"Huh..." However, before Shi Zairong could breathe out smoothly, he was stunned when he heard Lin Feng's voice.
"Oh, I didn't realize you and Han Jincheng seem to have a good relationship." Shi Zairong turned around and saw Lin Feng running in at some point. Not only did he take out something from under the bed, he also opened it and read the contents without any hesitation.
Shi Zairong thought to himself that something was wrong, and rushed forward to snatch the memorial back: "Didn't you go out?"
Lin Feng pretended to be dumb and said, "Yeah, I'm also wondering, how did I get in again?"
Shi Zairong sighed softly, then simply put the memorial in his arms and said something very unconvincing: "This is really nothing to see. Let's go."
Lin Feng smiled and asked, "Why, you don't want to change your clothes?"
Shi Zairong said seriously, "Why change? A grown man changes his clothes every day!"
As Lin Feng, masked, walked down the town's streets with Shi Zairong, he couldn't help but say, "The Shengxi Gu issue is almost resolved. But as for you, judging by Han Jincheng's intentions, Xiahou Qing is planning to team up with Han Chongguang to deal with you."
Shi Zairong said that since Lin Feng had already seen the memorial, it seemed pointless for him to cover it up. It would be better to just tell him directly to save him from worrying about it. "They are too flattering me. If I didn't have the Huangfu family behind me, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths."
After hearing what Shi Zairong said, Lin Feng said that he should have noticed something when he left South Vietnam, but he didn't know what countermeasures he had thought of: "So what are you going to do now?"
Shi Zairong said helplessly, "What else can we do? Let's take it one step at a time."
For some reason, ever since he met Shi Zairong, Lin Feng had an inexplicable trust in him. He always felt that no matter what problems Shi Zairong encountered, he would always be able to find a solution in the end: "If there is anything I can help with, feel free to use me."
Shi Zairong smiled and said, "Thank you in advance. As for you, you don't plan to return to the Lin family, nor do you plan to return to Nanyue, and you certainly don't want to seek refuge in Qingliang Valley. So what are you going to do next? I'm in a difficult situation now, and I can't save myself. You can't always follow me, can you?"
Lin Feng said that he had been thinking about this problem since he brought back Lin Zhenzhen's body, and now he has a general direction: "I know that. After you finish here, I plan to go to the Northern Desert for a stroll. The scenery outside the Great Wall is really worth seeing."
When Shi Zairong thought of grasslands, the first scene that came to his mind was a scene of cattle and sheep grazing in the wind-blown grass. Galloping across the endless green sea seemed like a joyous and carefree experience. He just wondered if he'd ever have the chance to take Hong Yu with him to experience this unprecedented scenery.
"If I can still survive this battle, I will definitely invite you to the wedding banquet when Huijue and I get married. You don't need to do anything else, just give me a big red envelope. Now that we're there, let's put our own affairs aside. I don't want everyone to be thrown into disarray because of my affairs. We finally have good news, and I don't want to hear that the coach can't be saved. It will be too damaging to morale."
Lin Feng nodded and said, "I know my limits, but I didn't read it all just now. When we get back, you have to tell me the whole story."
Shi Zairong smiled and replied, "No problem. You already know everything. There's no point in hiding it anymore, right?"
By the time the two of them arrived at the northwest courtyard, Huangfu Xiong had already replaced Huangfu Bin in a chess match with Prajna. Seeing Huangfu Xiong relax was rare, and Shi Zairong couldn't help but feel a little happier. "I heard they've figured out a way to kill the Shengxi Gu, right?"
Huangfu Xiong, holding the chess piece and pondering where to place it, replied, "Well, if Uncle Ning hadn't come, we would have wasted a lot of time. After many experiments, we found that the Life and Death Gu is particularly sensitive to ginseng, especially ginseng that is aged and has strong effects."
Prajna couldn't help but interject, saying, "I heard that ginseng is similar to radish. Have you tried it?"
"..." Lin Feng and Shi Zairong were stunned after hearing Prajna's suggestion. Yes, if radish could be used instead, it would save a lot of money. Eating ginseng every day was unbearable for most people, so I wondered what the Life and Death Gu's structure was that allowed it to withstand such a high level of consumption.
Huangfu Ning, who was acting as a judge, said, "We've tried it. Although they look similar, they are still different. From now on, we just need to mix thousand-year-old ginseng into the raw meat it normally eats and wait for it to age quickly."
Shi Zairong suddenly remembered that they had discussed using this method before, but it was rejected because it took too long. Why did they suddenly change their minds? "So, it's still the same method as before, right?"
Huangfu Bin explained, "Well, after much thought, I think this method is safer. At least it won't let the people in Tianshu Tower immediately notice anything is wrong. It also won't push Xiahou Qing too far, lest he become desperate and do something outrageous again."
Shi Zairong said he had previously stated that the method was up to them; he only wanted a result. However, to achieve that result, there was still one most important question: "What about the timeline?"
Huangfu Xiong replied, "We did a rough calculation. Although it's not entirely accurate, the error won't exceed three days. Based on the current dosage, everything about the living dead will be over in two months."
Shi Zairong frowned slightly and said, "Two months seems a bit long."
Huangfu Ning also expressed his frustration. Just as Huangfu Bin had just said, in order to prevent more people from being harmed by the Shengxi Gu, after careful consideration, they had no choice but to choose this method: "There's no way to speed it up any further. And there's also a prerequisite: the ginseng we need that meets the requirements won't be out of stock during this period."
Lin Feng hurriedly asked, "How much inventory is left in the town now?"
Huangfu Ning replied, "I've already gone to see them. The military doctors said they don't have much ginseng on hand, so I'll have to ask the Grand Tutor to come up with a solution."
Huangfu Bin also said: "Actually, I wanted to go to Qingliang Valley to seek help, but I was mainly concerned about the problem with the Grand Tutor, so I didn't contact anyone I knew in Qingliang Valley."
