Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 184 The Approaching Giant Conspiracy

Standing up calmly, and handing over the drawings to the man, Mo Li said softly, "Your Excellency must be a famous designer from all over the world, Mr. Lin Zhen. Dare I ask, is the drainage and defense of this square really designed by Mr. Lin himself? Has it passed through the hands of others?"

Lin Zhen waved his hands busily, and said, "Of course not, no! The villain has been designing since he was a child, and planned more than a dozen cities in Heluo Kingdom. From drainage to planting to vertical, there will be no mistakes!"

Mo Li didn't miss the guilty conscience that flashed in Lin Zhen's eyes, he said: "I just didn't say what's wrong with Mr. Lin's drainage construction drawing. Don't be nervous, Mr. Lin."

"This... villain..." Lin Zhen concluded.

Mo Li bowed his hands thoughtfully, and smiled warmly and elegantly: "I still have to hurry with my beloved wife, so I won't disturb the young master to direct the construction, so I will leave." After saying that, he took Baili Jiuge's hand and took her away.

Baili Jiuge always felt that something was wrong. After walking away, looking back at Lin Zhen, it seemed that Lin Zhen was wiping the sweat from his forehead...

It's really strange, will you still sweat when you stand and say a few words in a snowy day?
Could it be wiping off a cold sweat?

Baili Jiuge quickly lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Mo Li, did you find something?"

"Hmm..." He responded, sticking it to Baili Jiuge's ear, and patiently explained: "I just took a rough look at the drainage construction drawing just now, and it seems that it can drain the accumulated water in the square into the Luohe River. In fact, it is not.”

"How about it?"

"Actually... this layout is extremely risky, and it is likely to suck the water of the Luo River into the foundation of the square, causing fluctuations."

"What?!" Baili Jiuge was startled.

Lin Zhen is a great designer famous all over the world, and his family's grandparents have been designing for generations, and Baili Jiuge knows this.But how could such a master-level figure make such a mistake?
Thinking about Mo Li's words just now seemed to be testing Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen's behavior seemed unnatural... Baili Jiuge realized something, and a chill appeared on the back of his neck.

Quickly asked: "Mo Li, you mean, there is a conspiracy here?"

Mo Li nodded, "Well..." He said again: "It's better to believe in something than nothing. And if my guess is correct, somewhere along the Luo River, there will be a mechanism valve to control the flow of water in and out of the river." .”

Baili Jiuge couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously looked back at Lin Zhen, seeing that he had already started working again.

She took Mo Li's hand and asked, "If the square continues to develop like this, I always feel that there will be a big event in the sacrificial ceremony at the end of the year. Mo Li, what do you think?"

"Don't worry." He said softly, combing Baili Jiuge's long hair with one hand, and comforted him: "I'll let Yuying follow that Lin Zhen first, to see if he was instructed by someone, and then I can Count on it."

"Ah?" Baili Jiuge blinked, "Yuying?" Asked in surprise, "Didn't Yuying and Yulei go to Zhou Kingdom?"

Just at this moment, a black shadow flashed past, as if coming from the void, which dazzled Baili Jiuge.

Take a closer look, it's really Mikage!stand before them.

Mikage cupped her hands and saluted, "His Royal Highness."

"Yeah." Mo Li responded with a light expression, and said: "Yuying, it's hard work for you to come back, you have seen what happened just now, you know what to do next."

"My subordinates are clear." The voice was very reliable and decisive. After Yuying finished answering, she turned into a black shadow again and disappeared in a flash.

Baili Jiuge has seen Yuying's lightness skill and tracking technique many times, so he understands that Yuying's cultivation level is very high, probably even higher than hers.Seeing that Mo Li was confident and looking at her softly, she also smiled and felt relieved.

The journey to Mang Mountain is not too far, but because of the snow and ice, Baili Jiuge was afraid that Mo Li's body would not be able to bear it, so he was not allowed to use lightness kung fu, and let him concentrate on suppressing the Yin-Yang curse with internal strength.

Mo Li couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to obey, and took Baili Jiuge's white and soft little hands along the undulating road all the way, stepping on the thin snow, into the mountains.

Walking on the winding mountain road, the corners of the clothes were gently rolled up by the wind and snow, and a few shallow snow petals bloomed, and the footprints gone away were gradually covered by light snow...

This day, Baili Jiuge woke up in the cave, and saw that the person who hugged her to sleep last night got up early again to hunt game.She yawned, stretched, and hurried out of the cave.

heavy snow!

