Throughout the afternoon in Plum Blossom Stronghold, Qiao Qiao was still squatting in the corner of the side yard. From time to time, he would glance at a few people who had hurried expressions before leaving the toilet together.
She hid in the shadows and smiled to herself. It seemed that the medicine given by the doctor was really effective. It had only been a short while, but there were already people running to the washroom.
"Aiyo, the person inside, how are you? You're really worried to death …" At the door of the toilet, sad and hoarse voices gradually came out.
"Soon, soon..."
"Hurry up, hurry up! There's even a queue at the back! "
Joe still looked at him coldly, only having diarrhea. This was just their beginning, and they couldn't take it anymore. How were they going to endure the rest?
She let out a soft laugh and left the boundary of the land that was formed into a long line, heading towards the rear courtyard of the mountain stronghold …
The sun set in the west, but after a while it was already time for dinner. Qiao was still carefully wandering around the courtyard where these bandits ate their supper.
The bandit's dinner was different from what he usually saw in the imperial palace. It was full of elegance and elegance, but what replaced it was a large bowl full of wine and meat.
Other than Mei Niang, who had the highest status, the rest of the people were walking around as if they were eating a buffet. There was a table filled with food for people to eat.
With such a chaotic scene, it was only natural that Qiao Qiao wanted to blend in. However, when she looked over, the man was just as she had expected. There was truly dog meat, eel, and eggs made from refined sugar.
She secretly nodded as she looked complacently at the group of bandits who did not know that a great disaster was about to befall them.
"I've starved to death, but I actually suffered from diarrhea for the entire afternoon. I wonder what unclean food I ate for lunch."
"That's right, that's right. Me too. My stomach is already empty. Let's quickly take advantage of this comfortable time to fill it up first."
Qiao Qiao still listened as the two men in front of her complained to each other. The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up as she watched the two of them gulp down large mouthfuls of dog meat.
"Boss, we've found the man's whereabouts. He's in a clinic in the east corner of Qingping County!" It was unknown who had barged in from the entrance of the Plum Blossom Stronghold, interrupting the chaotic feast.
Qiao Qiao's heart still had a bad feeling. While no one was paying attention to him, his footsteps flashed, avoiding the gazes of the crowd, and he hid in a corner.
"Alright!" Mei Niang yelled from her position in the throne, her tone rising as she spoke to the person reporting her, "Is that woman still following him?"
"Boss, I didn't find that woman." That person replied.
"You didn't find anything?" "I said that woman should be given to everyone to enjoy and never go back on your word. Qing Yuan, bring a few brothers to that hospital in Qing Ping County and bring that man and woman back!"
"Yes sir!" The man who had cupped his hands and reported to the group just now received his orders.
"Ai!" "That man is injured, I'm afraid he can't retaliate. That woman might be agile, but she doesn't have any internal energy, so it's probably more than enough to deal with the two of them, but … There is a follower by that man's side, and his martial arts are extremely high. You all must be careful in dealing with him! "
"Yes, this subordinate understands!" Qing Yuan turned around and said.
"To deal with him, you have to use wits. You must not fight him head on." Mei Niang reminded him softly.
"Yes!" Qing Yuan nodded heavily and led a group of people out of the courtyard.
Qiao Qiao still looked at her coldly from the shadows, but the corners of her lips lifted slightly. With Yan Mo Chen protecting her, there was no need for her to worry, it was just that … 'Just now, she actually set her eyes on me. Then don't blame her for being ruthless and heartless! '
"Here, continue eating!" Mei Niang waved her hand, causing the silent crowd to clamor once again.
Qiao Qiao was still hiding in the dark, coldly watching as they ate large mouthfuls of dog meat, eel and eggs made from refined sugar that she had purposely mentioned. If one were to eat just these three foods alone, they would be considered top grade delicacies.
This was also a method that Qiao Qiao had come across while he was still in the modern world. This method was more suitable for bandits with little knowledge than poison.
"Boss, have a taste of today's dog meat." A man that came out of nowhere said fawningly to Mei Niang, "The dog meat today is especially fragrant."
"Boss, the Yellow Eel today is delicious too." It was unknown who raised the eel in his hand and said to Mei Niang.
"Dog meat?" Mei Niang frowned, then spoke up again as if she didn't hear him clearly, "You're talking about dog meat and eel?"
If it wasn't for the group of people reminding her, Mei Niang would still be immersed in her own food. This food did not seem to have any problems, it was just that … Her peerless eyebrows couldn't help but tighten as she spat out the piece of dog meat she hadn't swallowed. She immediately stood up and shouted:
"Don't eat anymore, the dishes are poisonous!"
