Seeing that there was no problem with the herbal medicine, Zhong Lishan looked at the envoy from Liangzhou again, tried his best to calm his emotions, and said slowly: "You General Chen sent me this herbal medicine, it should not be unconditional, right?"

The envoy from Liangzhou smiled proudly, "My lord's gift of herbs is naturally a small request."

As for what this request is, needless to say, both parties already know it well.

Zhong Lishan looked at the Liangzhou envoy's confident look, suddenly his face sank like water, and he asked in a low voice, "Your lord is not afraid that I will kill the envoy and withhold the herbs, but still support Hanzhong?"

The envoy from Liangzhou raised the corners of his lips meaningfully, "If Lord Zhongli withholds the herbal medicine and tears up his face with me in Liangzhou, isn't he afraid that Young Master will be bitten by some poisonous insects and snakes again, and he will not be able to find herbal medicine to heal him?"

So far, what else do you not understand?The reason why Zhongli Gan was poisoned this time was because of Chen Bing's manipulation!

Zhong Lishan stared at the envoy from Liangzhou with red eyes on the sharp-mouthed monkey's cheeks, wishing to eat his flesh raw, and he didn't know if he was out of breath. The pain that almost pushed his head apart a few days ago hit him again, making him almost If you can't control yourself, grab the ground with your head.

"Okay, I, Qingping Mountain, will not send troops to Hanzhong. Thank you, General Chen, for your generous gift, see you off!"

Zhong Lishan almost gritted his teeth and said the last sentence, and waved away the Liangzhou envoy.As soon as the Liangzhou envoy left, he fell directly on his back, knocking over the cups, plates and teacups on the table.

"The head of the house! What's wrong with you!" Wu Qing lost his voice and rushed forward, and Ruan Ji, Wang Da and others hurriedly surrounded him.

Although Ling Xun's anger towards Zhong Lishan hadn't dissipated, seeing this, he couldn't help becoming worried, and just as he stepped forward, Zhong Lishan grabbed his wrist.

Zhong Lishan's bloodshot eyes stared straight at Ling Xun, showing anxiety, "Brother Feng...quick, give Gan'er the antidote first..."

"Understood, I'm with Gan'er, so don't worry."

"I, I am sorry for you..."

Zhong Lishan's eyes were full of tears, and his face was haggard. This kind of scene, which was similar to dying alone, made Ling Xun feel ominous.

"Okay, what time is it, still talking about this, let Mr. Ruan show you, and I will go to Gan'er with Mr. Mu."

With just a few words, most of the rift between the two has been resolved. Now that this is the case, Ling Xun has no intention of investigating why Zhong Lishan was possessed by a ghost in the first place. He suspected the poisoning on himself. Among them, the only person Zhongli Shan wants to entrust to Zhongli Gan is him, and that's enough.

When Ling Xun was about to leave, Zhong Lishan was still holding onto him tightly, as if uneasy, Ling Xun patted him and said, "Gan'er is my only blood relative in this world, I will do my best for him", Zhong Lishan let go of his hand.

In order not to cause any mishaps, Ling Xun personally took ten-day grass to the back mountain, had Mu Jiu prescribe the decoction, and then let him feed Zhongli Gan, and then stayed by the crib in a daze.Within an hour, the effect of the medicine appeared, and the milk balls, which were not as long as the forearm of an adult man, gradually subsided, their breathing gradually stabilized, and their face changed from abnormal flushing to white, tender and rosy.

Seeing that Ling Xun was fascinated by his little nephew, Mu Jiu didn't even call "Master" a few times to bring him back to his senses, so he walked up to him and called him softly.

"Young period."

Ling Xun really reacted this time, raised his head, and looked at Mu Jiu with a bit of confusion.Also because of this confusion, his eyes shone softly in the flickering candlelight, like a quiet lake under the moonlight. Mu Jiu was slightly taken aback when he saw it, and then tried to restrain the turmoil in his heart.

