man like Xia Shang in the world.
These words made the junior sisters beside Yueru laugh.
Yueru glared at the junior sister and whispered: "Why are you laughing?! Hurry up and be on guard!"
Although the situation is very dangerous, the greater crisis imagined has not yet occurred.
Xia Shang spoke briefly and then stared for nearly five minutes. Except for sporadic moans coming from around him, nothing strange happened around him.
At this time, Xian'er also came back, and shook her head helplessly in front of Xia Shang: "Nothing was traced... The person who poisoned seemed to have never thought of staying from the beginning, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"
"You didn't see anyone suspicious around?"
Xian'er shook his head: "I searched all the places where I could hide people, but found nothing. It seems that the person who poisoned me didn't think about arranging an ambush."
"Why is this?" Xia Shang frowned, confused for a moment.
Yueru asked doubtfully: "If the other party succeeded in poisoning, would he not have thought of arranging someone to kill him?"
"What you don't know is that although this kind of poison is extremely fast-acting and difficult to dissolve, it will not kill people. In other words, the poisoned person does not need any treatment. As long as he rests for a month, the effect of the poison will be gone.
It will dissipate naturally. If no ambush was arranged, then their poisoning would be useless, so why bother?"
This question has never been answered, but people from Mingjian Villa have arrived.
These disciples of Mingjian Villa are scattered everywhere. If Xia Shang hadn't sent someone to inform them, no one would have known that such a big change had occurred here.
They were all shocked when they saw the poisoned people all over the place.
"Master! Master! How are you?"
The disciples saw the owner of their village,
They all gathered around.
Xue Baihe was still able to speak: "Cover your mouth and nose. There is still a trace of poisonous powder in the air. Don't get poisoned too."
When everyone heard this, they quickly covered their mouths and noses.
Xia Shang also arrived in front of Xue Baihe and said to the disciples of Shuiyue Villa: "There are things I need on the note. I can prepare it as quickly as possible. If there is nothing in the villa, I can go to the nearby villages and towns and even go to the capital to buy it."
."
The disciple of Mingjian Villa took the note, didn't read much, and called the two brothers to leave.
Xia Shang said to the remaining people: "Now, all the people who have been poisoned here have been settled. The people from all the sects have been arranged to go back to their original residences, and I will detoxify them after I prepare the antidote."
The next time is to settle everyone here, especially the distinguished guests from various sects. No one can be neglected.
After all, if someone comes to Mingjian Villa as a guest, Mingjian Villa must be responsible for something like this happening.
Fortunately, things became stable at this time, no problems occurred, and no one died.
Only a few people were trampled in the chaos and suffered some superficial injuries.
The manpower of Mingjian Villa is limited, so it is not easy to arrange everyone. This work was busy until late at night.
If a group of people has not been settled, the people from Mingjian Villa will tell them to settle down first, and Mingjian Villa will try their best to find ways to detoxify everyone.
The note Xia Shang gave to the disciples of Mingjian Villa stated the raw materials for making the antidote. Because too many raw materials were needed and the amount of antidote needed to be prepared, it would not be possible to get all the medicinal materials together for a while.
Fortunately, Mingjian Villa has its own prescription and stocks a large amount of medicinal materials. Although not all Xia Shang needs, the missing items can be collected in the surrounding villages and towns, so there is no need to wait a day or two to buy them from the capital.
goods.
The disciples who had gone out rushed back before dawn the next day, and delivered the medicinal materials to Xia Shang without stopping, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just after these disciples returned to Mingjian Villa, an order was sent to the young master of the Haotian Alliance.
At this time, Xiao Yao was still lying on the bed, moaning feebly, but the person sitting next to him was not from the Haotian Alliance.
There were three people beside Xiao Yao. They were all wearing black robes and their appearance could not be seen clearly.
After getting the order, Xiao Yao sat up from the bed with difficulty and handed the order to the man in black robe.
