Chapter 70
After lunch, Xia Zijin asked Fang Jingzhe to carry water upstairs on the pretext of taking a bath.

Of course, taking a bath is false, and the two need to discuss a plan to be true.

As soon as Fang Jingzhe entered the door with the bucket in hand, Xia Zijin asked her personal maid to wait at the door.

When boarding the boat, Fang Jingzhe noticed that it was not Xiao Tao who accompanied Xia Zijin, but a maid whom he was not familiar with.

But it's okay, Xiaotao didn't like him at first, so if she didn't come, there would be no conflicts.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Xia Zijin said: "The government notified that someone intended to disrupt the oiran competition, and that's why all the candidates were suddenly allowed to stay in the moon-lanning boat. But the news I got was different. It said that it was yesterday. Someone made a lot of noise on the street at night, and I don't know where it came from."

Fang Jingzhe saw that Xia Zijin's appearance did not seem to be pretending, as if he really didn't know anything.

After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe it's because of me."

"Because of you?" Xia Zijin looked at him incredulously, "What did you do?"

"I came out from your place last night and was attacked by a man in black." Fang Jingzhe said calmly.

"The man in black? Sneak attack?"

Xia Zijin raised her eyebrows, and after pondering for a while, she asked, "Have you figured out where that person is?"

"I don't know which group of people it is, but I knew it was a hidden weapon. After a few moves, I disabled my right hand. I wanted to take his life, but when I encountered the guards patrolling, I had to leave first."

Xia Zijin was a little hesitant, he thought Fang Jingzhe was bragging, but hearing what he said was serious, combined with last night's Forbidden Army operation and the government's notification, it seemed to be true.

Moreover, she did not expect Fang Jingzhe's kung fu to be so good.

In fact, Fang Jingzhe didn't tell the truth, for example, he didn't disclose the matter of Rotten Tomatoes.

If he said it, Xia Zijin might think that he was out of his mind.

However, Fang Jingzhe still told his guess.

"I was ambushed by the men in black just after I left the Chunfeng Building. I'm afraid there is some connection between them."

Xia Zijin looked up at Fang Jingzhe, "Do you want to say that there is a traitor around me? Or...do you think I betrayed the lord?"

Fang Jingzhe was waiting for her words.

I am not afraid that you will ask, but I am afraid that you will not speak.

Since you dare to guess, don't blame me for taking your word for it.

"My lord wants to get two prizes. Based on your relationship with the little emperor, just ask him for it. If it is said that the lord wants that item after he takes out the lottery, you can also let it go." The little emperor asked someone to take back the two lottery prizes. But you didn't do that, why?"

Fang Jingzhe sees the matter straight to the point and hits the vital point directly.

Xia Zijin's face changed color, and he was silent for a while.

After a long time, she said quietly: "How dare I betray the Lord."

As she spoke, she rubbed her left wrist fiercely with her right hand, and then showed her left wrist to Fang Jingzhe.

Fang Jingzhe looked over intently, and saw that a piece of powder had been wiped off under the white wrist, revealing a blood-red dot the size of a red bean.

"Do you know that there is snow in the red stove?"

Fang Jingzhe said in his heart, I knew that the stars light up the lamps.

Seeing that he was silent, Xia Zijin said to himself: "Dianxue on the Red Furnace, a kind of evil technique that has been lost for a long time in the Jianghu. When this internal force is planted in a person's body, a red spot will be formed on the left wrist. point, the red spot will slowly go up the arm until it reaches the throat, then blood will spurt and the head will fall to the ground.”

But as Xia Zijin's voice fell, a reminder popped up in front of Fang Jingzhe's eyes.

[Player Fang Jingzhe learned about the strange poison in the world: the red furnace touches the snow, the game will give a special reminder]

[Special reminder: Honglu Dianxue is a rare Gu worm. The Gu worm is extremely small. After sucking blood, its body will turn red, manifested as a red spot on the wrist. When the Gu worm moves to the carotid artery, it will secrete a Dissolving substances, melting the carotid artery and its nearby skin tissue, thus presenting the effect of a head falling to the ground and blood gushing]

In Fang Jingzhe's mind, feelings are two different interpretations at the level of metaphysics and science.

If it weren't for the character design not allowing it, he really wanted to applaud and give this popular science content a thumbs up!
However, his heart began to beat immediately.

Because, he had discovered before that there was also a red spot on his left wrist.

At first, he thought it was because of this identity, and he thought about giving himself a coquettish nickname like "Central Plains Is Red".

Now it seems that before he was assigned this identity, this person was already poisoned by the Red Furnace Dianxue poison.

"Central Plains is a little red" becomes "I will kill you three thousand" in seconds!
It turns out that the game said "survive to the end" actually meant this.

