Chapter 79: Night Dive into Qiang Wu Imperial City
The next day.
Those people in black-tied and gold-trimmed clothing came to the inn early in the morning. They also smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry to keep you three waiting for so long. Our master is already waiting for you. Let's go quickly."
Bar."
Jiang Yingnian urged: "Let's go quickly. It's really not easy. Do you know how long we have been waiting?"
The leader smiled and said, "Sorry."
Jiang Yingnian said: "Where should we go?"
The smile on the leader's face did not change at all, and he said the same words as yesterday: "You'll find out later."
Jiang Yingnian: "..."
Those people in uniforms took the three of them to a villa on the outskirts of the main city.
The villa was well hidden. After entering from the gate, they had to walk for a while. What appeared in front of them was a small lake. They got on the boat and paddled to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, only to see Ah Shui, who had always affected their emotions!
Guan Jiyu said: "It's really Ah Shui! At last she didn't lie to us this time."
Jiang Yingnian stood up from the boat and said, "If I don't get the antidote this time, I won't let her go so easily."
They stepped off the boat one by one, and the few people who led the way withdrew.
At this moment, Ah Shui is sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Her lush brown hair is combed into thin braids. She has changed into a green gauze dress, pendants on her eyebrows, and earrings on her ears.
and the necklace around his neck are also inlaid with turquoise stones.
Before they could ask questions, Ah Shui took the lead in explaining the specific reasons why she left without saying goodbye last night: "I was wrong to leave without saying hello, but there are indeed very important things in my family that must be handled by me.
I have to deal with it myself, so out of desperation, I can only leave first."
Even though Guan Jiyu was unhappy in his heart, he still had a good attitude and said: "Yesterday's things have passed and are not important anymore. Miss Ah Shui, can we get the antidote today?"
Ah Shui said: "Everyone, sit down and talk."
The three of them sat down one by one according to her instructions. Ah Shui let out a long sigh and said, "It's not that I don't take Han Xu's matter to heart."
Han Xu was expressionless after hearing her words, but Jiang Yingnian raised his eyebrows and said, "What next?"
Ah Shui said: "He was indeed poisoned by a very complicated poison. I originally thought that when I got home, I would be able to find the antidote by searching around the house. After all, these medicinal materials are in short supply in the entire south.
.”
Guan Jiyu quickly asked: "So? Have you found it?"
Ah Shui sighed again and said: "I really tried my best to find it and asked other people for you, but it still didn't work. In order to refine the antidote, there is still one crucial ingredient missing. It
It's the "Red Flame Basket."" She held her chin, looked into the distance, and said: "Unfortunately, this thing is extremely difficult to find. It grows in extremely steep and narrow valleys. Nowadays, it is basically everywhere in the Kingdom of Ques.
No more."
As soon as Ah Shui finished speaking, Han Xu said leisurely: "So what you are saying is that there is no hope now and my life is almost gone, right?"
Ah Shui waved his hand hurriedly and said to Han Xu, "Don't be so pessimistic! Aren't I trying to think of a solution for you?"
Jiang Yingnian said: "What else can we do? Even if I intend to look for it in the valley you mentioned, there is no such variety anymore. What else can we do?!"
Ah Shui hesitated for a moment and then said: "Actually, there is nothing we can do." She said softly: "I know I can do it alone."
"who?!"
The three people said almost in unison.
Ah Shui glanced at them and said, "The national preceptor from the Qiang Wu Kingdom next door."
Guan Jiyu's heart dropped heavily when he raised his voice, and he said feebly: "This is our first time to come to the south. We are not familiar with the place. How could we possibly know the national master of the Qiang Wu Kingdom? Let alone ask him for something.
!」
Ah Shui pursed his lips and said, "Why can't it be done? What's wrong with him being the Imperial Preceptor? The Imperial Preceptor is also a human being. As long as he has some compassion, he will definitely give it to you."
Guan Jiyu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid there are so many people in this world who have no mercy. They are neither relatives nor friends. Why should others help us? It is reasonable to refuse us."
Ah Shui said: "Anyway, if you want to save Han Xu, the only way right now is to find the national master of the Qiang Wu Kingdom." She seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "Oh, by the way! I almost forgot, he is also your Xu Li.
People, go find him, maybe he will agree to give you the red flame basket because you are fellow villagers."
Han Xu asked in confusion: "You said he is from Xuli? How can the national preceptor of the Qiang Wu Kingdom be from Xuli?"
Ah Shui snorted and said, "Who knows, maybe the queen of the Qiang Wu Kingdom gave him too much. If he is treated well, he can still stay regardless of which country he is from."
Ah Shui suddenly became irritable and said impatiently: "Oh, I have explained so much to you, why don't you go quickly? If you don't go, Hanxu will die. Don't blame me. Anyway, I have shown you the way. Do you want to go?"
Whatever you want!"
As she spoke, she threw a piece of paper on the table and said: "This is the nearest road to the Qiang Wu Kingdom. I have already drawn it for you. I have also asked someone to prepare the carriage for you. You go quickly.
Bar!"
Jiang Yingnian wisely picked up the map and said, "Thank you so much Miss Ah Shui. We will set off now to the Qiang Witch Country."
When the three people left the villa, they saw a carriage waiting. They showed the coachman a map and set off on the road with high hopes.
