Chapter 275: The Method of Finding the Stone City
Shangguan raised one foot and stepped on the chair, with one hand on his knee, looking like a little rascal.
"According to me, just grab a few sacks of poisonous snakes and scorpions, let them go, and send people to follow them to see where they go. The five poisonous stones are so powerful, even if you haven't seen them with your own eyes, you should I know a little bit, isn't it much faster than using that shit liquid medicine?"
Nangong Yi took a sip of the warm tea, his white fingertips were almost the same color as the paper-thin white porcelain, with a delicate feeling.
"I have considered this reason before, but, not to mention where to find so many poisons, even if they are found, so many poisons are concentrated in a certain area in this monster forest and released. Isn’t it very dangerous for those who come in?”
Nangong Yi had his scruples and asked the guards to observe the reaction of the stone with that kind of liquid medicine, which would give them time to escape, but if they followed the poison directly, there was no guarantee that they would not encounter monsters directly.
This place is about to enter the depths of the monster forest. Any monster cannot be dealt with by a few guards.
Yun Wu thought that Long Qingxie had just discovered the Five Poison Stone on the side of the road, but now Shangguan and Nangong Yi were seriously inferring where the Five Poison Stone could be found.
I also don't know what to say, I really sympathize with them both.
"I think you are stupid in reading and reading. You are about to die, and you still care about other people's lives?" Shangguan irritatedly changed his other foot to step on the chair, and slapped the table, shaking the bowls on the table. rattle.
Nangong Yi shook his head, unable to see the expression on his face through the white sand.
However, that gentle laughter could hear his meaning.
He was still unwilling to exchange the lives of the guard and others for his own.
Shangguan raised his hand and pointed at Nangong Yi disrespectfully, bared his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, if you miss in such a hurry, go die yourself, don't drag others, give me some guards, and I will do it myself!"
"No, I am willing to cooperate with you, but that is after I find the Five Poison Stone. Before that, I will not let my men do those things for you."
Although Nangong Yi's voice was gentle, there was a trace of irrefutable firmness, which made people understand how much he opposed Shangguan's disregard for the lives of others.
...
When Shangguan and Nangong Yi were in a stalemate, the guards outside the door suddenly pushed the door open without authorization.
After this group of tall and burly men entered the room, they all knelt down on one knee facing Nangong Yi.
The guard who had trouble with Shangguan before raised his head and expressed their thoughts to Nangong Yi.
"My lord, you saved the lives of your subordinates, and you exchanged your own for them. Now, we are willing to do anything for you. Please listen to Mr. Shangguan, let us catch the poison and find it. Five Poison Stones!"
Behind him, many guards begged in unison.
"My lord, please give me an order!"
Nangong Yi reached out and rubbed his temples through the white gauze, feeling very helpless by his guards.
The Shangguan urged impatiently: "Okay, okay, now it's like this, what else can you disagree with?"
Yun Wu, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"Young Master Nangong, even if you don't let them go now, can you guarantee that they won't go quietly? If you go quietly without notifying anyone, and you can't call for help when you are in danger, it will be even more dangerous."
Nangong Yi was startled when he heard the words, looked at Yun Wu, finally let out a long sigh, and had to compromise.
"Ling'an, you should allocate your people properly, don't let anyone leave alone, go find the poison first."
Seeing Nangong Yi nod his head, the guard named Ling An's eyes turned red.
"Yes, this subordinate obeys." Ling An got up and waved at the other guards, "Come with me, start catching poison immediately!"
The guards left in a hurry, and the room was suddenly quiet, but it seemed a little empty.
Long Qingxie yawned lazily, hung half of his body on Yun Wu's body, held Yun Wu's left hand from an angle that others could not see, and refused to let go.
It was too conspicuous to struggle at this time, Yun Wu had no choice but to ignore him as a rogue.
Glaring at Long Qingxie secretly, Yun Wu asked Nangong Yi: "It's rare to see a young master who is only served by guards. Has Mr. Nangong always been like this?"
Nangong Yi heard the words, but seemed to be asked something that shouldn't be asked, an undercurrent flashed in the black eyes under the white gauze, and he didn't speak.
In fact, Yun Wu was just asking casually about the whereabouts of that brat.
Back then, that little kid followed him all the way to the border town, so it could be seen that that little kid should be very clingy to Nangong Yi.
Shangguan, who was busy eating other snacks, took the initiative to answer Yun Wu for him.
"They're all dead. Do you think Nangong Yi could still be poisoned if those people are still alive?"
As for the servants around him, all of them are like those guards, more loyal than anyone else.
If someone wanted to poison Nangong Yi, those servants would definitely die before Nangong Yi.
And that's the reality today.
