Chapter 55 Died on duty
Jiang Li asked, "Sir, have you been promoted again?"
Xie Changan smiled slightly: "Yes, thanks to you, I am now a fourth-rank commander."
"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir!"
Jiang Li smiled with curved eyebrows, "What about me? Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard, how will you reward me, sir?"
"Your contribution can only be converted into silver, which will be deposited into Tongbao Bank for you later."
He paused, "I'll give you my share of the reward as well."
His voice was a little hoarse after drinking, and there was an indescribable charm in it.
Jiang Li blushed again: "How can I ask for the adults' share?"
I only heard him whisper, "I'll keep the rest for you."
Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat: "Keep it for me? Why?"
Xie Changan stared at her, and the seed in his heart that was ready to move finally broke through the soil, sprouted green buds, and grew branches and leaves.
There is actually a little green in the barren heart.
The atmosphere between the two was extremely ambiguous. Jiang Li's face flushed. Just as she was about to flee, she heard Yin Jiu hurriedly report: "Boss, there is urgent news from the capital!"
"What's the matter?"
Yin Jiu was filled with grief and indignation: "The team of brothers we sent to southern Xinjiang all died in the line of duty..."
"What?" Xie Changan stood up suddenly.
Jiang Li was also shocked. Weren't the people sent to Southern Xinjiang to track down "Madame Gong"? They were all dead!
"Go back to Beijing!"
Xie Changan immediately went down the mountain to meet Liao Wuyong.
That night, he hurried back to the capital with Yin Ziwei and Shen Muchun.
East Factory Yamen.
More than a dozen corpses were placed in the backyard, and everyone in the East Factory had a look of grief on their faces.
Shen Muchun went forward to examine them one by one and said, "They all died from the poison."
Xie Changan's face was gloomy, and he asked again: "Did they leave any message?"
This team of people are all the elites of the East Factory. Even if they are completely wiped out, they will find a way to pass the news out.
Xu Dangtou: "The brothers risked their lives to send back a portrait."
Xie Changan took the portrait and opened it. It depicted a woman in her thirties with a pale complexion, charming features and a teardrop mole under her left eye.
The portrait that they were so desperate to send back was most likely the woman disguised as "Madame Gong".
"Brother Shen, have you ever seen this woman when you were traveling around the world?"
Shen Muchun came over to take a look and shook his head: "Never seen it before."
"The Miao Gu in southern Xinjiang have always been mysterious and unpredictable. They rarely move around in the Central Plains, and few people have seen them. I only heard that the Gu King has four great saint envoys under him, and each of them is an expert in using poison." Shen Muchun said.
"This woman must be related to the escaped Madam Gong and the Miao Gu of Southern Xinjiang. Pass the order to send this portrait to all prefectures and cities and do everything possible to capture this woman!"
"Yes!"
Xie Changan ordered Xu Dangtou to be in charge of the compensation, and then took Shen Muchun and Jiang Li back to the house.
Seeing the veins on Xie Changan's forehead bulging, Jiang Li comforted him, "Sir, don't be sad. We will attack Miaojiang in the future and avenge our brothers."
Shen Muchun was amused: "Sister, you are too fanciful. Miaojiang is a land of high mountains and dense forests, with dangerous terrain and poisonous insects and miasma everywhere. If it were easy to invade, the small country of Nanyi would have ceased to exist long ago!"
Xie Changan glanced at Jiang Li: Do you have any idea?
Jiang Li nodded: That will have to wait until I can leave the palace.
Xie Changan thought of her incredible abilities and wondered, which was more powerful, the Southern Xinjiang witchcraft or her ability to command the beasts?
Seeing the two of them arguing, Shen Muchun couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Is there anything you can't tell me? If you have any ideas, tell me so I can discuss them."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Brother Shen, it's not that I can't tell you, it's just that the time is not right yet, and it's useless to tell you. By the way, I haven't thanked Brother Shen for finding the medicine yet."
She bowed deeply to Shen Muchun solemnly.
Shen Muchun was shocked: "That medicinal bath recipe is actually for you?"
He looked Jiang Li up and down, his eyes shining: "Is this... completed? Come here, let me see it!"
Jiang Li was startled and quickly hid behind Xie Changan, sticking her head out and asking, "What do you want to do?"
Xie Changan said helplessly: "Brother Shen, you scared her."
Shen Muchun looked at the two of them with an ambiguous smile on his face: "So you are the one that Brother Changan loves, you are indeed extraordinary! My junior sister deserves to lose."
Jiang Li blushed, her reputation as a "lover" was known to everyone, she could never wash it off even if she jumped into the Yellow River!
Xie Changan couldn't help but smile: "Her skills are unique, so this medicinal bath is not painful. Brother Shen also knows that the skills of each sect are the secrets of the sect. I hope Brother Shen can understand this."
Shen Muchun nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand! Sister, I don't want to take a peek at your skills, can you show me your pulse?"
He really wanted to know what kind of changes would occur in a person's body after using this body-refining recipe?
Jiang Li asked cautiously: "Just checking the pulse?"
Shen Muchun nodded: "What else can I do to you in front of Brother Changan?"
Jiang Li blinked: "If you promise to give me a dancing grass, I will check your pulse."
"What do you want the dancing grass for?" Shen Muchun frowned slightly, "If you accidentally mix it with something tonic, it will become highly poisonous."
"I just want to see how it dances."
Jiang Li tugged at Xie Changan's sleeve, "Sir, I promise to be careful and not let it come into contact with any tonic."
Xie Changan knew that she just wanted to play with it, and when she acted coquettishly, his heart softened, and he said gently: "Wu Cao is too dangerous, how about we not raise it? How about letting Brother Shen show it to you?"
"Ok."
Jiang Li nodded obediently. As long as she could play for a while, she was too impatient to raise the pet.
Shen Muchun smiled secretly, the little girl was really adorable, no wonder she could win over the icy Xie Shaxing.
So, Jiang Li stretched out her wrist, and Shen Muchun placed two fingers on it, taking her pulse carefully, and was amazed.
Compared with that of an ordinary person, this pulse is full of qi and blood, calm and powerful. The amazing thing is that there is a true energy flowing continuously in the eight extraordinary meridians!
Is this girl practicing the Great Circulation all the time?
He was shocked and asked, "Why is the Qi in your body always flowing through your meridians?"
Xie Changan was also surprised. It turned out that after mastering the first level of "The Divine Movement Body Refining Technique", there would be true Qi flowing in the meridians?
Doesn’t this mean that the Great Circulation is constantly running inside the body?
Jiang Li tilted his head and thought for a while: "Maybe he is tempering his skin and flesh."
Xie Changan suddenly realized, that's how it is!
After she mastered the first level of the technique, her vital energy began to flow beneath her skin. No wonder ordinary swords and knives could not hurt her.
Jiang Li took a dagger and showed Shen Muchun her "invulnerable" skin.
"Golden Bell Cover? Iron Cloth Shirt?" Shen Muchun was shocked, then shook his head, "No, this is more magical than the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt."
He was eager to try: "If you are invulnerable to swords and guns, then how about using poison?"
"Brother Shen!" Xie Changan looked at him with murderous eyes.
Shen Muchun sighed regretfully, feeling a little sorry that this was Xie Shaxing's beloved and he couldn't use her to test the medicine.
