Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

"Master Yaogui, how is Lingji's condition?"

In an inn in Yingdu, Jian Jiuyuan stood slightly nervously. On the bed in front of him, there was a little girl lying unconscious like a porcelain doll.

Yao Gui put a hand on the little girl's wrist, closed his eyes slightly, and made a diagnosis calmly.

After a while.

Yao Gui gently put the little girl's arms back into the quilt, and then sighed: "I didn't expect that the things in Ling Ji's body, which I haven't seen for a few years, have grown to this extent..."

Just after hearing the first half of Yao Gui's words, Jian Jiuyuan's expression changed slightly, but before he could speak, Yao Gui continued: "But this time, Old Man Jian, you came at the right time. If you had come a little earlier, In half a month, I’m afraid even I will be helpless to deal with what’s inside Ling Ji’s body.”

Hearing this, Jian Jiuyuan's expression suddenly turned from gloomy to clear, and he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Master Yaogui, is there a way to rescue Ling Ji now?"

The medicine ghost came to the table and took a sip of tea, then nodded and said: "Yes, just half a month ago, I just cultivated an almost extinct 'spiritual medicine'. If this medicine is used as the core , perhaps it can completely cure the hidden dangers in Ling Ji’s body.”

Jian Jiuyuan was immediately overjoyed and said, "Is Master Yaogui serious?"

Yao Gui said: "Not bad! But..."

Jian Jiuyuan said anxiously: "But what?"

Yao Gui turned to look at him and said, "Although this 'extinct elixir' was cultivated by me, if it is used, I am afraid that it needs the consent of another person."

Jian Jiuyuan was silent for a while, and then said: "Is the person that Master Yaogui talks about the same Nanjun County Sheriff that I just saw at the Sheriff's Office?"

Yao Gui nodded and said: "Not bad!"

In fact, Jian Jiuyuan was quite puzzled as to why Yao Gui was willing to work for Lord Mo.

He and Yao Gui had known each other many years ago. Although they had only met for a short time, he also knew something about Yao Gui's temper. To put it bluntly, Jian Jiuyuan never thought that with Yao Gui's temper, he would one day be willing to work for others.

As for being forced to surrender, it is completely impossible.

Jian Jiuyuan knew very well that even if someone put a knife on Yao Gui's neck, with this old guy's donkey temper, he would just put his head over first and wipe his own neck first.

"Then please ask Master Yaogui to take me to see the county guard again! No matter what the cost, I also want the elixir."

Jian Jiuyuan's tone was extremely decisive, and the meaning of 'any price' naturally included that he would not hesitate to rob the elixir by force, or even kidnap and threaten the Nanjun County Sheriff.

Obviously, the medicine ghost also heard the meaning of the other party's words, and his face suddenly became a little colder than usual, and said: "Old man Jian, there is a saying before, no matter what method you use, I will not care about it. But if You hurt that boy Mo Jun, even if you get the elixir, I won't help you heal him."

As soon as this statement came out.

The look of determination on Jian Jiuyuan's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a look of surprise.

"Why?"

This time, Jian Jiuyuan was really surprised. After all, according to his understanding, Yao Gui was never the kind of person who would bother thinking about others.

Not to mention protecting someone with such a decisive attitude like now.

That's not nice to say.

It is estimated that even Yao Gui's two apprentices did not receive such treatment.

The medicine ghost gave him a complicated look and said, "Old Jian, you don't understand. The medical skills I have learned, even if I practice medicine for a lifetime and write books, I can save at most one hundred thousand or one million people."

"But that kid is different. He has the ability to truly change the world. Anyone in this world can die. Even if you kill the king of Qin, I won't care. But he is the only one who cannot die."

When we were in Mo Mansion in Xianyang, Yao Gui's [Medicine Garden] was adjacent to Mo Jun's [Farm], and when Mo Jun went to Ancheng before, he specifically asked Yao Gui to take care of his [Farm].

So although Yao Gui didn't say much during this period, it didn't mean that he didn't know what the seemingly ordinary rice plants in Mo Jun's [Farm] represented.

Increase production by 50%.

Behind this seemingly simple sentence, it means at least millions of lives.

And Mo Jun also said during the previous chat that this was just the beginning.

Even Jian Jiuyuan was shocked by Yao Gui's words. He knew very well that Yao Gui had never been a person who liked to brag and exaggerate. In the other person's heart, he might not even know what "bragging" meant.

But precisely because of this, he was able to deeply understand the meaning of Yao Gui's words.

Recalling the young Mo Jun he had seen before with a gentle smile on his face, Jian Jiuyuan couldn't help but be stunned.

How could such a young man be so important?

"Of course, you don't have to worry too much."

It seems that what he just said was a bit too serious. As a doctor, Yao Gui subconsciously comforted him and said: "Boy Mo is still easy to talk to, as long as you are really prepared to pay 'any price'!"

As he spoke, Yao Gui looked Jian Jiuyuan up and down, his eyes full of meaning.

······

Half an hour later.

The two quietly returned to the Sheriff's Mansion through the side door, and this time they also brought the girl named 'Ling Ji' with them.

"Ask for medicine?"

Mo Jun looked at Jian Jiuyuan who was bowing in front of him, with a slightly surprised look on his face.

"Yes, I hope your Majesty will make it happen."

Mo Jun thought for a moment, but for Jian Jiuyuan, this short moment was one of the longest times in his life. Even because of the nervousness, the joints of Jian Jiuyuan's only fist were already turning white from his grip.

Until Mo Jun spoke again: "You have an old relationship with Master Yaogui, so it's not impossible to ask for medicine. But... Senior Jian Jiuyuan must also know the value of a spiritual medicine. What price are you planning to pay?" How about buying this elixir?"

As soon as Mr. Mo said these words, the medicine ghost not far away suddenly muttered secretly: "Sure enough, I know that this kid will not let go of the fat meat that comes to his door."

When they first met, he felt that something was wrong with the way this kid looked at Jian Jiuyuan. That look was exactly the same as when he plotted against him.

That's why he just reminded Jian Jiuyuan to be prepared to pay 'any price'...

Thanks to Yewu and Qingrenguo for the 100 coins.
