Chapter 339: Ninety-nine Horrors

Jiujiu could not conceal the smile on her lips, she even laughed out loud, if Shi Ziyan inside listened carefully, he would definitely hear it.

But Shi Ziyan was busy flirting with the two beauties and had no time to pay attention to any sound.

The two little beauties took off Shi Ziyan's outer clothes and threw them aside, leaving only his white undershirt and underwear.

He was lying on the couch, his clothes half-open, looking at the little beauty who was still pulling at his clothes, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

He had several silver bills in his hand. If the little beauty behaved well and made him happy, he would take out one and put it into the little beauty's chest.

Every time the little beauty was stuffed with silver bills, she would laugh so hard that her body shook.

Jiujiu listened to the shrill laughter and waited patiently at the door for a while. When she saw that the time was almost up, she kicked the door open.

The moment Shi Ziyan saw Jiujiu, he felt like the sky was falling and his head was buzzing.

Why is this girl here?

I also saw him looking for a girl.

This, this, this, what should I do?

No one knew that he came to the brothel; he had kept it a secret from everyone.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is the once-famous Grand Tutor Shi Ziyan, as well as a good husband, a good father, a good grandfather, and a good brother.

If this kind of romantic affair were to be known by others, he would never be able to hold his head up high again and his reputation would be ruined.

Thinking of this, Shi Ziyan hurriedly pushed away the girl who was clinging to him and pecking his chest with her soft lips, and greeted Jiujiu.

"Good girl, you, you..."

"You must not tell this to anyone!"

Shi Ziyan looked uneasy and frightened.

Jiujiu was waiting for him to say this, "It's okay if you don't tell me, the thousand-year-old Jade Rong root?"

"..." Shi Ziyan didn't want to give it to him, but with the knife on his neck, he had no choice. After being silent for a long time, he slapped his thigh fiercely and gritted his teeth to admit it, "...Okay, I'll give it to you."

"I hope the girl will keep her mouth shut."

"make a deal."

In this way, Jiujiu obtained the thousand-year-old jade rong root treasured by Shi Ziyan.

Jiujiu got the things from Shi Ziyan's house, and when she was putting them away and coming out, she ran into Shi Ziyan's wife who was visiting her parents' home. She came back.

Shi Ziyan hurried forward and asked caringly, "Madam, you are back?"

"I've told you so many times..." The gray-haired woman said with a smile, "Now that we're in the village, don't call me Madam. Follow the local customs and call me by my name."

"No." Shi Ziyan took the things in the woman's hand and said, "I will call you Madam for the rest of my life. You are the one I care about the most."

Jiujiu: “…”

Really?

The woman spotted Jiujiu, and she looked at him and said kindly, "Hey, where did this girl come from? She looks unfamiliar, why is she at our door? Lao Shi, do you know her?"

“No.”

“We must have taken the wrong path!”

As Shi Ziyan spoke, he took the woman's hand and hurried into the house. He looked guilty, as if he was extremely afraid that Jiujiu would say something to the woman.

Jiujiu saw the door in front of him closed and left.

The sun was setting, the sky was getting dark, and it was no longer suitable to visit anyone.

Fortunately, we had a good harvest today. We got two thousand-year-old jade roots and will be able to rescue brother Dijiang soon.

Today, just have a good rest and go find the third adult tomorrow.

When Jiujiu returned to where he was staying, Chuyang came forward and asked what happened.

Jiujiu took out two pieces of thousand-year-old jade rose roots and showed them to Chuyang.

After Chu Yang finished reading it, he could not hide his joy, "Great, Princess, His Majesty is saved."

"Um."

Jiujiu couldn't help but sigh when she saw Chuyang's excitement. If she had brought Duhuahua with her when she came out, Duhuahua's blood could have directly saved Dijiang.

However, she disliked the fact that Poison Flower ate a lot of herbs and it would be difficult to supply them on the road, so she didn't bring any.

Her prescription for curing all kinds of poisons could have been used. Unfortunately, the poison in the Emperor River was not an ordinary poison, but a poison cultivated by a Gu, so it could not be used.

well--

This is the only way to go through the trouble of finding the thousand-year-old jade rose root.

Jiujiu pinched her brows tiredly and said, "Chuyang, the prescription I wrote on the way here, you must prepare all the medicines on it before tomorrow."

After all the medicines are prepared, they need to be mixed according to the dosage, which takes half a day, and another half a day to boil them.

Their time is very tight and there is no time to waste.

"Don't worry, Princess. I will."

After Jiujiu finished explaining everything, he ate a little food and went to rest.

The next day, she asked Chu Yang to continue guarding Di Jiang and not come out to avoid causing trouble and affecting Di Jiang.

She went alone to find Lord Hou and ask for the last piece of thousand-year-old Jade Rong root.

Yesterday Zhou Wenchuan told her that Lord Hou lived in the last house at the end of the village, in a very remote location, and generally not many people came here.

Moreover, Lord Hou has no father or mother, no wife or children, and is alone.

Although he has two friends, Zhou Yuanyou and Shi Ziyan, he still prefers to be alone and doesn't like to stick with them.

He usually doesn't go out to see the two of them for ten days or half a month.

well--

I don’t know what he is thinking.

I don't even know what he likes.

It is also difficult to get medicine from him.

Fortunately, Jiujiu is not afraid of difficulties.

Just deal with it as it happens!

At this moment, Jiujiu arrived at the door of Lord Hou's house and glanced at the fence in front of him and the thatched house inside the fence.

It is obvious that Lord Hou's family is not as well off as Zhou Yuanyou and Shi Ziyan's families.

The two families lived in the best brick house in the village, which was spacious and bright, and had two maids to do the laundry and chop firewood.

Their owner himself, on the other hand, farms, raises chickens, plants flowers and trees out of interest. He looks very leisurely and comfortable, completely different from this family.

Seeing that the fence was open, Jiujiu walked in.

Behind her, Zhou Wenchuan suddenly appeared, panting.

He came here specifically to help Jiujiu, and he also brought two buns for Jiujiu. When he arrived in front of Jiujiu, he stuffed the buns wrapped in oil paper into Jiujiu's hands.

"Good girl, I knew you came to Uncle Hou's house."

"Grandpa asked me to help you."

"My family steamed some buns this morning, and I brought you two of them. They're still warm. Eat some quickly. You look so thin."

"Thanks."

Jiujiu accepted the buns but didn't eat them. Dijiang's life was hanging by a thread now and she had been worried about Dijiang, so she really had no appetite.

Zhou Wenchuan was not good at comforting people. He looked at Jiujiu for a while, hesitantly saying, "Shall we go in?"

After the two went in, they saw an old man with half-white hair in the thatched hut. He was dressed in plain white clothes and lying on a rattan chair at the door. His hair was tied back and there were two strands of catfish whiskers on his forehead. He looked very vicissitudes of life and gave people a feeling of being weathered.

Seeing Jiujiu and Zhou Wenchuan, the old man said with a smile: "Guests are coming!" After a pause, he looked behind Jiujiu and said: "The two little guests also brought a big guest."

"Late Emperor, you are here!"

"My humble abode is filled with glory."

"I will come to receive you right away."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiujiu felt a chill down his spine and his hair stood on end.

Where is the previous emperor?
