Chapter 79: Night Sneaking Qiang Witch Imperial City
Following.
The few people in the costumes of Wudi and the gold rim came to the post station early in the morning, with the same polite smile, and said, "I'm really sorry to keep the three of you waiting, our master is already waiting for you, let's go."
Jiang Yingnian urged: "Let's go, let's go, it's really not easy, do you know how long we've been waiting?"
The leader smiled, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Yingnian said, "Where should we go?"
The smile on the leader's face didn't move at all, and he said something similar to yesterday: "You'll find out later."
Jiang Yingnian: "......"
The uniformed men took the three of them to a mountain villa on the outskirts of the main city.
The villa is very well hidden, and it takes a while to enter from the gate, showing a small lake in front of them, and they take a small boat to row to the lake pavilion, only to see Ah Shui, who has been affecting their hearts!
Guan Jiyu said, "It's really Ah Shui! Finally this time she didn't lie to us."
Jiang Yingnian stood up from the boat and said, "If I don't get the antidote this time, I won't let her go so easily."
One by one, they stepped down from the boat, and the men who led the way withdrew.
At this moment, Ah Shui was sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, her lush tan hair was combed into thin braids, and she had changed into a turquoise gauze dress, and the pendants on her eyebrows, earrings on her ears and necklaces around her neck were all inlaid with turquoise stones.
Without waiting for them to question, Ah Shui took the lead in explaining the specific reason why she didn't say goodbye last night: "It's wrong for me to leave without saying hello, but there are indeed very important things in my family that must be handled by me personally, so in a hurry, I can only leave first."
Even though Guan Jiyu was unhappy in his heart, he still had a good attitude and said, "Yesterday's incident has passed, it doesn't matter, Ah Shui girl, can we get the antidote today?"
Ah Shui said, "Sit down, sit down and say."
The three of them listened to her sit down one by one, only to see Ah Shui let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't take the cold matter to heart."
Han Xu listened to her words and was expressionless, but Jiang Yingnian raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what?"
Ah Shui said: "He has indeed been hit by a very complicated poison, I originally thought that when I got home, I would look for it at home, and I would definitely be able to find the antidote. After all, there is no shortage of these medicinal herbs in the entire south."
Guan Jiyu hurriedly asked, "So what? Did you find it?"
Ah Shui sighed again and said, "I really tried my best to find it, and I also helped you ask others, but it still didn't work. If you want to refine the antidote to the poison, there is still a crucial medicinal herb missing, and it is the "Red Flame Basket." She cupped her cheeks, looked into the distance, and said, "Unfortunately, this thing is extremely difficult to find, it grows in extremely steep and cramped valleys, and now there are basically no more in the kingdom of Ques."
As soon as Ah Shui's voice fell, Han Xu said leisurely: "So you mean, there is no hope now, my life is almost gone, right?"
Ah Shui hurriedly waved his hand and said to Han Xu, "Don't be so pessimistic! Am I trying to figure it out for you?"
Jiang Yingnian said, "What else can be done? Even if I intend to look for it in the valley you mentioned now, but there is no such variety anymore, what else can we do?!"
Ah Shui hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Actually, it's not that there is no way." She whispered, "I know I have it alone."
"Who?!"
The three of them spoke almost in unison.
Ah Shui glanced at them and said, "The national teacher of the Qiang Wu Kingdom next door."
Guan Jiyu's heart fell heavily again, and he said weakly: "We are originally coming to the south for the first time, and we are not familiar with the people here, how can we know the national teacher of the Qiang Wu Kingdom? Not to mention begging him for something!"
Ah Shui pursed his mouth and said, "Why can't it, what's wrong with him being a national teacher?" The national teacher is also a human being, and if he has any mercy, he will definitely give it to you."
Guan Jiyu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that there are many people in this world who have no compassion, and they are not related to each other, why should others help us? It makes sense to reject us."
Ah Shui said: "Anyway, if you want to save Han Xu, the only way at the moment is to find the national teacher of the Qiang Wu Kingdom." She seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh yes! I almost forgot that he is also from your Xuli, and if you go to him, maybe he will remember that you are fellow countrymen, and promise to give you the Red Flame Basket."
Han Xu was puzzled, "You said he was from Xuli? The national teacher of the Qiang Wu Kingdom, how can he be a Xuli person?"
Ah Shui snorted and said, "Who knows, maybe the queen of the Qiang Wu Kingdom gave him too much, if the treatment is good, no matter what country he is, he can still keep it."
Ah Shui suddenly became irritable, and said impatiently: "Oh, I've explained so much to you, why don't you go quickly?" If you don't go again, don't blame me when the time comes, anyway, I've already shown you the way, it's up to you whether you go or not!"
As she spoke, she threw a piece of paper on the table and said, "This is the closest way to the Qiangwu Kingdom, I have already drawn it for you, and I have already asked people to prepare the carriage for you, so hurry up!"
Jiang Yingnian picked up the map with interest and said, "Then thank you Ah Shui girl, let's set off and go to the Qiangwu Kingdom."
When the three of them came out of the villa, they saw a carriage already waiting, and they showed the coachman the map, and went on the road full of hope.
