At one hour, the three of them left Chang'an Temple and returned to the Luoyang Inn in the city.
Liu Qi and Liu An have been guarding the door of the backyard.
Nowadays, the backyard of Luoyang Inn is filled with the owner’s belongings, and the guest room that was temporarily used as a study room contains important letters. Of course, some unrelated people cannot be allowed to enter the backyard, not even the waiter in the inn. No matter what, I'm afraid that if I fail to keep an eye on it for a while, my master's important event will be ruined.
As soon as he saw his master coming back, Liu Qi quickly stepped forward and reported to Xie Xi: "Master, Guard Mu Qing has returned. He said he has something important to report to the master."
Hearing this, Xie Xi nodded slightly, raised his eyes and looked around. He didn't see Mu Qing, so he asked, "Where is Mu Qing?"
Liu An, who was standing aside, was the first to answer: "To tell you my master, Guard Mu Qing was slightly injured and he went back to the room to deal with the injury."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "creak" coming from the front, which was the sound of the door being opened.
Mu Qing strode out quickly, holding the sword in both hands and leaning slightly: "My master has told me to do what I have done, and I have already done it."
"Um."
Xie Xi responded, took a half step back, looked Mu Qing up and down, and noticed that Mu Qing's right arm seemed a little stiff, Xie Xi frowned, "Come in with me first."
After saying that, Xie Xi walked forward first.
Knowing that they were going to discuss important matters again, Lu Xiaoxiao stood there, wondering whether to follow or not.
[Guard Mu Qing wants to discuss important matters with His Highness, so I won’t go over and get involved, right? Anyway, I don’t understand, otherwise...]
"lady."
"???"
【Huh? Didn't His Highness leave just now? 】
Seeing Xie Xi who had returned to him, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help showing a shocked look for a moment. His almond-shaped eyes widened even more, and he asked curiously: "Husband, why are you still here?"
Originally, Xie Xi had no intention of asking Lu Xiaoxiao to go to the study room to discuss matters, but after hearing her thoughts, Xie Xi stopped again and walked back.
Now that he had openly confessed the purpose of his trip to Lu Xiaoxiao, it wouldn't hurt to bring Lu Xiaoxiao with him to discuss matters.
"Of course I want to take my wife into the study with me."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Qi and Liu An who were present were both stunned when they heard this.
When they discussed matters before, the master did not let his wife participate in it. Why did he suddenly change his mind now?
The Liu brothers didn't understand.
Liu Qi couldn't help but say: "Master, this..." Is there something wrong?
Xie Xi's eyes narrowed.
Before Liu Qi finished speaking, Liu An noticed his master's gaze and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth: "Master will do what you want, just listen."
Liu Qi: "..."
Lu Xiaoxiao: "..."
Mu Qing also didn't know why his master brought Lu Fengyi with him. It was just his master's decision and Mu Qing would never raise any objection.
Meng Huaijun knew the reason, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Let's go, ma'am."
Xie Xi reached out and took Lu Xiaoxiao's hand as they walked toward the study.
Mu Qing followed silently.
Meng Huaijun raised his hand and patted Liu Qi's shoulder, saying meaningfully: "My master is always smart and will definitely not make any irrational decisions."
This is a reminder.
After all, we are both working for His Highness, so we should get along well with each other.
After saying that, Meng Huaijun also quickly followed.
Liu An took back his hand and said helplessly: "Don't worry, Madam will not harm the master."
Liu Qi said aggrievedly: "I'm just afraid that the master will indulge in beauty."
Liu An: ...It’s a joke, how could someone like his master, who does big things, be addicted to women?
Obviously he is the younger brother, but he has to worry about his brother.
Liu An sighed, life is not easy.
At this time, in the study room.
Xie Xi sat at the desk, and Lu Xiaoxiao sat next to him.
Mu Qing and Meng Huaijun were sitting below them.
"Mu Qing, how is your injury?"
Before Mu Qing could speak, Xie Xi asked about his injuries.
Hearing this, Mu Qing stood up and replied: "To tell you my master, my subordinate's injury is not serious. He has been given medicine. Master, there is no need to worry."
"However, when my subordinates went out this time, they have already tracked where Mr. Wei is hiding."
"oh?"
Xie Xi was relieved that Mu Qing was fine. He raised his eyebrows slightly and took over his words: "Tell me and listen."
"It turns out they were hiding in Hualiu Lane."
Mu Qing's face was slightly pale, and he reported the previous situation slowly: "In addition to Mr. Wei, there is also Mr. Zhao."
"In addition, the eldest daughter of the Li family who was taken away, Li Youbin's bride, and Su Lian'er are also there."
