"Why did you eavesdrop on us?" Mo Xiaoya was furious. She had never seen such a shameless person. How could he be so self-righteous even when eavesdropping!
"Oh." Lü Shu thought about it and said, "I suspect that there's a mole among you, so I came to eavesdrop and see if I can find this mole."
Sun Zhongyang's expression changed instantly. He said in a low voice, "Do you understand what you're saying? How can you slander our friendship of more than 20 years like this? "
"I'm just suspecting." Lü Shu chuckled.
"Please leave us. We don't need you to doubt our friendship," Sun Zhongyang said coldly.
"Alright, you guys continue." Lü Shu waved his hand and left with Xiaoyu. Xu Mujun followed behind unhurriedly.
He couldn't be bothered to reason with Sun Zhongyang. The results were the most important. It didn't matter if Sun Zhongyang and the others believed him or not.
Sun Zhongyang and the others had a headache. They suddenly realized that now was not the time to settle the score with Lü Shu. They hadn't even settled the matter of the youth eavesdropping. How could they let him go? Mo Xiaoya was even angrier now.
Mo Xiaoya got even angrier. "Sun Zhongyang, why did you let him go!"
Sun Zhongyang thought for a long time and felt that he was being blamed for no reason. "I … I was angry that he doubted our friendship …"
"Negative emotion points from Sun Zhongyang, + 666!"
"Negative emotion points from Mo Xiaoya, + 666!"
"Negative emotion points from …"
Everyone had a headache. They really couldn't do anything to this youth called Lü. It would be fine if he wasn't injured, but now that he was injured, they couldn't even beat him …
Now, Sun Zhongyang didn't even know if what Lü Shu said was true: there was a mole in the team.
This was a very disgusting thing. Sun Zhongyang believed that with their friendship of more than 20 years, they would definitely not do such a despicable thing, but … what if?
However, this time, Lü Shu was not joking. Previously, the slaves had given him a warning before they attacked. Later, when Sun Zhongyang and the others were injured, they immediately sent assassins. Their level was not high, but they were actually here to kill the caravan owner, Song Bo.
The other party was well aware that Song Bo's strength was merely that of a Level Two Martial Artist for show. They also knew that Song Bo wanted to buy a horse carriage the most. Therefore, they had sent two Level Two Martial Artists and the temptation of a horse carriage. Killing Song Bo should have been a sure thing, but in the end, Lü Shu had interfered.
There were many things that Lü Shu felt were strange, so it was better to be safe than sorry.
The caravan traveled in the wilderness. Sun Zhongyang and the others were still shakily cultivating and recuperating on the handcart, while Mo Xiaoya and the others were in the horse carriage with a big hole in it.
The slaves in the caravan were all extremely tired. Song Bo's slaves were also battle-hardened, guarding the house and escorting the horses. With Song Bo's status, he definitely had to buy the best slaves to protect himself.
However, no matter how good the slaves were, they could not interfere in a battle between Level One Martial Artists.
At this time, Song Bo felt that his own strength was still the foundation.
Everyone in the caravan was unkempt and dirty. The caravan had passed by a few small towns before, but Song Bo was afraid of causing trouble, so he did not go in and simply walked all the way to the capital.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, when the caravan passed by a small town or a city, Song Bo would send his slaves to replenish some food and fresh water and would not enter the city.
On the second day after Lü Shu said that there might be a mole, the slaves in the caravan left in a hurry. Song Bo explained to everyone that there was a small town not far from the official road, so he sent the slaves to buy some food.
Then, Song Bo realized that the atmosphere was not right. He turned around and realized that Lü Shu, Lü Xiaoyu, and Xu Mujun were also looking at him quietly …
Song Bo's scalp went numb. He asked Lü Shu, "Why are you looking at me?"
Lü Shu said calmly, "You're the one who has the easiest contact with the outside world. You just sit here. The other party did not make any moves yesterday, so it's very likely that they're waiting for an opportunity. No one is allowed to touch the food that your slave will buy later. Why don't you take a bite first?"
Song Bo did not feel good. He was usually worried that the food he bought would be poisoned, so he always let his slaves taste it. Now, he was the one who had to taste it. Everyone knew that it was a special time now, and poisoning was very likely to happen. Therefore, if he was the one to taste it, it was very likely that he would suddenly collapse …
Sun Zhongyang suddenly said coldly, "Don't be so suspicious. So much of our food and goods were destroyed, and because of the destruction of the carriages and horses, we also lost a lot of them. If we didn't buy food from outside, we wouldn't even need to poison it. We would have starved to death on the road. Also, Song Bo has worked for our Sun family for decades, and we trust him very much. "
Lü Shu glanced at Sun Zhongyang. To be honest, he did not have any bad feelings for this guy, because Sun Zhongyang did have the demeanor of a descendant of a big family, and he was honest and fair in dealing with people.
Therefore, Lü Shu understood that it was not without reason that Sun Zhongyang could become the hidden leader of Mo Xiaoya's group of descendants. It was because everyone respected him, and this Sun Zhongyang had a bit of charisma.
Now that Sun Zhongyang saw Lü Shu making things difficult for Song Bo, he could not stand it anymore. He remembered that Song Bo had been at his beck and call all along the way, so how could he suspect him at this time?
Lü Shu spread his hands. "Then tell me, what should we do if it's poisoned?"
At this time, Song Bo's slaves came back with buns wrapped in oiled paper. Song Bo thought for a moment. "Then let's do it this way. There's no need for you to taste it. I'll use a silver needle to test for poison to determine if this bun is poisoned. If it is, I'll apologize with my life. I hope that the Sun family will treat my wife and children well."
As he said that, Song Bo took out a silver needle and inserted it into the bun. When the silver needle was pulled out, it actually turned black!
This time, Sun Zhongyang had nothing to say.
The slave holding the bun opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time, not daring to speak. It was Lü Shu who said after two seconds of silence, "Are you stupid? This is a f * cking red bean bun!"
Lü Shu was puzzled. "Who told you that silver needles can test for poison?"
Song Bo was stunned for a moment. "It's from the Water Margin written by the Old Divine King."
Lü Shu suddenly felt that this Old Divine King was really free. He even copied something as long as the Water Margin?! But there was nothing much to say. The silver needle test for poison on Earth also came from the Water Margin. In the end, a bunch of people made the silver needle vivid, making it seem as if the silver needle was a special tool in wuxia novels that could test for poison with 100% certainty …
However, the principle of the silver needle test for poison was originally used to test for arsenic. Lü Shu really did not believe that something like arsenic would have any effect on a first-grade cultivator …
Lü Shu felt that with the strong physique of a first-grade cultivator, arsenic might not be able to kill them even if they ate it. At most, they would just have diarrhea and be alive and kicking the next day.
