It was a cold night, and after Gu Qinghan fled, the hot blood rolling in Qining's body gradually cooled down. The room seemed to be filled with the smell of orchid-like musk sweat from Gu Qinghan's delicate body, and the mature woman's body fragrance made people linger. .
He knew that he was stimulated by Gu Qinghan's plump body tonight, and he was quite impulsive. If Gu Qinghan left without even confiscating the necklace, Qi Ning would definitely feel that something was wrong, and the distance between him and Gu Qinghan might be greatly lengthened in the future. Fortunately, Gu Qinghan still accepted the necklace, which made Qining feel more comfortable.
He wasn't sure what Gu Qinghan was thinking now, but he also knew that the beautiful woman was indeed a conservative and conservative woman. Although she didn't really want Gu Qinghan tonight, he actually had a bit more respect for her in his heart.
On the way back, he had already rested a little, and after all the trouble, he really didn't feel sleepy at this time. He thought for a while, tidied up, put on the newly delivered cloak, and went out to the yard to be led by the stable. A horse came, and then headed directly to Yong'an Hall with only one guard.
He knew very well that ordinary opponents should be able to handle them by themselves, and even if they couldn't handle them themselves, it would be useless to bring a few more guards.
In addition, the capital was still under martial law and there were soldiers from the Tiger God Battalion patrolling the streets, so there was no need to worry too much about running into trouble again.
When we arrived at Yong'an Hall, the sky was already slightly bright. We knocked on the door and went in. The person who opened the door was Qi Feng. When he saw Qi Ning appearing, he was stunned for a moment. Then he was filled with surprise and said in a voiceless voice: "Master Hou, you...!"
Qi Ning and the accompanying guards entered the house. Qi Feng hurriedly closed the door, turned around and lowered his voice and said: "Master Hou, are you okay? Is it Brother Duan and the others...!"
He only thought it was Duan Canghai who had rescued Qi Ning. Qin Ning shook his head and was about to speak when he saw a middle-aged beggar standing beside the chair in the corner where he had received Elder Suzaku before. When Qi Ning came in, he stood up, let his hair down, and tied it with a black band on his forehead.
Qi Ning felt a little familiar. The middle-aged beggar saw Qi Ning staring at him and felt a little embarrassed. He came forward and said, "Master Hou."
Qi Ning suddenly remembered that the last time he went to the Ghost Golden Sheep Branch in Luogu Lane, this person seemed to be next to Bai Shenghao, the leader of the Ghost Golden Sheep Branch. He was also an important figure in the Ghost Golden Sheep Branch. He nodded slightly, thinking in his heart But I'm a little confused, I don't know why this person is here.
"Master Hou, this is Shangguan Lingfeng. Chief Bai was infected by the epidemic and unable to manage the affairs. Shangguan Lingfeng temporarily acts as the helmsman to assist Elder Suzaku in handling affairs." Qi Feng explained from the side.
Qi Ning finally understood and asked, "How is Captain Bai doing now?"
Shangguan Lingfeng looked solemn and said: "After Captain Bai knew that he was infected, in order not to injure others, he took the initiative to put himself under house arrest in the house, without leaving the house and not allowing anyone in. It is not clear what is going on now. , but...but the situation is always not good."
Qi Ning glanced at the room where Tang Nuo was, and saw that the door was closed. In addition to Qi Feng and Shangguan Lingfeng, there were two guards in the room, also standing aside.
There was an indescribable silence in the drug store. Qi Ning frowned and asked, "How is Miss Tang doing? Is there any progress on the antidote...?"
Qi Feng said: "Now we are waiting for the news about Miss Tang." After a pause, he explained: "Master Hou... After Master Hou's accident, Brother Duan asked us not to disturb Miss Tang, so as not to break Miss Tang's heart. After all, it is a major event that concerns the lives of many people and cannot be delayed. Brother Duan and Lao Zhao took people out of the city to pursue it... Just yesterday afternoon, Miss Tang found the formula...!"
Qi Ning said happily: "You mean, the antidote has been prepared?"
Qi Feng said: "This... Mr. Hou, I can't say for sure. It seems that he is a match, but... But I can't be sure."
"What exactly is going on?"
"Master Marquis, Miss Tang did find the antidote formula, but she said she couldn't announce it immediately. She had to find someone to experiment with it first. This antidote can save lives. If there is any negligence, not only will it not be able to save people, but I'm afraid it will also It will implicate the Marquis." Qi Feng said: "So I went to Luogu Lane, found the Shangguan helmsman, and asked him to send a poisoned person. Five hours have passed since last night. There are still six hours to go. Miss Tang said, we will know after six hours whether this antidote can work or not." He walked to the counter and pointed to the hourglass above, "Master Hou, this is Those who count the hours, when the hourglass inside has finished leaking, it will be six hours. At that time, you can knock on the door and tell Miss Tang, and you will know the final result."
Qining walked over quickly and saw that there was not much left in the hourglass. The time would be up in about ten minutes at most. He frowned and asked, "Does success or failure depend on this one move?"
Qi Feng's expression also became serious, and he nodded: "It took several days and nearly a hundred kinds of prescriptions were tested, and finally Miss Tang finally determined the antidote formula. Miss Tang didn't say anything, but Mr. Song secretly told us I said, if this recipe fails, I’m afraid Miss Tang won’t be able to find a way to detoxify it.”
When Qi Ning heard this, he felt nervous.
