Chapter 901: Chapter 901 Analysis_1 Chapter 901: Chapter 901 Analysis_1 “A drug that causes unbearable itching, making one wish to cut off the flesh it afflicts. It will take effect after three days. By then, the Emperor Eritus’s dispatched personnel should have arrived, and he can’t escape,” Tong Sanlang said with a flicker of smugness in his expression.
Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but click her tongue, “Young man, you’re quite sothing. But where did you get this drug? I’ve never heard you ntion it.”
Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang glanced at her, his tone nonchalant, “After all, I once served as the young master of Tingfeng Pavilion; naturally, I would have so things that decent folk shouldn’t possess.”
“I didn’t tell you before because I didn’t see a use for it.”
Why talk about poison, it ruins the mood.
Seeing the small look of triumph on Tong Sanlang’s handso face, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but laugh as well, “You’ve got potential.”
“Of course, as a troublemaker who once considered rebellion his life’s work, I do have so level of vigilance,” Tong Sanlang said with a restrained smile.
Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t resist reaching out to pat his arm, “I want to hug you and give you a kiss.”
The unwitting cuteness that Tong Sanlang revealed was truly tempting her.
After hearing her words, Tong Sanlang coughed softly twice, his gaze drifting to Director Gu coming their way, and said, “Director Gu is coming.”
Qiao Xiaomai, upon hearing this, quickly turned to look toward Director Gu.
Director Gu, with his hands clasped behind his back, sauntered over to the pair and said, “It’s getting dark; Sanlang, take a few n to the mountain to chop so firewood. We can’t be without firewood tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang nodded, “Alright.”
Director Gu had his reasons for deceiving everyone.
Now that Director Gu had given an order, Tong Sanlang would just follow it.
However, he still wanted to clear up the doubts in his mind.
He asked, “Director, I want to inquire whether the decision to go hunting today was prearranged by the students?”
If Yuanbao did it on purpose, then the person who suggested hunting today was very suspicious.
With hundreds of people flocking to the manor, he and Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t possibly look after every area.
This gave Yuanbao a perfect opportunity.
Of course, Yuanbao’s master Qiu Ying was the most suspicious.
But Tong Sanlang had just inquired, and although Qiu Ying was a man of no great ambition, his reason for studying here was to make connections with so nobles, facilitating his family’s business.
Such a person did not seem like soone who would collude with Yang Wang and Cen Hong.
“It was decided the first ti it snowed. The snowfall was too light then, so everyone agreed to co over when there was a heavy snowfall. This morning, when we saw the heavy snow, everyone ca over,” Director Gu explained.
“Do you rember who specifically suggested it?” Tong Sanlang asked.
Director Gu pondered, his face thoughtful, “I didn’t pay much attention to that.”
Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang pursed his lips, “Alright, then I’ll go gather so firewood.”
He went to find Fan Linong and asked to borrow a few n from him. They couldn’t use their own coachn and servants anymore, so he had no choice but to borrow Fan Linong’s subordinates.
After a heavy snowfall, everything was covered in snow, and picking up firewood was not an easy task. Tong Sanlang lacked the patience to linger on the mountain, so he straightforwardly chopped down several dozen trees, threw them onto the horse cart, and hauled them back.
At ho, there was already so dry firewood. Mixing the wet and dry, they would make do with burning it. As long as no one froze to death, it was fine.
It was destined to be a sleepless night. The students huddled inside the horse carriages while their coachn and servants kept vigil around the fire.
As Director Gu was advanced in age, Fan Linong offered his own room for him to stay.
Without any hesitation, Director Gu promptly went to sleep in the room after nightfall.
