Power ministers always make things difficult for me

Chapter 164: Southern Border Forbidden Technique

Wuerhuang gritted his teeth. Before coming here, Duan Qianjun had told him that this man had great martial arts skills and was incomparable to ordinary people, so he must avoid conflict with him.

But no matter how powerful a person is, he is nothing more than flesh and blood. He just doesn't believe that anyone can really defeat his Gu master.

A dignified left prime minister is actually afraid of this mere secret guard!

Thinking of this, Wu Erhuang had already forgotten Duan Qianjun's instructions. He snorted coldly and turned the piccolo in his hand over: "You said this, I want to see how powerful you can be!"

The next second, a shrill flute sound came out from Wuerhuang's lips. After receiving the order, the Gu people rushed towards Chengying like crazy.

Chengying's eyes flashed, and he exerted force on his wrist, and the short blade in his hand flew out like a swift sword, piercing the heart of a poisonous insect next to Yu Shengyan, and the poisonous insect sank deeply into the edge of the bed.

This is enough to show how profound the internal force of this mere sword is.

In the blink of an eye, Chengying had flashed to Yu Shengyan's side, pulled her behind him and protected her tightly, kicked up the short blade that was stuck in the edge of the bed with his foot, and held it in his hand again.

He tilted his head and winked at Yu Shengyan behind him: "Be smart later. I won't be able to take care of you when I'm dealing with those evil creatures. Hide behind me. I will do my best to protect you."

……

In the bumpy carriage, Xingluo, who had gradually recovered her strength, woke up slowly. She moved her fingers, but she felt so weak as if her soul had been sucked out.

"woke up?"

A gentle voice came from above her head, and someone was pinching her wrist and taking her pulse, as if checking her physical condition.

"You're recovering well. Can you sit up?" Xi Qing checked and retracted his hand. He tried to prop up her back so that she could drink the medicine in a more convenient position. "Drink this medicine. You'll get better faster."

Xingluo half opened his eyes, lowered his eyes to look at the half spoonful of medicine that fell on his lips, frowned slightly, and then opened his mouth to drink it.

Then, another spoonful.

While feeding her medicine, Xi Qing raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don't you think it's bitter?"

Xingluo did not answer, but just shook his head lightly.

She pursed her lips, as if she thought he was drinking too slowly, and simply snatched the bowl from Xi Qing's hand, tilted her head back and swallowed it all in one gulp.

"Hey, you..." Before Xi Qing could stop her, the bowl of medicine had been finished by her, and what fell into his hand had become an empty bowl.

This girl...

Xi Qing looked at the bowl in his hand in surprise, then looked at Xing Luo who had an expressionless face. The sweet fruit that he had prepared in advance seemed to be of no use.

After drinking the medicine, Xingluo lifted the quilt and lay back down. He curled up in the quilt like a small ball, his face was pale, and anyone who saw him would feel pity for him.

Seeing that Xi Qing was still not leaving, Xingluo probably guessed his intention: "Do you want to ask about Rongli?"

Xi Qing was stunned at first, not expecting her to say it so bluntly, and then nodded: "Yeah."

He had been waiting for her to wake up with a purpose in mind, and it would be best if she could bring it up on her own initiative.

"You said Rongli's condition is not an illness, then what is it?" Xingluo heard this and thought of Rongli's bizarre and tragic condition not long ago. Even though she was used to seeing life and death, she couldn't help but sympathize: "Her condition, I am just guessing, but if the blood I fed her yesterday saved her life, then my guess is not wrong."

"You have been practicing medicine and saving lives your whole life, and you know every disease in the world, but there are always places you cannot reach."

"I have only seen her illness in the secret compartment of Marquis Sheyuan's private vault. It was a scroll that Marquis Sheyuan brought back from his expedition to Southern Xinjiang. If you want to find out, you have to go to Southern Xinjiang."

Xingluo blinked, but then changed the subject and his expression became serious: "But then again, even if you really go to Southern Xinjiang, I'm afraid you will return empty-handed."

That place has already become a desolate place.

Beiding has always been ruled by a tyrant who has always liked to expand his territory. Therefore, conquering everywhere has become the norm. The Marquis Sheyuan, who secretly refines poison, has naturally become the best weapon of the Emperor of Beiding.

The southern Xinjiang bordering Beiding became the primary place for plunder.

In the battle in southern Xinjiang that year, no one from any ethnic group in southern Xinjiang survived, and even the yellow sand in the sky could not cover the blood splattered everywhere.

Marquis Sheyuan once discovered the ancient tomb of the ancestors of Southern Xinjiang during his conquest of Southern Xinjiang. He found a scroll recording the forbidden techniques of Southern Xinjiang inside, and thus accidentally discovered this unknown forbidden technique. He had selfish motives, and concealed the matter from the ruling emperor. He secretly hid the scroll, trying to find a way to make this forbidden technique reappear in the world.

Recalling the past that he couldn't bear to look back on, Xing Luo's hand holding the corner of the quilt tightened unconsciously: "It's a pity that the record on the scroll is very little. He searched all the ancient books in Southern Xinjiang like crazy, and even dug up the ancient tomb of the Southern Xinjiang ancestor, but he still couldn't find any trace of this forbidden technique."

"I accidentally saw that ancient book in Marquis Sheyuan's private vault. I can't read, but I know that the patterns carved on it are very similar to the state of Rongli when she is sick. So I guessed that Rongli's illness is related to this forbidden technique."

"And I... am a poisoner created by Sheyuan Hou with countless poisons. I have hundreds of poisons mixed in my body, but there is one poison that can suppress the outbreak of this forbidden technique. However, this poison is fierce and not something that ordinary people can withstand. But it just so happens that... the medicinal wine you prepared can just be the antidote. So, that day I fed her the wine mixed with blood. To put it simply, I was just trying my luck to see if I could suppress the forbidden technique."

Xi Qing's face was solemn, and he kept pondering over in his mind some forbidden technique that she had never heard of.

and also……

It turned out that this heartless little girl in front of him had such a tragic experience. He had heard of the reputation of Marquis Sheyuan. The time she spent in the hands of Marquis Sheyuan was an experience he could not even imagine.

Every drop of blood and every piece of flesh on Xingluo's body was filled with terrifying poison. I really don't know how she could survive until now...

After telling him about the forbidden technique, Xingluo turned over, not wanting to see Xi Qing's eyes that were looking at him as if he were a monster.

She turned her back and said, "Lihun has long been extinct. Although Nanjiang has been occupied by Beiding, the people of Beiding, who are used to green mountains and clear waters, cannot survive in that barren land of yellow sand. Nanjiang has become a desert where no one has set foot. If you want to go to Nanjiang to find a solution to the forbidden technique, it is simply impossible. You can't cure Rongli's disease."

"Even if she survives this time, she will die in the future."

Xi Qing lowered his head and remained silent. Although Xing Luo's words were unpleasant to hear, they were the facts before their eyes. If there really were clues about the forbidden technique in Southern Xinjiang, how could Marquis Sheyuan return empty-handed?

Can leave...

Is it really your destiny to die?

If Rong Qin knew about this, how would he react?

He didn't dare to think too much about it.

Xi Qing has been practicing medicine for several years, but only today did he realize what it means to be helpless.
