Chapter 169
Qin Xiao pushed open the string window, like a light smoke slid along the rope into the icy river, without a sound, only a slight ripple, and the person disappeared.
Jin Xi closed her eyes and read a few words silently, begging the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless Qin Xiao with all the best.The moment she closed the window, she raised her eyes to see the huge half-sunken and half-floating boat in the river, like a hill rising suddenly from the river, or like a monster emerging from the water through the night, choosing an opportunity to devour people.
The heartstrings were pulled to a high place suddenly, as if the bitter river wind was pouring into her cavity, she couldn't breathe because of the excitement.Layers of remorse flooded up, and Jin Xi held back his fingers tightly, only then could he resist the urge to call Qin Xiao back.Why is she so naive?Actually agreeing to Qin Xiao's plan, he is gambling with his life!
If you lose, you will stop everything, and if you win, you will be walking a tightrope on a cliff.She should have stopped him just now and discussed slowly, there must be a better way to get this ship of pig iron ingots, instead of taking the risk and using the water ghosts of the Cao Gang to sneak into the ice water and smuggle the iron ingots under the noses of the guards of the Third Prince's Mansion.
Not to mention chasing after the official boat she was on, five days on the water and ten days on land, he is not made of iron, and he travels day and night without eating or drinking, is his body able to bear it?
Jin Xi was very annoyed, at one moment she hated herself for not stopping Qin Xiao, and at the other moment she hated him for putting all his eggs in one basket and not thinking about the consequences at all.He was so upset that he didn't even hear Qi Guozheng knocking on the door several times outside with a medicine bowl.
Jin Xi was alone in Qin Xiao's room for a few hours, Qing Xing was also a little anxious, and asked loudly through the door: "Miss, are you awake? What do you want for dinner?"
"No need! Just woke up and fell asleep again, please keep your voice down and don't disturb Qin Shizi!" Jin Xi hurriedly closed the window, stuffed two pillows under the quilt and covered it, put down the curtain and took a few glances. It was as if someone was lying inside, and only then opened the hatch door a little, and then quickly closed the hatch door when he came out, feeling guilty out of thin air.
Qing Xing was carrying the food box, and said hesitantly, "Don't you even drink porridge?"
Jin Xi secretly sighed, she really can't lie, a small lie needs to be covered up by countless lies, and finally it becomes a big lie.But the words were out of her mouth, she could only straighten her head and continue to lie, "I told him, if you wake up and want to eat, you can knock on the board wall, and I will call you when I hear it. I don't have any appetite now, you put the food first Let it warm in the kitchen."
Qing Xing knew the secret signal that Qin Xiao made a few days ago, so she didn't doubt it at all when Jin Xi said that, she nodded in response, and left with the food box.
Qi Guozheng also followed behind Qing Xing, holding a cold medicine bowl, and stepped back tactfully.Jin Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized that the effort required to say these two sentences was more than that used when blocking Anyang at the Anyang porridge shop.
Although the situation was critical at that time, she was very certain for no reason, firmly believing that Qin Xiao would definitely appear at the last moment.But this time, everything has just begun.
Jin Xi dragged himself back to his own cabin, and lay down on the bed with his clothes on. His fingers lightly brushed the side wall of the bed. Knowing that there would be no response, he still couldn't help knocking three times.
After waiting for a long time, she didn't get an echo, so she knocked again as if unwilling to give up, but there was no sound as expected.
The cabin was empty and silent, and the river wind outside the window whizzed by, causing her a headache. Jin Xi pulled the quilt over her head, fearing that she would not be able to control her crying for a while.However, he immediately lifted the quilt and sat up.
When Qin Xiao just got on the boat, he asked her to memorize this code jokingly. At that moment, he had the intention of stealing the boat?
There are also the two reserved rooms on the ship, where Qi Guozheng and Qi Tian happen to be living now, could it be that he had calculated them in advance?
At that time, he probably didn't know about the shipwreck, so what was the purpose of preparing these in advance?
