Chapter 224: Going up the mountain to find medicine

Qian Qianqian stopped, raised her head, and just bumped into Xiao Mohan's deep eyes, the prescription was hidden in her sleeve, and Jiang Sheng saluted Xiao Mohan, standing aside and bowing his head in silence.

"Show me the prescription." Xiao Mohan stretched out his hand, there was no superfluous look on his face, and his eyes were deep, making it impossible to see the end at a glance.

Qian Qianqian didn't rub it, took out the prescription from her sleeve, and handed it to Xiao Mohan, this prescription was not a big deal originally, Xiao Mohan was a general, and it didn't hurt to show him, but she felt in her heart that Xiao Mohan's prescription was completely superfluous, because he didn't know medical skills.

In fact, Xiao Mohan really couldn't understand these medicinal materials, so he just glanced at them and put this prescription into his pocket.

"It's not safe for you to go alone, I'll go with you, Jiang Sheng, you stay and take care of these poisoned people."

Xiao Mohan gave a faint order, and was about to turn around and leave, when Qian Qianqian suddenly came back to her senses and immediately rushed up to stop him.

"This is not appropriate, you are a general, you have the heavy responsibility of defending Xiao Guo, it is dangerous and troublesome to go up the mountain to collect medicine, if you are not at ease, let Steward Li, or someone else in the mansion go with me."

Qian Qianqian stood in front of Xiao Mohan, raised her head, and looked at him with some difficulty, Xiao Mohan was already tall, Qian Qianqian stood in front of him, really like a wild cat with teeth and claws.

"They all have something to do, they are not idlers, besides, the current situation is not good, I don't worry about any of them accompanying you, I can only do it myself."

Xiao Mohan said extremely firmly, which attracted the attention of many people around him, Qian Qianqian found out that something was wrong, and lowered her head in a hurry, and bit her lower lip.

She is now dressed in men's clothes, although Xiao Mohan didn't treat her well, but if she said such an ambiguous word, a fool could hear what it meant, in order to avoid being too embarrassed, Qian Qianqian hurriedly nodded and agreed.

"Since the general wants to go, then let's go, Doctor Jiang, those poisoned people, but I have to bother you more."

Qian Qianqian coughed lightly twice, deliberately changed the topic, and said something to Jiang Sheng, in fact, she knew in her heart that her words were nonsense at all, Jiang Sheng stayed, could she not bother to take care of those people?

"Boss Qian, don't worry, I will do my duty." Jiang Sheng bowed slightly, his every move was respectful and polite, his eyebrows were delicate, and he was dressed in a moon-white robe, which was really warm and moist like jade.

Qian Qianqian glanced at Jiang Sheng, then turned around and walked out, Xiao Mohan quickly caught up with her pace, everything in this house does not need to be explained, Steward Li will arrange it, as for the matter of water transfer, Xue Yi has always been watching, and there will be no chaos.

Wood turtle grass often grows in the deep mountains, Qian Qianqian saw it when she went to the back mountain of Qianjia Village to collect medicine, so she knew where to find it, looking at the entire Jincheng, the most likely to grow that wood turtle grass should be Beishan.

So Qian Qianqian went straight to Beishan, Xiao Mohan walked beside her, the whole person was much taller than her, judging from the back, she was really a little bird.

"Actually, you didn't have to come with me, this wood turtle root is extremely difficult to find, if the last prescription is useful, it's fine, if it doesn't work, wouldn't you run for nothing?"

Qian Qianqian reminded Xiao Mohan that although Xiao Mohan was there and could protect her safety, there was only Xiao Mohan by her side, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Since Jiang Sheng can take out this prescription, then this prescription must be useful."

Xiao Mohan lightly opened his thin lips and said very firmly, so that Qian Qianqian did not have the slightest power to refute, and it could be seen that he knew Jiang Sheng very well.

"Then why don't you bring a few followers? Isn't it too dangerous to come alone with me? ”

Qian Qianqian was a little puzzled when she went out, and it was still the case, just now Steward Li and Jiang Sheng were there, and it was really strange that Xiao Mohan wanted to go out with Qian Qianqian alone to collect medicine, but they didn't stop it.

"Right now, the people of Jincheng are important, the General's Mansion has long been out of redundant manpower, and Jiang Sheng and Steward Li also have their own affairs, all of which are inconvenient, so I can only run with you personally."

Xiao Mohan's face did not change, and explained unhurriedly that Qian Qianqian had been helping Jiang Sheng take care of the poisoned people for the past few days, so he didn't know much about the situation outside, but he didn't expect it to come to such a point.

"Then what did Jiang Sheng's family do to offend the emperor? In the end, he ended up in exile. ”

Qian Qianqian's words changed, she had always been curious before, but she didn't dare to mention it in front of Jiang Sheng, for fear that she would accidentally poke Jiang Sheng's sadness and make Jiang Sheng unhappy.

"In the harem battle, Jiang Sheng's father was used to kill the emperor's favorite concubine, if I hadn't tried to protect it in the palace, their family would have been beheaded for public display, and exile would at least save one life."

Xiao Mohan said lightly, speaking lightly, Qian Qianqian's heart suddenly understood, although she was just a little country girl after crossing here, and she had never even been to the capital, but in the past, in modern times, she had also watched a lot of palace fights and TV series, so she still knew something in her heart.

"Then haven't you thought about overturning the case for the Jiang family? If it continues like this, Jiang Sheng will always be the son of a criminal minister, if his identity is revealed, won't it implicate you? ”

Qian Qianqian continued to ask, this kind of thing affects the whole body, and Jiang Sheng's identity can't be hidden for a lifetime, so it's better to solve it earlier.

