Chapter 182 - Test Drug
In the silence of the night, a figure climbed over a low wall and entered a yard. As he gently pushed open the door, the light inside suddenly lit up.
He subconsciously stepped back and heard a familiar laughter coming from inside, “You came back so late, you kept me waiting!”
He put away his precaution and stepped through the door, closing it behind him. “Why are you in my room?”
“Aiya, seeing you out in the middle of the night and thinking that you've gone out to court, how could you know how to wait and wait. It's been a long time and you still haven't come back. I'm so tired!”
“What are you waiting for me for?”
“In the middle of the night, a man and a woman, apart from chatting, what else can they do?” Zuo Shaotang's gaze swept across the other party's black clothes as he chuckled and said, “Dressed like this, don't ever tell me that you've gone for a stroll.”
Xiao Feng took off the mask on his face and casually threw it on the table. He walked to the side of the bed and changed his black clothes, then said: “If there's something you want to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush.”
“You're pretty straightforward. Why don't you tell me honestly, why did you stay in the Third Prince Mansion?”
“What else could it be? Is it something we can leave for as long as we want to?” Xiao Feng slanted his eyes at him, “Then why are you staying here?”
Zuo Shaotang stood up and stretched his back, then walked around Xiao Feng twice, rubbing his chin and said: “I just want to see your goal, our Sky Piercing Sect's Right Protectorate, is the most boring and the most unruly of people, to actually follow me all the way to the capital, and yet you still refuse to leave, even saying that you don't have any tricks up your sleeve doesn't make me believe you.”
“I've already said it before, we can't leave just because we want to. Does the owner of this mansion agree?”
Hehe, we understand that. Although we were captured here in the beginning, but to be honest, the Third Prince and that Seventh Young Master Huo did not send anyone to watch over us. Our injuries are almost healed.
“Don't underestimate this mansion. It's not easy to leave.” Xiao Feng retorted lightly.
“It's not easy, but it's not like you can't leave. The question is, have you ever thought of leaving?” Zuo Shaotang walked in front of Xiao Feng and stared into his eyes, “Tell me, what is your goal?”
Xiao Feng opened his eyes wide, “Why should I tell you?”
“That's true. You've always had this kind of personality. I'm afraid that you've never trusted me before, right?”
Xiao Feng took a step back when he saw the sorrowful look on his face, “Enough, don't use this trick again. Do you think I would fall for it?”
Zuo Shaotang's eyes flashed with a look of regret, but he immediately laughed like a spring flower, “Alright, I won't force you, but do you need an accomplice? I think you probably didn't manage to get anything tonight. One more person makes you more powerful. “
In fact, Zuo Shaotang had observed him for several nights already. Initially, he still had the patience to wait for him to reveal himself or for him to take the initiative to ask for help.
Xiao Feng walked over to open the door, and said coldly: “You don't have to worry about me.”
Zuo Shaotang knew his character, it seemed that he had returned empty-handed tonight. He walked over helplessly, and when the other party wasn't looking for him, he pinched his face, leaving a sentence: “You are getting colder and colder.” Then he ran away as fast as he could.
“You …” Xiao Feng stood at the same spot with a dark expression. After a long time, he slammed the door and laid on the bed to rest.
He naturally had a reason for staying here, just like when he chased them to the Hui State City. It was for the peerless skills possessed by the two of them.
However, in the following days, he was actually unable to even enter the courtyard of the two men. At all times, that courtyard had people controlling it. Regardless of whether it might be on the surface or in the dark, it was not that easy to deal with it.
Moreover, he wasn't sure if there were any secret manuals for such cultivation techniques. If they were just memorized, then it would be extremely difficult for him to obtain these two cultivation techniques.
Even the High Priestess was no match for him, so naturally, he would not be a match for him.
He cast his gaze next door. Perhaps he really could get that person to help him. In terms of strategy, he would definitely not be able to catch up with him.
Closing his eyes, Xiao Feng thought about it carefully and decided to talk to Zuo Shaotang sometime tomorrow.
The next morning, Yin Xu woke up in Teng Yu's embrace, extended his hand and caressed's chin which was covered in stubble, and then caressed himself. Suddenly, he realized something, it was as if he had never grown a beard in his entire life.
In his previous life, he did not care about his appearance or appearance. Moreover, there were some methods in the Cultivation World that made him look like he was eighteen every day.
“What's wrong?” Teng Yu's low voice came from above his head. When he opened his eyes, he saw this man rubbing his chin with a conflicted expression, as if something was amiss.
“Nothing.” Yin Xu replied depressingly. If this was the case in his life, he would be discovered sooner or later. What kind of reason would he be looking for then?
He guessed that this should be related to his physique and the Devilish Exercise he was cultivating. The Profound Yin Body was not masculine in the first place, and the Devilish Exercise that he was training in was dark and gloomy. It was indeed different from a normal man.
