He watched helplessly as the man in black took the little girl away, and the house was about to collapse due to fire. The guards hurriedly pulled him out.
"Second Young Master, the house is about to collapse, let's get out first!"
As soon as I escaped from the house, there was a bang and the entire thatched house collapsed.
"Second Young Master, I've been kidnapped. What should I do?"
Pei Duqin was still thinking about the pattern he had just accidentally spotted. He came back to his senses when he heard the guard's question.
"It's okay. The assassin is already dead. Her sister is so young and must not know anything. Let's go and kill the other person first."
Originally, Pei Duqin didn't want to attack an innocent little girl who was not even old enough to have a hairpin and didn't know anything. If he really killed her to silence her, he would be truly cruel and ruthless.
After the little girl was taken away by the men in black, Pei Duqin actually felt relieved.
Before rushing to the next location, Pei Duqin made new arrangements: "Our troops are divided into two groups. One of your groups will go this way, and the other group will follow me around."
Those men in black should be Qi Jue's people. They must have been secretly following him at that time, so they appeared at the critical moment.
It’s fine that the little girl was kidnapped, but the other person named Jing Gong cannot be kept and must be silenced as soon as possible!
Pei Duqin walked around all the way and carefully observed whether anyone was following him. After finding nothing unusual, he walked around to a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city.
Because the detour wasted a lot of time, Jing Gong has been waiting for a while.
"Are you Jing Gong?"
Pei Duqin put on a black cloak, with the wide brim covering half of his face.
Jing Gong hurriedly stepped forward with a flattering smile, "That's right. Are you here to pay the balance?"
"You are so brave. You dare to use fake medicine to defraud money. Do you want to live?"
As Pei Duqin stretched out his hand, the long sword was unsheathed and placed firmly on Jing Gong's neck, scaring him so much that his legs almost weakened.
"I...I don't know what your words mean. I come from the Seven Star Sect. Our sect's poisons are definitely second to none in the world. There is no such thing as fake medicine!"
Pei Duqin sneered, "That's nonsense. You said with certainty before that the Heart-Eating Gu is one of the top ten poisons in the Seven Star Sect. There is no antidote. Once you take it, you will definitely die. But anyone who takes this poison will die."
Not only did he not die, but he was detoxified quickly, how do you explain it?"
Jing Gong opened his mouth to deny: "This is impossible..."
"Stop talking nonsense, if you dare to lie about this matter, just stay here!"
The long sword came closer again, and Jing Gong knelt down with a plop, "Young knight, I... I swear, I am absolutely not talking nonsense. Young knight knows something. There are two holy books in the Seven Star Sect, one is called "
The Classic of Ten Thousand Poisons, this book records hundreds of poisons.
The other book, called "Wonderful Prescriptions", can solve the poisonous prescriptions in "The Book of All Poisons". However, a few years ago, a fire broke out in the library of the Seven Star Sect. "Wonderful Prescriptions" was burned in the fire, and the sect was destroyed.
Exhausting my efforts up and down,
No one can prepare the top ten antidotes in the "Ten Thousand Poisons Classic", which means in other words, even the people within the sect cannot solve the heart-eating poison, how can outsiders be able to solve it."
Pei Duqin pondered for a moment, "If there is no cure, then why can the person who takes it still be alive?"
"This...this..."
When the long sword came closer and cut the skin of his neck, Jing Gong suddenly thought of the key point, "I remembered that although there is no cure for the heart-eating Gu, there is a prescription that can temporarily cause the body to tremble after taking it.
The poisonous insects fall into a deep sleep, so that they can temporarily save their lives."
"Temporarily put the voodoo into a deep sleep. In other words, if the voodoo is not removed, it will still wake up? How to wake up the voodoo?"
Jing Gong was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and replied tremblingly: "Once a person is poisoned, he will use his internal power to activate the poison immediately. After waking up, the poison will be even more ferocious than before. Within a quarter of an hour,
It can only penetrate into the body of the person who has been poisoned, gnaw out his heart, and kill him on the spot!"
Pei Duqin recalled that after Qi Jue came out of the inner hall, although he said that the poison had been cured, his face looked sickly pale.
Combined with what Jing Gong said about the possibility of the Gu insect temporarily sleeping, Pei Duqin understood.
From this point of view, there must be no solution to the poisonous bug in Qi Jue's body. Once the poisonous bug awakens again, he will definitely die!
"I see. Is everything you said true?"
Jing Gong immediately raised his hand and swore: "I can swear to God that everything I just said is true. If there is even half of a sentence that is false, I will be struck by thunder and die badly!"
"Very well, this box of gold is all yours."
The guard on the side handed over a wooden box and opened it in front of Jing Gong. There was a row of golden gold ingots lying inside. Jing Gong's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Thank you so much, young hero! Thank you so much, young hero!"
Just when he was about to take it with both hands, a sword suddenly penetrated from the top of the wooden box, heading towards Jing Gong's lifeline!
Before Jing Gong even had time to react, the sword edge had already penetrated his body!
At this moment, a figure climbed in from the window, shot a short arrow, and came towards the guard.
In order to avoid the short arrow, the guard could only sheath his sword immediately and step back several steps.
Immediately afterwards, several agile figures came in. Pei Duqin took a look and recognized this group of people. They were the men in black who had just kidnapped the little girl!
"Do it, no one will be left alive!"
The two parties quickly fought together, while Jing Gong covered his chest and struggled to crawl outside to escape.
Pei Duqin didn't want to fight with the man in black, so he stabbed Jing Gong in the back with his sword.
But suddenly a hidden weapon was shot towards him on his right. Pei Duqin hurriedly used the back of his sword to block it, but his arm was still cut open by the hidden weapon.
While he was being cut, the man in black grabbed Jing Gong and grabbed him. Jing Gong shouted: "Hero, spare your life! Hero, spare your life..."
Before he could even finish shouting for mercy, Jing Gong rolled his eyes and fainted!
The man in black stopped fighting and quickly threw a smoke bomb on the ground. Pei Duqin quickly covered his mouth and nose. By the time the smoke bomb dissipated, the man in black had already run away with Jing Gong.
"Chase!"
The guard was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Pei Duqin: "Did that sword just hit that man's heart?"
"It hit him, but it didn't penetrate his heart and kill him with one blow."
Pei Duqin put the sword into its scabbard and said: "If he can't survive, he will be captured. By the time they interrogate him, his body will be cold."
Just at this time, a white dove flew over. Pei Duqin reached out to catch it and opened the letter. It was a message from Queen Pei, asking him to return to the palace quickly.
"My nephew has met the imperial aunt."
When Queen Pei saw Pei Duqin coming, she immediately got down from her seat and said, "Qin'er, have everyone been dealt with?"
