"Do you want to know?" Jiang Liechen asked. He cast a glance toward Cheng Jiaxuan, who was standing on the side, and coldly said, "It was her master, the Noble Consort Yun. In order to make me suffer for the rest of my life, she set up this trap. She really put a lot of thought into it …" Speaking the last four words, he was gnashing his teeth hatefully. Cheng Jiaxuan ignored the pain on his face, he anxiously said, "No, this matter has nothing to do with me. I did not know anything about it. The misunderstanding among the major sects was indeed caused by me, but the one who instigated Shaoshuai's death was not me! "
"Naturally it was not you," Jiang Liechen said, "You are not important enough. So what?" Cheng Jiaxuan said, "I think Niangniang was angry that you tricked Miss Luojin into killing herself, so she set up a deadly trap to deal with you …" Although Ji Qiannian was curious about who Miss Luojin was, it was not appropriate to ask in detail. Besides, she heard that Miss Luojin was dead anyway, so it did not matter to her. Thereupon she said, "This Noble Consort Yun is so hateful, we'd better go to the capital and kill her first to avenge the Master Yun Xing."
"Out of the question!" Jiang Liechen said, "She is my woman. Even if I want to take her life, I have to do it myself. Did you forget what I told you six years ago? "
Ji Qiannian said in her heart, "Who can remember clearly what happened six years ago? But you did protect the Noble Consort Yun in front of us. " And then she remembered the ambiguity of 'she is my woman'; she could not help but feeling jealous. "All right," she said, "I won't kill her then. I have plenty of ways to deal with her. All along, what women care most about is their appearance. The Noble Consort Yun is especially so. The reason she has the power and status she has today is all because of the Emperor's favor. If we disfigure her face, who would be able to stand an ugly freak on the bed? By that time the Emperor would dislike her and banish her to the Cold Palace. She is known as the number one beauty in the world, isn't her face her lifeblood? I'm afraid she'll look at herself in the mirror and see her disfigured appearance, which is neither human nor ghost. She'll end her life and commit suicide, saving us the trouble of taking action. "
Cheng Jiaxuan shuddered and said, "What … do you want to do?" She thought that since Shen Shiyun was incomparably beautiful, Jiang Liechen wouldn't look at her directly. Therefore, she agreed with Shen Shiyun's suggestion. It was just that the thought of ruining someone's face was terrifying.
Ji Qiannian snorted coldly and said, "What cut or stab? It's just a small flesh wound. That's too easy on her. Since we're going to destroy her, then let's destroy her thoroughly. Our Cult has a kind of poison, too much of it is enough to be fatal. But if one or two drops of it is smeared on the face, it will burn the entire face. The effect is the most obvious! "Jiang Liechen laughed coldly and said," In the end, the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart. "Ji Qiannian angrily said," Hateful, I'm trying to help you vent your anger. "
Jiang Liechen thought that after listening to her description, the poison was very similar to the one used by Zarsaketu many years ago. It was also the same kind of poison as the arrow in the Hall of the Dead. "What kind of poison?" he asked.
Ji Qiannian said, "It is said that two of the poisons are a mixture of seven-star begonia and heartbreak grass. The others are mixed with a lot of other poisons. There are too many kinds, I can't remember clearly. In short, it was concocted by Senior Sheng Shou Du Wang years ago. He was always playful and competitive. His original intention was to make a poison more poisonous than the Broken Love Sword. He once refined several hundred kinds of poisonous plants and poisonous substances. The final product is indeed very poisonous. But everybody knows that compared to the Broken Love Sword, it is still a long way off. This is natural. That is one of the Seven Evils Treasures of the ancient times. How could it be so easy to surpass it? "
Jiang Liechen's heart was thumping wildly. "Is there an antidote?" he asked. Then he sighed and said, "Forget it." He thought that he was not just poisoned. As early as six years ago, he had already used his internal energy to force the poison out of his body. But the skin and flesh on his face had really been burned and rotted. How could it be cured? Ji Qiannian was very smart. She understood the meaning behind his words and said, "You … your face is also smeared with that kind of poison, right?"
Jiang Liechen snorted and gave her a reply. Ji Qiannian still wanted to deceive herself and others. "That poison kills immediately. Logically, there is no antidote. It's also my fault for not concentrating when I studied toxicology. Don't worry too much. How about this, after we return to the Miao stockade village, I will study it carefully. If there is anything I don't understand, I can ask some famous seniors who are proficient in this field. They will definitely be able to formulate an antidote. Ay, who would be so ruthless? Is it … your sect's Hierarch? "Jiang Liechen said," Otherwise, who else can hurt me? "
Ji Qian Nian paused for a moment and said, "This is really puzzling. You are his right-hand man. You have always done things perfectly. He has always nurtured you with great care. He treats you like his own son. He can't even bear to say half a harsh word to you. Even if you talk back to him, on the surface he is angry. But he still hasn't punished you at all. To be able to use this kind of ruthless poison, he is deliberately trying to kill you. You … what exactly did you do to make him unforgivable? "
Jiang Liechen said, "It's nothing. I just stood in front of him and told him directly: You can die now. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to perish together with me. Do you believe me? "
Ji Qiannian was determined not to believe him. But thinking that nine out of ten things he was hiding from her, if she continued to ask, she would only be asking for humiliation just like Cheng Jiaxuan. She had no choice but to answer, "I believe him. Being provoked to his face, it's normal for him to not be able to swallow his anger. It's just that the Senior's temperament is eccentric and unsociable, it's hard not to be paranoid. " Thinking that she was deceived by him, yet she still had to cover up his lie, she felt that nothing could be more absurd than this.
