Red Dust Daqian

After figuring out the purpose of Zhou Sen's meeting, Li Qi also looked embarrassed. Although the Plum Blossom Division is the first spy agency in Daqian, it should be said that it has mastered all the resources of Daqian, but Li Qin has not yet solved the problem of the poisonous insect in his body, so how can it help Zhou Sen?

Li Qinwei lived in fear every day, fearing that the poisonous insect would attack for no reason in his body. He knew the power of the poisonous insect when it attacked, and it was simply worse than death. No wonder Huaxi Shrine could easily control so many members. Even a man with a strong will like Li Qinwei could hardly withstand the pain when the poisonous insect attacked, and ordinary people could hardly imagine it.

Li Qi covered up with a slightly embarrassed look and said, "Master Zhang, don't worry. Regarding the matter of the poisonous insect, I have sent a letter of cooperation to the Kyoto Imperial Hospital. I believe there will be a solution in the near future!"

Zhou Sen saw Li Qi's dilemma, so he asked sincerely, "Mr. Li, have you encountered any difficulties? Since you and I have already cooperated, I hope you can be honest with me. I may be able to do my best to help you."

Li Qi said awkwardly, "In fact, we have exchanged letters with the Imperial Hospital several times. Regarding this kind of Gu worm, there are doctors in the Imperial Hospital who have heard of similar things, but the symptoms and effects are quite different from what Li Qinwei described. We can neither provide Gu worms for research nor antidotes, so we have no idea where to start and the progress is very slow. Of course, our Plum Blossom Division will not give up on finding a solution. We are also looking for other ways to solve it. I believe we can eventually defeat the Gu worm."

Zhou Sen sighed, as expected of an official, Li Qi's words, which were completely clueless, could still give people hope. Zhou Sen did not dwell on Li Qi's words and asked directly, "If we have the Gu worm protozoa and the antidote, can the Imperial Hospital quickly prepare a real antidote?"

Li Qi said without any ambiguity that those old stubborn people in the Imperial Hospital still had some ability. If they couldn't crack the Gu worm protozoa and the antidote, they could just die. Besides, if the Imperial Hospital couldn't solve it, then no one in Daqian would be able to solve it.

Zhou Sen emphasized again, "I don't want to crack the antidote, but to make an antidote that can really kill the poisonous insects once and for all." Li Qi sighed, "Master Zhang, what you said is all in the future. Now you can't get the poisonous insects and the antidote at all. You have to take the antidote once a month. If you don't take it, you will be worse than death, and even your life will be in danger. You should know this!"

Zhou Sen smiled mysteriously and said that he had the Gu worm and the antidote. Li Qi did not believe Zhou Sen at all, thinking that this Taoist must have been frightened by the Gu worm and was talking nonsense. How could it be possible? Meihua Division had been searching for so long and had no clue. How could an ordinary Taoist like him find the Gu worm and the antidote? And since he already had the Gu worm and the antidote, why was he asking for help? This was clearly offering help!

Li Qinwei, who was disheartened, instantly felt hopeful when he heard Zhou Sen say that there were both poisonous insects and antidote. He repeatedly confirmed with Zhou Sen whether he had heard it wrong.

Zhou Sen vividly told Li Qi and Li Qinwei how he got the poisonous insect and the antidote that day. Li Qi and Li Qinwei were quite shocked. Li Qi felt that Zhou Sen was really cunning and had kept it a secret from them. If he didn't need Shen Qianrou to join Huaxi Shrine and ask for help from the Plum Blossom Division, he probably wouldn't tell them now.

Li Qinwei was wondering why he didn't have the luck that day and had to eat the poisonous insect. They really couldn't understand the pain when the poisonous insect attacked. He had a sense of sadness that Zhou Sen and he had a common fate, but now it was gone. Why was he always the one who got hurt?

Li Qi couldn't wait to ask Zhou Sen to hand over the Gu worm and the antidote so that she could arrange people to study them. Zhou Sen didn't give them to Li Qi directly. After all, he had a purpose when he left the Gu worm and the antidote. Zhou Sen proposed to Li Qi that if Meihuasi cracked the mystery of the Gu worm and the antidote and prepared the real antidote, the original formula of the antidote should be given to Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen wanted more than just an antidote.

Li Qi was reluctant at first. What use would a Taoist priest have for such evil things? He must have bad intentions. But Zhou Sen insisted on asking for the antidote formula. If he didn't promise to give two antidote formulas, Zhou Sen would not give the poisonous insect and antidote. Li Qinwei didn't care about anything and begged Li Qi to agree quickly. Li Qi had no choice but to compromise. Who made him not have these things? If he didn't agree, he would be sorry to Li Qinwei.

After getting the promise, Zhou Sen took out a small bamboo tube containing the Gu worm from his sleeve and handed it to Li Qi. In fact, after bringing back the Gu worm last time, Shen Qianrou had been arranging people to study it secretly, but the makeshift team was not professional, and in the end they only raised a few more Gu worms, and there was no progress in the antidote.

Zhou Sen could get one antidote from Huaxi Shrine every month, so he gave Li Qi a full one without hesitation. Li Qi was indeed a man of swift action. After getting the Gu worm and the antidote, he took a quick look at them and called a messenger to send them to the Kyoto Imperial Hospital at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

After discussing the issue of the Gu worm, Li Qi actually asked Qian Mu Tang about colored glass. He said he wanted to find a piece of top-quality colored glass as a tribute gift, but of course he would not ask for it, but would buy it at the original price.

Of course, for Qianmu Hall, even giving away a piece of colored glaze would be a piece of cake. In fact, Shen Qianrou could agree without asking Zhou Sen.

However, Li Qi then asked Shen Qianrou where the Qianmutang colored glass came from. As a secret agency of Daqian, the Meihua Division knew the secrets of almost all the well-known merchants in Daqian. The Meihua Division had no idea where this high-quality colored glass came from, as if it was made by Qianmutang itself. However, according to Li Qi's understanding, Daqian did not have a kiln factory that could produce colored glass. Therefore, the Meihua Division was very curious about the way Qianmutang came from, and even sent people to investigate. As a result, Qianmutang had no plans to add new colored glass recently, so the matter was left unresolved.

How could such routes traveling outside Daqian escape the control of the Plum Blossom Division and be controlled by Qianmutang!

Zhou Sen thought that Shen Qianrou, who had been fascinated by Li Qi's appearance, would be powerless and easily tell Li Qi the truth about colored glass. Unexpectedly, when the conversation involved the core secrets of Xiangmu Society, Shen Qianrou instantly woke up and directly stated that this channel was the basis of Qianmutang's business, and refused to tell Li Qi how to import colored glass. She even further rejected Li Qi's request to buy high-quality colored glass, saying that high-quality colored glass was rare and Qianmutang had no stock.

Shen Qianrou's refusal was clean and neat, which made Zhou Sen quite relieved.
