Chapter 383 Exchange
Hongyue Tower
Tuoba Jue walked to the door of a house with two guards and a servant.
The guard raised his hand and knocked on the door, and the door was quickly opened.
The person who opened the door was Huan Ying. He glanced at Tuoba Jue and others and made a gesture of invitation.
Tuoba Jue walked in and quickly glanced at the people in the room.
Jiang Ci sat at a sandalwood table, with two guards in black clothes standing behind him.
"Your Highness, please take a seat."
Tuoba Jue walked to sit opposite Jiang Ci, and Jiang Ci winked at Wu Ming beside him.
Wu Ming immediately stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Tuoba Jue.
Tuoba Jue's eyes fell on Jiang Ci for a moment, and he took a mahogany box from the boy's hand.
"The Asparagus has been brought, and the five thousand horses have been sent to Lingquan Town as you requested. Can I let my ninth sister go now?"
Jiang Ci smiled and said: "Since the Third Highness has kept his promise, the Ninth Princess will return the jade to Zhao intact. However, it is difficult to tell whether the asparagus is genuine or not. We need to ask a doctor to come here to check it. I will trouble the Third Highness to wait for a moment."
The boy standing behind Tuoba Jue raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Ci.
"The way to identify asparagus is actually very simple."
Jiang Ci looked at the young man with cold eyes, and saw that the young man was fair-skinned, with delicate features, red lips and white teeth. He was obviously a woman.
"Oh? How to tell?"
The boy said: "I need to cut off a small piece to judge the authenticity. Is Mr. Jiang willing to do so?"
Meeting the boy's bright eyes, Jiang Ci pondered for a moment: "Yes."
The boy smiled, stepped forward, and opened the box. Inside was a seemingly ordinary grass root that looked like a ginseng, but its color was much darker than that of a ginseng.
The boy took out a short knife from his waist and cut a piece of grass root. Then he took out a fire stick from his arms and blew on it. The fire stick instantly ignited. She burned the grass root in her hand against the fire stick, and there was a faint sound. The scent of medicine instantly spread into the room.
Grass roots are easily ignited and burn into gray-white powder within a short time.
When several pairs of eyes were staring at her, the young man cut his fingertips with a knife, and bright red blood beads instantly poured out along the broken hole. The young man calmly applied the powder evenly on the wound, But a moment later, when she wiped the wound with a handkerchief, something surprising happened.
The originally one centimeter long wound was instantly glued together, leaving only a faint light pink line.
The young man stretched out his white fingers in front of Jiang Ci: "Master Jiang, please see, asparagus can not only cure thousands of poisons in the world, but also heal broken wounds quickly."
Tuoba Jue followed closely and said: "This palace has always kept its promise. Since we agreed to send the Asparagus plant, we will not send you a fake plant that is inferior to the good one. You have also tested the Asparagus plant, and now you are always satisfied with it." Should I let my ninth sister go?"
Jiang Ci withdrew his gaze and looked towards Huanying.
"Bring people in."
"Yes!"
After a while, Huanying brought Tuoba Yan into the room.
Tuoba Yan has been imprisoned in the underground secret room of Hongyue Tower. Although the people here have not tortured her, she has not been groomed for many days. She looks quite embarrassed, and her usual noble and gorgeous appearance is completely gone. .
"Yan'er, third brother is here." Tuoba Jue immediately stood up and walked forward after seeing his sister.
He looked up and down and saw that there were no obvious injuries on Tuoba Yan's body, so he let go of his heart.
Tuoba Yan glanced deeply at Jiang Ci, who was sitting at the table, with a trace of hatred flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Ci's willingness to let her go this time must be because he got the five thousand horses from the third brother. She must not just swallow this bad breath.
Tuoba Jue looked at Jiang Ci: "Where is the antidote for my ninth sister?"
Jiang Ci took out a bottle of antidote from his sleeve robe, poured out one pill and waved it out, and Tuoba Jue received it accurately.
He didn't trust Jiang Ci, so he handed the pill to the boy first. The boy took it and handed it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. He confirmed that the pill did not contain poison and nodded lightly at Tuoba Jue.
"Sister Ninth, take the medicine first."
Tuoba Yan reached out and took the pill, opened her mouth and swallowed it.
Before leaving, Tuoba Jue stopped, turned around and gave Jiang Ci a meaningful look: "Master Jiang, our grudges have been settled. If you are lucky enough to go to Rongdi in the future, this palace will definitely entertain you well." you."
When he said these words, Tuoba Jue's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Jiang Ci took a sip of tea and smiled lightly.
"Your Highness, you'd better hope that we won't meet in Rongdi in the future. If that day does come, it will definitely be the moment when my Sui cavalry rides down the Mobei grassland."
Tuoba Jue's face darkened slightly, and anger surged in his heart.
"Then we'll see."
Putting down his harsh words, Tuoba Jue and Tuoba Yan quickly left Hongyue Tower.
Huan Ying said: "Sir, when the young man passed by Bei Zhi just now, Bei Zhi smelled a faint fragrance on her body, and her face was too delicate. She didn't look like a man from head to toe."
Huan Ying's analysis coincides with Jiang Ci.
The young man beside Tuoba Jue is definitely not an ordinary follower. Thinking of the fact that asparagus is a sacred medicine in southern Xinjiang, and the woman knows the efficacy of asparagus so well, could it be that she is from southern Xinjiang?
The mothers and concubines of Tuoba Jue and Tuoba Yan are from southern Xinjiang, so it is not surprising that the woman is from southern Xinjiang.
But, why did Tuoba Jue bring a woman from southern Xinjiang here?
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ci felt that Tuoba Jue must have some agenda when he brought the woman here, and the people in southern Xinjiang were good at using poison, so he had to be wary of them.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Tuoba Jue and the others. If they have any movements, report them to me in a timely manner."
"Yes!"
