I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 317 Set fire
In the battle where the entire army was wiped out a few months ago, in order not to arouse Chen Xiucheng's concentrated attack, Qu Liancheng and Qu Dingbang, under the protection of their respective cronies, broke out from different directions on the two wings of the army. Of course, Chen Xiucheng would not let go. After this opportunity, he immediately ordered many people to come to intercept him. Fortunately, Qu Dingbang's martial arts are not bad, and he has many confidants who swore to protect him to the death. Therefore, although he suffered some injuries, his life was saved in the end.

In the following days, in order to avoid the search of the Red Lotus Sect, Qu Dingbang traveled around like a lost dog. As a young master who grew up among the rich and wealthy, how could he be so downcast? The jade pendant worn by Xiao can go to the pawnshop to pawn some silver, but the pawnshop owner is too treacherous, the jade that was originally worth a hundred gold is only worth a hundred taels of silver, when Qu Dingbang needs to buy things by himself, he doesn't know the market price at all, Being lied to by others, most of the money on his body has been lost, and he wanted to buy a horse with the remaining money to rush back to the capital, but on the way, he heard that Qu Liancheng had committed a crime of disrespect, and suppressed him. The news that the General's Mansion was ransacked, and even their biggest backer Xu Guifei was bestowed to death by the emperor.

And his mother died early before that.

To Qu Dingbang, this news was like a bolt from the blue, but when he came back to his senses, he had to be grateful for everything he had encountered along the way. If it hadn't been for these tribulations that hindered his footsteps, he might have become like his father. If he returned to the capital like that, he would also become a death row prisoner in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Fortunately for Qu Dingbang, the emperor probably thought that he had died in the battle, so he did not issue the supplementary documents nationwide, which also made Qu Dingbang heave a sigh of relief.

However, although his life was saved, the amount of money in his hands was getting less and less, and he could never go back to that rich family. In the future, the only thing he can rely on in his life is himself.

Yes, he must live no matter what, and then seek revenge on his enemies.

As for this enemy?
Of course it was Qu Lingxu.

He can be sure that all of this is the work of that vicious woman, otherwise why the entire general's mansion was not imprisoned, and she was the only one who was not only fine, but also received a reward?

Qu Dingbang's heart for revenge is firm, but the road is tortuous. First of all, the capital cannot go back for the time being. There are too many people who know him there. If one of them is accidentally exposed, this road is hard to keep My life is about to go in again.

Therefore, he decided to stop there and hibernate temporarily.

Since there is no need to go north for the time being, Qu Dingbang intends to sell the horses, but unfortunately, "the leak in the house happens to rain all night", when Qu Dingbang stayed at the inn, someone took advantage of his sleeping time and stole the horses. Now, Qu Dingbang only had a dozen taels of silver left on him, and he lived on the street within a few days.

To say that Qu Dingbang still has a bit of backbone, even if he couldn't eat enough, he would not steal or rob him. In the end, he was dying of hunger and passed out in front of the post station. He had nowhere to go, so he was left in the kitchen doing errands.

Although Qu Dingbang has fallen so far, the flame of revenge in his heart has not only not been extinguished, but has been burning more and more. It is a pity that Qu Lingxu is now a queen. It is difficult for him not to mention assassination, even if he wants to see the other party. Qu Dingbang planned day and night, and finally made up his mind to disguise himself and join Murongli. Unexpectedly, Murongli also became a prisoner.

The tens of thousands of roads imagined before are blocked one by one in the face of cruel reality. If Qu Dingbang can let go of his hatred, he can live incognito among the people, and he can grow old safely. However, he has been taught by Xu's words and deeds since childhood , who has always regarded himself as a noble son and future successor of the General Zhen Guo's mansion, hated the Chen family and Qu Lingxu who blocked his path to prosperity and wealth, and he believed that all of this was done by Qu Lingxu, How would give up revenge.

Just in response to the saying 'as long as the mind doesn't slip, there are always more ways than difficulties', it is indeed difficult to enter the palace, but it is not completely hopeless, as long as you are ruthless enough to yourself.

Yes, that is to become a eunuch.

Eunuchs are deformed products of the feudal court, but they have been able to exist for so many years, and there is a reason for their existence. Although since ancient times, there have never been no lack of eunuchs who are prominent and powerful, but if they are not really unable to survive, how many parents are willing to do it for those few people? Ten taels of silver, let his son suffer the knife that cuts off his sons and grandchildren?

Qu Dingbang was already 16 years old, already past the optimal age for entering the palace. The risk of such crude surgery was a hundred times higher than that of a young child. If a wound was accidentally infected, it would be fatal.

He is not an ignorant child, so he naturally knows that once he takes that step, his life will be completely over, but in order to get revenge, he can't care about anything, even if he goes up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, he is not afraid!
However, just when Qu Dingbang decided to embark on the road of no return, Qu Lingxu, who was supposed to sit high in Zhaoyang Palace, fell in front of Qu Dingbang like an "unexpected joy". He came out of the kitchen with the dishes, and when he saw the familiar figure of the other party, he could hardly believe his eyes.

