Chapter 729 The Bond Between Family Members
As soon as they entered, Li Dalang opened his eyes. Yes, Li Dalang and the others were currently at the Bad Guys' stronghold.
On his way back to Chang'an from Jiangnan East Road, Li Dalang had already considered that once they arrived in Chang'an, the Bad Guys would most likely seek out Li Sanniang to detoxify the two sleeping beauties.
Sure enough, after traveling for more than half a month disguised as a coffin escort team, the group arrived at the outskirts of Chang'an yesterday. Li Dalang then received a letter from the superior of the Shi family army, who had arrived earlier.
In summary, the letter meant that Li Dalang and his companions should stay with the Bad Guys until they had someone wake up the two sleeping beauties. They would then stay by their side to get firsthand information, and Li Dalang would be notified of any further actions.
Therefore, even after returning to Chang'an, Li Dalang still could not go home.
Li Dalang guessed that the Bad Guys would bring Li Sanniang over, which is why he was still waiting here for the 29th even after midnight.
Twenty-nine was clever; he had already guessed something from the slightest clues, not to mention that Li Sanniang was very famous among the Bad Guys.
After all, when Twenty-Nine was out on missions, the poison pills, antidotes, and effective wound medicines she carried were all made by Li San Niang.
That's why Twenty-Nine was so curious when she saw Li San Niang in that side hall.
"how?"
After removing his mask, Twenty-Nine took a sip of the tea poured by Li Dalang before slowly replying, "I brought Li San Niangzi over. Li San Niangzi said she can cure poison."
Li Dalang wanted to ask his aunt if she was alright, but the words stuck in his throat.
"……That's good!
"Get those two foreigners to talk as soon as possible, so we can follow the clues and find the mastermind behind it all."
Twenty-nine nodded in agreement with Li Dalang's words, then put down his teacup and stared at Li Dalang.
Li Dalang was puzzled by the stare. He reached up and touched his face. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No, no," Twenty-Nine shook his head, asking in a slightly smug tone, "You've been waiting here just to ask me this one question?"
"Don't you have any other questions?"
Twenty-nine winked at Li Dalang, her expression clearly saying, "Come on, ask me, ask me."
I knew you'd be itching to ask me, so come on, ask me!
Li Dalang paused for a moment, then laughed. He chuckled twice, picked up the teacup in front of him, drank it all, stood up, bowed to Twenty-Nine, and turned to leave.
Twenty-nine then got anxious. He stood up and grabbed Li Dalang's arm, complaining, "Why can't you take a joke?"
We've been through thick and thin together, so can't I even crack a few jokes?
Li Dalang knew when to stop, so he stopped in his tracks as Twenty-Nine was being pulled and sat back down on the chair.
This time, it was Twenty-Nine who poured tea for Li Dalang. After taking a sip from Twenty-Nine's teacup, Li Dalang asked softly, "You guessed it all along?"
Twenty-nine quickly nodded and explained, "It wasn't something I guessed at first. I just opened the door and saw you, and I thought about it before I was sure."
Earlier, when you heard me say that my name was Twenty-Nine, you weren't surprised at all.
This is a point of doubt.
(Chapter 716 plot)
Twenty-nine casually picked up a pastry from the plate on the table and ate it while continuing, "It's not like I haven't met other people before. If people suddenly heard our names, they would find it very strange."
If you're not pretending to be profound and genuinely don't find it strange, then it means you've encountered people with such names before, and they might even be one of our own.
That's one point.
"What is the second one?"
Twenty-nine swallowed the cake in his mouth and licked his fingers: "Secondly, you deliberately showed it to me yourself."
You came to me then and said you suspected that these two foreigners were poisoned.
How could a soldier who kills enemies on the battlefield see this?
Either you come from a family with a history of drug use, or you've seen this kind of poison before.
(Chapter 722 plot)
Upon hearing this, Li Dalang laughed. Indeed, this was something Li Dalang had deliberately revealed to Twenty-Nine.
After all, they had fought side by side and killed enemies together. Li Dalang felt it was inappropriate to keep everything from Twenty-Nine, so he deliberately told Twenty-Nine what he had said.
"Is this third reason because I was waiting for you in this house?"
"Yes, and if you also have the surname Li, and Li San Niangzi also has the surname Li, then when these factors come together, the conclusion is obvious."
Li Dalang nodded. Now that Twenty-Nine already knew about his relationship with Li Sanniang, he asked directly, "You just saw my aunt. How is she?"
Li Dalang looked at Twenty-Nine and asked her this question. Twenty-Nine did not answer directly at first. Instead, she lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying cautiously, "It should be alright."
Li Dalang wasn't the kind of person who couldn't read the room, and Twenty-Nine's behavior made him have a bad feeling. "What's wrong with my aunt? Has something happened?"
Seeing that Li Dalang was getting anxious and his expression was obviously much more tense, Twenty-Nine quickly made up for it, saying, "It's not bad, is it?"
Li San Niangzi was accompanied by Shi Ba and Lao Shi, both of whom were highly skilled in the alliance, so Li San Niangzi's safety was definitely not a problem.
That's right, that's right..."
Seeing Twenty-Nine's hesitant expression, Li Dalang was extremely anxious. He stood up and turned to leave, thinking, "If I can't go home, I'll just sneak a peek at my aunt. As long as she's alright, I won't show up."
According to the rules, Li Dalang was not allowed to see Li Sanniang at this time.
Twenty-nine quickly stood up and grabbed Li Dalang, "Hey, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even..."
"Twenty-nine, let me go!"
I won't break the rules; I'll just sneak a peek off the roof, one peek is enough.
One insisted on leaving, while the other tried to stop him. In no time, Twenty-Nine and Li Dalang were fighting face to face.
This action immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding guards. After the two had exchanged seven or eight blows, a guard broke in through a window.
Therefore, the two had no choice but to stop.
After a long explanation, An Gang stared at the two men for a moment before jumping out of the window again.
"Li San Niangzi looks alright, but she's too thin. She's not much different from the two Sleeping Beauties we brought back."
Sleeping Beauty was poisoned and couldn't eat, which is why she became so thin, like a stick.
I figured that since Li San Niangzi was a doctor herself, she definitely wasn't poisoned, nor could she be starving, and she certainly couldn't be sick.
She's probably just tired. I heard that Li San Niangzi manages a huge operation in the outskirts of Beijing.
