Chapter 173 Introducing poison to the upper body (2)
"Okay, prepare a pen and paper for me, tell me, and I'll draw." Ji Cheng said, she had no other choice.

Nan Gui looked at Ji Cheng suspiciously, a little bit disbelieving in her ability, can she draw it after listening to her dictate?
Facts have proved that Nan Gui really underestimated Ji Cheng. At any rate, she studied painting with Mrs. Yu for more than a year, and then returned to northern Shanxi. Because the life of guarding the tomb was clean and lonely, she devoted more and more attention to painting. I understand.

However, it is still Ji Cheng's first time to draw characters according to dictation.Fortunately, Nan Gui had an amazing memory. Although he had only met Ma Yuantong once, he could remember his features clearly.

After revising and revising, Nan Gui finally nodded after laying a whole floor of paper on the ground. The last portrait was Jiuxiang Ma Yuantong himself.Moreover, Ji Cheng painted Ma Yuantong so vividly that it was by no means comparable to the portraits of wanted criminals hanging at the gate of the city. As long as you have seen this portrait and then met Ma Yuantong himself, you will definitely be able to recognize him.

Ji Cheng stayed up all night and drew more than [-] such portraits in a row. When he stood up, his eyes darkened and he fell back straight. Nan Gui threw the scroll in his hand and quickly caught her in a panic.

Ji Cheng is too weak, shed so much blood, and didn't take a good rest to make up for it, so how can he not faint if he rushes to paint all night?If she hadn't been in good health, she might have collapsed long ago. Although the toxin had been removed, she had hurt her body after all.

Ji Cheng didn't faint for too long, she was thinking about things in her heart, even if she forced herself to open her eyes, she wanted to get out of bed anxiously, but Nan Gui pressed her down on the bed and forced her to drink a bowl of minced meat before giving up.

"Let me get up, my own body knows it. Now is not the time to care about these things. The genius doctor Ma must be found as soon as possible. We can't delay the time. If Huode and the others find Mr. Lang, then everything will be over." Ji Cheng supported got up and said.

Nan Gui hurriedly comforted him, "Young master won't let them find it so easily. Now that I have this portrait, I'll distribute it, and our people will be able to find it faster."

Ji Cheng shook his head: "You don't need to coax me, you have already said that you are not enough manpower." Most of Jing Shijun's spies are Daqin people, and they can be overwhelmed by the crowd in the Central Plains, but they are very abrupt when they come to the grasslands here. , the movement is very inconvenient and greatly restricted.

"But..." Nan Guixin said: You are also powerless.But she dared not say those words to Ji Cheng.

"It's nothing to worry about, just wait for me to get dressed." Ji Cheng cheered up, "Ask someone to prepare the horse."

Nan Gui said anxiously: "How can you ride a horse with your current body?"

Ji Cheng didn't speak to Nan Gui again, but just gave her a cool look.Nan Gui knew her mistake immediately. Although she was right to care about Ji Cheng, but Ji Cheng was her master, and if the master ordered him to go on, a servant shouldn't refute repeatedly.If this matter was put in front of Shen Che, Nan Gui would never dare to say "two".

Within five days, Nan Gui and Ji Cheng rode all the way to three big cities, Anjia, Pugu and Suiye. They hardly rested for five days and five nights, and they changed a dozen or so horses.

"Young Mistress, Broken Leaf City is here." Nan Gui gently called Ji Cheng, and Ji Cheng, who was crouching on the horse's back, raised his head after a while.

"it is good."

A person's potential is limitless, Nan Gui couldn't stand it after these few days of tossing, she really didn't know how the pampered and pampered Ji Cheng persisted.If Nan Gui's respect for Ji Cheng in the past was a continuation of her respect for Shen Che, then now, her respect for Ji Cheng is only because of Ji Cheng himself.

Sitting in the room opposite the Sanbao, Ji Cheng raised his hand and patted his face vigorously, trying to make his bloodless face look rosier. This was the last family she was going to visit.

