Yue Ling rushed to the Xuancheng dungeon late at night to visit Su Le who was trapped in the dungeon. As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, she was stopped by a dozen black-armored guards at the door.
"The camp master has an order. Without the camp master's order, no one is allowed to step into the dungeon, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!" One of the leading guards drew out his sword and shouted.
"Bold! I am the sister of your camp, Yue Ling. You dare to stop me, but you don't want your head anymore?" Yue Ling was so angry that she yelled at the leading soldier.
"Miss Yue, this is my duty, please forgive me!" The guard did not give in at all.
When Yue Ling saw this, she was extremely anxious. She was afraid that Su Le was being tortured inside, so she shouted: "Then don't blame me for being rude, the beasts will charge!"
As Yue Ling shouted, hundreds of monsters, including bison, tigers, cheetahs, mountain monsters, wild boars, etc. suddenly appeared at the entrance of the dungeon. They all bared their teeth and claws, and were extremely ferocious, rushing towards the dozen guards from all directions.
Seeing the sudden appearance of many monsters, the guards did not flee in panic as Yue Ling expected. Instead, they calmly drew out their swords, bowed and rushed towards the monsters.
Suddenly, bursts of swords and sword shadows, and the roars and neighs of monster beasts resounded continuously at the entrance above the dungeon. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of monster beasts were killed by the black-clad soldiers.
"Miss Yue, please come back!" The leading guard in black returned the sword to its sheath with a "clop" sound, walked up to Yue Ling, and said with one hand in a false gesture.
"You..." Yue Ling didn't expect that these dozen or so black-clothed guards were so strong. Although her own monsters were average in strength, there were also many monsters from the Martial Realm that were easily defeated by these guards.
Kill them all on the ground, but it is a pity that there is no longer the elixir "The Lead of Ten Thousand Snakes" at this time, otherwise these guards will be completely wiped out!
Yue Ling snorted and exited the Xuancheng dungeon. She knew that she would not be able to enter the dungeon if she fought hard. Moreover, she did not have the antidote in her hand. Even if she broke in, she would not be able to save Su Le. Although her father said
I will give Su Le the antidote within three days, but I always feel that he will not agree easily, and he may not ask for any harsh conditions then.
The best way is to find an opportunity to steal the antidote from Dad, and get some poison or the "Ten Thousand Snakes' Leading Pill" at the same time. Not only can Su Le be rescued, but the poison on his body can also be detoxified.
That night, Yue Ling returned to the City Lord's Mansion obediently. She just wanted to wait until Yue Shaoqing relaxed his guard before sneaking into his room to steal the elixir. Returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Yue Ling went to see Yue Shaoqing and unexpectedly discovered that Yue Shaoqing
She carried a brocade box with her, which must have contained various elixirs. However, since Yue Shaoqing was ready to rest, she naturally couldn't get it, so she returned it.
The next day, Yue Ling got up very early. As soon as she got up, she heard some vague noises outside, and there seemed to be the sound of military horns gathering in the west of the city. Yue Ling hurried to the hall and found that Yue Shaoqing was not there, so she pulled
He asked a soldier: "Where is my father?"
"Mr. Yue took Camp Leader Yue to the south gate of the city early in the morning." The soldier quickly lowered his head and replied.
"Going to the south gate of the city?" Yue Ling thought for a moment and suddenly realized that the army of the Later Tang Dynasty might be invading again. Both her father and Yue Mo led their troops to fight against the enemy.
"Okay, I understand. You all go and stay safe outside. Don't let anyone else come in so as not to disturb my lady's rest. I haven't slept well these past few days. I'll go back and take a nap." Yue Ling yawned repeatedly, pretending to be
Tsukuru looked like he hadn't slept well and said to the soldier.
"No." The soldier quickly lowered his head and said yes.
Yue Ling didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at her every move from the window of a room not far away.
When Yue Ling returned to the room and heard that the soldiers outside had withdrawn to the door of the city lord's mansion, she got up secretly, opened the door gently, and tiptoed to the room where Yue Shaoqing lived last night.
After arriving at the room, she immediately closed the door and searched the room.
"Did dad take him away with him?"
After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find the brocade box I saw last night, so I stood in the room, tilting my head and murmuring.
Suddenly, she remembered that when Yue Shaoqing was hiding elixirs at home, she usually liked to put expensive elixirs on the roof. This was also discovered by an unexpected opportunity when she was a child. Could it be?
When Yue Ling thought of this, she was so happy that she jumped on top of the cabinet next to her. When Yue Ling looked at the roof, she was so excited that she almost screamed.
On the roof beam of the house, there is the brocade box that I saw last night!
Although her personal martial arts level is not very good, she naturally cannot fly over the roof and take away the brocade box like Su Le did, but this little thing is not difficult for her.
"The goshawk appears, listen to my command!"
Yue Ling gave a shout and pointed her right hand towards the beam, and a ferocious goshawk appeared, hovering and landing on the beam, and then grabbed the brocade box with its two sharp and edgeless claws.
