Chapter 167 A Familiar Stranger

half a month later.

The three of Gao Huan finally arrived at the final destination of the trip - Jubei City.

Jubei City is an important northern town added by Ming Dynasty to resist the Hu people going south.

Most of the people living in the city are military households, as well as merchants who travel between the north and the south to exchange needs with the Hu and Han.

The three of Gao Huan drove non-stop for half a month. After entering the city, they decided to find an inn first.

Passing by a tea shop, Gao Huan suddenly saw a very familiar figure.

Gao Huan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to stop Jianghuhai and Jiang Huhai, and said, "Have a sip of tea before leaving."

Jiang Huhai frowned, and looked at Gao Huan silently. Seeing Gao Huan nodded slightly to himself, he immediately understood, and followed Gao Huan's eyes to look at the girl who was curled up in the corner.

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Gao Huan's gourd, he now had almost blind trust in Gao Huan, nodded, and followed Gao Huan to ask the owner of the tea shop for a seat by the window.

Cheng Lingsu suddenly stopped, standing there neither advancing nor retreating, for a moment he seemed at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"Hehe, it's interesting." Jiang Huhai smiled lightly.

Cheng Lingsu was startled, silently looked at Gao Huan's face, frowned and asked, "We know each other?"

Cheng Lingsu never expected that there are people like Gao Huan who actively seek death in the world.

Yu Qing frowned and asked, "Who is Xiao Tie?"

Yu Qing leaned over and wiped the bench under Jun'er with his sleeves. The whole process was smooth and smooth, and there was no sense of disobedience. Gao Huan and Jiang Huhai seemed to be used to it, just smiled and didn't say much What.

Yu Qing looked curiously at the little girl who was shivering and curled up in a corner in tattered clothes, and frowned, "Who is this wild girl?"

Gao Huan's seemingly calm answer made Yu Qing feel deeply afraid, because most of the people who can get Gao Huan's approval are by no means easy to get along with.

Gao Huan's understatement of a sentence fell on Cheng Lingsu's ears like a bolt from the blue.

Gao Huan seemed to turn a deaf ear to her words, poured her a cup of hot tea himself, and said, "Didn't you come to kill me? Why are you leaving again?"

Thinking about it, Yu Qing couldn't help frowning, and said, "So she's also a master poisoner?"

Gao Huan said, got up and stood up, looked at Cheng Lingsu who was walking slowly with a smile, and said: "Miss Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't you come here all right?"

Gao Huan struck so fast that Cheng Lingsu didn't have time to react at all. Seeing Gao Huan lift the jug upside down, he drank not a single drop of the poisoned wine from the jug.

Yu Qing looked sideways at the little girl curled up in the corner outside the teahouse, frowned at Gao Huan, and asked, "Is there anything weird?"

Jiang Huhai frowned, looked at Gao Huan curiously, and said, "Then how did you meet her?"

As soon as Cheng Lingsu was pressed on the seat by Gao Huan, she stood up reflexively, with an unconcealable shyness on her face and a hint of imperceptible apology, she waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, there is still something to do at home. It is inconvenient to stay here for long.”

Yu Qing looked at Cheng Lingsu coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "Then who are you? What is your purpose?"

Yu Qing's heart trembled suddenly, he looked away silently, looked sideways at Gao Huan beside him, and said with lingering fear: "This little girl is not simple."

"Jiang Xiaotie and Ms. Cheng came from the same school, but she is a generation shorter than her. He is Ms. Cheng's nephew." Gao Huan said.

When Cheng Lingsu heard this, his breath was stagnant, he looked at Gao Huan with a tangled face, nodded silently, and said: "Someone threatened Xiao Tie and asked me to poison you with Qixin Begonia."

Gao Huan smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "I met a familiar stranger."

"Yes, I recognize you, but you may not recognize me." Gao Huan said.

"Yes."

Cheng Lingsu was about to explain, but didn't want to be interrupted by Gao Huan's hand.

"What's her name?" Jiang Huhai asked with a frown.

"Sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up."

Jiang Huhai glanced at Gao Huan curiously, and said, "A familiar stranger?"

Gao Huan looked at Cheng Lingsu curiously, as if waiting for her answer.

Yu Qing pressed the handle of the knife, pulled the blade out of the sheath a little bit, looked at Cheng Lingsu warily, and asked coldly, "Are you a snake killer?"

Gao Huan held his chin, looked at the girl who got up slowly with a smile, and said, "Her name is Gong Ci'en, uh, no, her name is Cheng Lingsu, and she is the closed disciple of Master Wu'an, the Poisonous Hand Medicine King."

"She has two names? I think Gong Ci'en should be a pseudonym, right?"

"No, no, I'm not a killer." Cheng Lingsu waved his hands again and again.

Gao Huan nodded, and said: "It is said that the seven-heart crabapple she raised is extremely poisonous, and it is the number one poison in the world."

Cheng Lingsu was startled, looked at Gao Huan in disbelief, and said, "Really?"

Cheng Lingsu was a little confused, she suddenly took Gao Huan's hand, and ran out without saying a word, but instead of being able to pull Gao Huan, she was almost staggered by Gao Huan.

Gao Huan lightly pressed Cheng Lingsu's thin shoulders and pushed her onto the seat.

Jiang Huhai stood up slowly, with an expression of "I knew it was like this".

Gao Huan flicked back the Xiuchun knife that Yu Qing had pulled out of its scabbard, looked at Cheng Lingsu with a smile, and said in a gentle voice: "But what's the problem? Do you have to kill me to get a satisfactory solution?"

Gao Huan gently pulled Cheng Lingsu closer, patted her on the shoulder with a smile, and comforted her gently: "Don't worry, I have the Nine Suns Divine Art to protect my body, and I have already practiced a body that is invulnerable to all poisons. There's no threat to me at all."

"Yes."

Just when Yu Qing was looking at the girl with a smile, he saw that girl suddenly raised her head to look at Yu Qing, her eyes were extremely bright, and the eyeballs were as black as lacquer, when she raised her head like this, she was immediately radiant, with big black eyes The eyes seem to reveal endless wisdom.

Gao Huan suddenly snatched the jug hanging from Cheng Lingsu's waist, pulled out the sieve, took a sip, and said, "Do you still remember the person holding Jiang Xiaotie?"

As Gao Huan said, he suddenly grabbed Cheng Lingsu's weak and boneless little hand, and a chill came from his palm, which made him shiver shiveringly.

"I met her once, I vaguely remember her appearance, but she may not remember me."

Gao Huan took the initiative to take off the cloak on his body and put it on Cheng Lingsu's body. While helping her fasten the straps on the cloak, he said in a long-winded manner like a caring big brother: "In the middle of winter and the twelfth lunar month, you need to protect yourself. Frozen all over."

"Oh?"

Like a child who has done something wrong, Cheng Lingsu looked at Gao Huan with tears in his eyes, and said, "Seven Heart Begonia is the most poisonous poison in the world. If you don't take the antidote in time, your life may be in danger."

Gao Huan smiled slightly and said, "What did you lie to you for?"

"Let's make a deal, you take me to meet the person who wants to kill me, how about I help you rescue Jiang Xiaotie?" Gao Huan said.

Cheng Lingsu was thoughtful, thinking of the masked man who snatched Jiang Xiaotie from her, her heart tightened suddenly, and she said: "That man's martial arts are unfathomable, you may not be his opponent."

Gao Huan smiled slightly, and said, "You need to compete to know which one is better."
