Yun Fuyao was still sleeping, and his face was still pale. But his breathing was still steady, and the old guy's methods were indeed extraordinary.
"Boy, it's been more than ten days, what's the progress?" The old guy Sun Daotong crossed his legs and gnawed on the roast chicken. Big Big Wolf also got a chicken leg under his feet, and he was enjoying the meal.
Jiang Fan stretched out his hand to tuck Yun Fuyao into bed.
"You can't be hasty. If she doesn't comply, you can't force yourself."
"Yes, if forced, it would be quite troublesome for Ba Qingru to refuse to hand over the earth spirit marrow. Besides, Ba Qing is also a very powerful alchemy master, second only to Xu Fun. If she does something with the earth spirit marrow, Although my hands and feet may not be able to help me, they are still very troublesome."
Jiang Fan nodded: "So, this is a time to be patient."
Sun Daotong glanced at him: "Boy, don't say I didn't remind you, your time is limited."
Jiang Fan smiled: "I understand, but at this time, it is more important to be steady, right?"
Sun Daotong: "As long as you understand in your heart. Now that you have got the Heart Grass, Xu Fu is on standby at any time, and you have taken care of my daughter-in-law. All that is missing is this Earth Spirit Essence. Once you get it, Girl Yun will be a blessing in disguise..."
Jiang Fan looked at him with a smile but not a smile: "Old guy, let me remind you something, Xiaocui... But I remember how you deceived her in the first place..."
Sun Daotong jumped up from his chair: "I'm a coward. None of us can run away from this matter. You have to find a way."
Jiang Fan laughed and said, "What can I do? I've already paid such a big price. Xiaocui is relieved after thinking about it, but you can't. You old guy is still at large."
Sun Daotong threw the roasted chicken back on the table and pointed at Jiang Fan's nose: "I don't care about my coward. If she wants to deal with me, you have to stand up. Otherwise, huh, your Fuyao baby... you have to decide for yourself. .”
"Yes, yes." Jiang Fan waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I'll take care of it, but you have to be careful about Fuyao."
Sun Daotong snorted: "It's still a human saying."
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Old guy, there is something I haven't asked you. Back then... did you know who she was?"
Sun Daotong immediately shook his head like a rattle.
Jiang Fan didn't believe it: "I was looking for various places to hide in the world, and I didn't pay much attention to the appearance of the empress. But you are different. You are a veteran who has been around the world, and you have seen with your own eyes what Xiao Cui looked like before the red spots appeared. If you say you don’t recognize it, haha... Do you think I believe it or not?"
"Believe it or not, I'm just playing a prank anyway." Sun Daotong said with a steely mouth.
"Actually... I've been thinking, if you knew, why did you do this? A prank? It's true that a disrespectful guy like you can do it, but I always feel that it's not that simple." Jiang Fan smiled. Looking at him non-smilingly.
Sun Daotong snorted: "Whatever you think, I won't admit it anyway. Besides, you didn't refuse. You said that you were innocent and that you had no evil intentions. Do you believe it or not?"
Seeing that Jiang Fan was speechless for a moment, Sun Daotong waved his hand: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, give me the Tianxincao first, I want to mix it up."
The old guy was nothing but a piece of meat, and no one could do anything to him. Jiang Fan had no choice but to smile helplessly and give up questioning. He took out a long and narrow jade box from his arms and said, "Just this one, take it easy."
"Get out of here, who am I, a doctor..."
"You must be the best in the world." Jiang Fan waved his hand helplessly.
Sun Daotong took the box, but his expression was a little complicated: "Boy, you finally took this step."
Jiang Fan didn't have that confused and hesitant look this time. He just said calmly: "Someone told me that mission creates destiny. So, if I want to figure out my destiny, I really have to explore the mission God gave me."
"...Is this why you're exploring unknown places?" Sun Daotong looked at him seriously and said.
Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Maybe, walking on two legs."
Sun Daotong sighed: "I really don't know what you are thinking or doing. I am old... I just hope to live more ordinary days..."
Jiang Fan was also a little surprised. He had never seen Sun Daotong like this before.
