Chapter 07: Getting Medicine

The courtyard of that small mansion was dark and unusually quiet.

Nie Kong lurked in a dark shadow under the eaves, like a lifeless sculpture. On the way here, he finished changing his costume and stimulated the acupuncture points on his face with gold needles, turning back to the ugly appearance of his crooked mouth and nose before. This is also done to avoid being accidentally discovered and revealing your identity.

The place he has chosen now is the upwind direction.

After waiting for a long time, Nie Kong felt that the wind had become stronger, so he quietly took out the "Divine Incense", and the scorching wood spiritual power seeped into it like wisps. At this time, Nie Kong didn't dare to make too much movement, if he alarmed the two people inside, it would be all in vain.

Gradually, a faint smoke came out of the "Misty Incense". Nie Kong had already closed his breath and probed the "Divine Incense" into the small hole in the window paper......

......

In the room, Cheng Zixuan and Cheng Zirong sat opposite each other against the wall.

In the midst of them lay two baskets, one filled with all kinds of food, the other tightly covered with a black cloth.

The four princes closed their eyes and looked calm, but there was no moment of peace in their hearts. Ever since he had left the royal courtyard through the tunnel in the morning and quietly arrived at this small mansion, he had been haunted by a disturbed emotion, as if something was going to happen.

Originally, when Cheng Feiliu asked him to take away the "Fire Tree Silver Flower", he was surprised and delighted.

He also understood that if it weren't for the two imperial uncles who had to stay there to attract the attention of others, none of them could leave, and at that time, there were no other direct members of the royal family in that village except for him and his fifth brother, so such an important task could not be entrusted to him.

After walking out of the tunnel, Cheng Zixuan put the burden on his shoulders again, and only then did he feel how heavy it was. For a while, Cheng Zixuan felt that he had suddenly become mature, and when he thought back to the "gentleness and humility" he pretended to be before, and the arrogance in the medicine club competition, he was so naïve.

Responsibility and pressure can make people grow up!

Cheng Zixuan was like an initiation, and suddenly understood why the emperor's grandfather often put this sentence on his lips, and also realized why he was talented, but in the eyes of the emperor's grandfather, he was never as valued as the eldest brother and the second brother. Although he was humble and gentle in the past, he was frivolous and manic in his bones, and he was always smug about it, but I am afraid that this point has long been seen through by the emperor's grandfather.

Therefore, Cheng Zixuan made up his mind that he could not disappoint the Emperor Uncle Ancestor no matter what, he knew that the value of the "Fire Tree Silver Flower" to the royal family was by no means a billion gold coins that could be measured. One billion gold coins are gone, and they can still be earned, but the "Fire Tree Silver Flower" is lost, and there is no hope of getting it.

Perhaps it is this kind of emotion of gaining and losing that makes it difficult for me to really calm down. Cheng Zixuan looked at the basket and smiled bitterly.

"Fourth brother, what kind of smell is this, it's so fragrant, is it a nearby family cooking?"

The fifth prince suddenly opened his eyes, and after muttering in a low voice, he couldn't help but sniff vigorously and swallow his saliva. Today he ate some hard and cold cooked food, and his heart was already depressed, and as soon as he smelled this smell, the gluttonous worm was immediately seduced out.

Cheng Zixuan also sniffed, this smell is indeed very good, at first it was somewhat similar to the musk he usually used, but after a few more smells, it was a bit like the smell of roast chicken. Seeing Cheng Zirong squinting his eyes on the other side, looking intoxicated, Cheng Zixuan smiled lightly.

"That's not right!"

After a while, Cheng Zixuan's face changed suddenly, he had carefully observed the surrounding environment before entering this mansion, and the nearest residences were obviously uninhabited for a long time, where did the fragrance of the food come from? As soon as this thought came out, Cheng Zirong on the opposite side slowly fell to the ground.

"Five ......"

The word "brother" in the back has not yet come out, and the four princes have also fallen headlong, their eyes involuntarily closed, and their consciousness is in a trance.

After a minute or two, Nie Kong's figure flashed in. The room was reflected in the snow light outside the window, the five princes were on their backs, their mouths were still chattering, and the four princes were falling to the ground, their right arms poking out, maintaining the posture of grasping the basket.

Nie Kong glanced at it, his eyes fell on the basket covered by black cloth, and then he slowed his steps to the extreme and walked over slowly.

Before coming, Nie Kong had casually found a family with a spirit gatherer to test this "magic incense", and if the movement was too loud, it would immediately wake up the trance-stricken recruiter. Therefore, Nie Kong did not dare to get carried away at all now, so as not to be happy and sad.

Gently lifting the black cloth, a jade box more than half a meter long leaned against the basket, Nie Kong knew that this should be the "Absolute Spirit Jade".

"Ahh......h Yes...... Yike...... Oh...... Yikes......"

The little guy sang excitedly, and his voice was subdued, tactful and sweet. But even Nie Kong, as its owner, didn't know what this little guy was singing, and secretly shook his head and smiled, this little guy could even sense the herbs isolated by the "Absolute Spirit Jade", and if it reached the sixth order and could move freely from his body, this little guy wouldn't steal whoever he wanted.

In his thoughts, Nie Kong stretched out his hand and carefully opened the jade box that was closed without the slightest gap. With a soft click, the square wall on the front of the jade box was opened, and the delicate and magnificent red light burst out, flickering brightly, making Nie Kong dazzled for a moment!

"Fire Tree Silverflower!"

Sure enough, it was the "Fire Tree Silver Flower"! Nie Kongqiang suppressed the excitement in his chest, closed the jade box, and completely focused his mind on the jade box. After a few seconds, there was no movement in the jade box, and there were no more items in the pet backpack, Nie Kong frowned suspiciously.

Is it because of the "Absolute Spirit Jade"?

The pet backpack has been fused with itself, and it must have been contaminated with its own spiritual power, and it will be in conflict with the jade box made by the "Absolute Spirit Jade"? Nie Kong didn't have time to think about it, and opened a small gap in the jade box, and then focused his mind on the "Fire Tree Silver Flower".

After only a short moment's effort, the jade box became empty, and Nie Kong's pet backpack had the red "Fire Tree Silver Flower".

"Ahh......h Yikes......"

The little guy sang even more happily, the roots and stems and leaves twisted and twisted, and at the same time, a thick green color leaked out from the Yaochi cave.

Nie Kong didn't bother to pay attention to the little guy's movements for the time being, gently closed the door, and retreated lightly to the outside of the room. Nie Kong didn't expect that this operation would be so smooth, and he easily got his hands on the "Fire Tree Silver Flower", one of the five miraculous medicines. Although he wanted to grow wings and fly home to have a good look, he could only endure his surname and try his best to reduce the movement.

"Stop!"

A faint snort suddenly came from behind Nie Kong......
