Chapter 54: Catch it all in one place

The man from Youying wanted Huang Donglai to live, so he could not give him a medicine to death.

There are four people drinking tea at the same table, and they have to use a pot of tea to make one live and three die... This kind of poisoning technique may be available in the Huangmen, but as for the Weiying, even Gu Qiying himself cannot do it.

Therefore, what the tea shop kitchen gave to Huang Donglai and the others was "live medicine", not "dead medicine".

Of course, they also understand that it is not easy to use medicine to cure these people.

Not to mention the young master of Huang Donglai, who is the top-notch martial arts family, even Ran Ling is not that easy to deceive.

Therefore, the people of Youying used them a very advanced secret medicine - "Chaolu".

As the name suggests, this poison is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and looks like morning dew. Just add a few drops to a pot of tea to make the person who drinks the tea have symptoms of "disordered balance" within a certain period of time.

So what exactly will this symptom cause?

In fact, it would be fine if you close your eyes and lie down without moving.

But if you want to move...even if you just want to keep standing with your eyes open, you will feel dizzy and fall to the ground quickly.

To describe it, a person who is infected with this kind of poison is like his brain experiencing a roller coaster at a high intensity, but his body has not kept up.

Moreover, there is no antidote for this "Chaolu", because its effect will fade away by itself after half an hour. You just need to survive this half an hour; however, within this half an hour of poisoning, the poisoned person will inevitably become a waste that cannot stand firmly.

Of course, theoretically speaking, if your martial arts are so high that "just lying on the ground and making random moves can make others unable to get close to you", and your physical strength and internal strength are enough for you to toss like this for more than half an hour... Then you are really not afraid of this poison.

Unfortunately, Huang Donglai and the other four are not as powerful as that.

Therefore, after the four of them drank tea for a while, Sun Yixie fell down the first place.

"Not good!" Brother Sun's sense of balance was messy, but his intelligence was not messy. He shouted out the moment he fell to the ground, "There is poison in the tea!"

When he shouted, Huang Donglai, Lei Buji and Ran Ling stood up as if they were furious.

Unexpectedly, it would be fine if you didn't stand, just stop... the toxicity on the three people also accelerated, making them feel dizzy.

In a blink of an eye, all four of them staggered to the ground, and they couldn't even get up with their bodies.

The tea shops around were also stunned and thought to themselves, thinking what was going on? Is there any revenge in the world in broad daylight?

Before they could react, the guys in the tea shop rushed out of the kitchen, and they all took weapons...

These tea shop people... or these Youying people actually understood when they were drugged that the tea shop was still open today; but they didn't care about this, because if they could catch Huang Donglai and take a Jinyiwei Ran Ling, it would be no problem to lose such a stronghold.

So, as soon as the four people at the table fell to the ground, the members of these shadows took action quickly.

They didn't even have to take the initiative to disperse the masses themselves - the people of the Dazhong Dynasty were too familiar with these things in the world. As the "canglang" steel knife was out of the sheath, all the people drinking tea around ran away, and none of them left behind tea money...

Qu Xin, who was sitting behind the counter, also moved at this time. Seeing that the irrelevant people had run out, he raised his hand and pulled a mechanism hidden under the counter.

As soon as the mechanism moved, a thick curtain fell from the door of the tea shop, blocking the inside and outside the store. In just a moment, it became a situation where the outside could not be seen inside and inside.

At the same time, more than a dozen swords had already hit the bodies of the four people on the ground.

The people of Youying don’t need to say “don’t move” at all, because the four people can feel this message with their bodies.

"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. You can tie them up quickly, block them, walk through the back door, and take them back to the 'nest' if you have anything to do." Qu Xin had already thought about how to act after capturing the four people alive, so he immediately issued this order.

A few minutes later, the pedestrians on the street outside the front door of the tea shop were still pointing at the cloth curtain. At the back door, Huang Donglai and the other four had been tied up and carried away in sacks.

When the news came to the yamen, the yamen sent people to open the curtain, the tea shop was already empty.

…………

When the sack on Huang Donglai's head and rags on his mouth were removed, the medicinal properties of the "Chaolu" were almost gone.

Seeing the light again, he immediately looked around and found that he was in a thatched hut at the moment; Sun Yixie, Lei Buji and Ran Ling were also not far away from him, and the three of them were obviously just picked up sacks.

Although the four of them have recovered their sense of balance now, they dare not act rashly.

First, their hands, feet and torso were still tightly tied up with ropes. Even Ran Ling, who had the deepest internal strength among the four, could not break the ropes on his body directly with internal strength, and the other three were not mentioned.

