Chapter 23: The Bloodline of the God of War
Where didn't Ji Beichen know Zhao Bai'er's duplicity, the two had different positions, and they couldn't talk about right or wrong, so what did it matter if they opened their mouths to apologize first: "It's my fault for breaking Brother Zhao's sword, and I will compensate you another day." ”
He felt that the two didn't know each other, so he wanted to help Zhao Baier cast another natal sword, and it didn't hurt to use it as a greeting gift.
"I'm not so stingy, just promise you......" Hearing Ji Beichen's words, Zhao Baier was even more ashamed, if he loses, he loses, how can he lose in a fight with someone, shouting for people to pay for weapons.
In order to make the two of them feel at ease to force poison for Mu Qing, Baishi asked Zhao Ling'er to prepare a medicinal bath for the two of them, and they could resist the invasion of foreign poison after soaking in the medicinal bath.
Xue San thought that it was convenient for him to take care of the three of them, so he also placed the bath tub for the two of them in Mu Qing's wing, and the room was a little crowded for a while.
The medicinal bath needed to be soaked for one night, so Xue San beckoned the housekeeper to take others to the front yard to eat and rest, and called Xue's mother to bring the prepared meal.
Xue San knew that Ji Beichen had been busy for a day and had not eaten three meals, so he specially asked Xue's mother to make some light and easy-to-digest food.
"It's all home-cooked taste, Ji Gongzi tastes it. Although it is not as good as Chen Ji Restaurant, the taste is still good, and the son loves to eat it! Mother Xue was smiling, obviously happy that Mu Qing could be healed.
After Xue's mother finished speaking, she quietly retreated, Ji Beichen felt that it was better to soak in a medicinal bath first, so he went to the back of the screen and took off his clothes and put it into the bathtub, and Zhao Baier did it without saying much.
Xue San did not refuse the kindness of the two, he and his subordinates first put Mu Qing into the bath bucket, and then brought food and stood beside Ji Beichen, ready to feed him.
"Brother Xue is polite, I'll just come by myself." Ji Beichen took the chopsticks in Xue San's hand and thanked him.
"I'm hungry too...... Zhao Bai'er muttered, he went back to the barracks at noon, although he had food, he was busy explaining the affairs of the army, and he didn't run out of water and rice for half a day.
"General Zhao's share is not good, I'll go to the backyard to urge!" Xue Sanyan turned around and went out, trotting all the way to the backyard dining room.
"Ahem......" As soon as Xue San went out, Mu Qing began to cough.
The violent cough made her body shake, which made Mu Qing's body gradually tilt and slowly sink into the water. Zhao Bai'er was shocked, and hurriedly called the people outside the door loudly.
The bathtubs of the three of them were close together, and they could get each other together, Ji Beichen was anxious for a while, so he stood up directly and went to help Mu Qing beside him.
All three were shirtless at this time, and only close-fitting trousers were wearing their lower bodies. When Ji Beichen stood up, Zhao Bai'er saw at a glance that there was a unique plum blossom birthmark on his waist.
"This ...... How can it be! Zhao Baier was stunned for a moment when she saw the birthmark, thinking that she was dazzled by hot water.
The plum blossom birthmark is exactly the same as the one on his waist, and this special plum blossom-shaped birthmark is unique to the men of the Zhao family, and only the direct bloodline of the Zhao family will be passed down, and the collateral lines cannot be obtained, how can he be a person with a foreign surname......
He remembered that his uncle had said that the blood of the Zhao family was special, they had the blood of the ancient god of war in their bodies, and there was only one god of war in each generation, which meant that only one of the men in the generation of the Zhao family would inherit the blood of the god of war.
Now the Zhao family's bloodline has withered, and the direct bloodline has only been passed down to their family. In the previous generation of his family, it was his uncle who inherited the birthmark, and he was the one in his generation who inherited the blood of the god of war, could it be that this kid has a different relationship with the Zhao family?