Baili Jiuge was stunned in astonishment, unexpectedly, there was such a heavy snowfall last night, and the mountains were covered in white in one night.

Following the smell of barbecue, Baili Jiuge walked towards a cliff, and saw a pile of firewood and a tree stick erected here, and a hare was propped on the tree stick.

Turning her eyes again, she was a little dazed, and the picture that caught her eyes was so beautiful.

Mo Li was standing alone on the edge of the cliff, dressed in white clothes covered with sunlight, the corners of the clothes were like snow, and the scattered snow flakes were curled up in her long hair.He was looking at thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the wide sleeve robe was like pure white snow in the distant mountains. At first glance, he couldn't tell where the sleeve robe was and where the snow was.

Sensing Baili Jiuge staring at him from behind, Mo Li looked over in a blink of an eye, the bottom of the pool was full of tenderness, and said, "Are you awake? Wait a moment, then have breakfast."

"Mo Li..." Baili Jiuge smiled brightly, strode over, and raised his hands to catch the six-petal snow falling from the sky.

Staring at the snow in her palm, she smiled and said: "The cold mountain road is far away, falling on the cold stream, there are always birds chirping, and there is no one in silence."

Mo Li stared at her tenderly, and continued with a slight smile: "The wind blows on the face, and snow piles up on the body. You don't see the sun in the morning, and you don't know the spring in the years."

After saying that, the two laughed out loud at the same time.Mo Li's clear and shallow laughter fell to the ground like snow on the branches, but Baili Jiuge laughed wantonly, and the echo floated in the mountains, echoing one after another.

Later, Mo Li roasted the rabbit.Because of the cold weather, Baili Jiuge snuggled into his arms, watching him considerately break off the rabbit's leg and deliver it to her.

Baili Jiuge was very happy, this rabbit was roasted deliciously!

Just about to revisit Mo Li's fine craftsmanship, but at this moment, from the corner of his eyes, he saw someone coming on the mountain road.

She looked around and saw two men dressed as officials escorting a woman.The woman wasn't wearing a prison uniform or chains, but that wasn't the point.The point is, that woman is actually Luo Zhanghua!
Baili Jiuge immediately remembered that the kidnapping of Wu Niannian was blamed on Luo Zhanghua by Luo Diewu. As a result, Luo Zhanghua had to be exiled to the Heluo border.Unexpectedly, he could meet her on this mountain road.

Luo Zhanghua was also stunned, his eyes dimmed with tears in an instant, he fell miserably, and cried: "Concubine Shizi, have pity on me, can you give me something to eat? I've been hungry for a long time, please ..."

Baili Jiuge was stunned, and the rabbit's leg in his hand almost fell to the ground.She really didn't expect that Luo Zhanghua rushed over to let her eat!
Although Baili Jiuge really didn't want to talk to Luo Zhanghua, but after thinking about it, it was not his style to add insult to injury, so he simply handed over the rabbit leg in his hand, "This is for you, eat it."

"Thank you Shizifei, thank you for saving me..."

Luo Zhanghua cried miserably, and started tearing and biting the rabbit's legs out of hunger, which really looked like it hadn't eaten for many days.

While eating, he begged again: "The two elder brothers who escorted me are also hungry, Shi Zifei, they are so pitiful..."

"Okay." Baili Jiuge didn't care anymore, and tore off a large piece of rabbit rib, and handed it to Luo Zhanghua.

Luo Zhanghua quickly took it, divided the rib into two halves, and gave it to the two officials.

Those two people originally wanted to catch Luo Zhanghua and continue on their way, but when they saw the hot and delicious roasted rabbits to eat, they simply ate them now, and they were not in a hurry to hurry on their way.

"Jiu Ge, this is for you." Mo Li broke off another rabbit's leg and sent it to Baili Jiu Ge.

She took it and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, anyway, this rabbit is so fat, everyone can fill their stomachs, don't be the last one, or I will return this rabbit leg to you."

Mo Li smiled slightly, and according to Baili Jiuge's instructions, broke off the third rabbit leg and chewed slowly.Seeing Baili Jiuge, he felt relieved, so he began to eat this delicious breakfast.

After about a stick of incense, Baili Jiuge was full, looked up at Luo Zhanghua who was also full, and the two officials also finished the rabbit meat, came to thank.

But at this time, an accident happened.

