"Did you hear me?" Second Great Uncle asked while lying on the rocking chair.
"Yes." The sloppy old man stood aside respectfully and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Second Great Uncle glared at him. "Listen carefully. Hurry up and go!"
The sloppy old man hurriedly reminded him, "Senior, I forgot the antidote!"
The old man threw a porcelain bottle over and said, "There are 100 antidotes here. Each one can suppress the poison in your body for two days. That is to say, seven months at most. If you still can't bring her back after seven months …"
"What … what will happen?" The sloppy old man asked with a trembling voice.
"Her limbs will be stiff and she will bleed from her orifices. Within two hours, she will turn into a pool of pus."
The sloppy old man's expression changed drastically and he said, "Senior, can you give me a few more? The world is so big and it's so difficult to find a person. What if, what if you still can't find her after seven months …"
Second Great Uncle nodded and said, "So, you can't delay."
The sloppy old man was speechless.
Not long after, the sloppy old man walked out of the Li family with a horse, looking dispirited.
He lifted his sleeve and looked at his arm, looking even more dispirited.
This time, it was a real poison …
"Damned Daoist nun, damned old monster …" He quickly got on the horse and put away the token in his bosom. With this thing, he would be able to gather enough information along the way.
"Go!"
The old man waved his whip and a cloud of dust quickly rose on the road.
"Second Great Uncle, I'm worried about my husband. How about I go with him?" Ruyi walked forward with an anxious look on her face.
"What's the use of you going?"
Second Great Uncle glanced at her and said, "You're pregnant now. Can you fight with a guru? Don't use your True Qi before the child is born. There has never been a lack of geniuses in the martial arts world. There were peerless masters who reached the top at a young age. Why didn't they have children? Also, have you forgotten why your father destroyed his own martial arts?
If there's any mistake, you two won't be able to live in peace for the rest of your lives. "
Ruyi bit her lip and finally fell silent.
"Where's Ruyi?" the old man suddenly asked.
"She went to Liu Meng." Ruyi looked up at the west and sighed, "I wonder how much Xiang has suffered …"
…
…
"These fruits are all wilted and not fresh at all. Do you have pears? Give me two fresh pears." Li Yi laid comfortably on a soft bed and pointed at the blue-clothed man in the room.
"Where can I find fresh pears for you in this season?" The blue-clothed man's eyes were almost spitting fire. He said angrily, "Moreover, this is a ship. Don't go too far!"
"Are you coming?"
"Wait — wait a minute!"
The blue-robed man's face fell as he strode out of the room.
Li Yi rubbed his head and threw a candied date into his mouth. He had been on the boat for two hours and his head was a little dizzy.
Meeting that damned Daoist nun aside, today was actually a very happy day.
He was finally going to have a child. This was something that he had never experienced in his two lifetimes.
However, Ruyi must be very worried now. Xiao Huan must be crying. Miss.Liu must be unhappy too. He had promised her another 100,000 taels of silver in a few days. He didn't know how long it would take.
The old Emperor was probably not in a good mood either. He had earned a lot of money these days. He had planned to persuade him to confiscate a few people's properties. This was the fastest way to earn money, but he had to wait until he came back.
He still hoped that he could hang on for a little longer. If he died early, the Jing Kingdom would be in chaos. After all, the King of Shu would not be able to return to the capital alive. The other princes would definitely be locked in a fierce battle. At that time, the Eldest Princess, Yong Ning, and the proud Lolita …
"The pears you wanted!"
The blue-clothed man walked in and placed two yellow pears on the plate on the table.
"You really have them?" Li Yi asked in surprise.
The corner of the blue-clothed man's mouth twitched. He had almost rummaged through the warehouse to find these two pears. This despicable fellow, how dare he make fun of me like this …
If not for Her Ladyship's instructions, he swore that he would have killed him!
"Unfortunately, they are not fresh." Li Yi shook his head and said.
"Oh yes, do you have wine?"
"Drinking wine is a hindrance. Her Ladyship forbids it!"
"Bring a jar of wine over."
"Let me tell you, don't go too far!"
"Are you going to bring it or not?"
"— —"
"This wine doesn't have any taste." Li Yi shook his head. However, it was fine. If he really brought the wine from Ruyi Workshop, he would not be able to handle it.
