After a big fuss last night, today's medicine and stone competition seemed calm, but in fact it became more and more undercurrent. Secretly, everyone's eyes were watching the war between the Bai family and the Hao family, who would win in the end.
The first level of identification of medicine stones mainly relies on smell identification. It is the simplest level. The Hao family sent Hao Tian, but the candidate sent by the Bai family greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Bai Zhibin.
Song Ye looked at Bai Zhibin who put on a white robe and stood in front of the competition stage. He looked like a dog at the moment, but everyone knew that Bai Zhibin was an illegitimate son from a collateral line. He had not yet entered the family tree, and his status in the Bai family was extremely low. , being able to play surprised everyone.
"Hey, Miss Hao, you're not even on an equal footing with me." Bai Zhibin deliberately stood next to Hao Tian, lowered his voice and said with an arrogant look.
"Huh, if you don't deserve to be on the stage, you won't look like a prince if you wear a dragon robe." Hao Tian also raised his chin proudly and sneered back. In the Yaoshi lineage, they attach great importance to bloodline inheritance, and Hao Tian is no exception.
"You stinky woman." Bai Zhibin was poked in a painful spot, and he could only gnash his teeth and curse in a low voice. When he was blindfolded and started the game, he was still secretly swearing in his heart that sooner or later, this stinky woman would look good.
After covering his eyes with a black cloth, Song Ye saw plates being served one after another in front of the long table, with lids on them, which looked like serving dishes.
When the lid was opened, everyone saw that there were more than a dozen pieces of jade the size of pebbles on the plate in front of everyone, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted into the air.
"These jadeites have been dipped in potion in advance, and the contestants need to choose the actual potion stones to soak in. It is considered an intermediate difficulty test." Hao Zhengyi watched while explaining his duties to Song Ye and Qin Zhan.
Of course, to laymen, these intermediate tests are almost like a wordless bible.
The contestants on the field began to identify one after another, and Hao Tian was also selecting in an orderly manner. What Song Ye didn't expect was that the second generation ancestor Bai Zhibin was also there to select, and his methods seemed to be quite sophisticated.
She thought for a while and asked Hao Zhengyi about his life experience, but all she heard were negative comments, "Bai Zhibin is the illegitimate son of the unpopular daughter of a branch of the Bai family. He got pregnant out of wedlock and didn't even know the father of the child. He was born stupid and has not been recognized so far. However, Bai Zhibin has been naughty since he was a child. He has been domineering in Shishi City on the basis of the name of the Bai family. He is uneducated and has no skills. Well... But now it seems that he did not leave the medicine stone secretly. Miao Zi is pretty good at it." This last sentence made Hao Zhengyi a little surprised. It was also the first time that he saw Bai Zhibin take action.
After hearing this, Song Ye pondered for a while and felt something strange.
Soon, the game on the court ended. Hao Tian won without any suspense and selected all the medicinal stones. Bai Zhibin also emerged and became the biggest dark horse in this game.
The second level was to open the prescription, and Hao Zhengyi came on the scene and won easily. Although they won, everyone couldn't help but say that the Hao family's talents were withering, and even the head of the family had to play in person, what a sad word.
Because it was almost noon, the remaining two levels were moved to the afternoon. Everyone was dining in the large cafeteria not far behind them, eating some vegetarian fruits and vegetables, chatting, and waiting for the afternoon game to arrive.
Halfway through the meal, the doorman of the Hao family from outside hurried in on foot and said to Song Ye: "The two apprentices who were kicked out last night wanted to see Mr. Song and have been waiting outside the door all night."
Several people paused with their chopsticks and subconsciously looked at Song Ye, somewhat confused as to why the apprentices of the Hao family were looking for her. Even if they wanted to ask for mercy, they should go to Hao Zhengyi.
The latter calmly picked up a piece of green vegetables and said, "Gone." She was most annoyed by being disturbed while eating.
"But..." the disciple explained with some embarrassment: "They said that their lives are in Mr. Song's hands, and they also said that they have something to tell Mr. Song. Please be sure to meet them."
Equivalent exchange? Song Ye sneered in his heart. It seemed that people would occasionally wake up when they were forced into a desperate situation.
After chewing the last bite of vegetarian food, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, then stood up and walked outside. Qin Zhan did not follow her, and Hao Tian stared at her back, too embarrassed to follow her.
The cobblestone floor at the entrance of the medicine village was heated up by the sun. When Song Ye went out, he saw two apprentices kneeling on the ground with haggard faces.
Seeing Song Ye appear, the two of them hurriedly crawled over on their knees and begged: "Mr. Song, please give us the antidote quickly. The twenty-four hours are about to pass. We really don't want to die."
Song Ye lowered his eyebrows, as if looking at a dead thing, and said coldly: "Then it depends on what news you give in exchange for your life."
"I, I have information, let me tell you." One of the apprentices said hurriedly: "Last night we were hiding on the roadside sleeping, and saw the Bai family's car driving to the door in the middle of the night, and Bai Zhibin came. He told the people around him I will recognize my ancestors and return to my clan, and become the true crown prince."
Prince, this title made Song Ye raise his eyebrows, "What else?"
"And..." The two people were dizzy from the sun. In order to find a life-saving antidote, they racked their brains and finally thought of some useful information, so they hurriedly fell out. "Bai Zhibin also said that the old man was buried underground. Take out all the things in the past two days and inherit them all to him in the future. As for what they are, we really don’t know."
Seeing the sincerity of the two of them, they just barely waggled their tails twice to prove their loyalty. Song Ye nodded and said, "Yes." After nodding, she turned around and decided to go back and drink a cup of tea to relieve her hunger.
Behind him, the two apprentices were stunned when they saw this, and then they rushed forward, crying miserably with runny noses and tears, "Mr. Song, you have a lot, please spare us. Please give us the antidote." Give it to us." They waited here all night just to survive.
"Antide?" Song Ye, who was walking in front, turned back slightly and said in a cold and clear voice: "There is no antidote."
"Ah?" The two apprentices were immediately confused and opened their mouths. They didn't understand what it meant for a long time. "Then, the poison you gave us said that if there is no antidote for 24 hours, we will die. of… "
"Oh, I lied to you." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Song Ye's cold voice. He finally said, "It's just peppercorns." After that, he walked away quietly. .
The two apprentices were left kneeling in the scorching sun, dumbfounded and unable to recover for a long time.
This is not the world of martial arts novels. Anyone who goes out can bring poison with timed effects to harm others. But Song Ye saw that the two of them were stupid, so he took out the peppercorns used as ingredients in the space and played with them.
