The night was very peaceful. With Whale Salamander's order, the guards almost completely avoided the room where Zi Du and Zi Yan were.
When the whale salamander drank the bowl of blood, the poison was instantly suppressed, and his movements were basically unhindered. This made him so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.
The next day, at dawn, Whale Salamander personally sent the two of them washing supplies.
"I thank Young Master and Miss Su for saving my life. If you need me in the future, I will definitely die for you.”
"Since you've recovered, we'll leave after dealing with the aftermath. I hope you won't leak any information.”
Zi Du wasn't prepared to come into contact with this whale salamander, but it was obvious that he had done him a favor, so Zi Du wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
"Being loyal to the empire is the responsibility of our soldiers. Moreover, Young Master saved this lowly one, so Whale Salamander will naturally follow Young Master and follow Young Master's lead.”
Whale Salamander quickly said. He didn't know why Zi Du had such a bad impression of him, but not to mention his responsibility as a soldier, just Zi had saved his life. He couldn't repay Zi Du in this life.
"One more person is also one more layer of security. I think we should let him follow you.”
Before Zi Du could say anything, Su Li, who was standing behind Zi Du, gently tugged at Zi Du's sleeve.
"Since Su Li is speaking up for you, I won't say anything. In the future, you will continue to follow Zhao Gao. If I have no choice, I will look for you.”
Zi Du rubbed Su Li's head, then turned around to pick up the towel in the copper basin and handed it to Su Li.
"Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, Miss Su. I will not fail my mission.”
Hearing Zi Du relent, the kneeling whale salamander hurriedly thanked him. Even his forehead was bleeding.
"You can go down and prepare breakfast.”
Zi Du waved his hand at the whale salamander. He did not know why, but he felt a great disgust for this person, especially when Su Li was involved. He had a feeling that he could explode at any moment.
"Yes."
The whale salamander did not even raise its head and slowly retreated.
The remaining two did not say anything. After Zi Du helped Su Li tidy up, there were already soldiers outside who had brought food up. This time, the whale salamander was very conscious of not disturbing the two.
Sitting at the dining table, there were several times when he wanted to open his mouth, but he did not know how to ask. In the end, it was Su Li who spoke first.
"Are you curious why I know how to detoxify the poison in the whale salamander?”
"Yes."
Zi Du looked into Su Li's clear eyes and replied. It was as if he had been possessed by a devil and discovered that no matter how he looked, he could not see enough.
"Actually, he planted diluted (Mountain Poison), which is the poison extracted from the spider you killed.”
Su Li lowered his head and softly said to Zi Du.
"Mountain Poison? Could it be that the spider I killed was called the Mountain Spider?”
Zi Zi was in a mess. If this was really the case, then everything would really be in big trouble.
"No, its name is 'Female Spider' and the Mountain Spider is just one of its descendants.
Su Li shook his head. Zi Du, who had originally seen this scene, couldn't help but sigh in relief. However, Su Li's sudden turn had nearly thrown him flying.
"Do you know of a book called the Classic of Mountains and Seas?”
Zi Du hurriedly said. This information was too much for him to accept.
"Mountain and Sea Scripture? Are you talking about the annals of the mountains and seas?"
After thinking for a moment, Su Li raised his head. His beautiful eyes were filled with doubt.
"The one that records all kinds of strange beasts and legends?”
Zi Du hurriedly asked. As for eating, it was already a small matter.
"That would be the annals of the Mountains and Seas. However, these books are usually kept in the Empire's 'Book Residences.' I was fortunate enough to see them once.”
Speaking of this, Su Li seemed to have thought of something bad. He lowered his head, his mood clearly becoming low.
Zi Du noticed the change in Su Li's mood. He picked up some food for Su Li and did not continue asking.
The meal lasted for about fifteen minutes. The two of them did not speak anymore, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Only when the whale salamander came to report the news did the two of them stand up from the dining table.
"Young Master, a soldier reported that Lord Zhao Gao is rushing over with the Six Sword Slaves.”
Zi Du and Su Li hurriedly stood up. This news had truly given them a great fright.
"Make sure that all traces of our arrival disappear. We will leave now.”
Zi Du circulated his internal strength and instantly shattered the tiger skin he had brought over. At the same time, a mist-like thing instantly covered Zi Du and his companion.
"Right, that bowl must disappear, or else you will be in great trouble.”
The moment before the two of them disappeared. Zi Du hurriedly warned.
"Yes, this subordinate will definitely follow your teachings.”
Jing Ni bowed to the two who had disappeared, then stood up and called all the soldiers who had seen Zi Du and Zi Yan in.
"As soldiers of the empire, you should ask the young master to give up everything. I hope you don't blame me.”
After saying that, the Whale Salamander did not wait for everyone to react. A strong aura immediately surged out of its body and transformed into a blade that attacked everyone.
Almost instantly, everyone fell to the ground without making a sound.
The whale salamander did not give up. He took out a few small bottles from his sleeve, opened the lid, and poured them on the people who had fallen to the ground.
A few weak sounds were heard, followed by a pungent smell that made people unable to resist. However, the corpses of the people disappeared one by one, leaving only a few gray marks on the ground.
The whale salamander waved his hand casually, and a gust of wind blew past. The marks on the ground disappeared with the wind, and he walked out without changing his expression. It was as if nothing had happened.
After he destroyed the copper bowl, Zhao Gao appeared in front of the whale salamander with the Six Sword Slaves.
"No one passed by?"
Zhao Gao Er didn't say anything and asked the whale salamander coldly.
The whale salamander seemed to have just known that Zhao Gao was coming. It hurriedly turned around and knelt down in front of Zhao Gao,
"I deserve to die under the tree. I didn't know that the director had come. I hope master can forgive me.”
"I asked you if anyone else passed by here?”
Zhao Gao didn't care about the attitude of the whale salamander at all. The killing intent in his voice was directed at the whale salamander.
"No one passed by."
Whale Salamander didn't dare to say anything else. Regardless of whether he could cover it up or not, with his understanding of Zhao Gao, he would definitely die if he said anything more.
"Send someone out to look for experts with Taoist internal strength nearby. If you can't find them, don't come back.”
Zhao Gao smashed the copper table in front of him into pieces with one slap, like a crazy lion.
(Guess why the whale salamander tolerated Zhao Gao and why it was poisoned.)
