Chapter 199: Drugs (1)
Huo Lao Er was still as plain as a stone beside him, and said in a muffled voice: "No one saw it!"
Seeing no one admitting to taking the purse and scimitar, the short and stocky man snorted coldly, "Second Brother Huo, you keep inviting me to Suijin Town to make a fortune, yet you're confined to this cave every day and dare not leave. What's the meaning of this? Are you trying to use us to avenge your personal vendetta?"
The people around immediately became restless and drew out their shiny scimitars.
Huo Lao Er was not annoyed, but said in a deep voice: "Suijin Town is different now than it was before. You saw it too. That day, there was just a small disturbance at the market, and the guards immediately rushed over to suppress it.
It's impossible to stir up trouble and rob people in the chaos like we did five years ago. We can only look for an opportunity..."
The short and strong man interrupted him and said, "Don't tell me you're looking for an opportunity. You said you'd pay money to buy us brothers to take action, so pay the money first. As long as the money is in place, you can wait as long as you want.
Who wants to hide in a cave and eat mushrooms? We want to go back to the grassland, rob a tribe, eat meat and sleep with women.
If you keep making empty promises, I won't be polite."
Huo Lao Er was speechless for a moment: It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. These Di Lu people have not changed their words. Now we need money to appease people.
He had sneaked into the town a while ago and had already found out that the money used to buy the land in Suijin Town was in a yard in the town, but the town was heavily guarded and it was difficult to take action.
The Song family is even more relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside, with the three brothers and sisters always surrounded by people.
The person who troubled him the most was Song Liyun.
Although she was a girl with no kung fu skills, she had extremely quick reactions and was extremely courageous. No wonder those who tried to attack her failed the first two times.
If you want to catch her and make her give out Wanjia's contraband, you have to take another risk.
Just let the Di Lu people sneak into Suijin Town to disrupt it, and then capture people yourself.
But the Dilu people in front of him didn't listen to his words at all.
And now someone has died. Although the deceased was just a refugee who was gathered back halfway, it also gave the Di Lu people an opportunity to attack.
"Chibuluo, don't be angry. This is not the first time we've dealt with each other. Harmony brings wealth."
Following an old voice, an old man slowly walked out of the cave.
Song Liyun didn't know Huo Laoer, but she knew this old man. Seeing him from afar, she couldn't help but be surprised and murmured in a low voice: "It's Hong Jingtian!"
Zhao Tingduo was lying next to her. When she heard Song Liyun say the name Hong Jingtian, she stopped and whispered, "Who is he?"
Worried about alerting the gang, Song Liyun leaned close to Zhao Tingduo's ear and whispered, "The last time you came to Suijin Town, you encountered someone disguised as someone who came to my house to commit a crime. They were his men."
“Hmm!”
He heard the words clearly, and a warm breath came over him. Zhao Tingduo felt his ears burning instantly. He quickly moved away a few inches and stopped talking.
He had no habit of chatting on the job, and he had never spoken to a woman at such close range.
Hong Jingtian was used to a life of luxury, and the running around these days had made him suffer a lot, and he was now on the verge of collapse.
He pulled a silver note from his sleeve pocket: "This is a draft for two hundred taels of silver from Tonghui Bank. You can take it first."
Chibuluo refused to take it: "What use are these scraps of paper on the grassland? I want real gold and silver."
He was a member of the Di tribe and could not take the silver notes into the city of Wu Dynasty to exchange them for silver.
If Hong Jingtian gave him a silver note now, it would be just a piece of waste paper.
Hong Jingtian was not annoyed. He walked up to Chibuluo and whispered happily, and then the two of them walked back to the cave.
As time grew darker, someone prepared to dig a hole near the cave to bury the bodies.
Only Huo Laoer and five or six others were left outside, and the others went back to the cave to rest.
Song Liyun knew that the opportunity had come!
The drug would be most effective in this kind of enclosed cave, but she needed to get close.
But there were two people outside digging nearby, and three others guarding the entrance of the cave, making it impossible to get close.
Song Liyun pulled Han Ming and Zhao Tingduo, and the three of them retreated several feet.
Before the two could speak, Zhao Tingduo said, "They are colluding with the Di tribe bandits, so be careful."
"Di Lu people?" Song Liyun asked in surprise.
It was the first time she saw the so-called Di Lu people. She had heard Yunniang describe the Di Lu people as cruel before, and she thought the Di Lu people looked very scary.
In fact, I just heard that there was a difference in the way he spoke, and his facial features were a little more three-dimensional than those of Wu Chao people.
Han Ming's face was gloomy. "These bandits are colluding with the bandits of Wu Dynasty and traveling between the two places. Once they escape, it will be difficult to catch them."
Seeing Song Liyun still a little stunned, Zhao Tingduo explained, "These bandits are roaming wolves on the grassland. They usually bring some tea bricks and salt with them. Whenever they encounter a tribe, they stay there for a few days. But if they are given the opportunity, the tribe they stay with will be harmed."
In other words, these people were also despised by the grassland tribes.
Song Liyun nodded, indicating that she understood: "There are at least twenty of them. If we wait too long, something might happen. We can't waste this opportunity."
Now the Di Lu people have entered the cave to rest, and there are few people left outside. Song Liyun is worried that a large force from the garrison will come. If there are too many people, this place will definitely be alarmed. If they just wait, they will miss the opportunity.
Han Ming asked, "What ideas does the girl have?" He knew that Song Liyun would not take anyone away for no reason.
Song Liyun didn't waste any more time and said directly: "Most people are resting in the cave now. I have a potion. Just spray some around and it will make people unconscious."
Zhao Tingduo's eyebrows jumped, but he said nothing.
Han Ming was even less curious. He used whatever the girl gave him. He stretched out his hand and said, "I'll go put the medicine in!"
"No, you don't know how to handle the medicine bottle. I'll do it."
The powerful drug is sprayed in a can. If this kind of super-temporal thing falls into the hands of others, it is more difficult to explain than a steel pipe.
Zhao Tingduo's face was calm: "You don't know kung fu, so you can't go into the cave."
Now, from the outside, we only know that the bad guys are resting in the cave, and we have no idea what the specific situation inside. If Song Liyun goes in alone, it would be really risky.
"What should we do then?"
Song Liyun was not stubborn either. As the saying goes, three cobblers can be better than Zhuge Liang, so she was still willing to listen to other people's opinions.
Zhao Tingduo said, "I'm not good at light body techniques. Uncle Han, please lead the people at the door away first, and Miss Song and I will go in."
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "How long does it take for your medicine to take effect, and how long will it last?"
Song Liyun said: "It takes effect within one breath. If there is no antidote, it will take at least an hour to wake up. The time depends on how much is inhaled."
Han Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Zhao Tingduo didn't understand. He only went in and out of military camps and grasslands, and was not good at dealing with the people in the underworld.
Han Ming said, "This medicine is really powerful. If nothing goes wrong, we will definitely catch everyone in the cave."
There are also love potions in the world.
Or it can be mixed with alcohol or food and taken, or blown into the room as smoke and let people inhale it while sleeping. Not only is it easy to be discovered, but the effect is also difficult to determine.
Outside the cave, two Di Lu people who were burying the bodies had already dug a shallow pit and were putting the bodies into the pit.
Without further ado, let’s get started.
