I am the one running the game

Chapter 25 How to prove colorless and odorless poison
The Shangguan family is from the Iron Sword Sect. Some disciples will go down the mountain to marry and have children after they are about the same age, and then send their children to the Iron Sword Sect in the future, thus creating a win-win situation.

Iron Sword Gate gives them shelter, and they hand over a dividend every year.

In this way, Iron Sword Sect can have a steady stream of money and resources, and the number of families protected by Iron Sword Sect is not only the Shangguan family, but also many.

This time I came here to support the scene, so I passed by.

Therefore, Meng Hu and Shangguan Ru are actually brothers and sisters, but Shangguan Ru has not officially joined the Iron Sword Sect.

But this time he will also leave and officially teach the corresponding martial arts.

Lu Xingshi finally agreed to follow the other party to Saibei. He did not think this was a coincidence. It was most likely that the imperial court had recruited various sects again.

It's just that Meng Hu and others didn't know.

It doesn't sound good to say it. They are the five great people in the world, and they are actually dispatched by the court. This is simply ridiculous. You must know that they have always called the Jianghu who surrendered to the court as the court's hawks and dogs, and the court's minions.

They declared to the outside world that they were naturally acting chivalrously.

In fact, this is correct. What they are dealing with is not the rebels, but the group of right-wingers.

It's justified.

Lu Xingshi followed him into the Shangguan Mansion. The Shangguan family was engaged in hugely profitable businesses such as medicinal materials, furs, cosmetics, etc., with the Iron Sword Sect as the backend, and they were very wealthy at the same time. From this mansion, Lu Xingshi could see how much the Shangguan family had. Got money.

After entering the door, Meng Hu took Lu Xingshi to find the uncle of the Iron Sword Sect. On the way, Lu Xingshi also asked about him. He was known as Qingfeng Kuaijian in the world, and his name was Cui Xuan.

After the meeting, after listening to Meng Hu's story, he also expressed his gratitude to Lu Xingshi, and patted his chest and promised that he could follow them all the way to Saibei unimpeded.

There was no sign of contempt or doubt. Instead, he looked pleasant and harmonious. Meng Hu, on the other hand, received a scolding.

After all, he is his nephew. Fortunately, nothing happened. If something happened, he would have been stabbed in the spine for the rest of his life.

There are indeed intrigues within the sect, but this is when it is internal, and when it is external, it is still very united. Vicious internal fights are rare. Once they occur, it is internal strife within the sect.

Most of it is healthy competition.

Lu Xingshi just swaggered into the seats of Iron Sword Gate.

After the birthday boy Shangguan Zhe came out in festive clothes, the birthday banquet officially began, leaving Lu Xingshi waiting for about half an hour.

Shangguan Ru was in the last row among Shangguan Zhe's descendants, obviously Yao'er.

Thinking about it, no matter how energetic Shangguan Zhe is, he can't be so strong.

Then there were a group of wives and concubines, but they just showed up and entered the inner hall.

After saying that, they started to drink and eat. Lu Xingshi naturally moved his chopsticks, and it would be shameful not to eat even if he came.

But as soon as he took the food into his mouth, he found that his health dropped by 1%, and then recovered.

"This thing... seems to be poisonous?" Lu Xingshi said softly.

The people at their table at the Iron Sword Gate froze at the same time.

Lu Xingshi was very powerful, so as soon as the poison entered his body, he was immune to it by his internal strength and bones, but others might not be able to do it.

"Do you have any evidence?" Cui Xuan said immediately. He could actually tell that Lu Xingshi was of extraordinary origin and it was indeed possible to notice it.

"Colorless and odorless, there are so many poisons of this kind that I can't even tell what kind of poison they are." Lu Xingshi said. This poison is obviously some kind of high-level poison. Lu Xingshi has the relevant full-level ability value, but it is colorless and odorless, so it is not that easy to distinguish it.

Otherwise, the term colorless and tasteless would be useless.

In fact, the main reason why Lu Xingshi didn't distinguish it was that the poison was metabolized by him too quickly, and it was gone before he could even check it.

"How sure are you?" Cui Xuan asked.

"Wait a moment." Lu Xingshi said, stuffing another mouthful of food into his mouth, and then feeling it for a moment before saying, "Try to move your internal energy to an inch above your belly button."

He didn't answer how sure he was, and just asked Cui Xuan to try it himself.

Cui Xuan was not ambiguous at all. He directly followed Lu Xingshi's statement and felt pain in his stomach. He spit out a mouthful of black blood.

"It is indeed poisonous. Please follow Lu Xiaoyou's method to detoxify it!" Cui Xuan spitting out the black blood was considered to have expelled the poison, so he immediately ordered other disciples to do the same.

However, the fact that he vomited black blood naturally attracted attention, and then the Iron Sword Sect disciples vomited it out one after another, and the expressions of everyone present at the banquet also changed.

"Someone poisoned the banquet, everyone..." Cui Xuan stood up and told everyone the antidote.

"But...but we don't have the inner strength, how can we detoxify?" Someone asked with a sad face.

"I also ask you all heroes to help me, and I am willing to reward you with a hundred gold!" Some people offered inducements.

Most of the people who came to Shangguan Mansion to attend Shangguan Zhe's birthday banquet were local wealthy families, business collaborators, etc., and there were only a few people practicing martial arts.

Their family heirlooms, whether in poetry, books or business, are not made to endure hardships. It is better to practice by yourself than to hire someone as a guard.

I just didn’t expect to get poisoned here.

"Go and help them." Cui Xuan said to the Iron Sword Sect disciples.

Then he looked at Shangguan Zhe. As an eighty-year-old man, the other man stood up tremblingly, as if he wanted to explain something.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, black blood spurted out from his mouth. It was obvious that the other party was also poisoned. It was not like they were just slightly poisoned. The other party was poisoned very deeply and had already penetrated into the organs.

"Is there any way to save Xiaoyou Lu?" Cui Xuan certainly doesn't want Shangguan Zhe to die. Shangguan Zhe is the backbone of the Shangguan family. Without him, the future development of the Shangguan family is unknown.

"It can't be saved. He is old, weak, and has been poisoned for a long time. He is unable to save his life." Lu Xingshi shook his head.

There is indeed a way to treat it. He has read it in a medical book in Linlang Tower, but the success rate is less than 10%.

It's okay if it succeeds, but if it fails, who knows if the other party will blackmail me.

Furthermore, he didn't think that the success rate of less than 10% could be met by the opponent, so simply saying that there was no way was the best solution.

"It's just that this matter is probably not simple. It is a premeditated action." Lu Xingshi said.

Cui Xuan looked at the guests with a solemn expression. He didn't know whether they came for him and others or for Shangguan's family. If it was the latter, that would be fine.

If it was the former, it was probably done by the people in Saibei, in order to prevent them from reaching Saibei.

This proves that the situation in northern Saibei may be in danger.
