Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

In less than the time it takes to make a cup of tea, he actually understood it.    

He directly put the poison in a pot, dissolved it with water, and then added three unknown drugs inside. Then he boiled it dry, added some kind of gel, and made it into a pill.    

Then, there was the antidote.    

The same procedure was done.    

A large bucket of antidote and a large bucket of poison.    

Now, all of them were placed in front of Xiao Yun.    

The shadow bodyguard smiled bitterly and said, "It might not be useful. I'm not sure either."    

"Can't we just find someone to try it?"    

"That's... true."    

The shadow bodyguard smiled bitterly.    

However, who to choose was a troublesome matter.    

When they heard Xiao Yun say to test the medicine, the surrounding people subconsciously retreated to the side.    

Xiao Yun looked around. Every time he saw a person, that person would immediately lower his head, not daring to have any contact with Xiao Yun.    

Xiao Yun smiled at the end and pointed at the grandmaster and said, "You come and test the medicine."    

"Ah? Why? Why me? "    

Advisor was unwilling and aggrieved.    

Xiao Yun said, "Because you know how to make the antidote. Actually, killing you before was the best way to make the medicinal effect work. Now that I've worked so hard, isn't it also to not kill you? Everyone has worked so hard for you. What about you? Don't you want to pay the price? Furthermore... If you eat it and die, then you can use the poison from before. If you don't die and prove that this medicine is effective, then we still have poison to use. Don't you think so?"    

The corners of the Advisor's eyes twitched violently.    

He knew that he could not refuse.    

This guy in front of him killed his young master without any hesitation. He even went straight to the victim's house and directly controlled the entire family.    

Killing a grandmaster, this was a simple matter. There was no psychological burden on him at all.    

Thus, he fiercely gritted his teeth and took the initiative to pick up a poison and eat it.    

Xiao Yun looked at it quietly and then nodded his head, showing a very satisfied expression.    

After waiting for almost an hour, nothing happened to Advisor. He just held his stomach and squatted there for a while. Then, he stood up as if nothing had happened.    

"Eat the antidote again."    

The key was this antidote.    

This was also the one with the lowest success rate.    

The Advisor gritted his teeth and ate it again.    

This time, he was in pain.    

He was lying on the ground and rolling around.    

He still had a lot of strength.    

His head hit the corner of the table and broke it, causing blood to flow out from his head.    

This kind of pain lasted for the time it took to make a cup of tea. He took a deep breath and laid there motionlessly.    

"Is he dead? I'm not dead. Stand up and take a few steps. "    

The Advisor gritted his teeth and stood up to do as he was told.    

Only then did Xiao Yun call the shadow bodyguards to check on him.    

"Young master, the poison has been detoxified."    

" Oh? Not bad, the success rate is still very high. Not bad, I underestimated you before."    

The bodyguard smiled bitterly and said," This... The medicine that belongs to someone else, and the poison and antidote to match it, is actually a little harder than a new set, it's better to... "    

"We have to save some medicine now. If we kill a lot of people in the future... What if we lose the medicinal herbs when that happens? There were probably not many poisonous things in Great Royal Court. The things you have on you are your capital. You better not become worthless. "    

The bodyguard hurriedly nodded in agreement.    

He understood that if Xiao Yun was unhappy, or if Xiao Yun felt that he was useless, he would immediately drive him back.    

He really did not want to return to Five Poisons Village.    

Even if he was outside, he had to do these crazy things.    

However, for him, who had been suppressing himself for too long, these crazy things were even more satisfying!    

Xiao Yun confirmed the medicinal effect and ordered the people of Shangguan family to line up and eat the poison one by one.    

From the old woman to the infants, not a single one of them was spared. All of them had to be eaten.    

Old Master Shangguan looked at his family members who were crying silently. He felt a humiliation he had never experienced before. He finally understood what hatred was.    

But what could he do?    

If he had the slightest ability to resist before this, the entire Shangguan family was now under Xiao Yun's control.    

Unless...    

It was a life and death struggle!    

But could he really do it?    

A random subordinate of the other party had been hiding in the mansion and had even poisoned the well water, yet he had not been discovered!    

What kind of concept was this?    

In this huge Shangguan family, there was no one who could fight against them.    

Talents.    

No matter what world or era it was, talent was always the most important.    

More important than anything else!    

Even though Xiao Yun's group had very few people, they were all geniuses!    

It was likely that there was no one in the entire Northern Wei who was stronger than them.    

Wait! Everyone in the Shangguan family had eaten the poison.    

It was already late at night.    

Those who had finished their medicine were gathered in the square in front of them.    

The whole family was pitch black, but the place was brightly lit.    

Xiao Yun nodded.    

Then he said to the bodyguard, "You should have already found out about this building, right?"    

The bodyguard hurriedly said, "I have already found out about it before. The area here is very large. Just the houses alone are no less than a hundred. It is comparable to the imperial palaces of some small countries."    

"Yes, then does this entire building have a place very close to the surrounding buildings?"    

"That is not the case. The one closest is also separated by a long street. Other places are separated by walls and trees in the middle."    

"Trees? Will there be a situation where trees are connected together? Combine the two families together?"    

"Of course not."    

The bodyguard explained, "In this wealthy family, it's very rare to plant trees, because trees can hide people. If a bandit comes in and hides on a tree, then it will be impossible to guard against. And there are no trees that are too close to the mansion. If there were, the bandits could climb up from the trees. What was the point of the wall? The wall would also maintain a certain distance from the trees, making it impossible for people to jump over. It'll also make it easier for the guards to observe the situation nearby and see if there are any strangers nearby."    

Xiao Yun nodded.    

He naturally knew all of this.    

As a former assassin, he naturally knew that trees were not allowed to be planted in palaces or places where important figures lived. In the past, there wasn't even a single tree in the huge Forbidden City. All of these were for the sake of safety.    

The long and wide moat was also for this purpose. It was not to guard against foreign enemies, but to guard against thieves and... ordinary civilians!    

The reason why he asked him was to test this guy.    

Although he was a bodyguard, he had been stuck in the small mountain village for too long. He had a cold personality and was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the chaotic world outside.    

However, he did not expect that this guy's basic knowledge was quite solid.    

It also made Xiao Yun feel a lot more at ease.    

Then he smacked his lips and asked again, "Everyone from the Shangguan family, are they all here?"    

"Yes, yes..."    

This time, not only was the bodyguard answering, Old Master Shangguan also rushed to answer.    

Xiao Yun nodded and asked again, "The people of Shangguan family are all here?"    

He asked the same question again, which made everyone feel strange.    

But the answer was the same.    

Xiao Yun nodded again and suddenly said, "Alright, set the square on fire. Other than this square, the rest of the place is on fire."
