Chapter 50: Talking Business
"My lord! You're back! ”
Lu Li turned his head and saw Shangguan Yinling, his expression lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Antidote." In the night, he stretched out his hand, and there was a small round bottle lying in his hand, and Lu Li took it in surprise.
"My lord, you really got it!"
"One tablet a day, five days to detoxify." Shangguan Yinling said, he couldn't help but look at the black line on Lu Li's neck, which was much longer than him, and he couldn't help urging, "Take the next one quickly." ”
Lu Li followed his words, picked up one and swallowed it, and after a while, the black line on his neck disappeared.
"Remember one a day and don't forget." Shangguan Yuling's brows were slightly relaxed, and he couldn't help but emphasize.
"Okay." Lu Li nodded.
As the night deepened, the whole post station was quiet, Lu Li lay on the bed for half a night, hesitated for a long time, and decided to go to Shangguan Yinling's room to thank him.
He went to great lengths to get her an antidote, and she didn't say anything, as if it was too much.
Lu Li got up and put on his coat, walked out of the room lightly, and was about to knock on the door, when he reached out and touched it, the door opened.
"Your Excellency?" Lu Li looked inside, and under the dim candlelight, the bedroom was empty.
She couldn't help but wonder, it was already so late, where would the adults go if they didn't rest?
She closed the door again, got up and went downstairs, and when she saw what seemed to be a faint light in the backyard, she walked around the back of the hall.
Looking at it from a distance, it looks like Shangguan Yinling and Xu Yun.
"You and I hurry up to return to Zhou, I will set off first, tomorrow you will take the troops into Beijing out of Qizhou City, and after the march is safe, you will turn back to Zhou, and we will meet at the senior Zhou."
"Yes, sir."
Although Xu Yun didn't understand why Shangguan Yuling suddenly wanted to respond to the state, he had always absolutely obeyed the words of the adults, and he would not ask too much about the reason.
The two separated from the backyard, Xu Yun went upstairs to rest, but Shangguan Yinling still stopped, stood for a moment, and then he walked to the stable, reached out and touched the mane of the wind.
"Che Feng, I will have a hard time today, and when I return to Yingzhou, I will let you rest for a few days."
As if he could understand him, Che Feng rubbed his palm and let out a breath.
Lu Li frowned slightly.
Why do adults respond to the state? still hid it, and even Xu Yun didn't tell them the reason.
Since the adults didn't tell them, there must be a reason for him, and although she saw him lead the horse away at the moment, she couldn't come forward and ask a question.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the group set off and left Qizhou City.
After fifty miles from Qizhou City, the terrain gradually flattened, Xu Yun estimated that it was already safe, so he said goodbye to Lu Li Duan Lang and his party and turned back to the state.
"Xu Yun, if there is anything to do with the adults, you must fly the pigeon to tell us."
Before leaving, Lu Li grabbed the reins of his horse with a serious expression.
"Miss Lu, don't worry."
Xu Yun rode away, looking at his back, Lu Yun couldn't help but worry.
The group continued to hurry, and Xu Yun hurried back to Yingzhou.
In the city of Yingzhou, the prefect of the new school of the saint has already sat in the palace, and the city is still prosperous.
The old man was drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard, and when he saw Shangguan Yingling coming back, he looked quite surprised.
"Why did you kid come back?"
"Grandpa, I'm poisoned."
As soon as Shangguan Yinling said this, Old Man Zhou frowned, reached out to grab his wrist, and touched his pulse.
Then he looked at the black spot on the side of his neck.
"But the five days of the Mengqi tribe?"
"Exactly." Shangguan Ling nodded slightly, took out a small bottle from his arms, and handed it to the old man, "This is an antidote, I wonder if grandpa can develop an antidote according to the ratio of the antidote?" ”
"This ...... Maybe it's a little difficult, but I'll give it a try. ”
Old Man Zhou used silver needles to seal several large acupoints on his body, preventing the spread of toxicity, but this method can only help him drag on for a few days at most, and the matter of detoxification is imminent.
In the Qizhou City Mansion, Jing Xiao sat under the mirror and looked down at the marriage belt in his hand.
Obviously, when she gave him the marriage on the night of the wedding festival, her smile was sincere and bright, why didn't she like him?
He frowned slightly, and clenched the marriage belt in his hand.
He thought they would come back.
In this whole world, no one but him can unravel the poison of the five days.
"My lord, there are people outside the palace who want to see you." The yacha reported in the hall.
"Invite them in." Jing Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, and was wondering why they came so quickly, but the people standing under the hall were very, very strange.
"Meet Lord Jingxiao." The man was dressed ordinary, but he was arrogant in his words, and Jingxiao frowned slightly.
"Who's in the hall?"
"In the lower sparrowhawk village Qinhai." The man reported to his home, and without waiting for Jingxiao to say the word "sending off", he first explained his intention, "My master wants to make a profitable business with adults." ”
"I have no intention of working with bandits." Jing Xiao's eyebrows were sharp, even if he let the yacha pick people, Qin Hai didn't care much, and laughed very wildly.
"My lord, if you do this business, it will be a million profits, if you don't do it, I'm afraid you will be killed."
"If you talk nonsense, you will be the one who will be killed at this time." Jing Xiao frowned, and a few people drove Qin Hai out of the lobby.
"Phew! What is it! Qin Hai scolded, turned around and left the mansion, and returned to the wooden house in the forest where their brothers lived.
"Second brother, how are you talking?"
Ding Xiaobiao saw that Qin Hai had sadness in his eyes, but he also had murderous intent, so he asked.
"Toast to the sky and don't eat and drink, he refuses to cooperate, so we force him to cooperate." Qin Hai smiled coldly, "Isn't there an elderly mother and a few aunts and aunts in his clan, these people are in our hands, see if he will take the initiative to come to us to cooperate." ”
"Second brother, what does Hongyan want to cooperate with Jingxiao? Why did you threaten him so hard? Ding Xiaobiao couldn't help but wonder, they had helped Hongyan for many years, but they had never seen the true face of this person, this person was meticulous and vicious, I am afraid that what they want to do with Jingxiao is not a good deal.
"Xiao Biao, have you ever read the book "Strange Stories"? Knowing that there is a kind of strange soldier at this time, there is no pain and the physical strength is amazing, and when you go to the battlefield with a weapon, you only know how to kill, and you are crazy when you see blood. Qin Hai stood beside Ding Xiaobiao, the madness in his eyes was too obvious, "What Hongyan needs is this kind of strange soldier, and the Mengqi clan has the medicine that can create this kind of strange soldier." ”
"Then he's going to ......"
"Yes, yes."
Qin Hai smiled and patted Ding Xiaobiao's shoulder: "At that time, you and I brothers will be human beings, money, status, and even your second girl are all in our hands." ”
Ding Xiaobiao was slightly tempted, but hesitated.
In this way, it is necessary to sacrifice the lives of many people.
No wonder Hongyan was willing to allocate so many men to them, he must have expected that Jing Xiao would not cooperate easily.
As the night deepened, in the woods on the outskirts of the city, a team of black-clothed men and horses set out, quickly disappearing into the night.
