Chapter 26 The Poisoner

As the three big guys left, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Yu Wanli breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These people are all the hottest names in this year's Four County Martial Arts Competition. I was just worried about you, but I didn't expect that you could suppress them with just a wave of your hand. I admire your skills!"

"President Yu, you are too kind."

Lu Yu said calmly.

"They are just afraid of the consequences. The Four County Martial Arts Competition is about to be held, and there are competitors waiting for an opportunity. They dare not act rashly with me. I am just taking advantage of it!"

Hearing Lu Yu say this, Yu Wanli became even more emotional.

"Your Excellency has such a plan, which is many times better than the other reckless men with only profound cultivation. His future must be limitless!"

At this time, Yu Wanli looked around and found that there were still many people watching the excitement around him, so he winked at Lu Yu.

"Sir, why don't we talk for a while?"

Lu Yu's heart moved and nodded.

There were many booths of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce in this venue.

After a while, Yu Wanli took Lu Yu to an empty booth and dismissed all the people around him, leaving only two people standing next to the booth.

"Sir, have you found any clues about my son Zhou'er's poisoning?"

Yu Wanli asked in a low voice.

Lu Yu took out a piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it, and placed it on the booth.

The content on the note was a list of suspects provided by Yu Wanli, which was given to him by the Red Armor Guard on the way to Wuyang County.

"I have verified all the elixir booths on this list, and found no connection with your son's poisoning."

It turned out that he had been walking around all day and didn't buy anything, which made Lao Zhang very anxious. The real reason was that he had been investigating these booths according to the map.

"No clues..."

Yu Wanli couldn't help but look confused.

"My Zhou'er has no grudges against anyone. The people who murdered him should be some old rivals of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce. Don't you have any clues?"

"It's just that the people on the list are not related. I didn't say there are no clues."

Yu Wanli was stunned.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"There is a booth that sells a kind of elixir called Hu Ben Dan. After taking this elixir, it can increase a person's power by 20% to 30% in a short period of time. The refining method is extremely complex and profound. From the perspective of toxicology and medicinal properties, it is quite similar to the poison that your son was poisoned with."

Yu Wanli was immediately refreshed.

"Who is it? Please tell me the name, sir!"

Lu Yu looked into Yu Wanli's eyes and whispered a name.

"Da Li Sword Sect, Cui Zhu Peak."

Yu Wanli was shocked.

"Are you sure, sir?"

"I can only say that if, according to President Yu's speculation, the person who poisoned the treasure will definitely appear at this treasure tasting conference, then it can only be this one, because the elixir techniques of the other families have not yet reached such a high level of skills."

Yu Wanli's eyes wandered, and his face was uncertain.

After a long silence, he spoke again.

"Please keep this a secret for me! Don't let anyone else know!"

Lu Yu nodded in agreement.

"President Yu, don't worry, this is my job."

"Thank you, sir!"

Yu Wanli bowed.

"Sir, you have won a treasure today, and I should have held a banquet to celebrate for you, but to be honest, the news you just told me is too important, and I have to deal with it immediately. Let's leave the celebration for next time, please forgive me!"

"President Yu is polite, please do as you please!"

Yu Wanli immediately called his men and left in a hurry.

Lu Yu looked at his hurriedly leaving back, thinking silently in his heart, I don’t know what kind of origin Cuizhu Peak has, it actually made Yu Wanli lose his mind in an instant...

"Young Master..."

Old Zhang finally found a chance to get close to Lu Yu again.

"I don’t know why my master left in such a hurry?"

He asked tentatively with a flattering smile.

"Didn’t he tell you?"

"He only asked me to entertain you well, and didn’t say anything else."

"Then why don’t you chase him and ask?"

"This... uh, I know I was wrong, I said too much, please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again..."

Old Zhang was so scared that he apologized repeatedly.

"Young Master, you are really amazing today, you stole the limelight!"

"I'm afraid that the biggest winner of today's meeting is Young Master?"

"From tomorrow on, I'm afraid that everyone in the whole Jiangzuo area will sing the legendary story of Young Master..."

"When I first saw Young Master, I felt that Young Master was brilliant and extraordinary, and he would definitely be a man of great talent in the future..."

...

Old Zhang chattered non-stop, flattering.

"Young Master, what do you think we should buy? I haven't spent half of the money I prepared..."

"No more shopping, go and prepare a carriage for me!"

"Carriage?"

Old Zhang was stunned.

"Where do you want to go, Young Master?"

"To the dock! Then back to Ding'an!"

...

The carriage was soon ready.

When Old Zhang commanded the guards to fill the carriage with the weapons and armor purchased in the morning, Lu Yu finally found the trick to control the fire scale armor.

He pressed his entire palm on a scale in the middle of his chest and input the power of the red lotus in a special way.

Immediately, the scales on his body began to shrink one by one, and finally turned into a pine cone-shaped object, which was held by Lu Yu in his palm.

This scene made Lao Zhang and others around him stunned.

"This is truly a divine thing!"

"I'm afraid there won't be another treasure that can compete with it in the entire Jiangzuo land, right?"

"Only a person like the Young Master can subdue this thing and take it into his palm!"

"The appearance of a young master is truly unparalleled in the world..."

Seeing that Lao Zhang was about to start chattering again, Lu Yu quickly jumped on the carriage and slapped the horse on the butt.

"Let's go!"

"Hey! Young master, wait a minute, I haven't gotten in the car yet. Let me see you off..."

In the end, the mounted guards brought Lao Zhang to the dock.

Lao Zhang's bones were almost broken, and he looked at Lu Yu pitifully.

"Master, why are you in such a hurry to go back? In fact, there are many interesting places in Wuyang County, and Master has not even experienced them yet!"

"Now that I'm gone, I don't know when I can see the young master again... I still want to continue to serve the young master, but it's a pity that I have to stay in Wuyang County, but I don't have this opportunity..."

"If you have some free time, young master, you must remember to say a few nice words to the master on behalf of the villain, so that he can transfer the villain out of Wuyang as soon as possible!"

"Sir, take care..."

…

Lu Yu turned around and took a deep look behind him.

Then, boarded the boat back to Ding'an.

…

Next to the pier, in a dense forest.

A group of men in black were hiding among the lush bushes, each with their face covered except for a pair of eyes.

The location where they were hiding was exactly where Lu Yu looked back just now.

"Master, why don't you take action? If you don't, there will be no chance!" One of the men in black said anxiously.

The man in black who was called the master did not respond and pulled down his mask. It was Ning Feng who had borrowed the Feihong Sword from Lu Yu at the venue!

"He's aware of it."

Ning Feng's eyes were deep.

The man in black was taken aback.

"How is this possible? We are still so far away!"

Ning Feng smiled softly.

"This four-county military competition is interesting. I wonder who will capsize?"
