Chapter 70: The Antidote
The wooden door is slowly opening!
Lu Yunzhou secretly said in his heart: "Oops! Someone's coming! Hurriedly blew out the bronze oil lamp in his hand, and quickly flashed to the back of the row of shelves with poison and hid--
"Squeak"
The wooden door opened, revealing a ray of light behind the door, and a dark figure appeared in that bright light, although it was impossible to distinguish the appearance of the black shadow, but the graceful silhouette of the black shadow revealed that she was a woman!
Then Lu Yunzhou saw that several torches on the side of the wooden door in the stone room were lit one after another, and Lu Yunzhou hurriedly moved to the shadow behind the shelf.
"Click"
Clear footsteps sounded, and the person walked towards the stone room, Lu Yunzhou sneaked a look through the gap in the shelf, and sure enough, it was Mrs. Lan!
"I'm a fool, how could I not think that since Ouyang Xinyue might be Mrs. Lan's disciple, how could Mrs. Lan not be able to enter this stone room!" Lu Yunzhou was a little annoyed in his heart, he was too imprudent just now, and he didn't listen to the movement every once in a while, so he would be so passive at this time!
Mrs. Lan walked to the wide stone table and put a long object on the stone table, Lu Yunzhou looked at it, it turned out to be the blue poison arrow!
"Could it be that Mrs. Lan came to the stone room at night to prepare the antidote to that poisonous arrow?" Lu Yunzhou thought of Zhongsun Xuanhua's request to Mrs. Tolan, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Come out, I know you're here!"
Madame Lan's cold voice suddenly echoed in the wide stone room, bringing with it a burst of echoes!
Lu Yunzhou was shocked: "Oops, it's been discovered!" No...... Did she really find out about me, or was she cheating on me? ”
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Lu Yunzhou felt a breeze blowing across his face, and then he heard a slight sound of "tuk tuk tuk" three times behind him!
Although it was a slight sound, it sounded extremely clear in this wide stone chamber!
Lu Yunzhou turned his head stiffly, looked back, and saw that in the middle of the shelf behind him, there were three silver needles with a cold light!
Look at the position where the silver needle is inserted, when it flew by just now, I was afraid that it would rub his neck!
Lu Yunzhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, knowing that he had just turned around in front of the ghost gate, and the cold sweat behind his back came out again!
"If you don't come out, you'll never have to come out!"
Lu Yunzhou had no choice but to stand up, walked out from behind the shelf, and stood in front of Mrs. Lan, but his left hand was tightly pressed against the Flying Star Sword at his waist.
"Mrs. Lan doesn't know the abnormality of the Flying Star Sword, if she wants to kill me, I still have a chance to ......" Lu Yunzhou quickly thought about countermeasures in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Senior Lan, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing me late at night!" ”
Half of Mrs. Lan's body was in the shadows, as if she was a messenger from hell, and her beautiful face was frosty at this time: "It turned out to be Gongzi Qi, how could you appear here?" What about Xinyue? What did you do with her? ”
Lu Yunzhou said embarrassedly: "Senior, please rest assured, Miss Xinyue slept in another room tonight, she didn't know that I was here...... As to why I'm here, if I say, it was an accident, seniors believe? ”
"Don't believe it!"
Mrs. Lan's cold voice sounded.
Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but smile bitterly, just because this was indeed an accident, Lu Yunzhou was hiding in the closet to squat at the assassin, but he didn't expect to find Ouyang Xinyue and Mrs. Lan's secret room!
Lu Yunzhou bowed and said stiffly: "That kid won't bother, just leave!" ”
After that, he was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Mrs. Lan say coldly: "Did I say that you would leave?" ”
Lu Yunzhou was stunned, turned around with a wry smile, and thought, "It's really impossible to let me go easily......"
Lu Yunzhou took a deep breath and said respectfully: "What else does Senior Lan have to say, the kid listens!" ”
Mrs. Lan's faint voice sounded: "Young Master Qi, you don't have to pretend to be so well-behaved, I know you are very smart, tell me, how could you doubt Xinyue?" ”
Lu Yunzhou set his eyes on the blue poison arrow on the stone table, thinking that the opportunity was rare, so he boldly asked: "Tell you the truth, kid, in fact, before I found this stone room, I really didn't suspect Miss Xinyue, but ...... I have to wonder now...... Senior, the kid dared to ask, the poison on this poisonous arrow came out of this stone room? ”
"Humph!" Mrs. Lan sneered, "What a keen and attentive stinky boy! It turned out that I saw the flaw in me! It is said that Jixia School Palace is full of talents, and I have seen a lot today! ”
Lu Yunzhou smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond.
Mrs. Lan stretched out her slender jade fingers, picked up the poisonous arrow on the stone table, and played with her fingertips: "Since you have discovered it, it doesn't hurt to tell you, the poison on this poisonous arrow is my original and unique poison, in this world, only me and Xinyue can concoct it!" ”
Lu Yunzhou's expression was dazed, and sure enough!
Mrs. Lan put the poisoned arrow back on the stone table, lowered her voice and threatened: "Boy, I warn you, you are not allowed to continue investigating my apprentice!" ”
Lu Yunzhou was stunned and looked at Mrs. Lan.
