Chapter 72: Kill someone and then stab him, no worries afterwards
"No, you poisoned me."
Tian Boguang is certainly not a stupid person, as he is able to be a professional flower thief and leave behind such a notorious reputation in the world until now.
At this moment, whether it was Chu Qinghe or Qu Feiyan and the other three women, they were all too calm.
Chu Qinghe and the others were so calm that they faced their poisoning situation without showing any surprise on their faces.
Faced with the reactions of Chu Qinghe and others at this moment, unless Tian Boguang's brain had been pinched by a door, it was impossible for him not to see the problem.
However, just as Tian Boguang said this, he couldn't help but spit out blood again.
Moreover, the amount of blood spit out this time was obviously much larger than before.
As he spat out this mouthful of blood, the pain that was rotting his bones and gnawing at his heart became several times more intense.
At the same time, Tian Boguang also felt as if there was an invisible funnel in his body that was rapidly draining away his strength, making it difficult for Tian Boguang to hold up his body any longer. His arms went limp and he fell to the ground.
But after just two or three breaths, the body stopped moving.
"died?"
Looking at Tian Boguang lying motionless at the entrance of the inner courtyard, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but look at Chu Qinghe.
Facing what Qu Feiyan said, Chu Qinghe did not respond immediately.
Instead, he raised his right hand, pointed it into a sword, and pointed it at Tian Boguang in the distance.
As the internal force condensed into a point and shot out, the moment the condensed internal force mixed with sword intent touched Tian Boguang's head, a "puff" sound was heard.
At this point, Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "Yes, he's dead."
The three girls: “…”
Faced with Chu Qinghe's behavior, the three women were speechless.
Qu Feiyan said helplessly: "Sir, you are too cautious, aren't you?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly: "Kill someone and then stab him, there will be no worries afterwards, but what if he is not dead? Wait for him to kill you back?"
Those who drown are often those who boast of their good swimming skills.
In his previous life, Chu Qinghe had also seen many disasters.
It is better to be safe than sorry. How many people in the world don’t have one or two tricks up their sleeves?
Does anyone know if Tian Boguang has learned something like the Turtle Breathing Technique?
If he doesn't die completely, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue also smiled.
In all their lives, the two women had never seen anyone as cautious as Chu Qinghe.
It really doesn't leave any room for people.
After a moment, Qu Feiyan said, "However, why is the reaction of Tian Boguang to poisoning different from the symptoms of Sister Yue's previous poisoning? Did you use a different poison, sir?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly: "I guess so! After all, adding a few more herbs will definitely have a different effect."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe put his hands into his arms.
When he took his hand out, there was already an extra medicine bottle in his hand.
After handing the medicine bottle to Qu Feiyan, Chu Qinghe said, "After moving the body outside the city, drop a little on his body."
Qu Feiyan looked at the medicine bottle in her hand and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Chu Qinghe said lazily: "Corpse powder, when it comes into contact with blood, it will turn into a special poison that can directly dissolve the corpse."
After learning what was in the medicine bottle, Qu Feiyan's eyes lit up.
According to the effect Chu Qinghe described, this corpse-dissolving powder is simply a must-have item for destroying the body after killing someone.
After looking at the medicine bottle for a few seconds, Qu Feiyan put away the corpse powder and quickly moved to the side of Tian Boguang's body.
However, before Qu Feiyan bent down to grab Tian Boguang's body, Qu Feiyan suddenly caught a glimpse of the sack that Tian Boguang had brought over.
"What is this?"
Out of curiosity, Qu Feiyan walked to the side of the sack and untied the rope that sealed it.
As the rope was untied, after pulling it twice, Qu Feiyan saw clearly what was inside the sack. He quickly turned his head and said, "Sir, there is a girl in this sack."
"Um?"
Hearing Qu Feiyan's voice, the three people under the tree moved to Qu Feiyan curiously.
As the three people approached, they could see the person in the sack clearly with the help of the surrounding light.
She was wearing a light yellow linen dress, with trimmed eyebrows, a straight nose, dimples on her cheeks, and a fair, tender and sweet face.
