Qi Ronger used her sword to cut a wooden stick as thick as her little finger, washed it with clean water, wrapped the front end with soft gauze, and prepared to use it to thrust the demon pill the size of a pigeon egg into Zhang Xiaozu's stomach.
"Zhang Xiaozu, you are trying to fight for your damn breath!" Qi Ronger yelled at Zhang Xiaozu, then pinched his mouth open with her hands, put the demon elixir of the Three-Eyed Sirius King in, and then carefully used a wooden Stick into the esophagus.
Qin Xinru and Qin Rulan heard Qi Ronger's hysterical roar, and they all looked in the direction of Qi Ronger. Because Qi Ronger was facing away from them, they couldn't see the specific situation. They thought it was Zhang Xiaopou who was about to die and stimulated Qi Ronger. , I couldn't help but feel sad. After all, Zhang Xiaozu died to save them.
Qin Rulan wanted to go over and have a look, but was pulled back by Qin Xinru. The latter shook his head at her, pointed at Qi Ronger, and said softly: "She is emotionally broken now and has almost no reason. If we go there now, we will only get scolded by her. It might inspire her to do something even crazier. Just wait."
"But -" Qin Rulan opened her mouth to say something, but thinking of Qi Ronger's temper, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.
"Ru Lan, I'm leaving here tonight. I must inform my father about the Big Tooth invasion as quickly as possible." Qin Xinru sat down and said.
She didn't dare to put all her hopes on Duan Baifei and the others, because she was worried about whether Duan Baifei and the others could bring the information back to Baiyun City. To put it cruelly, she felt that Duan Baifei and the others would most likely not be able to escape the pursuit of the Big Tooth people because their condition was so severe. so terrible. So she had to take the information back in person to feel at ease.
Furthermore, the Big Ya people are in the territory of Baiyun City when they leave the Black Forest. This means that the war will soon break out in the territory of Baiyun City. By then, his father, eldest brother, and second brother may all lead troops to go on an expedition. She must go back as soon as possible. Help them.
Others may not understand what the Big Ya people's invasion at this time means, but she knows that the entire southern land is filled with mourning, and even the most drought-stricken places in the far south are already rioting. The Big Ya people's invasion at this time is to press a mountain on top of this disaster. The war crushed the people, and the people rioted, and the Daya people took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the flames. It is hard to imagine how this war and riots would end.
Could it be that the dark history that was cruel and unwilling to be mentioned sixty-eight years ago will happen again?
"Well, I'll go with you." Qin Rulan nodded after hearing this.
"No, you and her continue to hide here." Qin Xinru said, "There must be many Big Ya people outside now. It is not easy to expose the target if you act alone. As soon as I return to Baiyun City, I will ask my father to send someone to rescue you."
"But--"
"It's nothing. I'm my sister, you must listen to me." Qin Xinru interrupted Qin Rulan forcefully, and after a moment of silence, she continued: "If, I mean if, no one comes to save you, you will not be able to save you in a month. Leave, by then, no matter whether the Big Tooth Man’s conspiracy succeeds or not, there should be no one left in the Black Forest.”
She didn't say that if no one came to rescue them in a month, it would mean that her escape had failed. She was afraid that Qin Rulan would be worried if she told her. But she felt that with Qin Rulan's intelligence, she could understand what it meant even without saying anything.
Qin Xinru glanced at Qi Ronger who was not far away and saw that her shoulders were trembling and she seemed to be crying sadly. She looked back and told Qin Rulan: "You try to have a good relationship with her. Although this woman has a bit of a venomous mouth, she has a bad heart. She should be kind, otherwise she wouldn't risk her life to save us. You two help each other, and with your intelligence and excellence, it won't be a problem to survive hiding in this cave."
"I understand. Sister, you must be careful." Qin Rulan said with tears in her eyes.
Qi Ronger's shoulders were indeed trembling, but it was not trembling from sobbing, but trembling with excitement, because Zhang Xiaozu's pulse increased several times in an instant. Instead of losing his vitality, it became vigorous and powerful, and everything became better.
Just now she put the demon pill into Zhang Xiaozu's mouth, intending to push it in with a stick, but as soon as she hit her throat, Zhang Xiaozu swallowed it with a gulp, as if she knew it was a life-saving medicine. To be more precise, it was not swallowed, but sucked in with great force, because the speed was so fast that it went in in one swish.
Qi Ronger checked Zhang Xiaozu's pulse several times to confirm that she had no hallucinations. She felt that Zhang Xiaozu would be able to wake up after a good sleep in his current state, and her anxious heart was finally relieved.
Zhang Xiaopou survived the disaster and came back to life.
Qi Ronger was in a good mood, so she decided to share her good mood with the Qin sisters.
"Qin Xinru, do what you say still count?" Qi Ronger turned to look at Qin Xinru and asked. She was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a slight curvature at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were shining, like a woman who was having a bad idea. fraud.
Qin Xinru was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then thought about it and said, "Forget it. I said that as long as you save Ru Lan, I will agree to any conditions."
"Okay." Qi Ronger nodded with satisfaction, turned to Qin Rulan, and asked the same question: "Qin Rulan, do your words count?"
Qin Rulan also nodded and said, "Of course it counts."
"What did you say?" Qin Xinru asked softly.
"I said this when I asked her for the Spirit Gathering Pill. No matter what conditions she puts forward, I will agree." Qin Rulan said.
"What a good sister." Qin Xinru gently held Qin Rulan's hand, feeling warm in her heart.
