C69 (2/2)
Qiao Liangjin shook her head and said, ”I didn't make this. My medicine is only poppy.”
When Lee Yanyi heard this, he became a bit anxious. He repeatedly kowtowed and said, ”Please, miss, save me! My body is both painful and itchy. I feel extremely uncomfortable.”
Qiao Liangjin opened her palm and said helplessly: ”I didn't use this poison, I had no choice but to understand the poison that I poisoned myself. General Li Geng, that person with the golden mask …” Is it him? ”
Upon hearing these words, Li Zhenyi's entire body shuddered, and he fell to the ground as soft as a pile of mud.
He had already reached this point, but because it was still useful, Su Chen and Qiao Lianjin let him go. The mighty General of Water also let him go because he had also done so.
However, he had forgotten about the golden-masked man who was even more dangerous than the person in front of him.
Qiao Liangjin scratched the back of her ear. She suddenly became interested in this man with the golden mask. If he poisoned her, then she would try to detoxify him. She had to deal with that man. Who told him to want to kill his brother?
For a while, she even suspected that the person wearing the golden mask was the emperor, but when she thought about the days when the emperor didn't have time to leave Sheng Cheng, she wondered if it was due to the letter beside the emperor.
Looking at the clouds in the sky, Qiao Liangjin kept speculating on her thoughts. She almost forgot that there was a heavily injured Li Zhiru kneeling in front of him.
Only when the purple smoke behind her lightly pushed Qiao Liangjin's shoulder did she stop her thoughts and lower her head to say to Li Yizhi, ”Okay, I've decided to save you. From today onwards, don't leave my yard.”
As if he had received an amnesty, Li Yinshi once again kneeled down, kowtowing three times in succession.
After the purple smoke settled the 'Li' character, Qiao Liangjin rolled up her sleeves and looked up at the sky. It was unknown what she was thinking until his eyes started to ache. Only then did she close his eyes and started to regain her composure.
It was time to pay a visit to the mighty General Shui.
Qiao Liangjin was carrying the fox as she led Bai out of the door. Before she could walk out of the alley, a man dressed in embroidered colorful clothes blocked her path.
Qiao Liangjin's gaze slightly retreated and she sighed: ”Nanli, why didn't you leave?”
With a proud expression, Nan Li said, ”I told my sister that I'd come looking for you. She'll go looking for the Seventh Prince. If we split up, we'd definitely succeed.”
Qiao Liangjin felt like laughing as she watched Nan Li laugh, but she also felt bored. She could only see him as nothing and walk around him.
Nan Li scratched his head and quickly gave chase. He casually shook his robe and asked: ”Are my clothes not too eye-catching today? ”It's usually black and cyan, and from the looks of it, you seem to like it a lot.”
Qiao Liangjin glared at him and gave a cold snort. ”You're being too effective.”
Nan Li froze where he was. He had never heard of this before, but it didn't feel good.
He quickly chased after him and asked: ”What do you mean by 'to be effective in the first place'? I've never heard of it. ”
Stopping in her tracks, she said in a single breath: ”There used to be an ugly girl called EastShi who wore whatever she saw with a beautiful woman called Xi Shi. In fact, she didn't look so ugly like she wanted to learn other people's heartache.”
With that, he strode towards the general's residence.
It left Nan Li standing dumbly on the spot. After a moment of reflection, he suddenly shouted: ”Alright! You stupid girl, you actually call me ugly!”
Qiao Liangjin arrived at the general's manor. She had already seen her housekeeper several times, so he quickly brought her into the manor.
When the mighty general heard that Qiao Liangjin had arrived, he also dragged his body to the front hall.
Qiao Liangjin looked at the extremely weak General Martial. ”My daughter Qiao Liangjin greets the General.”
General Wei looked at the girl before him and praised her, ”Although I didn't see Jin'er last night, I've heard about Jin'er's behavior, just like a manly man.”
Qiao Liangjin smiled and sat on a chair near the door.
The mighty general then asked, ”Are you going to sneak out this time? Is Ruoying still alive? ”
”Yes.”
”Jin'er is such a hero.”
Qiao Liangjin only smiled. She wasn't that good at socializing, she was good at talking nonsense.
After a moment of silence, both of them waited for the other to speak.
”General Wei, I have something to ask you. When were you placed under house arrest? Who placed him under house arrest? According to your martial arts, there are very few people in this empire who can threaten you. ” Qiao Liangjin asked straightforwardly.
”That day when I was training, there was only a errand boy guarding the door. I only smelled a strange fragrance and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, my acupoints had already been sealed and thrown into the water prison. It should have been more than three months since then. ” The mighty general answered truthfully.
Qiao Liangjin suddenly laughed softly when she heard the last sentence: ”I wonder how long this person has known the old general, to actually be able to imitate you so vividly.”
General Wei looked at the steward standing by the door and coughed softly. ”That's right. I'm curious as well. How come so many people didn't notice?”
