Chapter 122: Turning Point
Pei Xiu looked at Qi Lao and said in disbelief: "Old man, don't you be joking, right?" ”
Old Qi glared at him, blew his white beard and said, "What did the old man lie to you?" Besides, would the old man joke about such a thing? ”
After he finished talking to Pei Xiu, he frowned and looked at Su Wanqing and said, "Girl Su, what's the matter with you?" My body is already a little weak, do you feel a little struggling to walk lately? Also, have you touched someone recently, this toxin, the old man has never seen it in Tianli Country. ”
Su Wanqing was stunned, she looked at Pei Xiu, and saw the same information in each other's eyes: that mysterious man in black!
Pei Xiu slammed the bed board hard, and said with a somewhat gloomy face: "It seems that that night, I was still careless." I didn't expect that man to be like that himself, and he dared to do something about medicine! ”
Qi Lao looked at Pei Xiu a little inexplicably, it seemed that both of them knew what was going on?
Su Wanqing looked at Qi Lao's puzzled eyes and took the initiative to explain: "Qi Lao, we met the man in black that night, who poisoned Prince Rong at the palace banquet. But because I was careless, I was caught by the man in black, and then ......"
Su Wanqing told Qi Lao all the details of that night, and on the night of the palace banquet, Qi Lao didn't have to go. When he heard that there was such a thing at the palace banquet, his eyes were a little surprised. Even the prince of the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom dared to do it, and the person behind the scenes was really bold enough.
Before Elder Qi could ask anything, Pei Xiu next to him had already said anxiously: "Old man, how is Wanwan's body?" Is there a way to heal? ”
Qi Lao's thoughts were suddenly pulled back by Pei Xiu, he looked at Su Wanqing, and said in a deep voice: "This poisonous old man has never seen it, and now after a few days, the toxin has spread in your body." Over time, I am afraid that I will break my muscles and bones and become a wasted person. If it's more serious, I'm afraid it will be life-threatening. ”
Hearing that it would be life-threatening, Pei Xiu's eyes changed suddenly. Before he could speak, Qi Lao waved his hand and said, "You kid, don't worry, although the old man can't cure Su Yatou, it doesn't mean that others can't cure it." ”
Pei Xiu grabbed the quilt next to the bed, gritted his teeth and said, "You can't even cure the old man, Xiu can't think of anyone else who can cure it." I can't accept that something happened tonight, it's all my fault, if I hadn't provoked the man in black, there wouldn't have been so much to do. ”
Su Wanqing looked at Pei Xiu, who was full of self-blame, took a few steps forward, and gently grabbed his hand.
"Xiu, what stupid thing are you talking about? It's not your fault, it's the man in black. Don't worry, let Grandpa Qi finish his words first. ”
Xu is Su Wanqing's appeasement played a role, and Pei Xiu calmed down a little. At the same time, he was a little annoyed, he lost his sense of proportion in front of Wanwan, which was simply not like him. However, as long as it was about Wanwan, he couldn't calm down.
Qi Lao looked at Pei Xiu, who had calmed down and looked at Pei Xiu, who was a little apologetic in his eyes, and said, "Look, you're in a hurry, will the old man hurt Su Yatou?" ”
Afterwards, Qi Lao looked at Su Wanqing again and said gently: "Although the old man can't cure the poison on your body, the old man has an old friend who has been known as Miao Lao for many years. His medical skills are not under the old man, he has been traveling all over the world all these years and has seen many strange poisons. Maybe he knows how to treat the poison in your body. ”
Before Su Wanqing could speak, Pei Xiu took over the conversation again: "Where is Miao Lao now?" ”
Old Qi knew that Pei Xiu was worried about Su Wanqing, so he no longer fought against him, and replied calmly: "How does the old man know? ”
Pei Xiu: "......"
Su Wanqing: "......"
Where will this disease be cured......
Qi Lao looked at the two who looked a little stunned, stroked his white beard and laughed "haha": "Miao Lao'er often has no head or tail of the dragon, he likes to run around, and rarely stays in one place for a long time. It had been five years since the last time the old man corresponded with him. So whether you can find Miao Lao depends on the will of God. ”
Pei Xiu endured it, but he still couldn't hold back, glared at Qi Lao and said, "Then how do you communicate with that Miao Lao on weekdays?" There's nowhere to send a letter. He was about to explode, but reason told him that he couldn't fight against Old Man Qi. If you mess with him, you won't be able to eat and walk around.
But finally there was a glimmer of hope, and now it has become so slim in an instant, how can he not be angry?
Qi Lao looked at Pei Xiu, who was holding back his anger, but he just blinked mischievously and said, "Mountain people have their own clever plans, and it can be said that the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed......
"Those five bottles of peach blossom drunk—"
"Okay, okay, old man, can I send the letter now? But where is Miao Lao'er now, whether you can wait to get him or not, it depends on your fate Su girl. Qi Lao said helplessly, this stinky boy knows how to pinch him. knows that his favorite is peach blossom drunk, hey, wine hurts people! He loves this set the most, what can he do?
