"Poison?" Yan Chaoyang said.
"It's a poisonous powder called 'Bitter Kiss'. It's made from a kind of poisonous grass in the Great Desert Plains called Hook Kiss. It's dried and ground together with the Thunder God Vine. It's a kind of poison with a slow effect. Those who are poisoned will have difficulty breathing, especially in the latter half of the night. They will be like the dead, and their bodies will gradually wither and become weak. While it is indeed poison, it is recorded in the Hundred Herb Garden that Bitter Kiss is also an aid in treating epilepsy …. "
Zhuge Xiaoshan smiled bitterly. "This poison is not common, but even an ordinary doctor would not treat it like a plague. Why is Yan Li's aunt even more ignorant than Yan Li? "
This was not an easy question to answer.
Yan Chaoyang thought about it. "Because she is his aunt?"
"What kind of answer is that?" Zhuge Xiaoshan could not help but laugh. "It is not a competition of who is better."
"Senior Brother fell from the sky!" He suddenly realized. "Could it be that you are not from the Jambu Realm?"
Yan Chaoyang nodded.
Zhuge Xiaoshan understood. "Given your rowdy personalities, you would have long been famous. No wonder I have never heard of you before. "
"Dusk Cloud Brothel is so despicable. To achieve their goals, they even implicate innocent villagers." He glanced at Liu Sanbian, who was talking to Shen Liuyun. "I must expose them!"
And then he walked over.
Liu Sanbian looked over at this moment, "Miss Shen knows these two people?"
"Acquaintances," Shen Liuyun said mildly.
Liu Sanbian said in a low voice, "That frivolous young man must have taken a liking to Miss Shen. If he asks to treat the patients on the spot, he might have ulterior motives. I am worried that the villagers will not be able to withstand his torment …."
"I know," Shen Liuyun said mildly.
Zhuge Xiao Lou walked over and cupped his fists towards the two of them. "Just now, Senior Brother and I discussed the situation of the plague and realized that it has reached a point where we cannot delay any longer. If the two of you agree, why don't we give it a try?"
"There's no need." Liu Sanbian said, "Miss Shen and I have already found the right medicine."
"Oh?" Zhuge Xiaoshan smiled. "I'd like to know what you have in mind."
"Little Brother Zhuge," Liu Sanbian frowned. "I'll be frank. You're still young and have a bright future ahead of you. Why waste your time here? The villagers were innocent. Not only did they suffer from the plague, they were also tormented by you. They would probably die with resentment in their mouths! How can you bear to do that? "
Zhuge Xiao Shan was infuriated, and blurted out: "How dare you say such things!"
"Brother Zhuge!" Liu Sanbian's face darkened. A whip appeared in his hand. "If you're here to cause trouble, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place!"
Yan Chaoyang expressionlessly extended his hand and grasped the air. A dark blue light appeared.
Liu Sanbian's expression changed slightly, but the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer. He sternly reprimanded, "Even if I'm not your match, I won't let you harm the villagers even if I have to risk my life!"
Zhuge Xiaoshan felt an unprecedented anger.
"Stop, you two idiots." At this moment, Shen Liuyun said coldly.
Liu Sanbian was overjoyed.
However, Shen Liuyun quickly followed up and said, "So what if I let you treat it?
Liu Sanbian's heart jumped. "Shen, Miss Shen, why don't you care about the lives of the villagers?"
Chen Liuyun glanced at him coldly and said, "If we can prevent a calamity, what does the life and death of a single person count for? Even if you're an idiot, you should know which is more important, one person or all of them. "
Liu Sanbian was shocked. Did she notice something?
"Then let him treat them." He suddenly realized that he did not understand this woman at all.
Zhuge Xiaoshan was surprised, but he did not say anything. He said to Yan Chaoyang, "Brother, please find some croton."
"There's no need to look for it. This family has it." Shen Liuyun said.
Zhuge Xiaoshan ground the croton into powder, added some brown sugar, soaked it in boiling water, and fed it to the patient.
While the patient was excreting, he asked Shen Liuyun, "Is there any Huangcen, Huanglian, Huangbai, and Licorice in the village?"
"There's no Huangbai." Shen Liuyun said, "But I know there's some in the mountains nearby. How much do you need?"
"Two taels is enough." Zhuge Xiaoshan said.
Shen Liuyun went to the toilet and came back in a moment.
Coincidentally, the patient came out of the toilet. His sallow face was slightly ruddy, and his aura was more cheerful. His strength had recovered, and he could walk more steadily.
"How do you feel?" Shen Liuyun gave the medicine to Zhuge Xiaoshan and asked about the patient's condition.
The patient was holding his abdomen, and his breathing had calmed down. "I, I feel much better. Thank you, Miss Drifting Cloud …"
Another two hours later, Zhuge Xiaoshan was done with the medicine, and Yan Chaoyang was responsible for delivering it to the patient.
The patient first shivered, then vomited a mouthful of black blood. When he looked at his complexion again, it was no different from normal.
Zhuge Xiaoshan smiled. "Sure enough, he got a bitter kiss. Fortunately, Master's wife told me about it."
"Bitter kiss?" Shen Liuyun looked at him.
"Poison." Zhuge Xiaoshan said.
Shen Liuyun's face gradually turned cold. She turned around to look for Liu Sanbian, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Zhuge Xiaoshan then realized that the culprit was gone. He said angrily, "I can't believe he got away. How despicable!"
