Chapter 32: Ask the General for Help

Uncle Seven's move of cutting off his fingers made everyone dumbfounded.

Even Yun Que didn't expect such a situation.

That's a finger!

It's not a spiritual flower and a spiritual grass, what can be boiled out of medicine?

Uncle Seven's little finger, although drenched in blood, exudes a strange aroma of grass and trees, and the fault shows a three-colored color.

Mu Qingyao's expression changed slightly at this moment, and blurted out:

"Finger seal three talents!"

Inside that little finger, there is a three-talented flower!

At this point, Yun Que and Mu Qingyao finally understood why Uncle Seven hesitated for that hour back then, thus missing the opportunity to save his confidant.

Because the seventh uncle kept the treasures of heaven and earth in his fingers, and used this to impact the next realm, if it was cut off, it would be equivalent to burying the advanced path that he had worked so hard to accumulate.

But as a cultivator, who doesn't want to go one step further on the path of cultivation?

It's just human nature.

Uncle Seven's hesitation is actually correct.

Between advancing to a stronger realm and curing his confidant, he was caught in a dilemma.

Uncle Seven's confidant is not wrong.

She knew Uncle Seven, and she didn't want Uncle Seven to lose the opportunity to advance because of this, so she chose to poison her hair in advance and end her life.

This is the confidant.

The naked heart is exhausted as a confidant, and the gold does not hesitate to plant peaches and plums.

A sighing and emotional confidant feeling.

After the little apprentice took the severed finger, he hurried to boil the medicine.

After a short time, the decoction made of rat tail blood and severed fingers came out of the pot, and after the seventh uncle bandaged the wound briefly, he ordered someone to feed the dying girl medicine first.

When the decoction was entered, the girl's whole body immediately trembled, and a large area of black blood appeared on her scalp.

It was rat poison, and it was gradually oozing.

Soon the girl quieted down, her breathing gradually stabilized, and she finally escaped.

Seeing that the decoction was effective, the people in the hospital burst into cheers, rejoicing that the girl was alive and well, and that the poisoned family had ushered in real hope.

The seventh uncle instructed the little apprentice to use the decoction as the original puree, prepare a large amount of antidote, and distribute it to everyone.

Mu Qingyao's eyes became brighter and brighter at this moment, and she finally knew who the old man in front of her was.

"The spring flowers bloomed last year, and the seven needles were passed on to the Middle Earth! Ten Fingers Feng Ling, you are the last gentleman of the Rejuvenation Hall of the Heavenly Prayer Palace, Yang Qigu! ”

When Mu Qingyao said this name that had been sealed for many years, an invisible aura had already shrouded her and Yun Que, isolating the voice.

Obviously, the other party does not want outsiders to know their identity.

Uncle Seven slowly bowed his head and said:

"I can recognize the old man, the identity of the little girl is not ordinary, and I hope you will help the old man keep this secret, and the person who returns to the hermit will be quiet."

Mu Qingyao took the disciple salute, bowed down and said, "Student Mu Qingyao, obey the teacher's orders." ”

Yang Qigu nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to remove the sound barrier.

Mu Qingyao was a little surprised.

Yun Que also heard Yang Qigu's identity, why didn't the old gentleman explain anything to Yun Que.

It seemed that Yang Qigu didn't care that Yun Que would reveal his identity at all.

"It's time, it's time for us to go." After Yun Que finished speaking, he said goodbye to the seventh uncle.

The patients in the hospital hall have all drunk the antidote, and the fastest recovery has regained their divine intelligence and walked on their own.

The people were elated, but a dozen crazy people appeared in the courtyard.

Mu Qingyao hesitated for a moment and asked, "The medicine that Mr. concocted is enough for the people of the city to detoxify?" ”

"It should be about the same, if it's not enough, you can dilute the amount of medicine again, and the speed of detoxification is slower, it's just as effective." Yang Qi Ancient Road.

"We don't have enough people, and we need more people to help." Mu Qingyao said solemnly.

"It's hard to protect yourself, and you still have to help others?" Cloud lacks a way.

"This catastrophe in Hundred Jade City, in the final analysis, has something to do with me." Mu Qing Yao said.

"Rotten good people, don't live long." Yun Que pouted.