Thanks to her worrying about this cunning bastard, she was afraid that something would happen to him.Everyone in the world is dead, and this bastard will not die either!
Jin Xi's sudden cognition was perfectly verified at noon the next day.
"Why is the broken medicine so bitter? Do you want to drink it to death?"
Jin Xi took the medicine bowl that Qi Guozheng handed over, and drank it in one gulp, holding his breath, just took a sip of water to rinse out the bitter taste in his mouth, when he saw Qi Guozheng took the medicine bowl and threw it on the ground violently, then opened his mouth yell.
The tone of the voice and even the accent were exactly the same as Qin Xiao's.Jin Xi petrified on the spot, her first reaction was to go to the bed and lift the quilt to see if Qin Xiao was hiding on the bed.Looking at the two pillows she put under the quilt yesterday, they were still there, and the voice behind her has become Qi Guozheng, persuading her earnestly, "My son, calm down, good medicine is good for you..."
Before the word 'disease' was opened, 'Qin Xiao' had already cursed, "Don't use such words to coax the young master, a quack doctor is a quack doctor. Tell me, when will my illness be cured? When can I go out?"
Qi Guozheng sighed, "I have little knowledge, I can only try my best to ensure that the son arrives in the capital safely. Before that... there is really no way to let the son get out of bed and walk."
Qi Guozheng was talking to himself, and one person uttered two completely different voices at the same time, completely making Jinxi look stupid.Rubbing his eyes, he felt like he was in a trance in a dream.She knew that there was an oral ability to imitate other people's voices, but she had never heard that a person could make two voices at the same time. What happened when she was arguing with herself?
"Please, Princess, say something nice for this old man!" Jin Xi looked up blankly and saw Qi Guozheng looking at her with a smile on his face, and slightly raised his chin, with an expression of inviting you into the play.
"Illnesses come and go like a mountain, and sicknesses go like silk, my son, please bear with it." Jin Xi had no choice but to reply perfunctorily, with a dry voice like a tree branch that has lost water, which made people feel uncomfortable. It's not as natural as Qi Guozheng imitating Qin Xiao's voice.
"Are you also speaking for this charlatan?" 'Qin Xiao' was obviously furious.
Qi Guozheng argued innocently: "The old man lived in Danling and practiced medicine for generations. He is definitely not a liar. Please also trust the old man."
"Yes, don't be too anxious. Although the illness is difficult, there is always a way to return to the capital." Under Qi Guozheng's eyes, Jin Xi had to cooperate.
For a while, the three people in the cabin quarreled, and no one could convince the other.In the end, 'Qin Xiao' became furious and struggled to get out of bed and dropped several pieces of porcelain. As a result, he was so angry and bloody that he fainted and ended.
Jin Xi came out in a daze, saw Zhou Qingniu with a worried face, and then looked at Mama Ai with red eye circles and an expression worse than crying. For a moment, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
It can make everyone worry, which means that she and Qi Guozheng cooperated well, and they deceived everyone without rehearsing the first cooperation.But if you cheat the first day of junior high school, can you still cheat the fifteenth day?
It would take half a month at the fastest to go from Danling to the capital, but she didn't dare to let the boat go too fast.If you walk slowly, you may be exposed to the deception, if you walk too fast, you may not be able to catch Qin Xiao back.
Jin Xi was torn between right and left, and her hair fell out of worry.Fortunately, Qi Guo is just a talent, and he can perform the tricks seamlessly without Jinxi's cooperation.
Hearing that several pieces of porcelain were smashed in the cabin next door, Jin Xi's face couldn't help turning black.Ask Qingxing to invite Qi Guozheng, who was scolded by 'Qin Xiao' again, to her own cabin, "Sir is a doctor, it's best to prescribe some palliative medicine to appease Qin Shizi's temper. If you are too angry, you will hurt yourself if you continue like this." Go on, I'm afraid Qin Shizi will die of anger if he doesn't come to the capital."
