In a windowless room, there was an indescribable pungent smell in the darkness. Even Yu Ji couldn't tell how many kinds of exotic flowers and herbs were mixed in this smell.
The strange smell stimulated Yu Ji's nerves, causing her to gradually wake up from her drowsiness.
She couldn't see anything, she only knew that she was on an uncomfortable bed, and there seemed to be a person not far in front of her.
Yu Ji was shocked, she immediately sat up and shouted: "Who?"
There was no response in the darkness.
There was nothing in this dark room, it was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard, and it seemed extremely depressing.
"Who is it?! Stop pretending!"
After this shout, a firelight suddenly disappeared in the darkness, and an oil lamp as dim as a star gradually lit up. A simple table and an incomplete bed gradually appeared in the darkness.
It was the young man sitting at the table.
"Xia Chunqiu! Where is this?"
"A place for quiet conversation."
"what are you up to?"
"It's very simple, let me let you go."
"Let him go? Will it be that simple?"
"I know things won't be that simple, that's why I need to discuss it with you here."
Something was wrong here, and Yu Ji felt uneasy. She checked herself and found that no one had touched her body, so she felt a little calmer.
"Xia Shang, do you really think that I am just a helpless woman? Do you really think that I have no means to escape from your hands if I am careless and caught by you?"
"You can try."
Yu Ji sneered: "Do you know why I was given the position of No. 5 by the Chief of Staff in Chunfang Division?"
"Since ancient times, medicine has always been good at treating poison. People who are good doctors must be good at using poison. What you rely on is just your ability to use poison."
Yu Ji was shocked, she didn't expect this person to know!
"In this case, you still dare to be alone with me? I was unwilling to kill you before, not that I couldn't kill you! Now that I am talking to you, my poisonous powder is already in the air, and now you are afraid that the poisonous gas has entered your body.
, passed away soon."
"Yu Ji, it seems that your pastoral days in Suzhou have made you regress a lot. Now you are still so self-righteous. Don't you notice the difference in this room at this moment?"
There is indeed something different here, especially the weird smell, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Yu Ji didn't check it for a moment and couldn't tell the reason, but Xia Shang's tone at this moment made her feel something was wrong.
From the first words Yu Ji said when she woke up, she was already using her words to spread poisonous mist.
The poisonous gas in Yu Ji's mouth is not trivial. It was produced by years of experimenting with poisons and using medicines. Various toxins remained in her mouth. However, through her practice, she was able to hide these toxins between her lips and tongue, so that they could be retracted and released freely, becoming invisible.
A weapon used to kill people.
This poison is nameless but very powerful. Ordinary people will die if they touch it. Even people with high martial arts skills will have obvious poisoning reactions within a few moments after being exposed to this poison.
But after a long time, and after a long conversation with Xia Shang, the tone of the boy's words did not change at all, and he was obviously not poisoned.
"How can it be?"
Yu Ji felt suspicious and was about to speak, but Xia Shang spoke first.
"It seems you have discovered something, right? No poison will work here."
"How is it possible?!" Yu Ji flatly denied it. She was an expert in using poisons, so she naturally had an understanding of poisons. She didn't believe there was a place in the world that could naturally resolve any toxins. Let alone the ordinary black people who had this opinion.
room.
"Actually, I don't believe it, but so far, it does work here. If you don't believe it, you can try again."
Yu Ji did not speak, but the situation at this moment aroused her desire to win.
Someone actually made her feel safe and bold enough to try poison?
Yu Ji waved her hand, and suddenly the room was filled with mist, and colorful smoke suddenly filled the air.
Xia Shang was also shocked. He didn't expect that this seemingly easy-going woman could create such a battle in an instant.
However, this colorful mist seemed scary, but it gradually disappeared without a trace after floating in the room, and Xia Shang felt nothing at all.
"Impossible!" Yu Ji was shocked, "How could this happen?"
Yu Ji has never encountered such a situation in her life of using poison, but the fact is right in front of her, which is simply unbelievable.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Ji seemed to realize something: "It's that smell! But... but how is it possible? A smell can dissolve my incurable poison?"
Xia Shang smiled happily when he saw it: "It seems that you are really a dangerous person. If you didn't have such a room, I really wouldn't dare to talk to you alone."
"What exactly is this place?"
"This is just a place where an old poisoner lived, and his breath remains in it. Although it smells bad, it can dissolve hundreds of poisons."
"What? Just one person's breath can dissolve my poison?"
"Girl, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world." Xia Shang said lightly, "If we accept the reality, can we start exploring?"
There was no immediate answer as it would take some time for her to resolve the situation.
She really couldn't imagine who the people living here were, and even her master couldn't dissolve the toxins with just his breath.
After a long time, Yu Ji finally recognized her situation.
It seems that what she has learned about the chief minister is only a very small part. The youngest chief minister of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in history is really not a simple person.
"Well, since the First Lord has tried so hard to negotiate with the little woman, then the First Lord can tell us how we want to negotiate."
"My conditions are very simple, let him go and pay back the wine."
"that's all?"
"That's it." Xia Shang nodded in confirmation.
But Yu Ji smiled miserably: "Your Excellency, this little woman is not a three-year-old child. The head of the twelve divisions came to the door and simply let her go?"
"What do you think it is?"
"The little woman has seen too many, the Metropolitan Procuratorate... no, it should be the imperial court. How could the imperial court let me go so easily? Although the little woman does not consider herself to be an independent sect, she is still controlled by the independent sect. Zeng Lu
When the leader came to power, he began to clean up the independence faction. The court will not let any independent faction be free in the world. Now the little woman has offended you, the new leader. The little woman knows that she is
There is no way to survive."
"I said, how come you, a woman, are so self-righteous? There is no enmity between you and me, so why should I have trouble with you? As for all the things you heard about in Yangzhou, they are all people who want to harm me, and I have no choice but to fight back. This time
We have not yet formed a big feud between you and me. If we each take a step back and turn a blind eye, at least we will not become enemies in the future."
"The little woman understands what the First Lord means. But the First Lord knows that when you are in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you have many things you can't help yourself with. How easy is it to get out? Just like the Zhu family in Yangzhou, what if you want to leave? In the capital
The Procuratorate, whether it is the independent faction or the old faction, must take sides."
"Since you have to take sides, why don't you stand on my side?" (To be continued)