The Kuisi Kingdom and the Qiang Wu Kingdom are both small countries, and the main cities of the two countries are very close to each other. It took them almost only half a day to reach the main city of the Qiang Wu Kingdom.
The driver was only responsible for delivering them to their destination and then left.
The three people stood there, staring at each other in confusion.
Guan Jiyu said: "If you want to find the national preceptor, shouldn't you go to the palace of Qiang Wu Kingdom and ask?"
Jiang Yingnian said: "Are you stupid? You still go to the palace to ask? Where do you think the palace where their royal family lives is? Can you just come in and ask questions?"
Guan Jiyu ran out of ideas and said, "What should we do?"
"Wait." Jiang Yingnian said: "We can wait until it gets dark, climb over the wall and enter their palace, and then find where their national master is."
The three of them found an inn nearby and arranged for Han Xu to rest first. Jiang Yingnian and Guan Jiyu discussed how to sneak into the palace of the Qiang Wu Kingdom at night.
Guan Jiyu looked at his red tassel gun and said: "This should not be taken, and your Yuehan Bow. The target is too obvious and it is difficult to move."
"Yes." Jiang Yingnian said: "We just need to be careful. We just need to avoid the soldiers they are guarding."
Jiang Yingnian looked at Han Xu who had just fallen asleep. In the past few days, Han Xu's condition was getting worse day by day. Although it was not obvious on his face, Jiang Yingnian could feel that Han Xu was
We are being corroded and destroyed by this poison from the inside out.
When night finally fell, Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian found two pairs of night clothes, put them on, and went out.
They stepped on it in advance and walked around to the wall behind the palace. It was the only relatively short wall and there were no people around, so it was the most suitable place to sneak in.
Guan Jiyu flew up and landed firmly on the wall. She squatted down and said to Jiang Yingnian: "Come up!"
The two successfully climbed over the wall and walked slowly inside. The imperial city of the Qiang Wu Kingdom was very small, and the palace inside was not as majestic as the Xuli Palace. But its appearance was all made of agate glazed tiles, which were said to be gold.
The bricks, jade and earth are not exaggerated. The entire splendid decoration makes people feel its exquisite luxury.
Jiang Yingnian whispered: "No wonder the Imperial Master wants to stay in the Qiang Wu Kingdom. It looks very prosperous here. Staying in the imperial city of such a small country and having a pretty good job is really a good idea.
What a beautiful thing."
"Stop talking." Guan Jiyu lowered his voice and said, "Let's find which room the Imperial Master is in first!"
The palace of Qiang Wu Kingdom is mainly divided into two main halls and six small halls.
According to the status of the national master, no matter how much he is appreciated by the Queen of Qiang Wu Kingdom, he can only
As a minister, he would definitely not be able to live in the two best palaces, so Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian decided to start from the small hall.
Because the Qiang Wu Kingdom is the same as the Kuisi Kingdom, and the people in these two countries have deep and exquisite looks, so it is not difficult to find a national master.
There is no need to ask whether he is a national master, you can tell just by looking at his appearance.
Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian acted separately. Each of them inspected three small halls and watched for a while. After the two of them met, they both shook their heads and said, "None of them!"
Then there are only the two main halls in the middle.
Jiang Yingnian said: "Good guy, this Imperial Master is doing well enough to be on an equal footing with the Qiang Witch Queen? Even the accommodation is so luxurious!"
The two people locked a place in the main hall, climbed to the window, and carefully poked a hole in the window paper, and the scene inside the room came into view.
The people inside had their backs to them, and they didn’t know what they were writing, and they couldn’t tell anything from their backs. Guan Jiyu prayed in his heart: Turn around quickly, turn around and see who you are!
Jiang Yingnian suddenly spoke up and said, "I guess you must be thinking in your mind right now. Ask the people in the room to turn around quickly so that you can see clearly whether it is the Imperial Master, right?"
Guan Jiyu was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know?"
Jiang Yingnian suddenly smiled and said: "Oh, I can't help it, who let me know you so well."
Seeing Guan Jiyu's confused face, Jiang Yingnian couldn't help but said: "Do you still need to see the face? You just need to judge whether the person in the room is a boy or a girl based on the figure. The girl must be the Qiang Witch Queen. If it is a boy,
, naturally he is the national master we are looking for."
Guan Jiyu really didn't expect this. She turned red when she was told that and said, "I know."
Jiang Yingnian shook his head and said, "With the head of a silly goose like you, how could you possibly think of it?"
The two people accidentally spoke louder. Guan Jiyu was about to retort when he heard someone behind him shout: "Who is that person?!"
The two of them slowly turned around, and then they saw two soldiers behind them pointing their spears at them, as if they were going to capture these two little thieves.
Jiang Yingnian smiled awkwardly, raised his hands and said, "You two gentlemen, listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation!"
The two soldiers didn't want to listen to what he had to say, and came to arrest them. In desperation, Jiang Yingnian gave up and shouted, "National Master, National Master, help me!".
The people inside heard the noise and came out of the room.
"Let them go."
The voice was gentle and sweet. Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian turned their heads to look at each other. As expected, the man in front of them had the face of a Xuli countryman.
A humble gentleman, gentle and gentle.
With his hair disheveled, he looked like a night god descending from the sky in the night. He said to the two soldiers, "Get back."
