Peerless Young Master
Chapter 114 Getting the Antidote
After confirming the whereabouts of the antidote, Li Xuan began to think about how to get it without making any noise.
Even though the two people from the Shenlong Sect were of average strength and couldn't even defeat Bai Yi Piao Luo, if they died here, there was no guarantee that the Shenlong Sect wouldn't be able to find something delicious to eat before coming back.
By then, there will be a catastrophe.
Therefore, Li Xuan urgently needed to think of a way to get the small round pot on the other party's waist without alerting the Shenlong Sect members, detoxify the poison in his body, and then return it.
Ever since the two men tasted his cooking, they came back almost every night, enjoying a table full of delicious food and a pot of wine, and they were always very satisfied.
Li Xuan didn't dare to speak at first, fearing that the two would become suspicious.
But he could also see that these two people were obviously from a poor family and had never eaten anything good.
After all, the Shenlong Cult is an anti-religion. No decent person would be willing to join it. They only rebel because they can't make it.
For this purpose, he specially went out and bought a lot of expensive dishes, hoping that after the two of them had eaten them, they would become addicted to the taste and keep coming back.
It was not until the third time that Li Xuan dared to speak, with a bitter face: "My lords, our shop has little profit, and I have spent a lot of money to serve you these days.
Some time ago, two more adults came to pay twenty taels of membership fee, and they have to pay another twenty taels next month. Now I really have no money in my pocket.
I also ask the two gentlemen to give me some money in consideration of my careful care these days."
"Who told you that you have to pay twenty taels next month?" Passerby A was astonished.
"Last time, two adults came and said they wanted to pay 20 taels of membership fee. They also said they would come again next month and asked us to prepare the money," Li Xuan explained.
Hearing this, the two laughed.
Passerby B said, "You misunderstood. Twenty taels is indeed the membership fee, but it is a one-time payment. Next month, each person will pay between one diao and three taels of silver, depending on their circumstances.
Considering your business, you should get at least two taels."
"That's good. I was so scared. Even if I worked my ass off, I couldn't make twenty taels of silver in a month. If it were only two taels, it would be easy." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, you've been behaving honestly these days. I'll go back and talk to my brothers about it, and I'll give you one or two taels of silver," said Passerby A proudly. He didn't want to never be able to eat such delicious food again.
"Thank you very much, my lords. I may not have anything else, but I have good cooking skills. Tomorrow night, I will prepare a table full of delicious food to satisfy you, my lords," Li Xuan expressed his gratitude.
"You kid is on the right track"
The two of them smiled, then left contentedly and came back for more delicious food.
After the two of them walked away, Li Xuan cleaned up the dishes, closed the door, blew out the candles, and returned to the room.
Xiao Xuan immediately stepped forward and looked him up and down. Seeing that everything was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief: "They're gone."
"Um"
"They keep coming, which is not a big deal. Although they haven't done anything bad, I still feel uneasy," Xiao Xuan frowned.
"It's okay. If they come again, you stay in the room and I'll entertain them."
A moment later, the two of them were lying on the bed.
Xiao Xuan leaned in Li Xuan's arms, her eyes flickering, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she said, "Do you have any plans?"
Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment's pause he spoke: "I suspect that the small round pot on that person's waist contains something that can control the poison in our bodies."
"You want to attack them?" Xiao Xuan paused, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he raised his head: "This is too dangerous. If they find out, you will be in danger."
Li Xuan consoled him, "I've observed them carefully these past few days. They're just ordinary people. They probably can't even read a few characters. They're not that cunning.
Moreover, I have been taking good care of them these days to let them relax their vigilance against me; after a couple of days, I will put drugs in their food and drinks to make them unconscious.
If the small round pot really contains the antidote, then we can regain our freedom. If not, we can just put it back."
"But...what if..." Xiao Xuan was still worried, what if she was discovered?
"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents. I will let your father monitor them in secret. If they really find out, with your father's ability, he can kill them instantly.
