Chapter 420: Exploiting Loopholes
Although Xiao Mohan didn't say it, Qian Qianqian could also guess that he must have done a lot of tricks behind his back, otherwise the business in her store would not be so good.
"With your ingenuity, even if I don't help you, you can still find a way to gain a foothold in the capital, but it will take more time, and I will never dare to underestimate you."
Xiao Mohan's face did not change, but he glanced at Qian Qianqian lightly, although Qian Qianqian's appearance looked ordinary, but there was always a bit of agility and cunning in those eyes, just like a little wild cat, she could survive wherever she was thrown.
"I'll just treat you as a compliment."
Qian Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, Xiao Mohan rarely said this kind of thing, she could make Xiao Mohan dare not underestimate it, it was indeed her ability, and she gladly accepted it, anyway, not everyone has this ability.
At night, Qian Qianqian was about to rest under Xue Yi's service, when suddenly a stone flew in from outside, the wooden window was hidden, and a cool breeze blew, bringing a trace of coolness.
Qian Qianqian and Xue Yi both found out about this, but no one moved, and someone outside couldn't move the tiger away from the mountain, so they had to stay still.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, Xue Yi and Qian Qianqian looked at each other, Xue Yi went over to open the door, and saw a maid standing at the door, looking anxious.
"Miss Qian, it's not good, the little boy suddenly has a high fever and is unconscious right now, go over and take a look."
As soon as the maid saw Xue Yi, she poked her head in, and couldn't wait to speak, and Qian Qianqian heard what she said, and immediately walked over.
"What do you say? This is so good, how can Brother Yao have a fever? β
Qian Qianqian suddenly became nervous, looking at this maid, she was indeed serving Qian Yao, it seems that there are really a lot of things that happened tonight.
"I don't know about this slave, so let's go and have a look."
The maid was also helpless, Qian Qianqian thought of the stone just now, and couldn't help but hesitate, if she left, maybe someone would sneak in.
"You go and get a doctor, I'll come back later." Qian Qianqian pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, giving the maid a look.
The maid nodded, turned around and left, Qian Qianqian and Xue Yi entered the house, both of them looked solemn and had something to say in their hearts, but they never made a sound.
"Since you're here, come out, why hide?" Xue Yi looked out the window and spoke slowly, her face full of vigilance, her brows furrowed, and her hand unconsciously reached to her waist.
A strange fragrance wafted in, and a woman in purple flew in from the window, sitting by the table, her eyebrows were charming, and her every move was full of indescribable charm.
"Tsukihime, what are you doing here?" Qian Qianqian recognized it at a glance, this is the General's Mansion, and Yueji actually dared to come, which means that she must have some ulterior motives.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, this is the General's Mansion, and the antidote is still in General Xiao's hands, I just want to make a deal with you."
Tsukihime slowly raised her eyes, her eyes were full of cunning, and her voice was soft, and it didn't seem to be a ripple, but there was always a little danger coming.
"What's a good deal between you and me? I don't have the antidote you want here, if you want to trade, you better go to General Xiao. β
Qian Qianqian sneered, not giving Yueji a good face at all, she faintly felt that Qian Yao had a fever and had nothing to do with Yueji.
"This matter is only related to you, I am here to find you, it is completely useless to find others, Miss Qian, I know you hate me, but if you sit down and listen to me finish talking about this, maybe you will change your mind."
Yueji is very persistent, it seems that she came prepared, and she must explain this matter to Qian Qianqian, otherwise she will not give up.
Anyway, there was Xue Yi in the house, and Liang Yueji didn't dare to act rashly, so Qian Qianqian simply sat down, staring at Yueji's every move, not daring to relax in the slightest.
"Miss Qian, you also know that General Xiao asked me to exchange Xiao Heng's military salary for the antidote, I have tried my best in the past few days, but there is no way, Xiao Heng looks at the silver too tightly, I can't start, I thought about it carefully, only you can help me in this matter."
Yueji went straight to the point, looking at Qian Qianqian from time to time, her eyes were also ambiguous, and the half of her face hidden under the purple veil looked very weird.
"I'll help you? Why? Qian Qianqian sneered, feeling that Yueji's words were simply ridiculous, and swore that she would help, I don't know where the courage came from.
"After all, you and I are enemies, so naturally you have no reason to help me, but if I promise that as long as you help me this time, I will not provoke your family again?"
Yueji lowered her eyes, her voice trembled a little, and it could be seen that her heart hurt again, and it seemed that she was also tortured so much that she couldn't stand it, so she made this decision.
"Joke, my family has its own General Xiao protection, even if you want to provoke them, you have to see if you have the ability, you can't protect yourself, what qualifications do you have in front of me?"
Qian Qianqian remained silent, she didn't take Yueji in her eyes at all, she was not a light enemy, she just felt that Yueji was too naΓ―ve to say such things.
