The one who opened the door was an old man with a white face and beard, he was wearing a navy blue coarse cloth straight-grained round-necked robe, his height was only as high as Li Xuan's shoulders, his stomach was round, his face was also ruddy and smooth, and only his hair was half white.

"I've seen Zou Lao." Li Qi took a step back and bent down, which was a sincere gift.

Shen Qiutan's little eyes rolled, could it be that he wanted to be left? Didn't King Qi come to kill Zou Lao?

Zou Lao nodded with a smile, and turned sideways to open the small door: "Come in and say." ”

The room is not large, divided into two small rooms, one of which is half-covered with a bed curtain, which should be a bedroom, and the one where a few people are standing has a table, chair and bookcase, which is supposed to be used as a study and living room.

Zou Lao led Li Qian to sit, and the black-faced guard stood behind Li Qi with two fat squirrels in his arms.

"Reach out." As soon as Zou Lao spoke, Li Qian respectfully stretched out his arm, Zou Lao took out a pulse pillow and put it under Li Chen's wrist, put three fingers on it, and the room was silent.

It turns out that this old Zou is a doctor! Shen Qiutan obediently let the guard hold him, and decided to wait and see what happened first.

For a long time, Zou Lao seemed to want to touch his beard, but when his hand reached his mouth, he thought that his beard had been shaved, so he put down his hand casually: "What's the discomfort lately?" ”

Li Qian thought for a while: "It's okay, but my sense of hearing and smell is more keen." ”

Zou Lao nodded: "How often does that poison attack?" ”

"From once every three months before, to once every five months now."

Zou Lao looked at him and sighed slightly: "The old decay I said before will not be repeated, and it is also your choice to use your lifespan to suppress the poison." However, there is a gain and a loss in everything in the world. You're in good shape now, and your strength is very comparable, but it all comes at a price. ”

Li Xuan was silent and did not speak, but his face was like a rock and he couldn't turn around.

"That's it, let Lao Yu adjust your weight for you and help you survive for a few more years."

Zou Lao shook his head and said earnestly: "Your Royal Highness, the life of a person is not easy, I don't think there is much to say about the old decay, the parents of the body and the skin, the old decay will advise you again, if you stop now, it is still too late!" When you are old and reach the age of Zou, you will know that nothing is more important than being alive. ”

Li Qian nodded indiscriminately, his dark eyes not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Qiutan was a little dumbfounded, did this King of Qi exchange his life for infinite strength? Why? He has a lot of guards around him, so he doesn't have much strength and doesn't care, right? What is this man trying to do, and the cycle of poison attacks, he is poisoned? What kind of poison is it that makes King Qi use his life to fight poison?

She wouldn't know that strength is just a bonus to resist the erosion of dyeing incense with lifespan, and Li Qi doesn't have to be strong, he just wants to live soberly, at least give him twenty years, so that he can save the mountains and rivers that are about to be broken.

Twenty years later, he doesn't care if he's dead or alive, the walking dead or a madman.

Zou Lao said, why didn't he think about it, but what if he thought about it?

He was never a man of choice.

Seeing that he was silent, Zou Lao sighed again: "Let's go!" ”

He took a pen and paper, and quickly wrote the recipe, Li Qian respectfully took it, and asked, "I don't know what happened to Zou Lao when he entered Beijing this time?" If there is a place that can be used as a kid, please don't be polite to Zou Lao. ”

He called himself a "boy", and his attitude was extremely low, Shen Qiutan could see that he really respected this Zou Lao, maybe this King of Qi was not so unbearable.

Hey, what a man full of contradictions.

The fat squirrel tilted his head, unable to figure it out.

Zou Lao smiled: "Haha, there is no need to bother Your Highness, it was my little apprentice who sneaked to the capital, and I came to look for her if I didn't worry." ”

Li Xuan's eyes moved: "Do you need me to find some people to help you find it?" ”

"No, no, that little guy with oil on the soles of his feet has already run away!" Zou Lao scolded in his mouth, but there was a smile in his eyes: "Alas, people are old, and now they have returned to their homeland for a few more days." Your Highness is also in a difficult situation now, so take care of yourself! ”

Li Qi got up and respectfully retired.

The old Zou in the house sighed again and again.

Li Qian did not leave the Baotai Silver Building directly, but returned to the front hall from the back hall, and went up to the third floor, and after waiting for a while, he saw the shopkeeper take out a pair of moist and transparent jade bracelets and a piece of seed material.

It turned out that this was processed by King Qi asked Baotai Yinlou to process it on his behalf, and the purpose was to cover people's eyes.

Then, he took the two squirrels to Shixiangju.

Shen Qiutan's eyes lit up, she was familiar with this place!

It's all delicious!

As a result, Li Qian asked for a private room and ordered a large table of dishes, but in the end, he didn't move a single chopstick.

He took out the pair of jade bracelets from his arms, and didn't know what he was thinking, Shen Qiutan quietly stole a piece of yellow rice cake, and before he could eat it in his mouth, his ears heard a "popping tower", and when he looked at it again, it turned out to be King Qi crying.

Even in the noisy Shixiangju on the street, Shen Qiutan could block out the chaotic sound, and this sound still came into her ears clearly.

Hot tears fell onto the bracelet, making an undetectable splash.

The boy's emaciated shoulders shook, apparently trying to suppress the pain and cries in his heart. Only then did Shen Qiutan remember that no matter how powerful this King of Qi was, he was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

He cried lonely, his face and hands were too thin, revealing some prominent cyan veins, and his complexion became whiter, like snow in winter, like the boy he had saved.

Ay? What the!

No wonder he felt that this King Qi was a little kind, and the more Shen Qiutan looked at King Qi, the more he felt that he was a little like the young man he had saved.

It's just that at that time, the young man always closed his eyes, and finally opened his eyes and came out of the cave, it was dark outside, and when the day dawned, he turned into a cat again, and his face was full of blood except for wounds, where could he see what it looked like thoroughly?

Not only that, at that time, she could feel the desire for life that came out of the boy's body, an extremely strong desire, but the current King of Qi was willing to use his life to exchange his strength for infinite strength, the boy at that time gave himself the feeling of being clean and pure, but the King of Qi at this time was always cold, even gloomy.

The whole body is almost written with the four big characters "The living do not enter".

For some reason, Shen Qiutan suddenly felt a strong and indescribable sadness in his heart.

It seems that there is a small part of her heart and some ...... Shake?

She couldn't tell me how I felt, I couldn't describe it.

It turned out that because of the wolf pack with the young man, the young man left a jade pendant and broken silver for Shen Qiutan to help her successfully reach the capital, Shen Qiutan has always had a strong kindness to him in her heart, in her heart, the young man is not very old, but she thinks that he is a reliable and good person, that is the only bit of warmth in the crisis she encountered as soon as she crossed.

It's just that Shen Qiutan doesn't quite understand the reason in his heart, so he can only feel sad and sad.

Because the reliable young man in his heart is gone, and he is replaced by this complicated King Qi that she can't see through.
