The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

The man immediately pinched his throat and replied tenderly, imitating a woman's voice: "It's me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened quickly from the inside and a pretty girl stuck her head out.

When he saw the "woman" in front of him, a bright smile instantly broke out on his face. He cheered and quickly threw himself into "her" arms, hugged her tightly, and said, "Sister, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I thought something happened to you."

"Don't worry, there's no way anything could happen to me. I've just been entangled with a lot of things lately."

"Sister, please come in quickly."

The "woman" smiled and took the girl's hand and walked into the house. Dressed as a man, "she" seemed to walk naturally, but her eyes were alertly scanning the environment inside the house.

After both of them entered the house, the "woman" closed the door and bolted it.

At the same time, Qin Feng, like a ghost, took off and landed quickly in the yard from the roof after a few jumps.

He leaned against the window, held his breath, and listened carefully to the movements in the house.

A cheerful voice of a young girl came from inside the house, "Sister, why did you come so late this time? I have prepared a lot of your favorite food."

The woman chuckled and said, "We were delayed on the way."

Qin Feng peeked inside through the crack in the window and saw that the house was warmly decorated and the table was filled with dishes.

The "woman" had a hint of tenderness in her eyes, and asked softly, "You should be in a better mood recently, right?"

The girl nodded heavily, a happy smile on her face, and shook his hand.

"Since you have been giving me such caring comfort, I feel relieved. Thinking about it now, those troubles I had before are not so scary."

The girl skipped to the cabinet beside her, took out a purse and handed it to the man.

"Sister, I just made this for you. See if you like it."

The man took the purse. It was delicate in the hand and the patterns embroidered on it were exquisite.

"It's so beautiful. My sister's cooking skills are getting better and better."

After a while, the man coughed lightly and said in a hoarse voice: "After walking all this way, sister, I am a little thirsty."

When the girl heard this, she turned around quickly, picked up the teapot on the table, and carefully poured a glass of water for the man.

The man picked up the teacup and walked to the door casually, sighing as he paced, "What a nice weather today."

As he spoke, his hand moved slightly, and a tiny medicine bag slipped out from his sleeve. Taking advantage of the moment he turned around, he quickly put the medicine bag into the water. The medicine bag dissolved in the water without leaving any trace.

Qin Feng saw all of this in the dark.

The man held the teacup with a gentle smile on his face and said to the girl, "Sister, this water is too much. I can't drink it all by myself. You should drink some too."

He poured the water into another teacup.

The girl didn't notice anything unusual.

She reached out and took the teacup handed to her by the man, put it to her lips, took a sip, and drank all the water in the cup.

After a while, the girl suddenly felt dizzy, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground with a thump, losing consciousness.

When the man saw this, the disguised gentleness on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a greedy look.

His eyes seemed to be burning with desire, and a ferocious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Finally I can have you."

As he said this, he quickly walked towards the girl, picked her up suddenly and put her on the bed.

The girl was like a powerless rag doll, and the man's mind was blinded by desire. His hands began to wander restlessly on the girl's body, ready to do something worse than an animal.

Just when the man was about to commit his evil act, Qin Feng broke through the window like a flash of lightning and appeared beside the man in the blink of an eye. He waved his big hand and fiercely strangled the man's neck.

The man was frightened by this sudden change, his eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief. He couldn't figure out where this person in front of him came from.

Qin Feng's eyes were burning with anger, and he increased the strength of his hands. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What are you going to do to her?"

The man was strangled and had difficulty breathing. His face turned red, but he pretended to be calm and squeezed out a few words from his throat with difficulty: "Who... who are you?"

Qin Feng's face was stern, and he said in a cold voice: "You don't need to know who I am. Now, you must follow me. If you resist, don't blame me for being rude."

The man rolled his eyes, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he cried out in a crying voice: "Why do you bully a weak woman like me?"

Qin Feng couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Huh, are you really a woman?"

The man was suddenly panicked.

Qin Feng's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He stared at the man and shouted angrily: "Don't play dumb. Hurry up and take out the antidote!"

The man pretended to be innocent and shouted in a shrill voice: "What antidote? I didn't poison you."

Qin Feng didn't say anything, he raised his hand and slapped him.
A red palm print suddenly appeared on the man's face.

"Tell the truth!" Qin Feng growled.

The man was still trying to argue: "I don't know either. My sister fainted while drinking tea. Qin Feng must have had a cold or something like that."

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with more anger. He grabbed the man's neck fiercely, and the strength in his hands kept increasing: "You are still lying after all this. It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't tell the truth."

The man's face turned red from being pinched, his legs kicked wildly, and fear appeared in his eyes.

Qin Feng's eyes were wide open with anger, and he kicked the man to the ground, causing him to fall flat on his face.

Qin Feng then pounced on him and began to search the man, leaving no corner unsearched.