We'll get the antidote and leave here when the time comes." Li Xuan has already made preparations for both scenarios.
"Then you must be careful"
…………
In a flash, two days passed.
Tonight, Li Xuan will decide to take action.
For this purpose, he specially asked Bai Yi Piao Luo to buy two pots of good wine and asked Xiao Xuan to buy some knockout drugs.
In order to prevent the medicinal properties from being insufficient to have any effect on the followers of the Dragon Sect, he specially purified it. Only a tiny bit was needed, and even Bai Yi Piao Luo could not withstand it.
After dark, he asked the two to hide in the kitchen for support, and asked Xiao Yidao to remain hidden.
Fortunately, Youmeng was not at home, otherwise she would have had to knock the other person out.
Sure enough, after dark, Passerby A and Passerby B appeared at Haochi Zailai again.
"My lords, I specially made this five-spice chicken this time. It's very delicious. I also bought two pots of good wine. This wine is quite strong. My lords, please drink less," said Li Xuan.
"It's just a pot of wine, but we two brothers can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
"That's right, go ahead, we want to see what kind of wine it is and how strong it is."
After a while, the two of them were feasting on the wine: "Ahem, hiss, good wine, strong enough"
"Brother, I toast you a glass."
"Ahem, this wine is really strong."
"Brother, you are not going to be able to do it, are you?"
"Bullshit, I'm still strong, this little bit of wine is nothing, come on, let's go"
In this way, they drank up the whole pot of wine, and the two of them fell on the table and fell asleep.
"My Lord, my Lord, both of you."
Li Xuan first stood still and shouted a few words. Seeing that the other party did not respond, he tiptoed over and gently pushed their shoulders.
Seeing that the two of them didn't respond again, I was sure that they were completely asleep.
"Come out, they've passed out"
As soon as the words fell, three figures walked out.
Li Xuan took the small round pot and did not open it. Instead, he looked through the gap outside and saw a small black and brown insect inside.
"Let me see." Bai Yi Piaoluo was very curious.
He took the small round pot, looked at it left and right, and saw nothing special about it, so he shook it twice.
Buzz!
As an extremely faint chirping sound was heard, Li Xuan and Xiao Xuan suddenly felt pain. The heart-wrenching pain was as if their skin was being burned by fire.
"Don't move"
Li Xuan snatched it away and placed the small round pot on the table. After a while, the pain in his body disappeared.
"Senior Xiao, this thing must be something that controls the poison in our bodies. Take another look at our bodies and see if you can see anything abnormal."
"Okay, I'll try." Xiao Yidao's eyes darkened, he took Li Xuan's pulse, and his internal force turned into gossamer, flowing through his limbs and bones.
"I detected that there seems to be something wriggling inside your body, but it's strange, this thing seems to be able to devour my internal energy." Xiao Yidao's face was extremely solemn.
A moment later, Li Xuan and Xiao Xuan both spat out a mouthful of black blood, with a very small worm coming out of the blood, still hissing and wriggling.
"Senior, it's my turn." The man in white stretched out his hand, eager to force out the disgusting thing.
Li Xuan squatted down and looked at the two living creatures on the ground. This thing should be a poisonous insect. The one inside the small round pot must be the mother insect, used to control the offspring.
"Hey, this thing is so disgusting." Xiao Xuan looked disgusted. When she thought about having such a disgusting thing in her body, she wanted to kill herself.
"Don't"
Li Xuan stopped him: "If this thing dies, the Shenlong Cult will definitely know that we have secretly released the Gu worm from our bodies, and then someone will come to deal with us."
"You mean we can't just kill it, we have to keep it alive."
"That's right"
Li Xuan nodded, then asked Xiao Xuan to catch two fish from the kitchen tank and stuff the insects into the fish's stomachs.
He tapped the small round pot gently, and within seconds the two fish began to jump around as if they were lying in a frying pan.
After making sure that the poisonous insect was not dead, Li Xuan put the two fish back into the water tank and hung the small round pot around Passerby A's waist again.
"Senior, are you done?" The man in white urged.