He hated, hated so much that every pore in his body was trembling. If Qu Dingbang's temper before, he would have rushed to kill Qu Lingxu without hesitation, but after several months of training, his temper was stronger than that of Qu Lingxu. He had endured a lot before, and the overwhelming anger was not enough to swallow his reason. He knew very well that Qu Lingxu was protected by several experts. He was killed by the dark guard.

Therefore, he has to plan carefully, wait, wait for the best time, and hit it with one blow.

Perhaps God really wanted to give Qu Dingbang a chance to take revenge. That night, he learned from the chef that Qu Lingxu and his party were going to stay at the inn for a while, which made Qu Dingbang feel completely at ease. , to slowly plan how to take revenge.

If you want to kill someone invisible, the first choice is naturally poisoning, but Qu Lingxu is different from ordinary people. As a doctor, her experience and vigilance are beyond ordinary people's comparison, and she is likely to be exposed directly. Once exposed, he will never There will be a second chance to strike again.

Moreover, Qu Dingbang also thought of a very important problem, that is, Qu Lingxu does not understand martial arts, so it is not difficult to kill her by force, but the difficulty lies in the protection of several masters around her, so before doing it, you must Get rid of those guards.

It is dry in winter, and the location of the post station is relatively remote. As long as he added Mongolian sweat medicine, Mongolian sweat medicine and five poisons to his dinner, even if he tried it with a silver needle, he would not be able to find anything unusual. Go to sleep, and then use the oil in the kitchen to ignite the guest room upstairs. The fire will definitely spread in a short time, and no one puts out the fire in time. At that time, Qu Lingxu will definitely die without a place to bury him!
Now that he had made up his mind, Qu Dingbang began to imagine how to implement it. During the "incubation period" before the plan, he just stayed quietly in the back of the kitchen, not daring to take a step easily, for fear of being recognized by Qu Lingxu or Yun Yi. During this period, although Yun Yi entered the kitchen more than once, and even lingered for a long time to cook porridge, one thing was that she put all her thoughts on Qing Yang and didn't deliberately take care of others, and the other thing was that Qu Dingbang's face Those two big wounds have already ruined his original appearance in sevens and eighty eights, and Yun Yi always thought that Qu Dingbang had already died in battle, so naturally he didn't think about it.

Everything went well, and there was only one word left: wait.

It is said that "the wind is high and the sky is on fire", what Qu Dingbang has to wait for is a night with strong winds.

The hard work paid off, and the strong wind soon made him wait.

On windy days, the air is drier. Because Qingyang needs to rest, he has to rest after having an early dinner every day. For convenience, Qu Lingxu, Ling Xiao and others also eat with him at the same hour. Dingbang saw the right time, and by helping the chef, he poured the pre-prepared Mongolian sweat medicine into the pot and stirred it evenly. He was worried that the medicine in one dish was not enough, so he deliberately added medicine to every dish, except for Qu. Lingxu didn't do anything about his separate share.

Mongolian sweat medicine is colorless and odorless, Ling Xiao Lingyun is hard to detect even if he is strong in martial arts, and the others are even more so. As a result, not long after dinner, everyone felt sleepy at the same time, and went back to their rooms to sleep one after another.

The bustling inn during the day suddenly quieted down. Seeing that the time was ripe, Qu Dingbang took out two large barrels of cooking oil from the kitchen, and lightly poured all the stairs, doors and windows upstairs, because at this time on weekdays, there would be more or less traffic outside the door. Qu Lingxu didn't pay much attention to the noise of some residents coming and going, until she felt the little flames rising up, and then realized that something was wrong.

Originally, Yun Yi was supposed to stay by Qu Lingxu's side, but for the convenience of taking care of Qing Yang, Qu Lingxu let him stay in Qing Yang's room, and now he could only put on his clothes and get up, wanting to go out to see what happened, but When I got to the door, I found a figure flickering outside. At that moment, the door was locked from the outside.

"Qu Lingxu, don't think about it, today is your death day!" The person outside the door gritted his teeth.

"Qu Dingbang?" Although neither the original owner nor herself had much contact with Qu Dingbang, Qu Lingxu could still recognize the other party's voice immediately.

"Yes, it's me, Qu Lingxu, you didn't expect that I'm still alive!" Qu Dingbang laughed heartily a few times, "The heavens really have eyes, God wants me to endure humiliation and live until today, just to get Your life!"

"I don't know how to live or die!" Although Qu Lingxu's limited internal strength is not enough to open the heavy door, it doesn't mean that she has no choice but to take out Qu Dingbang. She took out a pistol, pointed at the figure outside the door, and knocked lightly. trigger.
