When Qi Ning got off the carriage, the ropes tying his hands behind his back had been untied. His internal energy in Dantian was sealed by Ximen Wuhen, making him unable to mobilize his internal energy. Now that he was far away from Xianyang City, Ximen Wuhen would naturally relax his guard against him. Some.
But Qi Ning also knew in his heart that even if his Dantian was not sealed, he might not be a match against Ximen Wuhen and Hong Mendao.
Ximen Wuhen has been wandering around in the world for many years. He is a fox among foxes. The methods that Qi Ning understands are all unknown to Ximen Wuhen. Therefore, Qi Ning has never thought about using small tricks to escape in front of Ximen Wuhen. If you want to escape from Ximen Wuhen's hands, you really have to wait for a fleeting opportunity. Maybe that opportunity will never come, but before the opportunity comes, it's better for you to be honest.
He was naturally a little angry in his heart, knowing that Ximen Wuhen's claim of taking him to the Snowy Mountains to apologize was most likely nonsense, but what Ximen Wuhen's true intention was, he really couldn't figure out for a while.
After all, he married his daughter, but this old guy didn't even think about him being his son-in-law. Not only did he force him to go to the Snowy Mountains, but he also tied his arms behind his back and even blindfolded him, treating him like a prisoner. This was really frustrating. Qi Ning felt angry.
After getting off the carriage, Qining moved his hands and feet, only feeling a little weak. At this time, he realized that he had been unconscious for three days. He had not had water or rice in these three days, and his physical strength was naturally lacking. He licked his lips. He had not drank water for several days. Due to the lack of water and the cold weather, my lips were already a little chapped. At this time, I really wanted to have a big bowl of hot rice in front of me.
The sun has set, and the sky and the earth are vast. The northwest is vast, but the population is not large. Looking at it, the sky and the earth are vast. Perhaps because of the cold weather, the soil on the ground is also a little hard.
This is obviously not an official road. In fact, there are not many official roads built in the northwest. This road is not actually a road. There is a wine shop next to it. The flag fluttering in the wind has the word "wine" written on it. The place here is It is in a remote place, with no village or shop. It is not easy to find a wine shop. I think if travelers passing by this place see this wine shop, they will definitely go inside to have a glass of wine to warm themselves up.
Hong Mendao parked the carriage and entered the wine shop first. After a while, he came out and said, "Shenhou, you can go in!"
The three of them entered the wine shop, which was already lit with lights. A waiter waited on the waiter. Behind the simple counter was a fat shopkeeper. After the waiter arranged for the three of them to sit down, Hong Mendao ordered the wine and food. The waiter arrived. In the back hall, the wine and food were quickly brought out and placed on the table.
The dishes were the most common braised beef in the northwest and a bowl of stewed lamb bones. Qining was hungry, but he was not rude. He looked at Ximen Wuhen, but Ximen Wuhen did not move his chopsticks. Qining smiled and said: "God, sir, Get a taste of what the Northwest has to offer.”
Ximen Wuhen then said: "You haven't eaten for a few days, you can use it first!"
Qining said: "You're welcome." He poured himself wine, picked up the beef and started eating it. He had already felt the cold in the northwest. The beef and the strong wine were both things to keep out the cold.
Ximen Wuhen said: "You go out and don't know whether the food is poisonous, so you dare to eat it?"
"Going to the Snowy Mountains with you is a narrow escape. In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of." Qining said with a smile: "It is better to die in the hands of Dharma King Zhuri than to starve to death halfway."
Ximen Wuhen said "Oh" without comment.
"Fifth Senior Brother, I thought you were an honest person, but now it seems that you have practiced your acting skills in Beihan over the years, and even I didn't see any flaws." Qining drank the glass of wine, poured another one himself, and said with a smile. : "The person you asked me to meet that night didn't exist at all. You just arranged it according to the order of the god. You know that I must be very interested in Beitang Qing's life and death, so you attracted me In the past, if it had been anyone else, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to deceive me, but I thought to myself, you are from the Shenhou Mansion, a subordinate of my father-in-law, and my wife's senior brother. You can also be considered a member of the family. It won't hurt me, who knows...!" He shook his head and sighed.
His tone was full of ridicule, intending to mock Ximen Wuhen and Hong Mendao.
Ximen Wuhen sneered and said: "You don't have to be weird. If you have any resentment, come over to me. Lao Wu is just doing what he should do according to my order."
"In this case, the so-called generals of Beitang Qing are indeed false." Qining sighed: "I was still wondering before, Shenhou, you are not in good health, how could you go all the way to the northwest? Just now Only then did I realize that they wanted to take me to the Snowy Mountains. God, I am already a turtle in a urn, and I can't escape. Tell me the truth, why did you take me to the Snowy Mountains? I don't believe in any apology. "
Ximen Wuhen put his hands in his sleeves and said nothing, but looked at Qining with a strange look.
Qi Ning grabbed a piece of sheep bone and chewed it for a moment before saying, "It is said that the mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at her. I wonder how my father-in-law feels when he looks at his son-in-law? God, you have been looking at me for a long time without saying a word. I don’t eat either, I’m really embarrassed to eat and drink all by myself.”