At that time, Mu Qing was lucky enough to track Zhao Wuqian, hiding in the dark, and followed Zhao Wuqian back to Hualiu Lane.
After figuring out the situation, Mu Qing thought about rushing back to Luoyang Inn and telling his master the news.
But what Mu Qing didn't expect was that as soon as he left Hualiu Lane, he saw Shi Weian's escort team actually able to find that place.
Mu Qing remembered that his master wanted to win over Mr. Wei, so Mu Qing turned back to inform Wei Jianqing, but his speed was still not fast enough. As soon as he finished speaking to Wei Jianqing, Shi Weian's guards rushed up... …
Although Mu Qing's martial arts is very good, after all, it is difficult for him to fight with two fists. There are too many people in the escort team, and he and Wei Jianqing are the only ones who know martial arts, and they have to protect Zhao Wuqian who doesn't know martial arts. , and two weak female "hostages".
When covering the departure of Wei Jianqing and his party, Mu Qing was shot by an arrow. It was Wei Jianqing who turned around and pulled him, so that they could escape from the pursuit of the escort.
Afterwards, Mu Qing came back injured after learning where Wei Jianqing and the others would hide next.
Meng Huaijun said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect Master Shi to move so quickly."
"But Guard Mu Qing has gained a lot from this trip. In this way, the possibility of wooing Wei Jianqing will be greater..."
Xie Xi didn't answer, he subconsciously glanced at Mu Qing's right arm.
Suddenly, he noticed the slightly purple lips of the guard Mu Qing, which looked like he had been poisoned. trip!"
"Yes, Master."
Xie Shiba didn't show up, so he just responded.
Meng Huaijun was puzzled and looked at Xie Xi with worried eyes: "But what is wrong with the young master?"
Xie Xi: "It's not me."
"That……"
"Guard Mu Qing!"
As soon as Meng Huaijun opened his mouth, he saw Mu Qing, the guard standing nearby, spit out a mouthful of black blood and fainted on the ground, "Mu Qing, guard!?"
"He was hit by an arrow earlier, and the arrow must have been poisonous!"
Seeing the black blood spilled on the ground, Xie Xi stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Master Huaijun, please take Mu Qing back to his room first."
"good."
Meng Huaijun picked up Mu Qing and strode out of the room.
Lu Xiaoxiao was startled. After she realized what she was doing, she quickly got up and followed him.
After taking two steps, Lu Xiaoxiao remembered that His Highness was still standing where he was.
Lu Xiaoxiao stopped and walked back quickly, pulling Xie Xi along with him, and said hurriedly: "Quick, husband, go over first and see how Guard Mu Qing is doing."
"good."
…
The doctor came quickly.
He is still the doctor from the Huichun Hall, but he is not the old doctor who was invited to Chang'an Temple on the 18th.
"The poison this young master has been poisoned is extremely overbearing. There is only one hour left before the poison is released. You should prepare for the funeral!"
"He will die in an hour!?"
Liu Qi couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is this possible? Doctor, you must save him!"
Xie Xi's face darkened. If the doctor couldn't do anything, then he would have to go to Li Mansion to ask Shi Weian for the antidote.
"It's not that I don't want to save him, but..."
The doctor at Huichun Hall shook his head and sighed softly: "I really can't save him."
"Young master, you don't know. This poison is called 'King of Hell's Drunkenness'. It is said that the King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch. Who can keep you until the fifth watch? There is no cure for this poison."
"I'm not good at medical skills, so I'm going to leave now."
After saying that, the doctor looked helpless. He picked up the medicine box and was about to leave.
"Wait, doctor, how about you save me again?"
Liu Qi refused to give up and wanted to stop the doctor.
The doctor pushed him away with a speechless expression: "There is no cure for this poison. How do you want me to save it?"
Liu Qi: "..."
"Okay, Liu Qi, send the doctor away."
When the master spoke, Liu Qi could only reluctantly send the doctor back to the spring hall and leave.
Qi An looked at the doctor's leaving figure and said with a worried expression: "Master, the doctor just said that there is no cure for this poison, then..."
After a pause, Qi An continued: "Master, where did Guard Mu Qing get poisoned? I will go out to find the antidote right now!"
The Liu brothers only knew that guard Mu Qing had been poisoned. Neither of them knew anything about what mission Mu Qing went out to perform.
Xie Xi looked cold and said nothing for a moment.
Xie Xi once heard about the poison "King of Hell Drunk" from the mouth of Ling You, the master of the Divine Doctor Valley.
"The King of Hell's Drunkenness" was created by Lingyou's uncle. It is extremely poisonous. People who are poisoned by this poison can only live for three hours. After three hours, they will die from the poison.