"I know," Cheng Jiaxuan said, "That is commonly known as' forcing the abdication of the throne '. You fought with him, in the end he could not defeat you, so he could not swallow his anger and wanted to fight to the death. "
In the past Jiang Liechen's usurpation of the throne had spread like wildfire in the Wulin world. The Xuan Shuang also investigated this matter clearly. She thought she could use this opportunity to show her understanding of him. She also thought that since he was able to defeat the Hierarch who taught her martial art, his skill must be exceptional. She was hoping that this sentence would please him. But Jiang Liechen only cast a cold glance toward her. His eyes were as cold as two sharp blades, penetrating her heart, making her feel cold from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. She could only stare blankly at herself, "I … what did I say wrong?"
Ji Qiannian saw that she really did not understand this matter. Although she was taking pleasure in her misfortune, she also saw the five bright red finger marks on both sides of her face. She was really beaten pitifully. Her heart was moved. She pulled her arm and said in a low voice, "Meimei, there are a lot of things you don't understand. Some people just hope that nobody can see through them, so that they can use their mystery to keep up appearances. Don't tell me you want to be seen through by other people, so that they can even count your intestines? In order to give them face, even if you know something, just keep it in your heart, on the surface you still have to pretend you don't know. Killing the master and usurping the throne, it sounds awe-inspiring, but it is not something to be proud of. If the heroes know about it, they will criticize you behind your back. "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "I also know that I have to watch my words and observe my body language … but, how do I know what other people care about and what they don't care about?"
Jiang Liechen turned his head halfway and said, "Have you said enough? We should be on our way. " Ji Qiannian let go of Cheng Jiaxuan and stepped forward to follow him. She said, "It's rare for me to come to the Central Plains. I want to stay for a few more days and see the local conditions and customs. This place happens to be very close to our new stronghold. Why don't we go over and sit for a while? " Jiang Liechen only wanted to get the Broken Love Sword as soon as possible. When the time came, there would be no need to be entangled with her. He impatiently said, "You want to find an excuse to delay?"
Ji Qiannian said, "I said I would give it to you, so the Broken Love Sword is yours. Why are you in such a hurry? Going to Miaojiang to get it is official business, it doesn't count. I came here with you to pay respects, so that you won't be too sad alone. Even if it's you, you should accompany me, okay? As a man, you should dote on your wife a little more. That's how a gentleman should behave. "Jiang Liechen said," I'm not a gentleman. "Ji Qiannian shook his shoulder back and forth. She said," Whether you are or not, I don't care. Come on, come on! If you're a gentleman, I'll be a gentleman with you. If you're a villain, I'll be a villain with you. What else do you want? "
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "I don't know what to do with you. Forget it, who told me to ask you for a favor? " Cheng Jiaxuan looked at the two of them talking and laughing. His heart was in pain. Before, he could still deceive himself that it was because Jiang Liechen was in a bad mood and didn't want to pay attention to him. After this period of time, he would get better. But today he met Ji Qiannian. The two of them were together at the same time. The difference in their attitudes was obvious. Although Jiang Liechen did not treat her as well as he treated Shen Shiyun in the Ancient Tomb, he treated her a hundred thousand times better than he treated himself. Following them, his heart tightened and fell straight down.

With great difficulty, Lu Qian managed to deal with Ji Qiannian with words. Then he rolled and crawled to escape. He supported himself on the tree trunk with both hands. He wished he could grow a pair of wings under his feet. Fortunately, the people traveling with him were also poisoned. Nobody could exert any strength. Their speed was much slower than before. Because of this, he finally joined the group in front of the Shaolin Temple. Gasping for breath, he squeezed his way forward. He could not help but complain, "Why are you running so fast? Are you rushing to be reincarnated? You don't have any code of brotherhood. Why did you leave me to that demoness? "
The disciples on both sides looked at him with disdain. They said, "You really have the guts to say that. You and that demoness are whispering sweet nothings to each other. You're so uncomfortable. We're not so tactless as to disturb you. "" You said such shameless things to that demoness. You've really lost the face of our Decent Sect! We don't have a companion like you. Being close to you makes us dirty. Get out! Get out! "" What kind of Decent Sect disciple is he? He's a leftover from that Qing Tian Zhai bandit cave. Pei! "
Lu Qian heaved a deep sigh and said, "Friends, I, Lu Qian, have sacrificed myself for you. Finally I have saved your little lives. It's fine if you don't thank me, but you still want to defile me like this. The Heaven is really heartless, destiny is not fair. Ay! Ay! "He shook his head and sighed again and again, as if his chest was filled with endless grievances.
A disciple said, "You and that demoness are talking nonsense in public. She is shameless, you are shameless too. Don't tell me you did it for our own good? Don't make people laugh their heads off. "
With an innocent face Lu Qian said, "Of course it's for your own good! Ji Qiannian is dissolute by nature. You all saw it just now. Alliance Leader Li and Sect Leader Liu talked to her for half a day in all seriousness, asking her to hand over the antidote. Would she be willing? Didn't she just take it as an old monk chanting sutra, going in one ear and out the other? It was I who sacrificed myself and catered to her liking by saying some flirtatious words to get closer to her and make her happy. Only then did it become easier to persuade her. Did you see that after I said that, her attitude became a lot better? At first she insisted that we use the Soul of Despair in exchange. This time she only needed to go to Shaolin Temple to drink tea and wait for the antidote. Don't tell me it wasn't my words that worked? Isn't it my contribution? Without me, those injured brothers would still be in pain … "Thinking that Ji Qiannian had only promised to give them the antidote, but in fact she had not received it yet, he changed his words," They would still be in pain! "
