"Sister, are you eloping?"
Guo Miao didn't expect Zhao Ting to ask such a question, so she blushed and laughed, "Brother Ting, why do you ask this?"
"Sister, you usually...well, how should I put it, look at all the young men in Xudu, they are all afraid of you, and now I..." Zhao Ting knew Guo Miao's temper. For her to be able to go out with a man, her relationship is obviously unusual.
"Brother Ting, you are overthinking. My brothers and the others all know that I have come out. And this is Young Master Cao. How can I drag him away and ruin his future?"
Zhao Ting then rubbed the back of his head and laughed, "It's okay, hehe. I'm not afraid that you will bully Brother Song."
Guo Miao's face turned red and she said thoughtfully: "How can I say this? I can't bully him."
Zhao Ting walked up to Song Xin and asked, "Brother Song, may I ask why those people were chasing you just now?"
Song Xin told Zhao Ting about the Cui family pretending to be thieves and looting. As soon as the latter heard this, his face became very ugly, "Are you serious about what you said?"
Song Yu said: "They admitted it themselves. And the old man just now is the housekeeper of the Cui family. He has already killed the master, and now he is probably rushing back to seize the family property."
Zhao Ting suddenly grabbed Song Xin's hand and said solemnly: "Brother Song, I didn't expect that you would give me this great contribution as soon as we met!"
"Ah?" Song Xin was stunned. Before he could react, Zhao Ting laughed and said, "I was following the order of Prime Minister Pengcheng, pretending to be on a safari in search of bandits along the road. After asking about it for nearly a month, I found out that I didn’t see any sign of them, so it turns out they are all pretended to be the housekeeper of the Cui family!”
Song Xin was greatly surprised. He thought the other party was out hunting. "Well, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have let Zhao Bi leave when he was here just now. I originally planned to heal Miss Guo's injuries and then go back to settle the score with them." After saying this, he patted his head regretfully. head.
Zhao Ting laughed and said, "Don't worry about this. As this brother said, Zhao Bi still has so much property that he can't give up, so he won't run away. I will mobilize the troops and surround the Cui family. Catch them!"
Seeing his eagerness to perform meritorious service, Song Xin guessed that he and Guo Mu had similar personalities and aspirations, and both wanted to join the army and perform meritorious service. Song Xin called Song Yu to his side and said to Zhao Ting: "This friend of mine just went to explore the terrain of the Cui family's residence last night. If you take him with you, you can avoid detours."
Zhao Ting was overjoyed, got on his horse and loudly ordered to assemble. After a while, several groups of people gathered around. It turned out that they were divided into several groups to search nearby. With Song Yu as our guide, we will be able to catch all the bandits in one fell swoop.
"Song Yu, take Mr. Zhao to Cuijia Town and help him capture the villain. Miss Guo and I will continue on our way. After you are done, wait for us at the Pengcheng Station ahead. I got the medicinal materials and came immediately Join you."
"Master, you really don't need me to go to the fairy city with you? If the Luo family comes to trouble you, there is still a helper." Song Yu hesitated.
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Song Yu no longer tried to persuade him, but clasped his fists and said, "Song Yu will definitely live up to his orders!"
Zhao Ting led the large group of people towards the west. Song Xin looked at their leaving figures and said with a smile: "Hey, what did you whisper just now? Are you still mysterious?"
Guo Miao chuckled: "I won't tell you." As she said that, a blush appeared on her face.
"Well, let me guess, he must think that you abducted me, right?"
Guo Miao smiled shyly, "Little thief, it's obviously you who stole my heart!"
Song Xin scratched her nose and said, "Okay, let's set off and cure you as soon as possible." He helped Guo Miao get on the horse.

After resting for a while, Guo Miao's strength recovered. Song Xin was afraid that she would fall off the horse, so he sat behind her and supported her.
Guo Miao was so shy that she huddled in Song Xin's arms with joy. She still looked like the domineering young lady when they first met. Zhuiying carried the two of them for more than ten miles. When the sun reached noon, Song Xin felt that Guo Miao seemed to have fallen asleep. Song Xin was shocked when he checked her breathing.
"Oops!"
"It's only two days before we get to Xuzhou... I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on there..." Song Xin felt a chill on her body.
He found a clean place, laid her down and squeezed a few grapes into her mouth. At this time, Guo Miao slowly opened her eyes, raised her hand and stroked Song Xin's cheek and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go." It’s Xuzhou...”
Song Xin looked at her gradually haggard appearance, and secretly made the decision to take her there even if he revealed the secret of Shanshui Lingze!
Just as he was about to send Guo Miao to Shanshui Lingze, he heard a voice vibrating in his sea of consciousness, "If you want her to die faster, just let her in."
"Youjing?"
"Hmph, mountains, rivers, and lakes are filled with spiritual energy. Mortals cannot inhale spiritual energy directly. Don't you know?"
Song Xin just woke up from a dream. She only thought about not revealing the secrets of Baoping and Xiaoyu, but she forgot that spiritual energy is as poisonous to people without spiritual cores. If Guo Miao goes in, he will die within a quarter of an hour.
"But it's so slow. When will we get to Xuzhou..." Song Xin said.
