No words were spoken that night.
The next day when Lu Chen woke up, he found Li Mingyue looking at him with disgust.
Lu Chen looked at his pants and found that they were smooth. He breathed a sigh of relief and then asked with a puzzled look: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"If those people come to you again today, can you talk to them and ask them to give you a bath? You stink so much." Li Mingyue said with a look of disgust on her face, as if she was looking at a piece of shit.
Lu Chen got angry and said, "What's wrong with you, little girl? That's not what you said last night when you were afraid of mice."
Where is Teacher Jerry? Come and punish me again as soon as possible!
In fact, Lu Chen knew that he smelled quite bad, and he couldn't stand it, so when someone came to deliver food in the morning, Lu Chen asked to take a shower. The other party just said that he would report it to his superiors, and there was no further news.
It was not until the evening that Chen Laoliu appeared in front of Lu Chen again.
He looked at Lu Chen with complicated eyes, which made Lu Chen's heart almost frightened. Then he said: "Master Lu, we are almost ready for what you want."
"Really? Then let's get started. The sooner we get it done, the sooner we can cure your brother's illness. But before that, can you let me take a shower first?"
"Can!"
"It's really uncomfortable for me not to shower, and it might affect my success rate, so you won't let me... what did you say?" Lu Chen looked at Chen Laoliu in disbelief. How could the other party agree so readily? This doesn't make sense!
"I said yes. Actually, this is what I want to discuss with Master Lu next. You are an immortal, so you naturally have all kinds of magical methods. We are really scared. What if you take a bath and regain your strength, or if you make something and regain your strength?"
"So, we need a guarantee, a guarantee that even if you recover your magic power, you will not turn against us."
Lu Chen looked Chen Laoliu up and down. Don't be fooled by his big and strong appearance. He is really thoughtful and has thought of every aspect. No wonder he dared to arrest people in the capital.
Although he knew that the other party was holding back, if he didn't continue, he would have no chance to seek help. After thinking it over, he finally agreed: "Okay, what is the guarantee you are talking about?"
Chen Laoliu smiled slightly and took out a box from his arms, saying, "Master Lu is such a straightforward person. In that case, please take the pill in the box."
Inside the box was a crimson pill the size of a longan. Just by looking at the color, Lu Chen definitely didn't want this thing to enter his body.
It was obvious from the color that a lot of cinnabar was mixed in. Lu Chen really didn't understand how cinnabar could be eaten?
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't make a move, Chen Laoliu explained, "Master Lu, don't worry. Although this is a poison, the onset period will be at least ten days. As long as Master Lu cooperates with us, we will definitely give you the antidote during this period."
Lu Chen looked at Chen Laolu in front of him with a look of disgust on his face. He really wanted to ask the other party if he wanted to listen to whether what he said was human language.
Which sentence here can reassure me?
"Impossible! I won't eat anything like this, and don't tell me you'll give me an antidote. I don't trust your alchemy skills at all, and I'm afraid you can't guarantee the efficacy of this pill, right?"
Not to mention that after taking this poison, your life and death will be controlled by others, which is a very stupid act.
For example, the amount of materials used in each pill of these grandsons is probably not standardized, which means that the efficacy of the medicine will not be standardized.
They say it will take ten days, but what if the medicine is too strong and the symptoms appear on the eighth day?
An embarrassed look appeared on Chen Laoliu's face, which made Lu Chen's heart beat wildly. Did I really guess it right?
"Ahem, anyway, if Master Lu wants us to be at ease, please take this pill."
God damn, is this how it’s used?
"Boss Chen, I respect you as a man, but you can't bully people like this, right? The person lying on the hospital bed is your brother, not my brother. It's up to you to save him or not!" Lu Chen flicked his sleeves, showing the domineering attitude that a technician should have.
After hearing this, Chen Laoliu looked at him gloomily and said, "So, this matter is no longer negotiable?"
"What do you think?" Lu Chen rolled his eyes. How could there be such confused people in the world?
"Hey, I originally wanted to have a good discussion with Master Lu so as not to damage our friendship, but since Master Lu is so insistent, there's nothing we can do. We have to resort to some coercive measures."
As he spoke, Chen Laoliu handed the pill in his hand to his subordinate and said, "What are you still standing there for? Please give the medicine to Master Lu!"
Damn! These bastards are planning to solve the problem by force!
"Don't come over here. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Believe it or not, I will die right here!"
Chen Laoliu looked at Lu Chen with a fake smile and said, "They say it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. I really don't believe that Master Lu can have such courage. Why don't you show us a performance!"
Damn it, has he been seen through?
Looking at the thugs surrounding him, beads of sweat appeared on Lu Chen's forehead.
He said he would never take this pill no matter what. God knows whether the effect is really as Chen Laoliu said.
What if this thing contains some addictive drugs, then wouldn't his life and death be controlled by these people?
What should I do? What should I do in this situation?
At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly regretted that he had traveled through time for so long but had not learned a few kung fu skills.
I always thought that I could solve all problems by relying on my own brain, but now I have finally hit a wall.
If it doesn't work, I'll fight them!
But just when Lu Chen was gritting his teeth and preparing to fight to the death, Li Mingyue beside him suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I'll take this medicine!"
Everyone present stopped and stared at Li Mingyue in amazement.
After a long while, Chen Laoliu frowned and said, "You are just Master Lu's lover. You are not important enough. You are not qualified!"
Li Mingyue wasn't angry either. She just stood there, looking at him coldly, and said calmly, "I know that being Master Lu's lover isn't enough. After all, men are so cruel. Who knows if he'll abandon me? But what if I add the identity of the Princess of Da Qi? Am I qualified to swallow this poison now?"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked!