I saw the two officials suddenly stared at each other, and then fell to the ground with their stomachs in their arms. In a split second, one of them stopped moving, and the other rolled on the ground screaming in pain.

Baili Jiuge was shocked, and quickly got up and rushed over, shouting: "What's wrong with you?"

But Luo Zhanghua took advantage of this gap and ran away along the mountain road!
With a flash of Mo Li's figure, he arrived in front of the two officials.

He bent down and breathed out the breath of the motionless man, who was already dead.And the other person's face was black and blue, his lips were black and purple, and his forehead was full of bead-sized beads of sweat. He was still pressing his stomach firmly, as if he was suffering from severe pain.

"Poisoned?" Mo Li murmured, and immediately stretched out his fingers, sealing all the acupoints of the person who was still alive, preventing the poison from spreading further.

Baili Jiuge squatted beside the corpse, rolled over the man's eyelids and mouth, inspected it, gasped suddenly, and exclaimed: "Mo Li, I've seen this kind of poison before! When the senior ghost doctor healed Li Huo's legs, Li Huo's legs contained this kind of poison, called 'Rouge Kill'!"

"Rouge kill..." Mo Li murmured, his eyes flashed brightly, his heart was like a mirror.

Rouge kill is a highly poisonous poison refined by women in Heluo. Because of its scarce ingredients and high price, those who use this kind of poison are those from the royal family... There was no one in the direction, only two hasty footprints remained.

Baili Jiuge also came to his senses, "It's Luo Zhanghua?! She didn't mean to ask me to roast rabbits on purpose, and then took the opportunity to poison the rouge to kill the officials and run away by herself!"

"I think so." Mo Li whispered.

Although this matter has nothing to do with the two of them, and Luo Zhanghua just wanted to get away, but out of the morality of the world, both of them think that they can't do nothing.

So Baili Jiuge sent some internal energy to the living official, so that he could get up and walk, and then agreed with Mo Li, to rush to Feihong Villa before sunset today, borrowing the medicinal materials of Feihong Villa and the brothers who know medical skills in the village Ladies and gentlemen, detoxify this official.

Without further ado, the two hurriedly buried the dead man, and then set off to the depths of Mang Mountain with the living official.

At sunset, they really arrived at Feihong Villa.

As a result, the development of the matter was almost as Baili Jiuge thought, and she was ridiculed by Zhu Feihong, the owner of the village.

"Sister Xiaofeng, what are you doing! As a heroine, am I here in a hospital? I invited you to drink as a heroine, why did you bring a patient here?"

At the gate of the villa, under the plaque inscribed by Emperor Jing Cheng himself, Zhu Feihong wore a ponytail in her head, and wore a calico jacket and trousers of the same style.

With an exaggerated expression on her face, she hugged her Zidian Sweeping Wind Sword and shouted: "The rivers and lakes and the officialdom do not interfere with each other. Even if you bring a patient, don't bring an official. What if it is the same as a few years ago?" , Turn back and let the people of the imperial court wipe out Feihong Villa, how can I feel sorry for the heroine, my brothers?"

Baili Jiuge was exhausted, how could he have the energy to quarrel?He simply scoffed: "Zhu Feihong, whether you can save this person or not! If you save him, prepare the medicinal materials as I said now, if not, I will ruin your wine tasting party!"

"No way!" Zhu Feihong had no choice but to call the brothers over and put the official in.

Then, all the people in Feihong Villa were ordered by Baili Jiuge to fetch medicine, brew medicine, and take care of the sick.

Fortunately, when the ghost doctor treated Yin Liehuo's legs in the past, Baili Jiuge memorized the prescription by heart, so this time he was able to save the official's life by mistake.

Later, the official's poison was cured, but because the task of escorting Luo Zhanghua failed, he would be punished even if he went back to Luoyi.Baili Jiuge simply wrote a letter, explaining what happened, and asked the official to take it back.

The day when the official messenger was sent off happened to be the wine tasting meeting at Feihong Villa.

On this day, chivalrous people from the Jianghu gathered together, men, women, old and young, people from all over the world, even some people from Loulan in the Western Region, dressed in strange clothes, very eye-catching.

It happened that Baili Jiuge and Mo Li were wandering among the rows of good wine, Baili Jiuge pointed to a few Loulan people in the distance, and said to Mo Li: "Our Tianshan Poison Girl, one of the seven places in Huagu, It is the soul-returning grass she sold to Ziqi, and she is also wearing Loulan clothes. It's just that she is not from Loulan, but from Queen Yuan and the Northern Wei Kingdom."

