He held his breath, not daring to move, and listened intently to the noise outside.
"Come in, he's already fast asleep." A rough voice sounded.
Mu Qingyun was startled. Isn't this voice the shopkeeper's? What does he want to do?
A voice came from outside the door, which seemed to be quite far away: "Shh, don't scream so loudly, in case you are not asleep, you will be in trouble if something bad happens."
Mu Qingyun was very familiar with this voice; it was the waiter who took him upstairs.
He looked very enthusiastic, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning.
Their footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Mu Qingyun felt his blood solidify.
Someone pulled open the bed curtains and saw the quilt arched up on the bed, and the excitement in his eyes could not be stopped.
He tightened his grip on the knife and pulled back the quilt.
At that moment, Mu Qingyun under the quilt met his eyes. This man was really the owner of this store.
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with ferocity. He picked up a knife and rushed towards Mu Qingyun, wanting to kill her.
Mu Qingyun discovered his intention and rolled to the side, and his knife hit the quilt and missed.
Suddenly, the shopkeeper was so angry that he drew his knife and stabbed towards Mu Qingyun.
Mu Qingyun jumped up from the bed and covered the shopkeeper's head with the quilt.
He took this opportunity and ran towards the door.
The waiter heard the noise and walked in from the door. He was slightly startled when he saw Mu Qingyun running over.
After quickly coming to his senses, he slowly approached Mu Qingyun with a sinister smile.
At this time, the shopkeeper had already walked down from the bed, and the two of them surrounded Mu Qingyun.
"I told you to keep your voice down, but you woke him up." The waiter scolded the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was unconvinced and retorted: "Who told you to give them medicine that has no effect? He didn't even have any reaction after taking it."
From their conversation, Mu Qingyun learned of their conspiracy.
He took the medicine, but why didn't it work? Was the medicine ineffective? Mu Qingyun was a little confused.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's get rid of him quickly." The waiter said loudly.
Mu Qingyun glanced at them. They seemed to have some kung fu skills, but he was not sure he could win in a one-on-two situation. Anyway, he decided to give it a try.
He hooked his finger at them and threatened, "Come together."
The waiter came forward, drew out the whip in his hand, and planned to tie up Mu Qingyun.
Mu Qingyun dodged and moved quickly. The opponent's whip only hooked the corner of his clothes and he dodged it.
"It's not that easy to hide." The shopkeeper's voice came from behind.
Mu Qingyun was shocked, oh no.
A sharp knife stabbed at him from behind. Mu Qingyun had no time to dodge and saw the knife was about to stab him.
Huh? It didn't hurt. He turned around and saw an incredible scene.
The knife bounced away, spun around, and stabbed the shopkeeper's hand, finally falling to the ground, with blood gushing from his hand.
The shopkeeper was stunned and looked at the knife on the ground in disbelief.
"Old Zhu, what are you doing?" The waiter opened his eyes wide, full of surprise.
I didn't ask you to hit him, but why did you hit yourself? Such a stupid person is not worthy of being my teammate. The waiter was so angry that he almost died.
Mu Qingyun sneered: "You can kill me with just this, you're dreaming."
The waiter gritted his teeth and said, "Just watch, I can kill you with one hand."
“That doesn’t count.”
He threw away the whip, picked up the long sword beside him, and slashed towards Mu Qingyun.
Mu Qingyun had no weapon in his hand, so he picked up a stool beside him and smashed it over.
The stool was split by the sword and quickly fell down. The sword quickly stabbed again, and the sword intent cut through the air.
Mu Qingyun was unable to dodge and suddenly felt his body getting hot. Just as the sword was about to pierce him, he bounced it away.
The sword seemed to have eyes and pierced into the waiter's body. The waiter felt as painful as if he was pricked by a needle and broke out in cold sweat.
He endured the pain and pulled out the sword with force, his blood spurted out and splashed onto the ground.
Seeing this scene, Mu Qingyun noticed something unusual. Was there something on his body protecting him?
He suddenly remembered that before leaving Kyoto, Yan'er gave him a amulet. Could it be that thing?
The waiter and the shopkeeper were injured one after another, and they sensed something was wrong.
They didn't dare to try again. If they encountered the same situation again, they would be the only ones who would get hurt.
Anyway, the lives of the others are in their hands, so they are not worried about Mu Qingyun escaping.
Thinking of this, the waiter glared at Mu Qingyun and yelled at him: "You kid, just wait for us."
After saying that, the two of them supported each other and left the room.
After watching them leave, Mu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he wanted to let them go, but that he was too weak.
He wanted to figure out what had just happened.
So, he took out the amulet that Mu Nanyan gave him from his arms. It should be this thing that protected him just now.
As for why he was not knocked unconscious, he guessed that it was because he had taken the pills given to him by Yan'er.
Yan'er said that this pill has the effect of detoxifying. After taking it, ordinary poisons cannot harm him.
Were the others drugged?
He hurried to the next room and found that those people had indeed fainted.
They must have eaten the food, which was drugged.
The only way is to capture those two men and force them to hand over the antidote.
If there was really no other option, he had to take out the pill given by Yan'er, put it in water, and let them drink it.
In the next room, the prince also fainted. However, Mu Qingyun ignored him.
He hurried to find Huo Qing and found that he had just woken up. He probably didn't take too many medicines and his condition was not that serious.
"Lord Huo, are you okay?" Mu Qingyun helped him sit up and asked anxiously.
Huo Qing felt a little dizzy. He struggled to sit up and looked at Mu Qingyun in front of him, smiling with relief. "Fortunately, His Highness is fine."
Huo Qing had no doubt as to why Mu Qingyun was awake.
He thought Mu Qingyun disliked the food here and didn't eat much.
After a long time, the effect of the medicine wore off and Huo Qing was no longer in danger.
"Just now the shopkeeper and the waiter came to kill me, but they found that I was not knocked unconscious, so I chased them away." Mu Qingyun paused.
"They won't come over for a while, but our people have been knocked unconscious. Without the antidote, these people will not survive."
Mu Qingyun expressed his guess.
Huo Qing thought for a moment and put forward his opinion, "Your Highness, it seems that we can only leave here after we wait for them to come back, capture them, and force them to hand over the antidote."
Mu Qingyun thought so too. Since they had put so much effort into setting up such an inn, they would not give up this place easily and would probably come back.
They placed the unconscious person in a room so that they could be kept in easy care.
Huo Qing kicked the prince and said sarcastically, "Didn't the prince dislike the food? Why did he faint?"
Mu Qingyun had disliked the prince for a long time. When Huo Qing was rude to the prince, he pretended not to notice.
"Maybe he is more afraid of being hungry." Mu Qingyun sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the inn suddenly opened.
Someone is coming, this is their unanimous thought.
