"It turns out that since then, the college has begun to arrange many things for the west. -< Shuhai Pavilion >-("
Lin Xi laughed to himself in his heart. Only then did he understand why An Keyi said goodbye to him early and left the academy.
The more this happened, the more he felt that he was still a very small fish in a big river.
"In case we all get hit by 'quicksand', teacher, how many people can the antidote in your hand save?" Lin Xi's expression became serious, and she looked at An Keyi seriously and asked.
An Keyi stretched out his hand: "Three."
Looking at An Keyi's three jade-like onion-like fingers, Lin Xi didn't feel the slightest bit charming. She smiled bitterly and thought to herself, the antidote is indeed very small.
"Teacher, since you can smell some of the sand scorpion poison, can't you use it to determine where the person who smelled Cang Yue is in the city?" Bian Linghan couldn't help but ask.
An Keyi shook his head, "The smell of 'tarsus' refined with sand scorpion venom is also very light. It can only be judged by its slightly green color. I can only detect it when it is in front of me... I noticed the 'tarsus'
'The place is configured, but it's just in an ordinary empty house by the river."
"That is to say, the smell of the sand scorpion poison is quite special. Teacher, you can only feel it, but the refining of the 'tarsus' of the sand scorpion poison has been completed." Lin Xi looked at An Keyi and said: "That is to say, the other party can use it at any time.
They might take action."
"'tarsus' and 'quicksand' are two poisons that only Gongsun Quan can refine." An Keyi snorted lightly and said calmly: "In the past month or so, the academy has confirmed that Gongsun Quan is here.
In this area, maybe he is in charge of Guiyun Province, but he has been operating secretly outside, and the academy does not know what he looks like... and some of the poisons he refined will flow out from here to other places in Yunqin
The sand scorpion poison has a unique rancid smell, but if it is ventilated, I cannot feel it as long as it lasts for more than four hours, so Gongsun Quan must have refined some poison within four hours.
"
Lin Xi thought for a while and said: "When the two groups of us meet together, we can solve the problem with one action... Gongsun Quan, who is under General Wenren, is also very lazy. But if we are careful not to go out or eat outside,
Something, but not good. {Updated by book friends}"
An Keyi looked at Lin Xi seriously and asked, "Why?"
"When it comes to things like poisoning and detoxification, no matter how powerful Gongsun Quan is, how can he be as good as you, the teacher? Otherwise, the college would not send you out to deal with him." Lin Xi looked at An Keyi and said, "But defense is always more difficult than plotting.
And the academy must want the teacher to pull out this nail and avoid future troubles... Because such a practitioner who can refine poison will have a greater impact on this battle in the west than a holy master. No one knows from now on
The poison flowing out of his hands will cause the death of many practitioners. If he thinks that we are obviously on guard and does not take action...or the number of times we take action is too few, I think you, teacher, will not be able to find him. After all, we don't even know what he looks like.
…Maybe he just passed by right under our noses and we don’t know.”
An Keyi's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly. She knew what Lin Xi said made sense, but she couldn't think of any good way to find out Gongsun Quan. After thinking for a moment, she still looked at Lin Xi and shook her head.
He shook his head and said: "Do you want to use bait to lure Gongsun Quan out? Since he has not even revealed his appearance and physical characteristics in these years, it shows that he is an extremely cautious and life-saving person. A poison master like him can
There are many ways to poison, but even if it fails, he will not show up, and if he finds out that someone like me exists, he may disappear or leave directly."
Gao Yanan, Bian Linghan and others nodded silently.
Even if a sword master or a Windrunner like Tong Wei kills someone, there will always be some traces from the flying swords and arrows, and some clues can always be seen when the action is taken. However, when killing someone with poison, Gongsun
Although people like Quan use this method, no one knows when it was carried out. It is simply impossible to find a cautious poisoner who doesn't know his face among hundreds of thousands of people in the city.
Lin Xi also frowned deeply, but unlike Gao Yanan and others, he always felt that An Keyi was there and that the other party was already preparing to attack them. Moreover, his special ability has not been used today, so he should always find it.
This person's method.
How can we catch this faceless Gongsun Quan, who may be an innkeeper, a cook, a beggar passing by, an old man, a young man, or even a woman?
?
Lin Xi thought hard, and the whole room fell into silence for a while.
