172. Conditions(1/2)
After the battle ended, most of the assassins were killed, and several escaped successfully.
Afu kicked away the assassin's body, ran to Yuan Qiu, and looked up and down, "The princess is not injured, right?"
Yuan Qiu shook his head, his eyes crossed Afu and Mr. Zhou, and looked in the direction they were coming.
Afu smiled, "Princess, do you miss your master?"
Yuan Qiu knocked on Ah Fu's forehead, "Don't talk nonsense. Where are others?"
Ah Fu sighed, "It's gone."
Yuan Qiu:...
Mr. Zhou kicked Ah Fu in the ass, and Ah Fu coughed lightly, "Mrs. Xin's master is a strange old man. We went there for several days before we saw him. He said he could save his master, and then drove us out. So we don't know how the master is now."
Yuan Qiu was speechless, "Why did Mrs. Xin say nothing?"
"Mrs. Xin said that since her master said she could save her, she would definitely save her. We can't stay there, so we can do whatever we should do." Ah Fu frowned, "I asked her when her master would come out. She said she didn't know that her master was a poison king and would not save people easily. Once she saved people, there would definitely be conditions. She didn't have to pay any price."
"That means that Su Mo is sure to live, but he can only come back when he can come back, can't say?" Yuan Qiu frowned.
Ah Fu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's what it means! That place is very strange. After we came out, we couldn't even find the way back. There was no way to go back first. Princess, please tell me, will that weird old man stew the master and eat it?"
Yuanqiu nodded, "I think it's fine and tender, it's best to steam it, and it's okay to stew the soup."
Old Man Zhou:...
Duan Rong:...
Assassins were all dead soldiers. They wanted to leave a few living robbers, but they all committed suicide.
Afu checked and said that there was no mark on the assassin. Judging from their martial arts, they did not seem to have been trained in a unified manner, but rather like the martial artists who were recruited together.
"It must be the Nanzhao royal family who did it. In order to catch the princess, Su Zhi!" Ah Fu hummed softly, "Princess, how is Su Zhi now?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it after I brought it back," said Yuan Qiu.
Ah Fu was ready to whine, "Let me leave it to me, and I promise he will die every day, and die again after living!"
When Ah Fu came back, the one he brought back was good news. Yuan Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better.
"Grandpa, let's go back first, Afu and Grandpa Zhou will protect me." Yuan Qiu confirmed that Duan Rong was not injured, so he told him not to send him off.
But Duan Rong insisted on watching Yuan Qiu return to Duke Rong's mansion before he felt relieved, so Yuan Qiu let him go.
Ah Fu led Feiyu and followed Yuan Qiu, talking about what happened in the past half month.
From time to reason, the place where Mrs. Xin’s master is located should be in a hidden valley at the junction of Dongming and Nanzhao, with a natural poison barrier. When they went there, they were brought in by Mrs. Xin with her eyes blindfolded, and Afu and Zhou were thrown out with her eyes blindfolded.
"The scenery in the valley is good, but nothing can be touched. Looking at the beautiful flowers, there is not a single one that is not poisonous! I accidentally got into trouble several times!" Ah Fu couldn't help but complain, "That old monster treats us to the full poison banquet, and they are all insects and snakes, which scares me to death!"
Yuan Qiu chuckled, "Did Su Mo eat it?"
"The master has never liked to eat strange things, so of course he wouldn't touch them. But Mrs. Xin said that she should not let her master think that we are ungrateful and ask the guest to follow the host's will. Then, I ate a few bugs." Afu cried with a sad face, his tone was quiet, "Sounds..."
"You found it was quite delicious?" Yuan Qiu asked with a smile.
Ah Fu grinned, "Princess, you are so smart! If you close your eyes and don't think about what that thing looks like, it does taste pretty good! But I don't want to eat it again!"
"Little Afu, you have worked hard. Let your master raise your salary." Yuan Qiu said with a smile.
