134, Pearl City (3)
When diagnosing Xiao Qi's pulse, Yuan Fengqing asked intentionally or unintentionally, "I originally cultivated in the deep mountains, and I didn't know the terrain when I first entered Hongchen, but I have a relative in Huancheng, do you know how far it is from here?" ”
"I know, it's about two thousand miles away from Pearl City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Xiao Qi replied.
Yuan Fengqing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that it was only half a day's journey, and he actually shrank to an inch to two thousand miles away, which shows that the mana of the dark night is very strong, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with.
Seeing that she was in a trance, Xiao Qi asked curiously, "I heard Brother Jiu say that you are a pill pharmacist, I don't know how many products it is?" ”
Yuan Fengqing was thinking about the dark night, and replied casually, "Five products." ”
But when she heard a bang, it was Xiao Qi who was too excited to knock the teacup on the table to the ground, and the crisp voice pulled back Yuan Fengqing's thoughts, she realized what she said, and added, "I have just been promoted to the fifth grade, and the realm is not yet stable, so it's not surprising." ”
Xiao Qi immediately stood in awe, "Girl, I really didn't know that you were actually an intermediate Dan Master, please don't take it to heart if you were disrespectful before." ”
"Don't be so polite, really." Yuan Fengqing laughed dryly, withdrew his hand to change the topic, and said, "The poison in you is not very deep, I will give you three Huaqing Pills, and you can expel all the toxins in your body by taking them for three days in a row, and you don't have to suffer from bone devouring and burning your heart." ”
"Really? Thank you, girl," Xiao Qiyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him for saving his life, Yuan Fengqing pulled him up, swept it with his divine sense, and then took out the Huaqing Pill from the Qiankun bag and handed it to him.
Xiao Qi couldn't wait to open the cork, only to smell a pungent fragrance poured into his mind, his consciousness seemed to be a lot clearer, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly poured out one and swallowed it. After the pill was injected into his stomach, the severe pain that was tormenting him immediately disappeared, making him sigh in amazement, "It is said that the profession of the pill pharmacist is very magical, I still don't think so, now I try it is really a hundred times stronger than the doctor in the world, no wonder Brother Jiu is so respectful to you, I have never seen him so polite to anyone." ”
Yuan Fengqing was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile, "Brother Feng Jiu is your steward here, right?" ”
"For the time being, I haven't been here for a long time, I heard them say that it wasn't the ninth brother who was in charge here before, and then the steward didn't know why he disappeared, and the Venerable selected the ninth brother from our group of subordinates to be promoted to the steward, his personality is extremely strict, no matter who makes a little mistake, he will be severely punished, and no one is allowed to intercede, otherwise he will be punished for the same crime, and everyone is afraid of him." Xiao Qi shuddered as he spoke, which showed that he was extremely afraid of this Feng Jiu in his heart.
Yuan Fengqing nodded, and asked again, "Then what do you do on weekdays?" I don't think there's anyone in the yard, have they all gone out? ”
Asked this, Xiao Qi's face turned pale, poked his head and looked around, to make sure that there were no outsiders, so he lowered his voice and said, "Girl, although you are a precious pill pharmacist, and Brother Jiu treats you very politely, you must not ask what they are doing, otherwise, you will definitely disappear without a trace like the previous steward." I am a housekeeper, and there were a few newly accepted brothers who were not satisfied with Brother Jiu's arrangement, thinking that their errands were too heavy, and they quarreled to reason with Brother Jiu, but then none of them disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the world, which was terrible. ”
"Could it be that you're mistaken?" Hearing this, Yuan Fengqing was even more puzzled, "Maybe Brother Jiu doesn't like those brothers who like to make trouble, so he sent them home?" ”
"It's impossible, because the family members of several brothers came over not long ago, but after they saw Brother Jiu alone, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their legs were weak, or I sent them out, I quietly asked, they said that Brother Jiu didn't let them ask, and they planted a cup of poison for them, if they dared to go out and talk nonsense, they would be poisoned to death."
