The next day, after Gong Huorong told Jing Ke, Jiran, Zhu Hai and the rest about how Du Sanniang encountered ghost and shadow people, she repeatedly called for the group of men who usually tried to fight bravely to be secretly surprised.
"There's actually such a thing?" After hearing everything, Thief's reaction was also the fastest, because he had such a temperament.
"I didn't expect that the Boxer Alliance would make enemies this fast. As soon as we arrived in Wei State, some of the Qin Thieves were already ready to take action." Mao Yun immediately nodded.
"I don't think it's necessarily Reese's men. If he really wanted to attack our people, then why did he pick San Niang instead of 'Thief Sheng'? What about Zhu Hai?" However, Xue Lun shook his head when he heard this. He stroked his long beard as if he had a question.
Of course, that's because I've been promoted to a martial arts expert. They didn't dare to lay their hands on me because they were afraid that I would fail." The thick-skinned bandit had come up with such a comical excuse in the face of Xue Lun's doubts.
At the side, Mao Yun, Xue Lun, Di Kun, and Jing Ke couldn't help but laugh loudly when they heard this. As for Du Sanniang and Gongsheng Rong, although they were women, laughing and scolding was too much of a delight, they could not help but burst out laughing. The originally surprised and frightened atmosphere was turned upside down by these self-righteous words.
"All of you are laughing so much, yet you are underestimating me." Seeing that everyone was smiling at him, he sat alone on the table with a depressed look on his face.
Heh heh, Brother Thief, it's not like we're looking down on you. Since you have powerful martial arts skills, Qin Thief is afraid of you, so I think it's better this way. Tonight, Brother Thief will be guarding the area outside the female's room. Mao Yunxiao saw that Thief Sheng was not in a good mood, so he stood up and walked over, putting one hand on Thief Sheng's shoulder and said in a good mood.
"Yes, I think that's a good suggestion. What do you guys think?" When Xue Lun saw that Mao was about to find another joke about Thief Sheng, he followed along with Mao Yun. At the same time, he pretended to ask Zhu Hai, Di Kun, and the others, so that they could help him act out this show.
"What Mao says is right." Everyone gave a thumbs up and nodded their heads to praise him. However, it wasn't because they wanted to express how the suggestion went, but because they wanted to see how he had played this trick on Stealing Ascending.
"You guys are bullying me!" Seeing that everyone had the same reaction, Thief Sheng knew that they had done it on purpose, so he started to vent his anger at them.
As for everyone else? Another round of laughter rang out, as they did not take Thief's childish attitude seriously.
"Alright, alright, everyone, please don't make fun of Brother God Thief anymore," Although Jing Ke also had a smile on his face, in the end, he was still a big shot and knew that he had to control his times, so he advised everyone, "It's better to think of a way to protect Third Mother and Miss Rong's safety."
When the crowd saw him coming out to persuade them, they stopped and fell into deep thought once more.
After a moment, Zhu Hai was the first to speak, "I think it's better if Old Zhu stands guard outside the women's quarters tonight. Old Zhu, I'd like to see what kind of background this ghostly figure has."
Although Zhu Hai was a crude person, his way of speaking was straightforward and straightforward.
"Mn, count me in as well." Brother Zhu and I will take turns keeping watch, so we can look after each other. " After hearing Zhu Hai's words, Di Kun also followed along.
Di Kun was also a crude person, so his speech and actions were more or less similar.
Just as Jing Ke wanted to acknowledge their willingness, suddenly a waiter's voice shouted from outside the door: "Doctor Su has arrived."
When Jing Ke and the rest turned around and came over, they discovered that someone had already pushed open the door and came straight over. That person with a refined aura was undoubtedly Su Li. However, looking at his face, he seemed to be somewhat worried.
Seeing that Su Li had entered his library, Jing Ke put aside the matter with Du Sanniang and turned to Su Li to pay his respects. "Doctor Su came in a hurry, what is the matter? Could it be that King Wei wants to summon us? "
However, Su Li, who was familiar with the situation, suddenly let out a sigh. He repeatedly shook his head and said, "The king's condition has worsened again. Special Envoy came all the way here to discuss a plan with Wei Daliang, and it just so happened that the King was suffering from such a serious illness. It truly is worrisome! "
"Oh, is King Wei's illness serious?" When Jing Ke heard Su Li repeatedly sigh, a wave of suspicion suddenly rose in his heart. He thought to himself: When I saw that King Wei Jingshi yesterday, it seems that he was only slightly weak. Now that he suddenly became so ill today, isn't it strange? Furthermore, it just so happened that on that night, Du Sanniang almost fell into the hands of a vicious person. If it wasn't someone who intentionally did it, how could it have been such a coincidence?