Pei Xiu was a little satisfied: "Then you can go quickly." ”
Do you know how to use honorifics for him now? Qi Lao glared at Pei Xiu, then took out a delicate small wooden box from his arms, was silent for a while, but handed it to Su Wanqing, and said with some pain: "Su girl, you have taken this pill, which can make the poison in your body slower and not attack so quickly." This pill is a treasure that Lao Yu accidentally got a year ago, and it is hard to find a thousand gold in this world, you have to ask the Xiu boy to give Lao Yu a few more bottles of peach blossom drunk! ”
Su Wanqing listened to what Qi Lao said earlier, and knew that he was indeed very distressed about this pill, but she still gave it to herself. I didn't expect to hear it later, and it turned out that Qi Lao was waiting here to repair. She glanced at Pei Xiu amusedly, and said to Qi Lao: "Grandpa Qi, don't worry, the peach blossoms are drunk, you can drink as much as you want." ”
Qi Lao glanced at Pei Xiu, who was silent, and knew that he had compromised. He immediately stopped feeling heartache and went back to write a letter with a smile.
After Qi Lao left, the atmosphere in the room was a little condensed for a while.
Su Wanqing glanced at the sullen Pei Xiu, thought about it and comforted her: "Okay, isn't it just a few bottles of wine, don't be so stingy." ”
When Pei Xiu heard this, he glared at Su Wanqing and said, "I feel sorry for those wines, I feel sorry for your body!" Late, if that Miao Lao doesn't invite you, your body won't be able to hold on, and you're still like a nobody! ”
Su Wanqing knew that the man in front of her was also worried about herself, she sat down on the edge of the bed, took Pei Xiu's arm, shook it back and forth, and then said coquettishly: "Oh, Xiu, don't worry, it's useless to worry." You have to believe Grandpa Qi, he will definitely find Miao Lao. Besides, I still have the pills given by my grandfather here, so I won't have an accident so soon. In the past, when I went out on missions, I often wandered on the edge of danger, and I don't care about this bit of poison, so don't worry too much about me. ”
Looking at Su Wanqing's clear and calm eyes, Pei Xiu sighed lowly, grabbed her soft little hand, and said for a while: "You, ......" There is always a way to make him feel distressed.
Qi Lao's efficiency is not covered, and within three days, he actually brought back a good news: "Miao Lao is now in the Eastern Thunder Kingdom, but he still has things to do over there." Su girl, why don't you go directly? ”
Pei Xiu subconsciously frowned when he heard the word Dongli Kingdom. But he also knew that Wanwan's body could not be delayed, and this matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
However, now that he is "seriously ill", how can he avoid the eyes of the outside world and follow Wanwan to the Eastern Thunderbolt Country? Naturally, no one else can know about the poisoning of Wanwan. After all, with so many pairs of eyes staring at them, at this juncture, he would never allow anyone to hurt his Wanwan.
Pei Xiu thought that he was still "sick in bed", and couldn't help but punch the head of the bed, he really lifted a stone and hit his own foot. Otherwise, find someone to replace you.
Before Pei Xiu could say anything, Su Wanqing had already spoken: "Xiu, this time I will go to the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom by myself, now the whereabouts of the man in black are still unknown, and we don't know what his plot is." The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light, and we have already suffered losses. You can't leave the capital, and if something happens during this time, it's too late. ”
Pei Xiu naturally knew what was at stake, not to mention the man in black, the envoys from other countries were still in the capital, and no one dared to guarantee that there would be no chaos at that time.
"But...... "How can he rest assured that he will let Wanwan go to the Eastern Thunder Kingdom alone."
Elder Qi looked at Pei Xiu, who looked hesitant, and said after a while: "You kid, if you don't worry, the old man will follow." Although he is old, his body is still strong, and there is no problem to go to the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom. Besides, Miao Lao'er's whereabouts are unknown, if there is no old decay, you may not be able to find Su Yatou. ”
Su Wanqing wanted to refuse, but what Elder Qi said was not unreasonable. She thought about it, but she agreed, how could she refuse Qi Lao's kindness?
Pei Xiu looked at the two of them, thought about it, and sighed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll leave it to you that night." You can take care of me for the night. ”
Qi Lao looked at a certain man who was a little sluggish, and "hummed" and said, "Don't worry, I will take Su Yatou as my own granddaughter, and I will naturally take good care of her." ”
Pei Xiu glanced at Qi Lao gratefully and didn't say anything. He knew that between him and Qi Lao, he didn't need this, everything was in plain sight.
After Su Wanqing made a decision, she immediately began to prepare for the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom. As for the reason, Pei Xiu will help her solve it, and she doesn't need to worry about it.
The day of departure soon came, Su Wanqing was dressed in white, and after saying goodbye to the reluctant Pei Xiu in the palace, she put on a white veil and walked outside the palace gate. Qi Lao was already waiting for her in the carriage.
But next to the carriage, Su Wanqing also saw a person who surprised her a little.
"Wanqing, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?" Rong Yanyu said with a warm smile.
Su Wanqing bowed her head and said: "I'm fine, Yanyu, you are ......"
Rong Yanyu parked beside him a delicate and low-key carriage, which was the one he was sitting in when Su Wanqing first saw him that day.
Rong Yanyu put away the folding fan in his hand, pointed to the palace from afar, and said meaninglessly: "There is a man who is not at ease, and finally came to ask Yanyu for help, it is very interesting, it is not easy to look at that proud man like this." Besides, Wanqing, you are my friend again, go to the Eastern Thunderbolt Country, how can I, the host, be absent? Rong Yanyu blinked and said.
Su Wanqing suddenly understood, Pei Xiu was still not at ease with herself after all, and was willing to put down her body and ask Rong Yanyu for help. It's all fake to say that it's not moving.
What could be more touching than making a man put down his self-esteem just to make her move forward better?