Xiao Yidao frowned: "Strange, there is nothing abnormal in your body."
"No way, I drank that water too."
"Senior, please take a closer look. It might be hiding deep inside, so it's normal that we can't find it for a while."
Hearing this, Xiao Yidao felt that it made sense, and he investigated again. After a while, he let go of his hand, looked at Bai Yi Piaoluo's expectant eyes, and guessed:
"Is it possible that you are not poisoned?"
"It's impossible that he's not poisoned." Bai Yi Piaoluo was at a loss.
Li Xuan was also surprised: "The three of us drank the water that the dragon taught us that day, and we were all poisoned. It is impossible that he was not poisoned."
"But I really didn't sense it. It's impossible that you have it and he doesn't." Xiao Yidao was also confused.
Li Xuan stared at the man in white clothes for a long time, his head buzzing. He was sure that the other party had drunk poisonous water, but why was he not poisoned?
He thought for a long time, bent down and gently patted the small round pot, then stared at the white clothes falling.
After watching for a long time, the latter did not react at all.
Good guy, he wasn’t poisoned at all.
He gave Xiao Xuan a look, and the latter understood and blocked the road behind him with the white clothes floating behind him.
"You... suspect me." Bai Yi Piaoluo didn't know what had happened, but looking at the two of them, it seemed that something bad was going to happen.
"We all drank the poisonous water, but you were not poisoned. Just now, when I slapped the queen insect, you didn't react at all. This further proves that you were not poisoned at all." Li Xuan's face was gloomy. He didn't expect that the undercover agent was actually next to him.
"Okay, I didn't expect you to be a spy." Xiao Xuan was also angry.
"Impossible, there must be something wrong, I'm really not a spy" Bai Yi Piao Luo panicked.
"Tell me, who are you?" Li Xuan's eyes flashed with coldness.
Bai Yi Piaoluo was almost crying: "I'm really not a spy. I am just me, who else could I be?"
"Don't tell me, I want to see how tough your bones are." As he said that, Li Xuan rushed forward and beat him violently.
"what"
"Stop fighting!"
"Stop fighting!"
"help"
The man in white clothes curled up and wailed, holding his head.
"That's not right. This guy's bones shouldn't be that hard." Li Xuan rubbed his wrist, a little doubtful.
"No matter whether he is right or not, why not just kill him? He is not a good person anyway." Xiao Yidao already had the intention to kill.
"My dear, I'm really not a spy. Please don't kill me. I beg you, I'm a really good person." Bai Yi Piaoluo was so scared that he crawled over and hugged Li Xuan's thigh and wailed.
"Let's tie him up first. If he's really a spy, acting rashly will only put us in danger."
Li Xuan asked Xiao Xuan to tie up Bai Yi Piaoluo, lock him in the room, and let Xiao Yidao watch him.
He stayed in the front hall, carefully checking the floor, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no problem.
He patted the two men's shoulders with a little force: "Sirs, two sirs, wake up."
"Well, is it dawn yet?"
"My head hurts, what happened?"
The two opened their sleepy eyes and shook their heads.
"Sir, you are drunk. It's almost midnight," Li Xuan said in a low voice.
The two of them lay on the table for a while, and then Passerby A exclaimed: "What, it's the hour of midnight."
He didn't know what he remembered, but his mind suddenly became clear. He reached out and touched his waist, and found that the small round pot was still there. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, how about I clean up a guest room so you can rest first?" Li Xuan asked tentatively.
"No, we have things to do when we get back."
"Don't sleep, it's time to go back."
Passerby A slapped Passerby B on the head, and the two walked out the door in a daze.
"Walk slowly"
After seeing the two men off, Li Xuan closed the door. When he was about to bolt it, he faintly heard a knock on the door and thought the two men had returned.
When I opened the door, I saw no one there. I looked down and found someone lying on the ground, tapping on the door with his fingers.
"Lu Qiu"
Li Xuan squatted down and saw the other person's face clearly in the dark. He was shocked.
