After hearing this, Hongxiu was stunned. After a long while, she asked tremblingly.

"Whatever you want, I will do it. Please show me a way."

"Okay, okay."

Changqing reached out and took off her mask. He put his hand on her beautiful face and gently stroked it with a hint of playfulness.

"You look pretty good. It's not a bad idea to stay."

Hongxiu immediately tried her best to squeeze out a reluctant smile from her face and said flatteringly.

"Please keep me. I will definitely be obedient. I can do anything."

Changqing changed the subject and said.

"It's a pity that you have already taken the medicine, but the antidote is not in my hand. If you want to survive, you have to get the antidote yourself."

Hongxiu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and looked at Changqing eagerly.

Changqing took out a handful of spirit stones from his arms and handed them to her.

"You leave the Yuguan Mountains from the main gate overnight and go straight east for fifty miles. There is an inn fifty miles away. After you go in, report the names of the male and female demons. Naturally, the contact person will give you the antidote."

"After getting the antidote, tell him that the matter has been done. As for whether you live or die, it all depends on your own luck. By the way, I remind you that the contact person is extremely lustful. If a beauty like you knows what's good for you, it shouldn't be difficult to save your life if you use a little trick."

"But these fifty miles only take three days. How can a weak woman like me..."

Hongxiu said anxiously.

"I'll give you the money. If you want to live, you have to rely on yourself. While I'm in a good mood now, don't complain here, otherwise I won't even give you this opportunity."

Changqing's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Get out."

"I'll leave now, I'll leave now."

Hongxiu put the spiritual stones in her arms, and ran out without caring about anything else.

After Hongxiu ran away, Lan Shuang asked.

"Master, is there really an inn and a person to pick her up? You are lying to her, right?"

"How did you guess that?"

"Because there is no such thing as a male and female evil spirit. The male and female evil spirit is obviously made up by you. The person to pick her up must also be made up."

"Well, I just made it up."

"What kind of poison did you give her?"

"The first one is just a harmless licorice pill, but the second one is poison."

"Why not just dispose of it together with the body of the fat pig? Why go through so much trouble?"

Chang Qing smiled.

"Lü Jinhuan was a dissolute person. After his death tonight, the Lu family may not notice anything the next day. They will probably start looking for him the next night when they find that they can't find him."

"By then, they will definitely find out that the treasure house was stolen, and they will probably investigate it like crazy."

"And they will immediately find out that Lü Jinhuan hired Hongxiu, a prostitute from Yanyang Tower, on the night of the Moon Worship Festival, so they will start looking for Hongxiu like crazy."

"By then, Hongxiu will have been on the run for a day. If the people of the Lu family want to find Lü Jinhuan, they will definitely chase her first. Even if they are much faster, they have a The time difference is 15 days. If they want to catch Hongxiu, they have to wait until the next day. "

"But by then, Hongxiu will be dead, because the poison I gave her will not take effect in three days, but in two days."

"After this operation, it will be impossible for the Lu family to find us in three or five days. Hongxiu is a natural bait, providing us with protection."

"Three or five days... is enough for me to let everything settle down. It doesn't matter whether we are found or not."

After Changqing finished speaking, Lan Shuang looked at him with admiration.

"Master, you are really smart."

"They are just some tricks, not worth mentioning."

It's not that Changqing is too modest, he really thinks it's not worth mentioning.

But there are many details in it.

For example, why should I tell Hongxiu that the poison that takes effect in two days will take three days.

Telling her one more day is to let her have enough hope and motivation to move forward before she dies.

Including the lust shown by Chang Qing and his interest in her beauty, it was a disguised encouragement, giving her the confidence to survive.

Only in this way, she would rush on the road desperately and find a way to survive.

People are like this. As long as there is a little hope, not too much, not too little, this is when ordinary people are most vulnerable and most easily controlled.

If there is no hope, it is easy to suffer the risk of backlash.

"Then... everything is done, are you ready to go back, young master?"

Lan Shuang suddenly asked, with a tone of hesitation."Why, do you want to hang around for a while longer?"

"If it doesn't interfere with the young master's business... I... I want to stay with the young master for a while..."

After saying this, Lan Shuang lowered her head in embarrassment.

She thought Chang Qing would refuse, because in the process of getting along with each other, although Chang Qing had always been very good to her, he always put his own priorities first. There was nothing special at the moment, so she thought Chang Qing would let her go back first.

But unexpectedly, Chang Qing answered casually.

"Then let's go, it won't interfere with anything."

After saying that, he took Lan Shuang's hand directly, and the two walked side by side from the dark and remote woods back to the bustling street market.

It was already late at night, and there were not as many people in the street market as before. The Lingyu family members who were distributing free moon worship cakes on the roadside had already delivered all the cakes, and those poor people who came to get the cakes had already gone back one after another.

Maybe these cakes will be shared by countless people in the end, including lovers, bedridden elderly people, or hungry children.

Chang Qing didn't care what happened to these people.

The reason why he could stay in the market with Lan Shuang was very simple.

His realm seemed to be loosening slightly in the past two days. He hadn't absorbed the condensed frost cold marrow for a long time. If he absorbed more tonight, he might be able to raise his realm to the third level of the instant.

Although this improvement is not big, the war is imminent, and a little improvement is an insurance.

Chang Qing held Lan Shuang's hand. Soon, it was midnight, and Lan Shuang felt a familiar warmth coming from Chang Qing's hand.

"I was away these days, and the cold poison broke out. I let you bear it alone. It's hard work."

Lan Shuang blushed and shook her head repeatedly.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, that's not what I meant, Master. I... I didn't want you to help me get rid of the poison, I just wanted to stay with you more..."

"Okay, you don't need to say more."

Chang Qing just held Lan Shuang's hand tighter, urged the Devouring Spirit, and absorbed the spiritual energy transformed from the Frost Marrow.

Lan Shuang had a very strange feeling. She was already very familiar with the feeling when Chang Qing detoxified her. It was the kind of numb, warm and irresistible feeling. But now the two of them were holding hands in the street. Lan Shuang felt her legs were soft and soft for a while. She buried her head very low and somehow felt that everyone was looking at her.
