Unparalled Medicine King

Under the dim light, the two of them sat on the left and right side of the bed.    

    

Xiaoju had stopped crying, but the redness in her eyes had yet to fade.    

    

Soong Tianxuan looked at Xiaoju with discomfort in his heart. "It's all my fault. If I had not gone out to sell fish and stayed at home instead, they definitely wouldn't have dragged you here."    

    

Xiaoju shook her head, "These are all bandits, each one vicious and ruthless. Even if you were there on that day, you wouldn't be able to escape this kind of situation. Little Zhu, listen to me. Leave this place quickly. When we get back, you must take good care of Father and Mother for me, please! "    

    

"No!" Soong Tianxuan shook his head, "I came this time to bring you and those kidnapped girls back. If you don't come with me, then I will stay here too!"    

    

"Little Zhu, I'm usually the one causing trouble, why is it your turn now?"    

    

Xiaoju was indeed childish, but after staying in the bandit's nest for the past few days, she understood clearly that no one would spoil her anymore. Instead, they would think about things as they were. In just one night, she had grown up.    

    

"I'm not messing around, I really want to bring you guys back!"    

    

"You …"    

    

Xiaoju sighed. "Nameless" had a very good temper, but once he decided on something, even a few oxen wouldn't be able to pull him back.    

    

She could only say, "Then you must be careful. Don't let those people bully you!"    

    

Xiaoju knew that these Mountain Thieves would kill without batting an eyelid. If they were to provoke them, they would definitely make you wish you were dead.    

    

Soong Tianxuan nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry. Although they are bandits, I also have the chance to stay here. I definitely won't let them bully you or those girls in the village."    

    

They were in the stronghold, so it was inconvenient for them to talk too much. They were people that had to be on guard outside the stronghold at all times.    

    

In order to be conservative, it was better to separate them first.    

    

After Soong Tianxuan bid farewell to Xiaoju, a man groped his way towards his tent. Just as he was about to arrive, he heard two men's voices coming from the woods beside him.    

    

He stopped and curiously leaned in that direction. Squinting his eyes, he looked into the forest and saw the second brother standing together with the third brother. He seemed to be plotting something.    

    

As they got closer, Ol 'Three's voice could be heard, "Second Brother, Big Brother's power is already gone. In the future, I still need to rely on you. Don't be soft-hearted at all times."    

    

The second brother frowned, "You really want to do this?"    

    

"Second brother, don't you understand? Mr Hu isn't suitable to be the boss, and you still want to suffer under him? Don't forget! Back then, when the "Three People's Gang" was established, the credit went to both of us. He purely sat on the sidelines and did everything because he was strong. We were unable to do anything to him, which was why we made him a big brother. Second Brother, don't you want to be in that position? "    

    

The eyes of Ol 'Three lit up and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.    

    

"Alright, it's been quite a while since Mr Hu has sat in this position. It's time for us two brothers to enjoy this place …"    

    

When Soong Tianxuan heard this, he was shocked.    

    

So it turned out that the stronghold was not peaceful either. The second and third brothers were gathered together, wanting to overthrow their boss, Mr Hu, and become king.    

    

The more he heard, the more he felt cold. Sweat dripped down his back. This was a place he could not leave, so he decided to go first.    

    

Soong Tianxuan took a few steps back. "Pa!" He accidentally cut off a wooden branch.    

    

This is bad!    

    

Soong Tianxuan quickly left.    

    

"Who is it!"    

    

The second and third brothers turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a figure floating past them.    

    

The third brother's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the third brother in panic and said, "This is going to be troublesome. Could it be that my brother's men heard about it?"    

    

Third Bro's body was emitting a cold aura. He walked forward and saw the broken piece of wood and the messy footprints on the ground. Then, he frowned.    

    

"Second brother, I know who it is. Leave this matter to me."    

    

"Hmm …"    

    

After Soong Tianxuan returned to his room, he quickly calmed down, adjusted his breathing, and got into bed naked.    

    

Just as he lay down, he heard a knock on the door.    

    

Who else could it be at this late hour?    

    

Casually putting on some clothes, he walked out, drowsily opened the door, and saw the third brother in white standing there, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. In his hand was a bowl of glistening yellow liquid.    

    

Soong Tianxuan pretended to be confused and asked in confusion: "Third brother, what happened? Why are you looking for me? "    

    

Ol 'Three walked into the room and placed the bowl on the table. "Is sleeping here comfortable?"    

    

"Yes!" Soong Tianxuan nodded. "Before, we were out in the open, but now, there's a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Why aren't you satisfied?"    

    

"That's good."    

    

Ol 'Three smiled and pushed the bowl on the table.    

    

"This is the antidote. You drank so much tonight, I made it especially for you."    

    

There was no need to be courteous. It was either adultery or theft.    

    

Soong Tianxuan thought in his heart. He didn't have much of an expression on his face, but he still replied with a smile: "It's the middle of the night, you have to pee when drinking a big bowl. Why don't you wait for me to drink again tomorrow?"    

    

"It's still hot now, but it won't be any use when we wake up in the day. Not treating me as my second brother? "    

    

This time, he was in a dilemma!    

    

Soong Tianxuan had no choice but to pick up the bowl. He hesitated for a moment and then smiled, "Is this the wine dissolving unit?"    

    

"Right."    

    

"It tastes a little boiled, but there's some saccharin in it. It tastes pretty good."    

    

"Has third brother ever had a drink?"    

    

Ol 'Three shook his head. "I didn't drink too much, so there's no need to drink this. It's better if you, little brother, drink it."    

    

Soong Tianxuan knew he couldn't hide any longer, so he breathed out in gratitude before gulping it down cleanly.    

    

He wiped his mouth and frowned.    

    

"Second brother, this soup doesn't taste too good."    

    

Ol 'Three slowly stood up and slowly let out a sigh. He smiled and said, "That's right, with the seven-step powder added on, the taste naturally won't be any better."    

    

Seven steps scattered?    

    

What was that?    

    

Soong Tianxuan was puzzled, but the next moment, his abdominal pain allowed him to quickly understand what the Seven Step Powder was. To put it bluntly, it was poison!    

    

The intense pain hit his whole body. Soong Tianxuan's legs went soft and he fell to the ground. His left hand covered his stomach and he was in pain as if there was a knot.    

    

He raised his head to look at Third Brother and asked in puzzlement, "Wh-why?"    

    

"You overheard my conversation with Third Bro. Do you think you should die?"    

    

"You!"    

    

Soong Tianxuan didn't have the strength to talk anymore. The pain made his hands and feet go soft. He felt a sweet and fishy feeling in his throat. Then, scarlet blood spurted out from his mouth.    

    

The third brother sighed, "I have no other choice. This matter can't be revealed, so you can only die."    

    

Blood dripped from the corner of Soong Tianxuan's mouth. He slowly raised his head and looked at the cruel and merciless man in front of him. His bloodshot eyes stared for a moment before he slowly closed his eyes...
