Stroking the oilcloth bag, thinking of the charred corpses he saw in Lai'an County, the murderous intent in Jiachu's eyes became even stronger.
But what he was riding on was the official horse of Lai'an County Government. What's more, there was a strong old man beside Zhou Jingxian. Just by meeting their eyes, he could feel that this old man was definitely not a human being, but a human being. His martial arts skills are no less than those of his masters.
Never act rashly.
Even if Jia Chu wanted to protect his master and wanted to go forward to question Zhou Jingxian, he knew that someone died outside Lai'an County that night.
But he knew that he couldn't. Not only couldn't he come forward to question him, but since the young Marquis had broken up with Zhou Jingxian and was already dead, he had to avoid Zhou Jingxian in case he knew about the death of the young Marquis. I know, deliberately blocking his way.
"Xu~~"
Jia Chu tightened the reins, forced the horse to stop at the fork in the road, and immediately turned north.
Ning Feng, who had been on alert, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the murderous man and horse leaving.
But when he saw the leaving figure clearly, he suddenly realized that it was very familiar.
"Isn't this the night traveler we met at the Luohe border last time? He was riding an official horse, right? Princess Xian, didn't you say he was from the Jin Palace? If you didn't know, you thought he was Ba Baili expedited the delivery of the letter."
No, it's not eight hundred miles, it's eight hundred miles away and three hundred miles back.
This time, the horse the man was riding was not much better than their horse.
Zhou Jingxian looked at the direction Jia Chu left, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Colonel Ning, if I remember correctly, he can reach the official waterway directly by walking north."
"Yes, if you walk fifty miles to the northwest, there will be an official canal and a post station. Today is an east wind. If he goes to Jing'an City, it will be a favorable wind."
Ning Feng had nothing to do but escort the convoy, so he naturally said whatever he knew.
But when Zhou Jingxian felt the changes in Jia Chu's attitude towards her, even after experiencing Zhou An's assassination that night, her temperament had matured a lot, and she still couldn't calm down at this time.
The people in Prince Jin's Mansion had most likely guessed that Zhou An was dead. They took a shortcut by water and wanted to rush to Prince Jin's Mansion to report the news.
The notes she submitted did not mention which car's seeds were damaged.
She also told Magistrate Jiang that in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, she would not publicize the matter to the outside world, but there was no guarantee that people from Prince Jin's Mansion in Jinling would not inquire about it.
"Hurry up and eat quickly. The time for making rice and resting before arriving at Guannai Road is shortened to half an hour."
Even though the officers and soldiers had complaints about this arrangement.
But when they saw Zhou Jingxian, who was so thin that she almost floated with her red clothes, they decided to grit their teeth and persevere.
Anyway, walk more than two hundred miles to the west and climb over a mountain before you reach the Guannai Road. You will need to persist for two days and two nights.
Ning Feng didn't know why Zhou Jingxian was even more anxious.
But thinking of the fleeting killing intent just now, he also felt a strong crisis.
"My dear fellows, speed up and eat before we set off!"
"College Ning has spoken, everyone, hurry up!"
Zhou Jingxian looked at Ning Feng, who could implement her orders to every officer and soldier every time, and suddenly realized that the Ning family's roots in Jinling... no, in the military, were far deeper than she had imagined.
The veteran took action, and it turned out that one was better than the other two.
If she had taken Mr. Ning on her way, she would have been worried that people from Prince Jin's Mansion would rush over and take Mr. Ning away to vent her anger.
It's just that some things can't be avoided for a while, but not for a lifetime.
According to Uncle Jin's character, even if she explained the whole story clearly, it would only be considered a murderous plot set up by her and Ning Wushu.
"Should I confess to Grandpa Huang, or should I pretend to know nothing?"
Grandpa Huang just punished her for not recognizing Zhou Anlai. If Mr. Ning was implicated, she would have to consider the consequences of every decision.
Zhou Jingxian scratched her scalp, which was itchy probably because she hadn't washed her hair for many days.
There is an illusion that my brain is going to be burned off.
She is really not suitable for thinking about such intrigues and intrigues, it's so itchy.
…
Snapped.
Ning Wuyang stretched out his hand and swatted a mosquito surrounding him to death, and waited quietly for Hua Yi to wring out the artemisia annua juice according to his instructions.
For a whole day, they measured with their feet from the back of Zhangjiazhuang Mountain to Hanshan Temple, and found large tracts of grassland.
Since the seed-bearing stage has not yet reached, in order to prevent villagers or children from accidentally destroying them, we specially sent Taoist priests from the temple and invited people to take care of them. They forced the pheasants and other animals wandering nearby to let them return to their homes. Moved several miles deep in the mountains.
When he came back in the evening, Hua Yi hadn't even eaten dinner yet, so he hurriedly took Ning Wuchang to verify the method of wringing the artemisia annua juice.
When the artemisia annua juice flowed into the earthen jar through the fine cloth, Hua Yi took out a spoonful with a wooden spoon and handed it to Ning Wuhou.
"How about this?"
"Ah...this...is pretty good."
Ning Wuyan looked at the Artemisia annua juice that was brought to his mouth and seriously doubted his own conclusion. I'm afraid it wouldn't work just by talking.
as expected.
Hua Yi put the spoon to his mouth again: "Would you like to try it? I have tested its toxicity with chickens and ducks. It is non-toxic."
Ning Wuhao, who has accidentally nibbled on artemisia annua many times, certainly knows that it is not poisonous.
But the taste of this stuff is too strong, and it has the effect of clearing away heat and cooling blood.
Ning Wuyan had no choice but to raise his left arm to stop the spoon: "Master Hua, if I drink this, it will delay my recovery."
"Really? That's right. This thing is meant to be refreshing, but it's really not good for you to recuperate your injuries and restore your energy and blood."
Hua Yi took back the wooden spoon and showed a meaningful smile.
Ning Wuyan suddenly thought that he only told Hua Yi that he knew about this medicinal material, but did not explain its medicinal properties. However, it was obviously not right to act so understanding at this time.
Fortunately, Hua Yi just tried it out, then changed his hand and stuffed the wooden spoon into his mouth.
"Hua Shi..."
Ning Wuyan was not able to stop him in time, so he could only see Hua Yi with green juice on his lips, frowning slightly and smacking his lips, savoring the taste of the artemisia annua juice, and couldn't laugh or cry.
It wasn't until all the medicinal taste dissipated from his mouth that Hua Yi asked with a smile: "Ning Shixian, why did you call me just now?"
"I think it's medicine that's three parts poison. You test the medicine, but don't test the medicine on yourself. If you're short of chickens or ducks, tell me, whether they're domesticated or in the mountains, I'll find someone to catch them for you. "
Ning Wuyang snatched the wooden spoon from his hand.
Hua Yi snatched it back again.
"Testing medicine on chickens and ducks can only test life and death, and the dosage cannot be tested at all. You don't have a precise prescription. I have to try medicine one medicine at a time. I can only take my time from small doses to large doses. Don't worry, you won't kill me if I drink it. "
"If something goes wrong after drinking it, it's not easy to find the Artemisia annua and squeeze out the juice. Who will be responsible for the subsequent preparation of the medicine? Chickens and ducks can't do it. I will go to other places to find monkeys for you to test the medicine."
Compared with the lives of other living beings, Hua Yi's life is naturally more important.
Ning Wuyan wanted to take the wooden spoon away again, but Hua Yi had already changed his hand and hid it behind his back, and asked in confusion: "Why do you want to find a monkey to test the medicine?"