Finally, the antidote was found in the lining of the man's sleeves.

Qin Feng took the antidote, stood up, looked down at the man, and said coldly: "Do you have anything else to say?"

The man's face and lips were trembling, but he couldn't utter a word.

Qin Feng snorted coldly and punched the man in the neck. The man's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Qin Feng ignored the man, walked quickly to the girl, and carefully fed the antidote to her.

Afterwards, he stayed quietly beside the girl, his eyes gentle but firm, just waiting for her to wake up.

Night falls and the stars are shining.

Chen Shou and Shi Daming were on their way, Shi Daming was riding a horse and Chen Shou was sitting behind.

That night, the two came to an inn.

The candlelight flickered in the restaurant, and the voices were noisy. They found an empty seat, sat down, ordered some food, and had dinner together.

Halfway through the meal, Shi Daming suddenly stood up and said to Chen Shou, "Wait here. I'll be out for a while and will be back soon."

After saying that, he left in a hurry, leaving Chen Shou sitting alone at the table. Not long after, Shi Daming came back with food in his hands.

Chen Shou was stunned, his eyes full of confusion. He frowned and asked, "Why did you bring the food over yourself?"

Shi Daming put down the food, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and said with a smile: "I went to the kitchen to urge them, but they were too short-handed to handle it, so I just brought it here."

After listening to Shi Daming's explanation, Chen Shou didn't think any more about it and continued to eat.

But after a while, he felt an uncomfortable sensation in his stomach, his face turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

Shi Daming looked at Chen Shou's miserable expression, but a smug smile appeared on his face. He said slowly, "Hmph, to tell you the truth, I poisoned the food. Otherwise, why do you think I would personally serve the food?"

When Chen Shou heard this, he was shocked and angry.

Shi Daming hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill of antidote and handed it to Chen Shou.

Chen Shou took it and ate it without hesitation. After a while, the discomfort in his stomach was slightly relieved.

He took a breath, stared at Smith with his eyes wide open, and asked loudly: "What do you mean by doing this?"

Shi Daming sneered and said slowly, "Hmph, don't be too happy too soon. This antidote can only provide temporary relief. The poison you are suffering from is not so easy to cure. You will still feel uncomfortable in a few days. I do this because I can't trust you completely now. Once I get Xi Yu's birth date and make sure you are not playing any tricks, I will give you the real antidote."

When Chen Shou heard this, his face became even gloomier, and his eyes were filled with anger and helplessness.

Shi Daming showed a look of helplessness on his face, waved his hand and said, "Chen Shou, don't blame me. I am carrying out the emperor's order, which is of great importance. I must act with extreme caution and cannot afford any mistakes."

Chen Shou snorted coldly, his face full of resentment: "Aren't you afraid that I will just make up a birth date to fool you? I'm afraid your wishful thinking is a little too loud."

After hearing this, Shi Daming raised his head and laughed loudly. The laughter echoed in the room of the inn, revealing a bit of arrogance: "Of course I'm not afraid. When I go to Youzhou, I won't stay in the inn. I want to stay with you all the time. I didn't tell you clearly before because I was afraid that you would get suspicious and refuse to take me. Anyway, you'd better not play any tricks, otherwise, you will be in trouble when the poison takes effect."

Chen Shou frowned, feeling angry and resentful, but he also knew that he was under someone else's control at the moment. He could only endure it for the time being and think about how to deal with this difficult situation next.

Chen Shou frowned, thinking secretly in his heart. Originally, he wanted to deal with Shi Daming perfunctorily first, and then find a chance to inform Xi Yu of the news so that Xi Yu could be prepared.

But now that Smith Daming is so cunning, he not only poisoned him to control him, but also planned to stay with him all the time. This plan is simply not feasible.

Chen Shou forced a bitter smile on his face, pretending to be aggrieved and sincere, and slowly said: "I never intended to deceive you. I always regarded you as a friend, but I didn't expect that you would plot against me like this. This really makes me feel disappointed."

After hearing this, Shi Daming frowned slightly, then sighed and said, "I just told you that I have been ordered by the emperor. This matter is of great importance, so I really have to do this. Don't worry, once this matter is over, I will personally apologize to you, and then you can do whatever you want with me. I will never say no."

Although he said this, there was still a bit of scrutiny in his eyes, and it was obvious that he did not completely believe what Chen Shou said.

Chen Shou sighed helplessly, with a look of compromise on his face, and said, "It seems that this is the only way. I know you won't feel at ease without the birth date and horoscope. I just hope that you can keep your promise and give me the antidote. Forget it, let's continue eating. We can't go hungry."

Having said that, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, but the action seemed a bit heavy, and he was still thinking about how to deal with this difficult situation next.

On the other side, Qin Feng quietly stood by the girl's bed, his eyes never leaving her, full of concern and anxiety.

Finally, the girl whimpered and slowly opened her eyes. As soon as she regained consciousness, she realized that she was lying on the bed.