A person like Ji Cheng knew that his father would take back the power in his hands, so how could he not make arrangements in advance?Although Zheli had cleaned up some of the people she had cooperated with in the northwestern Turkic territory to leave a way for the Ji family, they didn't make a big effort.

This is also thanks to Shen Che, although he grasped the line, he didn't move it, which can be regarded as a leeway for Ji Cheng, and this leeway finally came in handy today.

At this time, Ji Cheng had already washed and washed, and her face was a little rosier. Looking at her appearance, there was no anxiety about running around for five days and five nights.

After Ji Chengliang revealed his identity, the shopkeeper still pushed back, saying that the boss was not there.Ji Cheng glanced at Nan Gui, who immediately took out a 10 tael bank note from his pocket and slapped it in front of the shopkeeper.

Ji Cheng looked at the shopkeeper with a smile and said, "Ask your boss, can you do business with 10 taels?"

Shage is a Han, but his wife married a Turkic. Today's food, clothing, housing and transportation are half Central Plains and half Turkic, which seems a bit nondescript, but it cannot be denied that he is the largest household in Suiye City.

"What kind of wind brought Miss Ji here?" The owner of Sanbao, Sha Ge, appeared in front of Ji Cheng in a short while, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his face, as if he didn't know that his shopkeeper had said that he was not here. in town.

"The spring breeze blows." Ji Cheng smiled like a spring breeze.

"I heard that the girl is already married, so it's time to address her as Young Mistress, why did she come to such a place like ours?" Sha Ge asked.

"Isn't this sending you money?" Ji Cheng said, she didn't talk nonsense, she asked Nan Gui to unfold the portrait, and then said to Sha Ge, "I want to find this person, as long as I tell him his whereabouts, the 10 I'll give you two silver coins."

The 10 taels of silver was really hot, Sha Ge didn't dare to take it, he stroked his goatee and said, "Just to find someone, the girl gave you so much money, I don't dare to take it."

"Dare you. You were originally Zheli and I, why didn't you dare to reach out now?" Ji Cheng laughed.

Sha Ge's face was a bit embarrassed: "Where did you start the girl's words? I'm from Daqin, how can I cooperate with Zheli?"

Ji Cheng still can't understand Sha Ge's businessman nature: "Brother Sha Ge, to tell you the truth, I have encountered some troubles now, and I must find this person. If Brother Sha Ge can help me this time, Ji Cheng will always remember him." Xin, this 10 taels of silver is a trivial matter, if Big Brother Shage is sent in the future, just say a word, and I will go through fire and water."

"How dare, how dare." Sha Ge did not let go.

Ji Cheng didn't expect Sha Ge to let go so soon: "This is a trivial matter, and I won't make things difficult for Brother Sha Ge. If you find this person, you can sell the news to Zhe Li."

Sha Ge now has no idea what kind of medicine is sold in Ji Cheng's pot.

And Ji Cheng already knew from Sha Ge's startled expression that Sha Ge and Zheli might have a deep relationship.She is the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and the Shen family is at odds with Zheli because of the North Army. This is why Sha Ge has not let go. He is obviously more inclined to Zheli.

"I don't understand what the girl said." Sha Ge said.

"I just need you to tell Zheli two days later." Ji Cheng smiled, "What do you think, brother Sha Ge?" Ji Cheng pushed the bank note forward.

Money touches people's hearts, Sha Ge may not be able to earn 10 taels of silver after ten years of earning money.

"Okay, since the girl has already talked about this, it would be too unrighteous for me, Mr. Sha, to evade." Sha Ge looked greedily at the silver ticket and said.

Ji Cheng turned his head to look at Nan Gui, and Nan Gui took out another 2 taels of bank note from his bosom. Ji Cheng took it and handed it to Sha Ge: "This is the deposit. If we can find out his whereabouts, the rest The 8 taels of silver were offered on time. If you can’t find it, the 2 taels of silver will be regarded as hard work for the elder brother.

Ji Cheng is too generous and straightforward, always thinking of others, who can not be happy to cooperate with such a "fool"?
"It's just..." There is always a turning point after a good thing.

"Just what?" Sha Ge knew that the money was not easy to get.

