Chapter 1138 Ultimate Battle (5)
A few days later.
On the turbulent sea, a large ship is sailing towards the southeast.
Xia Houyi was sitting in a wheelchair on the deck, looking at the sea and sky with a relaxed expression.
"My lord."
Qing'er came behind him, bowed her hands and saluted.
Xia Houyi asked: "She stopped making trouble?"
Qing'er sighed: "It's still troublesome, no matter how intimidating it is, it's useless, it **** me off, so I can only light another pillar of tranquilizing incense for her."
Xia Houyi said: "You did a good job."
Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The lord has far-sightedness, knowing that Baihua Palace will arrest me and lock me up. In order to lure me into contact with the lord, they deliberately didn't lock the prison door, so I won't leave!"
"Go down."
Xia Houyi said.
"Yes, my lord!"
Qing'er returned to her wing.
As soon as the door was closed, the smile on his face disappeared.
She put her ear against the door panel and listened carefully, making sure that no one was watching her secretly, and she was quietly relieved.
"Come out."
she whispered.
Su Xiaoxiao pushed open the lid and walked out of the box: "How is Hui'an?"
Qing'er sat down on the bed and said angrily, "What else can I do? You won't let me tell her you're on the boat."
Su Xiaoxiao said with a complicated expression: "It's for her own good not to tell her, and if she responds truthfully, she will win Xia Houyi's trust more."
"You can't escape." Qing'er said.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's not your fault if you can't escape."
Qing'er glared at her and said, "But if you are discovered, you will kill me!"
Su Xiaoxiao said lightly: "You can speak louder."
Qing'er quickly covered her mouth, and whispered resentfully: "Don't forget what you promised me!"
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said: "Don't worry, a gentleman's words are hard to follow."
Su Xiaoxiao has her own plan.
It's just that sometimes, the plan can't keep up with the changes.
Princess Hui'an was sick, with rashes all over her body, high fever and coughing.
There is no doctor on board.
Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to sneak into Qing'er's wing to treat her illness under the cover of Qing'er.
In a daze, Princess Hui'an saw a vaguely familiar figure, and said hoarsely: "Little follower..."
"Shhh"
Su Xiaoxiao's index finger pressed on her chapped lips.
The touch under the fingertips made Su Xiaoxiao's head tighten.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes fell on this haggard face, and she suddenly realized that Huahua had also experienced a lot in the past two years.
She is no longer the carefree princess who is innocent and self-willed, who doesn't even take jumping off a tower.
She learned to endure, to be strong, and to protect others.
If it weren't for her bravery and wit that night, the three children would have been taken away.
Su Xiaoxiao's eye sockets were a little moist.
She lowered her head, and lightly touched Princess Hui'an's forehead with her own forehead: "Huahua, don't go to sleep yet, sleep after taking the medicine."
Princess Hui'an is confused: "Well...but I...really...so sleepy..."
Su Xiaoxiao stroked her cheek: "Huahua, you can make it through, I haven't caught Su Xuan to be your son-in-law yet."
Princess Hui'an's voice was weak: "Su Xuan..."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Yes, Su Xuan, will he be your son-in-law? Will you be my fourth cousin?"
Princess Hui'an: "Okay..."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Then don't sleep."
Princess Hui'an: "Huahua...don't sleep..."
Su Xiaoxiao hugged her into her arms, like holding her own child.
A moment later, Princess Hui'an cried weakly and aggrieved: "Little follower...I... miss my mother so much..."
After finally feeding the medicine to Princess Hui'an, another accident happened on the slave killing side.
That's right, Xiahouyi not only took Princess Hui'an as a hostage when she went to sea this time, but also brought along the slave-killer.
Su Xiaoxiao is no stranger to this operation, that's how Xia Houyi treated Wei Chen, Wei Qing and Wei Yan back then.
Xia Houyi has no humanity, only ambition.
Su Xiaoxiao came to the cabin where the slaves were held under the cover of Qing'er.
This room is much narrower. Fortunately, only one slave-killer was locked up.
Slave curled up and fell on the dirty floor, breathing weakly.
He suffered too much abuse, suffered severe blood loss, and he seemed to be a little seasick, and his injuries have not improved.
Su Xiaoxiao used all available medicines, but when it comes to this matter, to be honest, she can only rely on the slaves to carry it by herself.
Su Xiaoxiao went back and forth between the slave slave and Princess Hui'an all night, and was finally caught at dawn.
"My lord is waiting for you on the deck."
The guard said.
Su Xiaoxiao went up to the deck with him with a cold face.
Xia Houyi got up early, and had been watching the deck for less than half an hour.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out how much he liked this beautiful river and mountain when he looked at it every day.
Su Xiaoxiao approached, heard a muffled groan, and found that Qing'er was lying at Xia Houyi's feet covered in bruises.
Xia Houyi turned her back to Su Xiaoxiao, looking at the golden sun rising above the sea level: "You are a very good person who can instigate me."
Su Xiaoxiao walked towards him.
Another guard beside him quickly stretched out his arm to stop him.
Xia Houyi raised her hand, and the guards retreated respectfully.
Su Xiaoxiao stopped by his side, and also looked at the rising sun going out to sea, with magnificent waves in front of her eyes.
"Since you found out, let's open the skylight and speak up."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't show any pity for Qing'er, not even gave her a look.