…
…
In the northeast corner of Houque City, there is a famous restaurant called Zhaixinglou.
The Star-Zhaing Tower was built by gathering the wisdom of a group of the most famous carpenters in Houque City. It is nine stories high but is entirely built with wood inlaid with rivets without a single nail. It is breathtaking.
At this moment, in an elegant room on the ninth floor, there is a clean-shaven middle-aged and thin scribe drinking wine alone over a few exquisite side dishes. What he is looking at is not the stars in the sky, but the stars in the sky.
Looking at the Pine and Cypress House in the distance in the night.
Except for the fact that his cheekbones are particularly prominent because of his thinness, his face is not much different from the faces of most locals in Hoque City. It is very ordinary, but the nails on his hands are a bit too thick, and
They were all a little shrunken and curled, which made his ten fingers look a bit like dove claws, which suddenly made the aura on his body somewhat mysterious and gloomy.
There were footsteps at the door of this elegant room, and then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." The middle-aged scribe tapped his fingers lightly on the wine glass in his hand and spoke calmly.
A pot of Zhaixinglou's signature dishes, pickled bamboo shoots and big fish was brought in.
He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of the tenderest fish eye meat, chewed it slowly and ate it with a piece of delicious sour yellow bamboo shoots. The middle-aged scribe took out a white handkerchief, wiped it on the corner of his mouth, and then
Let go and let the white silk handkerchief fall down, floating in the thick and drunken night of Houque City.
In a night market in the distance, there is a small stall selling some bamboo wares. The stall owner is a cautious and honest middle-aged man in his forties.
His eyes had been looking at the window of Zhaixing Building intentionally or unintentionally. No one else saw the soft white silk handkerchief floating in the air at this moment, but he did.
Then he quietly put away his stall, which not many people paid attention to, and walked towards an alley.
Upstairs in Zhaixingzhai, a middle-aged and lean scribe turned the fish over, picked out another piece of the tenderest fish eye meat, and put it in his mouth to chew along with a piece of sour yellow bamboo shoots. Then he put down his chopsticks, as if
He was no longer interested in the extremely expensive Zhaixinglou's signature dish. He was so luxurious that he just wanted to eat the two small pieces of meat and the two small pieces of sour bamboo shoots in the entire large dish.
He didn't drink any more, he just took a cup of tea and rinsed his mouth.
Then he showed a look of satisfaction and sarcasm. Since there were no drinking companions present, he raised his head slightly, looked at the stars in the sky, and whispered to himself: "An Keyi... my poison
Naturally, your detoxification ability cannot be compared with that of you, the most powerful figure among the young generation in the Royal Medicine Department of Qingluan College. But this is a war, not a fair competition, how can you possibly take advantage of me?"
"Although your Qingluan Academy is powerful, like the Yunqin Empire, the bigger it gets, the easier it is to have traitors...I am different. In order to fight you, I have killed everyone who has revealed my identity in the slightest.
So I know you and the people you are escorting are inside, but you have no way of knowing who I am, or even that I know there is someone like you in this team."
"Just like now, I can be unscrupulous and kill all of you with poison at will, but you can't be as unscrupulous as me... And you don't know that I have an apprentice who can do these things for me, so from the beginning, Qingluan
There is no way the academy or you can defeat me. I am invincible."
"Have a good night."
This middle-aged and thin scribe had already rinsed his mouth and stopped drinking. But after muttering a few words to himself, a look of enthusiasm and fanaticism suddenly appeared in his eyes. He drank another glass of wine in one sip, and then poured out a glass of wine.
The wine poured down from the night sky towards the Songbai Residence and whispered: "This night will definitely be exciting."
"We will win!"
He then faced the western sky and the place where the person he served and respected was, bowed slightly, solemnity and fanaticism were strangely intertwined, and said in his heart.
The fine wine turned into wine odor and floated out from the eaves of Zhaixing Tower.
The pre-midnight festivities in Houque City have just begun.
In the east corner of the city, there were lanterns called Kongming Lanterns in Lin Xi's previous world, and flying fire lanterns in this world. They floated up and flew high into the sky.
Many people in Houque City discovered that the lampshades of these flying fire lanterns were actually a rare green color, shining with strange phosphorescence in the night sky. Some people couldn't help but point out novels.