"I can't protect myself, but don't forget, there are still a lot of central state works in Lianzhou City, as long as I give an order, they will attack your family, even if there is the protection of the General's Mansion, those younger brothers and sisters of yours are still young, can they really withstand it?"
Yueji said very firmly, it seems that she has made up her mind, Qian Mu and the others have no guts, Qian Hui and Qian Xuan are indeed young, if someone attacks them, they may not be able to escape safely.
"You said you promised not to hurt my family, what guarantee did you take? If I help you get the antidote, you turn around and attack them, who will I talk to when the time comes? β
Qian Qianqian is not a fool, she is not so easy to be fooled, Yueji has always been cunning, and she doesn't have a few words of truth in her mouth, so she won't believe it so easily.
"I know you can't believe me, so I deliberately set up a note, on which is my handwriting, using the unique graphite of the central country, others will know when they hear it, if I lie to you, you can take it and give it to Xiao Heng, saying that I colluded with you and betrayed him, and Xiao Heng will never let me go when the time comes."
Yueji took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to Qian Qianqian, it seemed that she was fully prepared, but Qian Qianqian didn't think so.
"No, if you deny it at that time and say that I framed me, Xiao Heng will naturally believe you, but not me, you better go, I won't agree to this deal."
Qian Qianqian is very sober in her heart, Yueji is not a simple person, she can run in Xiao Country for so many years, and she can escape from Xiao Mohan's hands again and again, she doesn't dare to carry Xiao Mohan on her back, so she can easily do this.
"I heard that your brother has a fever, the situation should be quite serious, if you don't agree, the situation will only get worse, you know me, as long as I am not happy, you should not think about it."
Yueji's gaze became fierce, staring at Qian Qianqian, her hands clenched into fists, she was out tonight, no matter what, she had to fight for a glimmer of life for herself.
"Sure enough, it's you who did it, you want to use Brother Yao to force me, you are dreaming, I was still a little tempted by this transaction, but if you hurt Brother Yao, I will not agree to you."
Qian Qianqian is also stubborn, she hates being threatened the most, Yueji has made trouble several times and threatened her, she can't help it anyway.
Yueji's fists clenched tighter and tighter, tonight Xiao Mohan went to the palace to take care of the emperor, the emperor's condition was at a critical moment, as long as he survived tonight, he would be fine, so Xiao Mohan was summoned into the palace early in the morning.
"Don't force me, I leave room for you, if you don't know the current affairs, I'm not welcome."
Yueji got up suddenly, her eyes were full of murder, as if she would make a move at any time, she finally caught this opportunity, Xiao Mohan was not in the mansion, if she couldn't get it, wouldn't all her preparations be in vain?
Xue Yi protected Qian Qianqian behind her, pulled out the long whip at her waist, and her face was tense, as long as Yueji dared to make a move, she would not be half a step behind.
"You don't have to be so nervous, I won't do it, it's just that if Qian Yao's fever doesn't subside within three hours, there will be only one way to die, you say, those family members, can you invite the doctor within three hours?"
Yueji calmed down a little, knowing that it would definitely not work at this time, she had already taken advantage of a loophole, and if she attracted other people from the General's Mansion, she would probably not be able to leave.
"I'm going to see Qian Yao." As soon as Qian Qianqian's voice fell, she rushed out, but Yueji took a few steps forward and stopped her.
"Do you think you can still get out of this room?"
Tsukihime looked around, and said lightly, she had already ordered someone to lure away Yuan Ying, so no one could find them at all now.
There is only one Xue Yi by Qian Qianqian's side, if Xue Yi is desperate, she can naturally escort her out, but in this way, Qian Yao's side may be in danger.
"Okay, I promise you, as long as you let Qian Yao and my family members go, I will ask for an antidote for you."
Qian Qianqian nodded, although she was reluctant, but she still nodded, it is important to save Qian Yao at the moment, these things can be put aside, maybe there will be a turnaround.
"Miss Qian really understands current affairs, this is a fever medicine, but there is only one pill in it, which is only enough for Qian Yao to temporarily reduce his fever, if he doesn't take another pill within three days, he will die and cry, no matter what miracle doctor, he can't save him, so you only have three days."
Yueji had already planned everything, threw a white porcelain bottle into Qian Qianqian's hand, and the note was also put on the table.
Qian Qianqian took the bottle of medicine and was about to go out, but she didn't expect to meet Yuan Ying at the door.
"Miss Qian, you don't need to be threatened by her, Qian Yao's fever has subsided."
Yuan Ying spoke slowly, it seemed that he had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw Qian Qianqian come out, there was no panic on his face.
When Tsukihime heard the voice, she immediately took a few steps back, and Yuan Ying walked in, just glancing at Tsukihime coldly, with a bit of mockery on her face.
"Don't think that if General Xiao is not in the mansion, you will be able to take advantage of the loophole, if you don't go back, I'm afraid Xiao Heng will come to arrest you."
