This is not all. The pain aside, his body couldn’t move, and he couldn’t make a sound. It was as if a wave of pain was trapped inside his body, but there was no way to vent it, and he couldn’t find a way to distract himself.
Yuan Gui and ng Qi looked at him, puzzled by his reaction. Apart from the pained expression on his face, there seed to be no other reaction.
No, there was sothing else. Large beads of sweat were pouring down his forehead, his veins stood out in stark relief, his eyes were bloodshot as if he was exerting great effort to restrain himself, but he couldn’t.
The sight made Yuan Gui and ng Qi’s hairs stand on end, and they hurriedly looked away.
ng Yunzheng watched with a slight smile on his face. When ng Qi saw that smile, he inexplicably shivered.
In the past, hearing about his exploits felt distant and unreal, but at this mont, ng Qi suddenly realized that soone who had endured humiliation and burdens for over a decade couldn’t possibly be as gentle as he usually seed.
He, he, he seed to have provoked him before.
ng Qi quickly lowered his head, then quietly glanced at Shu Yu. His cousin revealing this side of himself in front of his future sister-in-law—wasn’t he afraid she’d be scared?
Shu Yu spoke, "It’s probably enough. If he can’t bear the pain and faints, we’ll have to wake him up again later."
ng Qi, "..."
The future sister-in-law didn’t seem to be weak either?
ng Yunzheng nodded and asked the mountain bandit, "Willing to talk?"
The mountain bandit was already in a daze from the pain and hadn’t fully heard ng Yunzheng’s question before he started nodding.
ng Yunzheng smiled. A mont ago, he had put on a bold front, and now he couldn’t endure for even that long?
He fed the mountain bandit an antidote and watched him collapse weakly on the ground, covered in cold sweat as if he’d just been fished out of the water, gasping for breath.
ng Yunzheng said, "Can you hear what I’m saying?"
The mountain bandit nodded.
"Very good. The antidote I just gave you will only last for an hour. If you don’t get the second antidote after an hour, you’ll go through the sa pain again, and after half an hour of pain, you’ll die with blood streaming from your seven orifices."
The mountain band’s eyes widened.
ng Yunzheng said, "So, when we ask you sothing, answer honestly, and I’ll give you the antidote."
The mountain bandit pursed his lips.
ng Yunzheng seed to guess what he was thinking and chuckled, "Are you thinking about getting your comrades to capture and search for the antidote?"
The mountain bandit’s expression changed slightly.
ng Yunzheng laughed, "I don’t mind, but with all the dicine I’ve got on ..." He took out a pile of dicine packets, "Are you sure you can find the right antidote among these?"
The mountain bandit looked at the packets and almost spat blood. Rembering the earlier pain, he couldn’t help but tremble slightly and said in a low voice, "I’ll lead you there."
"That’s the spirit."
ng Yunzheng saw that he had rested enough, lifted him and brought him back into the room.
The mountain bandit took a deep breath, not daring to play any tricks. After entering, he pointed under the desk, "At the back of the desk, there are five holes. Press the third one."
ng Yunzheng reached under and felt around, indeed finding five holes. These holes were extrely small and could easily be overlooked, mistaken for intentional designs on the underside of the desk.
ng Yunzheng asked, "What about the other holes?"
The mountain bandit pursed his lips, "If you press the wrong one, it’ll trigger the trap in this room, and arrows will shoot out from all directions."