After being called out by Mei Niang, all the people in the village who were calmly eating tonight stopped what they were doing. They were stunned for no more than half a second, and then they heard the entire courtyard fiercely sip the food.
"Someone, send the kitchen over!" Mei Niang's expression was cold. She seemed to have thought of something as she shouted towards the crowd.
Qiao Qiao was still startled. Could it be that Mei Niang saw through her scheme?
"Owehh ~" Before the kitchen came in, the people in the crowd started vomiting. White foam was spat out from their mouths as they swallowed for no reason.
"The food is really poisonous!" It was unknown who shouted, but the people in the courtyard began to clamor, and became restless.
Mei Niang frowned and could only watch as the people in the yard left one after the other.
"Boss, the kitchen is here!"
In the center of the courtyard, an older woman was kneeling on the ground with a terrified expression.
"Let me ask you, how did you cook tonight's meal?" Mei Niang's face was tense as she asked the chef impolitely.
"Boss, I'm still the same as usual." The kitchen was sweating and nodding.
"Why did you make dog meat and eel?" Mei Niang's usual seductive and seductive appearance had changed, and a hint of malevolence appeared between her brows.
"It was the Great Master who sent someone to say that we are going to eat dog meat and eel for dinner." The kitchen was surprised for a moment, then opened his mouth.
"Did I send someone?" Mei Niang frowned slightly, "Who went there?"
"I …" I don't know him either. " The kitchen owner's face was filled with anxiety.
"Then if you were to see him again, would you know him?" Mei Niang raised her eyebrows.
The kitchen owner slightly lowered his head, sinking into a state of death. Then, he raised his head suddenly and nodded towards Mei Niang. "Yes!"
"Alright, then you should go down and take a look. Is it among these people?" Mei Niang gently waved her hand, and her tone of voice returned to calmness.
"Yes …" "Yes," the kitchen guard answered shakily, then he stood up and looked at the faces of everyone in the courtyard.
Everyone was scared. No matter who it was, if the chef pointed the finger at them then they would die.
She looked at the faces of the people around her carefully. Then she shook her head and moved on to the next one.
With a smile that was not a smile, Mei Niang followed the chef's steps, her questioning gaze lingering on the faces of everyone present.
Although Qiao Qiao was still hiding in the dark, she was able to notice with a glance the man that she had grabbed at noon today.
At this moment, he was trembling all over, and his face was pale. He could not help but curl up, afraid that the kitchen would see him.
The kitchen was a dozen or so steps away from him, and he was already sweating, rubbing his palms.
Qiao Qiao still frowned. This guy's mental fortitude was really low.
"It's him! It's him!" The chef grabbed one of the men and brought him to Mei Niang.
However, he was also scared stiff. Seeing that the chef had already pulled out a person, although he was scared, he was not scared out of his wits and became lost in thought, so much so that he revealed himself.
"The boss isn't me, not me." The man forcefully pulled out kowtowed frequently and spoke to Mei Niang.
The corner of Mei Niang's eyes swept across the people in the courtyard, but her gaze did not rest on the man kneeling on the ground.
Qiao Qiao's heart still trembled. Could it be that she saw through this man's falsehood?
"Qinghe, come out." Mei Niang ignored the men kneeling in the courtyard and instead called out to one of the people.
Qiao Qiao continued to follow with his eyes, only to see that the man she was using actually walked out with a face full of fear.
The corner of her lips curled up slightly. It seemed that she had still discovered her thoughts. This woman's thoughts really couldn't be underestimated.
"Why are you sweating so much?" While Mei Niang looked concerned, she actually asked with a hint of concern.
"Lao …" Boss, I … "I'm hot …" The man called Qing He replied with a trembling voice.
"Oh, Chef, do you know this man?" Mei Niang turned to the kitchen and asked.
The kitchen owner thoughtfully stared at Qinghe's face for a long time before suddenly shouting out loud, "Boss, the person who came to deliver the message today was him —" She pointed at Qinghe, speaking with determination.
"Oh? Didn't you just say that it was this man? " Mei Niang's eyebrows slightly bent, her face full of smiles as she looked at him.
"Boss, I was wrong …" The kitchen driver lowered his head.
"Did I see wrongly this time?" Mei Niang raised her eyebrows.
"No, I can guarantee that it won't happen this time. It's him!" the kitchen man insisted.
