You Can Do It!
Ji Yunshu wasn't stupid enough to give him the antidote just like that!
His shrewd eyes looked up and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He said, "I can give you the antidote, but I don't believe that if I give you the antidote, you won't come back to the inn to cause trouble in the future. The innkeeper has old and young people to take care of. If you want to vent your anger and take it out on his family, wouldn't that be a double loss?"
Zhao Qing resisted the unbearable itch all over his body. His face was filled with anger and ruthlessness. "I, Zhao Qing, never go back on my word."
He patted his chest.
Ji Yunshu no longer doubted him. "Fine."
She took out a small bottle from her waist and handed it to Zhao Qing. "Just put it on your nose and smell it."
Zhao Qing snatched the bottle and sniffed it first. Then, he threw it to Ba Hu and passed it to the bandits.
Soon, the bandits stopped itching after sniffing it. The medicine's effect was very fast. The rashes that had just appeared immediately disappeared, and everyone was full of energy.
Among the crowd, someone shouted angrily, "Big Brother, kill these people!"
"Yes!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "
…
The bandits were all fired up. Their eyes were bloodshot with killing intent. They raised their broadswords, waiting for Zhao Qing to give the order.
Ba Hu hurried over to Zhao Qing's side. "Big Brother, these people are courting death. As long as you give the order, we will kill them."
The next moment …
Zhao Qing smiled and stared straight at Ji Yunshu.
Then, he pulled out a knife from Ba Hu's waist and stabbed at Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu didn't dodge. When the saber was about to stab her, Jing Rong took two steps forward and pulled her behind him with one hand. At the same time, he used his other hand to pull out Lang Po's sword that was previously sheathed.
One knife and one sword!
They collided in the air.
Sparks seemed to fly in all directions.
The two men confronted each other. Their cold eyes met each other's. They were equally matched.
Jing Rong said, "If you dare touch her, I will kill you."
As he spoke, he increased the strength of his hands!
His originally cold eyes were now filled with rage and killing intent.
As long as he harmed Ji Yunshu, he would absolutely not give in.
Zhao Qing's palms were obviously not strong enough, and his feet were forced to move backwards.
This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful character. His originally frowning eyebrows became more strained.
Might as well —
Zhao Qing flipped his wrist to the left, disengaging the opposing force. His sword and knife were no longer in a hostile state.
He glanced at the little scholar behind Jing Rong and said with disdain, "She's just a little scholar, yet there are people willing to risk their lives for her."
He replied, "Yes, if you hurt her even a little bit, this inn will be your burial ground today."
Zhao Qing suddenly burst out laughing, "You're an expert indeed. Even your words are tough. No wonder Zhao Huai's useless subordinates were all killed by you."
"If you don't want to end up like them, then quickly leave with your men."
"Fine, I will leave with my men. I, Zhao Qing, am a man of my words. If I say I won't come here again, I won't."
When Ba Hu heard this, he quickly said, "Big Brother, are we really leaving like this? We- "
Slap!
Zhao Qing smacked Ba Hu's head with the back of his hand.
He then ordered his men, "All of you, listen up. From now on, if anyone dares to cause trouble at this inn, I will skin them alive and throw them into the mountains to feed the wild dogs."
Of course, they did not want to agree, but they complained that their big brother had compromised. Yet, they still had to admit defeat.
"Yes!"
Their voices were soft and powerless.
Zhao Qing turned around and picked up a jar of wine from the table. He poured two cups of wine and walked towards Ji Yunshu.
He shoved a cup of wine at her, "This young master is really powerful. You must not be an ordinary person. If you don't mind, let's be friends. What do you think?"
'Be friends with bandits?'
Ji Yunshu thought to herself.
This Zhao Qing was a bandit leader. Whether it was his appearance or behavior, he was a perfect example. However, she had to admit that he exuded a manly aura of righteousness and carefreeness. It was completely different from someone who killed without batting an eye.
She looked at the wine in her hand and pursed her lips.
'Big Sister doesn't know how to drink!'
Thereupon –
She held the bowl of wine in her hand. She did not know whether to pour or drink.
Instead, Zhao Qing raised his cup and said, "I'll drink. You can do as you please."
He finished the wine in one gulp.
Just as Ji Yunshu was hesitating, Jing Rong took the bowl from her hand and drained it in one gulp.
Then, he threw the bowl on the table.
Zhao Qing looked at it and smiled. "Good. Today, no discord, no concord. Tonight's matter will be in the past." He waved his hand and ordered his men, "Let's go!"
Zhao Qing walked around Jing Rong, ready to leave. However, when he reached Ji Yunshu's side, he stopped and leaned forward to whisper into her ear.
"Little scholar, if we have the chance to meet again in the future, we must have a drink or two."
Finished speaking, he left with his men.
Before leaving, some of the bandits overturned the tables and chairs in the inn out of unwillingness. They even smashed several jars of wine.
Loud crashing sounds rang out.
The first floor of the inn was a mess.
After the bandits left, Jing Rong pulled Ji Yunshu's hand and asked, "Didn't I tell you to stay in your room?"
Ji Yunshu raised her eyes and met his gaze. She refuted, "What do you mean? You want me to rest peacefully in my room while you slaughter them below?"
"Who told you that I would slaughter them?"
"You won't kill them, will you?"
'I will!
I will! '
After all, those people were bandits.
Jing Rong's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. Finally, he let go of Ji Yunshu's hand.
At this time, the innkeeper came up from behind. He bowed to Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu with reddened eyes.
"Thank you, young masters. I thank you on behalf of my family."
As he spoke, he almost knelt down.
However, Jing Rong grabbed his elbow. "This isn't the capital."
'Huh?'
The innkeeper didn't understand, but he still held back his tears and sobbed. He bowed a few times.
Then, he walked to Ji Yunshu and said with concern, "Young master, I don't know if those people will come again. How about you tell me the antidote, in case …"
"There is no antidote," Ji Yunshu said.
"There is no antidote? Then what kind of poison? "
