Chapter 69: Preparing the Antidote (4)

Li Ran waited for a cup of tea, Xiao Yuexi's face did not change, and his pulse did not change - it was still slowly developing in the direction of deterioration.

Li Ran had a sad face, and Xiao Yuexi was no better, sitting there for a long time without moving. Seeing her like this, Li Ran thought something was wrong, and couldn't help but get nervous, and couldn't help asking, "Is something happening over there?" ”

Xiao Yuexi finally looked away from the letter, landed on Li Ran's face, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything for a long time.

Li Ran: "...... This medicine does not detoxify, but poisons you dumbly? ”

"That ......" Xiao Yuexi's face was heavy, her tone was solemn, and after a while, Li Ran waited for her next words: "Why don't you send a letter to Beijing and tell him that my body is not suitable for long-distance fatigue or something......"

"......" Li Ran almost fell off the stool, and it took a while to react, and he laughed for a while before he raised his eyebrows at her gloatingly: "What?" The surname Mu urged you to go back? ”

Xiao Yuexi had never seen such an act of going back on her word and not believing it, and she was a little dumbfounded at this time, so she forgot to see it like Li Ran.

Li Ran said: "I advise you to save it, the surname Mu is a big hit this time......

Before Li Ran could say the next words, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Childe, Lord Wei is here." The sound of riding the wind sounded from outside the door. "I said that there is a new progress, and I want to discuss it with you."

Li Ran's eyebrows furrowed, he looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and said, "You better rest early, and wait until tomorrow if you have anything." ”

Xiao Yuexi naturally wouldn't listen to him, so she shouted outside: "Please come in, Lord Wei." Li Ran was so angry that he didn't bother to care about this lifeless idiot!

After a while, a room of people with solemn faces regarded Xiao Yuexi's room as a place for temporary deliberations, and glanced at each other, and the first to break the silence was Wei Chang: "There is no whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Xian for the time being, but I think I should have found the families of the miners you mentioned in Gongzi Xi." ”

The last sentence, he said to Xiao Yuexi, although the people sitting in the room were all his own people, but Wei Chang was still very cautious, and he never explained Xiao Yuexi's identity.

Xiao Yuexi, who originally had a tired face because of the strength of the medicine, came to his senses and said, "Lord Wei, please elaborate." ”

Yesterday, Wei Chang carried that subtle clue and hope, and personally led people to the upper reaches of the Xijiang River to investigate. Stayed up all night and got only one uninhabited result. Everything is as Xiao Yuexi said, the epidemic is so serious that the sick are sent to the epidemic center, and those who are not sick can run as far as they can, and there is no one in the fishing village, and all abnormalities will become invisible.

His Royal Highness King Xian seemed to have never appeared here, and Wei Chang doubted the authenticity of what Ling Suihan said, and at the same time asked people to prepare to go home. However, at this juncture, an unexpected situation happened.

Yao Shensong, who kindly followed him to help, suddenly disappeared, at first he thought that he had gone far away by himself, and the family general searched around, but no one was found, so he began to panic.

Outsiders may not know how precious Lord Wei is on weekdays, but there are no people in Lord Wei's mansion who don't know. The thought that maybe they were too busy to investigate and lost people made me even more panicked.

When the sun was sinking and Wei Chang was almost storming, Yao Shensong came out of the cellar of a family in full view of everyone......

Xiao Yuexi looked at Yao Shensong, who was still a little pale, and recalled the appearance of him when he first entered the door - it seemed that his feet were still a little lame.

Sensing her gaze, Yao Shensong returned her a modest and polite smile, and consciously explained: "I first saw that the location of a family that originally had a cellar was sealed, and I thought it was strange, so I went from house to house, and found that most of them were temporarily sealed. I wanted someone to come and see it, but I didn't want the temporary sealing stone to be strong, so I fell down. ”

Wei Chang's face was ugly, especially after hearing Yao Shensong's words, it was as if he was about to turn into a man-eating monster on the spot, and his eyes glared at Yao Shensong with terrifying eyes.

Yao Shensong didn't care about outsiders, and carefully pulled his sleeve, which was waved away by him......

Xiao Yuexi couldn't bear to look at it directly, feeling that it was really not a good time to exchange information at this time.

Ling Suihan had never had this kind of look, and asked bluntly: "Mr. Yao fell into the cellar, even if he can't go up, he should be able to call people, right?" And the cellar, didn't the soldiers who looked for Mr. Yao find that there was no gap in that position? ”

As soon as the two questions were raised, Lord Wei's face looked better, Yao Shensong looked at him cautiously and helplessly for a while, and then turned his head and said, "I really don't have a chance to call someone...... As soon as I landed, the ground parted, and I fell into a mezzanine, and the top of my head was heavy and sealed, and even if the people above found the cellar entrance, they would only think that they had misremembered it before, and there was a cellar here. ”

Ling Suihan: "In a small fishing village, the cellar of an ordinary fisherman's house was first blocked, and then a mechanism was set up underneath, heh! I'm curious just by listening to it, Mr. Yao can't help but take a walk through that secret passage, right? ”

Yao Shensong nodded: "I once received a southern pearl before, although it is not as precious and translucent as the night pearl, but it is usually just right to take a photo, so I often carry it on my body." Then Nanzhu's light, I couldn't find where the mechanism was for a while, so I had to go down the secret passage. ”

After walking for a long time, Yao Shensong suddenly heard the sound of wheels rolling from the corner in the distance, he had been walking cautiously all the way, and he didn't dare to breathe at this time, so he moved a few steps forward cautiously, in the dark, the sound became clear, and he finally heard clearly, not only the sound of wheels, but also two men.