It was not only his beard, it seemed that other than his hair, the rest of his body had very little hair. Teng Yu had laughed at him more than once, saying that he had not grown up yet.
Teng Yu lowered his head and kissed Yin Xu's lips, “Do you really want me to eat you right away?!”
Yin Xu was startled, only then did he realize that not only had he reached out to touch Teng Yu's armpits and crotch, he had even felt it himself, which in Teng Yu's eyes was extremely alluring.
Yin Xu pushed him away and sat him down, “Stop messing around, it's time to wake up.” They should be leaving in two days. There were some things that had to be done before they left.
“Did you find out about the medicine?” What exactly is it? ” Yin Xu got off the bed, opened his arms, and waited for Teng Yu to change his clothes.
Teng Yu was also used to doing these things himself, “There's already a picture, the details should be there today.”
Back then, he had gotten some medicinal ambergris from the Emperor's Bedroom Hall and immediately ordered a few of his trusted doctors to examine what had been added inside.
However, those imperial physicians weren't adept at poisons. They had to look through a large number of books to find something similar. They had to wait for the results of their experiments to see if they were right.
Teng Yu originally thought that Yin Xu would know, but this person only shook his head and told him three words: “I've never seen him before.”
Yin Xu truly knew how to refine medicine and poison, but all that he knew was accumulated from his previous life. He was absolutely helpless against the herbs and poisons that he had never seen before in this world.
After washing up, the two of them had breakfast together. When they walked out of the door, they immediately saw Wang Ren standing obediently outside the courtyard.
Yin Xu frowned, he felt that this brat was still far from his perfect disciple. He walked over and knocked on his little head, and asked: “What are you doing here so early in the morning?”
Wang Ren covered his head and looked at him, and stuttered: “Big brother Han said that he has something to do, so I came to rest today to see if master had any instructions.”
Based on his conscience, this brat was really not a qualified attendant. After serving beside Yin Xu for a while, he had only understood how to pour tea.
Go back and do what I instructed you last night. Wait for me to come back from Jiangnan to check things out, don't think that just because you entered the house that everything is fine, I, one, am not satisfied, I can kick you out anytime! “” Alright!
“Oh.” Wang Ren answered with a red face, then turned and ran.
Teng Yu's gaze fell on the figure that was walking far away, and from beginning to end, he could not see how this brat could be accepted by Yin Xu as his last disciple.
“Let's go.” Teng Yu pulled him to a forbidden area in the backyard. This place was Yin Xu's pharmacy before, and it was now one of the Palace's forbidden areas.
He squinted his eyes and looked, only to see that the pharmacy that he usually cleaned up had become a mess. There were many books scattered on the table and many papers on the floor, and two old men were staring at a cage, not moving at all, not even reflecting when they entered.
“Cough, cough …” Teng Yu reminded them, and the two immediately turned around with their faces filled with fatigue. They had thick black circles around them and were extremely excited.
“Your Highness …” One of the old men hurriedly ran over, gave a simple salute and pulled the man in.
Yin Xu frowned, and followed him in.
“You see, Elder Shu and I used the powder on three different animals. There wasn't any special reaction during the first few days, but last night, these three animals had different degrees of conditions.”
Teng Yu walked to the front of the cage and observed it carefully, but did not find anything special about the animals inside.
He looked at the two old doctors, waiting for them to answer.
The old man excitedly said, “It's like this. From last night, they became restless. They went back and forth in their cages, even provoking each other. They seem extremely irritable.”
Teng Yu thought about the current situation of the emperor and nodded, “That is to say, this medicine will gradually cause people to lose their patience, make them irritable and irritable?”
“That's the initial confirmation. As for whether there are any other symptoms, I have to continue to observe.”
Teng Yu did not tell them where the powder came from, but the two old doctors were not stupid people either.
However, after knowing the answer, they were all secretly shocked. They didn't know who dared to poison that person.
“Alright, then I'll be counting on you two. It would be even better if I could develop the antidote.”
“This… If it wasn't for our specialties, things would be a bit difficult for us. “
Teng Yu did not make things difficult for them, he only told them to do their best and at the same time send people to search for famous doctors.
Yin Xu stood in front of the cage and reached out his hand to tease a rabbit. That rabbit's eyes were extremely red, and it pounced towards him ferociously, attempting to bite his finger.
“Are there no other problems with their bodies? Sick or something? ” Yin Xu asked.
The two imperial physicians replied in unison. “There's temporarily no such thing.”
Yin Xu thought about the emperor's body and frowned, “Should we change people to test the medicine? There is a difference between his physique and that of an animal's.”
“This …” The two imperial physicians looked troubled. It wasn't that they didn't know this, but if they were to experiment on living people, they wouldn't be able to get through it.
Yin Xu understood their concerns, and said smilingly: “Don't worry, I just happen to have someone who's about to die, and it's good for him to contribute a little.”
