The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

"What did you say? The pill is lost?"

A man was wearing a white robe with a jade belt around his waist and a jade gourd hanging from it.

Her hair was tied up with a peach wood hairpin, her face was extremely beautiful, and she had an air of immortal charm.

But those eyes seemed somewhat fierce, staring at the disciple Zhaocai who was bending down below like a knife.

Under the deadly gaze of his master, Zhaocai knelt down with a snap, and his fat body was shaking.

He replied with a guilty conscience: "Master, I just arrived in Kyoto and I am hungry. I want to find something to eat before sending the pills to the Medicine King Palace.

But I never thought it would be lost halfway."

He didn't dare say that he was drunk in the restaurant and had the pills taken away by someone.

If Qingfeng Yaojun knew that he was taken to drink by a stranger and lost the pill, he would probably have to stay in the Cliff of Regret for a year or two.

The Cliff of Repentance is not a place for human beings. Not only do you have to sincerely repent in front of the portrait of the ancestor every day, but you also have to eat vegetarian food every day.

How could he bear this for someone who loves meat?

Qingfeng looked at Zhaocai's stupid appearance with helplessness. He had never intended to accept this disciple in the first place.

If it weren't for the Shu Xiuduo given by Zhaocai's family, how could he have accepted this disciple who had neither talent nor diligence, and only knew how to be lazy and eat.

If he can't even do such a small thing as delivering pills, what's the use of him!

Not only did he waste the pills he had worked so hard for a month to refine, but if his master knew that the pills from the Poison Star Valley were lost, how could he let his master trust him to manage the Poison Star Valley?

That's right, when Luo Bucheng left, he repeatedly told Qingfeng to take good care of the disciples in the valley and not to delay the monthly delivery of medicine.

Qingfeng had made a promise in front of his master.

He stared at Zhaocai with great sorrow. Zhaocai seemed to sense Qingfeng's depressed mood, and hurriedly took out the jade pendant from his sleeve and raised it above his head with both hands.

He said respectfully, "Master, this is my gift to you. Your birthday is coming soon, and I prepared this birthday gift especially for you."

When Qingfeng saw the white jade pendant carved with bamboo and cypress, he felt as if his heart was being called by it.

I have completely forgotten that my birthday this year has passed for several months, and next year's birthday is even further away.

He took the jade pendant from Zhaocai's hand with his slender fingers, rubbed it lovingly, and roughly estimated its price in his mind.

Forget it, considering that Zhaocai is still filial, I can only forgive him this time.

He sighed and said, "Zhaocai, remember that you must not be so careless next time you do things."

When Zhaocai saw that his master had given in, he nodded his head quickly like a chick pecking at rice.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the voice of Qingfeng from above: "Zhaocai, get ready and follow me to Kyoto tomorrow."

Zhaocai agreed nervously. He was wondering why his master was willing to take him to Kyoto after he had made such a big mistake.

After Zhaocai went down, Qingfeng played with the jade pendant in one hand and thought deeply.

Who on earth is so bold as to steal the pills from Poison Star Valley?

In Dali, the Poison Star Valley is a very special existence.

No matter they were peddlers, nobles, or even members of the royal family, they all highly respected the Poison Star Valley.

When people in the valley go out, as long as their identities are known, they will be treated with courtesy by the wealthy and powerful.

Because no one can guarantee that he will never get sick, and no one dares to say that the people in his family cannot use the pills from the Poison Star Valley.

Including the current emperor, he also had the idea of ​​recruiting Luo Bucheng into the Imperial Hospital.

But even if Luo Bucheng refused, the emperor would not be angry.

Instead, he made a promise that if Valley Master Luo ever came to his senses and was willing to work for the royal family, the Poison Star Valley would be brought under royal protection and worshipped by the royal family, just like the Fahua Temple.

Therefore, Qingfeng was very puzzled by the fact that Zhaocai's pills were stolen.

He knew that his disciple was lazy and greedy, so before setting off, he had instructed Zhaocai to change into the unique clothing of the Poison Star Valley with the words "Poison Star Valley" embroidered on the chest.

Whenever he goes out, no matter who sees the Medicine King of the Poison Star Valley, he will not give him the slightest bit of face.

This person actually dared to steal even though he knew Zhaocai's identity. He is really brave. Isn't he afraid of becoming the enemy of the entire Poison Star Valley?

At the same time, this incident also made Qingfeng's heart alarm ring. He had to go to Kyoto to check it out in person, and he had to wear casual clothes to avoid alerting the enemy.

As for why Zhaocai was brought along, it was naturally because Zhaocai was needed to demonstrate the process of throwing the medicine again.

Otherwise, with so many smart and intelligent disciples under his command, any one of them would be more profitable and prestigious to take out?

Anyway, he had to go to Kyoto. Qingfeng also thought of the letter he had received from Marquis Xuanping a few days ago, asking him to treat his nephew's leg injury.

Well, I'll repay the favor I owe to Marquis Xuanping this time.

Moreover, I heard that the nephew of Marquis Xuanping was from a duke family, and they had plenty of money. If I could cure the leg disease, I could charge a little more for the consultation. Thinking in this way, it was not a loss.

However, this time it will take at least half a month, and at most a month to leave the valley.

The person who investigated the drug theft could not make it public, because if he reported it to the authorities, everyone in the world would know about it.

What if some fearless or critically ill family members follow suit and steal the medicine? Wouldn’t that be a loss?

After all, in the Poison Star Valley, apart from the valley master who only prescribes medicine to those who are destined to receive it, everyone else who seeks medicine has to pay a hefty medical fee.

Therefore, not everyone can use the medicine in Poison Star Valley.

Qingfeng waved his hand and asked the little medicine boy to find the second junior sister from the Poison Star Valley to discuss the matter of leaving the valley and to explain all the matters in the valley.

Qingfeng had no clue where the pill was, and Shen Baozhao, who was holding the pill, was also confused.

"Miss, these pills are indeed from a disciple named Zhaocai in the Poison Star Valley."

Li Dashan stood respectfully on the side. He didn't understand why Shen Baozhao asked him to confirm the source of the pill again.

A few days ago, he received a task from Shen Baozhao, which was to wait for a Medicine Lord wearing the clothes of the Poison Star Valley at the gate of Kyoto.

The most important thing is to intercept the pills sent from the Poison Star Valley to the capital from the Medicine King before he arrives at the Medicine King Palace.

In order to ensure the success of the plan, Shen Baozhao also gave him some extremely concealed and fast-acting knockout drugs.

Unfortunately, none of them were used. The little medicine man named Zhaocai lost his way after drinking three cups of yellow soup.

This mission went surprisingly smoothly, but I don’t know what Shen Baozhao wants these pills for?

As far as he knew, there were plenty of pills in the pharmacy of Zhaoming Garden. He had even helped Shen Baozhao deliver pills to Princess Yu several times.

Shen Baozhao did not continue asking, but asked Li Dashan to continue sending people to keep an eye on the Medicine King Palace to see if anyone from the Poison Star Valley showed up.

Shen Baozhao held the pill, put it to his nose and smelled it, then threw it aside.

He opened another box called "Exorcism Pill", took out a pill, broke it open and tasted it.

It's no wonder that she wanted to confirm with Li Dashan again. The pills sent were not as good as the ones given by the senior brother before.

As for why she took the pills away?

Naturally, he was afraid that once the real fortune-bringing creature went to the Medicine King Temple, his fake fortune-bringing creature would be exposed!
