Chapter 237: Poison-proof Life
Yuncheng Yamen.
The leader of the yamen runners who had gone to the dock to pursue the suspect entered the back hall and reported to the people waiting there, "Sir, the boy has escaped. As you expected, the exiles received the news and immediately sent someone to pick him up. There were five of them, four men and one woman, all in their teens. They should be the young ones of the Su family and the three major factions."
The man sitting in the armchair beside the wooden table waved his hand and said, "Go down."
After dismissing the yamen runners, the man stood up and bowed slightly to the man in brocade clothes sitting on the other side. "Your Highness, the criminal files of the Xiao Su family transferred from the border town record that the entire Xiao Su family consists of eleven people, three boys and one girl. Bai Kui from Fengyun City also has a son. These people are now united as a group and are really difficult to deal with. What do you think?"
The man in brocade clothes closed his eyes slightly, his gaze deep and unfathomable. He reached into his lapel and pulled out a bright yellow scroll. "Send this imperial edict to the government office in the border town, and have the Su family go there to receive the decree."
The prefect of Yuncheng was shocked. He respectfully took the imperial edict and unfolded it to take a look.
The Emperor issued an edict: "With great grace, the Su family, innocent of all sins, has been implicated and convicted, and has been exiled for over ten years. I hereby pardon their crimes and allow them to return to their place of origin." The Su family is ordered to return to their place of origin as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, the Su family has already taken root in the land of exile and has picked up the lawless habits of that land. They may not necessarily return to their place of origin in accordance with the imperial edict." The Yuncheng prefect frowned.
"Master Yang, just go ahead and do it. It doesn't matter whether they return to their hometown or not. What I want is for the Su family to enter the city."
…
Su Wu was finally taken home by his brothers and sisters, and he thought he would be treated with care and concern.
But when he got home, he was thrown to the ground. No one asked him how he was doing, and his parents squatted beside him and laughed at him.
"Hey, you can't move? You're pretty good at jumping, aren't you? I heard you've been out there for over a year and jumped on dozens of stages. You can't be so listless back home! Get up and put on a show for Daddy!"
"You thought you were so capable, but Master Broken Blade taught you all that kung fu, and you're just a weakling? I'm afraid you'll have trouble finding a wife in the future, ah!"
Su Wu, "...Dad, Mom, why don't you two just give me a good beating? Why are you saying such sarcastic things? Won't you freeze your mouth?"
"No, are you cold lying on the ground?"
"...Grandpa! Grandma! Look at your good son and daughter-in-law, they are abusing their grandson!"
The main hall was too noisy, and the others left early, as they felt they had been left alone.
The boys and girls simply fled to the next yard and gloated over the other's misfortune from behind a wall.
The old man had specially left some pancakes for Tianbao for breakfast. He sat on the thatched roof with the little girl and handed the food to her with a snort. "If you can go to the morning market and get as far as the Yuncheng Pier, go ahead and don't even bother calling Grandpa when you come back. I'll be disappointed if I miss out on something fun!"
Tianbao ate the biscuit and said, "If we call you, how can we come back now?"
Grandpa Du really went with them, and he wouldn't be willing to leave until he turned Yuncheng upside down.
Poisonous old man, "Humph, it's lonely at the top!"
Tianbao seconded the suggestion, "Invincibility is the loneliest."
An old man and a young boy both sighed towards the sky.
"Grandpa Du, when I was a child I heard you say that the Poison King Valley was long gone. Where is the Poison King Valley now? Is the valley like the medicine garden at the back, with medicinal herbs planted everywhere?" Tian Bao lowered his eyelids and asked casually while biting a biscuit.
"That's definitely different. How can the Poison King Valley be compared to a small medicine garden? The weeds growing on the roadside in the Poison King Valley are all poisonous, something you can't easily find outside, hehe!" The old man narrowed his triangular eyes. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes when he thought of the Poison King Valley, but his face didn't show it. He still looked heartless. "It's a pity that he was gone later. Even my disciples and grandchildren are gone. He didn't live as long as me. I'm afraid he must have been reincarnated twice by now."
"Besides you, is there no one else alive in the Poison King Valley?"
The old man looked at the sky and paused almost imperceptibly, "No."
Tianbao had just finished a pancake and didn't ask any more questions, as if it was just a casual chat.
After washing up and returning to her room in the evening, she took out the silver candle from Guiyi Pavilion and lit it. Tianbao sat in front of the candle, and an invitation card appeared out of thin air in her palm.
Black cover with white herbal patterns.
Open it, and there are only a few words inside - Poison King Valley sincerely invites the Pavilion Master to attend the New Poison King Competition on February 20th, and awaits your arrival.
She didn't pour out the invitation at the time.
After closing the invitation and throwing it back into the space, Tianbao extinguished the candle.
When the lights went out, the girl disappeared from the room.
Fengyun City is still bustling after dark, and you can hear the sounds of drinking games and guessing numbers everywhere while walking on the streets.
The teahouses and taverns along the street were full of people. It seemed to be the custom of the ruffians and thugs in the city to spend all the money they earned during the day at night.
Wangque Tower is also bustling with noise.
Tianbao turned into the alley and flew straight to the third floor, jumping in through the huge stained glass window.
"If you jump in here in the middle of the night like this again, Dad will beat you like a thief." The man in white clothes was lying lazily on a small couch against the wall, and the smoke from the incense burner in front of him was wafting towards him.
Tianbao walked over and sat down opposite the Boshan incense burner, "It's godfather."
"I've never heard you call me godfather seriously." Bai Xiaofeng snorted, pulled out a letter from under the jade pillow and threw it over. "I wonder how long you can wait to come and get what you want."
Tian Bao took the letter and opened it. "It's not like you can't go to Tubei Village. You can deliver it there."
The man turned over and slapped the girl's back in silence.
Going to Tubei Village?
Do you want to relive the humiliation you suffered in the past?
"The new Poison King Valley reappeared in the world fifteen years ago. The Medicine King Competition is held once a year, usually in February when spring is in full bloom. Each new Medicine King can enjoy an unlimited supply of medicinal herbs from the Poison King Valley for one year." He said.
The girl didn't respond. Her fingertips holding the letter gradually turned white, and her almond-shaped eyes became darker.
The letter contained the information she had asked her godfather to help her investigate, about her poisonous grandfather's past.
That day at the Eight Immortals Peak, the words of the Seventh Elder lingered in her mind and she couldn't let go.
——"A monster who is hated by all his family members."
The word "monster" made her feel angry.
Poison Grandpa is not a monster.
Blinking her eyes, she wiped away the anger that was surfacing in them. When she looked up, her almond-shaped eyes returned to calmness. "Thank you, godfather."
"You little bitch, I worked so hard to get a thank you from you, huh. Go away, don't disturb my sleep."
"Don't use too much incense, or the smell will become smelly."
After the girl finished speaking, she jumped out of the window. Behind her, it was not known whether it was an incense burner or a pillow that followed her butt and fell out of the window.
On the way back to Tubei Village, Tianbao walked step by step, his whole body hidden in the night, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Du Buqun's life story: Born into a poor family, he was thin and ugly from childhood. At the age of four, he was sold by his parents to the Poison King Valley as a medicine man, where he tasted poison for thirty years. Due to his outstanding talent, he became the Poison King, but was later betrayed by his own brother, leading to the destruction of the Poison King Valley. This incident made his original family wealthy and prosperous, and the family lived in harmony.