Shangguan Lingfeng looked solemn and said: "Master Hou, over there in Nanhe Lane, I heard that nearly two thousand people have been imprisoned. So far, sixty or seventy people in our Beggar Gang have died. There are still more people imprisoned now." There are three to four hundred people, if...if this fails, the consequences will be disastrous."
Qi Ning nodded slightly, but secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that God would bless him and allow the people in the capital to survive this disaster.
"Miss Tang and Mr. Song are still inside?"
Qi Feng shook his head and said: "Miss Tang is still inside. Mr. Song really insists on sleeping in the small room next to her. He is old and has been sleeping for three or four hours. We can't wake him up."
"Then... then Miss Tang hasn't rested?" Qining frowned.
Qi Feng shook his head and said: "Miss Tang has not rested for several days and nights, and she has not even taken a few bites of food. I am really worried... Hey, I am really worried about how she, a weak girl, can hold on."
Qi Ning's expression was even more solemn. If he hadn't thought that he would know the answer in just a few moments, he would have gone over and opened the door anyway and let Tang Nuo rest for a while.
Qi Ning sat down on the chair, while Qi Feng and Shangguan Lingfeng stood beside him. The wind was roaring outside, and although there was a stove burning in the room, the atmosphere was solemn and deserted.
At this time, everyone knew what it meant to live like a year, every second was extremely difficult, and the depressing atmosphere even made people breathless.
Qining knew that he felt this way, so Tang Nuo was under a mountain of pressure. I am afraid that among the hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, no one was under greater pressure than Tang Nuo.
Under such pressure, even if I lie down on my bed, I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep.
Qi Ning closed his eyes slightly, and the whistling of the cold wind outside could be clearly heard, like the roar of a ghost. It seemed that several years had passed. He suddenly heard Qi Feng shouting: "Master Hou, the hour... the hour has arrived!"
Qi Ning almost jumped up. Without looking at the hourglass, he rushed to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying: "Miss Tang, the time has come, the time has come!"
After a moment, the door opened with a squeaking sound, and Tang Nuo, who was wearing a purple phoenix vine tights with bulging curves, finally appeared in front of her. Her beautiful face was pale without a trace of blood. She was holding on to the door with one hand. Originally, The bright eyes were also dim, and the edges were covered with bloodshot eyes. It was obvious at a glance that they were extremely tired.
When Tang Nuo saw Qi Ning, the corners of his lips curved up, with a slight smile. Suddenly, he fell forward. Qi Ning exclaimed "Miss Tang" and held Tang Nuo in his arms. Tang Nuo moved his hand softly, but his body felt a little cold. Qin Ning was horrified. Tang Nuo raised a hand, holding a piece of paper. His arm was so weak that he seemed unable to lift it halfway.
Qi Ning couldn't care about anything else. He stretched out his hand to hold her hand and said anxiously: "Miss Tang, how are you? What's wrong with you?" He turned around and said: "Mr. Song, quickly, let Mr. Song get up and let Miss Tang take a look..." !”
Tang Nuo's limp body leaned against Qi Ning, obviously because he was too tired and had to do this. He said softly: "No need... I'm fine, just take a rest...!" With a slight smile on his lips: "That's okay. , Fang Zi... Take the Fang Zi, there will be no problem, immediately... save people immediately...!"
Qi Feng, Shangguan Lingfeng and several other guards were already nearby. They had been working extremely hard for several days. When they heard Tang Nuo's words, they were startled at first, and then they all He was overjoyed. Qi Feng had already raised his hands and said joyfully: "It's done, it's done, hahaha...!" In fact, Qi Feng has been extremely nervous for the past few hours. In the last moment, his tense nerves were almost About to break, when he heard the answer, he almost collapsed. He hugged Shangguan Lingfeng regardless of his sloppy appearance, and his eyes turned red with joy.
Shangguan Lingfeng was also extremely happy. Instead of feeling inappropriate when being hugged by Qi Feng, he hugged Qi Feng as well, tears bursting from his eyes.
He knew very well that if Tang Nuo failed, the lives of the hundreds of brothers in the Beggar Clan would be lost. But if Tang Nuo succeeded, the lives of those hundreds of brothers would be snatched back from the hands of the Lord of Hell. He had been in the Beggar Clan for many years and was considered a prominent figure in the world. He had experienced countless joys and sorrows, but at this moment, he couldn't restrain his excitement and joy and cried with joy.
Qi Ning took the prescription from Tang Nuo's hand, handed it to Qi Feng, and said, "Copy it immediately and bring it back to Captain Shangguan." At this time, the most worried thing was Tang Nuo's body, and he hugged her up. , walked towards the house on the side. Before he could enter, Mr. Song had already walked out of the house. He was startled when he saw Qi Ning coming with Tang Nuo in his arms. Qin Ning already said: "Mr. Song, go and get ready."
Although Mr. Song had been working hard these past two days, he had slept for a few hours after all, and had finally recovered a little bit. However, Tang Nuo had not slept for several days and nights, and he was testing drugs at a high intensity, and his energy and physical strength were almost exhausted. , Qi Ning did not say much to Mr. Song, and entered the room. This was the only place in the medicine shop where she could lie down and rest. At this time, Tang Nuo was extremely tired, so Qi Ning could only let her rest here for a while, not to be too particular.
He walked to the bed and said softly: "Miss Tang, rest here for a while. I will arrange to rescue people immediately. You...!" He lowered his head and found that Tang Nuo had fallen asleep in his arms in just a moment. , that beautiful face was pale and looked extremely sad. It looked pure and flawless, like a child, but there was a slight smile on the curved lips.
