“All things are interdependent.”
Tao Yaoyao looked at everyone, "Like, there must be an antidote in places where poisonous snakes are infested. Eating too many oranges will cause you to get angry, but the white stuff on the oranges can get rid of the inflamed people.
This land is barren, but there is something that makes it bloom, and it even looks more fertile than those fertile lands. "
"However, the soil quality will not change, which is why the cattle in the village will be poisoned after eating these grasses."
While the villagers were half-understood, Xiao Shuo already understood what she meant, "What changed the soil quality?"
"Red morning dew. I have read about it in an ancient book, but I have never seen this thing." Tao Yaoyao also happened to see this thing. At that time, he thought it was an exaggeration in the book, but now he has discovered that everything is really true. It has its own set number.
"Red Morning Dew?" Xiao Shuo felt that the name sounded familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. At this time, a deep voice came, "Red morning dew was developed by Shu Kiyoko. It is said that it is made from white medicinal liquid using peach blossoms in March as medicinal ingredients."
Zhang Jing came over from the side path with his people.
"Master Xiao."
"Master Zhang? Why are you here?" Zhang Jing is now a celebrity in the court. Xiao Shuo naturally knows him, but he doesn't remember that the Criminal Department has a case in Baijiacun.
"Xiaoguan got the news that Jiu Qingzi came to Baijia Village. There was a murder case involving him before, so Xiaguan came over as soon as he got the news."
He didn't expect to meet them here either.
"Master Xiao, this is..."
After Xiao Shuo briefly talked about Baijiacun, he mentioned that Tao Yaoyao led them to find these things and discovered this place.
"Miss Tao said that the reason why the fallen soil at the foot of the mountain suddenly became lush with vegetation was because someone spread red morning dew."
At this time, the villagers finally understood what was going on. The village chief was the first to stand up, "So the cows in our village were killed by others? Sir, you must find this person named Jiu Qingzi and ask him to compensate us." Cow."
"Yes, sir, our whole village depends on you for next year's spring plowing."
Xiao Shuo reassured the people, "Don't worry, everyone, I have intervened in this case and will definitely investigate to the end. Now I have to go with Mr. Zhang to find someone. It's inconvenient for everyone to follow, so please go back."
In addition, on the grassland at the foot of the mountain, be sure to keep an eye on the children in the village and don't play there. Also keep an eye on your poultry and don't go there again. "
After the villagers agreed, they turned around and walked down the mountain. When Uncle Bai passed by Tao Yaoyao, he asked cautiously, "Miracle doctor, my cow..."
"Don't worry, uncle, I've given it Baijie Pills. Count the time, if you go back now, your cow should be fine."
"Really?" Uncle Bai was very excited. The people nearby who had died cows heard this and felt envious and distressed. "Why didn't the miracle doctor come to our Baijia Village earlier? In this case, my cows might not have to die. "
"Yes. Miracle doctor, you have helped our village a lot this time. All the people in our village are grateful to you."
The villagers were so enthusiastic that Tao Yaoyao felt uncomfortable, so she hurriedly went to Xiao Shuo for help. Xiao Shuo reminded the people that they had something to do later, and the villagers turned around and left.
"Okay, Miss Tao, we have to go and get busy. It's time for you to go back."
Xiao Shuo saw that Tao Yaoyao was still standing there without any sign of wanting to leave, so he reminded her, "Jiu Qingzi is one of the few dangerous people in the world. It is too dangerous for the girl to follow us, so we should go back to Kyoto City first." Bar."
"You know I'm here to find you?" Tao Yaoyao's eyes lit up after hearing the meaning of Xiao Shuo's words, "But my fifth brother told you?"
Xiao Shuo nodded after hesitating, "Yes."
"Then what did you think about it?" Tao Yaoyao asked again.
This time Xiao Shuo said very clearly, "I have no plans to get married for the time being. Thank you Miss Tao for your love, but please choose another lover."
Tao Yaoyao was about to propose marriage, but she was rejected outright.
The taste is like the braised pork you've been looking forward to for an hour and it's finally coming out of the pot, but the cook tells you that the fire is too high and the braised pork in the pot is all burnt.
Zhang Jing stood aside, his usually cold expression changed slightly after hearing Xiao Shuo's words, but it was only for a moment, and soon he returned to his old don't disturb strangers mode.
"Master Xiao is indeed a rare gentleman as my fifth brother said. My little girl admires him. It doesn't matter. Even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends."
Tao Yaoyao pretended to be calm. Just when she was about to leave, a strong wind suddenly blew in the woods. This wind was strange but very strong. Even people like Xiao Shuo who have practiced martial arts must rely on their internal strength to protect them. Don't let yourself be blown away by the wind, let alone a weak woman like Tao Yaoyao.
"Master Xiao..."
The moment Tao Yaoyao was blown up by the wind, she grabbed Qiu Gui. She originally thought that the combined weight of the two of them could withstand the strong wind, but who knew that they were both blown up in an instant.
Seeing that the two of them were about to be blown down the mountain, Xiao Shuo spun around and came to her, grabbed her hand and hugged the big tree in front of her.
