Chapter 359 Fists and kicks without eyes
The expired sleeping pills turned into poison when added to the wine... and it took effect so quickly that Ji Anni and Long Mohan were trapped in the tiger's den and had nowhere to escape.
The furious rebels rushed forward and subdued the two of them.
Ji Anni was a woman, so the rebels were relatively polite to her. They just tied her up and threw her in a corner and left her there.
But Long Mohan was in a much more miserable situation. He was beaten before being tied up.
He huddled into a ball as a group of people punched and kicked him, with mud and blood mixed together in a horrible way, until he was beaten to the ground like a dead dog, unable to get up.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!" Ji Anni was so scared that she started crying. Listening to Long Mohan's painful groans, it was as if the person being stepped on by everyone was herself.
From the beginning to the end, the person who lied about the wine was Long Mohan, and Ji Anni was just a foil. So the rebels regarded Long Mohan as the culprit and temporarily ignored Ji Anni's crime.
After the first person who was poisoned, several more people who had drunk alcohol fell to the ground groaning in pain. In a short time, there were already seven or eight people lying on the ground.
The dozen or so remaining rebels who were still able to stand vented all their anger on Long Mohan.
Long Mohan did not argue and silently endured the fists and soles of shoes falling on his body.
Ji Anni, who was so anxious that tears were streaming down her face, kept shouting and even rushed into the rioting crowd regardless of the danger, lying on Long Mohan's body, using her body to block the violence for him.
Seeing a weak woman like Ji Anni suddenly rush in, the rebels subconsciously eased up their force. Ji Anni took the opportunity to squeeze into the center. She knelt on her knees, lowered her upper body, and blocked Long Mohan's head, shoulders and neck where he was most seriously injured. It was a pity that her hands were tied tightly behind her back with ropes, otherwise she would definitely spread her wings like a mother bird to protect the poor chicks under her wings.
"I beg you, please stop, please stop, if you want to fight... hit me..." Ji Anni believed that she had practiced martial arts since she was a child and had a strong physique. Even if she was beaten like a human sandbag for several rounds, she would not lose any limbs. But Long Mohan was different. He was a child of destiny and the king of the country. His dragon body was a symbol of imperial power, and not even a hair could fall off. But now, he was like a beggar who ate a free meal, being kicked and stepped on, and bloodstained. Ji Anni felt distressed and sad, and only hoped that she could have the ability to block the disaster for him and protect him to return to the palace safely.
Long Mohan curled up on the ground and couldn't get up. Ji Anni was crying and yelling with tears on her face. The rebels surrounded her in a ferocious circle. If someone suddenly rushed into the cave and saw this scene, they would definitely think that the rebels were bandits who were robbing women. Stared at by Ji Anni's tearful eyes, the rebels subconsciously stopped their fists and couldn't bear to continue fighting.
At this time, Long Mohan, who finally got a chance to catch his breath, squirmed on the ground for a few times, slowly raised his head, and said to Ji Anni intermittently: "You...what are you doing here...hurry up, hurry up...get out of the way..." As he spoke, he pushed Ji Anni with the last bit of his remaining strength.
If we don't quickly get Ji Annie to hide in a safe place, this group of thugs will get angry again. Their fists and feet are indiscriminate. What if Ji Annie gets hurt?
"No, I won't leave... If I have to be beaten, I'll take it with you. I... I can't... leave you alone..." Ji Anni started sobbing as she spoke, "I'm sorry. I know you value her health so much and you can't bear to see her get hurt, but... today, today... today she got hurt along with us..."
The "she" in the words refers to Zhao Ji. From leaving the palace until now, Long Mohan has always protected Ji Anni and prevented her from getting any external injuries because he did not want to see Zhao Ji's body damaged.
Ji Annie's words at this time sounded full of irony to Long Mohan.
Long Mohan couldn't help but frown, shook his head, and said slowly in a weak voice: "Fool, even if it wasn't Zhao Ji, but it was you...it was you, I don't want to see you get hurt..."
He didn't know when his protection of Zhao Ji became his protection of Ji Anni. He didn't even know that whenever he saw Zhao Ji frowning, he was worried about Zhao Ji's body or Ji Anni who lived in Zhao Ji's body. He only knew... only knew that even if Ji Anni was not possessed in Zhao Ji's body, at this moment, he would still protect her with his life.
"What about you? Don't you feel bad for yourself?" Ji Anni suddenly felt dizzy after smelling the strong smell of blood on Long Mohan's body. She never fainted at the sight of blood, but as soon as she thought that the blood came from Long Mohan's body, she couldn't help but feel sad, painful, stuffy in the chest, and black eyes. She struggled desperately to escape the ropes on her hands.
At this time, someone in the rebel party finally said, "Don't kill him yet. Wait until we get the antidote."
