Chapter 1218 Poison!
Looking back, it was Li Bushang standing beside the bed, holding a hand reaching out to the injured person on the bed.
And that person was one of the students sent to guard them - Wang Shuxing.
He was being held by Li Bushang, unable to move, his wrists nearly broken. His face turned pale from the pain, and he struggled hastily, "Let me go! What are you doing?"
"What?"
Li Bushan looked at him coldly: "I want to ask, what do you want to do?"
“…”
"Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you going to do to him?!"
Zhu Chengxuan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurried over. Another student, Sun Jia, had also woken up and looked at them in confusion. Zhu Chengxuan reached out and felt Qian Xiuwen's breath, then breathed a sigh of relief: "He's fine."
Li Bushan looked at Wang Shuxing gloomily: "You want to kill him?"
Wang Shuxing jumped up anxiously: "Are you kidding? Qian Xiuwen is my senior brother? How could I possibly kill him? You're the ones who want to kill him, right?"
"Then why are you not sleeping so late at night?"
"I'm worried about him. Get up and check on him!"
"How do I know whether what you said is true or not?"
Wang Shuxing was so angry that his face flushed red. He pointed at Li Bushang and said, "You are the ones who wanted to harm him, right? If it weren't for you, he would be seriously injured and unconscious now. Besides, you had a knife on you, and I was worried about you!"
As he spoke, he pointed at the knife on Li Bushang's waist.
That is the symbol of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but these students don't know it and just think of it as an ordinary weapon.
Li Bushang sneered: "Do I need a knife to kill someone?"
But when he finished saying this, his expression suddenly froze.
The hand that was holding Wang Shuxing's wrist exerted a little force, as if it had detected something. He made a "hmm" sound and let go of Wang Shuxing.
Zhu Chengxuan came over: "Brother Li, what's wrong?"
“…”
Li Bushang looked at Wang Shuxing in silence, then said, "He has never practiced internal energy, so he can't kill someone without a weapon."
"ah."
Zhu Chengxuan turned to look at Wang Shuxing. When he was caught by Li Bushang just now, he had nothing in his hands, and it was obvious that he didn't really want to kill anyone.
It turned out to be just a false alarm.
Wang Shuxing rubbed his wrist, which was sore from being pinched, and glared at Li Bushang. On the other side, Sun Jia said, "Okay, it's just a misunderstanding. Let's get some rest. It's getting late."
Wang Shu walked to the other side of the bunk bed and sat on the headboard with Sun Jia.
Zhu Chengxuan placed the candlestick back on the table, looked at Li Bushang again, and said softly, "Brother Li, it's time for you to rest too."
Li Bushang waved his hand and asked him to sit back and rest. He still leaned against the wall with his arms folded and closed his eyes.
Seeing that everyone had settled down, Zhu Chengxuan blew out the candle, and the room once again fell into pitch darkness.
Time passed little by little, and it was late at night.
The wind was blowing outside the window and the shadows of the bamboos were swaying.
Wang Shuxing and Sun Jia had already fallen asleep, snoring softly. Zhu Chengxuan was also lying back in his chair, snoring soundly, with a little saliva at the corner of his mouth.
But Li was not hurt and still stood against the wall.
He folded his arms, closed his eyes, and breathed deeply, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
The surroundings gradually became quiet, even the sound of the wind stopped, and the swaying bamboo shadows outside the window gradually stopped.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed by.
There was only a sharp whooshing sound.
A cold light broke through the window, turned into a bolt of lightning, and flew straight towards the injured person on the bed.
At this moment, Li Bushang, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. His wolf eyes sparkled in the darkness. He stretched out his hand suddenly, and his fingertips caught the cold light.
“Who is it?!”
He let out a low cry and looked out the window, and the black shadow on the window disappeared in a flash.
At this time, several other people in the room were also awakened by him.
Wang Shuxing was woken up and heard Li Bushang's voice. He immediately looked impatient: "Are you done yet?"
Sun Jia also raised his head and rubbed his eyes: "What's wrong?"
This time, without waiting for Li Bushang to speak, Zhu Chengxuan jumped up from his chair and hurried over to light the candlestick.
The lights flickered, and everyone saw what was clamped in Li Bushang's hand.
It turned out to be a dart!
The person the dart was aimed at was naturally Qian Xiuwen, who was lying on the bed seriously injured and unconscious!
"this--"
Both students were stunned.
Sun Jia was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned around to look at the window. Sure enough, he saw a hole. He hurried over, pushed open the door and looked out, but it was pitch black outside, without even a ghost.
"What's going on? Who is it?"
He walked back puzzled. Zhu Chengxuan had already stepped forward and took out his handkerchief to take the dart. "Brother Li, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
He held the dart and went to the side to examine it carefully. Wang Shuxing ran over and when he saw this, he was so scared that his face turned pale.
"What's going on?"
Li Bu Shang said coldly, "There was someone outside just now, and it seems that they wanted to kill people to silence them."
"how so?"
"Who wants to kill and silence the witnesses?"
Li Bushang said coldly: "I also want to know, this is in your academy."
Wang Shuxing's face darkened: "What do you mean?"
Li Bushang said, "The meaning is very simple. Didn't you suspect that we wanted to kill this person? But now, someone else wants to kill him, and it happened in your academy. It's not obvious who is doing it!"
"You are slandering me! How could we harm our fellow disciples?"
Li Bushang said, "Then why don't you ask him if anyone outside noticed anything unusual?"
Wang Shuxing looked at Sun Jia. He checked at the door and shook his head with a gloomy expression.
Not at all.
Wang Shuxing gritted his teeth and said, "That person can't be from our academy!"
While they were arguing, Zhu Chengxuan suddenly said, "Oh, this thing is poisonous!"
The two men were shocked again.
Turning around, Zhu Chengxuan was holding the dart against the candlelight and examining it. He found that the blade was flashing with a faint green light, which showed that it had been poisoned!
He was so frightened that he looked at Li Bushang: "Brother Li, you, do you have——"
"Nothing."
Li Bu Shang wiped his fingers with a handkerchief and said calmly, "I just touched the tail. They don't poison the tail to prevent the user from being poisoned."
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
Zhu Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He put the dart aside and walked over to look at Qian Xiuwen lying on the bed. Although he had two "accidents" in one night, he was not affected at all and was still unconscious.
Zhu Chengxuan asked, "How could this happen?"
Li Bushang looked at Wang Shuxing and Sun Jia with a gloomy face, remaining silent.
The two students also looked very uneasy. Although they had just been stubborn and refused to admit that it was someone from the academy who did it, if they thought about it carefully, could anyone else have done something like this in the academy?
