When Chen Ci heard this, his expression turned gloomy, and he murmured: "Re-cultivate the San Gong, re-cultivate the San Gong. I want to cure the snake venom in order to regain my cultivation and prevent those ambitious little people from continuing to embezzle our Fanhong Escort Bureau."

The industry, and now the way to detoxify it is to ask me to give up my cultivation. It’s really God’s will.”

"Cough~"

After Chen Ci finished speaking, a trace of blood coughed up from the corner of his mouth and slid down the corner of his mouth. His already sluggish expression became even weaker, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Is your condition getting worse again?"

Chen Ling, who had changed into blue clothes, quickly supported Chen Ci, with a look of worry on his picturesque face.

"Don't worry, Ling'er. Daddy is fine." Chen Ci wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. After being silent for a long time, he asked the Taoist Taoist with some reluctance:

"Is my disease really incurable?"

Taoist Shi Ming sighed slightly, tore off his old monk's robe, and said in a deep voice: "This little friend Xiao is right. After being reminded by the little friend, I remembered that Master once talked about this blue-ringed red snake, but it was still young at the time.

Some of the memories are blurred, but I can still remember a few things. Considering Brother Chen's current situation, if he wants to completely remove the snake venom, the only way to go is to practice martial arts."

When Chen Ci heard this, he completely gave up all hope in his heart, and said to Chen Ling, who looked worried beside him: "Ling'er, take Mr. Xiao to get some food. You can also eat some by the way, so as not to starve your body."

"Well, dad, you have to take care of yourself, Ling'er will find more spiritual herbs for you." Chen Ling looked at his father's haggard body, tears welling up in his beautiful eyes.

Chen Ci fondly touched Chen Ling's head and said softly: "Silly boy, you don't need to worry about daddy. Your safety is what I, as a father, value most."

After a cup of tea, Chen Ling took Xiao Yueming to the side hall. There were several exquisite side dishes and a pot of wine on a small wooden table. Because it was late at night, it seemed a bit deserted. Chen Ling personally served

After Xiao Yueming poured tea, he said apologetically:

"Except for some disciples, everyone in the Fanhong Escort Bureau has left, so it seems a little deserted. It's getting late today, and my father is physically inconvenient, so we can only entertain Brother Xiao like this. I hope Brother Xiao won't be surprised.

Ling'er will use tea instead of wine to toast Brother Xiao."

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup

Drink it all in one gulp.

Xiao Yueming looked at Chen Ling who was forcing a smile and couldn't help but shook his head: "Miss Chen, I'm very sorry about the Chen family leader, but birth, old age, illness and death are laws that no one can escape, so you have to be more open-minded.

"What Brother Xiao said is true, Ling'er will bear it in mind." Chen Ling lowered his head and said silently.

Looking at Chen Ling who had been so devastated by life, Xiao Yueming felt that he had the responsibility to serve as a temporary life mentor.

"Follow me." After Xiao Yueming said this, he grabbed the wine bottle on the table, stood up and walked out the door. Chen Ling was a little confused, but he could only follow Xiao Yueming.

Standing in the yard, what comes into view is a pond with beautiful green lotus leaves planted in it. The bright moonlight covers the water of the pond, creating faint ripples. The entire pond seems to be covered with a layer of darkness.

The mysterious veil is looming in the moonlight.

Looking at such an intoxicating night scene in front of him, Xiao Yueming nodded with satisfaction and asked Chen Ling who was standing beside him: "Miss Chen, is the roof of your house still strong?"

Xiao Yueming pointed to the roof behind him.

"The roof? It should be strong." Chen Ling said cutely, but Xiao Yueming asked why.

As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, she felt her arm being grabbed by someone, and a gust of cool wind blew across her face. She screamed in surprise, and in a blink of an eye, she was standing on the roof, with tiles under her feet. Chen Ling clapped her hands.

Pat your chest.

"Miss Chen, look at the night scene on this rooftop."

Chen Ling did not make a sound, but stared blankly at the night scene in the distance. The streets were shrouded in black, making it difficult to see clearly. The only thing that could be seen was the lights of the houses, like bright lights in the darkness, attracting those who deserved it.

The heart of a prodigal son returning home without happiness.

"Ever since my father became ill, I am no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery."

Chen Ling stood on the roof, the breeze blowing her black hair, slowly fluttering in the night sky.

Xiao Yueming took Chen Ling and sat on the eaves. It was close to the street outside the house, with the wall at its feet. Looking at the hazy mountains in the distance, she couldn't help but think of Chen Ling's blood-stained appearance among the wolves. Xiao Yueming looked at Quiet Now.

The woman sitting next to him, with the cold moonlight shining on her beautiful face, made him unable to help but say:

"Tell me your story."

Chen Ling heard this

, looked at Xiao Yueming, and after being silent for a long time, her red lips slightly opened: "Actually, the reason why I was so anxious to find the elixir for my father was because the escort trip was lost a month ago.

"Lost a escort?" Xiao Yueming asked.

"Yes, that escort was made of porcelain from Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. The escort was worth five hundred thousand taels of silver. At that time, Fanhong Escort Agency had not received any decent orders for half a year due to the squeeze from Yuanshi Escort Agency. Adding me

My father is seriously ill and his heart is broken, so he urgently needs a big order to stabilize his heart."

"What people didn't expect was that on the way to Liuzhong, they were robbed by six bandits from Mangshan. Not only did they lose 500,000 taels of silver, but none of the disciples responsible for escorting them returned alive.

"Six bandits in Mangshan?" Xiao Yueming thought of the six corpses who died tragically on the official road. After thinking about it for a while, he motioned for Chen Ling to continue.

"After the escort silver was lost, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce gave us a month's deadline to either find the lost porcelain or pay 500,000 taels of silver. But now, Fanhong Escort Bureau and his father's old friends have helped us, plus

It’s only two hundred thousand taels together.”

"The most disgusting thing is Yuancheng. He said that he had secretly imprisoned the six Mangshan bandits, and the porcelain was also in his hands. As long as I agreed to marry him, the porcelain would be regarded as an apology. Now I am one month away.

There are only five days left, I really don’t know what to do."

When Chen Ling said this, his voice was choked and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Xiao Yueming frowned slightly, with a doubtful look on his face: "You said that Yuancheng has hidden the six bandits of Mangshan. Do you know the characteristics of the six bandits of Mangshan?"

After Chen Ling thought for a moment, he replied: "These six people don't seem to have any distinctive features. If I have to say, Kuizi, the fourth child, has six fingers, because this man was a person who specialized in collecting stolen goods before he went to the mountains to become a bandit."

He was good at opening locks, so the gang nicknamed him Six Finger Locksmith."

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong, have you seen these six Mangshan bandits before?"

Xiao Yueming stirred up a storm in his heart, turned around and looked at Chen Ling solemnly, his tone was a little cold: "I have seen it, but it was six corpses, just this morning, on the official road about sixty miles away."

"What! The Six Bandits of Mangshan are already dead?!"
