Lord of Rot

Chapter 314 The Captured Prisoner
After finishing the work at hand, Li Qi walked towards his room, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw a figure with long red hair hovering at the door of his room.

"Good night, Miss Evangeline"

Li Qi took the initiative to greet him.

Seeing Li Qi come back, the other party breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry to bother you so late, I just have something..."

Her index finger gently hooked the corner of the dress, and the complexity of her mood could be guessed by the number of times her fingers stirred the dress.

"If there's anything I can do to help."

Li Qi nodded.

But now there is a small question, whether to continue chatting with Hong Qiangwei at the door, or invite her into the room.

"Can I go in and talk?" She asked softly.

"Of course, please come in."

Li Qi opened the door openly.

It's just that Hong Qiangwei, who followed him into the room, voluntarily closed the door, which made his frankness suddenly a little more sneaky and immoral.

Kind of exciting, but also kind of scary.

Li Qi pulled out a chair for Hong Qiangwei to sit down and said slowly, while he himself promised to give the other party a sense of security, stepped back a certain distance, and stood on the other side of the bed.

"It's about my father." Hong Qiangwei said, "Xiduo told me that the reason why you went to Iron Valley was because of that potion."

Li Qi replied immediately: "If you came here for that potion, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I haven't found that potion yet."

"No, of course I know how rare that kind of potion that only exists in legends is. It's normal to find it. I just hope you can find the potion sooner...no matter what kind of potion it is, He, he probably won't last long."

It turned out that she just wanted her father to live a happier life.

And very sensible.

The idea of ​​giving fake medicines also coincides with Li Qi, except for the Duke, this is the most reasonable way to deal with it.

He suspected that it was not Rose Red who proposed this idea, but the Duke's sons, such as Siddor and Pyne, desperate for power.

But no matter what, Li Qi refused.

If he gave the fake medicine, after the Duke died, wouldn't everyone know that Baron Li Qi cheated the Duke and used fake herbs to pretend to be the potion of longevity?
Its consequences and side effects are not even much lighter than those who betrayed their own lord.

Without honesty and loyalty, no one would be willing to serve a lord without loyalty.

Therefore, Li Qi resolutely refused to sacrifice his reputation.

"I promise my lord to find the potion for him. If I can't find it, I am willing to plead guilty outside Howling Castle, but I will definitely not deceive you."

Hong Qiangwei was a little anxious: "I'm not asking you to lie to him, it's just to make him happier in the end."

Li Qi shook his head and said, "You may not be happy if you die in a happiness lie made up by others."

Seeing that she really couldn't talk to him, Hong Qiangwei had no choice but to give up.

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside.

From far to near.

In the end, the other party stopped at the door of Li Qi's room.

Hong Qiangwei knew that if she continued to stay, there was a high possibility of misunderstandings.

She quickly stood up and straightened her skirt, smiled at Li Qi, and walked towards the door.

"knocking"

"Lord Li Qi, it's me." The voice was Agnes.

Hong Qiangwei turned her head to look at Li Qi with a strange expression, with a questioning look in her eyes.

At this time, his younger sister who already had a fiancé came to look for Li Qi, it was hard not to let people's imagination run wild.

But Hong Qiangwei completely forgot that she was the first one who came to look for Li Qi.

"Miss Agnes?" Li Qi didn't know why the other party came to him.

At the same time, he gave Hong Qiangwei a look.

It seems to mean that you are not going out?Why don't you leave?
How should I get out of this situation.

Red Rose simply stayed where she was, motionless.

"Yes!" A voice came from outside the door.

Li Qi opened the door and looked at Agnes who was standing outside the door: "What's the matter?"

"Steven was embarrassed to come here, so let me come." Agnes' expression was slightly ugly: "We have captured a prisoner."

"Captive?" Li Qi asked in surprise, "Who did you catch?"

Agnes said: "A nobleman with giant feet, he was going to attack us, but he was discovered and defeated by Steven, and that person was injured..."

East Gap and Giant's Foot are at peace.

Although it is impossible for a captured nobleman to trigger a war, it is indeed not good news.

Agnes continued: "After what happened, Steven said he was able to work it out. But it doesn't look like it's going to work out now... the guy's wounds keep getting worse. He's probably going to die, I just have to come and see You ask for help."

If this matter was really done by Steven, Li Qi felt very reasonable.

is his character.

The only thing Li Qi didn't quite believe was Steven's combat effectiveness.

However, there are soldiers and guards around Steven. If a few people besiege, hundreds of people are not difficult.

"Where is he?" A voice came from behind Li Qi.

"Ewen Jielin?" Agnes looked at the figure in surprise, not expecting that the figure would be in Li Qi's room.

"The carriage when we came." Agnes recovered and continued, "Because it's your birthday, Li Qi, we don't want to cause too much trouble and affect everyone's mood."

"I'm afraid that's already a nuisance."

Li Qi didn't expect that he would have to wipe other people's buttocks on his birthday.

He turned back to the room.

"Jingle Bell"

Ring the bell, and soon the servant trots over.

"Go and bring Vic over immediately and tell him that someone has been seriously injured," Li Qi ordered.

"Yes!"

This matter involves many aspects, but Li Qi and Hong Qiangwei have the same judgment, that is, it is best not to let other nobles who come here know about this matter.

The wounded southern prisoners were quickly sent to the cell of the security team.

After waiting for a while, Vic, the herb apprentice, finished treating the wounded prisoners.

"How's his condition?" Li Qi asked.

"The wound has badly rotted and festered," Vik said. "I have dug out the lesion for him. If the penicillin is useful, he may be able to save his life."

Li Qi glanced at the figure lying on the hospital bed.

"That depends on his luck."

"What about the injury? Was it cut by a sword?" He was very concerned about this, because as far as he knew, Steven's combat power was almost zero.

It is even more impossible to fight right away. Unless Steven is as open as himself, he will be hanged and beaten. At most, he will rely on the armor's good defense to bully and bully the farmer.

Vic replied, "No, it was a claw scratch, like some kind of big beast."

Li Qi secretly said: "I knew it."
