Chapter 191 Unruly, Rooftop Night Talk (Part 2)
Xiao Bi has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her body is much stronger than the average person.
But she still obeyed her mother's wishes, put on a few more clothes and put on a cloak.
After thinking about it, he simply wrapped the brocade quilt on the bed and gently swept it out from the window.
She went up to the roof, and sure enough she saw Huan Yu, dressed in black, already waiting there.
Under the cold moonlight, his smile seemed to be warm, wrapping Xiao Bi's whole body.
Xiao Bi's heart trembled and she walked slowly to Huan Yu.
Seeing the brocade quilt tucked under her arm, Huan Yu couldn't stop laughing.
"Xiaojiu, what are you..."
Xiao Bi tugged on his coat: "You are always very careful with others but careless with yourself. I don't have to guess to know that you must be wearing thin clothes, so I brought you a quilt. It doesn't look good but is better than a cloak."
The cloak is warmer."
After saying that, she let go of the brocade quilt, held two corners of the quilt and shook it, and Huan Yu was wrapped up instantly.
He didn't actually feel cold, but the warmth brought by the brocade quilt still made him feel very comfortable.
The two sat down on the ridge of the roof. Xiao Bi turned her head and looked at him: "You suddenly left the capital that day. Did you encounter something urgent?"
Huan Yu said: "It has only been a few months since I returned to Tianshui County with my father, but too many things have happened.
I told you before, these things all revolve around the antidote.
Originally, according to my grandfather's wishes, I was told to leave this matter alone for the time being and prepare for the wedding first.
It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. I don't mess with those people, but they refuse to let me go.
That being the case, why should I be polite to them?
I went to the capital with my uncle before, actually just to track down their whereabouts."
Xiao Bi frowned slightly: "Where did those people come from? It is said that people who are interested in the antidote are just trying to save people.
I thought Lord Chunyu might do something to save his daughter.
Unexpectedly, no one from Ruoshui City came, but a lot of people with unknown origins were attracted."
Huan Yu said: "I wanted to wait for you to come back from the palace that day and tell you all these things, but unexpectedly I received a message from Brother A Liang and had to leave the capital early.
Over the past month, I have really had no time to spare, but fortunately the emperor paid off and finally allowed me to find some clues."
Xiao Bi urged: "Speak quickly and let me listen."
"Among those people, there are those from Jin Kingdom and some from Liuyun Kingdom.
The people of Liuyun Kingdom had a very clear purpose, that is, they wanted an antidote, and their methods were simple and crude, and they solved it quickly.
The situation on the Jinguo people's side is much more complicated. The antidote does not seem to be their goal, but a very important clue.
They probably want to use this clue to find a person, but I need to further verify who the person is."
Xiao Bi raised her hand, wanting to pat Huan Yu on the shoulder like before.
But now that he was wrapped in brocade quilt, she couldn't do anything.
She turned and scratched her head: "Brother Huan, when it comes to this matter, I always get you involved. Otherwise, with your caution, how could you be the target of public criticism?"
Huan Yu smiled and said: "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Everything in the world is always inextricably linked, and gains and losses are always just a matter of thoughts.
If I hadn't taken out the antidote, I might not have encountered so much trouble, but at the same time, I would never know what was going on with that Yi Renxiao."
Xiao Bi was completely stunned.
Yirenxiao?
Is there really such a magical thing in the world?!
At that time, when she heard Doctor Tang mention these three words for the first time, she thought he was joking.
Brother Huan's antidote saved the eldest sister. Although she was very curious about the rich aroma, she did not associate it with Yi Renxiao.
However, the facts told her that there was indeed a connection between the two, and that beautiful pill was the antidote to Tianmu Tears.
No wonder the eldest sister woke up soon after taking the medicine and recovered completely quickly.
She licked her dry lips: "You... smiled when you saw the beautiful lady?"
"Yes, I have seen it, but it is still an ordinary herb, not eye-catching at all. It is said that the fruit will not mature until the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Dragon Boat Festival? In other words, Yi Renxiao matures once every year?"
Having said that, Xiao Bi knew very well that things were definitely not that optimistic.
If the fruit of Yirenxiao could mature once a year, Tianmu Tears would not be considered a rare poison.
Huan Yu explained: "Yirenxiao will only bear fruit every eighteen years, and the fruit must be picked immediately at noon after ripening, otherwise it will lose its medicinal properties.
All in all, the whole process was very laborious.”
Xiao Bi thought for a while: "On the Dragon Boat Festival, we went to pick fruits together. Miss Chunyu has suffered for more than ten years, and her pain should be relieved as soon as possible."
Huan Yu nodded: "That's what I plan to do. Before that, we must be more careful and don't let anyone know about it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
The matter of Yi Renxiao has been explained clearly, but the doubts in Xiao Bi's heart have not been alleviated.
For example, how did Brother Huan find Yi Renxiao and why he knew so much about her situation.
Also, Yi Renxiao bears fruit only once every eighteen years, which means that the antidote that the eldest sister took was made at least eighteen years ago.
Second brother Huan came to this world exactly eighteen years ago.
If there is no connection between the two things, she doesn't believe it anyway.
But she also knew that the inside story must be very complicated, so she should wait until Brother Huan smoothed everything out before she could ask more questions slowly.
"No wonder you said you don't have a moment to spare. This matter is too complicated. It's your fault. If it were me, I would have given up long ago."
How could Huan Yu believe such words?
In addition to being meticulous in investigating a case, perseverance is equally important.
And perseverance is Xiaojiu's greatest strength, and he will never give up until he reaches his goal.
Since Xiao Bi didn't want to continue questioning, Huan Yu didn't want to continue talking.
He remembered what happened to Xiao Wei and others when they encountered bandits a few days ago.
"...Those bandits came very unexpectedly. The counties surrounding Tianshui County have complex terrain and banditry has always been a problem, but they never dared to provoke the county government.
And in order to ensure that you and Xiaohan arrive at Tianshui County smoothly, my grandfather sent people to check it out several times along the way."
Xiao Bi also said: "It is indeed very strange. My brother-in-law also sent someone to do the same thing and found nothing strange.
And I witnessed with my own eyes the process of Cao Jie's fight with the bandit leader.
Although his moves are complex and changeable, the shadow of the military can still be seen.
The Wei army has always appointed people on their merits, how can such a talented person easily become a bandit?"
Huan Yu raised his eyebrows: "You mean that the second group of bandits may be related to other countries, especially the Jin Kingdom."