Zhao Bai'er's mind was chaotic at this time, there were only three direct members of the Zhao family in the previous generation, and his father only had one son. His uncle never married, and regarded him as his own, and had no offspring. And his aunt only has his missing nephew, is it......
Zhao Baier couldn't hold back her excitement, and stood up directly from the bathtub, wanting to see Ji Beichen's birthmark more clearly, but she didn't want to be negligent for a moment, and her foot slipped and fell into the bucket on her back.
"General Zhao, you ...... You okay? When Zhao Bai'er was fluttering in the bathtub, Xue San happened to come back with food. When he saw Zhao Bai'er fall into the water, he thought that he was faint from hunger, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
Zhao Baier also wanted to see Ji Beichen's birthmark again, but when she looked up, she saw that the person had already sat back in the bathtub and missed the opportunity to check the birthmark.
Ji Beichen just sat down and planned to continue eating, reaching out to pick up the bowl, just in time to meet Zhao Bai'er's fiery gaze, which made him a little puzzled.
Even if they are all men, they are so close and naked to each other, and it is inevitable to be stared at for a long time.
"Ahem......" Ji Beichen coughed lightly in order to relieve this strange atmosphere.
Zhao Baier realized that she had lost her temper and hurriedly lowered her head to eat. I thought in my heart that it was important to detoxify Mu Qing first, and I must go with my father to find Ji Beichen to confirm the matter afterwards.
Nothing was said all night.
In the early morning of the second day, Shiraishi ordered Xue San to remove the medicine barrels of the three of them, and the three of them changed into clean underwear. Bai Shi fed Ji Beichen and Zhao Bai'er one of them, and he took the antidote pill yesterday.
Baishi wanted to do acupuncture for Mu Qing first, and Xue San took the two of them to wait in the wing room next door.
This wing room is next to Mu Qing's room, Ji Beichen thought that it would be very dirty if no one lived in it for many years, but when he pushed the door in, it was very clean, and even the bedding was new.
The walls were full of wooden swords, and there were some boys' toys, apparently for children.
"This room is a bit ......" As soon as Zhao Bai'er came in, his usually bright eyes suddenly darkened.
He knew this place because there was a similar room in the house, which his father had prepared for the children of Mu Ci's sister's family......
"The wing room here is relatively close to Childe's room, and the two of you can rest here for a while." Xue San didn't say much, his face sank, and he withdrew as soon as he gave up.
He didn't know these past events, he only knew that in the past twelve years, other rooms could not be cleaned, but Gongzi specially instructed Xue's mother that this room must be cleaned every day.
Xue San felt that the wing room where Gongzi lived was too small, and proposed to let Gongzi change to a larger room. But Childe has always refused, he must live here. He always saw Childe staring at the opposite door in a daze, although he didn't know why, he vaguely felt that Childe was waiting for someone to return home.
Hearing Zhao Bai'er say that, Xue San's face was also on the side, and Ji Beichen looked around.
I saw that there were wooden swords hanging all over the walls in the house, there were handicrafts sold in the market, and there were also handmade swords that were not oiled, and some of the swords were a little rough in workmanship, which should have been made by the boy himself, Ji Beichen guessed that the boy must have liked swords very much.
He walked over to the bookcase again and carefully examined the Mobao on the desk. On the bookcase is an unfinished notebook with two types of handwriting.
Mu Qing's handwriting Ji Beichen had seen, and the rows of crooked words next to him, Ji Beichen guessed that it should be the owner of the room, and the boy copied Mu Qing's words.
Ji Beichen looked at the immature handwriting, and suddenly remembered the scene when the master forced him to practice calligraphy, and couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Bai'er saw that Ji Beichen rarely showed a smiling face, and also ran over to join in the fun. When he saw the handwriting on the table, memories came to his heart, and he said casually: "Isn't this the little nephew's handwriting?" Burst...... I was laughed at by me for being ugly that day, but I really got interested, and I ran to Brother Mu to practice calligraphy......"