Although she has a stunning appearance, she still looks childish. Judging from her age, she should be about the same age as Qu Feiyan.
What is particularly striking is that the woman's facial features are more three-dimensional.
Compared with Qu Feiyan and Dongfang Bubai, although the woman is small, she already has a more exotic beauty.
Judging from his appearance alone, he looks a bit like someone from the Western Regions.
After looking at the woman in the sack for a while, Chu Qinghe's gaze moved to the woman's head.
"Hey, twin-tailed loli?"
As for men, their focus will be different when it comes to some special things.
Just as Chu Qinghe's eyes fell on the two ponytails tied on the woman's head and he was thinking whether he should start to tangle them, Qu Feiyan raised his hand and hovered it under the woman's nose for a while before saying, "She's still breathing."
Chu Qinghe said calmly: "He was drugged and passed out."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but glance at Tian Boguang's body on the ground.
A flower thief knocked a beautiful girl unconscious and ran to his side with her.
As a man, Chu Qinghe could definitely guess what Tian Boguang was thinking.
"This guy has a big appetite."
Next to him, Dongfang Bubai seemed to have guessed the reason why Tian Boguang brought this woman to his house, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
With a cold snort, Dongfang Bubai swung his right hand lightly.
The powerful palm force and true energy burst out and instantly fell on Tian Boguang's body.
In an instant, the sound of "cracking" bones came from Tian Boguang's body.
Under this palm strike, Tian Boguang's head suddenly tilted, and as luck would have it, it was heading towards Yao Yue.
Looking at Tian Boguang's pale face at this moment, Yao Yue snorted coldly and flipped her palm gently.
Along with the flow of true energy, under the pulling of a special force, Tian Boguang's head on the ground was forcibly twisted 180 degrees and broken, and his head also tilted to another direction.
Seeing the two women's actions one after another, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but take a breath.
“How miserable!”
His eyes unconsciously glanced at Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue.
"Sure enough, women are more ruthless."
Sighing in his heart, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but express a moment of silence for Tian Boguang who was dead and beaten on the ground.
After retracting his gaze, Chu Qinghe flicked his sleeves, and some medicine powder flew towards the woman in the sack.
After a few breaths, under the reflection of the surrounding lights, the long eyelashes of the woman in the sack trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
As her eyes opened, after a brief moment of confusion, the woman suddenly sat up in shock as she looked at Chu Qinghe and the other three people surrounding her.
At the same time, the fluctuations of the sixth level of the acquired realm's cultivation began to emerge from the woman's body.
However, when the woman's eyes moved and noticed Tian Boguang's body nearby, her emotions quickly calmed down.
After seeing the woman's series of reactions and sensing the fluctuations of internal force in her body, Chu Qinghe raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yohu? You know martial arts?"
Here, after calming down for a few breaths, the woman stood up from the ground and glanced at Chu Qinghe and the others.
When looking at the outstanding looks of Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai and others, the woman couldn't help but show some surprise in her eyes.
After a while, the woman turned her gaze to Qu Feiyan, who was about the same age as herself, and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, sister, where is this place?"
While looking at the woman, Qu Feiyan responded, "In my master's courtyard."
After hearing what Qu Feiyan said, the woman looked at Chu Qinghe again.
Facing the woman's gaze, Chu Qinghe said calmly: "This guy brought you here."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe pointed at Tian Boguang's body on the ground.
After looking at Tian Boguang's body in the direction indicated by Chu Qinghe, the woman bowed to Chu Qinghe and said, "Thank you for saving my life, young master."
Chu Qinghe nodded gently and said, "You're welcome!"
As soon as the voice came out, Qu Feiyan beside him suddenly said: "How are you going to thank us?"
The woman seemed to have not expected Qu Feiyan to follow up with this question, and she was stunned for a moment.
Chu Qinghe said calmly: "It's just a joke, young lady, don't think too much about it."
Then, without waiting for the girl to speak, Chu Qinghe said again: "The night is getting darker. Since the girl is awake now, it's better for her to go home early. Feiyan, please send this girl out!"
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan said "Oh" and then gestured to the woman.
