For some ulterior reasons, Yuan Xi has always been displeased with Mu Jiu, and has always been skeptical of Mu Jiu's appearance by Ling Xun's side.However, after a long time, he watched Mu Jiu's various measures after he came to Qingping Mountain with cold eyes, and he was indeed planning for Ling Xun, so he tried his best to let go of his prejudice.

Once by chance, the two were cooking wine and chatting in the pavilion, and Yuan Xi pretended to inadvertently ask him how to solve his current predicament.

Because of being framed by his elder brother Yuan Xin and his poor supervision, the eighteen counties of Jingzhou were flooded. Yuan Xi had no choice but to leave Jingzhou and follow Ling Xun to seek refuge in Qingping Mountain.

Originally, it was a dispensable temptation, and he didn't expect to get any useful reply. Unexpectedly, Mu Jiu told him without thinking at that time, as long as he waited for two more months, things would definitely turn around.

Yuan Xigang was skeptical at first, but two months later, he received a secret report from his close aide that his father, Yuan Xiang, took the initiative to resign from the imperial court, resigned from the post of Inspector of Jingzhou, crossed Jiangdong, and became the admiral of Yangzhou's navy.Yuan Xi had no choice but to put down his dignity, and went to look for Mu Jiu again, wanting to know how Mu Jiu anticipated this change, but Mu Jiu didn't explain to him, only said: "In less than a month, your lord will definitely call you back. Jiangdong, the young master just needs to wait here."

In fact, ever since he found out that his father was transferred to Jiangdong, Yuan Xi already had a solid foundation in his heart, because his maternal ancestral family has a deep foundation in Jiangdong. If his father wants to make plans in Jiangdong, he must win over his ancestral family, so he must treat himself kindly. .But my father did a good job as an assassin in Jingzhou, why did he suddenly go to Jiangdong?Even if he went to Jiangdong, he wanted to call himself back, why now?Three months, this time is too accurate, as if all of this was designed by Mu Jiu himself.

Could it be that the formation master has the ability to understand the future?

From then on, Yuan Xi finally convinced Mu Jiu, and planned to find an opportunity to humbly ask him for advice.

He read his father's family letter twice again, and made sure that there was nothing missing. Yuan Xi was about to get up to take a shower and go to bed when he heard a woman's scream outside.

When Zhong Lishan rushed into the small courtyard in the back mountain, he met the nanny running out in a hurry, followed by the distraught mother Liu. When the two women saw Zhong Lishan, they immediately stood there with pale faces.

"Liu Ma, what's the matter, what happened?" Zhong Lishan's voice was hoarse because of the extreme tension.

"Head of the house, young master, he...he..."

Zhong Lishan was not in the mood to listen any longer, and rushed to Zhongli Gan's crib in a few steps, only to see his son's face was flushed, his lips were tightly closed, his breathing was rapid, and his young body seemed to be still faintly twitching.Zhong Lishan was dumbfounded, and touched his son's forehead, it was so hot.

"Xiao Gan, does he have a fever? Why don't you call the doctor? Ruan Ji? Where is Ruan Ji! Hurry and call Mr. Ruan!" Zhong Lishan yelled.

Wu Qing followed in, seeing that the child only had a fever, she couldn't help but feel relieved, and said to Liu Ma and the nanny at the door: "Young master only has a fever, what the hell are you calling?"

Mama Liu and the nanny looked at each other with strange expressions, then looked at the crib, and moved forward hesitantly.The nanny even tentatively stretched her hand close to Zhongli Gan's mouth and nose, as if to check if he was breathing.

Zhong Lishan's expression froze, he firmly grabbed the nurse's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

The nanny wailed in pain, and when she finally pulled her hand back, a few red fingerprints were left on her wrist, and she fell to the ground in fright.Liu Ma hurriedly stepped forward to help her, looked at Zhongli Gan's face again, seemed to confirm something, and then said to Zhong Lishan: "Master, don't blame the nanny, just now, just now, the young master's breath is indeed gone, and his body is gone." It was also cold and we were terrified..."

"Fart! My Gan'er is fine, why can't I not breathe!" Zhong Lishan was really annoyed, looking at his angry eyes, he guessed that if the person standing in front of him was not a woman, he would almost beat him up.

Mama Liu cried in anxiety; "We don't know what's going on, but I really didn't breathe just now..."

At this moment, Ling Xun had already arrived, and he heard Liu Ma's words before entering the door. He ran to Zhongli Gan's side to take a good look, seeing that the child's body temperature was abnormally high, and he couldn't care less about the whole story. Busily turned back to find Mu Jiu.

Mu Jiu came with him and just entered the door at this time. He only exchanged a look with Ling Xun and understood his meaning. He walked to Zhongli Gan and checked his pulse.

"Huaifeng is a formation master, and he knows a little bit about medical principles. Let him show Gan'er." Ling Xun explained to Zhonglishan.

Zhong Lishan was still worried, so he asked someone to invite Ruan Ji over again.

A needle can be heard in the room, and there is only the crackling of the flames, and everyone holds their breath.Mu Jiu checked the pulse for a while, and then checked Zhongli Gan's body, and noticed two extremely small red spots on his soft and white wrist.

"How is it?" Ling Xun asked impatiently.

Mu Jiu frowned, turned around and asked Liu Ma: "Just now you said that the young master was not breathing?"

Liu Ma was afraid of Zhonglishan, so she didn't dare to say any more, but she knew that it was about Zhongligan's safety, and she had to report the illness truthfully, so she nodded and said affirmatively, "It's true that I didn't breathe just now, and my body was cold."