"Now is not the time, I understand the emperor's temperament, even after three years, I still haven't been able to fully collect evidence in favor of the Jiang family, as long as the evidence is insufficient, I can't speak."

Xiao Mohan seems to have made a plan a long time ago, so he has been hiding Jiang Sheng in the army, and when the time is ripe, he will collect all the evidence properly, and it will not be too late to overturn the case for the Jiang family.

"I think Dr. Jiang is a usable talent, and he has been kept in the army, isn't it too wronged to him, if he can be brought back to Lianzhou and placed in the General's Mansion, wouldn't it be more useful?"

The doubts in Qian Qianqian's heart intensified, and her eyebrows twisted into a dead knot, but such a serious appearance attracted Xiao Mohan.

"What's wrong with you today? I've been inquiring about Jiang Sheng, maybe I have something thinking about him. ”

Xiao Mohan turned his head and looked Qian Qianqian up and down, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his eyes were full of temptation.

"What do you want? How long have I been with Jiang Sheng, how can I have any thoughts about him? ”

Qian Qianqian's face turned red, and she glanced at Xiao Mohan, her face was full of helplessness, Xiao Mohan's vinegar strength really couldn't be changed at any time.

"That's good." Xiao Mohan remained silent, his thin lips were lightly hooked, and there was a touch of cunning in his deep eyes.

Qian Qianqian shook her head, and then sped up her pace, but no matter how she sped up, she couldn't be faster than Xiao Mohan, after all, Xiao Mohan took one step, and she could take two steps against her, and the innate advantage was here, no way.

Beishan is not too far from the General's Mansion, and Jincheng is not big in the first place, so in less than half a day, they walked to the foot of Beishan.

"I'll go first, you follow me, be careful." As soon as Xiao Mohan's voice fell, he raised his feet and went up the mountain, but before Qian Qianqian could speak, he could only follow immediately.

Although this North Mountain looks not big, this forest barrier is extremely deep, full of cliffs, weeds and gravel, it is very difficult to walk, Qian Qianqian almost broke her foot several times, but fortunately, Xiao Mohan helped her in time.

"Slow down, don't worry, don't find the herbs, you fell first."

Xiao Mohan grabbed Qian Qianqian's wrist and imprisoned her in her arms, she subconsciously hugged Xiao Mohan's waist, although she didn't want to be so close to Xiao Mohan, but there was no way to do it, it was important to find the roots of the turtle.

Qian Qianqian and Xiao Mohan walked into the depths of the woods, their vision became narrower and narrower, and their eyes became darker and darker.

With Xiao Mohan's support, Qian Qianqian walked more steadily, but there were too many gravel on the soles of her feet, which were too sharp, and the soles of her feet hurt.

"Look, what's that?" Qian Qianqian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to a withered yellow not far away, and suddenly became excited.

Xiao Mohan also followed her line of sight, but he didn't see anything abnormal, he didn't know any wood turtle grass roots, so he could only count on Qian Qianqian.

Qian Qianqian strode over, one was not careful, her feet were unstable, and she almost fell, Xiao Mohan couldn't pull it, so she could only follow Qian Qianqian's footsteps and walked to the place where there was a smear of yellow.

"It's a turtle grass, that's great." Qian Qianqian was overjoyed, and immediately leaned over, took out the shovel she was carrying, and dug out the rhizome under the wood turtle grass.

Qian Qianqian knew in her heart that this wood turtle grass had always grown in patches, so since she had found these few plants, she would definitely be able to find more in the vicinity.

Qian Qianqian took off the burden on her body, put all the roots of the wooden turtle into the baggage, and was about to get up, when a cold light flashed behind her, and a sharp arrow shot at her.

"Be careful!" Xiao Mohan's eyes were quick, he grabbed Qian Qianqian, dodged and dodged, and the sharp arrow flew into the air and shot at the trunk of the tree on the side.

Qian Qianqian also came back to her senses, her heart immediately hung in her throat, her hands clenched into fists, hiding behind Xiao Mohan, her face turned pale.

Xiao Mohan looked around, his hand unconsciously reached to his waist, clenched the hilt of his sword, and was ready to strike at any time.

Suddenly, a cool breeze struck, and the surrounding grass and trees swayed, making a "rustling" sound, a few fallen leaves slowly fell, and a few black shadows suddenly appeared in the forest.

Xiao Mohan turned around suddenly, drew his long sword, and when those black shadows attacked, he immediately swung his sword to block it, firmly protecting Qian Qianqian behind him.

The black-clothed people were all dressed in neat short clothes, with face toveils covering their faces, only revealing a pair of eyes, their eyes were sharp and murderous, and they were not good at first glance.

But Xiao Mohan is not a vegetarian, after a few moves in a row, the two sides are comparable, the victory is inseparable, Xiao Mohan's martial arts are strong, but Xiao Mohan is strong in martial arts, but his two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, and soon after, the situation gradually changed.

Qian Qianqian watched from the side, her heart was also very anxious, a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and her hand reached into her sleeve and clenched the dagger hidden inside.

These black-clothed people are obviously specially trained, and they specifically pick on Xiao Mohan's difficult places to defend, making Xiao Mohan more and more difficult to deal with.

It's just that these people have been pestering Xiao Mohan and haven't paid attention to Qian Qianqian, so Qian Qianqian concluded in her heart that the target of these people is Xiao Mohan, and as for others, they didn't pay attention to them.
