Chapter 173 Leaving Southern Xinjiang
Chapter 173 Leaving Southern Xinjiang
In the main tent of the Southern Xinjiang military camp, General Pei slammed his hand on the table and asked again, "Tell me, what kind of poison did you use, and where did you put it?"
At this time, the old Taoist Wu Sha, who was kneeling on the ground with a bruised face and nose after being beaten by Jin Dou and Song Yujiao, acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water and did not say a word.
"Old Taoist, do you think we won't know anything if you don't tell us?" Jindou walked up to Taoist Wusha and sneered, "In fact, we already know everything now. The people in southern Xinjiang who were poisoned have all taken the antidote."
"Impossible," Taoist Wusha looked at Jindou and said, "You must be deceiving me. There is no antidote for this poison."
"No antidote?" Jindou sneered at Master Wusha and said, "That's because there's no antidote for you, but for me, it's easy to solve."
"I'm asking you, did you throw the poison into that river?" Jindou stared at the old Taoist Wusha and asked.
"How did you find out?" Taoist Wusha asked in disbelief. "That poison is colorless and odorless, so it's impossible for people to detect it. How did you know?"
"Not only do I know that you threw the poison into the river, I also know that one of the ingredients in your poison is Ziyang Grass. What do you think? Am I right or wrong?" Jindou said, looking straight at the old Taoist Wusha.
"Impossible, impossible!" Taoist Wu Sha stared with his gray eyes and screamed wildly.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he pointed at Pei Shaofeng and shouted to Jindou, "Did you heal his eyes? Did you also reconnect his tendons? Are you...are you a human or a god?"
"That's right, I am a god sent down to earth, specially to deal with you cruel, vicious, inhumane demons and monsters." Jindou looked at the Taoist Wusha and sneered, "You use poison to kill loyal and innocent people. Such heinous crimes, how can God forgive you!"
"After you die, you will be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell, subjected to extreme torture, and will never be reincarnated!"
“No, no,” Taoist Wu Sha collapsed to the ground, his face pale and trembling, “I can’t go to hell, I can’t go to hell.”
Suddenly, he crawled a few steps to the foot of the golden bean, hugged the golden bean's ankles with both hands, and wailed, "Please, gods, save me, don't let me..."
Before the Taoist Wu Sha could utter the three words "Go to hell", Wei Qing, who was standing next to him, stepped forward and kicked the Taoist hard in the body. The Taoist Wu Sha screamed "Ouch" and fell to the ground.
"Uncle," Jindou said, cupping his hands and addressing General Pei, "This old Taoist priest is vicious and has harmed countless people. He must not be allowed to stay any longer!"
General Pei nodded and said to Pei Shaofeng, "This man has done you great harm. You will be the one to deal with him today."
"Yes," Pei Shaofeng clasped his fists and shouted outside, "Someone come!"
Two soldiers came in from outside in response.
"Take it away!" Pei Shaofeng waved his hand.

At night, Jindou and Song Yujiao were lying on the bed, talking.
"Jindou, you are so awesome. It turns out that you saved your elder brother." Song Yujiao only found out today that Jindou had treated Pei Shaofeng. She felt grateful and admired Jindou.
"It's just average, just average," Jindou said modestly.
"Jindou, you can detoxify, so you must be able to make poison too." Song Yujiao glared at Jindou with her almond-shaped eyes and said, "Why don't you make some poison too? Get it to the Southern Yi barbarians and poison them to reduce their strength. That would help the Pei family army defeat them in one fell swoop."
"No," Jindou shook his head and said, "Our Jin family has an ancestral motto: you can only detoxify, not create poisons. When I was very young, my grandfather repeatedly told me that I must never create poisons at any time."
"Is that so?" Song Yujiao shook her head with some regret. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked quickly, "I heard from General Pei that you and Lord Wei are getting married too?"
"Yes," Jindou nodded. "My second brother didn't want to do it, but I kept pestering him, and my mother forced him to do it. He had no choice but to agree."
"You are so persistent, Jindou. Your second brother has a bad temper. How could you like him?" Song Yujiao shook her head.
"Because I don't want to get married, and I don't want to leave Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so I rely on my second brother."
Jin Dou lowered his voice and said to Song Yujiao, "You know, I finally understand why my second brother has never gotten married."
"Why?" Song Yujiao asked with interest.
"Because my second brother is the kind of person who doesn't like women. He has no feelings for women at all." Jin Dou looked at Song Yujiao and said, "You don't know, when I first told my second brother that I wanted to marry him, he almost killed me."
"Jindou, wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to marry your second brother? What if he regrets it one day..." Song Yujiao said worriedly.
"Don't worry," Jindou waved his hand. "If we really get married, then I'll be safe. Think about it, I'll be his legal wife by then, so how can he kill me?"
"That's right," Song Yujiao nodded, thought for a moment, and then said to Jindou, "Jindou, since you're out now, why don't you come with me to Qianzhou tomorrow to spend a couple of days? My mother misses you very much."
"Okay." Jindou thought about it and agreed without hesitation. His second brother was in the manic period before getting married. He must be annoyed to death seeing him every day. It would be better for him to go out and play for two days so that he wouldn't have to see him and wouldn't be annoyed.

Early the next morning, Wei Qing and Jindou bid farewell to General Pei and his son. Song Yujiao also said goodbye to Pei Shaofeng. The three of them mounted their horses and left the Pei army camp together.
"Golden Bean!" Song Yujiao shouted on the horse.
"Hmm?" Jindou turned to look at Song Yujiao. Seeing that she was winking at him, he suddenly remembered something. He turned his head to look at Wei Qing behind him and said, "Second brother, Song Yujiao and I have agreed that we want to go to Qianzhou for a few days."
After saying this, Jindou thought Wei Qing would agree immediately, but unexpectedly, Wei Qing's face suddenly turned dark, and a cold air pressure quickly hit Jindou from behind.
"It seems you have forgotten what your mother said when you left home." Wei Qing said word by word in a voice as cold as ice behind Jindou.
"Huh? What my mother said?" Jindou was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered what his mother told him when he left home this time.
Before coming to Southern Xinjiang, Xu repeatedly told Jindou to return home as soon as he had resolved the issues in Southern Xinjiang so as not to worry his family. At that time, Jindou nodded repeatedly and agreed.
Thinking that he had already promised his mother, he couldn't go back on his word. Jin Dou quickly waved to Song Yujiao behind him and said, "I promised my mother that I would go back early, so I won't go to Qianzhou."
