Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Mountain Rain is Coming
"Do you even know who the other person is?" Lingxi's demeanor at this time was not as relaxed as it was at the beginning, and it seemed that things were going in a direction that exceeded her expectations.
Shen Jue's eyelids didn't lift, but gently closed his eyes. After a while, I heard him say faintly: "Didn't you all guess? ”
Yun Hao walked up to Shen Jue and squatted down.
"I ask again, why does he want my life?"
Shen Jue squinted at the mask on Yun Hao's face, and moved his body, which had not changed his posture for a long time.
"Bai Gongzi, think about it yourself, a while ago, what did you ask your subordinates to pass on to the Qingyun County Lord?"
Yun Hao didn't answer.
Shen Jue continued: "Since it's all here, you can remember it well, that day in Osmanthus Town, at the moment of crisis in Lingxi, did you let the big and small judges go to relieve the siege?" By the way, he also asked Qingyun to go back and bring a message to the court. Say that the iron ore of Dahengguo is now all in your hands? ”
Yun Hao looked at him, slowly stood up, turned around again, and put his hands behind his back.
Ling Xi looked at the person in front of him, from the hippie smile at the beginning of the morning to the cold appearance now, and thought, no wonder this person can do such a big business. Even if you know that the enemy is such a powerful existence, you still don't panic.
"So he's going to kill me? Take back Hengguo's iron ore? Yun Hao finally spoke.
"At least, that's the reason he gave me." Shen Jue replied, "As for whether you have any other festivals, he doesn't need to mention it to the old man." ”
At this time, Bai Zhi seemed to suddenly react.
"He of whom you speak is of the Eternal Kingdom...... Emperor? He looked at Shen Jue in disbelief.
Medicine King Bai Zhi seemed to be unable to accept so much information at the moment for a while, and his expression was a little confused. The friends who grew up together since childhood have become people who covet wealth and vanity, and the object of their service is the Emperor Hengguo, and now this emperor wants to take the life of Bai Gongzi, the first businessman in the world!
"Humph! If it were only for that reason, I would not be afraid of him! Yun Hao looked at the dark night outside the window and said calmly.
But hearing him say this, Lingxi felt a little weird.
Is there any other reason for the emperor of a country to use such shady means to demand the life of a merchant?
But in what capacity could she ask him these obscure secrets?
"You two, you have asked and understood, just say how you want me to die at this moment!"
Quiet inside.
Ling Xi didn't know what to do with this poisonous king who would make the entire rivers and lakes terrified if he said it.
Maybe Xiao Chengli is here, and he would have let him go in with a red knife and a white knife out!
"Big Brother Bai? This man is here for your life, and since it has fallen into our hands, what should we do, I will listen to you! She threw this hot potato to Yun Hao.
Yun Hao sat back on the stool.
saw Bai Zhi suddenly stand up and hold Ling Xi's hand, just trembling.
"Lingxi, good niece. Your Uncle Bai begs you, can you give him to me! Let him and I go back to the master's gate, although my master and our master are long gone, but the Medicine King Valley is still there! I thought, maybe I should go back too! ”
As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down to Yun Hao, but Ling Xi helped him up again and again.
"Uncle Bai, Uncle Bai, I can't help it!"
But I heard Shen Jue shouting: "Old man Bai, what are you doing!" Even if I fold it here today, I will take it upon myself! Why do you ...... for me?"
"Shut up!" Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi suddenly scolded back with an annoyed face!
"I've worked hard all my life, I'm old, I'm old, you're here! The evening festival is not guaranteed!! Are you poisoned in your brain? Yes!? What fame and fortune do you want! Do you remember my master, your master! ”
“…… I ...... "Shen Jue."
"When I first started, I was earlier than you, and on the day you apprenticed, I was next to me, do you remember how you swore in front of your master that day?" The more Bai Zhi spoke, the more angry he became, and he walked to Shen Jue's side with a scolding.
"Learn poison and revere life. Never use the poison you have learned to harm the lives of others......"
Shen Jue's eyes were blank, just staring blankly into the distance, as if it was a long, long time ago.
At that time, he was also a good son in his youth, but he was suddenly selected by the God of Medicine to be a closed disciple. With indescribable joy and gratitude in his heart, he vowed to devote all his life to practicing medicine and helping the world.
Later, it was found out that he was asked to learn poison, and he was not happy at first. Later, I found that I was even more talented in using drugs. So he competed with Bai Zhi, who was of the same age as him, all day long, one refining poison and the other refining antidote......
Time flies, Shaohua is thin, and in a blink of an eye, the two are now in their twilight years.
Shen Jue's cloudy eyes suddenly shed tears.
"Old man Bai, I don't want you to know what I did!" His voice grew a little choked, "You know...... Even now, if I want to run, you can't stop me...... The poison I am all over, just with your little agarwood incense, how much can you fascinate me? Even if I am tied, I don't have the ability to summon poisonous insects? ”
"But...... Ever since you entered this door......" Shen Jue looked at Bai Zhi, "You entered this door, and I have been fighting in my heart!" ”
"You and I grew up together, and the two of them won and lost their own competitions. But today, if I run away, then you and I may win this game, but I may not be ashamed to see you again in this life. ”
"If I don't run, I'll lose if I'm tied up at the moment...... But win or lose...... I'm sure I've let you down. ”
Bai Zhi stomped his feet anxiously, "You, you, it's time for you, what are you talking about this!" ”
He turned to Yun Hao again and said, "Bai Gongzi, I know that it is very unreasonable for me to make this request, but I beg you to let him live, Shen Jue is not a great traitor, I promise, take him back to the Medicine King Valley, and he will not be born again in this life!" ”
After he finished speaking, he bent down towards Yun Hao.
Shen Jue looked at his body and straightened up: "Old man Bai." ”
Yun Hao looked at Ling Xi, but he didn't speak, he originally thought that if he could take this poison king for his own use and let him secretly continue to contact the Hengguo court, then he would be able to know more about the other party's actions and rely on him more.
Right now, Bai Zhi's request is a good step for him.
"Bai Zhi senior, I promise you that it is. Take him back! As for the future, I'll talk about that later. Yun Hao patted Bai Zhi's shoulder, "It's okay to go back to the Medicine King Valley, the world is not peaceful now, and the state of mind of the two of you is better to come out less." ”
He looked at Shen Jue again: "Today's matter, if you report back to that person, you will say that the plan was discovered by me, not only did I fail to take my life, but I was also seriously injured, and I want to go back to the Medicine King Valley to recuperate." Don't say a word. ”
Shen Jue looked up at the white boy with a mask on his face, and seemed to realize that he had accidentally entered a big chess game at this moment.
"Old man...... Got it......"
He nodded, everything in this world was not like the poisoned Gu in his hands, and he could control life and death.