Mu Jiu nodded, with a more dignified expression. "I hope I made a wrong diagnosis. Let's wait for Third Master Ruan to come and see. He knows more about poisonous insects and plants."

When everyone heard this, their faces changed suddenly.

Zhong Lishan asked: "Poisonous insects? Are you saying that Gan'er does not have a normal fever?"

Mu Jiu just shook his head, "I can't make a conclusion yet."

Ruan Ji came panting with his goatee on his head, he had already heard the general explanation from the little bandit who sent him the news on the way, so he didn't talk nonsense, and went to Zhongli Gan's side for treatment as soon as he arrived, and he took more time than Mu Jiu After a while, when Liu Ma and Mu Jiu were asked the same question, her complexion became more and more ugly.

"Gan'er was poisoned by the ten-day grass!"

At this time, many people came to the small courtyard in the back mountain, and the screams of Mama Liu and the nanny directly stirred up the whole Qingping Mountain. The "decana" stuff.

Ling Xun looked back at Mu Jiu, Mu Jiu nodded, apparently agreeing with Ruan Ji, and explained: "Ten sun grass is not a herbal medicine, but a poisonous snake, because the only herb in the world that can detoxify it is called ten sun grass , hence the name."

Ruan Ji frowned and shook his head, puzzled: "This ten-day grass is only found in Tanlang Country, how could it be here?"

However, Zhong Lishan was not interested in those things, and only asked: "Where can I find the antidote for the ten-day herb?"

Sadness appeared in Ruan Ji's eyes, "Ten sun plants are extremely rare. People who have seen ten sun plants in this world can count them with a single slap. If you ask me where to find them, how would I know?"

Zhong Lishan grabbed Ruan Ji's skirt, "What do you mean by that?"

Ruan Ji didn't resist, let Zhong Lishan shake, but shook his head weakly.

"If I can't find it, what should I do? What will happen to Gan'er?" Ling Xun's voice was very soft, but his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. The huge panic almost swallowed him. Imagine how he would explain to the dead Lingshu if something happened to him.

This is the only continuation of his sister's blood in this world.

"The poison of ten-day grass is known as the most strange poison in the world, just because of being bitten by this snake, if the antidote is found within ten days, the poisoned body will not only not be damaged, but will benefit from it. Cold, strong and not easily infected by the plague. But if you can't find an antidote..." There is no need to explain the following words, everyone already knows what it means.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could Gan'er be poisoned like this?" Zhong Lishan lost control of his emotions and kept repeating this sentence.

Seeing him like this, Ling Xun forced himself to cheer up and comforted him, "It's not that there are still ten days left, but I can always find a way."

Zhong Lishan stared blankly at his son, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the face.

"Master! What are you doing!" Wu Qing rushed over to stop Zhong Lishan.

"I'm sorry for Xiaozhen..." Zhong Lishan clenched his fists a little bit, his expression extremely painful, but when he suddenly raised his eyes, his whole aura changed, and there was a chilling sharpness in his eyes, "I'm sorry for Xiaozhen, Live in a daze, let our son be counted!"

When everyone heard this, they all felt palpitations.

Hearing Zhong Lishan's words, he was obviously saying that someone did this on purpose, and it was absolutely impossible to be an accident.

It is indeed unlikely to be an accident. How could a poisonous snake that can only be found in the greedy wolf country of the Western Regions appear in Qingping Mountain?And how could Zhongli Gan be bitten?

For a while, no one dared to speak, Zhong Lishan seemed to come back to life suddenly, swept away the depression after Lingshu's death, and resumed the killing method of the bandit leader, first sent someone to spread the news that Qingpingshan wanted a lot of money to buy herbal medicine "Ten Days Grass", another group of people was selected to secretly go to Tanlang Country, and after everything was arranged, they called Liu Ma and Nanny to him with a gloomy face for questioning.

"Little son has been taken care of by the two of you, how did he get bitten by a snake?"

That nanny is just an ordinary peasant woman in the village at the foot of Qingping Mountain. Where has she seen such a battle?Facing the murderous bandit leader, he was immediately too frightened to speak.It was Liu Ma who calmed down and told the whole story carefully.

"Young master will never leave people around. The nanny and I take turns to take care of him. Even before the accident happened to the young master, I was always in the house."

Ling Xun asked Ruan Ji: "Master Ruan, do you know how long it takes for the poison of the ten-day grass to develop after being bitten?"

Ruan Ji said: "The ten-day grass is very poisonous, and it will attack immediately after being bitten."

Everyone understood why Ling Xun asked this question, he wanted to use this to judge when the person who murdered Zhongli Gan did it.Since the ten-day herb's toxicity is immediate, it means that the murderer is acting tonight.

Mama Liu said urgently: "But I have never been half a step away from the young master!"

Liu Ma and Ling Shu had a deep relationship, Zhong Lishan was still polite to him, and tried his best to calmly say: "Then did you ever notice? Even if you stay in the room, it is impossible to look at Gan'er with good eyes."

Liu Ma thought about it carefully, and suddenly her expression changed, "I, I seem to have taken a nap in the middle, and it only took a quarter of an hour..."

One quarter of an hour.

Ling Xun frowned slightly, a quarter of an hour was enough time for one person to release a poisonous snake.From this, it can be seen that the person who set the snake up to murder Zhongli Gan was on Qingping Mountain, and appeared in the area around the back mountain at that time.

Who exactly?To do such a cruel thing to a baby in swaddling!
