Chapter 94: Caiyun Inn at the foot of Zhalong Mountain, poisoned by Wuding Jinxian Tea

Fortunately, there were no more falling rocks when the stones were being moved.

Hubayi then drove forward, and the group drove on the rugged mountain road for half a day before arriving at the foot of Zhalong Mountain.

There is an inn at the foot of Zhalong Mountain, which is the Caiyun Inn mentioned in the original book.

This inn is specially designed to accommodate the horse caravans and tea dealers that come here, so there is no village nearby. The owner is a young widow, and she has a girl of about sixteen or seventeen to help her.

The girl's name was Peacock. She was the proprietress's sister-in-law. She had big eyes and looked pretty and lovely. After seeing Su Mo and his group, her big eyes kept wandering around Su Mo, Zhang Qiling and Shirley Yang. After all, she had never seen such a beautiful person in Zhalong Mountain.

"Brother, where are you from?"

Fatty Wang saw that Kong Que was pretty and charming, so he couldn't help but flirt with her:
"We...are from the capital!"

When Peacock heard that they were from the capital, his eyes widened:
"Then you must often go to places like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, and you can watch the flag-raising ceremony every day?"

At that time, there were no televisions in many places in southern Yunnan, and Kong Que only heard from passers-by that the capital had the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, and that flag-raising ceremonies were held there every day, so he yearned for the capital.

The fat man grinned and said:

"Yes, my home is not far from Tiananmen Square. I can watch the flag-raising ceremony every morning when I open the window!"

The fat man's words were pure bragging and nonsense, but Peacock seemed to believe them and his eyes were full of envy.

The fat man said again:

"Little Peacock, do you want to go to the capital? How about going to the capital with my brother as a guest later?"

Peacock curled his lips and glanced at his widowed sister-in-law secretly:

"I'm afraid that won't work! My sister-in-law won't let me run around!"

After saying that, he looked at Su Mo again, his eyes smiling like a crescent moon:
"This handsome man, do you also live in Tiananmen Square?"

Su Mo smiled and said:
"I don't live there, but if you want to see it, I can take you there!"

"Okay!"

When Peacock heard this, he couldn't help but clap his hands excitedly, with an expression that looked eager to try.

Beside him, Huba couldn't help but quietly poked Fatty Wang:
"See? You said you wanted to take her to the capital, but she said her sister-in-law wouldn't allow it. But when Master said he wanted to take her, she agreed right away!"

Fatty Wang couldn't help but sigh:

"I can't help it. My master is more handsome than me. It turns out that handsome people are popular everywhere!"

Shirley Yang, who was standing aside, kept smiling and didn't care about the conversation between Su Mo and Peacock. After all, the girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old, the age of a high school student in the city. Even the fat man was just teasing her, and no one would think anything else.

At this time, two lean and dark-skinned men came into the inn. Their clothes looked similar to those of the people nearby, and they were carrying two large bamboo baskets full of tea on their backs.

A kind of tea called "Mist-top Golden Line Fork" is produced nearby. It is said that it is brewed with water flowing down from the snow line. Each piece of tea looks like it is made of gold and is very precious. Therefore, at this time of year many tea dealers go to the mountains to purchase tea.

The two tea vendors were both in their thirties or forties and looked very honest. After coming in, they greeted Su Mo and the others warmly and took off their backpacks.

Soon it was evening, the proprietress prepared rice and some simple dishes, and Fatty Wang took out the white wine and beef jerky he had brought for everyone to eat together, and also brought some wine and food to the two tea vendors, and asked them about the situation of Zhalong Mountain. The two tea vendors were not polite, and after taking the wine and food, they said that this was their first time to come here to collect tea, so they were not very familiar with Zhalong Mountain.

After listening to this, Su Mo just looked at them silently but didn't say anything.

After finishing their meal quickly, Su Mo and the others returned to their rooms.

Before he went to bed, he heard a knock on the door. When Huba opened the door, he saw two tea vendors who took out the tea they had collected, soaked it with boiling water and brought it to the room of Su Mo and others. They said that Huba and others wanted to treat them to a drink today, but he didn't have anything good, so he treated them to tea with the Mist Top Gold Thread Tea he had collected.

However, after brewing this kind of Mist-Top Gold Thread Tea, each tea leaf is as bright as gold, and a mellow fragrance fills the nose.

After Hubayi and Fatty Wang thanked them, they turned around and were about to drink tea, but Su Mo suddenly patted them lightly and said in a deep voice:
"Be careful, the tea is poisonous!"

Hubayi and the others were just about to drink tea, but after hearing Su Mo's words, they were all shocked.

There is no strange smell in this tea, and no impurities can be seen. How can it be poisonous?

Su Mo whispered:
"This is not an ordinary poison, it is a cyanide, which is completely colorless and odorless!"

At this point, he sneered:
"These two people look like tea dealers, but they are not familiar with Zhalong Mountain. The tea they brought is poisonous. They are obviously targeting us! The rockfall on the cliff today was probably caused by them!"

"what!"

Huba and the others were all shocked again.

Today, everyone encountered falling rocks on the mountain road. Although Hubayi and his friends found it strange, they did not expect that someone did it on purpose.

"I'm going to kill them right now!"

Fatty Wang gritted his teeth in hatred, picked up his pistol and prepared to rush out.

Su Mo shook his head and said:
"Don't be impulsive. Let's wait for them to come over. There is a high possibility that there are more than just these two people!"

Hubayi and the others understood immediately, and after they smiled knowingly at each other, Fatty Wang suddenly covered his stomach and shouted exaggeratedly:

"Ouch! Why does my stomach hurt? I'm afraid the food I ate today wasn't clean enough!"

Huba Yi also said:

"Yeah, my stomach hurts for no apparent reason!"

The two men shouted a few times and threw the tea bowls beside them to the ground, making a few noises. Then, several people lay or crouched on the table, pretending to have died from poison.

As several people pretended to fall to the ground due to the poison, the room suddenly became silent.

After a while, the door was pushed open a crack, and a tea vendor poked half of his head in from outside. After looking around the room, he pushed the door open and walked in.

There was another tea vendor following behind, both holding short knives in their hands. They walked into the house with vigilant expressions. Suddenly, they stabbed Zhang Qiling and Su Mo who were lying outside with their knives. They were afraid that everyone was cheating, so they stabbed them again to test the situation.

Just as the tip of the knife was about to stab the two men, Su Mo and Zhang Qiling suddenly turned over and grabbed the two men's right wrists holding the knives. At the same time, they crossed their legs and wrapped them around their lower limbs. They instantly stretched out their left hands to grab their necks and pressed them directly to the ground.

Although the two men also had martial arts skills, Su Mo and Zhang Qiling acted so quickly that they didn't even have time to utter a cry of surprise!
