Chapter 334: Your Majesty, are you going to kill us?

Dugu Tianxin looked at Jiujiu's eyes and couldn't help wanting to believe it, because he had lived so long and had some vision, and knew how to judge people. However, he had never seen someone of Jiujiu's age with such eyes.

"Okay, I believe you." I believe that she will try her best to save Dijiang and will never give up until she achieves her goal.

"But, believing is one thing, and me having to go with you is another."

"I'll go with you."

As for those three old foxes, it seemed that only if he went there could he get the medicine from them.

"No." Jiujiu reminded: "Your Excellency is too concerned and distracted. Do you think you are needed for government affairs? Now that His Majesty and I have been assassinated, the assassin must be eyeing the Southern Kingdom and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. Your Excellency needs to stay to stabilize the government and appease the people."

Dugu Tianxin understood all this, but he felt that nothing was more important than his only grandson.

Even if the Southern Kingdom was destroyed, it would not be more important than his grandson's life.

"But."

"Sir, don't say but." Jiujiu reminded again, "We are going to find medicine. If we want to avoid being pursued by the enemy and seek medicine with peace of mind, we also need to rely on you, sir."

"So, sir, you must stay." Jiujiu was very serious and was not joking. Dugu Tianxin was really needed in the rear.

And in the current situation, only Dugu Tianxin can keep things stable.

Dugu Tianxin looked at Dijiang, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "...Okay."

"Girl, I heard your nickname is Jiujiu, can I call you Jiujiu?"

Jiujiu nodded.

"Jiujiu, Jiang'er is in your hands now."

"I will help you stabilize the situation in the court, and then investigate the assassins and suspicious people hidden in the city."

"Two days. I will finish everything within two days and come to find you."

Dugu Wan gave Jiujiu the addresses of the three people who had been dismissed from office, and then hurried to deal with the affairs of the court.

His confidant Lao Yu, after solemnly saying "please" to Jiujiu, followed him.

Jiujiu and Dijiang immediately set out to look for the three adults outside the city.

Chu Yang also came back, covered in blood and with a wound on his back, which needed urgent treatment. But when he heard that he needed to take Di Jiang to seek medicine and there were only three days left, he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly called the people to escort Jiu Jiu and Di Jiang out of the city overnight to seek medicine in the countryside outside the city.

When we arrived at the countryside outside the city, it was already the end of the Chou hour.

The group found an empty house to settle down, took a short rest and washed up, and as soon as the sun rose, they began to visit the three adults.

The three gentlemen had a good relationship when they were officials in the court. Even after they were dismissed from office, their relationship was still good.

They all returned to Mr. Zhou's hometown with their families and lived together, working from sunrise to sunset.

The three of them gathered together, which saved Jiujiu from having to travel too much.

Chu Yang is guarding Di Jiang.

After asking around, Jiujiu found Mr. Zhou alone and asked him for medicine.

When Lord Zhou first saw Jiujiu, he asked in a friendly manner, "Little girl, where are you from? You don't look like someone from our village. Are you lost?"

Jiujiu said: "I'm not lost."

"I'm here to ask for medicine."

"Ask for medicine?" Zhou Yuanyou, who was carrying a hoe and about to hoe the field, looked at Jiujiu with alertness. What medicine did she come here to ask for? Could it be his baby?

As expected, Jiujiu said, "Yes, please give me medicine. I am willing to spend a thousand gold coins to buy one third of the Jade Rong root that you have treasured, sir."

When Zhou Yuanyou heard about Yuronggen, he waved his hands and said in a very unfriendly manner: "No, girl, go look for it somewhere else."

After Zhou Yuanyou finished speaking, he picked up his hoe and hurried away as if hiding from Jiujiu, without even looking back.

Jiujiu wanted to say something, but he yelled, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, you bastard..."

Jiujiu: “…”

After Zhou Yuanyou left, he did not go to the fields to hoe as usual, but went to the home of his good friend Shi Ziyan.

He told Shi Ziyan about his chance encounter with Jiujiu. After that, he said uneasily, "Brother Shi, do you think that girl was sent by His Majesty?"

"She pretended to ask for medicine, but she actually wanted to take advantage of us?" Zhou Yuanyou was worried. "I didn't expect that even after we were dismissed from office, His Majesty would not let us go."

"Brother Zhou, don't be anxious." Shi Ziyan stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said, "If His Majesty wants to kill us, he can just send secret guards to assassinate us. There is no need to waste all this effort."

"Besides, we have retreated bravely and are no longer a threat to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this."

"He must be just an ordinary person who wants medicine! He came to you to ask for help in order to save others."

"Then I won't give it to you." Zhou Yuanyou said, pulling up his sleeves and looking at the red line on his wrist. The red line kept spreading upwards. The doctor said that if it spread to his heart, he would die.

He couldn't bear to die yet.

"I'm keeping this medicine for my own detoxification! I won't give it to anyone else."

"That girl, it's useless for you to beg me."

After Zhou Yuanyou was dismissed from office, he was poisoned for unknown reasons, and no one knew who had poisoned him. Over the years, he has been tortured by the poison and has never had a good day, which has also caused his wife and children to worry.

His only wish to stay alive now is to detoxify as soon as possible and live a comfortable life for a few days.

"Yes, you still need to detoxify yourself!" Shi Ziyan said, "Don't get carried away and give the medicine to others."

"Be especially careful with young girls, beware of them seducing you." Shi Ziyan joked.

"You old fool, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Yuanyou angrily picked up a hoe and hit him, "My hair is all white, and my grandson is about to get married. How can I be seduced? Am I such a shameless old man? Ha."

"You have never had any moral integrity." Shi Ziyan teased with a grin.

"You have no moral integrity."

"How dare you scold me?"

The two old brothers started fighting each other, but they were just making noises and didn't really fight.

After making enough noise, Zhou Yuanyou went to the fields to hoe for a while. When he felt a little unwell, he went home and took medicine.

He met Jiujiu again on his way home, but he deliberately avoided Jiujiu, not wanting to confront her or talk much.

Even when his legs suddenly became uncontrollable and he fell to the ground, Jiujiu hurried forward to help him up, but he refused and pushed Jiujiu away.

But when he pushed Jiujiu away, his sleeve slipped up and Jiujiu saw the red line on his arm.

Is this person poisoned?

She had seen this kind of poison before and knew how to cure it. It was very easy to cure and not a very difficult poison.

She wanted to help Zhou Yuanyou detoxify.

But Zhou Yuanyou didn't listen to her at all and was unwilling to stay. He got up and left in a hurry, leaving Jiujiu no chance to speak.