It seems that Qing'er is just a tool she throws away after use, not worth mentioning.
"Actually, what you want does not conflict with what the Wei family wants. The Wei family only wants to live in a corner and be a citizen of the Great Zhou for the rest of their lives safely and smoothly. As long as you promise to let us go, I can assure you that you and the Wei family The grievances between you will be wiped out, and the Wei family will not come to you to seek revenge from now on."
Xia Houyi said: "Do you think I will believe it?"
Su Xiaoxiaodao: "I know you won't believe me, so I have a second bargaining chip."
Xia Houyi signaled her to continue.
Su Xiaoxiao took out a wrapped white handkerchief from her purse: "You haven't recovered from your illness, have you? These are the last two herbs that can cure Xiahou's family's illness. If you let us go, I can refine them into pills." medicine to cure your disease.
Xia Houyi took the veil over, and when she opened it, there were indeed two genuine herbal medicines inside.
Unexpectedly, the next incredible scene happened.
Xia Houyi unexpectedly threw the medicinal herb into the sea.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered: "What are you doing!"
Xia Houyi pushed the wheelchair and turned around, looking at Su Xiaoxiao: "You don't really think these herbs are for curing diseases, do you?"
Su Xiaoxiao frowned: "What do you mean?"
A trace of mockery flashed in Xia Houyi's eyes: "I put the Wordless Heavenly Book on the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion. Do you really think I can't bring it out?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked in surprise: "Did you put it there on purpose?!"
Xia Houyi did not deny it: "I thought it would be taken away by Xia Houqing, but who would have thought that he would not find the wordless book after going in several times, but you got it by chance. I guess, Yun Lin has already touched the medicinal herb, right?" ?
"I'm afraid you don't know one thing, the herbs recorded in the Wordless Book are not good medicines for this disease, but poisons that induce it.
"As long as people from Xiahou's family touch it, they will definitely get sick!"
"Is that why you got sick?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked suddenly.
A trace of surprise flashed in Xia Houyi's eyes, as if she didn't expect her mind to turn so fast, and she grasped the key to the problem at once.
Xia Houyi didn't hide it: "I was the same as you back then. When I saw the wordless book, I thought I had found the antidote to Xiahou's family's illness. I hadn't fallen ill at that time, and I also thought that since I wasn't the city lord, I shouldn't be. Disease. Its just that I always think about what happened in the past
Su Xiaoxiao said lightly: "You want to blackmail your elder brother with an antidote one day, right? Why do you have to speak so grandly?"
Xia Houyi said: "You're right to think so. Later when I became ill, I understood everything. In fact, all the people in Xiahou's family who fell ill all because of touching the herbs that they thought were the antidote. As long as they don't touch, they will be able to live forever Not ill."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "So, you want to use herbs to frame your nephew's illness."
Xia Houyi made no secret of her viciousness: "Although Xia Houqing was not recruited, it is the same if Yun Lin is ill."
Su Xiaoxiao sneered: "Who told you... Yun Lin would get sick?"
Xia Houyi looked at Su Xiaoxiao strangely: "Did he touch the herbs?"
"I touched it." Su Xiaoxiao said, "but what he touched was the non-toxic part. Don't you find it strange why the portrait recorded in the wordless book is a single herb instead of a flowering state? Because, the herb is Non-toxic, poisonous is its pollen!"
Xia Houyi's face changed slightly.
How could Su Xiaoxiao let Ling Yun touch the herb without checking it?
When she put the herb in the pharmacy, she noticed that the pollen was gone.
She knows the pharmacy all too well.
Refined poisons are absolutely not allowed to be brought in. Pure natural medicinal materials with medicinal effects can be accommodated, such as Gastrodia elata with ten-day toxicity, and aconitum that can dispel cold and relieve pain.
Retain herbs and remove pollen, which is already a good explanation.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, and gave Xia Houyi a sympathetic look: "Everything in the world is interdependent, and highly poisonous herbs must have an antidote within three steps. Pollen is an inducement, which can induce illness in your Xiahou family, but the leaves and stems are Its antidote. It's a pity that you just threw away the last two plants in the world, my father and my sixth brother dug up the roots, and they can't grow any more."
Speaking of this, Su Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh: "Xia Houyi, you are so confused."
Xia Houyi's complexion changed!
With Xia Houyi's eyesight, it is natural to see that Su Xiaoxiao is not lying.
His fist tightened suddenly: "Stop the boat!"
The confidant guards beside him immediately notified them and asked them to anchor and stop the ship.
The guards on the boat jumped into the sea one after another, and swam back to retrieve the herbs that Xia Houyi had just discarded.
It's a pity that there is no reference at all in the endless sea, and no one knows exactly where Xia Houyi dropped the herb.
Take ten thousand steps back, even if you know where you fell into the water, but the sea is flowing, no one can guarantee how far the herb will float, and whether it will be swallowed into the belly of the fish.
The intense salvage began.
For the first time, Xia Houyi showed a look of anger in front of people.
He is not calm anymore!
The salvage lasted for an entire hour.
Just when everyone was exhausted and struggling to even get on the boat.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly came up behind Xia Houyi and kicked him off with his wheelchair!
Plop!
Xia Houyi faced down, and fell into the sea in shock!