"That's right, but that group of quack doctors in the palace can't do anything. They can only kowtow and apologize." As Su Li answered Jing Ke's question, he started to get angry at the imperial physician.
"What about Prime Minister Wei and the Imperial Tutor?" At this time, Gongsheng Rong took the opportunity to ask Jing Ke.
"Wei Xiang had always wanted to protect himself. Now that he is so ill and has no one to discuss it with, he can naturally remain calm. Even though the Imperial Tutor is always by King Wei's side, he can only serve by his side and has no other choice. " When Su Li heard someone ask him a question, he was already anxious. He did not ask who the person was and answered without thinking.
Upon hearing Su Li's reply, Gong Zhuang Rong frowned slightly, but he quickly muttered to himself: "King Wei's face is red, but he is unconscious. I think this is not a disease, but some kind of soullessness due to the magic of the Voodoo Gu."
"soulless disease? "What disease is this?" Su Li had been worshiping Wei Chao for many years, but he had never heard of the term "soullessness" before. Therefore, he immediately turned around, wanting to hear the explanation of the voice behind him. When he turned around, he discovered that the person who had just spoken was actually a beautiful woman with a waist as thin as a willow, and a face as beautiful as Zhu Dan's. And that person, it was as if he had heard Jing Ke introduce her yesterday.
Although the heart meridian is no different from a normal person's, it's still a muddled state. His behavior is abnormal, but you don't know it, but if you say anything serious, you'll just lie down and not be able to drink, just be like a living dead person. "Feng Feiyun said." I was completely lost. "Since Su Li was staring at her, she must have wanted to know the reason why, so she explained everything to him in a leisurely manner.
"The lady's words are exactly the same as the illness of King Wei. It must be due to the soullessness disease, but what should I do? May I ask if you have a way to save her? " When Su Li heard that the description by Gong Huorong was exactly the same as Wei Jing Wang's current symptoms, he immediately waved his long sleeves and asked anxiously.
"Doctor Su, don't worry. Our Prince Jing has been learning the five elements since he was young and has studied the soulless illness since then. There might be a cure for King Wei's illness." While comforting Su Li, Gong Zhuang pointed at Jing Ke with her slender jade fingers, indicating for Su Li to ask Jing Ke for advice.
This Jing Ke was actually also very curious about the 'soullessness' that Gongsheng Rong had mentioned just now. As he was carefully listening to her explanation, all of a sudden, Gongsheng Rong's focus shifted to him, causing him to be at a complete loss. Actually, ever since he was a child, he had always been a wanderer wandering around, not knowing any Five Elements Arts at all. When had he ever studied this inconceivable disease, the "soullessness"?
However, just as he was about to refuse, he saw Gongsheng Rong's eyelashes rapidly blink towards him, signalling him to do as she said. Therefore, when the excuse reached his mouth, he immediately changed his face and casually glanced at Su Li, who had turned towards him, and pretended to be deep in thought, "This one only understands the basics, but if Doctor Su has any requests, then this one will try his best."
"What are you saying, Young Master Jing?" Right now, the royal physicians are helpless against the King Wei's illness. Naturally, they can't do anything about it. If young master is able to save them, the King Wei will definitely recover in the future and receive generous rewards. " When Su Li heard that Jing Ke was willing to save King Wei Jingxian in the face of danger, he immediately tried to persuade him with good words and made a promise.
However at this time, when Jing Ke's Thief, Zhu Hai, and the others heard that he actually understood the five elements techniques, they immediately became very curious, wanting to see the excitement within. This was the first time Senior Brother Earth Kun, who had been with him for many years, had heard of this matter, so he heard everyone jeering together, "Brother Qizi is knowledgeable, you make me feel like I'm out of reach. I hope you can take us with you to the Palace of Wei so that we can have a look."
"This …" However, he was also afraid that if he did not perform well at that time and made a scene, it would ruin the reputation of the disciples. Hence, he deliberately hesitated on one side, with his eyes cast towards Su Li, hoping that Su Li would reject this group of brothers who wanted to see the liveliness of his group with the excuse that the palace was forbidden from having too many people.
