Chapter 16 His Name is Yun, His Words Burning Light
After the Xiao mother and daughter left the Ning Mansion, Li Yangzhou breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Ning Qingyan with twinkling eyes.
It was only at this moment that he truly believed that Ning Qingyan was different from before! She was no longer bewitched by the Xiao mother and daughter!!
"This mother and daughter are so shameless. I really want to teach them a lesson!" Yu Gui waved her clenched fists.
Ning Qingyan looked back and smiled: "This kind of thing can scare them to death with just his mouth, how can he be worthy of doing it with his hands?"
Yuzhu smiled and said to his sister: "That person named Xiao is a third-level martial artist after all. How can you fight with a second-level martial artist?"
"Hmph! What's wrong with the second level? I will surpass her one day!" Yu Gui was unconvinced.
Ning Qingyan smiled and nodded, agreeing very much with Yu Gui's words. "That's right! That Xiao Ruyi is supported by the resources of Xiao Mansion and Ning Mansion. Now she is only at the third level. Our Yu Gui's potential is much greater than hers."
"That's right!" Yu Gui felt very relaxed and happy.
Yuzhu also covered her lips and smiled.
Only Li Yangzhou twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely and glanced at Ning Qingyan without leaving any trace.
Merely third level? Their eldest lady must have forgotten that she is not even a martial artist. Alas!
"You go back and clean up first. I will go with Uncle Zhou to see grandpa." Ning Qingyan mentioned business matters.
After saying that, Ning Qingyan sighed in her heart. It was really difficult for her to see Ning Yan!
…
Once again, he arrived outside the Moon Gate of the remote courtyard. This time, Li Yangzhou did not block Ning Qingyan's path, but followed her.
"Miss, why don't I go see the old general first?" Li Yangzhou asked tentatively.
Ning Qingyan slowly shook her head, "No need, let's go in together."
Li Yangzhou sighed in his heart and nodded.
In the past, the eldest lady was always bewitched by the Xiao mother and daughter. She was afraid of meeting the old general and rarely came over.
Even when he came, he always showed resistance and ran away after just one look, as if the old general was some kind of cannibal.
Thinking of the past, Li Yangzhou's eyes suddenly became sharper.
"Uncle Zhou, have you decided where to move grandpa?" Ning Qingyan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Li Yangzhou's memories.
Li Yangzhou hurriedly said: "Let's stay in the main courtyard. There are few people in the mansion now, and they are all trustworthy people. No one will bother the old general."
"That's fine." Ning Qingyan nodded.
The two of them were talking and entered the simple courtyard. What they saw were three blue brick houses.
If compared with ordinary people, it would be reasonable.
But if compared with the general's mansion given by the emperor himself, it would be indescribably shabby.
Ning Qingyan walked into the room according to her memory and went directly to the wing on the right.
Before entering, the bitter smell of medicine wafted out.
Ning Qingyan frowned without leaving any trace, walked to the bed in a few steps, and saw the old man lying on the bed with his eyes open.
Just like the scenes she used to spy on using Yin Qi tricks, Ning Yan now does not have the majesty of a general, but is just an old man who is seriously ill and dying.
Although Ning Yan's eyes were open, they were cloudy and dull, and he had no feeling at all about Ning Qingyan's arrival.
"Old General, the eldest lady is here to see you." Li Yangzhou walked to the bedside, bent down, and said something in Ning Yan's ear.
Ning Yan's eyes seemed to turn slightly because of these words.
But the movement was so light that people couldn't be sure whether they saw it wrong.
"Since the death of the young general and the young lady, the old general's health has been getting worse day by day. I have tried many doctors but they are unable to find anything, and they can't even find the cause of the disease." Li Yangzhou sighed.
"They can't find the cause. That's because grandpa is not sick at all, but poisoned." Ning Qingyan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"What!" Li Yangzhou was shocked.
"Miss, do you know anything?"
Ning Qingyan didn't reply, but grabbed Ning Yan's bony wrist and placed her fingers on his veins.