Qi Ronger's eyes returned to Qin Xinru again and said, "I heard that Juxian Restaurant and Jubao Gambling House were the dowry promised to you by the Lord of the City?"
"Yes." Qin Xinru's heart thumped, but she still nodded and admitted.
"Okay, I want them, will you agree?" Qi Ronger said with a smile on her lips.
Qin Xinru was silent, because these two properties were the most profitable among her private properties, and ranked among the best among all the shops in Baiyun City. Losing these two financial resources would be like cutting off an arm of hers, and it would be difficult to let go of them.
"You can't eat them." Qin Xinru said after a moment of silence. Before Qi Ronger could get angry, she continued: "If you choose these two industries, you must know something about them. I don't know how many forces in Baiyun City are watching them. , think about it, if they get into your hands, will your family allow you to classify them as your own private property? If they are confiscated to the family, how much benefit will you get as a concubine? "
Bang bang bang!
Qi Ronger applauded and said: "As expected of the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion, her mind is clear and she can think of the key points at once. Since you think about me so much, how can I refuse your kindness? Let's do this. I will make a big step forward. I want half of the profits from these two properties every year. Listen, it’s not one year or two or three years, but every year. Of course, these two properties will still be run by you.”
Compared to asking for everything, just half is indeed a big step back.
To be honest, even if Qi Ronger takes a big step back, Qin Xinru is still heartbroken. Half of the money she earns every year has to be given away to others, which would make anyone else feel uncomfortable.
"Yes - yes." The words were thrown out, and even though she was reluctant, Qin Xinru still had the courage, and she nodded in agreement.
"The eldest lady is the eldest lady, I admire her." Qi Ronger said happily, and then looked at Qin Rulan, who was so scared that Qin Rulan couldn't help but shudder.
"Don't be afraid, you and I are the same age. Considering that we are of the same age, I will not embarrass you." Qi Ronger comforted, then stretched out three fingers to Qin Rulan and said: "A hundred years of cold heart wood, a hundred years of cold heart wood" Frost leaf grass, plus a Hunyuan Pill."
"Okay." Before Qin Rulan could answer, Qin Xinru readily agreed on her behalf.
Although the three things Qi Ronger asked for are all priceless treasures of heaven and earth, they can all be bought with money, and it is best to settle the debt at once without any debt. Unlike her, the relationship will never be settled unless Juxian Restaurant and Jubao Gambling House are no longer her property. Of course, she could also sell these two properties, but that would be equivalent to injuring the enemy by eight hundred and losing one thousand by herself.
"Hey -" Qi Ronger sighed faintly and said: "I really envy you noble daughters-in-law. You have inexhaustible resources for all kinds of cultivation. It doesn't hurt at all to take out two or three treasures."
The corners of Qin Xinru's eyes twitched, and she really wanted to slap Qi Ronger's mouth.
"Qin Xinru, how about making a deal?" Qi Ronger's eyes returned to Qin Xinru.
"What kind of deal?" Qin Xinru asked.
"I use half of the annual profits from Juxian Restaurant and Jubao Gambling House to buy two things?" Qi Ronger said with a smile.
Qin Xinru immediately cursed "Fuck" in her heart. She knew that she had fallen into Qi Ronger's trap. I was angry because I knew I was fooled, but I was still happy because I could make a clean break with Qi Ronger.
"Thousand-year Zhuguo and Tinghaidan, right?" Qin Xinru asked.
"It's amazing. You guessed it before I even said it. So, do you want to sell it?" Qi Ronger raised her thumbs and praised.
"Sell, of course." Qin Xinru curled her lips and said, "What you asked Rulan for is the panacea needed to advance to the realm of the sea, and you want to buy two things from me. If I can't guess what they are, what will happen? You're not stupid. Your name is Qi Ronger, right? I think I should get to know you again. Hello, Baiyun City, Qin Xinru of the Qin family."
Qin Xinru straightened her clothes and gave Qi Ronger a formal courtesy.
She really admired Qi Ronger's scheming. If Qi Ronger asked her for the Millennium Zhuguo and Tinghaidan from the beginning, she really couldn't guarantee that she would agree, because both of these two things were priceless and unmarketable. The treasures of Juxian Restaurant and Jubao Gambling House may not be able to be bought with five years of profit, but Qi Ronger step by step, from begging for Juxian Restaurant and Jubao Gambling House, to only needing half of the annual profit, to being able to buy it with just one knife She went from being impossible to agree to the things she wanted to have to readily agreeing, and she felt happy when she agreed. It could be said that her emotions were completely controlled by Qi Ronger.
This woman with a vicious mouth and a deep scheming mind is a difficult character to deal with.
Qin Xinru said this to Qi Ronger.
"Hello, Baiyun City, Qi Ronger, the concubine of the Qi family." Qi Ronner would treat her with the same courtesy.
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, a burst of applause suddenly sounded outside the cave, followed by a man's magnetic voice, saying: "You are so scheming and well-planned. It makes Su feel inferior. It is indeed worth getting to know you. It's just that you are a commoner." Girl, are you qualified to use the Millennium Zhuguo and Tinghaidan? If your family knew that you had these two treasures, do you think they would ask for them from you? Oh no, you shouldn't use the word 'begging'. It should be 'forcibly confiscated'."
"It's the second brother of the Su family!" Qin Rulan shouted happily when she heard the man's voice outside the cave.
Qin Xinru also looked excited, and there were even tears in the corners of her eyes.
Only Qi Ronger's face turned gloomy. She knew who the man outside the cave was. Of course, it didn't matter who he was. What was important was that this man's words contained a strong sense of threat.
