Chapter 33: Progress

Just as He Nuo and the others were anxiously waiting, a person finally appeared at the door.

He Nuo looked up and saw that it was the chief imperial doctor in the palace who treated external injuries: Liao Jicang.

In this kind of anxious situation, the appearance of a famous doctor can indeed make people feel a little more at ease, even Meng Ruo felt the change in the atmosphere in the room, turned his head, and looked at Liao Jicang, with a meager hope still burning in his eyes.

Liao Jicang nodded at Meng Ruo, looked at her tired face, and shook her head, she knew that this girl hadn't closed her eyes for two days.

Liao Jicang then took out a black square box from his arms, and everyone's eyes were attracted to the box. Liao Jicang took a deep breath and opened the box, which was padded with a thick black flannel cloth, and a finger-sized black pill lay on it.

As soon as the box was opened, a spicy smell spread through the room, and it was obvious that the medicinal power of this pill was extremely domineering.

Smelling this smell, He Nuo and the others were at a loss, but Mu Yanxi's eyes lit up, and a sense of joy began to appear in his voice, "This... Could it be the Liao family's 'life-sustaining pill'? ”

Liao Jicang nodded, and there was still a sense of reluctance in his voice, "This life-sustaining pill is extremely precious, the production process is extremely complicated, the specific prescription was lost when the teacher was in the Canglang Department, and there are only two left, one of which the teacher took on the way to Jinyang to save his life, and now there is only this one left." After Liao Jicang finished speaking, he lifted the box.

Meng Ruo immediately showed a happy expression on his face, and said, "The Liao family's kindness, Meng Ruo will definitely not forget it!" ”

Liao Jicang shook his head, "The prince is too seriously injured, and this life-sustaining pill can only be said to have more time with Lord Yama..."

Meng Ruo's face showed regret, and he looked down at his brother, and there were crystal tears flashing in his eyes.

He Nuo looked distressed from the side, took a few steps forward, patted Meng Ruo's shoulder gently, and comforted: "This life-sustaining pill can buy more time, we still have a chance!" He Nuo bowed to Liao Jicang, "Let Imperial Doctor Liao take out such a precious thing, I really don't know how to repay it." ”

The expression on Liao Jicang's face was a little unnatural, "Actually... This life-sustaining pill can be said to be the treasure of the Liao family's town, but later Mu Xiangye personally came to the Liao family, explained the seriousness of the situation, and gave the Liao family a promise, and we will take it out......"

Meng Ruo glanced at Mu Yanxi beside him, but still didn't speak.

Mu Yanxi asked, "What kind of promise?" ”

Liao Jicang waved his hand and said: "It's very big, it's worth the promise of this life-sustaining pill...", and then he didn't want to say more, and continued to look at Mu Yanxi and said: "Mu Xiangye was going to come with me, but he met an old man on the way, so he didn't come." ”

Liao Jicang paused, tilted his head towards Meng Ruo and said: "I know that the beginning and end of this matter really has nothing to do with Miss Yanxi and Mu Xiangye, it can be said that if this life-sustaining pill does not have Mu Xiangye's promise, my teacher will never take it out." ”

When Liao Jicang mentioned his teacher, all the hearts of those present were pang, and Meng Ruo even thought, "Since Liao Yin is willing to take out the life-sustaining pill, maybe he will also be willing to help his brother." He immediately asked, "Is this medicine directly given to my brother?" ”

Liao Jicang smiled bitterly: "If you want your brother to leave you now, just give him this dose directly, this medicine is too powerful, and blood is needed as an introduction to neutralize it." There is a specific way to reconcile this, let's start now..."After speaking, Liao Jicang took out the black pill from the box.

At this time, He Nuo saw clearly that the flannel cloth used as the backing in the box was originally white, and he sighed in his heart: "How strong is this medicinal power to dye the whole cloth black!" ”

Meng Ruo, He Nuo, and Mu Yanxi raised their hands at the same time and said, "Use my blood!" ”

Liao Jicang walked directly to He Nuo, this kind of neutralization still requires the blood of a man with stronger yang energy, hearing this, Meng Ruo and Mu Yanxi were both a little disappointed.

