Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty-One

Not alone, he was holding a woman in his arms. A woman is beautiful, and it comes entirely from the kindness and gentleness between her eyebrows. She is beautiful but not glamorous, so that people can feel it with just one glance. She must be a virtuous and good wife.She lay quietly in his arms, greeted everyone with a smile, and seemed to be in good spirits, but from her pale face and frail body, one could tell that she must be seriously ill at the moment, and I am afraid that time is running out up. The beauty is unlucky, and she is also a woman. Miss Lan Er felt a little sad, and vaguely guessed her identity.

Sword god Ji Liang married his wife Lin Shi, who was also a famous beauty back then. After marriage, the husband and wife respected each other as guests. He took his wife out to seek medical treatment. It is estimated that during this time, he helped Jiang Xiaohu build this Tianshui City. I heard that Mrs. Ji’s illness is very chilly. The hot spring in this room must be So set it up. Why is he willing to help Jiang Xiaohu do these things?As Jin Huanlai said, what deal did Jiang Xiaohu agree to?Miss Lan Er also vaguely guessed something. Ji Liang was still expressionless, but there was a hint of warmth in his cold eyes. He carefully put his wife on the chair next to him, and nodded to her not to worry, which shows that he loves her extremely.

Miss Lan Er was even more puzzled. He didn't seem to be faking his affection for his wife. What happened to him and that "Xiao Ru" by the Tianshui River back then?He said "Xiao Ru" harmed his wife, could it be... "She has been poisoned!" Second Miss Lan exclaimed. Ji Liang didn't answer. Looking at Mrs. Ji's face, Second Miss Lan became more and more sure of her judgment. It turns out that Mrs. Ji's illness is not as rumored outside, but poisoning. No wonder Dad believed him so much. Dad has been secretly cultivating influence all these years. Few do not know. "Water and wind are light" Ji Liang bought the thousand-year-old warm jade cup from outside the customs just because his wife was poisoned, and the thousand-year warm jade cup can cure all kinds of poisons. It comes naturally.What's more, Ji Liang hated thieves, and had cut off the hands of many Qianshoujiao disciples. He had a feud with Qianshoujiao, so it was only natural for Jin to want revenge. How could Dad suspect that this was a trap.

Second Miss Lan thought to herself, it has been four or five years, Madam Ji's poison has not yet been cured, and it has reached the point where she must have a thousand-year-old Nuanyu Cup, it seems that this poison must be extremely powerful and rare. Jiang Xiaohu hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at Jin Huanlai and said, "I'm afraid only you can solve this 'Half Moon Dew' in the world, you..." Jin Huanlai sat down on the chair and interrupted him: "You know best about him and my Qianshoujiao. This person once cut off 33 hands of my Jiaojiao. If I agree to him, I will be sorry to those brothers."

Jiang Xiaohu stopped talking. Miss Lan Er was shocked. No wonder Ji Liang wanted to get the millennium warm jade cup. This "Half Moon Dew" was originally created by a master poisoner. The blood clots all over his body, and he will die without a doubt, unless there is his unique antidote, but the sentence "unless" has been recognized as nonsense by the people in the world, because the person who had the poisonous antidote had died ten years ago. Under the swords of dozens of masters—possessing such a terrible poison, almost everyone in the world is in danger, especially his enemy, who must be sitting on pins and needles every day. Who would dare to allow him to live again?

No matter how powerful and terrifying a weapon is, it doesn't mean it can be invincible. Miss Lan Er murmured, "She's too ruthless..." Jin Huan became interested: "I don't know who poisoned it." Ji Liang looked at his wife in silence, the expression on his face remained the same for thousands of years, but there was a bit of guilt in his eyes. Mrs. Ji hurriedly said: "It's just a little thief who has a grudge against him, and it's my fault for not paying attention." After she finished speaking, she turned to her husband, shook her head and smiled, "You don't have to blame yourself, if you didn't ask for medicine everywhere, I wouldn't be able to live until now."

Jiang Xiaohu didn't speak, but Jin came to sneer. Miss Lan Er is not stupid, the person who poisoned her was "Xiao Ru", she wanted to be with him, but he didn't want to let his wife down, that's why she attacked his wife, and he couldn't bear to hurt his old love Therefore, she must have concealed the truth from his wife and called him a "vengeful little thief", but he must have felt guilty in his heart because he was always unfair to his wife. Jin Huanlai looked at Mrs. Ji again, and asked casually, "How long has she been poisoned?" "Nearly five years."

"Anyone who gets hit by 'Half-Moon Dew' can live for half a month at most. Unexpectedly, using hot springs can also extend their life to this day. It's rare for someone to think of this method." Jiang Xiaohu sighed: "It was my idea. Back then, I heard from my grandfather that 'Half Moon Dew' is very cold in nature. If you soak in the hot spring for an hour every day, and protect it with zhenqi, take some more." The medicine for dispelling the cold may prolong life." Jin Huanlai raised his eyes: "He helped you build Tianshui City, so you promised him to detoxify his wife?"

