Chapter 278 Secret Medicine
The old drunkard stopped what he was doing, looked at Lin Xiaoyue and said, "Okay, try a few more methods. Even if they don't work for you now, they will definitely be useful in the future. I'll grind them into powder for you first."
Lin Xiaoyue felt the warmth of support, and her thoughts became active. For the entire day, Lin Xiaoyue's mind was devoted to the gas mask. Not only did she set up a tent for the poison experiment, she also personally wore the mask to test the poison, trying various methods to verify whether her mask could release the poison. Lin Xiaoyue's experiment was interrupted until Liang Jingyao returned.
"Yue'er, what stupid things are you doing in there? Come out with me quickly!" Liang Jingyao was worried at first because he didn't see Lin Xiaoyue. Later, after asking Jiu Laoguai, he was so scared that he rushed directly into the experimental tent and pulled Lin Xiaoyue out.
Seeing Liang Jingyao's ugly face, Lin Xiaoyue thought he was poisoned and shouted in fear, "Dad, come and see, is Brother Liang poisoned?"
The drunkard didn't want to get involved, but Lin Xiaoyue's nervous shouting made him not dare to take the risk. He quickly ran out with the medicine box, "What's wrong? Weren't you fine just now?"
Liang Jingyao glared and scolded: "Go back! You have nothing to do here!"
Jiu Laoguai glanced at the experimental tent and guessed that Liang Jingyao might have been there before, so he walked over and said, "I'll just take your pulse."
Before Liang Jingyao could get angry again, the drunkard grabbed Liang Jingyao's wrist, felt his pulse, and said with confidence, "I'll leave first. You guys continue chatting."
Lin Xiaoyue called out innocently, "Dad," but the drunkard pretended not to hear and disappeared without a trace.
Now, only Lin Xiaoyue and Liang Jingyao were left there. Liang Jingyao held Lin Xiaoyue's hand tightly and refused to let go, fearing that she would run back into the poisonous tent again.
Lin Xiaoyue felt helpless and had to explain: "Brother Liang, please let me go! You're hurting my hand! I'm just doing an experiment. I want to make a gas mask so that you can go to war or go on a mission. With this mask, you won't have to worry about others poisoning you."
Although Liang Jingyao was deeply touched, he still didn't like Lin Xiaoyue risking her life, so he persuaded her, "We always carry detoxification pills when we go out, so you don't have to worry. No matter how good the gas mask is, I don't want you to take risks. What if the mask you made is not poisonous and you fall in the poison tent, how will I survive? I can't imagine the days without you by my side. It must be unbearable!"
Lin Xiaoyue blushed at Liang Jingyao's sweet talk and stammered, "No, it's okay. Dad and I made an appointment. If I don't return within half an incense stick of time, he will come to find me. And I also have detoxification pills hidden on me. If I feel something is wrong, I will take the medicine to detoxify immediately."
Liang Jingyao stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lin Xiaoyue's hair, then used a little force to hold Lin Xiaoyue in his arms, "Silly girl, don't take risks like this in the future, I will be heartbroken."
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't stand Liang Jingyao's gentleness. If Liang Jingyao had spoken more forcefully, Lin Xiaoyue felt that she could still retort with confidence. But now that he was so gentle and affectionate, Lin Xiaoyue really couldn't say no. She could only nod and agree, "Okay, I understand. By the way, how is it on Yangming Mountain now?"
Liang Jingyao released his hand and said, "The few we caught bit their tongues and committed suicide, and the rest escaped. Yangming Mountain is safe for now, so don't make this gas mask. You don't know, you almost scared me to death by what I just heard!"
Lin Xiaoyue found it hard to imagine the tall and straight Liang Jingyao being frightened to death, and said embarrassedly: "Haha, I won't do it again. I've already tried it out, I can just go back and improve it."
Liang Jingyao took Lin Xiaoyue's hand and said proudly: "Okay, Yue'er is really smart. You have helped me solve so many problems. I really can't live without you for a day!"
Lin Xiaoyue covered Liang Jingyao's mouth and said shyly, "What a slick talker! This sneak attack failed again. I wonder who Emperor Liang will send next? I hope Prince Rong's Tiger Roar Army arrives soon. That way, we'll have enough manpower and won't be afraid of anyone who comes!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "It's almost there, let's hold on a little longer!"
In the capital, Emperor Liang was furious when he learned that the Jianghu Order had failed again. "Aren't you known as the most powerful sect in the Jianghu? How come you can't even kill one person? How can I entrust you with important tasks in the future?"
Cheng Deming knelt on the ground and trembled. Liang Jingyao's strength was too terrifying. All of his men were good fighters. Even though he brought the most powerful killer and the most lethal hidden weapon with him, they could not threaten Liang Jingyao at all.
Jianghu Order suffered heavy losses because of this defeat, and his prestige in Jianghu Order was in jeopardy. If Emperor Liang no longer supported him, he would soon lose control of Jianghu Order!
"Your Majesty, please give me another chance. This time I will definitely rush into Yangming Town and kill Liang Jingyao!" Cheng Deming kowtowed and begged bitterly.
If Emperor Liang had no one who could defeat Liang Jingyao, he would have killed this incompetent Cheng Deming long ago!
"Last time you spoke as if it were true, but you were still beaten away. What makes you think you can beat Liang Jingyao this time? Although I sit in the palace, I am not so easily fooled!" Emperor Liang slammed his hand on the table.
Cheng Deming's heart trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, we at Jianghu Order have a secret medicine that can instantly increase a person's martial arts tenfold. However, it can only last for one day. After one day, the person will basically be useless. But for the sake of Your Majesty's great cause, I am willing to let a disciple of Jianghu Order give it a try!"
Emperor Liang had never heard of such a powerful secret medicine before, and he instantly became interested. He said, "Alright, I'll give you one more chance! This is the last time. If you can't capture Yangming Town and kill Liang Jingyao, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Cheng Deming kowtowed three times and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy! I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Emperor Liang waved his hand and said, "Back off!"
After leaving the palace, Cheng Deming went straight back to Jianghu Order. Since the defeat, Jianghu Order had been more chaotic and depressed than ever before. It could be said that it was torn apart, and several small gangs had been formed privately.
If Emperor Liang had not firmly supported Cheng Deming to be the leader of Jianghu Order, I am afraid that Jianghu Order would no longer exist!
"The emperor has ordered us to rest for one night. Before setting off tomorrow, we must use Jianghu Ling's secret medicine. This time, we must succeed and not fail!" Cheng Deming said in a deep voice while standing in the main hall.
Unfortunately, only a few people responded, and most people turned and left after listening to what Cheng Deming said.
Cheng Deming felt very embarrassed and punished a few of the little guys on the spot to vent his anger.