It seems that they thought there was an antidote for the alcohol poisoning, and as long as Long Mohan was alive, they could force him to hand over the antidote and save his poisoned companions.
But Ji Anni and Long Mohan knew in their hearts that the wine was filled with sleeping pills. Sleeping pills are not poison, so there is no antidote.
But if they say directly that there is no antidote, the other party will definitely not believe it and will think that they are just being stubborn. They may even impose a new round of punishment on them to force them to reveal the whereabouts of the antidote.
Ji Anni was imagining the possible terrible consequences in her mind when she heard a strong voice coming from above her head: "Who are you and why are you poisoning us? Hand over the antidote now!"
The owner of this voice must be the leader of this group of rebels. Ji Anni raised her head and shouted stubbornly: "Where is the antidote? We didn't poison you at all!"
Sleeping pills are not poison. Even if you insert a silver needle to test for poison, the needle will not turn black. In this case, there is no need for her to admit that she used poison. At most, she can just treat it as an accident of food poisoning.
Unexpectedly, the little leader was not someone who could be easily fooled. Seeing that Ji Anni was stubborn, he scooped a bowl of wine, brought it to Ji Anni's mouth and said, "Since it's not poisonous, drink it and let me see."
Ji Anni didn't dare to drink, she shook her head and refused, "I, I...I don't drink."
The little leader knew at a glance that Ji Anni was hiding something. He sneered twice and winked at his men.
Two people came forward immediately. One of them squatted beside Long Mohan, grabbed Long Mohan's hair, and forced Long Mohan to raise his head. The other took the wine bowl from the leader's hand and brought it to Long Mohan's mouth. Seeing their posture, Ji Anni immediately understood that they were going to force Long Mohan to drink.
"Give it to him." The little leader gave the order expressionlessly.
"No! No!" Ji Anni was so anxious that she almost rushed forward to use the Iron Head Skill on the little leader. The sleeping pills were expired, and other people had stomachaches after drinking them. What if Long Mohan died after drinking them?
But the rebels ignored Ji Anni's shouting, and forcefully opened Long Mohan's mouth, pouring the whole bowl of wine into Long Mohan's mouth. After pouring it, they smashed the bowl and threw Long Mohan's head to the ground like a bowl. Ji Anni heard a loud "bang" and was so scared that her heart was in her throat. Who would smash someone's head like this? Even if they didn't die, they would become mentally retarded.
"Brother, brother...are you okay?" Ji Annie crawled to Long Mohan's side, leaned over to Long Mohan's ear and called anxiously.
After calling for a long time, Long Mohan finally gave a weak response: "Don't worry... I'm fine... I'm fine..."
"It's okay now, but it will be okay soon." The little leader picked up the jar of wine and poured the remaining half of the wine on Long Mohan's head.
Long Mohan's head was already covered with wounds. After being washed down with wine, under the effect of alcohol, the wounds looked more like being cut by a knife, and the pain became even more severe.
After a scream of "Ah", Long Mohan almost fainted from the pain.
"Don't go too far! If he dies, you won't be able to survive!" Ji Anni was so angry that she pounced on him, opened her mouth, and bit the leader's calf hard.
The little leader cried out in pain and kicked Ji Anni away. Although Ji Anni was kicked away by him, she was still tightly biting a small piece of cloth torn from his trouser leg.
"You little bitch, you have powerful teeth!" The little leader was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he stared at Ji Anni with blazing eyes. There was a hole in his trousers on his calf, and there was still a mark of Ji Anni's teeth.
Ji Annie glared back at him without any hesitation. Her ferocious and terrifying eyes were like those of a fierce dog, which made people feel creepy.
At this time, the poisoned people lying on the ground began to groan again. Their uniform and painful groans attracted everyone's attention.
The little leader then realized that the most urgent thing was not to get angry at Ji Anni, but to find the antidote as soon as possible. He asked sternly, "Where is the antidote? Where is the antidote?"
At this time, Long Mohan's abdominal pain had also begun to occur. He was twitching on the ground in pain and couldn't speak at all. Ji Anni didn't know what to do. At this moment, she heard Tang Jinglan's voice: "Girl, if it's just painkillers, I still have some here, but I don't know if it will work because it has been expired for several years..."
Tang Jinglan has been concerned about Ji Anni's situation through the pearl earrings. Now that Ji Anni is in trouble, she also wants to do her best to help.
But his sleeping pills had already caused such a big disaster, so he didn't dare to use other drugs to harm the world.
If Tang Jinglan hadn't spoken, Ji Anni almost forgot that she could still get in touch with him. The situation was urgent now. No matter whether the painkiller Tang Jinglan was talking about was Huoxiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid or Fenbid, at this point, she could only treat the dead horse as a living one.
Ji Anni took a breath and said calmly to the little leader, "You can have the antidote, but...but you have to promise us that after you get the antidote, you will not embarrass us and let us go back safely."
