Return to Weiyuan Escort Agency. After getting off the carriage, Nangong Qin asked Qin Chuan and his son to help him, helped Nangong Ke on his back, and walked hurriedly to the yard while carrying his eldest son on his back. Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan and his son, and Granny Cui followed closely behind and walked to the backyard together.
Mrs. Nangong and the housekeeper had already been waiting at the door of Nangong Ke's room. When they saw Nangong Qin walking towards Nangong Ke with Nangong Ke on his back, Mrs. Nangong greeted him anxiously and called her son's nickname repeatedly. Seeing that his son didn't respond at all, he sobbed in a low voice.
Seeing this scene, the housekeeper hurriedly ordered the maids to prepare hot water and towels and send them to Nangong Ke's room. Several maids left in response, and the housekeeper called a boy and asked him to immediately ask the most famous miracle doctor in the city - Dr. He from Ruichuntang.
In the room, Nangong Ke was laid flat on the bed and covered with a new brocade quilt. Mrs. Nangong sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her son with worry. Su Qiqi also squatted next to her eldest brother, observed silently for a while, and checked his hand pulse. He turned around and said to Nangong Qin and others: "Brother's pulse is a bit strange, fast and slow, intermittent, and the rhythm is a bit disordered... could he be poisoned?"
"It's very possible that Mrs. Wu is also a master of using poison. I also suspect that she gave Ke'er poison..." Nangong Qin said thoughtfully.
"What? Ke'er has been poisoned? Master, call the doctor!" Mrs. Nangong became even more anxious after hearing what her husband and daughter said.
Su Qiqi hurriedly went over to comfort her mother, and then asked Granny Cui to diagnose her elder brother first. She and Zheng Miao also took out ancient medical scriptures to search for relevant records so that they could prescribe the right medicine.
After a while, Granny Cui took Nangong Ke's pulse and did a full body examination. She said to Nangong Qin and others solemnly: "He is indeed poisoned, but I'm afraid only Mrs. Wu has the antidote..."
"Oh, Grandma Cui, can you tell me what kind of poison the dog got?" Nangong Qin bowed his hands.
Grandma Cui was startled for a moment, then replied: "Based on the current situation, it is most likely that the Five Poison Soul-Destroying Pills that Mrs. Wu is best at... It is said that people who are poisoned have normal complexions, and those who are infirm only have sick complexions and are usually comatose. It takes two or three days for him to wake up, and after he wakes up, he will be like a walking corpse, not talking or eating. After six or seven days, his whole body will suddenly fester and die, as if he was infected by the plague..."
"Ah? Isn't this too scary?" Zheng Miao, who was reading ancient medical scriptures, opened her mouth in surprise and looked at the sleeping Nangong Ke distressedly. Although he currently doesn't have much contact with Nangong Ke, in the remaining memory of the original owner, this man also loves him like an elder brother. You must find a way to save him.
As soon as Zheng Miao finished speaking, Qin Hannian suddenly interjected: "I remembered... the Changfeng Escort Bureau murder case that caused a storm in the city more than ten years ago is said to be related to her..."
"Oh? Han Nian, when you mentioned this, it reminded me... I thought of someone who might be able to help Ke'er detoxify..." Nangong Qin's eyes lit up as he spoke, showing a hint of joy.
Granny Cui asked hurriedly: "Are you talking about the Infinite Golden Immortal?"
Nangong Qin nodded and looked at Granny Cui expectantly, hoping to get some good news from her.
However, when Granny Cui heard this, she sighed and said quietly: "This poison was created by Mrs. Wu herself, and the other two guardians of Yeyou League were also a little afraid of it... Back then, it was rumored that Wuliang Jinxian used a homemade antidote. I saved the young daughter of the boss of the Changfeng Escort Bureau, but only half of her life was saved, leaving serious sequelae... The young lady committed suicide by hanging herself a few years later because she couldn't stand the pain..."
"Could it be that... we can only ask that evil woman for the antidote?" Nangong Qin sighed in frustration. He really didn't want to see that ulterior woman again.
"Dad! Let me go!" Su Qiqi volunteered and asked for help.
Nangong Qin was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No, I'd better go in person. Your eldest brother is already like this. I can't let you have any more accidents..."
"Dad, I can handle it!" Su Qiqi continued to fight. Qin Chuan couldn't bear Su Qiqi's disappointment and hurriedly stepped forward and echoed: "Uncle Nangong, let me accompany Su'er... I will bring her back unharmed!"
