The first thousand three hundred and forty-three chapters do not fall behind
"Why?"
"no."
Li Qi and Liu Yunxi said simultaneously.
But as soon as the words came out, the two of them looked at each other again.
With a smile in Guai Jiulang's eyes, he first looked at Liu Yunxi, and then sighed: "Shi Niang, you brought this person, and I didn't want to save him. It was you who forced me to do it, and now I agree."
You guys, I have also told you the method of rescue, but we are the only two who can find the antidote, so we two must go to one. You will not let me go to the old forest in the mountains to take risks, right?
"
Although these words were addressed to Liu Yunxi, they were actually the answer to Li Qi's "why" question.
What he said makes sense. He and Liu Yunxi are the only ones who know the Blood-Sealing Throat Tree. If they can find the Blood-Sealing Throat Tree, they can follow the clues to find the antidote. With them here, many detours can be avoided.
Knowing that Zhao Jingyan only had seven days to live, he and Liu Yunxi had to go alone.
Liu Yunxi hurriedly said: "Master, I definitely didn't mean this. I was the one who caused this. I don't dare to make Master tired from running around. I just don't want to go with this person who doesn't keep his word."
Wei Jiulang chuckled and said: "I don't force you to do this as a teacher. You can be with anyone you like. I am just afraid that you and others will go there. If the antidote is not found, some people will be suspicious and think that we are masters and disciples."
If we join forces to deceive him, our teacher's family will be completely ruined!"
It has to be said that Gui Jiulang's ability to figure out people's psychology is probably on par with Li Qi's, and his words hit Li Qi's thoughts exactly.
Whether the antidote can be found is directly related to Zhao Jingyan's life. If he can't find it, Zhao Jingyan will definitely die. Li Qi really doesn't trust others to do it. He will definitely find it himself. And if you ask him to wait here, that's really serious.
killed him.
Originally, he had no idea. He had to go, but when he heard that Gui Jiulang asked him and Liu Yunxi to go, he became a little hesitant again. He couldn't worry about Zhao Jingyan. This Gui Jiulang was mysterious. God knows who he was.
The key to his peace of mind was that the story the drunkard told him was still echoing in his ears. He was afraid that the tragedy of the drunkard would happen to him again.
To go or not to go?
Li Qi was struggling in his heart at this time. If he went, he would be worried about Zhao Jingyan. If he didn't go, he would be even more worried.
Liu Yunxi hummed: "What Master said is very reasonable. The heart of a villain is always suspicious."
Guai Jiulang nodded and sighed: "It's best if you can understand. It doesn't matter if you live a long life as a teacher, but there is a mother and son out there. How can you not afford to offend some people!"
The two masters and disciples said something to each other, which made Li Qishi even more confused. He could tell that Kai Jiulang was deliberately irritating him, but the more Kai Jiulang said this, the more worried he became.
Gui Jiulang looked at Li Qi's troubled face, but he didn't hide it at all. He laughed, smiling very proudly.
Li Qi glanced at Wei Jiulang. This old fox was really annoying. Suddenly, he turned his eyes and thought about it. He said with a smile: "I think Shiniang and I are going together. In terms of manpower, they are still a little inferior."
, Actually, there is one person among us who can also help me a lot."
"who?"
Gui Jiulang's face tightened, as if he had guessed the person he was talking about.
"That's Mr. Ling." Li Qi said with a smile.
"no."
When Gui Jiulang heard that Li Qi asked Shen Wen to accompany him, he didn't understand what Li Qi's idea was and said: "My son has never been to the mountains. If you let him go, wouldn't you be harming him? I will never agree."
"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Brother Wei Jiu, you must have taught Xiaowen a lot of medical skills, and medicinal materials are the basis of medical skills. It is impossible for you not to teach him, so you will definitely take him up the mountain."
Wei Jiulang said: "Even so, it is because I am here. Will you hand over your son to a villain who has never been masked?"
"Whether you are a villain or not, I won't do this." Li Qi shook his head, but immediately changed the subject and said, "But you have no reason not to believe in the good apprentice you have trained!" As he said that, he turned to Liu Yunxi again.
