Poison Genius Consort 2: Emperor’s Swallow

Chapter 180: Entering the mountain, the old ruins of the Gu family

Views:

Gu Feiyan was not afraid of anything else, but was afraid that the shopkeeper would delay their time.

She didn't care about whether she was wrong or not, she apologized as soon as she opened her mouth, "Shopkeeper, I'm really sorry yesterday! It's all my fault."

Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, let alone face her such a sincere attitude of admitting mistakes

The shopkeeper originally wanted to continue scolding her, but after hearing this, he calmed down somewhat.

Gu Feiyan hastily offered a large package of medicinal materials prepared last night, "This is a little sympathy, I would like to express my apologies, and please have a lot, my lord, so don't be angry."

The shopkeeper didn't move, Gu Feiyan deliberately opened the medicinal materials, and seeing what was inside, not to mention the shopkeeper, even Jun Jiuchen was shocked.

There are all precious medicinal materials here, such as Polygonum multiflorum, velvet antler, hippocampus, winter worm, ganoderma lucidum, musk, snow lotus, it can be said that there are all rare medicinal materials that can be named.

Jun Jiuchen didn't believe that Gu Feiyan would bring so many things with her when she went out, so he looked at the small medicine cauldron on her waist. As for the shopkeeper, he didn't think too much about it, his eyes were already wide open!

In fact, the old deacon of Shennonggu personally introduced the people, and he couldn't do anything to them. He just couldn't hold his breath, and wanted to continue to scold Gu Feiyan. Between continuing to scold and medicinal materials, of course he had to choose the latter!

"Hehe, for the sake of the old deacon, I won't bother you about this matter!"

The shopkeeper said, and took the medicine package casually.

Gu Feiyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked, "Then when shall we go into the mountains to see Dr. Gu?"

The shopkeeper didn't make things difficult, he glanced at the sky, and said, "In half an hour, if the Third Highness Wan Jin comes back, we will go into the mountain today, if not, we can only wait until tomorrow."

Gu Feiyan's dislike for Baili Mingchuan increased by three points. She hesitated, and took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, who introduced him?"

The shopkeeper glanced at her and said nothing.

Gu Feiyan deliberately provoked the general, "Is the face of the old deacon of Shennonggu not as good as that of the National People's Congress? How to say, we have to have priority, right?"

The shopkeeper saw through Gu Feiyan's intentions at a glance, and didn't say much, just let her wait obediently.

After the shopkeeper left, Gu Feiyan said in a low voice, "Fake decent!"

Jun Jiuchen opened his mouth, "I have always been curious about where Baili Mingchuan learned her medicine skills."

It was only then that Gu Feiyan realized that His Royal Highness Prince Jing had been standing aside, recalling yesterday's embarrassing incidents and the eavesdropped words, she didn't dare to look him in the eyes anymore.

She said, "Baili Mingchuan said that he has a master, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Master?"

Jun Jiuchen was surprised. Baili Mingchuan is the eldest son of the Wanjin royal family, ranking third. He is famous throughout the Xuankong Continent for his extravagance, indulgence, absurdity and promiscuity. However, no one has ever heard of him having a master.

If he really has a master, could it be an unknown master

If not, where did his medicine and poison skills that can rival Gu Feiyan come from

Studying medicine and medicine is not something that can be accomplished in one day, and talent alone is not enough. It must take years of hard study.

Gu Feiyan's thinking was actually similar to Jun Jiuchen's, but she didn't dare to talk too much, for fear that His Royal Highness Prince Jing would suspect her medicinal skills.

As soon as the two arrived downstairs, they saw Baili Mingchuan coming in from outside.

Baili Mingchuan raised his eyebrows and sized them up. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Feiyan immediately shouted, "Shop er, get your shopkeeper over here, and tell him you can go!"

Baili Mingchuan laughed and said, "It seems that you admitted your mistake."

Gu Feiyan held grudges silently in her heart, determined to learn from His Royal Highness King Jing, never answered any questions, and ignored him!

As soon as the shopkeeper came over, he saw that everyone had arrived, so he didn't talk nonsense, he personally took charge of a small wooden boat and brought them into the mountain.

The shopkeeper was punting at the stern of the boat, and Gu Feiyan was the first to board the boat, snatching the seat at the bow, and hurriedly waved to Jun Jiuchen, "Your Highness, here!"

A look of helplessness flashed in Jun Jiuchen's eyes, but he still walked over and sat beside Gu Feiyan. Baili Mingchuan glanced at them, with a sneer of disdain, and ran to the bow to accompany the shopkeeper.

The way into the mountain is also a waterway, just follow the main river road of Yanyunjian. Unlike the slow cruise ships on the river, the shopkeeper's speed was very fast, and the small wooden boat sailed out of the town very quickly.

The two sides of the river are no longer houses and pavilions built near the water, but bamboo forests with emerald green colors, which reflect green the river water that was originally clear and visible.

Passing through the bamboo forest is really entering the mountain forest. The deeper you go, the thicker the emerald green on both sides, the dense trees gradually cover the sky, and the whole river channel becomes cold and dark.

Gu Feiyan looked around and thought, if this place comes in midsummer, it will be just right. It's cool and quiet, it's the perfect place to escape the summer heat!

However, both Jun Jiuchen and Baili Mingchuan were on alert. The keen intuition of martial arts practitioners told them that there were many murderous intentions lurking here, which was very dangerous. Without the shopkeeper's punting to guide the way, they probably wouldn't be able to enter here.

Jun Jiuchen couldn't help but wonder what kind of person this Dr. Gu was.

As the surrounding trees became more and more lush and the light became dimmer, the shopkeeper gradually slowed down the speed of the boat. Afterwards, the small wooden boat sailed into a pitch-dark darkness and stopped.

Baili Mingchuan immediately grabbed the shopkeeper's hand and asked coldly, "What's going on?"

Jun Jiuchen didn't make a sound, but immediately grabbed Gu Feiyan's arm to make sure she was by his side. Gu Feiyan's arms were stiff and she dared not move. Of course, although she was embarrassed, she had no time to worry about it, so she became vigilant.

The shopkeeper didn't answer Baili Mingchuan, but Baili Mingchuan said again, "Why didn't you leave?"

Then the shopkeeper said angrily, "Shut up. Since you believe the person who introduced you, you should also believe me! If you don't believe it, go down now!"

Only then did Baili Mingchuan shut up, and the surroundings fell into silence again, so quiet that even the chirping of insects and birds disappeared.

At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly patted the water surface lightly with his oars, "papapapa", and gradually there was a sense of rhythm, as if he was playing a piece of music.

This was clearly a secret signal, and Jun Jiuchen and Baili Mingchuan clearly sensed that the murderous aura lurking around them was gradually fading away.

After a while, the shopkeeper continued rowing forward again, and the speed picked up again.

After driving smoothly out of the darkness, after passing a forest, the river opened up. I saw another group of palaces on the bank not far away, built close to the mountains, ranging in size and height, well-proportioned, simple and mysterious. However, no one was seen, nor were there lights.

Gu Feiyan watched and felt a sense of desolation unconsciously in her heart. She asked, "Shopkeeper, is this the hermitage of the Gu family? Now... only Dr. Gu lives here?"

As the shopkeeper approached the boat, he replied, "That's right. You guys are going up later. Don't move around. Just follow me."

As soon as these words were finished, the melodious sound of the piano came from the palace...
