After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Where did the wind come from, blowing across the torches?

The flame trembled violently and almost went out. Darkness flashed before his eyes, and soon the previous brightness returned. Zhuang Lichuan's wrist hesitated, and just as he was about to stab it down, there was a slight "ding" sound, and something hit the dagger. He felt a shock in his palm, and the dagger slipped out of his hand...

Zhuang Lichuan subconsciously looked at the ground, and saw a silver hairpin lying quietly next to his dagger. The hairpin looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere... But now he had no time to think about it, and when he turned around, he saw a girl walking out of the darkness. She was wearing a nightgown, with a neat figure and an even neater expression. At first glance, she looked like someone who was not someone he would be easy to mess with.

He knew this person, another girl beside Nan Yin - the girl who had been learning martial arts and horse stance with Yuan Junfeng these days.

Oh no! He had no idea there was someone hiding here!

In the midst of the electric carbide sparks, how could he not know that he was being set up! He immediately used his hand as a palm and slapped the head of the "unconscious Pickup" - he wanted them to die! Even if he was exposed in the end, he just wanted them to die! How dare the yellow-mouthed brats set him up! As soon as he raised his hand, a fishy sweetness suddenly surged in his throat, and the whole person paused, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth...

The girl, who was still unconscious at the time, slowly touched the place where her forehead was hit, and slowly woke up. There was no confusion in her eyes. In the flickering firelight, she smiled gently, "Elder, you'd better not use your skills, otherwise, your martial arts, which are not good enough to begin with, will really disappear in one day."

"You didn't faint?!" Zhuang Lichuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood again, "You were just pretending!"

Yuan Ge stroked the empty teacup in front of him, pressed his palm to appease Jianshu who came to his side, and then he propped up his chin and smiled at Zhuang Lichuan who was regulating his breath beside him, "Second Elder, you really treat this secret room as your own. You even took this recipe... But this poison is useless. Anyone who is a little bit prepared will not be affected. I have seen it in Feng Lao's notes. It is said that Miss Yuan made it for fun when she was young... You use this poison to deal with me. It's really underestimating me."

The feeling of the blood boiling in my internal organs is really uncomfortable, but this damn girl's mouth is like poison, and every word she says can make people so angry that they are fuming.

Zhuang Lichuan no longer wanted to talk.

On Zhixuan Mountain, his martial arts skills were really not impressive. He had practiced in his early years, but he was not gifted. No matter how hard he trained, he could not catch up with others. So he simply gave up and slacked off. It was better than fighting for his life and ending up with an inferior result... At that time, Yuan Ge died, and he and Jin Su entered the secret room. He thought about getting some poison recipes that he could make and carrying them with him on weekdays, so that they could save his life at a critical moment.

He really wasn't prepared for tonight.

But at that time he had already made up his mind to kill, so he naturally would not use his martial arts to kill people. He would first poison the person to unconsciousness, and then kill him with a dagger, and then disguise it as suicide - this secret room was left by Yuan Ge, and no one could tell what kind of strange poison was in it. The reason that this little girl broke into the secret room at night and accidentally got some hallucinogenic poison and committed suicide with a dagger was not difficult to believe.

But who would have thought that in the end, he would be the one who lost everything. Zhuang Lichuan slowed down his breathing, shifted his gaze from Yuan Ge to Jian Shu, and suddenly sneered, "Nan Yin is really good at tricks. The two maids around him are more powerful than the other... Little girl, your martial arts are already good, right?"

Jianshu was very modest, and he said it in two concise words: "I have a basic understanding."

"Heh." Zhuang Lichuan retracted his gaze. "One is eloquent and can make a dead person alive. The other is taciturn and speaks sparingly... I underestimated the two of you. Now that you are not as skilled as me, there is nothing to say. You can kill me or chop me up, it's up to you."

"What are you talking about, Second Elder? Why do you want to kill and chop me up? You are our elder, and you are also the elder of Zhixuan Mountain. If we want to stay on this mountain, we naturally cannot kill and chop you up, right?" Yuan Ge pushed the teacup that Zhuang Lichuan had not touched just now in front of him, smiling slowly and calmly, and tapped the wall of the teacup with his white fingertips. "How about this, I have a few questions here. If you are willing to answer my questions, you can get out of this secret room the same way you got in tonight, and we will not mention anything that happened here... If you don't want to, then drink this cup of tea, and this matter will be over, how about it?"

After drinking this tea, one will lose consciousness and his life or death is uncertain. He will not believe a word of the "turn the page" that this dead girl said. Zhuang Lichuan suppressed the surging blood and slowly stood up from the ground. "What's the problem? Tell me."

Yuan Ge slowly raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on the other person's expression, "First question, was Yuan Ge's death really an accident?"

Zhuang Lichuan looked at Yuan Ge in surprise. "She fell off a cliff while picking herbs and got trapped in a snake cave. Of course it was an accident. Could it be that with her martial arts skills, she could be pushed off a cliff?"

His suspicion and surprise did not seem fake.

Yuan Ge kept thinking over and over what Jin Su had said. She no longer believed Jin Su, but she also didn't dare to believe Zhuang Lichuan... She stroked the wall of the teacup and asked again, "Besides the legendary resurrection secret technique, what else did Jin Su take away from the secret room?"

"No more." This time, Zhuang Lichuan was particularly sure, "She was only thinking about reviving Yuan Qi, and she didn't even look at anything else... If it weren't for this prescription that gave her a last bit of hope, I'm afraid Jin Su would have committed suicide for Yuan Qi on the spot. I used this matter to threaten her, and in exchange she told me how to open the mechanism... But this is the only deal between her and me, there is nothing else."

"You are talking nonsense."

Yuan Ge glanced at him, "Even if she really took the prescription from the secret room, as long as she denies it, what can you do to her? After all, except for the dead Yuan Ge and herself, who can prove what is in the secret room? Besides, the secret room belongs to Yuan Ge. Everyone in Zhixuan Mountain knows how close Yuan Ge and Jin Su were when Yuan Ge was alive. Even if she moved half of the secret room, you can't stop her. Second Elder, the relationship between you and Jin Su is cooperation, not a threat."

"You want Jinsu to infiltrate Shengjing City and do things for you, and Jinsu needs your identity as the second elder. Am I right?"

"No!" Zhuang Lichuan denied it flatly. "What kind of cooperation? Don't make such a fuss! Why do I want her to go to Shengjing City to do something for me? Don't I have anyone on my own? This is really ridiculous!"

"You have people, but you can't use your own people... In this way, once the truth comes out, you can completely clear yourself and Zhixuanshan from the smuggling of spices, right?" Yuan Ge slowly stood up with a teacup in his hand, walked to Zhuang Lichuan, lowered his eyes and looked at the other party's unusually pale face, "Second Elder... This is a deal that will never be redeemed!"
