Chapter 44 Where are you going?

"It doesn't matter if you listen to me." Qi Ming looked at her with a smile, as if he had penetrated her thoughts in an instant.

"I have a business, which is to collect the medicine residue dumped from the Gaomen compound."

"Medicine residue?" Gu Mingshu thought she heard wrongly.

Even the dregs of medicine can be turned into business. This guy is such a profiteer. Sure enough, he can squeeze out three ounces of oil from every bone.

Qi Ming looked proud, obviously very proud of his business.

"Most of the medicines used by high-ranking officials are expensive. As the daughter of a general, you have had no worries about food and clothing since you were a child, so it's normal for you not to understand. Those medicine residues can be made into soothing incense and sold to ordinary people. The effect is a hundred times that of ordinary medicines.

of."

"One time, a piece of medicinal dregs received at Prince Hailing's Mansion was very special. Medications that were mutually reinforcing and incompatible were mixed together and boiled. After the medicinal properties were subtly balanced, they seemed to be combined with the dishes. The specific effect can only be determined by the person who uses the medicine.

Know."

"This is a wild trick that ordinary doctors, even palace doctors, would not use, and people who are skilled in using medicine are bold. If this kind of collision is not mastered well, the medicinal diet will become poisonous. I have a good idea

Check, it took a lot of effort to find you."

Gu Mingshu had no idea that a mere drug residue could expose her, and she was speechless for a moment.

Qi Ming was probably really proud and couldn't help but continue talking.

"I have been looking for the successor of the King of Medicine for a long time. Naturally I will not let go of such an important clue. I personally went into the palace to observe you several times. I wanted to take you away directly, but after observation, I found that you are a rare

You have talented people, it is better to do business with you than to take people by force."

The corners of Gu Mingshu's mouth twitched slightly: "Thank you very much for your love."

"You're welcome." Qi Ming said with a smile, "But when it comes to thanking me, I would like to thank that little oiran. If she hadn't spent the afternoon bragging about Xiangsi Ying and summoning her murderous knife yesterday, I really can't think of anything else.

What's a good way for you to cooperate with me, hehe."

When Gu Mingshu heard this, her beautiful peach blossom eyes widened: "You actually had a plan for the assassination?"

"You can't say it was my plan." He looked modest. "I just followed the trend and helped you open the window to escape when you were fighting. When you escaped from the house, I helped him lose a few

It's just a hidden weapon that blocks your other routes."

Gu Mingshu:......

This man is really terrible!

She originally thought that what happened last night was just Ruan Mei Niang jumping over the wall to kill her, but she didn't expect that there was a yellow bird watching behind her!

Fortunately, yesterday she thought she was lucky and had quick reactions, and she fell in front of the person who could save her life at the critical moment. It turned out that it was not her luck, but someone's good calculation, waiting for her to fall into the net they had made.

.

If it were anyone else, I would be panicked, angry, and at a loss at this time.

But Gu Mingshu was different, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, so I am so important." She smiled with crooked eyebrows, "You are so troublesome to find the successor of the King of Medicine, but you want to cure diseases and save lives? This does not have to be passed on to others. My medical skills are also good. Why don't you just retreat and ask for help?

Let me try this time?"

She blinked and said slyly: "If you find an elusive person, the waste of manpower and material resources will be unlimited. But I am much cheaper. As long as you provide the medicinal materials, I don't need to pay for the consultation. I only need you to be there when I need it."

When the time comes, just protect me for a moment or two."

When Qi Ming heard this, he covered his mouth with his fist and laughed "haha".

After a while, he said: "Gu Mingshu, why don't you leave Qin Yue and join me directly. I really lack talents like you who can do business."

Gu Mingshu heard the implication: she talked about medical skills, but he talked about business. This is a level of obvious distrust of her!

"Mr. Qi, don't look down on others. In terms of medical skills, I can be regarded as the successor of the Medicine King you are looking for. The master also praised me for my talent. Why don't you let me try it?"

Qi Ming was really satisfied with her intelligence and her ability to find opportunities to climb along the poles. Although he occasionally saw her in Shibafang, it was very interesting to see her in a noble girl.

This made Qi Ming feel that it was worth all the effort he put into plotting against her, and all the time he spent talking to her in detours to explore her depths.

"What kind of protection do you want?" he asked suddenly.

When Gu Mingshu heard this, her beautiful peach blossom eyes widened: "Are you... agreeing?"

The benefits came so suddenly that she couldn't believe it.

Qi Ming said: "You have to be specific. Don't use the word 'protection' in a general way. Otherwise, you will have to protect this and that, and in the end, I will be the one to support Qin Yue's wife. This is too

It’s inappropriate.”

Gu Mingshu thought to herself: The ghost wants you to take care of it! Can’t I just rely on myself to take care of myself for the rest of my life?

"I need a false identity to do some business in Beijing, such as opening a pharmacy or something. Also, I need you to ensure that no one else knows that I am doing this small business, especially to avoid the Hailing Palace.

"

Qi Ming asked with a half-smile: "Qin Yue is willing to open his own treasury for you, are you still not satisfied?"

"Who would think that money is too much, right?" Gu Mingshu smiled with crooked eyebrows, "If I meet two more masters like you in the future, they will blackmail me for fifty thousand taels. No matter how much I earn, it won't be enough.

"

Qi Ming stared at her, neither saying yes nor no.

She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, raising her eyebrows and kissing her softly: "Isn't this a difficult thing for you? I help you and you help me. We are good partners. If you have money, we all make money. If you are sick, I will help you.

, perfect cooperation.”

Qi Ming nodded: "Okay, if you can pass my test in Shibafang in three days, I will agree to these small requests of yours."

When Gu Mingshu heard this, a bright and unstinting smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Thank you very much!"

After saying that, she stood up: "Then we agreed, see you in three days! It's not early, Ming Shu will go first..."

Before he could say the word "resign", he was interrupted by Qi Ming's powerful "Dudu" knock on the table.

"Although I feel happy when I break my promise, I will be angry if others break their promise to me." Qi Ming said expressionlessly.

Gu Mingshu:?

"As promised, tell me everything you know?" Qi Ming reminded with some displeasure.

"Oh, oh oh!"

She came to think of it, just now in order to coax someone to check for her omissions and fill in the gaps, she boasted that she would tell him all the information about the King of Medicine's successors.

"Serve me with pen and ink." Gu Mingshu shouted to Cui Wei outside the door, and then gave Qi Ming a shy smile: "I will write you a few addresses. They are all places where the old gentleman lived or often visited when he taught me. It's just that I came to Beijing.

It has been many years, and there is really no guarantee whether he is still there."

Not long after, Qi Ming shook the piece of paper with still wet ink, and was finally satisfied: "I'll see you at the Ghost Market in Shibafang in three days. If you pass the test, I have a gift for you."

After Gu Mingshu watched Qi Ming leave, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Qi Ming is indeed not easy to serve, but this is both a challenge and an opportunity for her. With Qi Ming as her help, many of her plans will go smoothly.

Gu Mingshu returned to the general's mansion under the moonlight. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Qin Yue sitting on the round chair where Qi Ming had been sitting before, with a gloomy face and staring at her coldly.

"Where have you gone?"