"Saving people is more important." Yan Chaoyang reminded them.
The three of them busied themselves for a while. It was not until dawn that the villagers were rescued.
On the evening of the next day, Shen Liuyun went to look for Zhuge Xiaoshan.
Zhuge Xiaoshan thought that she wanted to ask about Liu Sanbian's background, so he smiled and was ready to answer.
"May I know who Master's wife is?"
Zhuge Xiaoshan was startled. "Sister Shen, why do you ask?"
"I hope to get some pointers from her." Shen Liuyun said.
"My Master's wife is called Second Mother Wen." Zhuge Xiaoshan smiled. "I happen to be going there. If you don't mind, you can come with me."
…
Parting Hatred Palace.
It was the time when the rooster crowed. The sky was still bright.
Yan Li suddenly felt someone approaching. He woke up from his shallow sleep.
Servants had no human rights. Servants had to wake up early to work.
This was Yan Li's impression of the "profession" of being a servant.
That was why he thought that it was someone in charge. He did not expect that the person who opened the door was Ji Hyun-woon and the General with the Silver Spear.
Ji Hyun-woon threw a light blue robe at him. "Change into it and follow me."
"What are you doing?" Yan Li observed carefully. There were no signs of wriggling. There should not be any poisonous creatures like scorpions or snakes hiding in it.
The General with the Silver Spear shouted coldly, "I asked you to change into it. What are you talking about!"
Yan Li changed into it silently.
Then he realized that he had really become a servant that could be found everywhere in Parting Hatred Palace.
He followed them to the huge square.
There were already two chairs there.
Ji Hyun-woon sat down. "Sit."
Yan Li pointed at himself in surprise. "You're asking me to sit?"
Ji Hyun-woon said pleasantly, "You didn't hear wrong."
Yan Li did not know what he was up to. He did not stand on ceremony and sat down.
The General with the Silver Spear's expression changed. He shouted, "Lord Xiao Wang asked you to sit? Who do you think you are? How dare you sit on the same level as Lord Xiao Wang? "
"Little Bai, what crime should I punish him for?" Ji Hyun-woon said calmly.
"If it's an ordinary crime, he will be flogged a hundred times and chased out of the palace." The General said coldly, "This person is a wanted criminal, but he has no intention of repentance. He has committed many crimes. He should be sentenced to death!"
"Did you hear that?" Ji Hyun-woon said.
"Yes." Yan Li said, "If you want to punish someone, you can always find a pretext."
Ji Hyun-woon said sincerely, "Actually, Xiao Wang does not want to kill you. There is only one way for you to escape the death penalty."
Yan Li also said sincerely, "What is it?"
"Tell me why you were behaving strangely yesterday." Ji Hyun-woon said.
"Are you curious?" Yan Li said.
"Xiao Wang is very curious." Ji Hyun-woon said.
Yan Li said, "You are curious, but I don't want to say."
Ji Hyun-woon said pleasantly, "Are you afraid of exposing your secret? Don't worry. Xiao Wang is an honest and trustworthy young man. If you tell me, I will definitely help you keep your secret. "
"Can a secret still be a secret if I tell someone else?" Yan Li said.
Ji Xuanyun smiled faintly and said, "If I know your secret, then we will be friends with a common secret. There are simply endless benefits to being friends with Little Wang. Don't tell me you're not tempted?"
Yan Li said disapprovingly, "What benefits? Show me first."
"Like this." Ji Hyun-woon took out a book like magic and threw it to Yan Li.
Yan Li looked at it and saw the words "Tidal Sword Technique."
It was a secret book.
A secret book is equivalent to a supreme skill. A supreme skill is equivalent to a trump card to save your life.
Even if you don't use it, you can sell it on the market.
Yan Li was no longer a newbie who didn't know anything. The worst secret books on the market were sold for 10 soul stones. Sword techniques, saber techniques and fist techniques were even more expensive.
A sword technique worth at least 20 soul stones was thrown to him by Ji Hyun-woon like trash.
Yan Li immediately smiled like a flower. "Master Xiao Wang, it is my honor to be friends with you."
The soldier with the silver spear looked at him with disdain and sneered.
"Can you share your secret with your friend now?" Ji Hyun-woon said with a smile.
"It's like this." Yan Li said with a smile, "I was born with a disease. I can't control myself when the disease breaks out. I didn't mean to offend Master Xiao Wang."
Ji Hyun-woon said pleasantly, "Can you 'break out' now? Xiao Wang also wants to be friends with you. "
"No." Yan Li said.
"How about this?" Ji Hyun-woon took out three secret books and shook them.
"No." Yan Li said.
"How about this?" The secret books in Ji Hyun-woon's hand became five.
Yan Li said righteously, "A real man can't be subdued by force, nor can he be corrupted by wealth!"
"How about this?" The secret books became ten. And they were all sword techniques.
Yan Li seemed to see hundreds of soul stones swaying in front of him. He was dazzled and wanted to snatch them all.
"No, Master Xiao Wang," he said sincerely, "I can't summon them at will, nor can I send them back at will."
Ji Hyun-woon's expression gradually became contemptuous. "Since you can't control the Eight Group of Spiritual Beings, give them to Xiao Wang. Don't worry, Xiao Wang won't mistreat you."