He turned his head sideways to look at Ji Beichen, and he didn't know if the young man in front of him still remembered this? Where has he been in the past 12 years?
Ji Beichen glanced at Zhao Bai'er, who was sneering at the boy's handwriting, and felt that Zhao Bai'er was a bit of an eyesore.
The crooked handwriting was clearly written by a young child, and he couldn't understand why a hard-working child could be ridiculed.
Zhao Bai'er saw that Ji Beichen's face suddenly changed, and he smiled, not daring to make another attempt.
The two of them stayed in the house for a short time before they were called back by Shiraishi. On the sandalwood bed, Mu Qing was lying there in a coma, with more than a hundred and ten needles pierced all over her body, which made people feel distressed to watch.
"The poison of the five internal organs has been brought out, so I rely on the two of you to urge the true qi to pull it out!" Bai Shi stood in front of the bed and carefully covered Mu Qing with a thin quilt.
"The toxin is now attached to the flesh and skin, and I have sealed all the big points of Mu Qing with silver needles to prevent the toxin from spreading back into the meridians again. The two of you inject the true qi into his body, use the true qi to support the toxin and walk through his spine, and finally expel the toxin from the head......"
Bai Shiyan took a deep breath, it was also helpless to use this method to force poison, if it succeeded, there would be no toxin left in Mu Qing's body, if not......
Ji Beichen has no experience in pulling out poison from true qi, and Zhao Baier has been walking in the barracks since he was a child, but he is familiar with the matter of pulling out poison from true qi.
The two of them immediately decided that Zhao Bai'er would approach Mu Qing's body and urge the true qi in his body. Ji Beichen was responsible for assisting behind Zhao Bai'er, and after the two agreed, they were ready to start.
Bai Shi was still a little worried, he felt that this poison would not be so simple, and he was afraid that there would be changes when he pulled out the poison, so he told Zhao Bai'er: "Bai'er must not rush in, this poison is unpredictable, I don't know what changes will occur when I encounter your true qi, be careful!" ”
"Grandpa Shi, rest assured, we will succeed in pulling out the poison!" Zhao Baier is confident in his skills, and with many such experiences, he feels that he will succeed this time.
Bai Shi and Zhao Ling'er were afraid of an emergency, so they stood by the side, and in order to prevent the danger of poison scattering, the two also took antidote pills.
Zhao Bai'er raised his right hand, put his palm against Mu Qing's chest, concentrated his energy, and began to inject true qi into his body.
At first, it was relatively smooth, and there was no change in the toxin encountering the true qi. I saw that the purple-red toxin in Mu Qing's body was supported by the true qi injected by Zhao Bai'er, and it went down the spine to the top of his head, and the top of Mu Qing's head instantly emitted a slow purple mist.
"It's out, it's out!" Zhao Ling'er, who was standing on the side, cheered softly excitedly.
Baishi motioned to Ji Beichen to collect the poisonous gas, and Ji Beichen hurriedly raised his right hand to output the true qi, condensing the poisonous gas, and the poisonous gas slowly condensed into a ball in Ji Beichen's right hand.
All of a sudden, the real qi in the house surged.
Although Zhao Ling'er was not a cultivator, she could also feel the true qi swimming back and forth on her cheeks, and she did not feel uncomfortable at all, but felt very comfortable. At the moment, I thought to myself, using this true qi to force poison, Mu Qing should not have too much pain, and felt that Grandpa Shi's trick was really wonderful!
After most of the day, Zhao Ling'er did not feel that the poisonous gas in Mu Qing's body had dissipated, but gathered more and more, so he shouted in confusion: "Grandpa Shi, how much poisonous gas is in Brother Mu's body, why can't it be dissipated?" ”
Shiraishi shouted, "Not good! ”