Just as the doctor from Hui Chun Tang said just now, there is no antidote for "the drunkenness of the king of hell".
After Lingyou's uncle developed the "King of Hell's Drunk", he was soon chased by his enemies and fell off a cliff to his death. Until his death, he failed to develop the antidote to "The King of Hell's Drunk".
Even Lingyou had no way to study the ingredients of the antidote. However, since the death of Lingyou's uncle, the poison "King of Hell" has been hidden in the Valley of Divine Doctors.
I don’t know how Shi Weian got the “Drunken King of Hell”.
Xie Xi took a deep breath, put away the thoughts in his eyes, and then said: "You all go out first, Madam stays."
Liu An and Meng Huaijun looked at each other and both responded: "Yes, Master."
"Yes, sir."
The two left together.
Mu Qing, Xie Xi and Lu Xiaoxiao were the only ones left in the room who were lying unconscious on the couch.
Lu Xiaoxiao has been very quiet since entering Mu Qing's room.
Xie Xi didn't hear her thoughts. Now, when he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao, he realized that she seemed to be in a daze?
Maybe Lu Xiaoxiao was not in a daze.
Xie Xi instantly thought of the "system" she had mentioned in her mind before.
"lady."
Xie Xi called softly.
"Um?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao responded subconsciously, reluctantly put his thoughts back, raised his round apricot eyes, and looked straight at Xie Xi: "Husband, please wait a moment."
[Wait a little longer, and I will have the antidote to relieve the drunkenness of Hell in Guard Mu Qing's body. 】
Xie Xi originally wanted to ask clearly, but now he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's inner voice and stopped talking.
However, Xie Xi also breathed a sigh of relief because of Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
Just now, Lu Xiaoxiao was busy bargaining with Jiujiu.
Lu Xiaoxiao heard clearly what the doctor from Huichun Hall said. There was no antidote for "The King of Hell's Drunkness", but Jiujiu told her that a new detoxifying pill that could cure all poisons was recently launched in the Points Mall. It costs two hundred points. One pill cannot cure the cold poison.
Only can't detoxify cold poison?
Isn't that just a deliberate act of targeting?
Lu Xiaoxiao was so angry that he threatened to complain to the system.
Jiujiu was shocked and turned pale. She persuaded the host in a good tone and managed to get rid of the crisis of being complained.
Then, after Lu Xiaoxiao's irrational bargaining, the detoxification pill that originally cost two hundred points now only costs one hundred points to redeem.
Jiujiu was so angry that he shut himself up. After deducting a hundred points from his host, he quickly logged off.
Lu Xiaoxiao successfully redeemed an antidote pill.
The detoxification pill was put into a small porcelain bottle. Lu Xiaoxiao handed the small porcelain bottle to Xie Xi: "Husband, this contains the detoxification pill. If you believe me, why don't you let Guard Mu Qing try it?"
[It took a lot of effort to save more than 100 points. Originally, I was thinking of exchanging the antidote for the cold poison for His Highness, but now it’s better. After exchanging this antidote pill, I only have 38 points left now. I have accumulated points, and I don’t know when His Highness will no longer bear the poisonous effects of cold poison...]
Lu Xiaoxin couldn't help but sigh, and kept comforting himself: [That's all, think about it carefully, spending a hundred points to save the life of Guard Mu Qing, doesn't it seem like a loss? 】
[As for points, it seems that we still need to end Jiangnan and his party as soon as possible and complete the mission to unlock the next mission! 】
"I believe you."
If he were asked to choose, he would choose to save Mu Qing first.
As for the cold poison in his body, he can wait.
Xie Xi took the small porcelain bottle without hesitation, opened the lid, and poured out an antidote pill inside, which still smelled of medicinal materials.
Just smelling it gave him a sense of sanity.
After stuffing the detoxification pill into Mu Qing's mouth, Xie Xi looked back at Lu Xiaoxiao: "Madam, I wonder when the detoxification pill will take effect?"
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "It should take a quarter of an hour?"
[With the antidote pill, Guard Mu Qing’s life is now saved. 】
【but……】
【Huh? I just seemed to notice Mu Qing's fingers moving? 】
Xie Xi lowered his eyes and stared at Mu Qing.
The next moment, Mu Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
Lu Xiaoxiao was shocked:! ! !
【Miracle medicine! Unexpectedly, the antidote pill was so effective, and within a quarter of an hour, Guard Mu Qing woke up! 】
[It seems like 100 points are worth spending? 】
Mu Qing turned his head, looked at his master, and then at Lu Xiaoxiao beside him.
Mu Qing's usually unwavering eyes were inexplicably confused.
Why could Lu Fengyi still hear her talking without opening her mouth?