Xiao Qi's words sounded a loud alarm bell for Yuan Fengqing, it was obvious that he must have done nothing good to gather these men here in the dark, and he actually threatened the family members of his subordinates with cup poison, presumably what they did was very secretive and could not be known to outsiders, so they did everything possible to obstruct and prevent the conspiracy from being revealed. And they are all gathered in Pearl City, could it be that they will choose the right time to kidnap everyone by demon magic, just like the previous Huancheng?
Thinking of this, Yuan Fengqing didn't dare to take it lightly, but he also knew that it was impossible to know more things from Xiao Qi's mouth, he was just a gatekeeper, judging from Feng Jiu's character, he would not tell him the real secret, if he wanted to hear deeper news, he could only start through Feng Jiu.
So, she asked with a smile, "Xiao Qi, since Brother Feng Jiu is so powerful, I am also quite scared in my heart, I don't know what hobbies or taboos he has, you can tell me, I can also find an opportunity to get closer to him, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin in the future." ”
Xiao Qi was grateful for her kindness in medicine, and thought for a moment before saying, "Brother Jiu has many hobbies, and women like wine and meat, as for the taboo, I haven't heard of anything, as long as the girl doesn't ask about his secrets, presumably he won't be too embarrassed for you, after all, you are the person brought by the Venerable, and you are a precious pill master, he is too late to stammer, how can he let you suffer like he did with us." ”
Yuan Fengqing saw that he couldn't ask for any more useful information from him, so he had to leave under the pretext that it was dark. On the way back, she carefully released her spiritual sense to sense the situation of the entire courtyard, except for the third courtyard, which was laid with a strong enchantment that could not be touched, the rest of the houses were nothing unusual. Presumably living in the courtyard full of enchantments in the dark night, she didn't dare to forcibly use her spiritual power to investigate, lest she attract his attention and startle the snake, so as soon as she noticed that there was an enchantment, she immediately retreated.
But there were no anomalies in the other yards, which was a bit strange. But after thinking about it, even if Feng Jiu and the others were doing something illegal, they wouldn't bring the clues back to where they lived, but they wouldn't hide too far, they should still have strongholds in other places in Pearl City, no matter what, she had to find a way to inquire clearly.
After making up her mind, Yuan Fengqing's mood gradually calmed down, and after returning to the room, she simply washed up and went to bed, planning to recuperate and then fight a protracted psychological war with the dark night. But lying on the bed and tossing and turning, I couldn't sleep, I was worried about Xiaoliu's safety, and I was afraid that the spiritual letter I passed to the master would be obstructed and could not reach it smoothly, and even if the three masters received the message, would they be able to find her whereabouts as quickly as possible? She always felt that the calm of the dark night was very abnormal, and he couldn't be afraid of moving the rescuers by himself, right? Did he think that he was really a person who was very afraid of death, and he didn't dare to do anything in secret?
No! She quickly denied this judgment, judging from what he had done before the night, he would not be wary of himself, so he ignored himself for the past few days, was he confident that even if she could move in to rescue the soldiers, the other party would not be able to help him?
No! She denied this judgment again, even if her self-confidence exploded in the dark night, thinking that no one could match him except for the Ghost Emperor Feiyuan, but after all, he still needed someone like Feng Jiu to do things for him, once this stronghold was exposed, everything he had done was wasted, and it was not in vain, would he be so stupid? The answer, of course, is no, so what does he rely on for such calm?
Yuan Fengqing thought about it for most of the night and didn't figure it out, but subconsciously felt that Dark Night must have done something, but it was really unknown to what extent he would do it. In any case, if she wants to find out more secrets from this stronghold, she must be careful and cautious, and never contact outsiders, so as to relax the vigilance of the dark night, only in this way can she get close to the edge of the secret, find out the whereabouts of all the people in Huancheng, and find out what Feng Jiu and the others are busy with!
