Chapter 173 Follow
"Ah?" Qin Zi'ang was quite puzzled, "What is the central air conditioner?"
"Central air conditioning is the secret method of my fairy world. With a central air conditioning, you can make the whole building warm as spring. As the saying goes, one is warm, and there is no difference."
Qin Zi'ang scratched his head, feeling vaguely that Zhang Luochen seemed to be teasing himself, but he could not find any evidence.
Zhang Luochen said again: "With me here, I will not let Xue Hongling suffer, but giving her some lessons will make her know that the world is dangerous."
Qin Zi'ang understood what Zhang Luochen meant, so the two followed the waiter to Xue Hongling's room. After Xue Hongling and the waiter left, they immediately bolted the door, then took out the silver needle and penetrated it into the bowl.
Zhang Luochen shook his head helplessly. The ancients thought that silver needles could detect poison. In fact, the poisons that silver needles could detect were limited to poisons containing sulfides, such as arsenic. However, if they were replaced with other poisons, they could not be discovered at all. Moreover, the sweating drug itself is not a poison, but an anesthetic.
Sure enough, Xue Hongling saw that the silver needle had not changed color, so she immediately started eating it. She thought that she was very hungry after rushing around the afternoon. After a while, she drank a bowl of hot noodles. But Xue Hongling also noticed something was wrong. First, she felt her arms were sore and numb, then her muscles were sore and weak, her eyelids were heavy, and her head was heavy on the table, and she was unconscious.
A sudden sound came from the bed in the room, with a clicking sound of the machine pulling. Then a bed board in the bed slowly sank. The shopkeeper looked at the head from inside and immediately greeted the waiter behind.
After the two came out, they lifted Xue Hongling up one after another, and carried her down the tunnel through the mechanism on the bunk bed.
Zhang Luochen couldn't help but shook his head secretly. If it weren't for the fact that they were staying here overnight tonight, Xue Hongling would have been in danger today. Such a hidden method would have been impossible to notice even if there were people in other guest rooms.
At that moment, Qin Zi'ang and others followed to prevent Xue Hongling from having an accident.
This tunnel is quite tall, and the two of them will not meet even when they look up. The traces of manual reinforcing can be seen on the walls. Moreover, looking at the reinforced wooden frame, the color is dark, and it seems that it has been a few years. I don’t know how many people are buried here.
The two carried Xue Hongling to a spacious place, with oil lamps inserted on the wall, illuminating a row of wooden frames by the wall. The first row of wooden frames were hung with many knives, including hooks, thorns, and bones. There were bags as big as oil jars on the bottom floor, but they didn't know what.
The waiter couldn't help but tear off the mustache on Xue Hongling's lips, rubbed the sallow on her face, and said with a smile: "It seems like she is a beauty." As he said that, he was about to take action.
The shopkeeper pulled over and said, "What's the point of being so anxious? What's the point of doing this like a dead fish? It's fun to wake up." As he said that, he took out a bottle of medicine in his hand and pulled out the plug, shaking it under Xue Hongling's nose.
After a moment, Xue Hongling woke up slowly. Looking at the situation in front of her, she suddenly realized after a few breaths. She exclaimed in surprise: "You...you." Unfortunately, her limbs were sore and could not exert force, but she could only look at the two people in front of her and smiled lewdly and got closer.
"Do you know who I am? I am the former captain of the Southern Zhou Kingdom. Don't come here, otherwise I will make you die a bad death!" Xue Hongling roared hard, and tried to pull her legs back.
But the space inside the cave was small and there was no way to retreat. Seeing the shopkeeper and the waiter come over with a smile, Xue Hongling's eyes were filled with tears in her eyes and her mouth kept saying, "Bold, you are bold, I must tell the National Master to know and poke you bones and ashes."
"Hehe, do you think we will give you a chance to tell others?" The waiter took off the bone-cutting knife from the shelf and weighed it in his hand, gestured to Xue Hongling, "It's you, I will remove you into 9981 pieces, feed the dogs, feed the pigs, and finally leave only one head, put it there."
As the waiter spoke, he pointed to the rows of cloth bags on the shelf. Only then did Zhang Luochen realize that they were actually heads.