Hong Mendao finally sighed: "Honored Lord, it seems that the Lord is indeed extraordinary."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Fifth senior brother is praising me for being able to speak?"
"Sir Sir Alex is naturally very eloquent in his speech." Hong Mendao sighed: "But Sir Alex ate poisonous food and didn't have any reaction, so I felt it was unusual."
Qi Ning was startled, looked down at the sheep bones in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Is this food really poisonous?"
"Not only is the food poisonous, but the wine is also poisonous." Hong Mendao smiled faintly, "Lao Jianghu will be able to detect it instantly after the food and wine are served."
As soon as he finished speaking, the store clerk who was standing not far away and had been staring at this side suddenly said angrily: "Sir, what do you mean by this? Do you think we are a black shop here?"
Hongmendao didn't look back and said calmly: "I don't know if it's a black shop, but the food and wine are poisonous. Do you want to deny it?"
The shopkeeper behind the counter also showed an angry look and sneered: "How do you know it's poisonous if you haven't even eaten it?"
"Just like I know you are bandits who kill people and steal wealth, I don't need to shake hands with you to know your business." Hong Mendao raised his hand and waved: "You two come here, there is still half a bottle of wine here, you You’ll know if it’s poisonous after you drink it.”
"You can eat if you want. If you don't want to eat, pay the bill and get out." The shopkeeper slapped the table and shouted angrily: "You are not allowed to run wild here."
Ximen Wuhen didn't seem to hear it at all. He just looked at Qining and asked, "Your body is immune to the poison. It seems that the bead was indeed obtained by you, and you have already taken the bead."
Only then did Qi Ning understand why Ximen Wuhen looked at him with that weird look just now.
Ximen Wuhen was of course surprised that he was eating poisonous food and had a good appetite. However, it was precisely because Qining knew that his body had become invulnerable to all poisons after Tang Nuo helped to dissolve the blood. Only then do you dare to eat it as soon as it comes up.
Qi Ning knew very well that if Ximen Wuhen had not confirmed that he had obtained the bead, he would not have been able to kidnap him to the Snowy Mountains. Since the old guy had done this, he had already concluded in his heart that the bead was on his body, and now he could only It's just that it's completely certain.
While Ximen Wuhen and Qi Ning were talking, Hong Mendao had already picked up the jug, stood up, walked towards the shop assistant, sent the jug to the shop assistant, and said expressionlessly: "I'll treat you to a drink, but don't When you've finished drinking, leave a few sips for your shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper had a fierce look in his eyes and glanced at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper nodded slightly. The shopkeeper stopped talking nonsense, shouted low, and punched Hongmen Road's door.
However, Hong Mendao dodged lightly, stretched out his left arm, and easily clamped the opponent's arm. With his right hand, he brought the spout of the wine bottle to the shop assistant's mouth. The shop assistant turned his head to dodge, but Hong Mendao exerted a strong force and had already caught the opponent's arm. The waiter pressed down on the table and forcefully poured the wine from the pot into the waiter's mouth. A look of horror appeared on the waiter's face.
At this moment, a loud roar was heard, and the curtain of the back hall door was opened. A strong man holding a big knife in his hand rushed towards Hongmendao like a tiger, and slashed down Hongmendao with the knife.
Hong Mendao poured the wine into the mouth of the shop assistant. When the big knife came, he stepped back, still holding the wine bottle in his right hand. He ducked to take the big knife, but raised his left hand upwards and slapped the strong man's wrist with the back of his hand. On the top, the knife in the strong man's hand suddenly fell off. Hong Mendao took the falling sword and waved his arm diagonally. The sword flashed and cut the strong man's neck.
The strong man covered his throat, and blood overflowed from between his fingers. His strong body shook twice and fell down. The waiter who had been drunk before had his body wet, and his face that was originally a little yellow was now... It quickly turned purple and black, and black blood kept flowing out of the mouth. After taking it out for a moment, it stopped moving.
Qi Ning saw this and frowned slightly, thinking that the efficacy of this poisonous wine was really amazing.
"As you can see, the poison in the poisonous wine will take effect very quickly." Ximen Wuhen said: "If you didn't have that bead protecting you, do you think you would still be safe and sound now?"
Qi Ning's face turned cold and he said angrily: "Shenhou, you knew that I drank the poisonous wine but you didn't stop me. Do you really want me to be poisoned to death?"
"The Youhan Pearl is the most precious medicine in the world. I have heard about it a long time ago." Ximen Wuhen said calmly: "That bead cannot last for long. If you got the bead, you should have taken it long ago. As long as Once you take the beads, ordinary poisons cannot harm you. It is said that the medicinal effect of the beads can remain in the body for three years, which means that no one can harm you with any poison within three years."
Qining thought that I am not just taking it, but it is directly transforming it into the blood. Taking the Youhan Bead will retain its efficacy for three years. After I am transformed into the blood, my body will be invulnerable to all poisons for life.
