Chapter 98 The Poor Cannon Fodder Who is a Master of Medicine and Poison 39
"You are the Poison Master's subordinate! Then why do you fall into his trap like this?" Li Jinyuan suspected that this was another trap set by the Poison Master.
"I am here to deliver a letter. I am here to see you on the orders of Miss Gu Qian, and then to deliver a letter to a man named Luo Yunchen."
Luo Yunchen, who was standing aside, was shocked when he heard this, "What! Qianqian?"
He immediately walked forward, looked at An Qi and asked, "What letter? Give it to me quickly!"
An Qi was detained and could not take the letter, so he said, "It's in my sleeve."
Luo Yunchen was about to go forward to take the letter, but was stopped by Li Jinyuan. "If you are Du Lao's subordinate, why did you help Gu Qian deliver the letter?"
Li Jinyuan looked at An Qi suspiciously, with doubts about both An Qi and Gu Qian in his heart.
He suspected that the appearance of An Qi was a conspiracy of the Poison Master, and he also suspected whether Gu Qian had already defected under the torture of the Poison Master.
However, at this moment, An Qi suddenly began to cough violently, vomiting blood, and his body began to twitch involuntarily.
Li Jinyuan, Luo Yunchen and the soldiers who were holding An Qi hostage were all shocked by the scene before them.
"Ahem...Medicine, please, help me get the medicine..." An Qi's voice became weak and intermittent, as if he would die at any time.
"Where is the medicine?" Luo Yunchen asked anxiously.
"Clothes, inside the clothes..." An Qi almost fainted, with only a faint breath left.
Seeing this, Li Jinyuan quickly signaled with his eyes to the soldiers who had captured An Qi.
The soldier understood what he meant and quickly took out a bottle of medicine from An Qi's chest and poured out a pill for An Qi to take.
After taking the medicine, An Qi gradually recovered from vomiting blood, and his originally pale face slowly regained color. "Thank... Thank you."
"Why are you like this? And why did you help Gu Qian deliver the letter?" Li Jinyuan asked.
"That day, the poison master captured Miss Gu Qian, fed her poison, and threw her into the woodshed, intending to torture and threaten her, forcing her to help him develop poison."
"But for some reason, Miss Gu Qian ran out without alerting the guards. She took advantage of me being alone and poisoned me. I had a seizure right after being poisoned. I was in so much pain that I almost died."
"Miss Gu Qian told me that this is the poison she developed, and no one in the world can detoxify it except her. If you want to die, just report it. If you don't want to die, you have to help her deliver the letter, and then she will tell you the location of the poisoner and take you there."
"I don't want to die. I know what Miss Gu Qian said might be true. If I don't help her, I will really die. And I know that even if I report it to the poison master and gain merit, he will not help me detoxify."
After An Qi finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Jinyuan and Luo Yunchen, saying as he kowtowed: "Everything I said is true, my lord, please believe me. If you don't believe me, I will really die."
After saying that, he took out the note from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is really what Miss Gu Qian gave me personally. Please give it to Luo Yunchen."
Luo Yunchen reached out and took the note handed over by An Qi, opened it and saw the four words "Come to the nest quickly".
"It is indeed Qianqian's handwriting."
Luo Yunchen and Li Jinyuan looked at each other and saw his hesitation.
"Qianqian may have known that Lord Li might have doubts about this, so she told Anqi to give me the note. Let's put it this way, Lord Li, let's follow him first. If you don't believe him, I will take the lead then." Luo Yunchen said.
Luo Yunchen felt that the reason why Qianqian chose to give him the note was actually to tell him that even if he was the only one who came in the end, the two of them could still solve the problem.
It’s just that with the presence of government officials, it’s easier to handle the follow-up of the matter.
"I need to be responsible for the soldiers behind me." Li Jinyuan said with a sigh.
Li Jinyuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this. When we get there, I will send someone to investigate the situation. If it is confirmed to be the lair of the poisonous woman, I will send someone to borrow someone from the nearest government office."
"Thank you, Lord Li." Luo Yunchen breathed a sigh of relief. Like Qianqian, he actually didn't like getting involved in these troublesome matters. If Li Jinyuan went as well, they would save a lot of effort.
"Anqi, lead the way." Li Jinyuan said.
"Sir, could you give me some water and food? I have been running for four hours without eating or drinking. I am really out of strength." An Qi looked at Li Jinyuan cautiously, his eyes full of pleading.
"Give him some water and dry food." Li Jinyuan turned and instructed his men.
After An Qi took the water and food, he began to eat them voraciously.
Li Jinyuan frowned and looked at An Qi, wondering: This person did not look like he was being coerced, but rather seemed to be completing a task that had to be completed on time.
"Why are you in such a hurry to deliver the letter without eating or drinking?" Li Jinyuan asked, staring at An Qi.
"Sir, I don't want to do this either. But Miss Gu Qian said that this poison will definitely kill me within three days. I dare not take the risk. I can only run as fast as I can." An Qi answered vaguely while eating.
"I was lucky. I happened to meet you on the way. It only took me four hours. If I was unlucky, I might have died on the way."
After swallowing the food in his mouth quickly, An Qi continued, "Originally, I thought I would have to go to the government office to find you. It would take at least 12 hours to get there with you and the soldiers. So I ran as fast as I could to buy more time to get back."
Hearing this, Li Jinyuan nodded. If it was because of this, then it made sense.
He temporarily put aside his doubts about An Qi and continued to march north with his soldiers, which took him seven hours.
As for Gu Qian, after she returned to the woodshed, she entered the space and began to recuperate.
She hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past two days and was extremely sleepy. If she entered the space, she would have more time to rest.
"Tuanzi, I'm resting in space. Please help me keep an eye on the outside. If you find any problems, wake me up in advance and send me out."
"Okay, host. Just sleep well, I'll help you watch over it."
When Gu Qian woke up and went out, she found that it was only seven o'clock in the morning.
"Tuanzi, can you help me see how long it will take for Luo Yunchen and the others to come over?"
"Host, at their speed, it will take at least another 4 hours."
"There's still so much time left..." She couldn't act so quickly. She hoped that the poisonous woman wouldn't remember her for a while, otherwise she would have to act.
As usual, Gu Qian released his mental power to cover the entire yard.
The next three hours passed peacefully. Gu Qian saw that the time was almost up, so he prepared to take action.
She put on her invisibility cloak and walked out of the woodshed. Whenever she met someone on the way, she would give them a special smoke.
The whole yard was in a panic, and many people witnessed their brothers fainting for unknown reasons.
