Chapter 294 My poison is only used on bad guys
The carriage had been traveling smoothly for over a month when, one day, as it passed through a section of road with dense forests and few pedestrians, a sudden burst of urgent cries for help and shouts of abuse came from ahead.
The convoy stopped, and Yun Qingqing lifted the curtain to look over. She saw two burly men roughly dragging a young man who was tied up like a dumpling, with a rag stuffed in his mouth, and dressed in fine clothes.
Upon seeing this, Gu Ye was immediately enraged. "In broad daylight, how dare you forcibly abduct a man? Is there no law left? I'll go and uphold justice!" As he spoke, he leaped down from the carriage, his figure as swift as lightning, and quickly blocked the path of the two burly men.
"You two, let him go right now."
The two burly men's faces darkened when they saw someone blocking their way.
The burly man with a face full of scars who was holding the boy had a fierce glint in his eyes. Instead of letting go, he pulled the boy back and used him as a shield in front of him.
He glared fiercely at Gu Ye: "Where did this brat come from? You've got some nerve, daring to interfere in the City Lord's affairs. If you know what's good for you, get out of here, or don't blame my knife for being merciless."
Gu Ye arrogantly said, "I don't care about your City Lord's Mansion or anything like that. Let him go, or I'll beat you into a pig's head."
The burly man was furious when he saw Gu Ye spouting such arrogant words: "You ignorant brat, you dare to disregard the City Lord's Mansion! I'll teach you a lesson today and make you kneel on the ground begging for mercy."
He released the boy, drew the short sword from his waist, and lunged at Gu Ye.
Seeing this, Gu Ye flashed forward and charged towards the blade. He nimbly dodged the blade coming from the left, and at the same time, his right hand shot out like lightning, accurately grabbing the wrist of the big man on the right who was holding the knife, and twisting it forcefully.
With a crisp "crack," accompanied by the burly man's scream, the short knife clattered to the ground.
Gu Ye then kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying backward and curling up on the ground howling in pain.
Seeing this, his companion angrily swung his knife at Gu Ye:
"You brat, you dare hurt my second brother? I'll kill you!"
Gu Ye nimbly dodged his attack, quickly grabbed his wrist holding the knife, and forcefully twisted it towards the joint.
"Ah..." The big man screamed and let go, the knife in his hand falling to the ground.
Gu Ye immediately struck out with a palm, sending the burly man flying.
The burly man was thrown around in a daze and before he could react, Gu Ye had already stepped on his chest, rendering him unable to move.
"Is that all you've got?" Gu Ye looked down at the burly man at his feet, his face contorted in pain, and curled his lip. "How boring. I thought he was a king, but he's not even as good as a bronze."
The burly man was so angry at Gu Ye's insults that his face turned red and his neck bulged, with veins popping out on his forehead.
He roared, "You brat, I am the Third Miss of the City Lord's Mansion. If you dare to touch me, the Third Miss will never let you go. If you know what's good for you, let me go and kowtow to apologize. Maybe I can spare your dog's life."
Gu Ye didn't take his words seriously at all: "You still dare to act tough in front of me? Looks like I didn't hurt you enough."
He applied a little more pressure with his foot, and the big man immediately screamed in pain.
Gu Ye looked at Xu Ji who was walking over: "Brother Xu, give me some of those torturous pills you've been researching."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ji expressionlessly took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Gu Ye: "Here, the newly prepared 'Bone-Eating Ant Devouring Pill'. After taking it, it will feel like thousands of poisonous ants are gnawing at your bone marrow and meridians, causing unbearable pain, and you will be unable to use your internal energy, and your hair will fall out."
Gu Ye's eyes lit up immediately, and he took the porcelain bottle as if he had found a treasure: "What a treasure, Brother Xu! Your research is getting more and more ruthless. Luckily, we are not enemies, otherwise, if you used something like this against me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand it."
Xu Ji glanced at him and said, "If you ever make me angry again, I'll let you use this."
Gu Ye's expression froze instantly. He quickly took a few steps back to distance himself from him and forced a dry laugh, "Brother Xu, can you be a decent human being? We're family, family. In my heart, you're like my half-brother."
Upon seeing this, Yun Chengying, who had come over, quickly said, "Brother Xu, you are also my half-brother in my heart. You can't poison us like this."
Xu Ji smiled and said, "I only use my poison on bad people."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chengying patted his chest and said, "Then I can rest assured."
"Waaaaah..." Stop chatting and help me, the boy, who was tied up like a dumpling, cried out in his heart.
But nobody paid him any attention.
Yun Chengying urged Gu Ye, "Gu Ye, quickly feed them the poison."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ye grinned mischievously, shook the porcelain bottle in his hand, and walked up to the two terrified men.
"Young man, let's talk this out..." A burly man forced a fawning smile at Gu Ye, suppressing his fear.
"Who's your little brother? Stop trying to claim kinship with me." Gu Ye interrupted him impatiently, grabbed the burly man's chin, forced him to open his mouth, swiftly poured a black pill from the porcelain bottle, stuffed it into his mouth without a word, and then pressed hard on his Adam's apple.
With a "gulp," the pill was forced down his throat.
"Cough, cough cough..." The big man tried to gag his throat in terror, but Gu Ye casually pressed his pressure points, rendering him unable to move.
"It's your turn." Gu Ye turned his gaze to another burly man.
Seeing his companion's agonizing expression, the other burly man begged for mercy, "Young hero, spare my life! Just let me go, and I'll..."
Gu Ye was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. He pinched open his chin, stuffed the pill in, and pressed on his Adam's apple to force him to swallow.
His face suddenly turned deathly pale, and he curled up on the ground, his hands frantically scratching at his skin and clothes.
After dealing with the two burly men, Gu Ye walked over to the rescued boy, squatted down, and ripped the rag out of his mouth.
The boy gasped for breath, "I was suffocating! I can finally speak! Thank you, young man. If it weren't for your help, I would have been caught and taken back today, and that ugly she-devil would have..."
He paused here, and his expression immediately turned grim.
Gu Ye raised an eyebrow and gossiped, "What did the she-devil do to you, brother? You should finish what you were saying."
The man didn't want to talk about this topic, so he introduced himself to Gu Ye: "My benefactor, my name is Lin Feng. May I ask how you should address me?"
Gu Ye replied, "Gu Ye."
Then, out of curiosity, she asked, "How did you offend them? They said they were from the Third Miss of the City Lord's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng immediately frowned, a hint of undisguised disgust flashing across his face.
He paused for a moment, then said to Gu Ye, "The third young lady of the City Lord's Mansion took a liking to me. I ran away, but these two caught me."
He paused for a moment and then said, “Master Gu, you must not go to Tianmu City. With your appearance, you will definitely be targeted by that disgusting woman’s people. They will use insidious means to kidnap you and send you to their lawless master for his ‘amusement’.”
After listening, Gu Ye's eyes flashed with interest, and he nodded, "I understand."
Lin Feng, fearing he wouldn't listen, reminded him again: "My benefactor, you must heed my advice. Do not go to Tianmu City. People like you are very likely to be targeted by her henchmen. They are despicable and hard to guard against."
Gu Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
They had to pass through Tianmu City, which was the shortest route to the desolate wilderness to the north. If they took a detour, it would take at least half a month longer.
Lin Feng then asked, "My benefactor, where are you going? If we're going the same way, can we travel together?"
Gu Ye said, "We're going to the wilderness."