Jiang Xiaohu shook his head: "When he helped me build Tianshui City, I just gave him a way to continue his life." Jin also said: "But now he has helped you a lot and found out the murderer." Jiang Xiaohu was silent. Ji Liang nodded: "Now the murderer already exists." "So I'm going to detoxify your wife?" Jin Huanlai sneered, "You should go to him for your deal with him, and it has nothing to do with me." Ji Liang said: "I don't understand the poison, you don't want to leave today." Madam Ji tugged at his hand worriedly: "My poison doesn't matter..."

Ji Liang didn't move. Jin Huanlai raised his eyebrows indifferently, and said leisurely: "Others are afraid of you, Ji Liang, but I am not, because I can definitely run far before your knife is out of its sheath, and I can definitely run faster than you. In addition , except for me, there is absolutely no one in the world who can cure your wife's poison." Ji Liang was furious: "If you don't believe what you say, if something happens to her, you can't even think about surviving!" Jin Huanlai sneered: "I, Jin Huanlai, don't like being used as a bargain. Whoever promises to detoxify, you should go to that person. I didn't promise you anything, so how can you break your promise?"

Jiang Xiaohu smiled wryly. Miss Lan Er suddenly asked: "Xiaohu, didn't Master Jin lend you the Millennium Warm Jade Cup? My sister took a fake cup. It's really still here with you. Why don't you give it a try?" Jiang Xiaohu patted her on the head, sighed and said, "Honey, don't you understand that it's just our trick to lure out the murderer? How can there be such a magical thing in the world as a thousand-year-old warm jade cup that can cure all poisons! Back when I spent I bought a piece of precious jade at a high price, specially asked someone to carve this cup, and then deliberately asked Brother Ji to transport it back from outside the customs, all the things in Tianshui City were bought by your husband and I." Miss Lan Er was surprised: "But I was poisoned that day, and I obviously used it..." "You forgot that Lao Jin is a master of poisoning. You intentionally poisoned him that day to test the truth, so he deliberately used the warm jade cup to relieve you. In fact, he just took the opportunity to put the antidote in the cup," Jiang Xiaohu said depressedly, "A The cup is so magical, those master poisoners should find a rope and hang themselves." Ji Liang obviously didn't have the patience to wait any longer, raised his scabbard: "Do you agree or not?" Madam Ji hastily stretched out her hand to pull him, and persuaded him softly: "I may not have something to do, so why do you have to make things difficult for others? It has been four or five years since I have hot springs and medicines, and I think there will be no serious problems in the future..." Ji Liang brushed her hand away: "Just shut up." Mrs. Ji stopped her mouth as expected, and smiled helplessly, with a faint look of relief. "Even if I agree, it won't help." Jin Huan glanced at her and sneered, "If a person doesn't want to live, it's useless even if the gods are reborn." Ji Liang was slightly stunned, and turned to look at his wife. Madam Ji was startled, forced a smile and said, "Master Jin was joking." Jin also shook his head. Madam Ji didn't seem to want to stay any longer, she turned to her husband: "I'm a little tired, please help me go back and rest." Ji Liang didn't move: "What's going on?" Mrs. Ji smiled: "What can I do, why are you so stubborn, everything is up to God, I am satisfied with how you have treated me these past few years, even if I die now..." "Nonsense!" Ji Liang frowned, "I will let him detoxify you today!" Mrs. Ji was silent. Jiang Xiaohu suddenly pushed Miss Lan, and pointed to the small door not far away: "It's not too late to detoxify, Brother Ji refuses to leave, and it's too cold here, there's a room over there, you For the time being, let Madam Fu go in and have a rest." Miss Lan Er understood what he meant, nodded, and went to help Mrs. Ji. Seeing that her husband refused to leave, Mrs. Ji stood up helplessly, grabbed his hand and begged, "Brother Jiang also has good intentions, I just beg you, don't do anything about it." Ji Liang snorted coldly and didn't answer. When the two disappeared through the door, he suddenly looked at Jin Huan and asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?" Jin Huanlai leaned against the back of the chair, hugged his chest, and resumed his bat appearance: "It's nothing interesting, you married a good wife." Jiang Xiaohu sighed: "Brother Ji thought that Mrs. Sister-in-law wouldn't know about you and Yan Yuru?" Ji Liang froze for a moment, then strode towards the room. Compared with the outside, the small room looks very warm, with complete tables and chairs, and with the light from the outside, you can still see the small bed inside. Probably because of the "half-moon dew", Mrs. Ji's body exudes air-conditioning, the tentacles are cold, and her thin body is like a fluttering feather, which can be blown away by a gust of wind.Miss Lan Er carefully helped her to the small bed, then went to light the lamp, and hurriedly closed the door because she was afraid that she would be cold. "Thank you, sister." Mrs. Ji thanked her in a low voice, her eyes still looking at the door anxiously. Miss Lan Er understood her worries, and said with a smile: "With the small lake here, they shouldn't fight, Madam, let's have a good rest." Mrs. Ji shook her head: "You don't know his temper..." Miss Lan