At one o'clock in the evening, the three of them left Chang'an Temple and returned to Luoyang Inn in the city.

Liu Qi and Liu An were guarding the door to the backyard.

Now, the backyard of Luoyang Inn is filled with the master's things. The guest room temporarily used as a study contains important letters. Of course, irrelevant people cannot be allowed to enter the backyard, not even the waiter in the inn, for fear that the master's plan might be ruined if they fail to keep an eye on it.

As soon as he saw his master coming back, Liu Qi hurried forward to report to Xie Xi: "Master, Guard Mu Qing has returned and said he has something important to report to you."

Hearing this, Xie Xi nodded slightly, raised his eyes and looked around, but did not see Mu Qing, so he asked: "Where is Mu Qing?"

Liu An, who was standing nearby, was the first to answer: "My Lord, Guard Mu Qing was slightly injured and has returned to his room to treat his injuries."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a creaking sound from the front, which was the sound of the door opening.

Mu Qing strode out, holding the sword in both hands and leaning forward slightly: "I have already done what the master told me to do."

"Ah."

Xie Xi responded, took a step back, looked Mu Qing up and down, and noticed that Mu Qing's right arm seemed a little stiff. Xie Xi frowned and said, "Come with me first."

After saying that, Xie Xi walked forward first.

Upon learning that they were going to discuss something important again, Lu Xiaoxiao stood where she was, struggling for a moment as to whether or not to follow them.

[Guard Mu Qing wants to discuss important matters with His Highness, so I won’t get involved, right? I don’t understand anyway, how about…]

"lady."

"???"

[Eh? Didn't His Highness leave just now? ]

Seeing Xie Xi coming back to her side, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but reveal a look of shock. Her almond eyes widened even more and she asked curiously, "Husband, why are you still here?"

Originally, Xie Xi had no plan to ask Lu Xiaoxiao to go to the study to discuss matters together, but after hearing her voice, Xie Xi stopped and walked back.

Now that he has openly confessed to Lu Xiaoxiao the purpose of his trip, there would be no harm in bringing Lu Xiaoxiao along to discuss matters.

"Of course I have to bring my wife into the study."

When these words were spoken, Liu Qi and Liu An who were present were both stunned.

When they were discussing the matter previously, the master did not allow the lady to participate. Why did he suddenly change his mind now?

The Liu brothers didn't understand.

Liu Qi couldn't help but say: "Master, this..." Is there something wrong?

Xie Xi's eyes narrowed.

Before Liu Qi finished speaking, Liu An noticed his master's gaze and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth: "Master, just listen to me."

Liu Qi: “…”

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Mu Qing didn't know why his master wanted to bring Lu Fengyi along, but he never raised any objection to his master's actions.

Meng Huaijun knew the reason, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"Let's go, ma'am."

Xie Xi reached out and took Lu Xiaoxiao's hand and walked towards the study together.

Mu Qing followed behind in silence.

Meng Huaijun raised his hand and patted Liu Qi on the shoulder, saying meaningfully: "Master has always been smart and will definitely not make any irrational decisions."

This is a reminder.

After all, we are all working for His Highness, so we should get along well with each other.

After saying that, Meng Huaijun quickly followed.

Liu An withdrew his hand and said helplessly: "Don't worry, Madam won't harm the master."

Liu Qi said aggrievedly: "I'm just afraid that the master will indulge in beauty."

Liu An: ...What a joke. How could a man like my master, who is capable of doing great things, be obsessed with women?

He is obviously the younger brother, but he has to worry about his older brother.

Liu An sighed, life is not easy.

At this time, in the study room.

Xie Xi sat at the desk and Lu Xiaoxiao sat next to him.

Mu Qing and Meng Huaijun sat below the two of them.

"Mu Qing, how is your injury?"

Without waiting for Mu Qing to speak, Xie Xi asked about his injuries.

Hearing this, Mu Qing stood up and said, "My master, my injuries are not serious. I have already received medicine. You don't have to worry."

"However, this time when I went out, I have already tracked down where that Young Master Wei is hiding."

"Oh?"

Xie Xi was relieved that Mu Qing was fine. He raised his eyebrows slightly and took over his words: "Tell me about it."

"They were hiding in the red-willow alley."

Mu Qing's face was slightly pale, and he reported the previous situation slowly and calmly: "In addition to Master Wei, there is also Master Zhao."

"In addition, the eldest daughter of the Li family who was taken away, Li Youbin's bride, and Su Lian'er were also there."

At that time, Mu Qing luckily tracked down Zhao Wuqian, hid in the dark, and followed Zhao Wuqian back to Hualiu Lane.

