Chapter 108 The Huo Family Is Involuted
Huo Sanshao's words made Yun Yiduo shut up quickly. She reflected on herself and thought that maybe she didn't have enough words to curse people. It's better to poison people than to curse them. So she might as well poison them!
So, she thought about it again and again, and finally figured out what kind of poison she was going to use. She opened the medicine bottle and released the poison into the air. No one present knew that while they were teasing the little girl in the sack, they had already been tricked without realizing it.
This poison has a nice name, called a big dream. The poisoned person will have good dreams for seven consecutive days, and then will not be able to wake up. As for why she didn't use a quick-acting medicine, of course she wanted to see the real purpose of these people first! She didn't want to be a murderer, if the people here were not so vicious, she would still secretly give them the antidote.
"Miss Yun, don't worry. As long as you take the Huo family to the Yun Clan, we will never embarrass you and your sister again. We will even support you in the court and make you respected in the Central Plains."
Yun Yiduo listened quietly, and roughly understood the Huo family's idea in her heart. They just wanted to find an opportunity to enter the Yun Clan, and to enter, they had to be led by the Yun Clan. They couldn't afford to offend others, but she and her brother, who had no status and no power, were easier to deal with. Thinking of this, Yun Yiduo agreed without hesitation.
"Actually, it's just a matter of going back home. It's not impossible for me to take you with me. But, if we want to survive in the old forest, we need to prepare a lot of medicinal herbs. I can't go back without them."
"Medicine?"
"Of course! In addition to the miasma in the forest, there are also unknown obstacles and many kinds of poisonous gases. Without enough medicine, the Yun people themselves dare not leave, let alone outsiders."
Yun Yiduo spoke in a serious manner, and Young Master Huo believed it immediately. There were many doctors in the Yun clan, so the preparation of medicinal materials must be true.
"It's just that there aren't enough medicinal herbs here. Why don't you go with us, Miss Yun?"
"Hmph, I want to leave, will you let me?"
"Of course not. What Huo means is that if Miss Yun cooperates, we don't have to carry you in a sack. After all, it would be uncomfortable for you to carry you like this!"
"Okay, don't worry. I won't run away."
After the discussion, Yun Yiduo was released, but the other party didn't even dare to touch her. She didn't care about it at all, and got on the carriage prepared by the other party obediently.
The carriage was bumpy all the way, and Yun Yiduo had an attack of the poison, but she resisted the urge to let anyone notice. After a day and a night of travel, they finally arrived at another large manor. The manor looked very grand, and it seemed that the people inside were of all kinds and identities.
"where is this place?"
After Yun Yiduo got off the car, she immediately looked around. At this time, Mr. Huo came to greet her. She asked curiously.
"This is where Huo stayed when he was traveling around the world. The medicinal herbs have been prepared inside, Miss Yun can go and prepare them."
Yun Yidu nodded, and in her heart she had already severely scolded Young Master Huo.
This must be a place where Mr. Huo is in the underworld. Those who come and go inside are probably the people he recruited. If she is here, then when the time comes, it will be a legitimate reason for the brothers and sisters to come here.
Arriving at the pharmacy prepared by Mr. Huo in advance, Yun Yiduo immediately went in to fiddle with the herbs. Mr. Huo watched from the side, his eyes shining with gold.
He asked someone to check the poison in the person who was poisoned. It was a kind of poison that would turn the whole body black and make the person lose consciousness. No doctor had ever seen it before, and it was difficult to cure. It seemed that the person would die after seven days of poisoning.
Before setting off, he asked someone to find a poison master in the family and get him an antidote pill. As long as he took the antidote pill, he would not be afraid of the poison in the little girl's body. Then, he could do whatever he wanted.
He swallowed the detoxification pill while Yun Yidu was not paying attention, and quietly moved towards the girl. His intention was so obvious that Yun Yidu stopped fiddling with the herbs and just looked at him.
When Young Master Huo saw Yun Yido looking at him, a sly smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Miss Yun, are all the herbs complete? If there's anything you're missing, just tell me and I'll definitely get it for you."
"Oh, OK, I'll write you a list then."
Yun Yiduo was happy to hear that Mr. Huo was going to replenish the herbs. No matter how much they prepared, she could take it all away in one go, so why not let him prepare more? So, she picked up her pen and wrote down a bunch of herbs needed and turned to give them to Mr. Huo.
At this time, Young Master Huo had already moved close to Yun Yiduo, and he seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of orchids on the woman with his nose.
He took the list and handed it to his men to purchase without thinking, while he got closer and closer to Yun Yido.
"Isn't Mr. Huo afraid of the poison in me?"
Feeling the approach of Mr. Huo, Yun Yiduo subconsciously dodged, and a look of displeasure appeared on her face. Mr. Huo paused, his hands moved again and again, but he did not dare to move further. He stood aside and watched Yun Yiduo tinkering with the herbs.
"In fact, it's useless for you to be so cautious. If I wanted to poison you, you would have been poisoned long ago and would not have waited until today. By the way, we need to gather a lot of people to go to the Cloud Clan, otherwise we won't be able to pass through the Forest of No Return."
"Okay, Huo has already arranged for someone to come over."
Yun Yiduo was delighted when she heard this. She wanted to recruit them all so that they wouldn't have to search for them. It would be best if they could catch them all at once.
"Young Master Huo, in fact, the Huo family sent you to travel the world with no good intentions. Just like Huo Mingyu, who was nominally the heir of the Huo family, but in the end, he became the scapegoat of the Huo family."
Huo Sanshao didn't expect a little girl to tell him this. He had lived in the Huo family for many years and had seen all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. In order to gain more benefits, he did whatever he wanted in Beijing and no one dared to stop him. It was because he had the amulet of Jianghu. Although he failed to win over one or two famous and upright sects, he founded the Blood Jade Sect and recruited many small sects to join.
He was planning to use this action to gain the qualification to become the next heir. After all, after Huo Mingyu died, the position of the young master was vacant. There were only a few people who could become the next heir of the Huo family, and he was one of them.
"I didn't expect that a little girl like you knows so much."
Young Master Huo moved closer to Yun Yido again, took a deep breath, and tried to inhale the sweet fragrance of the orchid into his nose.
"Actually, I don't know. It's just a guess. The Huo family is big and powerful, so there must be many heirs. If one is gone, there will be more people scrambling to compete. It's just like doing business. Competition will produce results. As we say in our hometown, it's called internal competition to produce results. The more competition there is, the better."
“Involution?”
Mr. Huo didn't understand what the little girl said, but he roughly understood what she wanted to express, which was competition, effective competition.
"It's just that the efforts and competition keep escalating, and as the pressure keeps increasing, it generates even greater efforts and competition."
"This statement is quite interesting. It also resembles the Huo family today."
"It's conceivable that the Third Young Master is the Huo family member who is trapped in the internal circulation."