But the woman did not leave immediately when Qu Feiyan led the way. Instead, she said in a gentle voice, "My surname is Han, my name is Zhao. May I ask your name, benefactor?"
Facing the woman's question, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Why do we have to know each other before we meet? Why does Miss Xiao Zhao mind so much?"
However, just after Chu Qinghe said this, he suddenly let out a sigh in his heart.
"Hmm? Xiao Zhao?"
When Chu Qinghe first heard Xiao Zhao's full name, he didn't react for a moment.
But when he casually called out Xiao Zhao just now, Chu Qinghe realized that something was wrong.
His last name is Han Zhao, he looks a bit exotic and has martial arts skills.
Taking several factors into consideration, Chu Qinghe had no doubt about the woman's identity.
If I'm not mistaken, the woman in front of me should be the mother of the Purple-Robed Dragon King.
However, Chu Qinghe didn’t know how Xiao Zhao met Tian Boguang.
Just when Chu Qinghe was surprised to have guessed Xiao Zhao's identity, Xiao Zhao in front of him spoke again: "Since the young master is unwilling to reveal his name, Xiao Zhao naturally dare not force it."
Afterwards, after performing the usual greetings to Chu Qinghe and the others again, Xiao Zhao walked a few steps to the side and picked up Tian Boguang's body from the ground.
This action was obviously intended to help Chu Qinghe and others dispose of Tian Boguang's body.
"Sure enough, this girl is quite sensible."
Perhaps it was the celebrity effect, but looking at Xiao Zhao's behavior at this moment, Chu Qinghe felt that Xiao Zhao exuded a kind of well-behaved spirit from head to toe.
As a result, the two ponytails also look more pleasing to the eye.
Here, as Xiao Zhao used his internal energy to lift up Tian Boguang's body, he saw that Tian Boguang seemed to have no bones, with his limbs and head drooping limply.
It was obvious that all the bones in the body were broken.
At this time, Tian Boguang had truly reached a state of being weak and boneless.
Faced with the state of Tian Boguang's body at this time, Xiao Zhao's face froze slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Chu Qinghe and the others.
But the next moment, Xiao Zhao nodded to Chu Qinghe and the others, said "Xiao Zhao, goodbye", and then jumped out with Tian Boguang's body.
Seeing Xiao Zhao leaving with the corpse, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but touch his chin.
"What's going on? Is there really something wrong with the feng shui of my yard? Why are these people coming to me one after another?"
Forget about Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue.
Now even Xiao Zhao and Tian Boguang are here.
The Ming Dynasty is so big, why do all of them flock to our side?
Isn't this unreasonable?
Looking at Chu Qinghe staring at the front yard with a thoughtful look on his face, Dongfang Bubai suddenly said, "If you couldn't bear to let her go, why did you send her away just now? This little girl is quite pretty, a beauty, it wouldn't be bad to let her stay as a maid."
Hearing Dongfang Bubai's voice, Chu Qinghe regained his thoughts, then glanced at Yao Yue and said, "Don't make a fuss, I just remembered something else. Besides, where has anyone ever kept someone as a maid for the first time?"
Yao Yue who was standing by suddenly asked, "Didn't you poison the courtyard? Why didn't that girl get poisoned just now?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly: "It's not that she wasn't poisoned, but I cured the poison in her body."
Yao Yue was surprised and asked, "It's solved? When?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Just now when that girl asked me my name."
After hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Yao Yue couldn't help but look at Chu Qinghe deeply.
"Your method of poisoning is truly unpredictable."
From beginning to end, Yao Yue stood by Chu Qinghe's side.
But even so, no one had noticed that Chu Qinghe had taken any detoxification actions before.
This shows that Chu Qinghe's level of poison use is so strong that it is shocking.
Since someone had taken care of the body, Chu Qinghe was naturally happy to see it.
After using the corpse powder to dissolve the bloodstains left by Tian Boguang, the four of them returned to the card table.
Only after all the money of the three women went into Chu Qinghe's pocket did Chu Qinghe walk towards his room with satisfaction.
