Riding the Pheonix Chapter 371: Poison

Hou Liang talked to people as he walked.

"Hero, you are from the Central Plains, why are you in Hudi?"

There is no sound from behind.

Hou Liang continued: "Are you like me, coming to a barbaric place to make a living? We are all from the Central Plains, and we can be considered fellow villagers. We all say that we meet old friends in a foreign land..."

"Shut up!" The hoarse voice cut off his words.

Hou Liang swallowed and closed it obediently. After a while, he started crying again: "The fortune teller said that I am a lone star of evil, and I will not die a good death in this life, but it is really true. I think back then, I was doing well in my hometown, my parents were here, I had a wife and children, I just waited He wanted to take the exam to gain fame and honor his ancestors, but he was inexplicably involved in a fraud case, was dismissed from the exam, and was never allowed to take the scientific exam. Later, his parents were forced to death, the family fields were taken away, and the youngest son's beloved wife died of illness one after another... He was left alone. I had no choice but to engage in a lowly business. I finally earned a little fortune, but was forced by my opponents, so I could only take my only wealth to gamble in the wild land, hoping to turn around, but who knows..."

He cried intermittently for a while, and when there was no response from the back, he said cautiously: "Hero, to tell you the truth, those two are not my guys, but girls I met on the road. They are beautiful, but they have thorns. Easy to pick. Now that I have met you, a hero, I think you are more worthy of them. They know martial arts and are difficult to deal with. How about I help you control them, hero, just treat it like a fart and let me go?"

There was finally movement behind me, and the hoarse voice asked: "Oh, how can you help me?"

Hou Liang said: "It's not difficult. I take care of their diet. If I put a medicine in them... won't I let you do whatever you want?" As he said that, he laughed.

There was silence behind me. After a while, I heard him say: "Okay, but you have to take my secret poison first, otherwise I won't believe you."

Hou Liang looked confused, and finally gritted his teeth: "Okay! But you have to keep your word, good man! I don't want money or women, I just want this life...ah! Hiccup!"

A hand suddenly stretched out from behind, stuffed something into his mouth, slapped it hard, and swallowed it.

Hou Liang was so panicked that he pinched his throat and wanted to vomit.

Withdrawing the knife that was against him behind him, Hou Liang vomited twice without spitting out. He looked up and saw a dry and haggard face.

This man was probably in his fifties. Like the poor herdsmen on the grassland, he wore a worn-out old sheepskin. His hair is gray, his face is deeply wrinkled, and his eyes are as fierce as a wolf.

"Good, good man!" Hou Liang stuttered.

In his fifties, he looks like an old man because of poor maintenance. But this old man was more ruthless than the most ferocious robber he had ever seen.

He can kill, he really can kill!

Cold sweat broke out on Hou Liang's back.

This person is Sheng Qi.

This month, he has been following Su Tu.

He was alone and acted carefully, but Su Tu didn't notice.

Sheng Qi is waiting for an opportunity.

Like a wolf that has spotted its prey but lacks the strength to capture it, it follows the hunter, waiting for both of them to be injured, and then rushes out and bites the prey's neck off.

Now, he has waited.

Hou Liang didn't know Sheng Qi, but that didn't stop him from being afraid.

The killing intent in Sheng Qi was too strong.

"Take off the water bag." He said coldly.

Hou Liangzhan followed the instructions carefully.

Sheng Qi opened one of them, threw something into it, shook it twice, and said, "Give that girl a drink."

Hou Liang was stunned for a moment.

Knowing that Duofu is a girl, so this person knows a lot about their situation?

"Yes." He took it with a low eyebrow.

……

Hou Liang returned to the camp, his steps staggering.

"Sir is back." Duofu greeted.

Hou Liang smiled weakly and handed her the water bag on his back, but said: "It's cold, girls, it's better not to scrub, otherwise it will be bad if you get cold."

Duofu said: "It's not winter yet!"

"It's the wilderness after all." Hou Liang said.

Duofu tilted his head and thought for a while: "It makes sense, just bear with it a little longer, I will wipe the sweat of the lady."

Hou Liang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said: "Then let me boil some water? Miss Duofu, you haven't eaten yet!"

"Alright."

Duofu half-knelt beside Mingwei to take care of her. Over there, Hou Liang untied the water bag he had been holding and poured it into the kettle.

His hands were shaking badly and he spilled a lot outside.

He swallowed and said: "Miss Ming is a lady after all, and she doesn't drink raw water in the wild."

Duofu replied: "Miss said that the disease enters through the mouth, and drinking raw water will cause stomach upset."

"It makes sense. So, isn't all water poisonous?"

Duofu smiled and said: "It's not considered poisonous, it's just the things outside, which are somewhat unclean."

"Same."

After being quiet for a while, Hou Liang asked again: "Is Miss Ming asleep?"

"The young lady is seriously injured and cannot bear the fatigue."

Hou Liang said "Oh" and said as if unintentionally: "Why didn't Miss Ming poison the arrow earlier? In that case, it can be solved at once."

"How can there be such a powerful poison in this world!" Duofu said, "Xiaobai was fine when he was alive, but he is... In short, there are no conditions. It is not easy for the young lady to do this."

When the water boiled, Hou Liang poured it into a bamboo tube and brought it to Duofu: "Girl, please drink some dry food with the water, but don't starve."

"Okay."

The two people's eyes immediately separated.

After finishing the meal, Duofu packed up and went to sleep.

She lay next to Mingwei in her clothes, never leaving him.

It was getting dark, and the wind blew across the field, bringing a rustling sound.

The footsteps mixed in there are not clear.

Hou Liang didn't know when he got up again. He huddled aside from a distance and watched Sheng Qi approach step by step.

Sheng Qi glanced at him contemptuously, picked up the knife in his hand, and stabbed Mingwei.

"Ding——" a long sound sounded.

Duofu jumped up and slashed at Sheng Qi's wrist with the dagger that had just blocked him.

Sheng Qi was shocked, but fortunately he kept his vigilance and turned around in time.

Unfortunately, Duofu's strength was so great that his hands went numb and he couldn't hold the knife in his hand.

Fortunately, he turned around in time and kicked the dagger out of Duofu's hand.

The two quickly exchanged hands.

Sheng Qi's superb moves ~IndoMTL.com~ beat Duofu by a lot, but Duofu was extremely powerful and had surging internal energy, which did not allow him to take advantage for a moment.

The two of them exchanged palms, but neither could bear the force and were knocked back.

Sheng Qi looked at Duofu and was very surprised: "Didn't you drink that water?"

"Have you ever heard of Xuanming Jade?" A voice that did not belong to Duofu sounded leisurely.

Sheng Qi turned around and saw Mingwei slowly sitting up from the haystack, his face still pale but his mind very clear.

She looked at Sheng Qi with a smile: "Master Qi is really cautious. Even though I was seriously injured, he still chose to poison me first. Oh, no, this is not poison, but your special medicine, right? It can make people unable to perform energy. This kind of medicine can be cured by Xuanming Jade."