Then it slowly flew up and landed on Yue Ling's outstretched arm.
Yue Ling quickly picked up the brocade box caught on the goshawk's feet. After opening it, she found that there were seven small porcelain vases in the brocade box. The colors of these seven small porcelain vases were different, purple red and light blue.
, dark green, khaki, etc., and there are two porcelain bottles in black and white, but there is no label on each porcelain bottle what medicine it is, presumably only Yue Shaoqing himself knows.
"Which one is the antidote to Wuwudan?"
Yue Ling kept looking at the seven small porcelain bottles, looking left and shaking right. It would be useless if she just took all the boxes away. If she didn't know the antidote, then Su Le wouldn't know which one.
That's the antidote.
She opened several bottles and took a look, and found that there was a pill with the same color as the bottle lying in each bottle. Among them, the pill in the black and green vial was "The Lead of Ten Thousand Snakes", which she had taken last time when she was in a hurry.
It was this elixir, the "Linder of Ten Thousand Snakes", that my father had left for me to use for self-defense. There was only one pill.
"Not bad, at least I can recognize one!"
After Yue Ling happily poured out a grain of "Ten Thousand Snakes" from the small dark green porcelain bottle, she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the number of pills in each porcelain bottle.
This black-green porcelain bottle was empty after pouring out one pill. It seemed that there was one pill in each bottle. But since his father had already used a "Yuan Devouring Pill" on Su Le last night, then
, if he brought one pill in each bottle and used one last night, then the bottle containing the "Yuan Devouring Pill" should be empty.
When Yue Ling hurriedly opened the porcelain bottles one by one, most of the bottles contained a pill. Since she had just taken out a "Leader of Ten Thousand Snakes", the black and green bottle was now empty. Only that one
The black bottle and the white bottle do not contain one pill. The white bottle contains three pills, and the black bottle contains two pills.
Could it be that what these two bottles contain is the "Yuan Devouring Pill" or its antidote? Since his father used this poison on Su Le as soon as he came here, it must be that this poison is relatively easier to refine than other pills.
Make some, it's normal to have two or three.
According to Yue Ling's guess, since a "Yuan Devouring Pill" has been used tomorrow, the two pills left in the black porcelain bottle should be the "Yuan Devouring Pill", and there are three more pills in the corresponding white porcelain bottle.
The elixir is most likely the antidote to the "Yuan Devouring Pill".
"Forget it, whether it is or not, take it first, otherwise you won't be able to leave if you are discovered later!"
Yue Ling felt that she had spent too much time identifying medicines here, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She poured out two white pills from the white porcelain bottle, then let Goshawk take the box and place it on the beam.
Then he ran to the gate and saw that there were many soldiers guarding the gate, so he took out a white pill and put it into his mouth and drank it.
She knew that if this medicine was not an antidote, but some other medicine, he would know as soon as he tried it. If it was a very poisonous poison, soldiers would go to inform Yue Shaoqing when the poison occurred, and she could still be saved; if it was an antidote,
, it should be fine if you take it yourself. In this way, you can test whether it is an antidote. At least you can't let Brother Le take the poison after he has been poisoned!
After Yue Ling took the white pill, she stood at the door for a while. She didn't feel anything strange about her body. She was so happy that she ran all the way to the Xuancheng dungeon.
Just after she left, two people walked out of a wing of the Xuancheng Palace Lord's Palace, none other than Yue Shaoqing and Yue Mo.
"Dad, Ling'er stole the medicine and went out, but how can you conclude that the medicine she took is the 'Life and Death Pill'?" Yue Mo glanced at Yue Shaoqing and asked with some confusion.
"Ling'er has always been smart. She will definitely judge that the white porcelain bottle contains the antidote based on the number of pills." Yue Shaoqing said, stroking his beard, "Moreover, in order to test the medicinal properties of the pills, she may also try it on Su Le's behalf.
Eat, so I can't put poison in it."
"Do you really want to give the antidote to Su Le?"
Yue Mo was obviously a little surprised when he heard what Yue Shaoqing said. Since he couldn't put poison, he had to convince Yue Ling that it was the antidote. Could it be that the antidote was really stolen by Yue Ling?
"Haha, now that I have set up this trap, how can I let the duck fly? I have coated the three antidotes in the white porcelain bottle with the venom of the dissolved Life and Death Pill."
Yue Shaoqing tore open the folding paper fan with a bang and said lightly. He fanned the breeze slightly. In this late autumn weather, the cool breeze blowing out seemed to be able to pierce people's hearts.
"Then if Ling'er tries to eat the elixir, wouldn't it be..."
"It doesn't matter. If you and I don't activate the summoning technique, the toxicity of the Life and Death Pill will remain dormant in the body. Besides, I can also add antidote foam to Ling'er's meals in the future, so she will still be fine."
After listening to Yue Shaoqing's words, Yue Mo realized the meaning of the sentence "The old is still hot". If you want to achieve great things, you must be strong and ruthless on the one hand, and you must rely on scheming on the other.