Mu Qingyao tilted her head slightly, held her little hands behind her back, and said with a smile: "You will help me this rotten good person, right?" ”

The innocent and cute appearance of the little county lord will be obsessed with anyone who sees it.

Yun Que frowned, gritted his teeth, and leaned close to the other party's ear and said, "Only this once, don't take it as an example!" If there is another such thing, I will knock you out and carry you to Tianqi City as a dead pig! ”

"It's a deal!" Mu Qingyao said softly in Yun Que's ear.

"What do you want to do." Yun Que regained his indifferent demeanor.

"Gather people, the big families in the city have nursing homes, they must not have been bitten, as long as these people are gathered, it is a force to save people." Mu Qing Yao said.

"At this time, those rich families will sweep the snow in front of their doors, who will care about the life and death of others, even if they can be convinced, such a small number of people are too few, at least more than 300,000 people in Baiyu City, it is estimated that half of them have been poisoned." Cloud lacks a way.

"I know that relying on the big families in the city will definitely not be enough to save people, I will first go to gather the officials in the official mansion, and then bring the officials in the city to the city guard mansion, let the defenders assist, in front of everyone, the city guard general will not dare to shirk, as long as the defenders in the city move, all the big families will naturally help." Mu Qing Yao said.

The life and death of ordinary people, those big families will not care, but when the officials and soldiers come to the door, they dare not disobey.

This is Mu Qingyao's overall plan.

"Turning defense into offense, turning darkness into light, this is a dangerous move, but it is also the best way."

Yun Xian nodded, and had to admire the courage of Mu Qingyao, the county lord of Lingyun.

"There's a piece of the puzzle here, though." Mu Qingyao frowned and said: "If the city guards don't show up, relying on other civilian officials in the city, they will definitely not be able to move the defenders." ”

"I'll fix it."

Yun Que sneered: "Doesn't that city guard like to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, if there is a fire in the backyard, I don't think he can sit still!" We split up and met at the castle guard. ”

After making a plan, Yun Que and Mu Qingyao prepared to leave the medical hall.

Before leaving, Yun Que took two taels of silver and said, "Uncle Seven, leave me a room." ”

Yang Qigu happily accepted the silver and said hello.

Staying in the quack hall is not to treat the disease, but a way back for Mu Qingyao left by Yun Que.

Once there is an uncontrollable situation, Mu Qingyao can only hide in the quack hall to have any hope of escaping.

Yang Qigu's act of accepting the silver made Yun Que feel a lot more at ease.

can become the gentleman of the Tianqi School Palace, this seventh uncle's background is definitely not small, although he has returned to the world, he does not ask about the world, at least he is willing to help protect one or two.

This is already a great favor.

Before leaving, Uncle Seven took out two somewhat old sachets, one embroidered with a dragon and one with an embroidered phoenix, implying that the dragon and phoenix were auspicious.

The seventh uncle gave the sachet to Yun Que and Mu Qingyao respectively.

"This is the poison repellent sachet that I developed with that confidant, it has the effect of avoiding all kinds of poisons, but unfortunately the years are too long, the effect is not as good as before, but it is still very easy to use to avoid mosquitoes, I give it to you, I hope you can know each other without regrets, and live up to this life."

Yun Que and Mu Qingyao took the sachet and thanked them.

Looking at the backs of the two young people walking out of the medical hall, Yang Qigu twisted his white beard and smiled, his eyes filled with deep nostalgia.

He seemed to see himself many years ago, and the confidante who had long since passed away.

……

After Yun Que sent Mu Qingyao to the nearest yamen, he began to wander around the city.

Gate Six always followed.

This guy is the key to getting out of the city, Yun Que was afraid that he would escape, so he took him with him.

After walking a few streets, when Menliu was tired enough, Yun Que stopped next to a well that had been dry for an unknown number of years.

Lying at the mouth of the well, Yun Que sniffed the smell carefully.

Menliu felt inexplicable, what was the smell of a dry well?

"Uncle, when are we going to leave the city?" Door six.

"Come on, find something first."

Yun Que had already been able to determine that the needle-haired rat with its severed tail was near the well, no more than a mile away.

As a hunter, hunting is a necessary skill, and finding prey is the best ability.

Demon hunters, too.

