Chapter 4 Mountain Ginseng
When Qi Ze opened the door, he saw a smile on his face. He was holding two food boxes in his hands. He saw Qi Ze's face was red and there was a hint of haze in his eyes. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. I see that brother Qi is looking good. Then Wild ginseng is indeed useful, Lao Qi, I am happy for you too!" He said and squeezed in the door.
When Qi Ze saw him coming in uninvited, he became more cautious and said, "I would also like to thank Brother Qi for the wild ginseng, which has given me a breath of strength. I have been more energetic these days! Brother Qi is here..."
Qi Yun shook the food box and said with a smile: "That wild ginseng is nothing! I gave the set of orphan books you collected to Master Qi. He was very satisfied and rewarded me with a lot of money. He also praised me for how well I managed this errand." Beautiful, I came here to have a drink with you today to express my gratitude!"
Qi Ze said: "That orphan copy is nothing unusual. Master Qi can just like it, but it costs Brother Qi money!" Qi Yun smiled and said: "Where! Where!" He skillfully placed the food and wine, took out two wine glasses and filled them, and said with a smile: "How can a man be without wine? Let's have a drink!"
Qi Ze said: "My little brother is feeling unwell, so I won't drink anymore." Qi Yun said with a smile: "Wine can relieve qi and is also a good medicine. Come on, come on, you and I have a good drink!" Qi Ze couldn't resist him, so he had to drink it reluctantly. After half a cup, he stood up and said: "I just happened to have nothing to do recently, so I thought about a side dish and brought it to Brother Qi to taste it!"
Qi Yun did not doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, does he still have such skills? I want to try it!" Qi Ze went to play with the pot and stove, and soon brought a plate of vegetables. Qi Yun saw the dish It's bright green and lovely, steaming hot. After taking a bite and chewing it carefully, I couldn't help but praise: "Good! It's really delicious!"
Qi Ze said with a smile: "Brother Qi likes to eat, so eat more. In order to test this dish, I have eaten enough in the past few days. It's just annoying to see it!" Qi Yun sneered secretly: "This guy died in an instant. , and still have the mind to think about these fancy things, you really don’t know how to live or die!" Qi Cheng gave him three days to kill Qi Ze. Qi Yun thought that it would be too late to wait for Qi Ze to take the wild ginseng poison and die, so he had no choice but to do it himself Give him a ride.
The two of them drank together, and gradually the moon rose over the branches. It was already midnight, and it was dark outside. Qi Yun gradually felt that his tongue was thick, and his hands were a little unable to hold the chopsticks. However, he didn't take it seriously at all because he was so drunk. He suddenly laughed and said: "Qi Ze, Qi Ze, do you know how much effort I have put into doing this for you?"
Qi Ze laughed and asked: "Brother Qi, why did you say this?" Qi Yun drank the wine in one gulp and said with a smile: "Do you know how much silver that mountain ginseng is worth? Hehe, a full three hundred taels! That's all my hard work. It took me several years to save up my capital! I’m giving it to you like this, and you’re still not satisfied?”
Qi Ze was deliberately surprised and said: "That wild ginseng is actually worth three hundred taels? Although my lone copy is precious, it only costs a few taels of silver. Why does Brother Qi want to do this loss-making business?" Qi Yun said with a smile: "That counts. It's nothing, as long as I finish Master Qi's errands, not to mention three hundred taels, that's it, eh? I, I..." With a bang, he fell on the table and fell to sleep.
Qi Ze stood up slowly, with a cold glow in his eyes. He had known that Qi Yun's arrival was not good, so he specially added Ma Fei San to the dish, and Qi Yun was indeed tricked. Since the wild ginseng was worth three hundred taels, needless to say Master Qi's plan must be big.
I don't know how long it took, Qi Yun woke up faintly, but his mind was still groggy. He remembered what happened before he fell into coma, and was shocked. Only then did he realize that he was tied to the chair. Qi Yun struggled hard, but his whole body was limp and weak. , he couldn't break the rope at all. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he had a few hundred kilograms of strength in his hands, but now he couldn't tie the chicken, and he immediately panicked.
The lights flashed, Qi Ze's face was gloomy, he sat in front of him and said calmly: "Young Master Qi and you are willing to involve me in the mountain. What is the purpose of it? Please tell me clearly, Brother Qi!"
Qi Yun came here to take Qi Ze's life, but in the past few years, who in the town didn't know that he was a sick man with tuberculosis who could die at any time? Therefore, he didn't take any precautions. He even showed some kindness and invited Qi Ze to have a meal of beheaded wine. Who would have thought that the eighty-year-old mother would lose her child at the hands of Qi Ze!
Qi Yun was so frightened that he was mostly awake from the wine. He forced a smile and said: "Brother Qi, please don't make fun of me. Untie me quickly. It's me who gave the mountain ginseng to you, not Mr. Qi... Ah !Woo!”
Qi Ze unexpectedly picked up a short knife and stabbed Qi Yun's arm! With blood flowing across his face, Qi Yun screamed for a while, then Qi Ze blocked his mouth with a piece of rag, and could only moan.
Qi Ze sneered and said: "Brother Qi, you fell into my hands for fish and meat, why don't you act like a hero? If I ask anything, you just answer obediently and avoid the pain of your skin!" He stretched out his hand and pulled out the rag.
Qi Yun endured the severe pain and did not dare to scream. He looked at Qi Ze with a pair of doubtful eyes. Qi Ze sighed and said, "Don't look at me. I have become so cruel. Wasn't it because of you?" Qi Yun After he passed out, I found this short sword in his waist. I didn't know the man's intentions, so there was no need to talk about good deeds.
Qi Ze asked again: "You brought that wild ginseng to make me weak and eat it to death, so as not to cause fire and burn yourself, right?" Qi Yun was very afraid of Qi Ze, so he didn't hide anything, nodded and said: " Yes! It’s just that you’re not dead yet, so the wild ginseng has killed you, so please forgive me..."
Qi Ze stretched out his hand and pushed, and the short knife penetrated half an inch deeper. Qi Yun felt pain and swallowed back the words. Qi Ze secretly sighed: "Your plan has been completed, but it's a pity that you met me!" Again Question: "I have absolutely no grudge against Master Qi. Why did he have such evil intentions and harm my life?"
Qi Yun took a few breaths and said: "I don't know..." But when he saw Qi Ze's cold eyes, his heart skipped a beat and he cried: "I only know that he really wants that orphan copy! As for what use that orphan copy is, I I don’t know! After he succeeded, he asked me to kill you without you noticing, so as to avoid any complications."
Qi Ze was thoughtful and slowly recalled that the solitary copy had been in Qi's family for many years. It was just a miscellany of travel notes written by an unknown person. It was not an important book. Master Qi went to war over it. There must be a hidden secret in it, and Qi Yun was ordered to kill his predecessor as well. In order to silence him, the only way to get the details is to capture Master Qi and interrogate him.
Qi Ze asked again: "What is the cultivation level of the young master of the Qi family?" Qi Yun said: "I only know that Master Qi's brother left home when he was young. I heard that he joined a big sect and his cultivation level is very good. Qi The family is what it is today, thanks to a lot of it. Master Qi has been practicing martial arts for many years, but I don’t know whether he practiced with that uncle or not."
