Chapter 169: Just Say I’m Your Father

Xi Yue was a little frustrated.

However, it was quickly realized that even if Monroe did not leave, he would never be able to diagnose and treat Gongjiu. They are two thousand-year-old enemies, Monroe would be regarded as dignified without taking advantage of the danger.

With such relief, he completely abandoned Monroe. Instead, he replied to Guangzuo’s inquiries, and briefly explained to him the personnel he had experienced and encountered in the past few days.

Guangzuo was thrilled.

Especially when she heard that she was bitten by a group of snakes, she couldn’t help taking a step forward, grabbing her hand to see her injury. To the shocked pair of Shang Xiyue’s eyes, Fang reacted to his gaffe:

“Little, Miss, those water snakes, some of them are very venomous, you…are you okay?”

Xi Yue smiled relievedly: “Have you forgotten that I still have an antidote? Don’t worry, it’s just some skin trauma, but the medicine is on, and the scab is early.”

Guangzuo glanced at her thin body, tightly caged narrow sleeves, and her pupils dimmed. After pondering for a while, he said:

“The Li family man described by Miss should be a sacrificial offering by the Li family.”

“The Li family can drive poison and dictate secrets that have not been passed down for generations. Only by being selected as the successors of the sacrifice can they learn this secret technique from the mouth of the previous sacrifice.”

“The sacrificial candidates are selected from the middle-level descendants of the Li family, regardless of concubines, and only men can serve. This sacrificial person enjoys the greatest resources of the Li family and respects his status. Correspondingly, he must also undertake the important task of guarding the family.”

Xi Yue nodded her head to indicate that she understood, and thought to herself: Both father and Dage once said that Guangzuo was the most capable dead servant of the Xi family, and that it was especially good at collecting information.

Sure enough. How long have they been here in Yongli County? Guangzuo has even inquired so clearly about the internal affairs of Ren Li’s family.

Guangzuo ignored her piercing eyes and continued to explain in detail:

“The current Li family sacrifices his surname in Jimo, with a single name. The Li family has never heard of such a person before. More than a year ago, when Jimo suddenly appeared, he confessed his blood with the head of the Li family, and in one fell swoop. Win the trust of old priests and become a new priest.”

“This person is of unknown origin, and his actions are treacherous; if he stares at Miss, Miss will have to be very careful in the future!”

“Fortunately, I ran into Mr. Mu and General Bian this time.” Xi Yuexin had lingering fears.

Had it not been for the two people to help each other out of righteousness, she was afraid that she would still hide and seek hide-and-seek with chasing soldiers in the dense forest! Whether it can escape or not is still unknown.

Guang Zuo nodded: “Nan’an Wang Ran Chengyu is wide and kind, and most of his subordinates are outstanding loyal people. It is unfortunate that Miss can meet them.”

During the conversation, the two walked to the bottom of the mountain. Taking advantage of the darkness, Guangzuo directly introduced her to a farmer quietly:

“Miss, the tenants who live here are the three tenants of our manor. They were responsible for the seedling breeding before. They are honest and reliable, Miss can rest assured.”



“But Miss, this makeup look…”

Xi Yue hesitated: “Mr. Mu gave me this perfect dress and disguise, I will continue to use this face. Just say…just say I am your father!”

After a word, Guang slipped his left foot and almost staggered into the door.

In fact, Xi Yue also blurted out, seeing Guangzuo looking back without saying a word, she felt at first. The tone became weaker by a few points: “Or…or say that I am your uncle?”

Guangzuo’s face was even darker.

Xi Yue thought for a while, cautiously: “…Grandpa?”

“Subordinates are orphans!”

Guang Zuo’s voice was a bit gritted his teeth: “Miss, just say: You are the newly-purchased steward of your subordinates! Before you can take office, the manor was sealed up, you can only hide here first!”

“Oh…good, good!”

Xi Yue felt that something was wrong, and couldn’t tell. It was obvious that Guangzuo was angry, and he quickly agreed. Guang Zuo twitched his mouth and led her into the small courtyard where the door was knocked open.

This small courtyard is worthy of its name. Visual inspection is only fifty or sixty squares. However, there is a garden in the front and a garden in the back, planted with vegetables, making full use of every open space.

In the dimly narrow bamboo room, an old woman with patched dresses carefully placed an oil lamp on the dark and shabby table. The old man opened the door enthusiastically and offered two bowls of water.

That’s right, it’s the bowl. There is still a big hole missing on the edge of the bowl, and the water is still cool. Xi Yue was tired and hungry, and ignoring her disgust, holding the bowl, she drank vigorously.

“Old Uncle Chen, Sister-in-law Park, this is a newcomer to Zhuangzi; Miss saw that he knew a little bit and planned to use it as an inner garden manager. Unexpectedly, the manor was sealed by the government and had to be brought here first. Come and rest.”

Guangzuo took out a small silver coin: “If you have anything to eat, whether it is good or bad, let’s make something for him first.”

Old man Chen then took the silver and handed it to his sister-in-law Park behind him. The couple smiled and blossomed:

“Housekeeper, you are so polite! This is what the little people should do. You have rewarded dozens of taels before and after… the little people are really, but they are disrespectful…”

Sister-in-law Park hurried to the back kitchen to prepare food, and Old Man Chen sat on his hips and spoke respectfully with Guangzuo.

“Mr. Gong slept in the East Room,”

Guangzuo glanced at Xi Yue, who was fidgeting: “Ms. Yue, go and see him… He is our Miss friend, and you should know him.”

Xi Yue stood up immediately and walked into the room quickly following his fingers. Guang Zuo glanced at her back with a dark gaze, turned to Old Man Chen randomly, and continued to speak.

Xi Yue opened the patched curtains, and the room was very dark. With the oil lamp shining in from the outer room, I can barely see a wooden bed against the wall, a wooden stool next to the bed used as a bedside table, and a crumbling closet at the corner of the door.

In addition, the corners at the bottom of the bed were piled with dust and debris, and the air was full of a strong smell of earth.

This room should be isolated from the master bedroom, without windows, so it is not ventilated.

Sitting on the side of the bed, Xi Yue leaned over to watch Gong Jiu fall asleep unconsciously. Her face was white paper, her lips were black and her heart was extremely uncomfortable.

If he is awake, he will definitely dislike the current environment. However, she has no ability to change the status quo.

Fingers groped his cold face a little bit, unconsciously, eyes sore.

With a thought, he didn’t think too much, pulled out the dagger he was wearing, and gently pulled the opening in his arm, and then he brought the wound of instant blood to his mouth.

Even if he didn’t realize it, he still had an instinctive reaction when he was stained with Blood Palace Nine, slowly sucking in the blood flowing into his mouth.

Xi Yue was in a bad state and didn’t dare to feed more. When she felt dizzy, she stopped immediately, took medicine from the space bag to stop the bleeding, and wrapped her wound with a clean cloth tape. By the way, wipe off the blood on Gong Jiu’s mouth.

After doing all this, she hugged Gong Jiu and rested silently. She only let go of her hands when she heard the sister-in-law Park shouting for dinner.

“Wake up soon…”

She whispered in his ear: “I need you!”

She got up and walked out of the room. Behind her carelessly, Gong Jiu’s long eyelashes that closed her eyes trembled very slightly.
