Chapter 134: New Guests
Chu Ci smiled slightly: "Look behind you again?"
"What? Sister-in-law, you are going to disclose the methods of making sugar, brewing wine, processing konjac and even growing it?" In the eyes of Qianxue and Qianyan, a secret recipe costing dozens of coins is just throwing money away.
Chu Ci didn't explain too much, but simply said, "These things can't be protected by the Fan family, and even the royal family may not be able to protect them. In this case, why not make life easier for the people? It will also be considered a merit on our part."
Qianxue and Qianyan knew that Chuci's worries were justified, but they always felt that they were not the real reasons.
So Qianxue tentatively asked: "Sister-in-law, if the merchant Miss asked to buy the house, would we sell it?"
"Sell it? Why not?"
What Chu Ci has to do is to spread the prescription as much as possible, and the rest is left to the creativity of the working people, who never disappoint.
When people are busy, time really flies by.
One morning, Chu Ci washed up, had breakfast, and prepared to leave for the women's college in the suburbs as usual, but was stopped by Jin Ming.
"Young Madam, the master needs to remove the poison today. Can you and Doctor Hua stay?"
Chu Ci was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Removing the Gu? Has the Gu King from Southern Xinjiang arrived?"
Jin Ming knew that Chu Ci was very busy recently, but he didn't expect that there were two more people at the dinner table, and Chu Ci didn't even notice.
His expression twisted slightly. "We arrived yesterday afternoon, but it was dark, so it was a little inconvenient to remove the Gu, so we were delayed for a while."
"Oh, okay." Since it was a matter of life and death, and Chu Ci also wanted to learn a trick or two, there was naturally no reason to refuse.
On the other side, in the room where the Purple-Robed Envoy was, the Gu King Linglong was waiting there bored.
Seeing Divine Doctor Hua and Master Chu Ci coming in, Linglong instantly shot up: "Everyone should be here, we can start now!"
Jin Ming looked towards the Fifth Prince, who was dressed in black and looked like an ordinary secret guard in the corner. Seeing the Fifth Prince nod, Jin Ming replied, "Okay."
"Then you better watch carefully." After Linglong said that, she first lay on top of the purple-clothed envoy and carefully checked his breath and pulse.
Then he attacked like lightning, sealing all the big acupuncture points on the purple-clothed man's chest.
Finally, he sat cross-legged, chanting a tune that no one else could understand.
Time passed minute by minute, and as the melody became more and more intense, cold sweat continued to break out on Zi Yi's forehead, and a certain part of his chest bulged and moved towards his throat.
"Ah!" The man in purple couldn't bear the pain and screamed. Then he saw a red worm about three inches long crawling out of his mouth.
"Ugh—" The fifth prince was so stimulated by this scene that he vomited.
Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui also felt unwell, but luckily they had previous experience and they managed to hold it in, but their faces didn't look very good.
Only Doctor Hua was not affected at all, staring at the man and the insect not far away without blinking.
Until Linglong stopped chanting and took out a bamboo bucket from her arms, the long red worm crawled into the bucket through the mouth.
Linglong nodded when she heard that.
But when he answered, he looked not at Doctor Hua, nor at Jin Ming, but at the Fifth Prince who thought he was hiding well.
"The Gu is just a minor problem for me. The hard part is dealing with his physical deficiencies. And as far as I know, you Central Plains doctors are best at regulating the internal organs. So, can I leave now?"
The Fifth Prince did not answer. "Can you tell me how you recognized me?"
However, it was just a simple question, and Linglong's alertness instantly reached its maximum. "What does the Great Zhou court want to do?"
"Eliminate all Gu women and Gu masters within the Great Zhou. Since you claim that Gu cannot leave Southern Border, then you must keep your word."
The Fifth Prince's aura was fully revealed at this moment. He stared at Linglong and said, "This is your responsibility as the Gu King."
Linglong naturally took the responsibility to subdue the traitor, but her mentality was completely different if she did it voluntarily or was forced to do it.
Linglong immediately became angry: "You plan to put me under house arrest, have you considered the consequences?"
He looked around and said, "What about you guys? Are you going to let this black guy do whatever he wants?"
Unfortunately, Linglong's calculations were wrong. There were not many opportunities to keep the Gu King with good reason.
The first to go out was Divine Doctor Hua: "This isn't about doing whatever you want, but just in case. You'd better stay until the Fifth Prince recovers."
The second person was Chu Ci. "You came so readily, isn't it because you don't want to affect the relationship between Southern Xinjiang and the Great Zhou? If so, why give up halfway?"
If Doctor Hua's words were slightly threatening, then Chu Ci's words touched Linglong's heart.
Linglong then turned her eyes and came to Chu Ci: "My name is Linglong, sister, can you tell me what your relationship with that black guy is?"
Feeling the other party's kindness, Chu Ci also imitated the other party and introduced herself: "My name is Chu Ci. You can call me Sister Chu, or just call me Chu Ci."
After introducing himself, Chu Ci paused deliberately: "As for the black guys you mentioned, we have nothing to do with them. If you insist, I can only say that we are all using our abilities to bring peace and stability to Southern Xinjiang and the Great Zhou."
"And I believe Linglong is the same." Chu Ci not only spoke highly of himself, but also praised Linglong highly.
"Okay, I'll stay. I'll handle the matter regarding the Gu worm. But the rest has nothing to do with me. Can you agree to that?"
Linglong knew that as long as the King of Shu went after the royal family of Southern Xinjiang, she would still not be able to escape, so after weighing the pros and cons, Linglong quickly made a choice.
This time Chu Ci did not answer, but turned to look at the fifth prince not far away.
The Fifth Prince knew this was the best outcome. "Okay, I'll send a letter to the court and have your request confirmed in black and white with the Southern Xinjiang royal family."
Does Linglong still have room for rebuttal?
At this point, Chu Ci's courtyard had a new guest.
The caged inmates, Chen and his son, finally moved to another place.
And thanks to the blessing of Linglong Gu King, the clam-like mouths of Chen and his son were also pried open.
Following the clues provided by the two, it was easy to uncover "Yao Qilin" and his backer. However, this backer was beyond everyone's expectations.
How can you not share such an interesting thing with someone?
So Linglong found Chuci.
"What you mean is that the fake Yao Qilin gave the stolen money to the real Yao Qilin. And the real Yao Qilin is the fake Yao Qilin's backer." Chu Ci listened to Linglong's narration and summed up a difficult truth.
Linglong nodded: "Isn't it interesting?"
Chu Ci: "It's quite interesting, but it's best if you keep such a secret to yourself."
Linglong curled her lips in disdain when she heard this: "You people of the Great Zhou are just too cunning."