"You can help him with grapes first. She won't die for the time being. You don't even know the efficacy of the treasures you grow. If you give a few grapes to ordinary people, they can prolong their lives. It's more than enough to help this little girl breathe again. She It's just that he was too weak and fell into a coma." Youjing said.
Song Xin nodded, hugged her and sat down. Passing by a post station, he asked Yi Cheng to borrow a carriage and continued on his way. In the evening, they finally arrived at Pengcheng. If they walked east for one day, they could enter Xiapi County and see Xuzhou City.
Song Xin decided to travel overnight. At noon on the second day, a huge city jumped out from the horizon.
"This is Xuzhou?" Guo Miao was a little surprised, but the word Xuzhou was indeed written on the city gate, which was absolutely unmistakable.
Song Xin directly took out the Xiangfu waist badge and hung his sword on his waist. When he entered the city, the soldiers guarding the gate knelt down when they saw it. No one dared to come up for questioning.
He went directly to the inn that concealed the entrance to Fairy City. At this time, there was no guest inside, except for a young man lying on the counter and taking a nap.
"Brother, do you have an identity card? I want to take her into the city."
Song Xin pushed the young man to wake up. The man curled his lips and glanced at Guo Miao. He took out a little finger-long jade plaque from underneath and continued to sleep on his stomach. Song Xin smiled and placed two jade coins in front of him.
"What's this?"
"This is your identity jade token for entering the city. Come on, put your finger on it and I will help you guide your true energy in."
Guo Miao nodded and put her finger on it. Song Xin pressed her fingers gently, and the true energy in her body slowly penetrated into Guo Miao's body, looking for her true energy. Her original energy was very weak at this time, even weaker than that of an ordinary mortal. The toxins from the ghost-headed worms could also directly damage the original energy, causing physical weakness.
It took Song Xin a long time to capture a trace of true energy in her heart, guide it out, and leave a mark on the jade identity plate.
Then he helped Guo Miao and walked towards the wall behind the inn.
Guo Miao was stunned as he followed Song Xin through the wall in a daze, and then passed through a long passage. When the vision suddenly opened up, Guo Miao was stunned.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Is this the fairy city you mentioned?"
He saw her looking shocked, exactly the same as when he first came. Song Xin smiled and said, "Well, when we go in, we can heal your injuries."
Guo Miao nodded excitedly. Without Song Xin, she would never have seen such a fairyland in her life. Grabbing Song Xin's hand, the two walked side by side in front of the monk who was checking the identity jade plaque.
A monk's consciousness swept over the two of them and asked: "Is this her first time in the fairy city? Do you know the rules?"
"This is the first time. I will explain the rules to her slowly."
The monk nodded, "Well, go in. Don't make trouble."
Song Xin felt very strange, why did this person give such instructions, but he did not say this to others.
But he didn't think much and walked in with Guo Miao. The monk then turned to look at Song Xin's back, called a monk next to him, and whispered: "That's the person Luo Tian asked us to pay attention to, go and send Luo Tian a message."
Song Xin didn't know that as soon as he came in, he would be targeted by the informants arranged by the Luo family.
Taking Guo Miao to the small shop where Peng Mu was, Peng Mu was surprised when he saw her, "Is this the girl you mentioned... who was parasitized by the ghost-headed worm?"
Guo Miao nodded slightly, feeling that the old man's glasses were a bit strange and didn't know what they were for.
"It's her, Uncle Peng. I've passed on the recipe to you. I wonder if the ingredients can be found?"
Peng Mu said: "As soon as I received the prescription, I went to ask my old friend at the medical center, but it was a bit tricky..."
Song Xin felt his scalp numb and asked, "What's going on?"
"This prescription requires fifteen medicinal ingredients. I have found thirteen of them, but the last two are a little difficult."
"How difficult it is, don't you have enough jade coins?"
"The jade coins are enough, but..." Peng Mu hesitated.
"Uncle Peng, just ask, no matter what the difficulty is, I will save her."
Peng Mu then said: "The last two medicinal materials are only available in the Luo family... When I asked my old friend to purchase them, I found that the Luo family had recently tightened the sales channels. Unless you get a prescription from the Luo family medical clinic, Only then can you buy according to the prescription.”
Song Xin suddenly felt his scalp numb, and asked unwillingly: "Aren't there other drug stores?"
"These last two medicinal materials, ambergris and fire lotus... are only grown in the Luo family's medicine garden, and they know that they are used to prepare antidotes for ghost-headed worm toxins, so they have monopolized their trade. .”
After hearing what Peng Mu said, Guo Miao's face turned pale. Her poisonous insect was planted by the Luo family for him. How could he still be willing to save her now?
"Let's go." Guo Miao suddenly said.
"What? No, I have to cure you before I leave!"
Guo Miao smiled sadly and said: "This must be the woman from the Luo family who knew you were coming to save someone and deliberately made things difficult for you. She just wanted you to beg them."
"Don't worry, girl, there is another place, maybe you can find it."
Song Xin suddenly raised his head and asked, "Where is it?"
Peng Mu lowered his voice and said in a modern accent: "This city's black market."
"Is there a black market here?"
Peng Mu nodded and said: "Of course, as long as there are things that are difficult to trade, there will be people selling them on the black market. But the price...may be several times more expensive."
"Even if it's ten times more expensive, you have to find it. Tell me where it is and I'll find it!"