He Nuo raised his arm, and Liao Jicang took out a fine needle and began to take blood.

……

Time passed slowly, Liao Jicang's technique was very steady, and he slowly fused the black pill with He Nuo's blood, but in the process of fusion, the cup in his hand suddenly trembled slightly, and Liao Jicang was surprised.

Such a change shocked He Nuo, Meng Ruo, and Mu Yanxi, but fortunately, Liao Jicang didn't continue to say anything, just glanced at He Nuo curiously, and then continued his manipulation.

Finally......

After lasting for nearly an hour, Liao Jicang wiped the sweat from his forehead, handed the cup full of black liquid to Meng Ruo, and asked her to give Meng Xiaochen a subdue.

Meng Ruo felt that his hands were trembling, but he tried his best to stabilize it, and carefully fed Meng Xiaochen with a soup spoon without leaking.

The Life Continuation Pill really lived up to its reputation, and after a short time, the black qi on Meng Xiaochen's face dissipated a lot, although it still lingered in the corner of his face, but the area was much smaller, and it was replaced by a ruddy color.

Meng Ruo and the others all set their eyes on Liao Jicang, waiting for the doctor's reply with anxiety in their hearts.

Liao Jicang nodded, "The life-sustaining pill has worked, and it will take three days...... Whistling dust had three more days. However, Liao Jicang's next words were also very simple, "If there is no other rescue method after three days, then Xiaochen will really be saved... After all, his wounds were too deep. ”

Meng Ruo sighed, still worried.

Woo......

A wolf howl sounded, and Meng Ruo hurriedly stood up and looked out the window.

Sure enough, it was Cang Ling's voice, and when he looked at it again, a burly figure with loose hair strode closer, and Meng Ruo's heart was relieved: "Uncle is back." ”

As soon as he entered the room, he ran to Meng Xiaochen, probed his nose, and saw that he was still alive, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At this time, Meng Ruo hurriedly told Meng Yuxin about the life-sustaining pill, Meng Yuxin wiped the sweat on his forehead after hearing it, and bowed to Liao Jicang, "This kindness has been recorded." ”

Liao Jicang waved his hand, "No merit, you should thank Mu Xiangye." ”

Meng Yuxin glanced at Mu Yanxi on the side, but this time he didn't open his mouth to drive her away.

Seeing that Meng Xiaochen's life was not in danger for the time being, Meng Yuxin said to Liao Jicang, "I need to go to see your teacher, please lead the way." ”

According to Meng Yuxin's identity as King Zuoxian, it is already very polite to say this.

But Liao Jicang still shook his head, "The teacher won't save the people of the Canglang Department." ”

Meng Yuxin said, "Didn't he take out the life-sustaining pill to save Xiaochen?" It can be seen that there are no absolutes. Meng Yuxin then patted the thing in his chest and said, "I have something he can't refuse, please lead the way." ”

Seeing that King Zuo Xian said so, Liao Jicang couldn't be rebellious, so he had to nod.

Meng Ruo followed and said, "I'm going to find a way to save my brother!" The voice was very resolute, Meng Yuxin thought about it for a moment and nodded.

He Nuo was also anxious to save his friend, and blurted out: "I'll go too." ”

Meng Yuxin shook his head and said, "What are you going to?" Don't mess around. ”

At this time, Liao Jicang spoke, "Let Nuo'er go, his kind of blood, the teacher will be interested." ”

"Oh?" Meng Yuxin saw Liao Jicang say this, thought for a while, and then nodded and acquiesced.

Mu Yanxi was still a little afraid of this Zuoxian King at the moment, and wanted to follow, but it was difficult to speak.

Meng Yuxin didn't seem to see Mu Yanxi, but when he walked to the door, he said:

"You take good care of Xiaochen here, don't let him down on how much he cares about you."