"Old guy...did you take the wrong medicine?" Jiang Fan said a little confused.
"Get out! You just took the wrong medicine."
"You didn't take the wrong medicine. Why are you so sentimental? You old guy has stronger bones than me. It's not difficult for you to survive that old fisherman." Jiang Fan curled his lips and said.
Sun Daotong kicked him: "I'm really worried about you kid. You're so ignorant. Get out of here. I'm so annoyed just looking at you!"
Jiang Fan was kicked out.
Sun Daotong closed the door, looked at the jade box in his hand and at Yun Fuyao on the bed, and sighed leisurely: "Little bastard, after all, you are still the most passionate person... How can a person like you be such a great monster in the world?"
——
There was no movement in the palace, causing the widow's affair to intensify.
Another ten days passed, and more than 3,000 people gathered at the place where the pillars were erected, sitting in protest all day long. There was a huge crowd of onlookers, and all the officials were extremely busy.
The envoy from Southern Chu had arrived and made an impassioned speech in the court, strongly protesting against the unreasonable detention by the King of Qin and imploring the empress to deal with it as soon as possible.
More officials also joined in the impeachment, and memorials flew onto their desks like snowflakes, making Zhao Gao and others busy.
Celebrities from Xia, Jin, and Wei even denounced it, and even seriously questioned the laws of Qin.
More and more shops are closing, which has even begun to affect the circulation of materials.
There is also a lot of heated discussion about this matter among the people. In addition to questioning King Xiaoyao's domineering and greedy nature, there are even rumors that the prince covets Ba Qing's beauty, and he has both nose and eyes.
Nowadays, many people gather at the gate of the palace every day. Some people condemn, some petition, and some watch the excitement.
But the gate of the palace was always closed tightly, and naturally, no one dared to break in.
The most puzzling thing is the attitude of the Empress of Qin. The empress actually paid no attention to it. It was said that she threw all the impeachment memorials into a big box without even reading them.
There are also those at the highest levels of the court. Old General Meng Ao never said a word from beginning to end. Xu Fu, the national preceptor, devoted himself to alchemy but never showed up. Li Xiu, Gao Qi, Wang Jian and others never expressed any opinions.
However, this strange situation had a strange effect. In the following days, the number of impeachment memorials decreased rapidly. Those who openly discussed the matter in the court gradually began to restrain themselves, while those who had been waiting and watching were even more silent. .
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and no one from the palace or the empress made any response to this matter.
But some things seem intriguing.
For example, the government notified those closed shops that according to Qin Law, if they are not open for a long time, the government will cancel their operating rights. Many landlords have also begun to repossess their shops.
For example, some powerful people in Qin suddenly terminated their cooperation with many merchants.
For example, the left prime minister Li Xiu heard that fake medicines in a drug store were harming people. He became angry and launched a so-called investigation operation against merchants in the city. Many of them were imprisoned.
For another example, Qin suddenly claimed that the Four Kingdoms were in chaos, and Da Qin did not want to be involved. It temporarily suspended many exchanges with the Four Kingdoms, and even temporarily stopped people from other countries from entering Qin. At the same time, it was claimed that due to the chaotic situation, Da Qin did not want to cause criticism and could not receive the envoys, so it specially sent the envoys of Nanchu back home.
What's even more strange is that Nanchu actually stopped and said goodbye to the officials of Daqin in a friendly manner, and never mentioned Ba Qing again.
In addition, many different voices emerged in the three kingdoms of Xia, Jin and Wei, just like the Nangong family, the richest family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, suddenly announced the termination of many cooperations. Claiming that many people took the opportunity to disrupt state affairs, the Nangong family would not associate with them. Cao Ying, the goddess of protection of Wei State, and Cao Zijian, the second prince, also angrily criticized the merchants for making trouble out of nothing, and so on.
Lots and lots of things, the atmosphere has become very weird...
Ba Qing's state became increasingly weird, and one day Yuwen Chengxin was surprised to find a few tiny broken porcelain pieces in the corner. There is also obviously one missing dish.
Obviously, this Shi Guanyin is not the real Shi Guanyin, and she is a little anxious.
