Daily life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 69
"Master Yaogui, how is Lingji's condition?"

In an inn in Yingdu, Jian Jiuyuan stood nervously by the side, and on the bed in front of him lay a little girl who was unconscious like a porcelain doll.

The medicine ghost rested one hand on the little girl's wrist, with his eyelids slightly closed, he made a diagnosis calmly.

After a while.

The medicine ghost gently put the little girl's arm back into the quilt, and then sighed: "I didn't expect that I haven't seen it for a few years, and the things in Lingji's body have grown to this level..."

Just after hearing the first half of Yao Gui's sentence, Jian Jiuyuan's face changed slightly, but before he could speak, he heard Yao Gui continue: "But this time, old man Jian, your time is just right. If you come a little earlier For half a month, I'm afraid even I will be powerless to deal with the things in Lingji's body."

Hearing these words, Jian Jiuyuan's face instantly changed from cloudy to clear, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Master Yaogui means, is it possible that there is a way to save Lingji 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 bred a nearly extinct 'elixir', if this medicine is the core , perhaps it can completely eradicate the hidden dangers in Lingji's body."

Jian Jiuyuan was immediately overjoyed, and said, "Master Yaogui, do you really mean what he said?"

The medicine ghost said: "Not bad! But..."

Jian Jiuyuan said anxiously: "But what?"

The medicine ghost turned to look at him, and said, "Although this 'extinct elixir' was cultivated by me, if it is to be used, I am afraid that it needs another person's consent."

Jian Jiuyuan was silent for a while, and then said: "The person Master Yaogui is talking about, could it be the Nanjun Sheriff whom I saw at the Sheriff just now?"

The medicine ghost nodded and said, "Not bad!"

In fact, Jian Jiuyuan was quite puzzled as to why Yaogui was willing to work for Mo Jun.

He had met the drug ghost many years ago, and even though they had not met each other for a long time, he also knew something about the drug ghost's temper.To put it bluntly, Jian Jiuyuan never thought that with the temper of a medicine ghost, one day he would 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 only move his head there first, and wipe his own neck first.

"Then I would like to ask Master Yaogui to take me to meet the county sheriff again! No matter what price I pay, I will also ask for the elixir."

Jian Jiuyuan's tone was extremely decisive, and the meaning of "any price" naturally included, even if the time came to forcibly rob the elixir, or even kidnap and threaten the Nanjun Sheriff, he would not hesitate.

Apparently, Yao Gui also understood the meaning of the other party's words, and his face suddenly became a little colder, saying: "Old Jian, there is a saying that I said earlier, no matter what method you use, the old man will not care about it. But if you If you hurt that kid Mo Jun, even if you get the elixir, this old man won't help you heal."

This statement came out.

The decisive look on Jian Jiuyuan's face gradually dissipated, replaced by surprise.

"why?"

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

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

It doesn't sound good.

It is estimated that even the two apprentices of Yaogui did not receive such treatment.

The medicine ghost gave him a complicated look, and said: "Old man Jian, you don't understand. The medical skills I have learned, even if I practice medicine all my life, and write books and talk about it, it can save hundreds of thousands or millions of people at most."

"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 can never die."

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

So, although Yao Gui didn't say much during this time, it didn't mean he didn't know what those few seemingly ordinary rice plants in Mo Jun's [farm] actually represented.

Increase production by [-]%.

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

And Mo Jun also said during the chat before, this is just the beginning.

Even Jian Jiuyuan was taken aback by Yao Gui's words. He knew very well that Yao Gui was never a person who liked to brag and exaggerate.

But it was also because of this that he was able to understand more deeply the meaning of the words Yaogui.

Thinking back to the young Mo Jun with a gentle smile on his face that he saw before, Jian Jiuyuan couldn't help being stunned.

How could such a young man be so important?
"Of course, you don't have to worry too much."

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

As he said that, Yao Gui looked Jian Jiuyuan up and down a few times, his eyes full of meaning.

······
After half an hour.

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

"Ask for medicine?"

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

"That's right, I hope my lord will fulfill it."

Mo Jun thought for a moment, but for Jian Jiuyuan, this short moment was one of the longest time in his life.Even because of nervousness, the knuckles of Jian Jiuyuan's only fist had been turned white by him.

Until Mo Jun said again: "You have an old relationship with Master Yaogui, so it is not impossible to ask for medicine. But... the value of a elixir must be clear to senior Jian Jiuyuan, what price are you going to pay for it?" How about buying this elixir?"

As soon as Mo Jun said these words, the medicine ghost not far away immediately muttered secretly: "Sure enough, the old man knew that this kid would not let go of the fat that was delivered to his door."

When we first met before, he felt that the kid looked at Jian Jiuyuan with something wrong, that kind of look was exactly the same as when he was plotting against him.

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