After finding out the situation, Mu Qing wanted to rush back to Luoyang Inn to inform his master of the news.

But what Mu Qing didn't expect was that as soon as he came out of Hualiu Lane, he ran into Shi Weian's guard team who were able to find that place.

Mu Qing remembered that his master wanted to win over Young Master Wei, so he turned back to inform Wei Jianqing, but he was still not fast enough. As soon as he finished speaking to Wei Jianqing, Shi Weian's guards rushed over...

Although Mu Qing's martial arts skills are very good, he can't beat four hands with two fists after all. There are too many people in the guard team, and he and Wei Jianqing are the only ones who know martial arts. Moreover, they have to protect Zhao Wuqian who doesn't know martial arts, and two weak female "hostages".

While covering Wei Jianqing and his group's departure, Mu Qing was shot by an arrow. It was Wei Jianqing who turned around and pulled him back, and only then were they able to escape the pursuit of the guards.

Afterwards, Mu Qing returned with injuries after learning where Wei Jianqing and the others would hide next.

Meng Huaijun said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect that Lord Shi would act so quickly."

"But Guard Mu Qing gained a lot from this trip. This way, the possibility of winning over Wei Jianqing is even greater..."

Xie Xi did not respond. He subconsciously glanced at Mu Qing's right arm.

Suddenly, noticing the slightly purple lips of Guard Mu Qing, who looked like he was poisoned, Xie Xi frowned and shouted with a gloomy face, "Eighteen, go get a doctor!"

"Yes, master."

Xie Shiba did not show up, but he responded.

Meng Huaijun was puzzled and looked at Xie Xi with a worried look: "But what's wrong with you, young master?"

Xie Xi: "It's not me."

"That……"

"Guard Mu Qing!"

Just as Meng Huaijun opened his mouth, he saw Guard Mu Qing standing beside him suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood and fainted on the ground, "Guard Mu Qing!?"

"He was shot by an arrow before, and the arrow must have been poisoned!"

Seeing the black blood spilled on the ground, Xie Xi stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Master Huaijun, please take Mu Qing back to his room first."

"it is good."

Meng Huaijun picked up Mu Qing and strode out of the room.

Lu Xiaoxiao was startled. After she came to her senses, she quickly got up and followed.

After taking two steps, Lu Xiaoxiao remembered that His Highness seemed to still be standing there.

Lu Xiaoxiao stopped, walked back quickly, and pulled Xie Xi along with her, saying anxiously, "Quick, husband, go check on Guard Mu Qing first."

"it is good."

……

The doctor came over quickly.

It was still the doctor from Huichuntang, but he was not the old doctor that Eighteen had invited to Chang'an Temple before.

"The poison this young master has been poisoned with is extremely strong. There is only one hour left before the poison takes effect. You should prepare for his death!"

"He will die in an hour!?"

Liu Qi couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is this possible? Doctor, you must save him!"

Xie Xi's face darkened. If the doctor had no solution, then he would have to go to Li's house to ask Shi Weian for the antidote.

"It's not that I don't want to save him, but..."

The doctor at Huichun Hall shook his head and sighed, "I really can't save him."

"My lord, you don't know that this poison is called 'Yanwang Zui'. It is said that if Yanwang wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, who can keep you alive until five o'clock? There is no antidote for this poison."

"My medical skills are not very good, so I will take my leave now."

After saying that, the doctor looked helpless. He picked up the medicine box and was about to leave.

"Wait, doctor, how about you try again?"

Liu Qi refused to give up and tried to stop the doctor.

The doctor pushed him away speechlessly: "There is no antidote for this poison. How do you want me to save you?"

Liu Qi: “…”

"Okay, Liu Qi, send the doctor away."

Since his master had spoken, Liu Qi could only reluctantly send the doctor from Huichun Hall away.

Qi An looked at the doctor's departing back and said with a worried look on his face: "Master, the doctor just said that this poison has no antidote, so..."

After a pause, Qi An continued, "Master, where did Guard Mu Qing get poisoned? I will go out and find an antidote right away!"

The Liu brothers only knew that guard Mu Qing was poisoned, and they had no idea what mission Mu Qing had gone out to carry out.

Xie Xi had a cold expression and said nothing for a while.

Xie Xi had once heard of the poison "Yanwangzui" from Ling You, the master of the Divine Doctor Valley.

"Yanwangzui" was created by Ling You's uncle. It is extremely poisonous. Anyone who is poisoned by it can only live for three hours. After three hours, the poison will cause death.

