Chapter 118: Escape by the Zi Shi River
Under the outbreak of the virus, no one in the entire Beizhui region was spared. Luzhou, Rongzhou, and Huaizhou have been completely occupied, and the rest have long been torn to pieces, with countless casualties, to the point of being frightened by the news.
Only Jiangzhou can still be saved. The imperial court attaches great importance to this matter and has made it a priority in the government affairs. It has also issued a reward order. If anyone can curb this epidemic, a reward of one thousand taels of silver is offered, but no one can.
competent.
Seeing that the weather is getting hotter day by day, Jiang Zuiyao is already five months pregnant in the hottest summer season. Her belly is already showing her pregnancy and she looks a little cumbersome when walking.
She has been hiding the fact that the Taixuan tribe developed the antidote because she knows what the Taixuan tribe will do once they get the antidote.
But she also knew that this was not the way to go. She could avoid the first day but not the fifteenth. Sooner or later, the Taixuan clan would know about it.
Until August, when Jiang Zuiyao was six months pregnant, Jiang Zuiyao already had more than a dozen antidote injections in her hands, and Shao Ziqing's injuries were almost healed, but she never told him that he
It's a matter of antidote.
Today, the people from the Taixuan Clan came to urge them again. Seeing that the three-month deadline was approaching, and as the epidemic in Beizhi became increasingly difficult to control, the Taixuan Clan seemed a little anxious.
Jiang Zuiyao was sitting on a chair, holding a fan in her hand and fanning constantly. She was thinking about how to get out of a miserable day. After so long, she thought of countless ways and gave up the idea again and again.
Because it's not feasible.
When the night got dark, Dieyi came, carrying a pot of herbal tea, and said: "It's hot in the summer, so let's have a sip of herbal tea."
Jiang Zuiyao took the tea cup and took a sip, and immediately noticed something strange about the tea in the cup.
This was not an ordinary herbal tea, but one with added herbs. This made Jiang Zuiyao confused. She raised her eyes and glanced at Dieyi. He would definitely not poison her. She hurriedly took a sip and tasted it carefully. She knew that there was something in this tea.
What.
Purple goldenrod, spring leaves, lotus leaves, gardenia, peach chrysanthemum, pear leaves.
These six herbs are not the herbs used in summer herbal tea. The taste mixed together is very unpleasant, and they are not a prescription for treating diseases.
Why?
Jiang Zuiyao glanced at Dieyi, but he didn't say anything.
Staring at the tea in her hand, Jiang Zuiyao recited the names of those herbs over and over in her mind. For a long time, her eyes suddenly lit up and she found the key point.
She connected the first word of the six medicines and it was: Zishihetangtaoli.
Escape from the lotus pond at Zishi!!
Suddenly, a person's name popped up in Jiang Zuiyao's mind: Qin Nanxian.
Except for him, no one would have thought of this method.
Qin Nanxian came to save her, but why was it sent by Dieyi?
Jiang Zuiyao quickly looked at Dieyi. Dieyi guessed the meaning in Jiang Zuiyao's eyes and said, "This is a rare opportunity. The antidote is left. You should run away quickly."
In an instant, Jiang Zuiyao realized that Dieyi, who had never revealed a word, had always wanted to save her.
"Thank you." Jiang Zuiyao said her thanks. She knew how difficult it was for Dieyi, as a prince, to make such a decision.
Dieyi just replied lightly: "The prince is kind to me, I will betray him only this time."
At night, when midnight was approaching, Dieyi took Jiang Zuiyao out of the gate of the seventh floor, and there were people from the Taixuan tribe standing outside the door.
Jiang Zuiyao has not seen the outside of the door for a long time. The outside of the door is already different from when he came here. There are tables, chairs and soft couches outside the door, which are used to guard Jiang Zuiyao's resting place day and night. Although they do not follow Jiang Zuiyao step by step.
, but they also stick to each other in other ways.
When the Taixuan people saw Jiang Zuiyao coming out, they immediately stood up vigilantly. Zong Yuan also stood up, walked in front and asked Jiang Zuiyao: "What are you doing out here?"
Jiang Zuiyao had already thought of her words and replied: "I'll go to the lotus pond to pick some lotus leaves to use as medicine."
Zong Yuan was still vigilant after all, and asked coldly: "I can just ask someone to pick it up, you don't have to go there yourself."
Jiang Zuiyao insisted: "You guys know what kind of things to pick."
Zong Yuan looked at Jiang Zuiyao warily, refusing to believe her. Jiang Zuiyao then said: "Now that the experiment has made breakthrough progress, the only thing that needs is this lotus leaf to be used as medicine. Aren't you Taixuan tribe anxious? You keep urging me.
Me, why are you stopping me now?"
Zong Yuan narrowed his eyes severely: "You'd better not play any tricks."
Concealing her inner guilt, Jiang Zuiyao replied: "This is the territory of the Taixuan Clan. What can I do? If you are worried, you can send someone to go with me."
Developing an antidote is now the top priority of the Taixuan Clan. Now that there is chaos in the north and the trend is general, the Taixuan Clan really can't wait any longer.
Zong Yuan said: "I will go with you personally."
Jiang Zuiyao followed Zong Yuan down the building, walked down the steps and walked a few hundred steps west to a lotus pond.
Facing the moonlight, you can see that there are wooden bridges and pavilions above the lotus pond, which must be used for viewing. However, the place has been abandoned for so many years, and the furnishings have already become dilapidated.
There was a small boat in the lotus pond. Jiang Zuiyao got on the boat. Zong Yuan rowed the boat himself and looked at Jiang Zuiyao with Dieyi.
Jiang Zuiyao looked at the calm lake, feeling uneasy in her heart. She didn't know how to save the calm situation in front of her.
Zong Yuan rowed to a place where lotus flowers were densely packed and stopped. Jiang Zuiyao pretended to be picking lotus leaves, but her eyes were secretly observing her surroundings and looking at the sky. It was already midnight.
After picking a few lotus leaves, Zong Yuan asked: "Is it ready?"
Jiang Zuiyao shook her head: "It's not enough."
She was a little impatient at the moment, after all, there were not many opportunities to come out.
Just when she was afraid that Zong Yuan would not stay any longer, she suddenly heard a strange noise under the water, as if something was swimming over. When she took a closer look, several black shadows appeared in the water.
It's human!
This also alarmed Zong Yuan. Zong Yuan immediately dropped the oar, drew his sword and stared at the black figure under the water with vigilance, and roared: "Who is it!"
No one answered him, only those black shadows were seen swimming faster and faster, heading straight towards Jiang Zuiyao.
Only then did Zong Yuan realize something was wrong. He glared at Jiang Zuiyao angrily, but he had no time to blame him. Looking at the several black shadows in the water, he couldn't handle it alone. He turned to his men on the shore and shouted:
"There's an intruder! Someone come quickly!"
The people standing on the shore were all members of the Taixuan tribe. They all possessed martial arts skills. After hearing Zong Yuan's shouts, they immediately jumped into the air, stepped on the water and floated on the water. The water splashed everywhere, and they moved very fast.
We went straight to the boat.
Just when Jiang Zuiyao was at a loss, a pair of big hands suddenly appeared from the water and grabbed Jiang Zuiyao's arm. The force was so strong that she was caught directly into the water before she could react.
"thump!"
When Jiang Zuiyao fell into the water, he panicked and saw the face of the man who caught him in the water. It was Qin Feng!