Nangong Qin hesitated for a moment, then looked at Qin Hannian and asked for his opinion. Qin Hannian smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, let them two go..."
When Su Qiqi saw that Uncle Qin agreed, she quickly bowed her hands, said goodbye to her father and others, and pulled Qin Chuan towards the door.
After leaving the door, she slowed down, glanced at Qin Chuan, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I drag you into the water every time..."
Qin Chuan smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, I'm willing...to go up to the mountain of swords and down to the sea of fire, I'll accompany you..."
Su Qiqi's eyes lit up after hearing what he said, and she said with a crooked smile: "That's enough, buddy! Let's go! Let's go to Wusheng Escort Bureau to get the antidote now..."
Qin Chuan nodded, and the two of them quickly walked out of the yard, driving the carriage as fast as they could, frightening a tree of night birds.
After a while, the two of them arrived outside the courtyard of Wu Sheng Escort Bureau. The two of them hid in the dark and observed for a while. It was dark inside the courtyard, except for a small wind lantern hanging outside the stable, emitting a faint light.
"Let's go and have a look around the secret room..." Su Qiqi leaned close to Qin Chuan's ear and whispered. Qin Chuan nodded, and the two of them tiptoed around to the blasted secret room in the backyard.
The big hole is still there! In the darkness, it looks even more eerie and terrifying, like a bloody mouth that wants to swallow up all living things in the world.
Su Qiqi squatted on the wall, took out the telescope he carried with him, and secretly watched through the gaps in the branches. Qin Chuan sat on a thick tree branch and looked ahead leisurely. The guards at Wusheng Escort Bureau were just decorations to him, and sneaking into this place was almost like entering an uninhabited land.
The moonlight casts a mottled shadow in front of Mrs. Wu's practice room. The outlines of some indoor furniture can be vaguely seen on the hollow doors and windows. With the help of a telescope, Su Qiqi successfully captured Mrs. Wu's traces.
At this moment, she seemed to have taken care of the wound, but she did not go back to the bedroom to rest. Instead, she sat next to the weapon rack in the practice room, holding a candle in one hand and flipping through the contents of the wooden box in front of her with the other, as if she was looking for something.
What is she doing? Su Qiqi's mind was spinning, and she asked Qin Chuan to continue observing at the same spot with the telescope, while he quietly used Qing Gong and flew to the roof of the practice room. He walked quietly for a few steps, then squatted down, carefully lifted up a few tiles, and looked into the house.
As soon as she saw the contents of the wooden box clearly, she suddenly felt a gaze coming towards her like lightning. She came back to her senses and found that Mrs. Wu was looking up at her. Her eyes were very strange, as ferocious as a female ghost.
Su Qiqi bounced up as if she was electrocuted, flew a few steps backwards, and almost fell off the eaves. Fortunately, Qin Chuan rushed over in time and helped her.
She glanced at Qin Chuan, then breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "Wooden box...green light...insects..."
Su Qiqi repeated it several times incoherently, and Qin Chuan was confused. But he didn't ask immediately. Instead, he picked up Su Qiqi, who was still shivering, and flew out of the hospital.
In the practice room, Mrs. Wu closed the wooden box, held a candle and chased out. When she saw the shadow of the carriage in the distance, she raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth.
She returned to the yard, woke up Wu Sankui, and asked him to take several bodyguards and servants to move the wooden box in the practice room to the carriage, and immediately set off for the locust tree forest on the southern hillside outside the city.
Wu Sankui put on his coat and rubbed his groggy eyes, and asked in confusion: "Goddess, didn't your agreement with the Weiyuan Escort Bureau be cancelled? Why are you still going to the locust forest outside the city?"
Mrs. Wu's almond-shaped eyes widened and she said impatiently: "Just send the things over and don't worry about anything else! I have my own arrangements..."
"Yes! My child obeys!" Wu Sankui did not dare to ask any more questions. After bowing to Mrs. Wu, he and several others loaded the wooden box onto the carriage and prepared to set off.
As soon as he got on the carriage, he was stopped by Mrs. Wu again. "Kui'er, after you deliver the things, let Zhao San and You Wu look at them...come back and help me deliver a letter to the Weiyuan Escort Bureau..."
Wu Sankui nodded in agreement, sat on the first carriage, and directed the others to escort the wooden box to the locust forest on the southern hillside outside the city.