"Deliver food?" A full of temperament male voice, sounding strong and powerful.

The sound of wheels stopped, and someone replied with a stiff "um".

Listening to the sound of wheels, Yao Shensong judged that there should be quite a few people he sent food.

The food delivery person asked, "Did you bring it out today?" ”

Goalkeeper: "No, no! Although several little cubs are sick and crooked, none of them died today. ”

"Well, be careful! It's useful for these people to keep it. ”

"Alas! Yes, yes, yes! The ......" The gatekeeper hesitated suddenly.

The food delivery person said impatiently: "What else is the matter?" I'm leaving! ”

The gatekeeper suddenly asked nervously and whispered: "I heard that someone is checking on the ground now, do you think there will be ...... here?"

"Why are you such a bear when you're a big man? Not every cellar hides the entrance to the tunnel, besides, he doesn't know the mechanism of the tunnel when he finds the cellar, why are you panicking? Watch your door! ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and the food delivery person walked away, leaving one of the guards behind him, and he could no longer hear any important information.

There was only one route from that cellar to here, with few forks in between. Yao Shensong didn't dare to startle the snake, turned back the same way, and concentrated on finding the mechanism of the secret passage.

Then there was a scene of him getting out of the cellar in embarrassment in full view of everyone.

Yao Shensong: "All I heard was those few sentences, and when I heard about the children, I thought of the absenteeism that Xi Gongzi said before, which is not necessarily accurate, and it should all be used as a reference." ”

Wei Chang glared at him again and again for a long time before he said with a calm face: "I didn't dare to startle the snake, I just sent someone to guard secretly, and I came back to discuss it with you, how should I deal with it next?" ”

After asking these questions, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Yuexi's body.

Xiao Yuexi was stunned for a moment, then pulled the corners of her mouth, and said in surprise: "Why is the backbone of the main heart on me now?" ”

Needless to say, the purpose of his trip is centered on Xiao Yuexi. Although Ling Suihan still had a lot of doubts, he had always been used to listening to Xiao Yuexi's orders, but Wei Chang and Yao Shensong both looked at her, and even Li Ran was looking at her, which made her a little embarrassed.

She touched her nose, didn't talk nonsense, looked at Wei Chang and said, "Don't be afraid to startle the snake, don't be surprised, how can we catch it?" ”

Wei Chang looked at her, and there was still a trace of confusion in his eyes. Xiao Yuexi continued: "Listening to Yao Gongzi's description, I think that authentic mechanism only needs to be smashed to open. But you don't have to rush to open it first, smash open the sealed cellar opening, don't move too fast, smash one by one, look at it one by one, drag it out for two or three days, and someone will not be able to sit still. ”

Although the efficiency is slow, it must be very efficient, and everyone nodded in acquiescence.

Li Ran, who had not said a word, saw it, and suddenly said loudly: "Okay, since the plan has been decided, you should disperse quickly, the patient needs to rest!" ”

Xiao Yuexi glared at him.

The rest of the crowd looked at Li Ran blankly, as if they were silently asking who the patient was.

The patient himself hurriedly explained: "I had a cold and caused an attack of old injuries, which was not very serious. ”

Wei Chang was still angry, thinking about how to settle accounts with Yao Shensong, and when he heard this, he found a suitable reason to leave, and hurriedly dragged Yao Shensong to leave.

The rest of Ling Suihan and Chengfeng's complexions were very good-looking.

Ling Suihan looked at Xiao Yuexi worriedly for a while, and then said firmly: "Heh! It's not a shame how many times you've been injured before the New Year! ”

Xiao Yuexi scolded with a smile: "Get out! ”

Seeing that Ling Sui's cold face was rolling like water, he turned his head in the wind and said with a sad face: "Why did Madame's old injury attack come back again?" I am afraid that my subordinates will return to Beijing this time, and I hope that my wife will take care of the subordinates' families for the sake of their subordinates' cautious and dedicating themselves in the past few days......"

Chengfeng rarely said so many words in one breath, which made Xiao Yuexi cry and laugh, and comforted helplessly: "Your good days are coming soon, your master urges me to go back." ”

Chengfeng's eyes lit up: "What? Is Madame going back? ”

Xiao Yuexi smiled at him, and simply said decisively: "No." ”

"......" fell in place by the wind.