Er said: "Master Ji treats Madam very well." Mrs. Ji lowered her eyes and smiled: "For the past four or five years, if he hadn't been with him day and night and spared no effort to heal my wounds, I would have long since passed away." Miss Lan Er blinked: "Madam likes him very much." Mrs. Ji blushed a little, but her voice was very calm: "Yes, his sword skills are superb, he became famous at the age of nineteen, and he treats me so well. With such a husband, other people would also like it." Miss Lan Er looked at her for a moment, then turned around and walked to the table. There was a delicate small incense burner on it. Soon, the fragrance of Ningshen's sandalwood wafted out. She came back and sat down: "He is so kind to Madam, and Madam likes him, why do you want to die?" Mrs. Ji was slightly startled: "The girl is joking." Miss Lan Er shook her head: "I'm not joking." Uncomfortable being looked at by her, Mrs. Ji looked away, sadly: "He is obsessed with swordsmanship, and he hasn't practiced hard for my poison for nearly five years. Instead, he expends his true energy every day to drive away the cold poison for me. Now My health is getting worse and worse, even if Master Jin is willing to save me, I may not be able to live for a long time, I really don't want to drag him down..." Miss Lan Er suddenly interrupted her: "Who poisoned you?" Mrs. Ji smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter who made the bet." "You know it," Miss Lan Er found that this woman was not as stupid as she imagined, "You actually knew about him and that Xiaoru, and deliberately kicked him to hide it?" "You..." Mrs. Ji was surprised, but quickly calmed down again, "Sister, don't talk nonsense, it's not his fault, it's me who hurt them." Miss Lan Er felt very strange: "Why don't you blame him? Since he is your husband, he should only like you and not remember other women." Mrs. Ji cut him silently for a while, then lowered her head: "You don't understand, he and Yan Yuru were childhood sweethearts, and later the master and Yan's family were at odds, which forced him to marry me, so Yan Yuru had no choice but to marry me. The Wu family." It turned out that the woman's name was Yan Yuru. Second Miss Lan thought about it seriously: "How can you say that you are responsible for the fate of your parents?" Mrs. Ji shook her head: "It's not all the orders of my parents. When the Ji family proposed, my father asked me what I meant, and I agreed." She sighed: "I was only sixteen years old at that time, and he was only twenty. He was a young hero, and his sword skills were famous all over the world. Which girl wouldn't like it? Besides, I had met him before, although I knew something about them. , but in my heart I thought it would be good to marry him, as long as I take care of him wholeheartedly and take care of the family business for him, one day he will like me." Miss Lan Er asked, "Did he treat you badly?" Mrs. Ji smiled: "It's different. After Yan Yuru got married, he practiced swords all day long. He left early and returned late. Others couldn't see it, but I knew it. He was always thinking about her. Now he treats me well, I also feel ashamed.” It turns out that liking someone can be so complicated?Miss Lan Er didn't quite understand, she murmured, "But I think he likes you." Mrs. Ji shook her head: "Later, when he came home, it gradually increased. I thought he finally paid attention to me, until Yan Yuru lost her husband... I originally thought, in this case, it's better to make them both happy, and let Yan Yu go. If you pick it up, you still can't make up your mind, and you haven't opened your mouth yet." She smiled and grabbed Miss Lan Er's hand, but there were tears in her eyes: "Sister, don't joke, you will understand when you get married. I like him and want to be a virtuous wife. I would rather take concubines for him. But Yan Yuru is different, he already has her in his heart." Miss Lan Er felt sympathetic, and when she saw her like this, she immediately panicked: "Then don't let him go to that woman. If Jiang Xiaohu goes to find someone else, I'll beat him." Depressed, of course, this kind of behavior is usually called a tigress by others. Realizing that she lost her composure, Mrs. Ji gradually regained her composure, and turned her face away: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have insisted on agreeing to this marriage and breaking them up." Miss Lan Er said: "But she shouldn't hurt you..." Mrs. Ji interrupted her: "They were supposed to be together. I have only been married to the Ji family for seven years, and I have only taken care of the family business for him for two years. But she has delayed me for nearly five years. I am satisfied. Now There is no regret in dying." After speaking, he held her hand tightly, "I hope my sister will not tell these things to the public, lest my father know..." Miss Lan Er was silent for a moment, and asked, "Xiao Ru attacked you, did you not tell City Master Ji?" "I'm already a dying person, so why tell the truth and let the two of them have a rift," Madam Ji smiled, "Usually I'm too narrow-minded and can't let it go, but now that I've been poisoned by this poison, it's just right, and I don't have to worry about it anymore." Worrying about these things, I also figured it out, since he treats me like this, why don't I help them." You think he doesn't know?Miss Lan Er secretly sighed. At this moment, the door suddenly opened with a "bang", and it was kicked open from the outside.