"They're all dead?"
Yun Wu was slightly taken aback, that brat who was dissatisfied with her everywhere, but was actually just a soft-spoken kid, seemed to be a memory not long ago.
Why in the blink of an eye, people disappeared.
In fact, Yun Wu is not really a cold-blooded animal without emotion, but she is the one who does not allow herself to be easily emotional.
However, in the deepest part of her heart, there are also emotional fluctuations like an ordinary person.
Nangong Yi laughed with a shy voice, and said sadly: "It's my useless master who failed to keep them."
Long Qingxie also knew a thing or two about the people around Nangong Yi. It stands to reason that even if he made a move, he might not be able to wipe out their entire army and leave no one alive.
Who did Nangong Yi meet and what happened?
This question also appeared in Yun Wu's mind, but now is obviously not the time to ask about it.
Whether it's because of the current situation, or because of Nangong Yi's obvious attitude that he doesn't want to mention this matter.
Nan Gongyi was not a man who would indulge in the past all the way, he took a sip of tea to suppress his emotions.
"To collect so many poisons, I'm afraid it will take two or three days. What are your plans for these few days?"
Shangguan said carelessly: "Me? I'll just follow you and enjoy here!"
Nangong Yi looked at Yun Wu, waiting for her answer.
"Long Si and I will go back to the team first. Even if the five poisonous stones are hard to find for the liquid medicine, we must try our best."
Shangguan let out a "beep", completely mocking Yun Wu and thinking of doing useless work.
Nangong Yi didn't show anything about Yun Wu's decision, he just told Ling An to arrange the board and lodging for Lao Hu and his expedition team, not too bad.
Ling An thought in his heart that the young master did this because he valued Long Si's strength, and he should be treated better if he can suppress that lunatic Shangguan.
...
Come back from that hut in Nangong Yidu!
After entering the camp where the expedition team was assembled, Long Qingxie gave Ling An instructions in a low voice.
"Ling An, you should explain to the guards about the fight between me and Shangguan, and don't tell others."
"Okay, I'll tell them when I get back."
Ling An followed Nangong Yi, and met a lot of capable people who didn't like letting people know their strength in advance.
In his opinion, Long Qingxie's request was because he thought that Long Qingxie was a low-key person, so he liked him a little more.
Seeing the change in Ling An's attitude towards Long Qingxie, Yun Wu thought it was Long Qingxie who was fooling his innocent bodyguard again.
When Lao Hu and the others saw that Yun Wu and Long Qingxie would come back, they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.
"Xiao Wu, are you really back?"
Long Qingxie said to Lao Hu: "It's not true, is it possible that he is still alive?"
Old Hu yelled, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, you can still say this, children really have no taboos."
Long Qingxie just laughed it off, taboo? Taboo these gods and Buddhas? Or are you taboo about ghosts in the underworld?
For him, Long Qingxie, those didn't exist yet.
Ke Ke saw Yun Wu coming back, and happily shared a handful of wild fruits with him.
"Brother Xiao Wu, try this, it's very sweet!"
Yun Wu said thanks.
Putting the wild fruit into the mouth, the sweet and sour juice permeates the mouth, this humble wild fruit actually has the feeling of mouth water.
The thin man looked at it and booed next to him: "Oh, our little five is quite attractive to girls, Keke, you are so kind to your brother little five!"
Ke Ke immediately got a big blush from him, stomped her feet awkwardly and aggrieved, and hid aside to pack up the ingredients for cooking.
Seeing that Yun Wu's expression was not the same, Lao Hu knew that "Xiao Wu" was just a little girl's playmate to his daughter.
As for the others, there must be none.
Thinking about it this way, Lao Hu felt that the skinny man was troublesome.
"Okay, okay, what should I do, I have to continue to search for the Five Poison Stones after eating!"
The thin man made fun of himself, and walked away awkwardly.
The other three members of the tall, short, fat and thin group looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
I thought that the two of them seemed to have a good relationship, so they wanted to be a matchmaker to ask for favors, but now they are all right, have they been slapped in the face?
Yun Wu didn't care about this episode. She found a grassy hill near the camp and sat down, watching the entrance to the depths of the forest not far away.
At this time.
Someone next to him sat down, and Yun Wu knew who it was just by the hand that was stretched out as soon as he sat down.
Yun Wu patted Long Qingxie's unscrupulous hands away, and said depressedly: "I said you are a big man, can you just hug and hug without moving!"
But Long Qingxie turned a deaf ear to it, reached out his hand again, and put his whole body on Yun Wu's body.
"No! There is no need to discuss this matter, but speaking of it, little thing, if it weren't for your face today, my husband wouldn't make a move."