The Kingdom of Quis and the Kingdom of Qiang Wu are both small countries, and the distance between the main cities of the two countries is very close, and it only took them half a day to reach the main city of the Kingdom of Qiang and Wu.
The coachman was only responsible for dropping them off at the place and left.
The three of them stood in place, staring at each other at a loss.
Guan Jiyu said, "If you want to find a national teacher, should you go to the palace of the Qiangwu Kingdom and ask?"
Jiang Yingnian said, "You are stupid, you still go to the palace to ask? What do you think is the palace where their royal family lives? Can you just go in as you speak, and ask as you ask?"
Guan Jiyu ran out of ideas and said, "What should I do then?"
"Wait." Jiang Yingnian said, "Let's wait until it's dark, then climb over the wall and enter their palace, and then find the place where their national teacher is."
The three of them found an inn nearby, arranged for Han Xu to rest first, and Jiang Yingnian discussed with Guan Jiyu how to sneak into the palace of Qiang Wuguo at night.
Guan Jiyu looked at his red tassel spear and said, "This shouldn't be able to be taken, and your Moon Han Bow, the target is too obvious to move."
"Yes." Jiang Yingnian said, "Let's be careful, just avoid the soldiers they guard."
Jiang Yingnian looked at Han Xu who had just fallen asleep, in the past few days, Han Xu's state has been getting worse and worse day by day, although his face is not very obvious, but Jiang Yingnian can feel that Han Xu is being eroded and destroyed by this poison from the inside out.
When night finally fell, Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian found two night clothes to change into and went out.
They stepped on it beforehand, and went around the wall behind the palace, which was the only lower wall, and there were no people around, so it was the best place to sneak in.
Guan Jiyu flew up, and landed firmly on the wall, she squatted down, and said to Jiang Yingnian, "Come up!"
The two of them climbed over the wall smoothly and walked slowly inside. The imperial city of the Qiangwu Kingdom is very small, and the palace inside is not as grand and solemn as the Xuli Imperial Palace. But its appearance is full of agate glazed tiles, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is gold bricks and jade soil, and the whole golden and brilliant decoration makes people feel its exquisite luxury.
Jiang Yingnian whispered: "No wonder that national teacher wants to stay in the Qiangwu Kingdom, it looks like it is very rich here, staying in the imperial city of such a small country, and having a good errand is really a good thing."
"Don't speak." Guan Jiyu lowered his voice and said, "Let's find out which room the national teacher is in first!"
The palace of the Qiang Wu Kingdom is mainly divided into two main halls and six small halls.
Judging from the status of the national teacher, no matter how much he is appreciated by the queen of the Qiangwu Kingdom, he is only
is a courtier, and he will definitely not be able to live in the two best palaces, so Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian decided to start from the small hall.
Because the Qiangwu Kingdom is the same as the Quith Kingdom, the people in these two countries are both deep and delicate in appearance, so it is not very difficult to find a national teacher.
You don't need to ask if it's a national teacher, you can know just from your appearance.
Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian acted separately, each of them inspected the three small halls, but after watching for a while, after the two people converged, they both shook their heads and said, "Neither!"
There are only the two main halls in the middle.
Jiang Yingnian said, "Good guy, this national teacher can be mixed up, can he be on an equal footing with Queen Qiangwu? Even the grade of living is so luxurious!"
The two of them locked a large hall, climbed to the window, carefully poked a hole in the window paper, and the scene inside the room came into view.
The people inside had their backs to them, they didn't know what they were writing, and they couldn't see anything from the back, Guan Jiyu prayed in his heart: Turn around quickly, turn around and see who you are!
Jiang Yingnian suddenly spoke up and said, "I guess you must be thinking in your heart now, let the people in the room quickly turn around, so that you can see if it is the national teacher, right?"
Guan Jiyu was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know?"
Jiang Yingnian suddenly laughed and said, "Alas, there is no way, who made me know you so well."
Seeing Guan Jiyu's face full of confusion, Jiang Yingnian couldn't help but say, "Do you still need to look at your face? You only need to judge whether the person in the room is a man or a woman based on the figure, the woman must be the Queen of Qiangwu, if it is a man, it is naturally the national teacher we are looking for."
Guan Jiyu really didn't expect this, she turned red when she was said, and said, "I know."
Jiang Yingnian shook his head and said, "With the head of your stupid goose, how could you possibly think of it?"
The two of them inadvertently spoke louder, and Guan Jiyu was about to refute when he heard someone behind him shouting, "Who is it?!"
The two of them turned around slowly, only to see two soldiers behind them holding spears at them, as if they were about to arrest the two little thieves.
Jiang Yingnian smiled awkwardly, raised his hand and said, "Two masters, you listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation!"
The two soldiers didn't want to hear what he said at all, they came over to arrest the two of them, and in a hurry, Jiang Yingnian didn't care, and shouted out, "National teacher, national teacher help!"
The people inside heard the movement and walked out of the room.
"Let them go."
The voice was warm and pleasant, Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian turned their heads in unison, and the person in front of them really gave birth to the face of a Xuli countryman.
Humble gentleman, gentle and gentle.
He wore his hair loose, like a night god descending from the sky in the night, and said to the two soldiers, "Stand down."
