On this side, Xue Huan was busy stocking up on snacks, while on the other side, in a courtyard of the Cai Mansion.
The sorcerer invited by Cai Fu was calling back the scent-seeking bees he had released in the yard.
The scent-seeking bees were raised by the sorcerer Wei using special techniques and have an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
Relying on the scent-seeking bees, Wei Shushi made a name for himself in the martial arts world and earned the nickname "Old Dog Wei". This nickname, on the one hand, means that the scent-seeking bees in his hand are sharper than a dog's nose, and on the other hand, it means that Wei Shushi is like a dog, who will not let go once he smells something good.
Although his reputation is not very good, there are always people who come to him for help.
This time, Cai Fu hired him for a large sum of money because he had heard of his name, hoping to use his methods to find out the source of the chili peppers in Zhao Xiaoxian's hands.
Wei Laogou was full of confidence about this. He thought that with the sensitive sense of smell of the bee, it would be easy to detect it.
A few days passed, and Yingxianlou's business was still booming thanks to the chili peppers provided by Zhao Xiaoxian. Zhao Xiaoxian now opened his own shop and made a lot of money on the first day.
So Cai Fu couldn't sit still anymore and asked Wei Laogou to call back Xunxiangfeng. He wanted to know where Zhao Xiaoxian's chili came from tonight!
Old Dog Wei took out a bone bell and shook it. The sound of the bone bell was inaudible to humans, but the scent-seeking bees could. In the past, once the bone bell rang, the scent-seeking bees would quickly return to him.
But this time, no matter how he shook the bell in his hand, the scent-seeking bee was nowhere to be seen!
At first he didn't notice anything wrong, but after a quarter of an hour, the scent-seeking bee still didn't fly back, so something was wrong.
The sound of the bone bell has a limited range, about twenty miles in radius. Within this range, the scent-seeking bees can hear it, but beyond this range they cannot, so he will not let the scent-seeking bees fly too far.
It just so happened that Zhao Xiaoxian was mostly active in the city, within the summoning range of the bone bell.
Logically speaking, the scent-seeking bee should be able to fly back quickly from this distance...
Cai Fu saw him dangling a silent bell for a long time without any result, so he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Wei, what's going on?"
Wei Laogou was already panicking at this point, wondering if something had happened to the bees. However, he subconsciously refused to believe it. Facing his employer's inquiries, he remained calm, "My bees may have followed Zhao Xiaoxian out of the city, and that's why they didn't hear my call and return in time."
"Leaving the city? How is that possible? I have people watching the city gate. If Zhao Xiaoxian leaves the city, I will receive the news immediately."
"Oh, if you could find out Zhao Xiaoxian's whereabouts so easily, then it wouldn't have taken so long for anyone to figure out where the chili peppers in her hand came from."
Cai Fu was annoyed by Wei Laogou's ridicule, but he couldn't get angry. He said in a slightly stiff tone, "Then we can only wait tonight?"
Wei Laogou glanced at him and took out a jade honeycomb the size of a lotus pod from his sleeve. The honeycomb was carved very realistically. He tapped the honeycomb gently, and a jade-colored bee the size of a fingernail flew out, buzzed around him, and finally landed on the honeycomb.
This jade-colored bee is a queen bee of the scent-seeking bee. The queen bee can sense the location of the brood. The scent-seeking bee that Wei Laogou released before was a brood.
He took out a porcelain bottle, which contained the finest royal jelly, which he had obtained with great difficulty.
He opened the cork, and the queen bee smelled the fragrance and came to the mouth of the bottle to eat.
After eating, the queen bee flies away.
Wei Laogou glanced at Cai Fu and said, "Follow me."
The queen bee flew all the way to the Zhao Mansion. When she arrived outside the wall of the Zhao Mansion, Wei Laogou said to Cai Fu, "Wait here. I'll go in and take a look."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already taken to the air and flew in silently like a bat.
Old Dog Wei has been traveling around the world and has done many evil things, but he has not been killed by his enemies yet. What he relies on, besides the scent-seeking bees he raised himself, is his excellent light-body kung fu.
It's very powerful to escape.
He flew all the way in without alerting the patrolling guards in the mansion at all.
Those guards were carefully selected by Chen Tian. They all knew some martial arts and could easily fight three people at once. However, these guards were just ordinary people who had never practiced martial arts. They could not compare with Wei Laogou, an old veteran who had practiced internal martial arts.
Following the queen bee, Wei Laogou went straight to the inner courtyard where Xue Huan lived.
Because he flew in from the back door wall, he did not pass through the garden behind the central hall, and did not fall into the illusion created by the magic fruit.
Coming to the window, Wei Laogou quietly listened to the movement inside. It was very quiet, not even the sound of breathing. Is there no one inside?
Ordinary people naturally cannot hear the faint breathing sounds from a few meters away, but Wei Laogou has internal strength and his hearing is much sharper than that of ordinary people.
There was no breathing sound inside at the moment, which only meant that there was no one inside.
But Cai Fu’s people had clearly reported that Zhao Xiaoxian had returned home, but now she is nowhere to be seen. Could it be that there is a secret passage in her house?
Now that he was here, Wei Laogou decided to investigate.
He skillfully unfastened the window latch, jumped in, and landed silently.
The room was filled with a faint and refreshing fragrance, not from spices or flowers, but from the body odor of the woman herself!
Realizing this, Wei Laogou's mind couldn't help but waver. He heard that Zhao Xiaoxian looked ordinary, but the fragrance she had was something that many women couldn't compare to.
A woman's appearance doesn't matter when doing things at night, but her body fragrance is rare.
It’s a pity that the woman is not in the house, otherwise I could take the opportunity to have some fun tonight.
Since there was no one there, Wei Laogou put away his initial caution and looked around the house, but he did not find any secret doors or secret passages.
At last he came to the bedside and drew aside the curtains.
At this moment, a black shadow rushed over like lightning, bit him at the tiger's mouth, and then quickly disappeared.
It was the black snake that Xue Huan had placed outside.
She had kept the black snake just to be on the safe side, to warn herself, but now she had an unexpected surprise.
After being bitten, Old Dog Wei felt something was wrong and quickly retreated to the yard. He looked into the moonlight and saw two holes at the base of his knuckles and black blood coming out of his eyes!
poisonous!
Realizing this, his eyes went dark and he quickly took out a small blue porcelain bottle from his arms and poured a pill into his mouth.
He had worked so hard to get this detoxification pill, just in case. Unexpectedly, he was careless today and was bitten by a poisonous snake, wasting this precious detoxification pill!
After taking the pill, Wei Laogou used his internal energy to dissolve the medicinal power.
A quarter of an hour later, he spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood with a "puff" sound.