Other government officials were also clinging to the big trees to survive. Although Zhang Jing reacted quickly, there were no trees blocking his position, so when the strong wind blew up, he was sucked into the whirlpool behind him.
Soon, the strong wind receded, and everyone arranged their clothes and stood where they were before.
"Where's Mr. Zhang?"
Tao Yaoyao's arm was injured, but it was not serious. After she stood still, she immediately went to look for Zhang Jing, but suddenly there was heavy fog in the forest.
"No, this is poisonous smoke. Cover your mouth and nose quickly."
After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, he quickly pulled off his purse, took out Baijie Pills from it, took one himself, left another one for Qiu Gui, and immediately handed the porcelain bottle to Xiao Shuo.
"Eat it quickly."
The three of them were close to each other, so they took the antidote as soon as possible. However, the other government officials were a little far away, and they had already inhaled the poisonous smoke when they heard Tao Yaoyao's reminder, so they all fell to the ground. Unconscious.
"Give them the antidote."
While Xiao Shuo and Qiu Gui were giving the antidote to the government officials, Tao Yaoyao was not idle either. She raised her head and looked around, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.
"There is such heavy smoke in such a big place. It can be seen that the person who poisoned it has spent a lot of money. Mr. Xiao, what case is Mr. Zhang investigating? This person obviously wants to kill people and silence them."
If she had known that the case Zhang Jing was investigating was so dangerous, she should have gone down the mountain with the villagers just now.
Whether you get married or not is not as important as your own life.
"I don't know either." Xiao Shuo really didn't know what case Zhang Jing was investigating. The reason why he stayed just now was because the case he was investigating also involved Jiu Qingzi.
"Don't worry about what's going on here, and quickly find a way to get down the mountain. I promised your cousin will protect you."
Xiao Shuo wanted to protect Tao Yaoyao and leave first.
Tao Yaoyao looked at the government servant on the ground and shook his head, "That Jiu Qingzi obviously wants to trap us all here. If you take us away, I'm afraid he will kill your colleagues.
I came into this place myself, and even if something happens in the end, it has nothing to do with you. "
Tao Yaoyao saw that they had finished taking the antidote to the government officials, and quickly pointed to the distance and said, "I see the direction where the poisonous smoke is drifting, and the person should be at that location. Mr. Xiao, let's go and take a look."
There is death on both sides, so it is better to give it a try.
Dingbei Palace
"My lord, it's not good. Jiu Qingzi trapped Mr. Xiao and others in the back mountain." Chang Geng paused after speaking, and then added, "Miss Tao is also in the back mountain."
Xie Lan paused slightly while holding the file, then raised his head and said, "Where is Zhang Jing?"
"He is also in the back mountain." Chang Geng briefly talked about what happened in the morning, "Master Xiao and Miss Tao were involved in this matter unintentionally, but now Jiu Qingzi obviously wants to use their lives in exchange for Fufeng... But the second prince is very eager to perform meritorious deeds, so I’m afraid he won’t hand people over easily.”
In response, Xie Lan sneered, "If I can send people to him, I will have a way to bring them out."
After Chang Geng understood what Xie Lan meant, he immediately turned around and left the room.
At this time, Tao Yaoyao, Xiao Shuo and Qiu Gui came to a thatched hut. Going further, after the smoke faded a little, they saw a person hanging outside the thatched hut. Judging from his clothes and body shape, this person should be Zhang Jing.
"Master Zhang."
Xiao Shuo flew forward to save Zhang Jing. At this moment, the surrounding mechanisms suddenly opened, and countless arrows were directed at Zhang Jing. Xiao Shuo had no choice but to block the arrows for Zhang Jing first, and then think about saving people. .
But with so many arrows, Xiao Shuo, no matter how strong he is, may not be able to hold on for long.
After Tao Yaoyao saw what Jiu Qingzi meant, she shouted loudly, "Senior Jiu Qingzi, you deliberately brought us here, you probably have something to say to us.
Now that we're here, you say it.
Mr. Xiao is the young minister of Dali Temple. With him here, he will definitely be able to help you get what you want. But if he is dead, it will be meaningless for you to make such a fuss today. "
As soon as Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, the window of the thatched house opposite opened instantly, and then a white-haired old man flew out from inside.
Although the old man has gray hair, he looks very good. He glanced at them like this while standing in front of the door, which can make people feel intimidated.
"Miss, this servant is a little scared." Qiu Gui grabbed her sleeve and suppressed her fear to prevent herself from fainting.
After Tao Yaoyao comforted her, he said again, "Senior Jiu Qingzi, please show your respect and shut down the agency."
Jiu Qingzi glanced at Xiao Shuo, then hit a stone, and then the mechanism stopped.
Xiao Shuo knelt on the ground exhausted. Tao Yaoyao walked over and took a look at his injuries, "Qiu Gui, help me tear this veil in half."
When Qiu Gui used the dagger to spar Zi, Tao Yaoyao took out the golden medicine and started to apply it to Xiao Shuo.
"Little girl, everything is well prepared. Who is your master?"
Jiu Qingzi seemed to be in a good mood and did not rush to tell her conditions. Instead, she sat on the steps and chatted with Tao Yaoyao.
"I don't have a master, I'm self-taught."