Mrs. Lan said faintly: "When you gave me the poisoned arrow, I knew that there was something wrong with Xinyue. I know you're investigating those assassins, and it's none of me to do with me, and I won't stop you, but Xinyue is my disciple, and I won't allow you to continue investigating her! ”
Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but smile bitterly, this Mrs. Lan is really short-sighted!
Mrs. Lan said coldly: "But don't worry, I will personally ask Xinyue's questions, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" ”
Lu Yunzhou took a deep breath, bowed and said, "Then please Senior Tolan!" ”
But my heart is relieved, since Mrs. Lan has said so, she should let him go today!
Mrs. Lan walked towards Lu Yunzhou step by step, Lu Yunzhou was stunned, and quickly turned around to get out of the way, only to see Mrs. Lan walk to the rows of shelves, take out a small bottle, and throw it to Lu Yunzhou casually.
Lu Yunzhou hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, only to hear Mrs. Lan say lightly: "This is the antidote I promised Zhongsun Xuanhua's kid, I don't know if those assassins still have this poison in their hands, this antidote is enough for you...... You can rest assured that my poison here will not appear in the hands of assassins again! ”
Lu Yunzhou pinched the small medicine bottle in his hand, and couldn't help but be grateful: "In this way, the kid is grateful to Senior Lan!" ”
Mrs. Lan's face was dark in the shadows, and a cold voice sounded: "I won't tell Xinyue that you've been here, but--"
Mrs. Lan suddenly moved to Lu Yunzhou's side, and a white jade-like slender hand stroked Lu Yunzhou's face, her lips opened slightly, and she said angrily: "However, if I see Gongzi Qi appear in my stone room again......" Mrs. Lan's fingertips suddenly flashed three poisonous needles with a pale cyan light, brushing Lu Yunzhou's face--
"I'll kill you!"
A trace of cold sweat slipped from Lu Yunzhou's forehead, but Mrs. Lan had already put her hand down, as if nothing had happened, and passed by Lu Yunzhou's side.
Lu Yunzhou secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly turned around and said, "So...... The kid took his leave! ”
Mrs. Lan's voice seemed to come from outside the sky, and she did not look back.
"Go ahead!"
Lu Yunzhou was pardoned, and hurriedly turned around and left!
"Click...... Click......"
In the empty stone room, Lu Yunzhou could only hear his own footsteps, he knew that Mrs. Lan's eyes were watching him behind him, Lu Yunzhou struggled in his heart, and finally stopped when he walked to the wooden door.
"What, is there anything else you want to say?" Lady Lan's faint voice sounded at the other end of the stone chamber, echoing in the air.
Lu Yunzhou made a decision in his heart, and he didn't turn around, just turned his back to Mrs. Lan and said, "There is a secret room under the Gele Palace, which is the stronghold of that group of assassins. In addition, there are many of their people hidden in the Magnolia Building, and the one I know is called Wang Erdan! ”
The air seemed to be stagnant at this moment, and the next moment, Lu Yunzhou heard Mrs. Lan's voice coming--
"I see, I'll take care of it!"
"Thank you!"
Lu Yunzhou no longer hesitated, opened the wooden door, and left the stone room.
Originally, Lu Yunzhou did not plan to tell Mrs. Lan about this, but planned to come to Yulan Tower every day to inquire about the news of the assassin in the name of discussing music with Ouyang Xinyue, after all, he could not fully trust Mrs. Lan.
However, since Mrs. Lan had clearly told him that he could no longer find out the news about Ouyang Xinyue, and Lu Yunzhou didn't have to deal with her, then Lu Yunzhou had no choice but to inform him of the assassin's news and leave these problems to Mrs. Lan to deal with by herself!
"That's it! The problems that arise in the Yulan Building naturally have to be dealt with by the owner of the Yulan Building, which is the most appropriate! ”
Lu Yunzhou carried a bronze oil lamp, but there was no flint to ignite it, so he could only grope his way up the spiral ladder in the dark, and then get out of the closet.
The bedroom was still the same, the doors and windows were closed, and the dress was scattered on the bed, exactly the same as before Lu Yunzhou went down, without the slightest trace of an assassin.
"Looks like those assassins aren't going to come tonight."
Lu Yunzhou walked to the outer room, lit the bronze oil lamp, and then returned to the inner room with the oil lamp, began to clean up the dresses on the bed, put them back in the wardrobe as they were, and carefully checked that there were no mistakes, and then closed the door of the wardrobe.
Lu Yunzhou silently looked at the embroidery bed in front of him, folded the quilt and put it away, and straightened the pillow, he didn't plan to stay in this room anymore, after all, he couldn't risk assassination and sleep on the bed, and--
Recalling Ouyang Xinyue's shallow smile in his mind, Lu Yunzhou sighed lightly, and he didn't know how to face the Xinyue girl who was once as gentle as water, but wanted his life behind his back!
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have been a friend of you......"
Lu Yunzhou took one last look at the bedroom, confirmed that there was no flaw missing, then opened the door and disappeared into the moonlight......
At night, the Magnolia Tower was the most lively time, and Lu Yunzhou's figure was inconspicuously mixed in the crowd and left quietly......