And sitting next to the bed was a stranger whom she had never seen before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shrank back subconsciously, her eyes full of fear.

Seeing this, Qin Feng quickly said gently: "Don't be afraid, girl. I'm not a bad person. You were unconscious and I saved you. How do you feel now?"

His voice was gentle, trying to calm the girl's flustered heart.

After hearing what Qin Feng said, the girl frowned, her face full of confusion, and she murmured to herself: "Am I unconscious?"

As she was speaking, her eyes suddenly fell on the man lying on the ground. She quickly stood up and rushed over, shouting anxiously, "What did you do to my elder sister?"

Qin Feng quickly reached out to stop the girl and said seriously, "Girl, he is not your elder sister. He is a man. He was the one who had evil intentions towards you and almost hurt you."

When the girl heard this, her eyes widened, as if she had heard something out of this world, and she screamed, "You're talking nonsense! How is this possible!"

Qin Feng sighed helplessly, looked into the girl's eyes, and asked softly: "Girl, think carefully, how did you faint? Did you lose consciousness after drinking the tea he brought in?"

After hearing what Qin Feng said, the girl suddenly calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that what this man said did make sense.

Seeing this, Qin Feng continued, "Don't you understand? He poisoned you and wanted to do something worse than an animal to you while you were unconscious. He had no good intentions from the beginning."

Qin Feng then suggested, "Girl, if you don't believe me, why not go and take a look at that man's Adam's apple? How can a normal woman have an Adam's apple?"

Although the girl was still skeptical when she heard it, she slowly walked to the man's side, squatted down and took a closer look. As expected, she found that the man had a distinct Adam's apple on his neck, and she immediately believed it a little more.

At this moment, Qin Feng walked forward, reached out and touched the man's face for a few times, then gently peeled off a human skin mask, revealing the man's face under the mask.

When the girl saw this scene, she was shocked and angry, her eyes full of fear and resentment.

The girl stood there blankly, muttering to herself: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

After a long while, she slowly raised her head, her eyes full of loss and sadness, and began to tell the story of how she met this man.

"Once I was extremely depressed and felt that life was meaningless, so I ran to the river and wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide. I was filled with despair at the time, and just when I was about to jump, this person appeared beside me and advised me not to do anything stupid. At that time, he looked like a woman, and spoke softly. He kept counseling me and chatting with me, which helped me slowly dispel those negative thoughts, so I always regarded him as a good sister." The girl said, her voice carrying a hint of tears.

After hearing this, Qin Feng frowned and said seriously, "Girl, that was all his trick. He was playing the long game. He deliberately approached you and gained your trust just to wait for this day, so that he could take advantage of your trust to drug you and then do something that would make you regret for the rest of your life. This kind of person is really too vicious."

When the girl heard this, her body trembled slightly, the hatred in her eyes became even stronger, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

After the girl realized what was happening, she was so angry that she was shaking all over. She screamed "Ah!" and rushed forward to kick the unconscious man on the ground. She cursed him viciously while kicking him, "You beast! I trusted you so much and treated you like a good sister, but you treated me like this. You are worse than pigs and dogs!"

But the man remained in a coma. No matter how the girl kicked and hit him, he had no reaction and just lay there quietly.

Seeing this, the girl felt even more unsatisfied, her chest heaving violently. She turned to look at Qin Feng and said anxiously: "Hurry up and wake him up. I want him to have a good taste of my power and make him explain to me in person!"

There was so much resentment in her words that she wished she could cut the man into pieces right now.

Qin Feng hurried forward, gently patted the girl's shoulder, and advised in a gentle voice: "Girl, calm down first, don't get angry and hurt yourself. It's not worth hurting yourself for such a wicked person."

But the girl wouldn't listen at all. She sat down on the bed, covering her face with her hands. Tears fell between her fingers like beads that had broken off the string, and she began to sob.

The cry was full of grievance, fear and anger, as if all the shock and deception suffered during this period of time were vented out with these tears.

After a long while, the girl's crying gradually stopped. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. With a puzzled look in her eyes, she looked at Qin Feng and asked, "Who are you? How did you know that someone was trying to murder me, and how did you come to help me in time?"

Qin Feng straightened up slightly and said with a serious face: "Miss, to be honest, I am a subordinate of the Prime Minister. I am investigating a case and happened to discover the sneaky behavior of the villain. I felt something was wrong, so I followed him and happened to save your life."

When the girl heard that Qin Feng was the prime minister's man, she was immediately shocked and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She quickly stood up and bowed to Qin Feng, saying in a sincere and eager tone: "So you are a hero under the Prime Minister's command. Today, thanks to your help, I would be in great danger. I really don't know how to thank you. I will remember your great kindness in my heart."

As he spoke, he bowed several times, his eyes full of sincere gratitude. (End of this chapter)