Li Yangzhou's eyes widened, and he was horrified.
When did the eldest lady learn to diagnose the pulse?!
If yesterday he just felt that the eldest lady was no longer stupid, then today he deeply felt that the eldest lady seemed to be a different person!
Li Yangzhou's eyes darkened.
Ning Qingyan seemed not to notice, she let go of Ning Yan's wrist, stood up and said to Li Yangzhou: "Grandpa has been drugged with chronic poison for at least ten years."
Li Yangzhou's eyes narrowed severely, and the murderous intent in his eyes began to condense in shock.
"This kind of poison is very strange and difficult to detect under normal circumstances. Moreover, this kind of poison does not need to be taken for a long time. It can multiply in the human body by itself after just one use, devouring the person's origin and longevity to strengthen itself."
"In the end, when a poisoned person dies, people will mistakenly think that he died of old age or illness, and no clues can be found."
"Ten years! It was the year when the major general died in battle." Li Yangzhou looked at her in shock.
Ning Qingyan nodded.
"Miss, can the old general be saved?" Li Yangzhou asked subconsciously.
Ning Qingyan raised her lips and smiled, "Of course."
Inexplicably, Li Yangzhou relaxed after hearing her answer.
He believed what Ning Qingyan said!
"Uncle Zhou, please ask someone to prepare some medicinal materials." Ning Qingyan ordered naturally after walking out of Ning Yan's room.
Not only can we purchase the medicinal materials needed by Ning Yan, we can also prepare the medicinal materials for her marrow cleansing.
Li Yangzhou responded one by one.
However, after Ning Qingyan finished speaking, he asked with a complicated expression: "Miss, are you really the eldest lady?"
Ning Qingyan looked back after hearing this, her exquisite and beautiful facial features reflected in a bright smile. "Of course!"
Three simple words made the confusion in Li Yangzhou's eyes dissipate, and his eyes became firm again.
…
At dusk, a quiet lake hidden deep in the mountains outside Zhongdu City suddenly experienced something strange.
A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the originally calm lake surface, stirring all the water. In the center, a channel appeared directly to the bottom of the lake.
Bang!
A beam of blue light shot into the sky.
When the beam of light dissipated, a handsome figure that looked like an immortal appeared suddenly, turning from virtual to real.
The water plants on the lakeside were all bowed down, as if they were all respectfully greeting the god hanging on the lake.
However, that handsome man, who was as pure and clean as an immortal, turned a blind eye. He just stared in the direction of Zhongdu City and asked, "What night is it today?"
‘Woooo——’
The water plants moved with the wind, and the fireflies that fell into the grass slowly rose up and surrounded the man.
Everything seems to be responding to the man's question.
After a moment, the man sighed, "It's been a thousand years!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man's figure turned into a blue light and blended into the night, like a meteor hitting Zhongdu City.
When he reappeared, he was already in a luxurious mansion in Zhongdu.
There was a lingering smell of medicine all around, and there was a lifeless...dead person lying on the bed.
His illusory figure stood at the head of the bed, and his long and well-jointed fingers lightly touched the forehead of the person on the bed.
The temperature from his fingertips proved that this person had just been dead for a while, and no one had discovered it yet.
The man who was banished to immortals stared at the face of the dead man on the bed that was somewhat similar to his own, and was in a trance for a moment. Then, a strange memory came to his mind.
When he took back his hand, the person on the bed had turned into stars and disappeared into the world.
And his illusory appearance gradually solidified, turning into the same appearance as the man who died before, even the sick look between his eyebrows was exactly the same.
"Ahem." The man covered his lips and coughed lightly.
The sound of coughing alerted the servants waiting outside.
"My lord, are you awake?" The voice of the person who came in was full of excitement.
"Yeah." The man said softly.
The person who came in didn't care, and still said excitedly: "Great! Your Majesty's trick of celebrating the wedding really worked. Not long after the imperial edict of the marriage was issued, Your Majesty woke up! This is the great joy of our palace!"