Mo Li smiled slightly, and responded softly.He is also from Qihua Valley, so he knows a little about Tianshan Poison Girl, but seeing Baili Jiuge talking happily at the moment, he patiently becomes her listener.

At this moment, there were a lot of people, and some people had already started pouring wine.

Baili Jiuge also kept looking at the wines on display, wanting to pick the best one to drink, but at a glance, there was a dazzling array of beautiful things in his eyes, and all of them were of the highest quality.

Can't help but say: "Xiangquan, Tianchun, Sutang, Qiongsu, durian flower wine, Baxiangqing, Chuzhou Jinpanlu, Rongyang Shikuchun, Tang Shiyu's practice hammer... God! That guy Zhu Feihong is too amazing, This is a collection of famous wines from all over the world!"

There are so many good wines, if I drink them all, I will definitely pass out!But if you don't drink it all, you will be very regretful...

What a difficult choice!
Seeing Baili Jiuge's conflicted appearance, Mo Li said with a smile: "Jiuge really loves wine, otherwise he wouldn't be hesitant to make up his mind because of drinking."

"Of course, this is a rare wine tasting event."

Baili Jiuge Da Lala said with a smile: ""Yuanjian Leihan" says: "Alcohol also has clear, unique, thick, falling, sweet, bitter, red, thread, and white." There are so many famous wines from various countries in one category, I want to taste them all, of course it will be difficult to choose.”

Mo Li said: "Then, how about choosing one of Qing, Du, Thick, Fall, Sweet, Bitter, Red, Line, and White?"

"Well... I still want to drink."

Mo Li smiled helplessly, her moon-like eyes were full of pampering.How could his silly nine songs be so good?
However, he just liked her being different, so he said: "Just drink to your heart's content. If you are drunk, I will be here, so don't worry."

"Mo Li..." Baili Jiuge's heart warmed up, looking at Mo Li's affectionate eyes, he felt drunk, as if he had drunk too much wine.

Da Lala smiled: "Yes, good!" She climbed onto Mo Li's neck, kissed him on the cheek, and then went straight to the pot of Liu Lingzui pot that was closest to her.

Snatching the wine jar from a big man, Baili Jiuge hurriedly took two sips in his arms, relieved his hunger, and then returned the wine jar to the big man.Because of his enthusiasm, he chanted: "The situation is that the youth is dying, and the peach blossoms are falling like red rain. I advise you to get drunk all day long, and the wine will not reach the soil on Liu Ling's grave!"

Baili Jiuge drank recklessly in this room, but in the other room, Mo Li watched dotingly, and followed her all the time.

However, when everyone was drinking heavily, an accident happened suddenly.

I saw a brother from the village running like crazy, shouting at Zhu Feihong: "It's not good, it's not good! Go to Merlin! Merlin, Merlin..." It seemed that he was so surprised that he actually It's the end of the sentence and I can't go on.

This incident was like a bolt from the blue, which made all the Jianghu people who were drinking to their hearts' content wake up. At this moment, they couldn't help but feel vigilant, wondering whether someone from the underworld had come to make trouble.

So, everyone hurriedly followed Zhu Feihong towards the plum forest in the back mountain.

When they arrived at Merlin, the sight that caught their eyes made everyone gasp.And Baili Jiuge was beside Zhu Feihong at this moment, and froze in surprise.

No one can believe that those red, white and white plum blossoms are withering one by one—not falling off, but drying up, and then withering to black and yellow, until the whole plum tree gradually turns black yellow!
Baili Jiuge was shocked.How can flowers wither?It's like being poisoned.Such an out-of-phase is really creepy!
"Look, it's a bug!"

Someone with sharp eyes noticed the clue, and quickly pointed to a nearby plum tree, shouting: "Those bugs are lying on the branches, they must have dyed the poison into the plum tree, and made the plum tree like this!"

Everyone looked carefully, and they really saw that there were several fist-sized insects lying on the branches of each plum tree.

The worm has a strange figure, one can tell it's a Gu worm at a glance!

This made everyone very strange, how could there be so many Gu worms in Feihong Villa?And why did these Gu worms only attack plum trees?
Baili Jiuge trembled suddenly, and suddenly realized something at this moment.

Gu worm... Such a cruel Gu worm, could it be——

Yin Yang Family Gu Lingjun? !