Suddenly, Li Yi thought of something. He pointed outside and said, "I saw a pleasure boat just now. Do you want to call two women from there …"
"Forget it …" Seeing that the blue-clothed man was on the verge of exploding, Li Yi waved his hand and said, "I don't need women. It's rare to be happy today. Let me treat you to a drink."
"Her Ladyship said that we can't drink wine."
…
"Where are we going?" Li Yi took a bite of the pear and asked with a smile.
A trace of confusion appeared on the blue-clothed man's face. He said, "Of course, we are going to the Qi Kingdom. The root of our Holy Religion is in the Qi Kingdom. I'm not bragging, but we have, have 100,000 believers in the Qi Kingdom …"
"So many?" Li Yi had a surprised expression on his face.
A multi-level marketing organization that had 100,000 members could be regarded as a classic example. Who didn't know how to brainwash? If he could get these people over …
The blue-clothed man showed a disdainful expression and said, "This is nothing. Not only the Qi Kingdom, but also your Jing Kingdom. The Holy Religion has many believers. We deliberately took a detour to go to the Shu Kingdom. You know the King of Shu, right …"
"Yes, I've heard of him, but I'm not familiar with him." Li Yi nodded. When he was about to continue asking, he suddenly heard a bang. The blue-clothed man fell on the table and snored.
"Carry him out."
The middle-aged Taoist nun walked in from outside the cabin and waved her hand. Immediately, someone carried the blue-clothed man out.
"What do you think? As long as you join our Holy Religion, you will immediately receive the treatment of a protector. I hope you can consider it carefully. I don't even need the Liu Alliance to work for our Holy Religion …" The Taoist nun said. When she looked up again, she found that the young man in front of her had fallen asleep on the soft couch.
She frowned and turned to walk out of the room. She waved her sleeves and gently closed the door.
"Keep an eye on him." She said to the two people at the door, then floated away.
…
Li Xuan happily stepped into the mansion. As soon as he entered, he said loudly, "I just met Liu Jimin at the palace gate. He said …"
He looked at the young servant girl with red and swollen eyes and asked, "What happened? Who bullied you?"
After a while, he walked out of the Li Mansion with a gloomy face. He got on the carriage and said in a low voice, "To the palace!"
"That boy's wife is pregnant?" Emperor Jing put down the accounts in his hands and temporarily suppressed the joy of nearly a million taels of silver entering the national treasury. He smiled and said, "Pass the decree that Chang 'an County Earl Li Yi is dedicated to his duty and shared the emperor's worries. He will be granted the title of Marquis of Chang' an County. His wife, Lady Liu, is smart, virtuous, dignified and elegant.
Chang De hurried in from outside the hall. He looked up at Emperor Jing and said, "Your Majesty, County Earl Li Yi is in trouble …"
"Bastard! How could such a thing happen under the Emperor's rule!" Emperor Jing's face darkened. The next moment, he covered his chest and frowned deeply …
After a quarter of an hour, a group of fast horses galloped out of the palace gate. The Secret Intelligence Office turned out in full force, which made the officials and nobles in the capital tremble. The glaze bazaar had just ended. Was His Majesty going to make a big move again?
…
…
When Li Yi woke up from his sleep, it was already dusk.
He pushed open the door and walked out. On the sparkling river, there were groups of pleasure boats and laughter. He didn't know where he was.
"Aren't we leaving?" He looked at the two people at the door and asked.
"The river is congested at this time. Her Ladyship has ordered us to leave after midnight."
Li Yi nodded and said, "It's still early. Why don't we go up and listen to the opera and watch the singing and dancing?"
"What did you do to me just now?" The man in blue walked over angrily from the side.
"I want to go up and listen to the opera. Do you want to come with me?"
The man in blue said angrily, "Don't even think about it. I won't be fooled by you again. You can only stay on the boat. You can't go anywhere!"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Then I'll go and ask your Ladyship."
After a quarter of an hour.
"Look, isn't it more interesting to go out than to stay on the boat?"
Li Yi looked back at the dozen people behind him, pointed to the front and said, "There is a brothel in front. Go in and watch the opera and listen to the stories. If you see anything you like, just buy it. I'll be the host today. Remember to go back and ask your Ladyship for reimbursement …"
