Chapter 158: I wish you a happy meeting with Master Liu
The woman finally calmed down from her excitement and wanted to thank her benefactor, but she couldn't find him.
Xie Ruiyuan walked for a while, then suddenly stopped and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"puff!"
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Qingxuan went to see the prefect, but did not dare to stay and came back, only to see his master vomiting blood.
"Master, did you use your inner strength? Come on, I'll carry you back."
Xie Ruiyuan wiped the blood off his lips with a handkerchief and said calmly, "It's okay, let's go."
"Yes."
That night, Xie Ruiyuan suffered from the poison again. Qingxuan prepared medicine to suppress the cold poison, but this time the poison was so strong that even the medicine could not suppress it.
Xie Ruiyuan spent the whole night in a world of ice and fire. He finally made it to dawn, feeling so weak that he didn't even have the strength to get out of bed.
"Has Qingxi come back?"
"My Lord, not yet. The pigeon brought news that it will arrive the day after tomorrow."
"Well, step back."
"Yes."
When the room was empty, Xie Ruiyuan forced himself to handle official business, even while coughing from time to time.
Thinking about the 200,000 troops under his command, which consumed a large amount of food and grass every day, and would need cotton clothes in two or three months when the cold winter came, he felt a bit of a headache.
Outsiders thought that as the legitimate son of the Empress and also named Prince of Chen, he was powerful and had everything he wanted, so it was impossible for him to be short of money.
In fact, the Great Zhou Dynasty had been in decline for many years. Even though he was favored by his father, he had been living a tight life since he went to the military camp.
The national treasury was empty and could not allocate military pay, so he could only find ways to supplement the funds. However, the amount of food and fodder required for an army of 200,000 was not a small amount.
Even though he had countless assets and made a lot of money, the country's agriculture and economy were too backward. Even if he had money, he couldn't buy many things, especially scarce items such as food and cotton clothes.
This time, the south was hit by floods and countless people were displaced. Based on his understanding of his father, he would definitely not issue an order to resettle them.
After receiving the news, he ignored the cold and went to the south without stopping. Otherwise, once the people were forced into a desperate situation, civil unrest would be inevitable.
He had just driven Xiliang back to his hometown. If Xiliang got the news, they would definitely not miss this great opportunity.
While Xie Ruiyuan was worrying about military pay and cotton clothes, Qingxi was riding his horse at full speed.
"Yu~"
After running all day, the horse was exhausted. Even if he was anxious to return to his master as soon as possible, he had to give the horse time to rest.
"Okay, take a break."
Qingxi patted the horse and told it to go find some grass to eat and water to drink. He found a clean place to sit down and couldn't wait to open the package given by Li Mengyue. He took out two large pancakes he had prepared, opened the bottle of meat sauce, skillfully spread the meat sauce on the pancakes, and began to eat.
Thinking about how he had actually thought of not wanting to wrap it, he wanted to slap himself twice. How could he push away such delicious meat sauce? It was a pity that there was not enough.
He also ate all the other food in the package, leaving two bottles of meat sauce. He opened one and ate it with the pancake, feeling very happy.
When Qingxi thought about the possibility of ever being able to eat meat sauce again in the future, he didn't dare to eat too much and decided to eat only a little at a time.
After eating and drinking his fill and resting for two hours, Qingxi rode on his journey again.
Li Mengyue locked the door and prepared to go to the academy to pick up her brother from school.
Just as I walked out of an alley, I saw a familiar figure flash by.
[Host, this is Zhu Sijin, the one you asked me to locate and mark before.]
【Who is Zhu Sijin? 】
[Host, have you forgotten that someone in the town falsely accused the locust bombs of being poisonous and beat Li Dazhu and Li Erzhu.]
[I remember now, it was him! ]
Thinking that someone was plotting against her behind her back, Li Mengyue quickly followed.
Zhu Sijin has been having a hard time ever since he cruelly strangled his mother. The gambling house came to him to collect the gambling debts, and his body was poisoned. No one knows when the poison will take effect and he will die. The most important thing is that he has not completed the task assigned to him by the mysterious man, and he doesn't know what punishment he will receive.
Every time he thought of this, he had the urge to hang himself or jump into a well.
But every time he threw the rope onto the beam, he became extremely timid.
Yesterday the mysterious man asked him to come over, he didn't want to come but he was afraid.
When we arrived at the designated location, we knocked on the door according to the secret code of three long and one short.
"come in!"
Zhu Sijin thanked him with a licking face while trying to get some information from the servant.
"Little brother, you knew the master wanted me to come here, what's the matter?"
The servant glanced at Zhu Sijin and said disdainfully, "I don't know."
Zhu Sijin saw the contempt in the servant's eyes, but he couldn't get angry. After all, it was still unknown whether he could save his life.
After a while, the two stopped outside a room.
The servant went up and knocked on the door, saying respectfully, "Master Liu, the person is here."
No one responded, only a woman's delicate voice was heard from the room.
"Master Liu, this cup of wine was poured by Xiangxiang myself."
"Oh, really? Let me taste it and see if it smells good."
"Hate."
Then the sound of men and women breathing heavily was heard.
The servant stood calmly outside the door, as if he was not surprised by what happened in the house.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, I finally heard the man speak.
"Let him in."
"Yes."
The servant then looked at Zhu Sijin and said, "Master Liu asked you to come in."
After saying that, he left, leaving Zhu Sijin standing outside the door.
Thinking of the gambling debts he owed and the unknown poison in his body, Zhu Sijin's frightened heart miraculously calmed down. He took a deep breath and walked forward.
When he entered the room and saw the scene inside, somewhere in Zhu Sijin's body quickly became hot.
There were four beautiful women, each wearing a gauze dress of different colors. The gauze dress wrapped around her graceful figure, and her snow-white skin was faintly visible under the gauze dress, especially the two little white rabbits on her chest, which were unusually plump, like ripe peaches, waiting to be picked.
Coupled with the pink curtains and various erotic pictures on the walls, the ambiguous atmosphere was deliberately created. Zhu Sijin, who had a weak will to begin with, was suddenly lost in the crowd of women.
Liu Quan, who was leaning on the woman, saw Zhu Sijin's expression and winked at the woman named Xiangxiang.
Even though Xiangxiang was reluctant, when she thought of Master Liu's methods, she immediately stood up, twisted her waist, and came to Zhu Sijin in a charming manner.
"Hey, where did this handsome guy come from?"
As he spoke, he rubbed Zhu Sijin's face with his hand, and his breath was as fragrant as orchid, which made Zhu Sijin dizzy and he had no idea the purpose of his visit.
"May I have the honor to serve you?"
Zhu Sijin was so mesmerized by the fragrance from Xiangxiang that he lost his way and could only follow Xiangxiang's footsteps towards the inner room.