Afu shook his head, "The master has become a son-in-law now. He has no property, including everyone, all belong to the princess. I don't expect him. Just the princess will be nice to me!"
"Little Afu, do you have any ideals?" Yuan Qiu asked.
Ah Fu was stunned, "Ideal? My ideal is to live well with the master and the princess, and give birth to a bunch of little babies!"
Yuan Qiu's mouth twitched slightly, "I'm asking you what you want to do?"
"I want to take care of your children!" Ah Fu said with a smile.
Yuan Qiu held his forehead, "If you don't follow us, what do you want to do?"
Afu frowned, "Princess, are you going to abandon me?"
Yuan Qiu:...
Later, Mr. Zhou and Duan Rong saw each other's strength just now. Duan Rong proposed to have some time to discuss it. Mr. Zhou said he would be ready at any time.
When he arrived outside the gate of Duke Rong's mansion, Yuan Qiu pulled Duan Rong aside, "Grandpa, our relationship is not a secret, and anyone with a heart can find it. I am afraid that those who want to deal with me will target Xiaoyun's brother, so he will be more careful in the future and have more thoughtful interactions with people."
Duan Rong's eyes froze, "Okay, I understand. You go back quickly."
Seeing Yuan Qiu enter the door, Duan Rong got on the horse and left, and arranged a few more secret guards for Duan Yunhe. The Duan family had money, and before Duan Rong came to the capital, he recruited several experts from the martial arts world, which was just in handy.
Ah Fu didn't dare to talk nonsense in that valley before, for fear of causing the weird old man to be unhappy.
On the way back with Old Man Zhou, Old Man Zhou didn't pay much attention to what he said.
Now that I have returned to my familiar home and saw Yuan Qiu, Afu opened up and told Yuan Qiu in detail about the period when Su Mo and her separation were separated.
"The master woke up for seven or eight days and scared us to death! As soon as the master woke up, he asked the princess. He said it was understandable that the princess did not accompany him, and he blamed us for not letting the princess go on the road alone."
"Luckily the princess didn't go. What if that weird old man took a fancy to the princess' talent and forced the princess to be his apprentice there? The master said that this is very likely! I think too!"
"The worst thing in that valley is that no one knows how to cook, and Mrs. Xin doesn't know how to cook at all. She doesn't know how she lived alone. She could burn the pot even if she cooked a porridge. I'm hungry and lost weight. I miss the boiled fish, spicy chicken, dumplings and noodles made by the princess every day! So is the master!"
"Master, you can't think about the princess! You can't sleep every day, and you will definitely fall into a coma again when you sleep. The conscience of heaven and earth is absolutely true!"
Yuan Qiu laughed, feeling that when Ah Fu came back, there was a breath of happiness floating in the air.
There is nothing else, Afu said a lot, but in fact, Su Mo spent most of his days in a coma, and his awakening time was very short.
Seeing Ah Fu's appearance, Yuan Qiu knew that Su Mo would definitely be fine. As for the time being when she came back, it was not important to her. It would be great if a person could live.
On the way back, Ah Fu had heard many rumors spreading in Wan'an City. He learned that Yuan Qiu was not idle during this period, and the Mu family had undergone a huge change. Yuan Qiu is no longer surnamed Mu.
Afu agreed with Rong Lan himself as the Duke of the Kingdom of China, abandoning the scumbag, and changing his surname to his children!
Mu Zhenxuan's hypocritical character is not worthy of his mother-in-law, the mother-in-law of his family. Rong Yuanqiu is much better than Mu Yuanqiu!
Yuan Qiu first took Afu and Old Man Zhou to Guanlan Courtyard. When Rong Lan saw them coming back, she immediately asked Su Mo what happened.
Ah Fu told Rong Lan what he told Yuan Qiu again, and Rong Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to be alive."
Hongling fed Afu and Mr. Zhou to wash, and Yuan Qiu personally cooked to cook for them late-night snacks. It was getting late now and everyone else had eaten it.
