Chapter 171: Labyrinth

"Miss, a total of one hundred and thirteen flowers have been collected, of which thirty-seven are more than twenty years old. Han Yu walked into Yi Xinzhu's ear and said, both of them looked at the four guards who were carefully loading these Yin Yuan mushrooms into special containers at the same time, this time the harvest was very rich and Yi Xinzhu was very excited, she was about to speak, but she heard Han Yu add in a whisper in a voice that only two people could hear: "There is no trace of being picked." ”

Yi Xinzhu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then immediately understood the intention of her female bodyguard Han Yu to say this, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at Liang Hu, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating on the opposite side of the waterhole. These Yin Yuan mushrooms are very important things for Yi Xinzhu and the family behind her, as long as the old man is still there, no one dares to shake the Yi family, and no one dares to jump out to marry Yi Xinzhu.

That's why Yi Xinzhu wants to personally lead a team here to find it, which is related to her lifelong happiness and family development, and she can't help but pay attention to it. Liang Hu's behavior of keeping his promise made Yi Xinzhu full of gratitude to him, but Yi Xinzhu did not run over to say something unnutritious in person, and the philistine's words and hypocritical behavior would only destroy the tacit understanding in the hearts of the two people, and make the harmonious relationship between the two parties appear indescribable cracks.

Yi Xinzhu and Han Yu walked to Qu Yao's side, reported the harvest, and asked each other about how many finished products they could get. Qu Yao was also overjoyed when he heard the number of jΓΉ, he pondered for a moment and replied: "After these Yinyuan mushrooms are crushed and then mixed with thousand-year-old ginseng and other auxiliary materials, at least 2,000 copies of the pill can be refined, and the old man takes one a month, and there is great hope for prolonging his life!"

This year is the ninetieth birthday of the old man of the Yi family, and when people reach this age, no matter how much they take care of it, they will be helpless to age, not to mention that the old man has been fighting all his life, I don't know how much pain he has suffered, and there is even shrapnel on his body that has not been removed, so the longevity of life that Qu Yao said is already an unimaginable luxury for the Yi family. With the work of these ten years, Yi Xinchu's father and brothers can go to the next level in the political arena and the military, turning the already faintly crumbling Yi family into an impregnable mountain.

As for the 2,000 pills reported by Qu Yao, of course, they will not really mix all the Yin Yuan mushrooms, and the ones that are given to the old man must be the ones with the highest grade carefully selected here, leaving 200 pills is enough. Considering that the other members of the Yi family are also getting older, it is estimated that they will have to leave three or five hundred pills for him to use in the future, and then remove one-tenth of the amount given to Qu Yao as a thank you, then Yi Xinzhu still has at least 1,000 configured pills in his hand, which is an unimaginable wealth.

The Yi family's status today is a hurdle that cannot be avoided in the officialdom, and no matter how rich the Yi family is, can they take out one billion and 800 million yuan at a time and smash it over? I am afraid that the next day the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will come to the door to invite tea. Besides, the real big things can't be settled with money. If you take out a bottle of pills that can prolong your life during the New Year's holidays, and then hint a little bit in words, I am afraid that there are really not many people who can resist its temptation, this gift is impossible for others to change their principles, but it can greatly make a good relationship with the centrists, this is the true meaning of politics.

After cleaning up the entire cave, Yi Xinzhu walked to Liang Hu's side and said, "This cave has found a total of more than 100 Yin Yuan mushrooms, which are enough for the little sister to use, and no matter what happens next, it will naturally belong to Brother Liang." I see that there is a small stream flowing over there, which flows into the waterhole here, Liang Hu, the golden spiritual object you are looking for should be in this direction, right?

How could Liang Hu let Yi Xinzhu accompany him on an adventure, on the one hand, she could still have some help on her side, that is, Liu Yiyi, and the rest of the guards might not be able to help much in the face of various unknown dangers, on the other hand, Liang Hu deduced that there might be a more advanced Yin Yuan mushroom near the gold spirit object, maybe there was something else waiting for him, and bringing one more person over would be equivalent to one more possibility of leaking, so Liang Hu refused without hesitation and said: "No." Please Hsinchu you help me take care of the two of them, I am very comfortable in advance and retreat alone."

"No!" Before Yi Xinzhu could speak, Ling Bingxue directly objected: "Brother, either we will go back now, or you must take me!" After finishing speaking, Ling Bingxue looked at Liang Hu with expectant and resolute eyes, and then she added in a low voice: "Brother, don't forget the original intention you brought me here, I don't want to be a flower in the greenhouse." ”

Liang Hu was moved by Ling Bingxue's words behind, he nodded and agreed, Yi Xinzhu was taken aback when she heard this, how did she know that Ling Bingxue looked still young, but in fact she was already a monk in the early stage of qi refining, just because the natal method she practiced was definitely good at healing recovery, and she did not highlight her own existence when she had Liang Hu who did not avoid knives and guns, Yi Xinzhu couldn't imagine what it would be like for Liang Hu to take such a powerless girl to take on an adventure, she instinctively opened her mouth and wanted to dissuade her, but was interrupted by Liang Hu first.