It's just that in Xia Zijin's words, there was clearly some resentment towards the Lord, so Fang Jingzhe also lit up the red dot on his left wrist, pretending to be resentful and said: "Everyone is the same, the Lord doesn't trust anyone, it's useless for me to be loyal to him, If it wasn't for the poison..."

"Speak carefully!" Although Xia Zijin was stern, she immediately said softly: "The Lord sent you and me to carry out such an important task, so naturally we need some protection, and you don't have to worry too much about it."

There is a door!
Fang Jingzhe was overjoyed.

If this Xia Zijin is extremely loyal to the Lord, just report his words directly, there is no need to say "cautious words" at all.

Thinking of this, he added another shot, "But it's almost time for me to be poisoned, and it's only in the next few days! What the Lord means is that if I can't complete the task, I don't have to go back."

"A few days ago, Xiao Tao brought me the antidote, and I'll scrape off some powder for you later, it should relieve you for a day or two."

It's confirmed, this Xia Zijin must be dissatisfied with the Lord, otherwise how could he sympathize with those who complain about the Lord.

But this Xiaotao was beyond Fang Jingzhe's expectation.

He always thought that Xiao Tao was Xia Zijin's subordinate, but she was responsible for such an important matter as the antidote. It seemed that he had to find a chance to look at Xiao Tao's left wrist.

Xia Zijin seemed to have guessed what Fang Jingzhe was thinking, and said calmly: "Xiao Tao has another kind of poison, otherwise the Lord would not let her get the antidote for Honglu Dianxue."

"Did Xiaotao say this herself, or did the master tell you?"

"Xiaotao said it herself, but she said she didn't know what kind of poison she had. After that, I asked the Lord, and the Lord told me the poison of the seven-star crabapple in her."

This time the game prompt did not move.

Fang Jingzhe:? ? ?

System stuck?Or is the Seven Star Begonia not a poison?So there is no prompt?

Fang Jingzhe hurriedly asked: "Do you still remember what the Lord said at that time?"

"What do you ask for this?"

"Oh, can you take the initiative? Don't ask me a question, just ask a question! Just say you don't remember!"

Seeing his anxious look, Xia Zijin said: "My lord's original words are: Xiaotao's disguise technique has been completed, send her to your place to help you, and Xiaotao will take the red medicine afterwards. She has a seven-star crabapple on her body." If this person is unusable, he can cut off his Soul Gathering Pill, and within three hours he will die in a trance."

[Player Fang Jingzhe learns about the rare medicine of Jianghu: Gathering Soul Pill, the game will give a special reminder]

[Special reminder: Gathering Soul Pill is made from various precious medicinal materials.Its color is emerald green, this medicine can not only heal internal injuries, but also slightly increase the cultivation of internal strength after taking it, hence the name "Soul Gathering Pill"]

This is definitely not right! ! !

When the Seven Star Begonia was mentioned just now, I didn't get any hint.

Regardless of whether it is the "Red Furnace Dianxue" or the "Soul Gathering Pill" in the two of them, there are very clear information prompts.

In addition, among the functions of Gathering Soul Pill, in addition to healing injuries, it also increases internal strength, but there is no mention of detoxification.

If Xiaotao was really poisoned by the so-called "Seven Star Begonia", why did she need to use healing and internal strength-enhancing pills to contain it?

Is there something wrong with the system?
Looking at Fang Jingzhe's expression, Xia Zijin thought he had guessed his doubts, and added:
"The lord said that the seven-star crabapple is a new poison he made. The poison itself is not effective, but it will slowly corrode the heart of the poisoned person. It needs to use the soul-gathering pill to make up for the loss. And this soul-gathering pill is not easy to refine, even if I You can only guarantee one piece per furnace."

Fang Jingzhe knew that he had grasped the key to the matter, and was only one step away from the truth.

He squinted his eyes, approached Xia Zijin and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you bring Xiaotao with you on board this time?"

"Yesterday, the Lord sent a letter in the evening, saying that he had other arrangements for Xiaotao..."

"If I'm not mistaken, this letter was brought to you by Xiaotao, right?"

"That's right. In the past, Xiaotao was the one who conveyed the Lord's orders. What's so strange about that?"

Fang Jingzhe patted his thigh and laughed silently on his back.

He really hoped that there was a Kogoro by his side now, so that he would stun him with an electric cannon, and then squat under the table to announce the truth of the matter.

Xia Zijin was taken aback by his madness, thinking that he had lost his mind because of the frustration of his plan, so he hurriedly asked:

"You... what's wrong with you?"

Fang Jingzhe put away his smile, looked at Xia Zijin, and said word by word:

"There is no poison of seven-star crabapple in the world, and..."

"There is no such person as Xiaotao in this world!"
