Chapter 109 The Dark Emperor's Seduction of the Oiran (38)
There was a peaceful and joyful atmosphere in the Lili Mansion.
Show the corresponding token at the door and you will be welcomed inside.
Sitting down in the designated area, Quan Si looked around calmly.
In addition to the men around Zhou Zhongsheng, there were some new faces.
But their eyes were always glancing at him and Qin Ji, they must be spies.
This banquet must be a setup, it's just a cover, and there are actually many dangers behind it.
The two had already thought of a solution for this.
The night before yesterday, he sent a few guards to quietly leave and go to Shengjing to ask for more reinforcements to help.
All possible dangers that might occur at today's banquet have been taken into consideration, just like a chess game with each link interconnected.
What they have to do now is to take advantage of the situation.
Delay the time as much as possible and get some useful information.
If things go well, their people will be here in another hour.
At this time, Zhou Zhong came out from the inner room.
He dressed up specially today, looking like a handsome and elegant young man.
After a few pretentious speeches before the banquet began, he announced the official start of the dinner.
"Everyone here, enjoy your meals and drinks. Please forgive me if we are not entertaining you well."
After saying this, he walked towards Quan Si.
There were only him and Qin Ji at their table, and it was most likely a deliberate arrangement for the weekend.
"My lords, why don't you have a drink with me?" Zhou Zhong winked at the person next to him.
The man took out a pot of wine from somewhere. It looked exquisite, but the mouth of the pot was unusual.
Most wine jugs have one spout, but the one in front of you has two, facing in opposite directions.
Quan Si remained expressionless, but his hand under his long sleeves gently touched the corner of Qin Ji's clothes.
This is a secret code between the two of them, visible only to each other.
Meaning: Proceed with caution.
"Master Zhou," Quan Si smiled slightly, "Is this wine strong?"
"Master Quan, you are joking. This wine is plum wine that I have collected for many years. It is mellow and flavorful, not irritating."
But he added something to it.
Who can tell the difference when the colorless and odorless powder is dissolved in wine?
But...
It's not fatal, it just puts people in a coma for a period of time.
"Two hundred and fifty diamonds," Quan Si called out in his heart.
【Host, I am here. 】
'Exchange for two antidotes.'
[Consume 2000 points of Charisma, do you want to confirm the exchange? ]
'Yes. '
The next second, two small packets of powder appeared in the right hand hanging under the long sleeves.
It's just hidden by the sleeves so no one can see it.
While he was pouring the wine, there was a slight noise outside the door.
Zhou Zhong glanced over there and saw that it was just a wild cat trying to come in to look for food.
However, he didn't know that in just a short while, Quan Si had already passed the antidote in his hand to Qin Ji.
The servant who poured the wine used the left spout of the pot to pour a cup for Zhou Zhong, and used the right spout to pour for the two of them.
Zhou Zhong was the first to drink it all, "Then, please go ahead, both of you."
Quan Si glanced at Qin Ji, and the moment their eyes met, they understood each other tacitly.
The bag of powder in his hand was immediately crushed, and under the cover of the wide sleeves, there was no trace of any flaws.
He used his sleeve as a cover, raised his head and drank the wine, and at the same time, took it together with the antidote.
The next second, he frowned and pretended to faint.
Zhou Zhong's smile deepened, "Idiot."
He made a gesture and everyone who was still eating stopped.
"Tie them both up and put them in a cell alone."
"The blood of these two officials must be ten or a hundred times better than that of ordinary people."
"Yes!"
Zhou Zhong did not notice that the corners of Quan Si's mouth, who was originally unconscious, curled up slightly.
That was meant to be sarcastic.

Inside the cold iron cell, drops of water from the damp roof kept falling.
"Tick, tick--" a strange sound was made.
Accompanied by the wailing coming from other cells, people's hearts began to tremble.
Quan Si slightly lifted his eyelids, and after confirming that there were no guards, he opened his eyes completely.
Zhou Zhong would never have thought that they were unharmed.
Therefore, no one was sent to guard the two people's cells.
During the whole journey, both of them were awake and eavesdropped on other people's conversations.
Putting those people's words together, they roughly understood the purpose of Zhou Zhong.
The secret passage behind the ink painting in the study directly connects to this cold dungeon area.
It is said that human blood and river water were used to water the grave of the dead person named "Ye'er".
And today is the last day.
From what Zhou Zhong said, he wanted to massacre the entire Sensha Village and kill all the people!
I didn't expect that under the seemingly innocent appearance, there lived a madman comparable to the devil.
Quan Si estimated the time and thought that their people would arrive in twenty minutes at most.
"Did you know he would poison you?" Qin Ji, who was sitting next to him, lowered his voice, almost whispering in his ear.
The hot air was bursting out and Quan Si felt a little itchy at the tips of his ears.
He said "hmm" lightly.
"Everything is just as we discussed last night."
Things were going just as they expected.
If Zhou Zhong wants to take their blood, he will definitely cheat at the dinner party.
"However, there is one thing that really puzzles me." Qin Ji thought of the powder antidote that Quan Si had just given him.
Quan Si knew what he was going to ask, so he just made up an excuse, "It's a treasure I found on the black market."
“I didn’t expect it would come in handy.”
Qin Ji didn't ask any more questions when he saw this, but he didn't believe what he said.
His intuition told him that the person he loved might have some unknown secrets.
I knew that this was not going to work and I had to find a way to escape first.
Quan Si looked around carefully, but unfortunately there was nothing sharp.
His hands were tied behind his back, but he did not show any sign of panic. Instead, he was surprisingly calm.
Suddenly he thought of something and Quan Si's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty," Quan Si took the initiative to move closer to him, "Take the hairpin off my head."
Qin Ji lowered his eyes and looked at the person who was so close to him, and his heart began to beat like thunder in an instant.
There was a faint fragrance on Quan Si's body, like a gardenia in full bloom.
Fresh and pleasant.
He twitched the corners of his mouth but didn't say anything, only his Adam's apple rolled twice.
Quan Si glanced at him suspiciously, not understanding why he was swallowing.
[Host, you are greedy~]
As for what you are greedy for?
Of course, it's because of my body——
"Come closer." The emperor's voice was very hoarse.
My mouth is dry, as if I urgently need something to moisten it.
Seeing this, Quan Si moved a little closer to him, so that the two of them were almost completely stuck together.
Even through the clothes, you can clearly feel the touch of skin.
Qin Ji stretched his neck as far as he could, slightly opened his lips, and held the hairpin that shone with silver light.