Just as the doctor from Huichuntang said just now, there is no antidote for "Yanwangzui".

Not long after Ling You's uncle developed the "Yanwangzui", he was hunted down by his enemies and fell off a cliff and died. Until his death, he was unable to develop an antidote for the "Yanwangzui".

Even Ling You couldn't research the ingredients of the antidote. However, since the death of Ling You's uncle, the poison "Yanwangzui" has been hidden in the Valley of Divine Doctors.

I don’t know how Shi Weian got the “Yanwangzui”.

Xie Xi took a deep breath, put away the thoughts in his eyes, and said: "You all go out first, Madam stay."

Liu An and Meng Huaijun looked at each other and both said, "Yes, Master."

"Yes, son."

The two left together.

The only people in the room were Mu Qing, Xie Xi and Lu Xiaoxiao, who were lying unconscious on the couch.

Lu Xiaoxiao has been very quiet since entering Mu Qing's room.

Xie Xi did not hear her thoughts. Now, when he looked up at Lu Xiaoxiao, he realized that she seemed to be in a daze?

Maybe Lu Xiaoxiao wasn't in a daze.

Xie Xi instantly thought of the "system" she had mentioned in her mind before.

"lady."

Xie Xi called out softly.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao responded subconsciously, barely collecting her thoughts, raised her round almond eyes, and stared straight at Xie Xi: "Husband, wait a moment."

[Wait a little longer, and I will have the antidote to cure the drunkenness in Guard Mu Qing's body. ]

Xie Xi originally wanted to ask for clarification, but when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's thoughts, he stopped talking.

However, Xie Xi also breathed a sigh of relief because of Lu Xiaoxiao's words.

Just now, Lu Xiaoxiao was busy bargaining with Jiujiu.

Lu Xiaoxiao heard clearly what the doctor from Huichuntang said. There was no antidote for "Yanwangzui", but Jiujiu told her that a new detoxification pill that could cure all poisons was recently launched in the points mall. It cost two hundred points per pill, but it could not cure cold poison.

But it can’t cure the cold poison?

Isn't that just targeting you on purpose?

Lu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she threatened to complain to the system.

Jiujiu was horrified and tried to persuade the host in a gentle voice, only then was the crisis of being complained about resolved.

Afterwards, the detoxification pill that originally cost two hundred points each, after Lu Xiaoxiao's unreasonable bargaining, now only costs one hundred points.

Jiujiu was so angry that he became autistic. After deducting 100 points from his host, he quickly logged off.

Lu Xiaoxiao successfully exchanged for a detoxification pill.

The detoxification pill was put into a small porcelain bottle. Lu Xiaoxiao handed the small porcelain bottle to Xie Xi and said, "My husband, this contains the detoxification pill. If you believe me, why not let Guard Mu Qing try it?"

[I finally managed to save up over a hundred points. I was originally thinking of exchanging the antidote for the cold poison for His Highness. But now, after exchanging this antidote, I only have thirty-eight points left. I don’t know when His Highness will no longer suffer from the cold poison…]

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and kept comforting herself: [Forget it, think about it carefully, spending a hundred points to save the life of Guard Mu Qing doesn't seem to be a loss? ]

[As for points, it seems that we still need to finish the trip to Jiangnan as soon as possible and complete the mission to unlock the next mission! ]

"I believe you."

If he were given a choice, he would choose to save Mu Qing first.

As for the cold poison in his body, he can still wait.

Xie Xi took the small porcelain bottle without hesitation, opened the lid, and poured out a detoxification pill inside, which still smelled of medicinal herbs.

Just smelling it gave him a sense of clarity of mind.

After stuffing the detoxification pill into Mu Qing's mouth, Xie Xi turned around and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao: "Madam, I wonder when the detoxification pill will take effect?"

Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Should it take a quarter of an hour?"

[With the antidote pill, Guard Mu Qing's life is now saved. ]

【but……】

[Huh? I seemed to notice Mu Qing's fingers moved just now? ]

Xie Xi lowered his eyes and stared at Mu Qing.

The next moment, Mu Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Lu Xiaoxiao was shocked:!!!

[What a magical medicine! I didn't expect the detoxification pill to be so effective. Guard Mu Qing woke up in less than a quarter of an hour!]

[It seems like the 100 points are worth spending? ]

Mu Qing turned his head and looked at his master, then at Lu Xiaoxiao who was standing beside him.

Mu Qing's eyes, which had always been calm, inexplicably showed a hint of confusion.

Why could he hear Lu Fengyi talking even though she didn't open her mouth?