"It's just that this matter happened quickly. If there is no news within ten days, our agreement will be void." Ji Cheng stood up and smiled at Sha Ge, "Brother Sha Ge, you have to be far-sighted. The Shen family is defeated, but as long as Da Qin is still there, Princess Anhe is still there, and the second master of the Shen family is still in the Western Regions, the Shen family will not collapse. Believe me, becoming an enemy of the Shen family will not do you any good. And if the Northern Army wins, you should know how powerful it is."

This can be regarded as a gift before a soldier.

When he returned to the inn from the Sanbao, Ji Cheng couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.Her lips were covered with dry skin, her eyes were so thin that they were sunken, and she couldn't care less about applying sunscreen ointment, so even the exposed skin was quite tanned.

Nan Gui moistened Ji Cheng's lips with water, covered her with a quilt gently, and didn't dare to disturb her, so he went outside to light a fire to cook porridge.It is not easy to find a little rice to make porridge in Saishang, because the locals don't eat it at all.

The first thing Ji Cheng did when he woke up was to ask, "Is there any news from Sha Ge?"

Nan Gui shook his head and said, "How could it be so fast? The young mistress didn't sleep for long, it was only an hour. Don't worry, in just these five days, you have thrown away 70 million taels of silver. Money can make ghosts Grinding, there must be some effect, right?"

Ji Cheng sat up with Nan Gui's support, and drank some rice porridge.

In fact, Nan Gui had already accumulated too many questions in his heart, but he didn't find a chance to ask Ji Cheng along the way, because her spirit was really not good, and she always tried her best when meeting guests.

"I've always been curious, why did the young mistress carry so many silver bills when she went out? The war is in chaos, and if it is lost, it will cost several 10 taels of silver." Nan Gui asked.

Ji Cheng is a businessman, and he never forgets to look for business opportunities wherever he goes.She brought these banknotes with her original intention that if she found something that could be bought and sold on the grassland, the silver could be used to prepare her own business.

War always makes people feel sad and displaced people, but there are also many people who made a lot of money in wars. Ji Cheng seems to be the kind of person who looks for opportunities, so she is not afraid of risks, but likes to take risks. What about Shen Che?

After Nan Gui heard Ji Cheng's plan, he could only admire him in his heart.This young mistress really never misses any opportunity, so it's no wonder that the Ji family has developed in just a few years in her hands.

"It's just that young mistress is too generous this time, a piece of news is worth 10 taels of silver, which is really a bargain," Nan Gui said.

"It's right if you think it's a good deal. If you think this way, they will think the same way, and things will be done faster. What we can't afford now is time. We can earn money by spreading money. If people are gone, there will be nothing. "Ji Cheng said, so she was not stingy with money.

"But why did the young mistress tell them to pass the news to Zheli?" This is what Nan Gui couldn't understand the most.

Ji Cheng said: "This is to make them nod. Zheli is a local snake, and a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. These people may not buy our account. Although I have cooperated with them, it is mutually beneficial and there is no risk. Now it is It is a matter of standing in line, so they will not easily agree to this matter."

Nan Gui nodded, so she can understand.

"Besides, if we already know the whereabouts of Miracle Doctor Ma, and Jing Shijun lets Zheli's people get ahead, you people will be too disappointing." Ji Cheng said.

Nan Gui knew more about Jing Shijun's abilities than Ji Cheng: "No way."

Ji Cheng smiled lightly: "Well, there is another advantage to doing this. Our manpower is limited, and Huo De and Zheli must also have limited manpower. The big battle is coming, and he has to guard against the Northern Army on the one hand, and on the other hand Search everywhere for the whereabouts of Mr. Ma, and now we are looking for Miracle Doctor Ma with great fanfare, they must know our plan, so they will definitely send people to search for Miracle Doctor Ma, that way, the pressure on Mr. Ma may be much less."

Now Nan Gui admires Ji Cheng's heart and mind, and a single sentence can lead to so many things. It's no wonder that she and her master became husband and wife.What a match.