Only the three women who had lost completely and had wooden faces were left sitting in the yard.
Looking at his empty wallet, Qu Feiyan's mouth was pouting when he stood up and returned to the room.
When Qu Feiyan returned to the room, Yao Yue said, "I'm going out for a walk," and slowly stood up.
But before Yao Yue could use her skills to leave, Dongfang Bubai's voice sounded with a hint of disdain.
"Just tell your disciples from Yihua Palace that you want to get the money. Why bother making up excuses like going out for a walk? It's hypocritical."
In response to what Dongfang Bubai said, Yao Yue paused and her face suddenly darkened.
"Humph, I have already lost, how can you be any better?"
As the voice fell, Yao Yue's figure flashed and disappeared in the courtyard.
Just as Yao Yue left, a faint whistle sound suddenly reached Dongfang Bubai's ears.
Facing the message from the disciple of the Sun and Moon Sect, Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes slightly and flashed out of the courtyard.
"Master!"
As Dongfang Bubai appeared, Sang Sanniang and other disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect also hurriedly saluted.
"What is it?"
Sang Sanniang said quickly, "Replying to the leader, the matter that the leader asked to investigate has been responded to. The token with the word 'Xuan' on it is not the spy token of Hulong Villa, but belongs to the East Factory under Cao Zhengchun."
Dongfang Bubai's face tilted slightly.
"East Factory?"
Sang Sanniang nodded and said, "That's right. Five years ago, after Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Factory, learned that Tiedan Shenhou of Hulong Villa had established four secret teams of Tiandi Xuanhuang, he followed the example of Hulong Villa and established four secret teams, also in the order of Tiandi Xuanhuang. According to the disciples who investigated, the token that the leader gave before was exactly the token with the word 'Xuan' belonging to the East Factory."
After hearing Sang Sanniang's report, Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly.
But in his mind, he recalled the previous discussions with Chu Qinghe.
"In other words, if the disaster was really diverted to the east, then the East Factory would not be suspected?"
After thinking for a moment, Dongfang Bubai asked slowly: "Anything else?"
Sang Sanniang bowed and said, "Master, according to the report from our disciples lurking in Hengshan Sect, Liu Zhengfeng of Hengshan Sect will retire in one month, and the location will be Nanyue City next to Yushui City. At that time, people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect should all participate."
Dongfang Bubai asked, "Liu Zhengfeng? The junior brother of the Hengshan Sect's leader?"
Sang Sanniang lowered her head and responded, "That's right."
Then, Sang Sanniang hesitated for a moment and then lowered her head and whispered, "In addition, Elder Tong Baixiong in the sect sent a message saying that Elder Qu also wanted to resign from the position of elder and retire to the mountains and forests and wanted to meet the leader."
Dongfang Bubai snorted, "Oh! Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan School wants to retire, and at this time, Qu Yang also wants to retire from the martial arts world. It seems like they have discussed it beforehand."
Listening to what Dongfang Bubai said, Sang Sanniang lowered her head and dared not respond, for fear of angering Dongfang Bubai at this time and bringing trouble upon herself.
Here, after thinking for a while, Dongfang Bubai said: "Send a message to Tong Baixiong and ask Qu Yang to come to Yushui City to see this leader."
Sang Sanniang quickly responded, "I obey your command."
After finishing the business, Dongfang Bubai slowly turned around and wanted to return to Chu Qinghe's courtyard.
However, before Dongfang Bubai could move, he suddenly glanced in the direction where Yao Yue had left.
After a few moments of hesitation, Dongfang Bubai said, "Take out all the money you have."
"ah?"
When Sang Sanniang heard Dongfang Bubai's words, she was stunned for a moment.
But the next second, Sang Sanniang came to her senses and hurriedly took out all the money on her body, and then put it together with the money of other Sun Moon Sect disciples and handed it respectfully to Dongfang Bubai.
After putting the bulging money bags into his sleeves, Dongfang Bubai flashed back to Chu Qinghe's yard.
After Dongfang Bubai left, Sang Sanniang looked at the empty purses in her hands and a look of inexplicable sadness appeared on her face.