Liang Hu understood Yi Xinzhu's thoughts, and explained to her: "Hsinchu, don't hide it, Xiaoxue is not my cousin, she is actually my personal disciple, but my own skills are shallow, and she has been with me for a short time, so she hasn't learned anything." This time, I came out with Xiaoxue, with the intention of training, and taught her by word and deed. ”

Liang Hu's last idiom highly summarizes the meaning he wants to express but does not say, Yi Xinzhu is also Bing Xue smart, and he understands everything in his ears as soon as he hears it. Since ancient times, the Celestial Empire has a tradition of oral transmission and not falling into words, when the teacher is teaching his disciples all kinds of secret techniques, if an outsider dares to eavesdrop on the side, he will definitely chase and kill him for thousands of miles, although Yi Xinzhu is close to Liang Hu, but he is not willing to commit such a taboo, she said a few words of advice to Liang Hu and Ling Bingxue to pay attention to safety and then no longer obstruct.

Qin Ruoyun, who was standing on the side, sighed slightly in her heart, she had long known that Ling Bingxue was not Liang Hu's cousin, and now that he had confirmed this in person, many doubts in her heart suddenly became clear, her own disciple was going to inherit the mantle of the master, so it was no wonder that Liang Hu was a little closer to Ling Bingxue than to his cousin, and he didn't even shy away from his girlfriend Yao Xueqing, keeping Ling Bingxue at home and getting along day and night. Qin Ruoyun had already seen that Ling Bingxue's love for Liang Hu was deep-rooted, and the only thing she was glad about now was that Ling Bingxue was still young, and her cousin Yao Xueqing had the opportunity to become Liang Hu's girlfriend, so that a series of things such as thousands of miles of rescue would happen.

The most important reason why Qin Ruoyun was able to recruit Liang Hu into the National Security Bureau was that Liang Hu's girlfriend was her cousin. If Yao Xueqing had a conflict with Liang Hu because of her straightforward temper - something like this had already happened on the roof of the hospital - Qin Ruoyun would sooner or later lose Liang Hu, an assistant with unlimited potential, and if it were herself, it would be difficult for her to be indifferent to her lover's loved ones every day after a painful breakup.

For this reason, Qin Ruoyun did not hesitate to put down her position to serve as Liang Hu's liaison in person, and she hoped that she could work hard to strengthen her influence on Liang Hu, instead of labeling her girlfriend, sister or National Security Bureau colleagues as dispensable. Now it seems that Qin Ruoyun's hard work on Liang Hu has not been in vain, but it is still far from being able to go one step further to achieve the "sharing secrets" Cheng DΓΉ, although Liang Hu does not shy away from Qin Ruoyun in everything, but he never reveals the true secret in front of her, such as the process of making various talismans, such as Ling Bingxue, a personal disciple.

Ling Bingxue's identity Liang Hu did not sue himself, but took the initiative to sue Yi Xinzhu, this result inevitably made Qin Ruoyun a little disappointed, obviously in Liang Hu's mind, his status was far inferior to Yi Xinzhu. However, Qin Ruoyun did not show this mood on his face, but walked to Ling Bingxue's side casually, stuffed his self-defense pistol into the latter's hand, and whispered in Ling Bingxue's ear: "Pay attention to safety, I'm waiting for you to come back here." ”

After preparing to stop, Liang Hu and Ling Bingxue began to swim upstream along the stream, which flowed out of a cave, which was relatively low and narrow, and Liang Hu had to bend down and move forward in the water. Previously, when several guards of Yi Xinzhu were exploring the cave where the waterhole was located, they had already discovered the existence of the cave, but they did not enter the expedition for safety reasons, after all, the most important thing for them was to obtain the Yin Yuan mushroom and return safely, if they rashly broke into the unknown cave and provoked something terrible, it would be troublesome.

Liang Hu and Ling Bingxue walked hand in hand in the icy stream, which was the best way to prevent dispersion in the dark. They had only walked less than twenty meters, and the light from the flashlight shone on the entrances of the multiple passages in front of them, Liang Hu pulled out his dagger and carved a few strokes at the beginning of the cool charm on the rightmost one, leaving a mark with this method that was almost unknown to outsiders, and then he pulled Ling Bingxue into the rightmost passage without hesitation.

Liang Hu walked over and squatted down to examine it carefully, and found that it had just exceeded the threshold of twenty-four years, this evidence was enough to prove Liang Hu's inference that the golden aura in the waterhole outside was brought out from the stream flowing in the cave.

The Yin Yuan Mushroom, which was more than two years old, was naturally stronger than those outside, but it was still not in Liang Hu's eyes, he smiled and refused Ling Bingxue's suggestion that the Yin Yuan Mushroom was taken away, stood up and continued along the passage. He didn't go far, and several passages and entrances were placed in front of Liang Hu, and this cave with flowing streams led in all directions, and there were branch roads everywhere.