"I'm sorry for my sister." Ling Xun sighed, then leaned back to the side of Zhongli Gan's little bed, and gently hooked the other's little hand out of the sleeve with his index finger. "Even if Zhong Lishan is careless, as an uncle, I should take good care of him and not let him suffer. I am suspected by Zhong Lishan, so what right do I have to be angry?"

"There is only one thousand days to be a thief, and there is no one thousand days to guard against a thief. The world is difficult and dangerous, and negligence is inevitable. Fortunately, there is no danger this time. As long as we are vigilant in the future, we can be prepared for any danger. My lord, you don't have to be too harsh on yourself."

Ling Xun raised the corners of his lips slightly, and glanced at Mu Jiu, "You can comfort people."

Mu Jiu closed his eyes and cupped his hands, "What I said is the truth."

Ling Xun especially likes to see Mu Jiu's respectful appearance. Every time he sees him so serious, he can't help but have the urge to strip his clothes off, so he deliberately teases: "If you want to make me feel better, call me more." How many times can I say 'young period'?"

Mu Jiu raised his eyes to look at Ling Xun, his eyes seemed to have penetrating power, but he blushed at the hooligan first, and looked away a little uncomfortably.

"What do you think Zhong Lishan thinks, he really suspects that I poisoned Gan'er?" Ling Xun coughed pretending to be serious, intentionally changing the subject.He was looking for something to say, and he didn't care about the misunderstanding with Zhong Lishan, but Mu Jiu pondered for a moment with a serious expression, and said something that he didn't expect.

"Have you noticed, my lord, that Mr. Zhongli's headaches are not normal during this time?"

Ling Xun shuddered, "What do you mean? You mean someone deliberately harmed him?"

Mu Jiu didn't go into it, but said, "Sometimes, a headache can easily make people confused."

Thinking back carefully, Ling Xun felt that Zhong Lishan did often rub his temples recently, as if he was trying his best to endure something. It can be seen that this headache is not unique to today, but he has never heard of Zhong Lishan having this problem before.If it is said that his recent moodiness and impatience are related to this headache problem, and this problem is caused by human beings, then it is obvious that the people who harmed Zhong Lishan really wanted to provoke the relationship between him and Ling Xun.

"That's not right." Ling Xun shook his head, "Even if you have a headache and your mind is really confused, you can't just doubt me."

Mu Jiu took a deep look at Ling Xun, "My lord still doesn't understand?"

"Huh? What are you trying to say?"

"When a person is suffering from illness, his will is the weakest, and he will often show his deepest thoughts."

"So you're saying that Zhong Lishan really thinks I'll harm Gan'er?"

"That's not necessarily true, but it's enough to show that deep down in his heart, he is already afraid of the lord."

Ling Xun didn't want to believe it, and shook his head again and again, "What do I have to make him afraid?"

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers." Mu Jiu only said six words, but each word was like a heavy stone.

This time Ling Xun stopped talking. Ever since he came to Qingping Mountain, some Qingping Mountain bandits headed by Wu Qing have not been very friendly to him. He knows why.

"But brother Zhongli and I are brothers...how could he think that I would rob him of his inheritance?"

Mu Jiu shook his head, "In the face of authority, brothers and sisters can still kill each other."

Ling Xun was silent for a long time, finally sighed, nodded and said: "I understand, when the dust in Hanzhong is settled, we will leave Qingping Mountain. It's just that I don't feel relieved to leave before this matter is over."

While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door suddenly, but it was Mu Jiu's little boy who said sincerely that, as usual, he came to deliver food to Mu Jiu.

When Ling Xun saw Jinyan, it was like seeing a savior, "Come here, I just happened to be hungry too, and I haven't eaten all night."

"Knowing that my lord and my husband didn't use dinner, I specially asked someone to get some more." Jin Yan said while helping to arrange the dishes, "By the way, I saw Mr. Yue just now, but he didn't let anyone report it."

