Chapter 69

"Immediately send an order to speed up the refining of weapons."

Xia Jian clutched his heart, feeling a little weak, but his eyes were extremely gloomy.

"But my lord, those untouchables have been working day and night for several months. As a result, more than half of them have been killed or injured. If this continues, I'm afraid no one will work..."

Butler Zhang said cautiously.

After hearing this, Xia Jian's complexion became even worse.

"Shut up, those untouchables are dead when they die. It's nothing compared to my lord's great cause. It's their honor to die for my lord!" Xia Jian sarcastically said.

"If there are not enough people, we will capture other untouchables from nearby cities. No one can stop my Lord's plan." He continued to order.

Butler Zhang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded quickly: "This old slave understands."

"As for you...my lord will send you to take care of Ning San's daily life, but within three days, my lord must watch him lose his life and get back the herbs that my lord needs. Otherwise, your Master Mingben can't keep it."

Turning his head, Xia Jian warned Song Ran darkly.

"This subordinate understands." Song Ran lowered her head pretending to be terrified, but her eyes were cold.

……

"Master Ning, my subordinates have brought you soup." In the middle of the night, Song Ran knocked on Si Xie's door with a bowl of soup.

"Who are you?" Si Xie opened the door, wearing a human skin mask, staring at Song Ran quietly.

"Lord Ning, this subordinate is the one who was brought into Xia's mansion with you that day, but now this subordinate is serving by Master Xia's side. Master Xia said that you must be exhausted after traveling to Mingzhou City. I know a little bit about medicine, so I made a tonic soup for you."

Song Ran said in a low voice.

With her back to the gate of the yard, she turned slightly to Si Xie and blinked her eyes.

Si Xie understood instantly.

His dark eyes looked behind her shoulders, and he saw a shaking figure in the dark.

Xia Jian... can be regarded as taking action.

"My lord, this subordinate will test the poison first." At this time, Qian Ziyun pretended to be a bodyguard and appeared behind Si Xie, holding a silver needle, pretending to start testing the poison.

Song Ran, on the other hand, calmly allowed them to test the poison and let the people behind them watch.

Because she had already told Xia Jian that the poison she made could not be detected by ordinary silver needles.

of course……

This bowl of food cannot possibly be poisonous.

Sure enough, Qian Ziyun picked up the silver needle, and said to Si Xie, "My lord, it is non-toxic."

"Well," Si Xie responded coldly, and then asked Qian Ziyun to bring in the soup, "You say hello to uncle on my behalf, and say that I thank him for the soup."

"I obey." Song Ran lowered her head meekly, then turned and left.

What happened here, the watcher will definitely tell Xia Jian without reservation.

Sure enough, shortly after Song Ran left Si Xie's residence, Steward Zhang appeared in front of her.

"Are you sure, that poison can really poison Ning San to death?" He looked at Song Ran'en with probing eyes.

"Reporting to Steward Xia, it is indeed possible. Didn't the subordinates feed the poison to the mice? They are already dead, and you have seen it, Steward Zhang." Song Ran said patiently.

Hearing Song Ran's words, Butler Zhang thought for a while, thinking that what he saw was indeed like this.

Moreover, the adults have already said that this kid is poisoned, and he dare not betray them.

"Okay, my lord ordered me to take you to your residence. You should be more careful these days, and don't let your lord live up to your high expectations." Butler Zhang said to Song Ran in a threatening tone.

"The subordinate understands." Song Ran lowered her head, her whole person was meek and well-behaved.

Then, Steward Zhang took him to the most remote place in Xia Mansion.

Song Ran looked at the remote and dilapidated small house in front of her, knowing that Xia Jian was trying to suppress her spirit.

She didn't make a sound, just smiled silently.

Then he said in a low voice, "Please, Steward Zhang, bring your subordinates here."

The more remote the place, the more convenient it is for her to move around.

Butler Zhang responded coldly, then turned and left.

Song Ran quickly pushed the door open and went in.

The inside can't be said to be simple, it should be said to be shabby.

There was nothing else but a bed, a table, and an oil lamp.

But she has been in the world for so many days and has experienced many difficult environments, so she naturally doesn't care about this.

She stood in the middle of the room, silent for a moment, then closed the door, and went to the open window.

Through the moonlight, she saw a shaking figure not far away.

She was silent, just lowered her eyes.

It seems that Xia Jian's suspicion is really not small, she has been like this, and even sent someone to watch her.

However, thinking of Xia Jian being able to turn Mingzhou City into the purgatory it is today, it would be a ghost if he was not suspicious or cautious.

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Song Ran quickly closed the window.

The moment the window was closed, she could clearly feel that the person hiding in the dark became vigilant.

Looking back slowly, the room was already pitch black.

Looking at it from the outside, this dilapidated house is lifeless.

But soon, the oil lamp inside was turned on, and a thin figure was cast on the screen window.

Seeing this scene, the person hiding in the dark breathed a sigh of relief.

But if he pushes open the door here, he will definitely find...

What caused the silhouette to appear was not a person at all.

But...

A piece of clothing, and a balled up pillow.

Song Ran had already opened another window at the moment when the oil lamp was on, and left quickly.

She catted her body, like a wolf in the night, and quickly headed towards Si Xie's yard.

Finally, he arrived near Si Xie's courtyard.

She also had to avoid the eyeliner and climb in through the window.

When I got inside, I found that everyone was sitting there, as if waiting for her alone.

"I still know how to come back." Si Xieleng, who was sitting on the main seat, said quietly, his tone was as if Song Ran was a traitor who was about to betray.

Hearing this, Song Ran's teeth were about to be gritted.

She lowered her voice and said with a fake smile: "Your Majesty, it will take time for me to go back and deal with Xia Jian's dog legs, and avoid those eyeliners."

"Oh? So that's the case. I thought you hated my exploitation of you and turned to Xia Jian." Si Xie said with a sneer.

Song Ran: "..."

The rest: "..."

Jiang Fang touched his nose in embarrassment, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Your Majesty, if you are so annoying again, brother Song Ran will really run away.

Taking a deep breath, Song Ran suppressed his urge to tear people apart, and then said with a smirk: "The emperor is worrying too much, his subordinates are loyal to you, how could they betray you?"

After saying these words, Song Ran felt like he was about to vomit.
