"Poisoned?" Di Chu couldn't wait to ask: "What kind of poison is it?"
The veterinarian timidly shook his head. He just touched Di Chu's eyes and quickly lowered his head, hesitatingly saying: "Sir... little... little... I don't..."
have no idea......"
"What did you say?" Di Chu was shocked, and then became angry: "You don't know? You don't even know, how dare you claim that you were poisoned?"
The veterinarian felt aggrieved and had to defend himself: "Sir, I can't tell what the poison is, but judging from the various symptoms, it is indeed poisoned! And the poisoning is deep, I don't know.
Can you survive until noon tomorrow..."
"Shut up, you quack!" Di Chu glared at the veterinarian, who immediately did not dare to say anything more.
After hearing what the veterinarian said, Pu Junxiong's expression showed a look of astonishment. He hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the veterinarian aside, and asked in a low voice: "You mean, the lion is hopeless?"
The veterinarian did not dare to finish his words and said: "Sir, if you know what the poison is and can find the antidote immediately, there may be a chance! But right now, I'm afraid..."
The veterinarian did not dare to say any more. In his opinion, this lioness should be a god and could not be saved.
Pu Junxiong gently waved his hand to let the veterinarian leave, but he stood there and fell into deep thought...
Di Chu locked the animal cage, turned around and found Pu Junxiong, and said: "Secretary Pu, without further ado, let's set out quickly. We will definitely find a better veterinarian in the capital!"
But Pu Junxiong seemed not to hear him. Di Chu was a little confused, so he pushed him gently and called: "Pu Si Shi? I'm talking to you, did you hear..."
Suddenly, Pu Junxiong turned around fiercely and stared at Di Chu with extremely serious eyes: "Old Di, let me tell you something, don't be in a hurry..."
"What's the matter?" Di Chu was confused and said hurriedly: "You tell me, I'm not in a hurry..."
Pu Junxiong immediately stretched out his neck, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered a few words into Di Chu's ear.
Di Chu was stunned after hearing this and said in surprise: "What did you say? Let Hang Baiqiu and Chai Yan send the lioness back?"
Di Chu didn't give Pu Junxiong a chance to interrupt and asked: "We worked hard to get the lion back, but you asked me..."
"...Lao Di, please keep your voice down, don't let them hear you!"
Pu Sishi quickly stopped Di Chu's words, then stretched his neck to find where Hang Baiqiu and Chai Yan were, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were far away from here.
Di Chu said angrily: "No! I don't agree with what you said!"
Pu Junxiong advised: "Old Di, please listen to what is said first and then express your position, okay?"
Di Chu said nothing, looking at Pu Junxiong and waiting for him to give his reason.
Pu Junxiong pulled Di Chu further away before saying: "Old Di, think about it, if it is true as the veterinarian said, the lioness will not survive tomorrow noon, then what we will send back to the capital will be two dead lions? Your Majesty and
If the prince is blamed, not only will we have no merit, but we will also be punished, and the gain outweighs the loss..."
Di Chu frowned and said, "You mean to leave this mess in the hands of Hang Baiqiu and Chai Yan..."
"Exactly!" Pu Junxiong nodded and smiled slyly, and said: "Old Di, we will not lose anything by doing this... If the lioness dies, we can put the responsibility on them. If the lioness dies,
He’s not dead, our contribution is only a little less, but it’s better than the lioness dying in the hands of our two brothers, right?”
Di Chu thought about it silently and asked, "What about us? You asked Hang Baiqiu and Chai Yan to transport the lioness back to Beijing, where should we go?"
"Of course we are going back to Changyuan County! With so many brothers dead, we shouldn't arrest the members of the dark sect, and we shouldn't arrest Liu Tong who drugged us, okay?"
Pu Junxiong spoke with pride. In his opinion, this was a perfect excuse. So many of their subordinates had died and they had to take revenge. I believe that no one would give up.
"Well..." Di Chu nodded, and after thinking about it, he said: "Yes, you are right! Liu Tong is such a bastard, I have to go back to settle the score with him!"
Pu Junxiong immediately said: "Okay, it's settled, I'll go tell Hang Baiqiu..."
After that, Pu Junxiong was about to walk away, but Di Chu suddenly stopped him again: "What about Master Qingfeng? What should we do with them?"
Pu Junxiong thought for a moment and said: "Qingfeng Lao Dao is so powerful, why not take him back to Changyuan County with us? Since he dared to kill people from the dark sect, he might have been wronged. If we take him back, he might become a
Let’s help together!”
"That makes sense!" Di Chu agreed.
The two discussed some details and then took action separately.
Pu Junxiong went to Hang Baiqiu to explain the matter of transporting the lioness back to Beijing, while Di Chu went to inform Taoist Qingfeng that he was returning to Yuanyuan County.
Half an hour later, the two groups of people set off in opposite directions at the same time.
The soldiers who came to the rescue were divided into two groups. One group followed Hang Baiqiu and Chai Yan to escort the lioness back to Beijing, accompanied by the bodies of the captured Dark Cult members and the sacrificed Wudesi colleagues.
The other group, led by Di Chu and Pu Junxiong, marched towards Changyuan County.
As for the injured Xu Youde, he was escorted by Sun Xingba. Although Sun Xingba was reluctant, he could not disobey the order, so he could only obey it obediently.
After setting off, Hang Baiqiu asked Chai Yan in a low voice: "You know clearly that they want us to take the blame, why do you still agree?"
Chai Yan smiled calmly, glanced at her, and asked, "Sir Hang, are you so sure that we will take the blame?"
Hang Baiqiu was slightly excited and said: "It's not like I didn't hear what the veterinarian said. You also saw that lioness. She couldn't even finish feeding the chickens. She was listless all day and would lie down. It's really possible that she could survive
But tomorrow at noon!"
Hang Baiqiu was very unwilling and continued: "I don't care about credit or anything, but I'm not happy to take the blame for them both!"
Chai Yan then said: "Don't worry, with me here, how can it be so easy to take the blame?"
Hang Baiqiu was stunned and asked quickly: "What are you going to do?"
"What's the rush? You'll find out later, hehe!" Chai Yan smiled mysteriously.
Seeing that Chai Yan was confident, Hang Baiqiu became less worried.
When it got dark, Hang Baiqiu, Chai Yan and his party stayed in the post station, while the accompanying soldiers camped nearby.
Just after dinner, Hang Baiqiu pulled Chai Yan to the animal cage, pointed and said: "Please think of a solution quickly, the lioness hasn't eaten for a whole day..."
In the animal cage, a freshly killed live chicken was placed in front of the lioness' mouth, but the lioness did not touch it and showed no interest at all.
Chai Yan became anxious when he saw this, and immediately shouted in his heart: "Shangguan Peining, are you done?"