: "Shi Niang, do you think so?"
Liu Yunxi snorted coldly: "Don't talk to me."
Sweating! Forgot that we are still in the cold war! Li Qi smiled awkwardly.
Gui Jiulang said firmly: "This old man will never agree."
Li Qi opened his hands and said: "Why? Didn't you just listen to what Xiao Wen said? He felt that it was useless to study medicine because no one could let him heal. This troubled him very much. In this case, why not let him understand that doctors
In fact, it is a very sacred profession.
Besides, Xiao Wen is not a small person. When you are alive, he can ensure that he has enough food and clothing, but if you have any shortcomings, what should he do? If he helps me today, I will definitely help him tomorrow.
Vice versa. Putting everything aside, I think you should let Xiao Wen go out and see the world, unless --- you want Xiao Wen to have no future."
This last sentence made Kaikuro stunned for a moment, and then he fell into deep thought again.
You make it difficult for me, and I won't make it easy for you. The corner of Li Qi's mouth slightly raised a narrowing arc.
The two men exchanged words and tried their best, but they were still fighting to the bitter end.
Guai Jiulang thought for a long time and said: "I never like to force anyone, even my own son. If Wen'er is willing to go with you, I will not object. If Wen'er is not willing, no one can force him.
If you dare, then give it a try."
"It's a deal," Li Qi said confidently.
Soon, both Shen Wen and his son came to the big house. This was not his fault but Jiulang's son. He had to ask for Yin's consent. This was the respect between husband and wife.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Xiao Wen, do you want to go out and play."
Shen Wen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Dad said it's very dangerous outside."
Ms. Yin couldn't help but look at Kaijiulang, who nodded gently, telling her not to worry.
Li Qidao: "You go with Uncle Li. If anyone dares to bully you, Uncle Li will immediately call a hundred and eighty people to beat him up."
Shen Wen listened happily and said: "Uncle Li, are you so powerful?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that Uncle Li has hundreds of thousands of soldiers."
"Wow---!"
Shen Wen looked at Li Qi with wide eyes.
Li Qi smiled again and said: "Let's not talk about these things for now. We men have to keep a low profile. Didn't you say before that studying medicine is useless? Now the sister in the room is in danger. Uncle Li hopes that you can help me and return the favor with me."
With your senior sister, we will go outside to find the antidote. Are you willing to help Uncle Li with this?"
"certainly---."
Shen Wen was young and energetic, but as soon as he said these words, he stopped abruptly and looked at Gui Jiulang with a pair of bright black eyes.
Kaijiulang smiled kindly and said, "If you want to go, just go with your senior sister."
Shen Wen was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "That---that---I want to help Uncle Li with this."
"His father."
Ms. Yin looked worried. Shen Wen had never left her side in all these years.
Gui Jiulang smiled and said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Wen'er is not young anymore. It's time to let him go out and have a look."
Mrs. Yin respected and believed in her husband very much. She was surprised that Jiulang had already decided, so she didn't say anything more. She took Shen Wen and told her: "Wen'er, you must listen to your senior sister and your Uncle Li when you go outside. But We can no longer be willful.”
Shen Wen nodded vigorously, extremely excited.
Mrs. Yin felt very happy when she saw her son so happy, and lovingly helped him tidy up his clothes.
Guai Jiulang said again: "Shi Niang, you should set off immediately. I estimate that if you go now and drive all night, you can arrive early tomorrow morning. You can directly enter the mountain. If you go tomorrow morning, you will have to spend the night there. , this is a wasted day.”
"yes."
With Shen Wen as a talisman, Li Qi felt completely at ease.
After a little preparation, they were ready to set off. Huo Nanxi, Hu Beiqing, Li Qi, Shen Wen, and Liu Yunxi totaled five people. As for Maqiao, Li Qi thought it would be better to leave one of his own here to look after Zhao Jingyan.
"Dad, mother, the baby is gone."
"Be careful all the way!"
