Chapter 215 Encountering an Assassin
Yan Xuanjing snorted and said, "Who wants your poison? Come on and eat."
Bai Ji raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ah Xuan, you don't have to worry about me. These poisons are carefully prepared by me. I am very familiar with them. There is no way they will harm your body."
"Who's worried about you? Come and eat." Yan Xuanjing said expressionlessly.
Seeing his stubborn look, Bai Ji's smile grew wider. Now Ah Xuan looked much more interesting than before.
After the meal, everyone continued on the carriage to the border. When it got dark, everyone rested in an inn next to the official road.
This hotel is not big, but it is very clean and tidy.
After everyone went in, the innkeeper greeted them with a smile on his face. While greeting everyone warmly, he arranged for the waiter to take care of the horses.
"Dear guests, thank you for your hard work along the way! Although our inn is not big, it is clean and tidy. We guarantee that you will have a comfortable stay." said the innkeeper, bending over.
Gu Yunshen smiled and nodded, responding politely: "Thank you, boss. Please prepare some food and give us a few rooms." The boss quickly agreed and turned around to prepare.
Ning Sangsang and others entered the store. There were several tables of guests in the store. They all seemed to be ordinary merchants and travelers. Some were talking in low voices, while others were eating silently.
Seeing this, Bai Ji calmly approached Yan Xuanjing and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Ah Xuan, there is something wrong with these people."
Yan Xuanjing nodded slightly, his eyes became sharp, and he replied in a low voice: "Yeah."
Ning Sangsang and others also noticed that something was wrong with the guests and became more alert.
However, they didn't show it. They sat down at the table with normal expressions and chatted casually.
Soon, the shop owner came back with the food and greeted them warmly: "Dear guests, please try our special dishes."
Bai Ji had a faint smile on his face and responded with his mouth, but he quietly reached into his sleeve and took out a silver needle. While no one was paying attention, he pretended to accidentally insert the silver needle into the food delivered by the store.
As soon as the silver needle was inserted into the food, it instantly turned black. It was obvious that the food was poisoned.
Bai Ji calmly withdrew the silver needle and gave Yan Xuanjing a wink.
Yan Xuanjing understood what he meant and had already gripped the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
The others also knew that the food was poisoned, and they calmly adjusted their sitting positions so that they could draw their swords and attack more quickly.
At this moment, the "traveling merchants" who had been quiet at those tables stood up in unison as if they had received some signal.
One of them sneered and said, "Humph, now that you've discovered it, don't even think about walking out of here alive!"
After that, they drew weapons from under the table and from their waists, and surrounded the crowd with murderous intent on their faces, obviously wanting to kill them all.
At this moment, many black-clad assassins jumped down from the upper floors and surrounded everyone. For a moment, the atmosphere in the store was tense. These assassins had cold eyes full of murderous intent, and the sharp blades in their hands flashed coldly under the dim light.
Chu Aotian's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and he said loudly: "If you want to kill us, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so!"
After saying that, he held the sword and rushed towards the assassins first, engaging in a fierce battle with them.
Ning Sangsang and others saw this and started a fierce fight with the assassin.
There were also sounds of fierce fighting outside the house, and it was obvious that there were many assassins.
The assassins were determined warriors who became braver and braver as the battle went on. Even though they had wounds all over their bodies, they seemed to be free of pain and fatigue, and their attacks became more and more fierce and brutal.
Seeing this, Ning Sangsang felt that it was not a good idea to continue fighting like this. They had to lose their combat effectiveness. So Ning Sangsang took out the tranquilizer gun from the space, found the right moment and pulled the trigger at the assassin rushing towards him.
With a "whoosh", the anesthetic needle flew out and accurately pierced the shoulder of an assassin.
The assassin first groaned in pain, then his movements slowed down, and after a while, he collapsed to the ground.
Ning Sangsang's hands kept moving, aiming at the most aggressive assassins, pulling the trigger one after another, and anesthetic needles shot out like raindrops.
Those assassins who seemed like invincible cockroaches fell down like puppets with their strings cut after being hit by the anesthetic needles.
Although Chu Aotian and others were attracted by Ning Sangsang's tranquilizer gun, the situation was critical at the moment and they had no extra time to ask questions, so they all fought the assassins seriously.
Seeing that there were so many assassins and it would be too tiring to fight them, Bai Ji decided not to play the gentleman game with them. He simply took out several powerful homemade sleeping pills from his arms.
He aimed at the place where the assassins were most concentrated in the store and threw the bag of sleeping pills into the air.
Then he slapped it hard, and the drug bag burst instantly, and white powder spread around like fine smoke.
The assassins were so focused on attacking that they didn't anticipate the sudden change and inhaled the drug powder one after another.
In an instant, the assassins felt dizzy and the scenes in front of them began to become blurred.
The sharp blade in his hand could not be held steadily and fell to the ground with a clang.
Then one after another they swayed, collapsed to the ground and fainted.
Due to the small space in the store, Bai Ji made sure that the drug could cover a large area of the assassin.
Therefore, he did not control the dosage and range well when he took action, causing the drug to be inhaled by Chu Aotian and others.
Chu Aotian and others were concentrating on dealing with the assassin in front of them. They inadvertently inhaled some drugs and felt dizzy. The swords in their hands fell to the ground with a clang, and their bodies fell slowly and uncontrollably.
Soon everyone in the hall fell to the ground, except Ning Sangsang and Yan Xuanjing. They looked normal and nothing happened to them.
Bai Ji looked at Ning Sangsang and saw that she was not knocked out by his drug. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Miss Ning, how come you are okay?"
This drug was developed by him using many kinds of precious medicinal materials. It is extremely powerful. Anyone who inhales this drug will be quickly knocked unconscious no matter how powerful their martial arts skills are.
Xuan was not knocked unconscious because he was wearing a sachet that could resist the effects of the drug.
