In a flash, Su Qingning and Xiao Huaishuo took a deep breath and flew towards the simple mud house not far away.

“Bang—”

Xiao Huaishuo protected Su Qingning behind him and took the lead in kicking open the locked wooden door.

A foul smell and dust hit my face, and I saw a dozen skinny men with pale faces lying in the dark room.

"Medicine... give me medicine... please, I can't hold it any longer."

“Wuwuwu… It hurts… It hurts so much, please save me.”

These men were soaked in sweat, and their faces showed expressions of extreme pain.

Some curled up and rolled on the ground, some punched the wall, and some even banged their heads against the ground violently in an attempt to relieve the pain inside.

Su Qingning knew at a glance that these people were all infected with Fu Shou Cream, but she didn't know why they were all locked up here.

She quickly knocked out a man who was about to have his head broken and bloody. Looking around, she didn't understand what the plot clues Xiao Ai was talking about were.

The two Xiao brothers were frightened and rushed towards a man who was half-lying in the corner.

"Brother?!"

The two of them exclaimed in unison.

After seeing the birthmark on the boy's neck, she was even more surprised and happy.

"Is this... really Brother 꺶?"

"Brother...Brother, why are you here? Brother, how are you?"

At this moment, both of them saw clearly the miserable condition of the person in front of them, and they all trembled involuntarily.

The second brother Xiao Lingqiu didn't care that the man was smelly and dirty, and he held him in his arms without hesitation, and used his arm to support his head so that he could sleep more comfortably.

Xiao Huaishuo hurriedly held his hand and transferred his true energy into his body.

"Ningning, come and see how Brother is doing?"

Xiao Huaishuo's voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of anxiety and worry.

It was the first time that Su Qingning saw him so frightened.

Knowing that although the brothers often quarreled, they actually had a very deep relationship, she hurried over to check the man's pulse.

It is truly rare that these two brothers could recognize Xiao Yanchu at the first moment.

The man who was now curled up in the arms of his second brother Xiao Lingqiu had dark eyes and no blood on his lips. He was so thin that only skin and bones were left.

His condition was obviously the most serious in the room, yet he appeared to be the most patient and calm.

Although it would be extremely painful for the drug to take effect, he gritted his teeth, hugged his knees tightly with both hands, and huddled himself together, trying his best to suppress his restlessness and not make any sound.

Su Qingning secretly admired Xiao Yanchu's endurance, and raised his head to the two Xiao brothers and said:

"His condition is indeed very serious. He has many serious internal and external injuries that have not yet healed, and he has been infected with the longevity cream. Moreover, he has been taking the longevity cream longer than City Lord Zhu."

"But don't worry, I can save him."

call--

Su Qingning could feel the tension in the two Xiao brothers' bodies being relieved, and they looked at her with gratitude.

She took out a few withdrawal-aiding pills and gave them to Xiao Yanchu along with the spiritual spring water, and then fed him the remaining spiritual spring water.

Seeing that the pain on his face had obviously eased a lot, he knew that the medicine had taken effect. He took out a clean basin and handkerchief and instructed:

"Second brother, help Brother No. 1 up and let him sit against the wall. Help him clean his body. I want to give him acupuncture."

"Oh, okay."

The second brother Xiao Lingqiu was very concerned about his brother's injury, but he didn't understand why Su Qingning suddenly turned out such a basin.

Everyone in this room was infected with the Fushou Cream. Su Qingning couldn't turn a blind eye to it, so he immediately took out a few bottles of medicine and a few water bags of spiritual spring water and asked Xiao Huaishuo to give them to these people.

Xiao Huaishuo worked very efficiently. Not only did he quickly calm down the restless people, he also moved all the people who had fallen asleep after taking the medicine to another room.

In order to prevent these people from waking up early, they might accidentally overhear their conversation.

Here, the second brother Xiao Lingqiu wiped half of Xiao Yanchu's body clean as Su Qingning said, and also disinfected his body partially.

Then, as Su Qingning waved his sleeves, dozens of silver needles flew out and accurately pierced into multiple acupuncture points on Xiao Yanchu's body.

