at this time.
Outside Wang Teng's courtyard, a medicine boy carrying a lantern came panting out of breath.
The guards guarding the courtyard recognized the boy who was looking after the elixir garden from a distance. The people in the elixir garden had not been seen a few times throughout the year, so how could they come to the old city lord's yard in the middle of the night.
Could it be...
The medicine boy obviously ran all the way at full speed. When he got to the ground, he panted for a long time before he could say: "Quick, go in and inform the big doctor inside that there is something wrong in the elixir garden... The elixir garden." "
The tall guard was dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked into the courtyard without saying a word.
The Spiritual Medicine Garden is the foundation of their Frost City.
Now that the old city lord is seriously ill, if there are any more losses to the elixir garden, it will undoubtedly make things worse. Their days in Frost City are really coming to an end.
The medicine boy was holding on to the courtyard wall. Before he could catch his breath, he felt a chill on his neck and disappeared as if being carried by a gust of wind.
The tall guard, who was a few steps behind the great doctor, came out of the courtyard. He thought for a while and told another companion: "You stay here and don't open the door to anyone. This is what the great doctor said. I'm leaving." Shuangyuan informs the eldest lady."
After the tall man finished speaking, he hurried to Lishuang Courtyard.
Lishuang Courtyard is three miles away from Wang Teng Courtyard, and is heavily guarded by soldiers and servants. There is no direct access token, so it will take at least half an hour to go back and forth.
The short guard who stayed there was still a little sleepy, but now he was guarding the courtyard gate alone and became very nervous. Not long after his companions left, a figure suddenly flashed past the catalpa tree outside the courtyard gate.
"Who?! Stop!"
The short man jumped up and chased after him.
"It's strange. I clearly saw a black shadow flashing past just now, but why did it suddenly disappear again? Could it be that I was dazzled?"
The short man did not dare to pursue him far. After crossing the catalpa tree, he turned back and continued guarding the courtyard gate. Unexpectedly, the moment he left the courtyard gate, two men in black slipped into Wang Teng's courtyard.
One of the two men in black walking in the courtyard paused and said almost inaudibly:
"It seems that the guards guarding the door will have to be replaced tomorrow."
With that said, he opened the door to the main room.
An old man in a coma was lying on the bed in the room.
There is a medicine stove that is still burning next to it.
When the man in black who spoke passed by, he did not pause. Instead, he walked around the big bed and moved behind the screen. Just as he was making a hand gesture with his hands, a sudden gust of palm wind came from the roof!
"careful!"
Fu Shiyi swung his black robe, grabbed the man in black in front of him and dragged him back, narrowly avoiding it!
"Bang!"
The screen that was hit instantly turned into powder.
An old man with a hunchback jumped down from the eaves, blocking the way of Fu Shiyi and the others, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Miss, you can't enter this door."
Obviously, the people who sneaked into Wang Tengyuan were Fu Shiyi and Miss Ye.
Miss Ye was surprised and happy when she saw the hunchbacked old man: "Uncle Min, you... you are actually still alive? Weren't you shot down by the Lord of Tianyue City into the Nine Heavens Abyss during the Battle of Somu? Why? meeting......."
Uncle Min sighed: "Miss, many things are not what you see in your eyes. Your task is to manage everything in the city. Don't interfere with other things. It's late at night, so please go back. "
Miss Ye recovered from the shock. After a while, she said, "Uncle Min, I don't care what you and the great doctor have planned. Tonight, I must see my father in person!"
After finishing her words, she quickly met Uncle Min.
Fu Shiyi saw that the two men were already making moves. He thought that the great doctor would be back soon, which would cause complications. With a flick of the green vine in his hand, he tied up the hunchbacked old man and used the fragrant powder made from the Ecstasy to bind him. With his nose raised, the old man fainted instantly.
Fu Shiyi's movements were smooth and smooth, making Miss Ye secretly vigilant, not knowing whether what she was causing was a blessing or a disaster.
"Miss Ye, don't worry, he will wake up after three hours of sleep. Time is running out, so please do it quickly."
There is also a secret room behind the screen.
Fu Shiyi carefully watched Miss Ye's hand gestures, which were different from those used by the great doctor to open his private treasury.
"Crunch!"
The stone door opened, revealing a stone room that was larger than the main room. On the stone bed in the center of the room, there was an old man tied up with colorful flowers. His appearance was exactly the same as the one lying on the bed outside.
Obviously the one outside is just a stand-in.
The difference is that this old man has countless thin tubes inserted into his body, which are dripping blood into the wooden barrels placed at the four corners of the stone bed.
"Father!"
Miss Ye almost fainted when she saw this scene.
Fu Shiyi looked at the bucket that was already filled with a lot of blood, and then looked at the withered old man on the stone bed. He suddenly remembered the name of the spiritual grass that the great doctor had taken away from the secret room of the warehouse.
"Soul-stealing grass! Such a thing actually exists!"
Miss Ye originally wanted to remove the iron chains from her father's body, but when she heard this, she was shocked and looked at Fu Shi in disbelief: "Miss Fu, you mean... the great doctor took away the Was the soul grass used on my father?"
Fu Shiyi took a few steps forward, sniffed the scent of the medicine remaining in the air, and nodded.
Soul-stealing grass.
As the name suggests, it can make the person who takes it immortal.
However, the body is not destroyed.
It is said that the soul will fall into the purgatory of the Nine Heavens Fire and will not be able to escape forever.
"Qin Mufeng!!"
Miss Ye struck the stone bench with her palm, and her beautiful face became twisted and hideous because of anger. Obviously how much she trusted the great doctor, she was so angry at this moment.
After Fu Shiyi stepped forward to check the old city lord's physical condition, Miss Ye had calmed down, but her face was frighteningly cold:
"Miss Fu, do you have any remedy?"
"What are you doing!"
Just as Fu Shiyi was thinking about it, a sound of anger came from behind them, but the great doctor who sensed something bad turned back midway.
Miss Ye suddenly turned around: "What are you doing? I should be the one to ask you this question."
"Qin Mufeng, I think back then, you were just a low-income man who sold jokes for people's amusement in Tianyue City. It was my father who fished you out of that dirty place, and regardless of the objections of many elders in the city, he trained and supported you step by step. A great doctor that everyone respects!"
"But what about you! This is how you repay your benefactor!!"
Miss Ye pointed at the old city lord on the stone bed, tears streaming down her face: "When my father was seriously ill, his last words were to ask me to listen to you, and to be filial to you just like I was to him. If he knew. ..."
Speaking of this, Miss Ye was already crying.
The great doctor trembled. He didn't expect the old city lord to leave these words. He looked at the old city lord who had no human form on the stone bed and closed his eyes in pain.
At this time, the hunchbacked old man who had taken the great doctor's antidote also woke up and entered the secret room.