Xue Hongling also saw what was on the shelf clearly. Thinking that her head was one of the displays soon after, she couldn't help but feel the last glimmer of hope in her heart. Although she had some martial arts skills, she was a woman from a noble family and had not suffered much, she couldn't help but cry.
Zhang Luochen was almost scared when he saw it, and he didn't talk nonsense. The thunder in his palm activated and slashed down the waiter's head.
A sudden lightning sounded in this small place. The shopkeeper was so scared that he screamed, jumped aside instinctively, and then looked back. The waiter's head was charred black, and a trace of white smoke was spit out of his mouth, but he couldn't live.
When Xue Hongling saw the lightning sound, she seemed to see a glimmer of dawn in the darkness, she immediately shouted excitedly: "National Master, is it you? National Master save me!"
Zhang Luochen didn't say anything nonsense, and another lightning flashed directly to knock the shopkeeper into a slag.
This sound alarmed Yang Baichuan. He wanted to go out to check, but he did not dare to forget his lord's instructions. He looked at the two on the bed, then looked outside the door, hesitating not to go out.
But suddenly he saw the two people on the bed moving suddenly. Qin Zi'ang stood up impatiently and said to Yang Baichu: "Brother Yang, come with me to save people."
Yang Baichuan did not dare to move rashly. When she saw Zhang Luochen sitting up from the bed, the three of them walked out.
He kicked open the door on the opposite side and came to the main mechanism of the tunnel. Although the mechanism was exquisite, it could not resist the bombardment of Zhang Luochen with a lightning light, and directly exploded the entrance and entered the tunnel.
Xue Hongling's body was still unable to control her body at this time, but the evil man was dead, but there was nothing to worry about. While wiping her tears, she pursed her hair and asked the air in a puzzled tone: "Master, is it you?"
She didn't know that Zhang Luochen and the others had already gone back because of their soul status. Suddenly, they heard a sound coming from behind, and then they finally saw Xin Xinniannian's national master, Qin Zi'ang, Yang Baichuan and others.
"National Master! Save me~" Tears that were not easy to wipe out were bursting out again, but after the disaster, I finally saw the tears of joy from my relatives.
Zhang Luochen asked Yang Baichuan to carry Xue Hongling out of the tunnel, and then found the antidote that had been smelled by Xue Hongling on the two of them. After smelling it for a while, her hands and feet finally recovered their strength.
Qin Zi'ang was pitying for the beauty and asked while helping her move her hands and feet, "Is there something wrong with Lizhou Prefecture when Captain Xue is here this time?"
Xue Hongling was in tears, and she secretly looked at Zhang Luochen with a serious face, and shook her head silently.
"Okay, have a good sleep, go back tomorrow." Zhang Luochen didn't know what she was thinking, and he didn't even point it out at the moment, and said deliberately coldly.
Xue Hongling was anxious and bowed down and said, "The national teacher Rong, Hongling came here this time to follow the national teacher. She asked the national teacher for the reply."
"You were ordered by the king to escort me to Lizhou, but now you have completed the task, why bother like this?"
When Xue Hongling heard this, she hurriedly confessed her feelings: "The king's order has been completed, but Hongling came here this time to fulfill her true intentions. As long as the national teacher agrees, from now on, Hongling will be responsible for the national teacher's work."
Zhang Luochen nodded in his heart. This is what he wanted. Since he was by his side, he had to follow him willingly. The most important thing was to be obedient. If it was for the king's order or had other ideas, it would definitely not work.
He said in a deep voice: "If you have to follow me, it's okay, but although I am nominally the National Master of Southern Zhou, the path I want to take is not the same as that of Southern Zhou King. I have my own mission. If you want to follow me, you need to be my subordinate, not the subordinate of Southern Zhou King. Do you understand?"
Xue Hongling was stunned when she heard this. However, she didn't expect Zhang Luochen to speak so bluntly. A hint of confusion appeared on her face. After a long time, her eyes became firmer again. "Although Hongling is a woman, she doesn't want to spend her whole life, follow the national teacher, just to help the national teacher make achievements. Hongling can never see the sky of the Southern Zhou Kingdom in this life."
Xue Hongling was just the case. Maybe she had other thoughts before, but in comparison, she hoped to prove herself that before meeting Zhang Luochen, although she had a good status in the capital, she only did her work as a vase every day.