Of course, there was no boiled fish and spicy chicken in the middle of the night. Yuan Qiu made them fragrant shredded pork noodles, which was enough.
Ah Fu sighed while eating, "Suddenly I feel happier than my master, hehe! My master knows that he must want to hit me!"
"Don't worry about him. What I want to eat tomorrow, I'll make it for you." Yuan Qiu said with a smile.
Ah Fu said that his princess is really good! It feels so good to go home!
Afu took the initiative to ask about Rong Yuancheng's situation. After Yuan Qiu talked, he said that he and Old Man Zhou would stay to protect Yuan Qiu, and believed that Qingfeng and the others would be able to save Rong Yuancheng.
"As long as my master recovers, those miscellaneous things will not be enough to see at that time!" Ah Fu said.
When they learned that the antidotes and medicinal materials that Su Mo needed in Yuan Qiu were almost found, Afu said that he would not be able to use them. They didn't know how to find Su Mo now.
"We didn't meet Xie Jingci. That bastard might have been arrested by the people of Nanzhao. He is really a guy who has failed to do anything!" Ah Fu didn't like Xie Jingci, the main reason was that Xie Jingci once tried to seduce Yuan Qiu. "But we met the Zhu family who returned to Beijing from Nanfeng City this morning. They were mostly walking slowly and they expected to arrive in the capital tomorrow. The princess would ignore Zhu Jinnian at that time!"
Yuan Qiu was amused and crying, "Little Afu, you are not a big man, you are quite wide-minded. Are you full? Go and wash and sleep when you are full."
"From tomorrow, I will be my entourage for the princess." Ah Fu said.
"Okay." Yuan Qiu nodded.
Old man Zhou just ate and didn't speak.
After Afu and Old Man Zhou finished their meal, Yuan Qiu saw that the lights were still on in Rong Lan's room, so he went over to knock on the door.
"Qiuer? Come in." Rong Lan's voice came from inside.
Yuan Qiu pushed the door open and found Rong Lan making a child's little clothes.
"Hey? Is it because my memory is confused? How do I remember that the little dress girl like this has already been prepared?" Yuan Qiu was a little confused.
Rong Lan put down the half-sewn small clothes in her hand, "This is exactly the same, the second one. Ruoer is about the same age as the child in Lingyue's belly, and she can wear them when she is born."
"This is good. When you wear the same clothes, you will look like twins." Yuan Qiu said with a smile.
Originally, Mu Yuanruo and Jun Lingyue’s two children were cousins. Although there is no sign of a man or a woman, the small clothes made by Rong Lan can be worn by boys and girls.
"It seems that Su Mo is fine, but he will come back a little later." Rong Lan said, and a big rock in his heart was supposed to be put down.
Yuanqiu and Rong Lan mentioned that they discussed the construction of a hospital in Wan'an City.
Rong Lan listened carefully to Yuan Qiu’s thoughts, and after listening, she agreed and told Yuan Qiu to let go and just tell her what she needed.
At this time, in a hidden valley at the junction of Dongming and Nanzhao, Su Mo woke up from a coma again, spurting out a mouthful of blood, without even the strength to raise his hand.
He remembered that Ah Fu and Old Man Zhou had already left, and now he didn't know if he had returned to Yuan Qiu.
Mrs. Xin's hoarse voice came from her ears, "I'll take you to see your master. No matter what he says, you agree. It's important to save your life!"
Su Mo nodded slightly and was helped up by Mrs. Xin.
Soon, Su Mo met the owner of the valley again, a thin old man with a messy hair and beard that could not see his facial features clearly.
The old man waved his hand, and Mrs. Xin retreated respectfully. He raised his old and turbid eyes and looked at Su Mo, "If I don't save you within three days, you will definitely die."
Su Mo closed his eyes and said, "Please save my life for me." He wanted to live, go home, and Yuanqiu, and his heart hurt.
