Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 345 is poisonous!

By this time, it was getting close to evening.

The carriage from Prince Qi's Mansion has just arrived at the hot spring villa on the outskirts of Beijing.

Mingzhu returned to her hometown, jumped out of Yu Qinghuan's sleeves, and ran away without a trace left.

Changsun Tao took Yu Qinghuan to the house where he usually lived. It was completely new, and even there was an extra pillow.

Seeing Yu Qinghuan about to leave the room, Chang Sun Tao quickly said: "The other places have not been cleaned up, how about we make do here tonight?"

Yu Qinghuan responded to him: "I'm not leaving, I just smelled a strange smell and wanted to look around."

"Taste?" Changsun Tao wondered, "What does it taste like?"

Yu Qinghuan sniffed hard and finally said: "Orchid, do you smell it?"

Changsun Tao calmed down, sniffed the smell in the air, and sure enough he smelled a vague floral fragrance: "It's an orchid, that's right."

Yu Qinghuan ran out of the house with her skirt in hand, found a small hoe, and carried a small basket on her back. She took Chang Sun Tao's hand and climbed back up the mountain following the scent of flowers.

Yu Qinghuan was sweating profusely while crawling, pushing aside countless dead shrubs and thorns, and finally found the orchid blooming in the frost under a clump of female dill.

The flowers are beautiful in color and the leaves are green.

The plump green leaves have smooth lines and uniform color. Two flower branches are surrounded by green leaves, each with five flowers.

The best thing is that these flowers come in different colors, including light green, light yellow, water red, pink blue, white and other elegant colors, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"We found a treasure," Yu Qinghuan pointed to the orchid and turned to Chang Sun Tao, "Look, it's blooming just right. We can dig it back and plant it in the corridor."

Changsun Tao drew out the soft sword from his waist, cut off the female radish plant, then pushed the branch aside, and then said: "Be careful when digging, don't hurt your hands."

"Yeah!" Yu Qinghuan responded crisply, getting ready to dig up orchids.

Unexpectedly, a white shadow flashed by, and Mingzhu had already rushed forward, holding the orchid and devouring it. He quickly devoured the orchid, then lay down with his belly in his arms, revealing his pink belly.

"Is it poisonous?" Yu Qinghuan held the small hoe in disbelief.

Changsun Tao said in surprise: "You can't figure out what this is?"

Yu Qinghuan put the hoe into the basket: "I can't tell, what is going on?"

Changsun Tao pushed aside the branches and dry grass, pulled her to his side, and picked off the grass clippings on her body, and then said: "Maybe it mutated accidentally, but it has been eaten by the Pearl anyway, don't worry about it, let's go back. "

"Yeah!" Yu Qinghuan nodded and put the small hoe into the basket, "Let's go back."

Changsun Tao took the basket and slung it on his shoulder, holding Yu Qinghuan's hand with one hand. The two walked to the annex, the pearl waving three times at a time, and following behind them with his round belly hanging.

Behind the tall cypress tree, the afterimage flashed past and let out a sneer.In the annex room, Yu Qinghuan picked up the pearl, flicked its belly, and put it aside: "If I read it correctly, this plant comes from southern Xinjiang like the poison arrow tree. I once wrote about it in an ancient journal I have seen similar records in the book, and the locals call it 'Poison Orchid'."

Changsun Tao said: "There are two different colors of soil on the soles of our shoes. After that, King Yamamoto often went there, and the color changes of the soil have long been deeply rooted in his heart. But where the poisonous orchid grew just now, although it was covered with dead branches and leaves, You can see that the soil is obviously yellower than the surrounding areas.”

Yu Qinghuan's fingers tapped lightly on the small table: "Did he deliberately mislead us that the poisonous arrow tree matter is related to southern Xinjiang, or is it related to there in the first place."

Changsun Tao said: "It can't be related to Southern Xinjiang. There are many reasons. First of all, Southern Xinjiang is a place where barbarians gather, but those barbarians are not barbaric. They are just uneducated. In order to protect themselves, they often use some violent methods. That's why they are called the 'barbarian' tribe. In fact, they have no ambition to invade Daqin at all. Think about it, throughout the ages, only people from the land of Daqin have gone to 'quell the rebellion' in Southern Xinjiang, and no Southern Xinjiang has taken the initiative to invade. However, Northern Qi, Xirong, and Dongyi harassed them from time to time."

"Secondly, even if Southern Xinjiang really has the ambition to invade Da Qin, they do not have the military strength, and it is even more difficult to extend their hands to Da Qin and disrupt Qizhou."

"Thirdly, if the southern Xinjiang tribes knew more about the uses of Poison Arrow Wood, they would not be helpless under the swords of the Qin soldiers."

"So I believe that the mastermind behind these incidents should have nothing to do with Southern Xinjiang."

Everything seemed to be directed at Chang Sun Tao. Yu Qinghuan seemed to catch something in his mind, but it quickly disappeared.

Finally, Yu Qinghuan asked Changsun Tao: "Zhaohua, can Xue Wei be trusted?"

Changsun Tao said: "Xue Wei is a genius discovered by Liu Tingye. I wanted to dedicate it to my king, but you got there first. People's hearts are fickle, and I won't make any guarantee that he will always be trustworthy, but he is a very caring person. Sister, I believe that for Chan'er, he will not betray you."

Yu Qinghuan was slightly shocked. It turned out that Xue Wei was the person Liu Tingye prepared for Changsun Tao. Before, she thought it was strange that a capable person like Xue Wei only worked as a small catcher in Pingcheng, but she didn't expect that he was actually a small catcher in Pingcheng. Just carefully selected people.

Changsun Tao decisively gave it to him.

This man!Although he has a cold face and a warm heart, he is actually a kind person at heart.

Yu Qinghuan turned her head and looked at him, the smile in her eyes was as bright as the spring sun: "Zhaohua, let Xue Wei follow you. His five senses are extraordinary. According to his ability, he can also discover those things if he is by his side. The wolves that surround us."

Changsun Tao stretched out his hand and flicked the end of her nose: "Xue Wei's abilities may have been discovered by his opponents. He is very business-savvy, so let him follow Bai Li and help you earn more for your private life."

Yu Qinghuan rubbed her nose and smiled: "I used to save my personal money just to run away when you don't need me, but now, I no longer have the worldly desire to make a lot of money."

Changsun Tao said: "Silver is needed at any time. Maybe I will be able to rely on you for support one day in the future."

Yu Qinghuan patted his face and said with a smile: "At that time, did you call me Niangzi or Niang?"

Changsun Tao grabbed her hand and held it, saying word by word: "My wife, my eternal wife."

When the two said these words, it was indeed just a joke. Who knew that one day the words would come true, but it would be a while later.

Yu Qinghuan withdrew his clenched hand and said, "Let's get down to business. Don't be so glib all the time. Is there anyone ambushing around us just now? With my three-legged cat skills, I can't hear anything."

Changsun Tao poured himself a cup of tea, brought it to his mouth and took a sip: "A-Ling has already gone after him."