"Then can we spread the news everywhere, saying where we found the genius doctor Ma, so that we can better disperse Zheli's staff?" Nan Gui said by analogy.

Ji Cheng shook his head: "This will not only confuse Zheli, but also confuse those people we go to for help. The most important thing we need now is to find Doctor Ma."

Just after talking, Ji Cheng felt a little dizzy again. She leaned against the pillar after eating the porridge, and finally asked, "Is there any news about your son?" She was afraid of hearing some bad news.

Nan Gui shook his head.

No news is the best news.Ji Cheng closed his eyes and lay back on the bed again, his body was extremely exhausted, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Shen Che's back always appeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't see his front, but felt that the back was so lonely that it made her eyes sour.

He said that he faced the risk side by side, and he was the only one who took on everything in the end.There were twice as many guards around Ji Cheng, if Huo De came again this time, he wouldn't be able to get much favors.

Ji Cheng fell into a drowsy sleep, dreaming of a hill, the setting sun was so cold that it hung in the sky, and there was a man lying on the hill with a sword stuck in his chest, and he didn't know he died. After a while, vultures swooped down from the sky and pecked at the corpse.

Ji Cheng was anxious and frightened in his dream, tears streaming down his face, but he couldn't make a sound, nor could he move his legs.

"Young Mistress, Young Mistress." Nan Gui shook Ji Cheng, saw that her body was shaking non-stop, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her expression was extremely painful, so she quickly shook her awake.

Ji Cheng was finally freed from that nightmare, she almost saw who the bloody man was, everything was so familiar.

Ji Cheng drank two glasses of water to stabilize his mind, but he didn't dare to sleep anymore.Holding the teacup in her hand, she hardly dared to think about what would happen if Shen Che wasn't around.

There shouldn't be such a feeling that the sky is falling, Ji Cheng has never relied on human nature, but for some reason, she can't let go of Shen Che alone, she just feels that everything is cast in gray and looks lifeless.

Is this the so-called marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog?Even if she hated Shen Che so much at the beginning, now she can't help worrying and feeling sorry for him?Ji Cheng couldn't tell what it was like, he didn't want to admit that he was tempted, as if he had lost, and he was sorry for his past self.

But in this world, if emotions can be controlled, there won't be so many beautiful and sad legends.

Ji Cheng couldn't help thinking of Ling Ziyun again, and she didn't know how he was doing now, she just felt sorry for him.When she was forced to marry Shen Che back then, Ji Cheng's heart was at least on Ling Ziyun, but now she can't even control herself, and the guilt towards brother Ziyun who grew up with her is even greater.

Being abandoned again and again and insisting on waiting again and again made Ji Cheng feel unbearable pain.

The nightmare came and went again and again, and he couldn't sleep for many hours. Finally, five days later, good news came, and the snowflakes that Ji Cheng had sprinkled had paid off.

Nan Gui's hands trembled a little while holding the letter: "I'll arrange for someone to go to Doctor Ma right away."

Ji Cheng shook his head: "Don't worry, if I'm right, there will be news coming back in the next two days."

A few days ago, Ji Cheng was the one who was most anxious. He rushed for several days and nights, throwing money non-stop. Now that he received the news, he seemed to be sitting on the Diaoyutai, and Nan Gui was puzzled again.

Ji Cheng said: "We don't know whether the news is true or not, and we don't have enough manpower. We can't go to one place as soon as we receive the news, otherwise it will be too late."

Sure enough, as Ji Cheng expected, news came from all over the next two days, but Miracle Doctor Ma appeared in nearly twenty places at the same time.

"What do you think, Young Mistress?" Nan Gui put all the letters in front of Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng was silent, just rubbed his chin and quietly looked at the letters.

"Young Mistress, there are three news sources saying that Doctor Ma is in Zhangye. Do you think we can send people there first?" Nan Gui asked.

"How many teams do you have available?" Ji Cheng asked Nan Gui.

Nan Gui lowered his head and said, "Zheli's side has been making frequent moves recently. We have sent out all the manpower we have, and now we only have one team."

Ji Cheng said, "Send everyone around me out."