Su Li only thought that Jing Ke was afraid of being restricted by the ceremony and did not dare to agree to the rules of the palace, so he patted his chest and assured the crowd, "Everyone, rest assured and follow Brother Jing into the palace. As for the matter of the welcoming ceremony, leave it to me, Su Li, to take care of it.
"That's good." These people became even more interested when they heard Su Li's promise, and their jeers continued to resound in their ears.
But Jing Ke was full of bitter smiles, his face full of embarrassment, yet he couldn't show it. He could only accompany everyone else and chat and laugh, concealing his inner bitterness. However, since Gongsheng Rong insisted on him taking the risk, he must have had some confidence. As the advisor who proposed to rule over the Wei Country, he believed that he would not let her. So, at the same time that he was smirking, he took the opportunity to glance at Gong Luoran. He only saw her smiling without saying a word, as if she was confident. As a result, his heart became a lot calmer.
According to the imperial physician's report, Prince Wei Jing's condition was very critical, so Su Li didn't dare to delay for even a second. He waited for Jing Ke's response before hurriedly leading the group into the Wei Palace, and soon arrived in front of King Wei's bed.
The people standing in front of the bed were not only the civil officials such as Xu Jia, Wei Qi, and Tian Yan from yesterday. There were even more commander-in-chief dressed in Huban's flexible armor and a silver helmet with a crane plume, all of them looking anxious. It seemed that the King Wei's illness was indeed as Su Li had said. Otherwise, the civil officials would not have gathered together so that they could prepare themselves for the Crown Prince at any time.
"Dear subjects, please allow me, please allow Yan Guo's envoy Jing Ke to get close to the king, and request for his connections for the king!" Su Li led Jing Ke all the way to the palace, while calling out to all of the officials and generals who had lined up on either side of King Wei so that Jing Ke could quickly save King Wei's pulse.
None of the ministers dared to carelessly obstruct him, so they all made way for the special envoy to come forward and treat the King Wei's illness. However, none of them believed that Su Li, who was unable to cure even the imperial doctors, could tell what was going on because he was an envoy from the Wei Kingdom.
Thief, Zhu Hai, and the others followed Jing Ke in entering and leaving the Wei Kingdom palace as if there was no one else present, naturally feeling very carefree in their hearts. From time to time they would glance at the officials on both sides, thinking complacently in their hearts: What noble general, now that you've met us from the martial arts world, aren't you going to just stand aside?
But just as they were secretly pleased with themselves, they suddenly heard someone in front of them shout out: "Doctor Su, you led the Yan Nation's envoys straight to the Emperor's bed, completely against the law and etiquette. Could it be that you want to offend Heaven's Face?"
Although that person's voice was ordinary, it was still filled with strength. The majesty in his words resounded throughout the surroundings of the bed. Thief, Zhu Hai and the others looked over and saw that the man was dressed in a purple embroidered imperial uniform. He was the current Prime Minister of the Wei Kingdom, Wei Qi. Wei Qi was Su Li's mortal enemy. Now that he saw Su Li disregarding the severity of the etiquette system, he naturally found this opportunity to punish him and establish his dignity before the hundreds of officials present.
"Wei Xiang, this old subject has led Envoy Jing here without restraint in order to save the King, and yet you are making things difficult for him. If the King really misses something, are you going to be able to handle it?" Faced with Wei Qi's scolding, Su Li faced him directly and did not cower, just like he did when he was at odds with Wei Qi.
"To save the King?" A cold and sharp light flashed in his eyes as he said while squinting at Jing Ke, "Even the imperial doctors are shaking their heads and sighing with joy. Could it be that this person can save the King?"
"The King doesn't enter, his mind is muddled, but his heart veins are still there. It's because he's suffering from soullessness. This Brother Jing is proficient in the five elements, so he can definitely save the King." Su Li had just heard Gong Zhuang Rong's understanding of the 'soullessness'. He was just like an expert in the fine arts, so he was naturally extremely convinced of his own judgement.
"Oh?" As soon as Su Li's words came out, the Imperial Tutor Tian Yan, who was always bending over beside King Wei, suddenly looked up. He looked at the young man before him once more, and asked doubtfully, "You actually know the Five Elements Arts? I wonder if you could give me a brief introduction or two. "