"What the princess said is that this old man will try his best!" Qi Guo responded solemnly without changing his expression or heartbeat.
Jin Xi gritted his teeth angrily, but there was nothing he could do, 'Qin Xiao' smashed porcelain every day, and the furnishings in his cabin changed several batches.Zhou Qingniu had to buy a new batch every time he docked.However, Zhou Qingniu still remembered the first time he dealt with Qin Xiao in the prefect's inner house, Qin Xiao's eyes were high above his head, and every time he bought back were high-quality porcelain and real antiques.
And this guy doesn't know how to do it, so he spends a lot of money every time.In just a few days, Jinxi's purse has been deflated by a large amount, and the 3000 taels of silver that Zhou Bohai gave her before leaving is almost gone.She can't stop Zhou Qingniu and tell him that there are no ghosts in the house, just buy some junk and listen to it.
If this continues, she doesn't know how many days it will last.
It's just a cover-up, is it worth spending so much money?Thinking of the white money turning into pieces of porcelain and being thrown into the river, Jin Xi's heart aches so much that she bleeds.
However, the facts once again proved that her heart was dripping with blood early, as long as she was involved with Qin Xiao, she would not stop living.
"You take Qin Shizi's post to pay homage to Mr. Dong, and say that you have accepted it. I am really sick and can't see anyone. Please forgive him. As for asking me to go to the mansion to rest for a few days, there is no need. Everything depends on Qin Shizi's illness. Most importantly, thank you Dong Da for your kindness. Don't bother the two masters with one thing, Qin Shizi's condition has improved, so don't bother the doctor Dong Da invited to work hard."
Jin Xi put down the greeting card in his hand, feeling like scratching the wall.
How many greetings is this?
Starting from Danling, the news of Qin Xiao's illness spread like wings, like a gust of wind.Along the way, the prefects and county magistrates of Xiunan, Bishui, Zhaoze, Yu'an and other places lined up on the pier to visit the sick.Without exception, they brought the most famous doctors in the area, as well as large and small bags of various medicinal materials that she could think of.
That posture is like opening a mobile drug store on the pier, and it is a pity for people not to board the boat.
But Jin Xi could only grit his teeth and act like a villain, pretending not to see the speculative, contemptuous or mocking eyes of everyone.There was no way for her to let her lie down on the bed with only two pillows, put her on the boat, and ask about the whereabouts of the imperial envoy, and she couldn't end it.
Let people gossip in private, scolding her for being the master of the house for Qin Xiao because she has no shame, no name and no role, it will not lose a piece of meat.It was discovered that Qin Xiao was not on board the whole time, and the nature of the matter was different.
Zhou Qingniu took the post from Shunchang Zhizhou Dong Zhixing and turned to get off the boat.These days, he has blocked congratulations for Qin Xiao many times, and he has gained experience in dealing with these officials.
Don't get used to it, the more you get used to it, the harder it will be for you to get entangled by them.These people were determined to join the imperial envoy, so it was so easy to block them back.On the contrary, hold on to the airs and don't show any face, so that the mess can be cut quickly.
Zhou Qingniu made up his mind, but when he landed on his feet, he looked at Mr. Zhizhou who was wearing a red official robe in front of him, his expression was as sharp as a knife, and his tone was still involuntarily polite, "Mr. I'm not feeling well, and I really can't see guests, please forgive me, Mr. Dong." As he spoke, he passed the greeting card in his hand, and lowered his body a little.
Although it's wrong to watch people order dishes, Zhou Qingniu lowered his body by two points when he was dazzled by Jin Huanghuang's third-grade Peacock Buzi.If this model were to fall into the eyes of the officials who sent the greeting cards in front, they would definitely be moved to tears.The guards under the imperial envoy are too kind to people!
Even Zhou Qingniu felt that he had a surprisingly good temper, but he heard a sneer from Dong Zhixing above his head.
"I have an important meeting with the imperial envoy, who dares to stop me!"