It must be the hardest time for a mother to have her son go out. In addition, Shen Wen has never left her side. Naturally, Mrs. Yin felt reluctant to leave. She sent her son outside the mountains and forests before waving goodbye to her son.
Gui Jiulang put his arms around his wife and said, "Don't worry, Wen'er will be back in a few days. He's so old, I think we should let him go out to see the world. After all, we can't protect him forever."
Ms. Yin was also reasonable. She leaned her head slightly on Kai Jiulang's shoulder and said, "I understand what you are thinking. You are doing the right thing. We two elders cannot always protect Wen'er. It's not a bad thing to endure some hardships." , but I’ve never been separated from Wen’er, so it’s inevitable that I’ll feel a little uncomfortable for a while. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Gui Jiulang chuckled and said: "What two elders? I am the only one, and you are still very young."
Yin smiled and shook her head.
...
"Junior brother, put this on."
When the team was about to enter the miasma zone, Liu Yunxi took out a gas mask and handed it to Shen Wen.
Shen Wen asked curiously: "What is this?"
"This is called a gas mask, it's specially designed to prevent miasma."
"oh."
Shen Wen immediately took it, paused, and suddenly took out a small bottle from his arms, poured out a few pills, and said: "My father made these pills. If you hold them in your mouth, you won't be afraid of miasma."
"Yeah?"
Shen Wen nodded vigorously several times.
Li Qi immediately took one and threw it into his mouth, saying, "Thank you."
Shen Wen smiled happily. He was looking forward to having more friends, and Li Qi's small gesture made him feel very useful. After Liu Yunxi and the others took the pills, he immediately put on a gas mask. , but he was wearing a gas mask just out of curiosity and thought it was quite interesting.
Liu Yunxi brought out another cloak and said, "Junior brother, put it on to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes."
Shen Wen had seen the cloak before, and it was not surprising. He had no interest in it. He shook his head and said, "Senior sister, my father has been bathing me with potions since I was born. Mosquitoes will not bite me."
So awesome? Li Qi looked at Shen Wen in surprise, thinking about the secret recipe that Guai Jiulang wanted to come up with to keep Li Zhengxi away from the pain of mosquitoes!
After hearing this, Liu Yunxi did not force it. With her here, even if she was bitten by a mosquito, there would be no danger.
Since several of them were traveling lightly, and Shen Wen was also an expert in the jungle, he was as comfortable walking on flat ground in the mountains. Although he was not as good as Liu Yunxi, he was no worse than Huo Nanxi and Hu Beiqing. Li Qi was just a little behind, but in Huo
With the help of Nancy and Hu Beiqing, the group of people quickly passed through the forest.
"This is a humble job, sir."
As soon as Li Qi left the forest, several guards waiting outside came to greet him.
Li Qi hummed and said, "How is the situation in the city?"
One of the guards said: "After the bandits broke into the government office last night, they prepared to set fire to it, but before they could set it on fire, Magistrate Du led all the residents of the city to arrive and drove the bandits away, but in the end they allowed the bandits to escape from Nancheng.
"
Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief and frowned: "Have you found out who the other party is?"
"Now Magistrate Du is still investigating, and I don't know much about my position, but it seems to be related to the Langdong tribe. But Magistrate Du is now very worried about your safety."
"I understand." Li Qi took off his waist badge and handed it to him, saying, "You should go back to the city immediately and dispatch a hundred cavalry to rush here and wait for me in the mountains a hundred miles away in the south."
"As commanded."
"Oh, tell Magistrate Du that I am very safe now, but I'm afraid it will take a while before I can go back. Let him take some time to eat. By the way, has the drunkard come back?"
"Master Drunkard and Master Jade arrived this morning."
Li Qi pondered for a moment and suddenly raised his fingers. The guard immediately came over and Li Qi whispered a few words in his ear.
The guard immediately sang, then mounted his horse and left.
Shen Wen on the side saw that Li Qi was about to mobilize a hundred cavalry. He couldn't help but look at Li Qi with admiration and said: "Uncle Li, you were so majestic just now!"
"Really?" Li Qi laughed and said: "Low-key, low-key, let's hurry up and hurry up." (To be continued...)