The silver needles stayed on his body for two quarters of an hour before Su Qingning waved his sleeves again and took all the silver needles back.

At this time, Xiao Yanchu's face gradually turned red, and the dark blue color on his forehead that was originally faintly visible gradually faded away.

Su Qingning heaved a long sigh of relief, bandaged all the external injuries on his body, took out a set of clean clothes from the space and asked his second brother Xiao Lingqiu to change him, then slowly stood up.

"Brother's condition is very serious. I am currently helping him control his injuries. If he wants to fully recover, he will probably need two to three months of rest."

"And those who have been infected with Fu Shou ointment must stay with me for more than a month to receive treatment if they want to recover completely."

The medicinal properties of this Fushou Paste are no joke. Even in today's technologically advanced world, people need to be isolated and weaned from it, let alone in ancient times.

"Yes, there are also City Lord Zhu and those in the city who are addicted to the Fushou Cream. However, those rich brothers have a lot of money, so if they want to ask our Ningning to treat their illnesses, they have to pay for it themselves."

Xiao Huaishuo nodded and added.

He now truly realized the huge harm of Fu Shou Gao. There were not many people harmed by Fu Shou Gao now. If they did not stop it, sooner or later, the people would be harmed by Fu Shou Gao, and their lives would be affected.

But he couldn't bear to see his wife busy all day, so naturally he would slaughter her hard when he could.

Su Qingning stood at the door and looked around the luxuriously decorated cottage. Suddenly, an idea came to him and he asked:

"Does this valley have an owner?"

"Yes, you have seen it just now, but I have killed it."

The one who answered her was her second brother Xiao Lingqiu.

Knowing that his brother was no longer in danger, he reverted to his rebellious self.

Su Qingning: …

Xiao Lingqiu knew what Su Qingning was planning, and snorted:

"These lands should have belonged to the old emperor, but now the country is falling apart. Who will still listen to the old emperor?"

"If you have some power, you can find a good place to rule the country. It just so happens that my brother needs to recuperate. If you like this place, we can stay here temporarily."

"If anyone dares to disobey, I will beat him until he disobeys."

Su Qingning: …

As we all know, the dead cannot express their disapproval.

Seeing Xiao Lingqiu's attitude, she immediately suspected that if anyone dared to shout, he would just cut off the person's neck.

Xiao Huaishuo looked at the terrain near the village and nodded:

"Ningning has a good eye. I think this cottage is good."

"The terrain here is secluded and surrounded by mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are thousands of acres of fertile land to the north of the mountain stronghold that can be used for planting, and hundreds of acres of flat land to the south that can be used for martial arts training. It is indeed suitable for us to recuperate here."

Of course, there is another reason that everyone knows.

The 200,000 soldiers and horses in Qiannan Territory ostensibly belong to the imperial court, but in fact they all come from the Xiao family.

In addition, the second elder brother Xiao Lingqiu and the second elder brother Xiao Yanchu have been following their father to the southern border to guard the border all year round, and they are already familiar with the interpersonal network and terrain deployment in the southern border.

If the old emperor was the nominal ruler of the southern region, the Xiao family was the de facto local emperor of the southern region.

If they hadn't fallen out before, the Xiao family would still have been obsessed with the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and would never have endured the various difficulties posed by the old emperor, eventually allowing the emperor to take advantage of the situation and unite with Beili and Nanjiang to push the Xiao family into an abyss of no return.

For example, when the situation becomes chaotic as it is today, whoever has the stronger fist will have the right to speak.

In order to protect your family, you must build up your strength and become strong first.

Therefore, Xiao Huaishuo wanted to stay in Yong'an City and once again bring all the 200,000 troops in the southern border under his command.

"Well, then..."

Su Qingning was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of Xiao Yanchu, who was lying flat on the ground, moving.

"puff--"

Xiao Yanchu's chest heaved violently, and as soon as he opened his eyes he spat out a mouthful of dark black blood.

Xiao Lingqiu was frightened and quickly helped him up, patting Xiao Yanchu's back.

"Brother! How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?!"

"Sister-in-law, come and take a look! What's wrong with my brother?!"