Secondly, behind them was a shadow member holding a weapon, ready to deal with their abnormal movements at any time; that is to say, even if one of them could break the rope, he would probably be taken down with one knife before he could complete the action.

Third, based on the time I just moved here, it is probably outside the city, and according to what the shopkeeper said, this place is probably the "home nest" of this group of people... Who knows how many enemies there are outside this thatched hut? Even if they can handle these people in the house, they may not be able to escape from this place alive.

"Young Master Huang, Young Master Sun, Young Master Lei..." After the four people's heads were picked, Qu Xin, who was sitting on a stool a few meters away, also spoke, "You three, let me wait..." He said, and glanced at Ran Ling again, "If General Ran hadn't suddenly come out to disrupt the situation, I would have brought you here last night, haha... But, it's a blessing to have this man lost his horse. Who would have thought that... you would actually come to your door by yourself today. God is really aware of it."

Before he finished speaking, Ran Ling said angrily: "Bah! You shadow thieves, Ran, was careless in your hands... It's really a blind eye!" He said this, turned his head to look at the three young men around him, "It's a pity... I've been implicated in these three young men and I were arrested together." He shook his head again and glared at Qu Xin, "If you have the ability, please let me go, I will do everything to you alone!"

"Oh?" Qu Xin thought about it for a while, and was neither angry nor took the other person's fault. Instead, he asked, "Master Ran... I have never said who we are until now. Why are you so sure...we are Youying's people?"

Ran Ling's attitude has not changed, but he is still very bad: "Nonsense! You have already admitted that you were the ones who sneaked into the three young heroes in the inn last night. Ran has been chasing Youying for many years. Will I not be able to recognize the martial arts methods used by your Youying's killers?"

"Well..." Qu Xin nodded, "So that's it." After saying that, he paused for a moment thoughtfully, and then said, "However, General Ran Qi is very skilled in martial arts. I'm afraid that if you unlock you, we will be a little unable to deal with it... we can only apologize to you for a moment."

"Hmph..." Ran Ling snorted coldly and cursed in a contemptuous tone, "Rat..."

Qu Xin no longer paid attention to him, but looked at Huang Donglai again and said, "Young Master Huang, since you now know that we are Youying's people, then I don't need to say more about the purpose of my arrest for your return, right?"

Huang Donglai also sneered: "Ha... don't you just want to get Gu Qiying's notes from me?" He was calm, "Then I might as well tell you, I am a person... I'm not a tough person. If you want to talk, you can talk, but first of all, you have to ensure the safety of me and my friends."

"That's natural..." Qu Xin started to respond before he started to start.

Ran Ling on the other side interrupted him excitedly again: "Young Master Huang, you must not! If the content of Gu Qiying's notes falls into their hands, it will cause endless harm in the future. My Ran Ling's life is nothing..."

"Stop!" Qu Xin interrupted him before he could finish speaking, "You are a prisoner, and you have a knife on your neck. How dare you speak out here?"

Seeing that Qu Xin was about to attack Ran Ling, unexpectedly... At this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting and noise coming from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a shadow killer pushed the door and broke in and reported to Qu Xin: "The boss, the big thing is not good, we are surrounded by the Jinyiwei!"

"What?" Qu Xin stood up nervously when he heard this, "This...why..."

"It's worthy of being my brother, I came so fast..." At this moment, Ran Ling finally put away the reckless man's face, changed into a calm attitude, and said to Qu Xin: "Do you really think that I, Ran Ling, are so easy to plot?"

"It's you..." Qu Xin realized something later, and he immediately frowned and glared at Ran Ling.

"No," Ran Ling replied, "It was my plan." He smiled, "Before I took the three young heroes away from the garrison today, I had already arranged for a few subordinates to change into casual clothes like me and stared at us in the dark; and I also told them that if you see something, don't rush to do it, wait and see first... Ha... I didn't expect that such a simple 'backhand' would unexpectedly make us find your nest." He seemed to be unable to help but laughed twice, "Haha... You said just now, it seems that it's true that God has eyes!"

Qu Xin listened to his words and his face changed color.

At this time, a killer standing behind the four people said, "The head of the family, take them as hostages, and we still have a chance to fight out..."

"It's useless..." Qu Xin said in a deep voice, "I know the style of the Jinyiwei best... If necessary, they can sacrifice any of them."

"Then... do we have to surrender?" the killer said again.

"Snatch it and you can save your life for the time being and make trouble." Qu Xin said, and sat down again, looking like he accepted his fate, "but rushing out... there is only a dead end."

Almost at the moment when he finished speaking, a roar rang out of the house very close to him: "Listen to the people in the house, you are already surrounded!"