Ling Xun was taken aback, "Ming Xuan is here too? What is he doing here?"

Replied sincerely: "I just said that I want to come here to see the legendary rare herbs."

Ling Xun wondered, "The ten-day grass has been boiled with medicinal soup, where can he go to see it?"

"It's in the kitchenette."

When Ling Xun went out, he saw Yue Qing walking out leisurely waving his fan, and Fang Ke was following him with a medicine jar in his arms.

"Mingxuan, what are you doing?" Ling Xun called to stop them.

Yue Qing glanced back at Ling Xun, and said casually: "I heard that ten-day grass is the rarest herb in the world, how can I do it if I don't know it?"

Ling Xun glanced at the medicine jar in Fang Ke's arms, and said hesitantly, "There are at least dozens of herbs here, all of which have been boiled to scum..."

"That's why I have to take it back with the jar. I'll pour out the medicine residue and pick it out slowly." Yue Qing said it as a matter of course.

At this time, Mu Jiu also followed, and just heard Yue Qing's words, so he couldn't help but glance at him more.

Yue Qing politely saluted Mu Jiu, said "Farewell", and led Fang Ke again, walking away with Fang Bu shaking.

Ling Xun was puzzled, "What does he want the ten-day herb medicine residue for? Isn't it because he is afraid of being bitten by a poisonous snake in the future, so he will leave some life-saving medicine first?"

"Shopkeeper Yue has his own way of doing things. Maybe there is some use for the dregs of the ten-day herb." Mu Jiu's expression was indifferent as if he didn't care, but there was a slight frown between his brows.

Yue Qing went back to his residence, found a few attendants with a little understanding of medical science, and ordered them to separate out the remaining medicine residues in the medicine jar one by one. He was in a very good mood, and even grabbed beans and fed them to the fast growing ball. white starling.

"Fang Ke, do you think there really are white mynahs in this world?" Yue Qing and the fat white mynah looked at each other with smiles for a while, and asked this way, the white mynah seemed to feel insulted, flapped its wings twice, and rushed at Yue Qing. "Bah" sounded.

Fang Ke looked at mynah, then at Yue Qing, thinking that shopkeeper Yue was playing some kind of riddle today, obviously there was a white mynah in front of him, but he didn't dare to say this slander, so he could only Obediently said: "Although white starlings are rare, they should still exist in the world, otherwise what is this one in front of us?"

Yue Qing didn't reply for a while, as if he didn't hear Fang Ke's words.

"By the way, did you find the starling I asked you to look for two days ago?" Yue Qing asked suddenly.

"Well, I found it." A few days ago, Yue Qing suddenly asked them to find an ordinary starling. Fang Ke didn't understand why the shopkeeper only had eye contact with this kind of bird, but he dutifully brought it for him.

"Where is it, let me see." Yue Qing asked Fang Ke to take him to see it. When Fang Ke handed him the bird cage, Yue Qing looked around the bird cage as if he had never seen a starling before. After looking down, he nodded in praise at the end: "That's right, this is myna."

The white and fat starling seemed to feel its dignity being trampled on, it shrank its neck and buried its head under its wings, pointing its butt at Yue Qing.

"Master Yue, the medicinal residues have been divided." At this time, the attendants who distributed the medicinal residues had completed their task and came to report.

Yue Qing went over to check, and saw that different medicinal residues had been separated into small piles and spread out on the table.He looked at it for a while, picked a bunch of them, grabbed a handful, and threw it directly into the bird food box of the gray starling.

Little Gray Mynah didn't know why, so he slowly moved closer to the food box, tentatively pecked it, seemed to think that the medicine dregs tasted good, and started eating bit by bit with his little head like he was pecking at rice.

Satisfied, Yue Qing smiled and said to the starling, "The hard-to-find herbs are really cheap for you, so eat them well and don't waste them."