Yun lacks the ability to find demons, and almost no one believes it when he says it.

He can distinguish the breath left by the monster by his sense of smell alone, and then judge the direction and approximate distance of the monster from the strength of the breath.

The general of the city guard plans to be a turtle and will not come out of the door, so Yun Que is ready to give a big gift to the other party.

Find a long wooden rod nearby, take out the fishing line you carry with you, and soon make a simple fishing rod.

The bait is a blood fruit!

Yun Que stood at the mouth of the well, threw the fishing rod into the air, let the breath of the blood fruit spread around, and then took Menliu straight to the city guard's mansion.

Soon after,

In a hut not far from the dry well, a flaming red demon rat without a tail came out, chewing a bloody human head in its mouth.

The long nose of the needle-haired rat gasped desperately.

It smelled the aroma of the blood fruit, and the human head in its mouth suddenly stopped smelling, and it spit it out.

Following the scent of the spirit fruit, the needle-haired poisonous rat crawled quickly, like a red whirlwind in the dark night.

……

Castle Guard.

Negative Yi sat in the study with a sinking face.

On the ground were shattered teacups and teapots, and even his favorite inkstone had been smashed to pieces.

"Red Lotus Sect...... It's not shallow! ”

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he slapped his face and smashed the wooden table in front of him into two with a snap.

The grievances between the Red Lotus Sect and the Lord of Lingyun, he didn't want to meddle at all.

I thought that by sealing the city for three days in the name of suppressing bandits, I should repay the favor of the Red Lotus Sect.

Unexpectedly, there was chaos in the city, hundreds of people were infected with strange poisons, and corpses could be seen everywhere.

If it goes on like this, no matter whether the Red Lotus Sect can catch the Lingyun County Lord or not, he, the city guard general, will have to take the blame in the end.

The general of the city guard, the guard of the city!

The biggest responsibility of the company is to protect the Hundred Jade City and the people in the city.

The more people who died in the city, the greater the crime he was guilty of.

And this black cauldron can't be pushed out, so I can only carry it myself.

Negative Yi couldn't wait to strangle the leader of the Red Lotus Sect.

What is to watch on the wall, what is wise to protect one's self, and there is only one thought now.

I've already set myself on fire!

His current situation is even more embarrassing.

If he doesn't show up, there are dead people in the city all the time, and if the casualties are too heavy, he will not escape the blame, and I don't know how he will be dealt with by the imperial court.

If you come forward, you will be weak.

The chaos in the city is like this, it is difficult to calm it down at all, and if he encounters the Lingyun County Lord again and gets involved in the conspiracy of the Red Lotus Sect, it will be even more difficult for him to get out.

If you help the Red Lotus Sect, you will be wanted by the Jin Kingdom.

If you help the county lord, you will be regarded as an enemy by the Red Lotus Sect.

It's not good to calculate, it's not human inside and out.

Just when his face was full of sorrow, Negative Yi suddenly heard a big chaos in the house, the flames soared into the sky, and the sound of swords was accompanied by screams.

"What's going on!"

Negative easy yelling.

Soon the soldiers came to report that a huge rat demon had appeared in the house, killing people everywhere, and dozens of soldiers had been bitten to death.

Negative Yi was furious, grabbed the heavy knife next to him and rushed out.

In the castle guard's mansion, there was a fierce battle.

As a seventh-rank martial artist, the city guard general Yi Yi gathered hundreds of men and horses to besiege and kill the mad seventh-order rat demon in his own mansion.

The battle shattered more than a dozen courtyard walls, knocked down six or seven houses, and finally leveled the gates.

When Negative Yi was covered in blood and killed the seventh-order rat demon in embarrassment, he found that there was a group of people standing outside the flattened mansion gate behind him.

It's all civil servants and officials in the city!

These people surrounded a girl in white like a moon and a moon, all of them lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, and they were as respectful as their grandsons.

Negative Yi's eyes widened a little.

The situation he least wanted to see still appeared.

The girl in white had a shallow smile on her soft face, and said:

"The general is very skilled, I am Mu Qingyao, the lord of Lingyun County, and I am here to ask the general for help."

The girl's soft voice was very good, but after hearing it, she only felt that her brain was starting to hurt.
