Chapter 587: Grabbing the Pills
However, he is obviously not an important person, perhaps he is from a branch of the Yue family.
She withdrew her gaze and looked back at the fight in the distance.
At this moment, with the addition of two parties, the gang of martial artists was immediately at a disadvantage, especially since one of the parties claimed to be from the Yue family. Now, they could only grit their teeth and throw away the medicine bottle, just like the trapped man before, very unwilling but helpless.
This is now the territory of the Yue family. Twenty miles outside the city, there is a camp where the Yue family army is stationed. They are already taking a big risk by fighting here. Once the Yue family army comes, they won't be able to leave even if they want to!
However, at this time, the people on Si He's side also revealed their identities.
For a moment, people from all sides were a little surprised.
Because Si He's carriage was very low-key and simple, without any items that showed her status, and the guards accompanying her were also dressed in ordinary clothes, one could only tell that she had an extraordinary background. After all, the skills and aura of these guards could also be seen.
In the end, the gang left the place quickly and decisively, leaving only the person who had been robbed. They still had some hope of getting their things back.
The other group of Yue family members, at the signal of their master, stepped back and stopped fighting.
Guard Xiao Wu came back with the medicine bottle and after checking that there was no danger, he handed it to Si He.
At this time, the man in the carriage not far away sent someone over and introduced himself. It turned out that he was Wei Quan, the nephew of Wei, the mistress of the Yue family. Because the Wei family was in decline, they had to rely on the power of the Yue family when traveling outside, which was more convenient.
Si He didn't pay much attention to this. She took the medicine bottle and poured out the pills inside. There was only one pill, but the appearance and size of the medicine were very similar to the ones she made.
She took the pill and smelled it carefully. It was indeed a longevity pill and contained a certain amount of spiritual essence. However, the smell was much lighter and there was even a faint evil aura, but it was well concealed and difficult to detect.
After taking a look, she was sure that this was not the pill she made.
She glanced at the people in the distance and said to Xiao Wu: "Let them come over."
After Xiao Wu responded, the man came over.
The man, accompanied by his injured subordinate, walked to the carriage in a somewhat embarrassed manner, his expression alert and terrified. Then he heard the person in the carriage ask, "Where did you buy this medicine?"
At this moment, Si He had put the pill back into the bottle and was looking at the people outside through the curtain.
The man looked at the curtain of the carriage. Although he couldn't see the person inside, judging from the voice, it should be a young girl. Looking at the imposing guards around, he knew that the person inside was of noble status.
You know, the group of people next to them also claimed to be members of the Yue family, but they took a step back, although their specific relationship was unknown.
He said, "I bought it at Ruyuan Tower in Qingzhou for a high price."
Hearing this, Si He's eyes darkened a little, and she continued, "When, and what are the specific circumstances?"
He said truthfully, "Two days ago, it was said to be refined by a master. Only three pills were auctioned. Because the efficacy was unknown, there weren't many bidders. I was lucky enough to win one, but I was spotted along the way. Today, I'm grateful for your help. I will definitely reward you handsomely."
These words had another meaning. In addition to telling her the details, they also explained that the effect of the medicine was still unclear, which made her worried. In addition, they were also implicit tests and thanks, describing the act of snatching the medicine as helping her, and somewhat expecting her to return the medicine, making her feel embarrassed to snatch it openly.
Si He's lips curled up slightly, and she slowly turned the medicine bottle in her hand, and said, "You didn't know the effect of the medicine, and you were protecting it so desperately just now?"
If the final situation had not been too critical, he would not have handed over the medicine so easily.
The man smiled bitterly, "I spent a lot of money to buy this pill, so I'm naturally reluctant to give it up."
Si He was too lazy to delve into the truth of his words. Now that she had confirmed that the medicine was made by Chang Ling and that the quality of the medicine was not very good, she did not intend to keep it anymore, so she handed the medicine bottle out, and the guard Xiao Wu outside quickly took it.
She said, "I'll give you the medicine. Let's go."
The man was overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you so much! Thank you so much!"
Xiao Wu returned the medicine to him. After he took it, he didn't dare to open the bottle in front of him to check if the pills were still there. He tactfully took out a generous purse and handed it to Xiao Wu, "This is to thank you for your help."
Si He was speechless, and Xiao Wu reached out to take it.
Wei Quan, who was not far away, saw them leaving like this and wanted to stay, but because she was there, he had to give up and watch them leave with the precious medicine.
Just now Wei Quan also knew her identity, Yue Fuli's wife, Guo Jiaqu.
Although she came from a merchant family, Yue Fuli was now in power, and her status had risen accordingly. She could no longer be treated as an ordinary concubine's wife.
That's why Wei Quancai gave in again and again. Even though his aunt was the mistress of the Yue family, he didn't dare to take advantage of the situation, and this was on Yue Fuli's territory.
Si He's carriage was now moving forward again, heading towards the camp, without paying any attention to Wei Quan.
Wei Quan watched the team gradually move away. After a while, he ordered his guards: "Go, track down that man and find a way to get that longevity pill back!"
At this moment, the smile on his face was gone, and he no longer looked relaxed. He even looked a little cruel. The pretty woman beside him couldn't help but feel a little restrained when she saw this.
"Yes!" the guard responded.
……
On the other side, after Si He returned to the camp, she walked towards the tent where the ghost baby was placed without letting anyone in.
After entering the tent, she placed the lotus cage on the table with the bronze talisman. After opening the lotus cage, the small cage turned into a blooming lotus like a bud.
Without the suppression of the lotus cage, the ghost octagon exuded a faint strange aura, which was not obvious, but after she opened the small hole on the side, a terrifying aura surged out in an instant.
At this moment, even with the suppression of the bronze talisman, the talisman paper pasted in the tent also fluttered gently. Fortunately, multiple protections were arranged in the tent.
Si He took out the soul-stealing stone from the ring and placed the small stone into the ghost flute. There was still a place for it inside. When it was made before, the weapon refiners specially made it according to her requirements.
Now with the addition of the soul-stealing stone, it is truly called the Ghost Ocarina.
After putting away the soul-stealing stone, Si He put away the ghost flute, and then checked the condition of the ghost baby. Everything was fine.
The ten little ghost babies are only one day away from successfully recognizing their master, while the dual-soul ghost babies will need a few more days.
Everything was going smoothly, but things were not going well outside. There was unrest at the border again and the situation was very tense.
She heard the drumbeats calling for soldiers to gather in the camp again, and she couldn't help but frown, then she packed up her things and walked out.
