Chapter 1966 That’s Poison



Chapter 1966 That’s Poison

The silver ingot was leaning against the mottled side of the ship. There were several torches on the bow. The dim light of the torches reflected the rolling water splashing across the side of the ship.

Yinding was not seasick, but for some reason, as soon as he arrived in Rongzhou, he felt nauseous when he saw the water.

Just at this moment, the leader came over with a small cloth bag in his hand.

"Come here." The leader took out a few pills from a small cloth bag.

In the firelight, one could clearly see that they were shiny black water balls with a strange oily sheen on the surface, and a faint strange smell of musk mixed with rust.

Yinding took one look at the pill and became a little wary.

Someone has already come up to ask: "What is this?"

"It's very humid when sailing at night. This pill can cure seasickness and even eliminate the miasma on the water." The leader glanced at everyone with his triangular eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Everyone must take it. I won't be responsible if anything happens."

Upon hearing this, several people took the medicine and swallowed it.

Wu Liang and Yin Ding looked at each other, but neither of them moved.

There were eight gangsters on the boat who were responsible for escorting the ship.

Yinding glanced at the crowd and found that those who came to get the medicine were all people from the underworld, and there were no yamen runners.

This made him feel even more that something was wrong.

While they were thinking, it was already their turn.

The leader looked over here - it looked like he had to lead.

Yinding walked over with a smile, and when he took the pill with his fingertips, he observed the leader calmly. The leader's eyes were passing over the people who had received the medicine.

"This medicine..." Han Peng was about to speak when Chen Ling pulled his sleeve.

Yinding suddenly smiled, the corners of his mouth raised: "Thank you for your trouble."

He tilted his head back and put the pill into his mouth, and Wu Liang swallowed it without hesitation.

When Han Peng and Chen Ling saw the silver ingot being eaten, they looked at each other and swallowed it too.

The leader then put away the cloth bag with satisfaction, turned around and left. Until the footsteps disappeared around the corner of the cabin, Yinding quietly turned sideways, pretended to cough, and spit the medicine residue under his tongue into the handkerchief, which he then stuffed into his sleeve pocket.

Yinding took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, and when he opened it, there were two gray-brown pills inside, with a faint herbal fragrance.

He handed the medicine to Han Peng and Chen Ling: "Take this."

Han Peng and Chen Ling were a little surprised, but looking at Yin Ding's eyes, they swallowed the pill without saying a word.

That was the medicine that Yan Ruyu gave her to cure all poisons. Yin Ding and Wu Liang had already taken it.

After spending the past few days together, Yinding felt that Han Peng and Chen Ling were pretty good. Since the situation tonight was unclear, it would be nice to have two helpers.

As the night deepened, Yinding stood firm on the side of the boat, watching the white waves on the water. He observed his surroundings in the faint light. There were bare black mud banks on both sides, without even a reed. Only the rushing water carrying mud and sand rushed past.

"Strange." Yin Ding muttered to himself, "The current is too fast, it doesn't seem like a normal waterway."

He resisted the urge to vomit, tightly gripped the dagger at his waist, and watched vigilantly for any movement in the darkness.

Wu Liang walked over to the silver ingot and asked in a low voice, "Do you think the medicine is wrong?"

Yin Ding nodded: "Just in case, safety comes first."

Wu Liang nodded, his eyes swept forward, pointing to the distance: "Look over there."

Following the direction of his finger, a vague outline could be seen in the darkness, glowing with a bluish-gray light under the moonlight.

The water was unusually calm, forming a strange contrast with the rapids they were in. Looking closely, they saw that it was actually a dense reed marsh.

"Reed?" Yinding immediately became alert. "Be careful, there might be an ambush."

He had barely finished his words when a flock of water birds suddenly started up from the reeds in the distance. The sound of their flapping wings was particularly harsh in the night sky.

Yinding's expression changed slightly.

In the darkness, a few faint flames flashed among the reeds, and then went out.

Yinding immediately realized that the ambushes were confirming their position. He lowered his body and said to Wu Liang and the other two, "When the boat rushes into the reed marsh, if there is an ambush, don't rush to act. Let's ensure our own safety first."

Wu Liang and the other two nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Okay, we'll listen to you."

Yinding's gaze once again turned to the reed marsh that was getting closer and closer.

Sure enough, wisps of miasma rose from the water surface.

The dark shadows swaying vaguely among the reeds became even more blurred.

He counted the frequency of the vibrations on the ship's planks and estimated the distance.

Getting closer, the boat finally entered the reed marsh, but there was no sound of hand-to-hand combat as expected.

The boat shook and someone jumped onto it.

Yinding remained calm, slowly approached, adjusted the angle, and looked to see who was on the boat.

The man was wearing a black cloak that covered his head and face.

The leader came forward and was whispering something to him.

Yinding had an excellent hearing ability. Through the sound of water and wind, he could vaguely hear words like "the food has arrived", "enough pounds", and "follow closely".

Yinding's heart moved, and he guessed that they were going to change the route.

They traveled at night and changed their route halfway. No wonder no one knew where the food was being delivered.

It seems that he and Wu Liang made the right decision to enter the interior this time.

Perhaps he had been standing there for too long, and the man in the black cloak seemed to sense something and turned to look at him.

Although his head and face were covered, Yinding could still feel his unfriendly gaze.

Yinding secretly thought that something was wrong and he was too careless.

At the same time, I also feel that this person should be quite skilled and a master.

Only masters can be so sharp.

However, Yinding was no novice. He turned around, lay down on the side of the boat, and started vomiting.

I was holding it in all along, but now I can't hold it in any longer.

The man in the black cloak was about to come over here, but stopped when he saw this.

Yinding glanced at the shadow in the black cloak from the corner of his eye.

Although he stopped, he did not give up and still wanted to come here.

The leader stepped forward and whispered something. The man in the black cloak nodded and turned to leave.

What did you say? Yinding narrowed his eyes slightly.

Think of that pill.

Now it is certain that it is not a medicine for seasickness or miasma, but poison.

Because they will die here sooner or later, so there is no need to worry about any secrets being leaked, and the Black Cloak will let him go.

Yin Ding sneered secretly - if you dare to poison your Grandpa Yin, just wait for me!

……

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe followed the black shadow and arrived at Su Zhenhai's study yard.

What a coincidence.

Yan Ruyu looked at the dark shadow lurking in the darkness and smiled.

She pointed and a pill flew out, hitting the yard directly and exploding with a bang.

The shadow was startled.

Now there is no need to hide, even Su Zhenhai in the house was alarmed.

Su Zhenhai was already uneasy. There had been unrest in the mansion in the past two days. There had just been an assassin yesterday, and he also learned that his son had been fed raw fish. He felt very upset.

Less than half an hour after he sat down, he heard something explode outside and a puff of white smoke.

As soon as he came out, he saw a black shadow trying to leave. Su Zhenhai immediately felt that this was the assassin from last night.

I suddenly became furious.

"stop!"

Su Zhenhai jumped up with his sword and chased the black shadow.

Yan Ruyu made a gesture to Huo Changhe, and the two of them had a very good understanding. Huo Changhe helped Su Zhenhai outside and held him back, while Yan Ruyu went into the study to find what she wanted.

I was originally thinking about how to lure Su Zhenhai out, but now the black shadow helped.

Yan Ruyu was in a good mood and climbed into the study through the back window.
