Chapter 1225 - 955: The Death of Suisui’s Father_2
At the time, I was still wondering in my heart, what exactly did Miss Xi’Er whisper in his ear?
How did it cause such an expression on his face?
Until we walked far away, passing the Qinyuan Valley in front, a pass that could only accommodate three to five people, Miss Xi’Er asked us to stop. She said: This is the burial ground for those Beiyuan pursuers. I ask all the brothers to help, climb to the top of the mountain, prepare some stones and logs, set up stumbling ropes below, we need to rescue Li Qi here and bring him home with us!
It was at that moment we truly discovered how clever Miss Xi’Er really was!"
"Did you do as she asked?"
Old Madam Ji asked.
"Of course we did, not only did we do so, but there were even harsher things to follow!"
"Harsher? What else did she do?"
Old Madam Ji was listening with her whole heart in suspense.
"The harsher thing was that not far from Qinyuan Valley there was a village, Miss Xi’Er had me accompany her to spend a high price to buy the fireworks and fuel oil from the farmers."
Old Madam Ji’s eyes flared, suddenly bursting with brilliance.
"If this child were a boy, she would certainly inherit her father’s mantle!"
Ji Youyuan nodded, "Since young, my sister has been lazy, but she is excellent at reading and writing, remembers everything at a glance, and often applies the theories from books into practice.
If she really were a boy, I’m afraid she would have gone to the battlefield long ago."
Ji Youzhi added, "When Fifth Sister was young, she was lazy, but she always loved to hit me. After I learned martial arts, she couldn’t beat me anymore, but I was often tricked by her to the point of eating dirt!"
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Ji glared at him.
"You always forget the good things. Your Fifth Sister has also treated you well sometimes, why can’t you remember?"
Ji Youzhi scratched his nose, "I really can’t remember!"
Old Madam Ji: "..."
Ji Youyuan also glared at him, "Back then, Xi’Er got lost because she found out you were missing and insisted on looking for you, so she buried herself in the snow for so long, and it was then she injured her body, which affected her when giving birth to Suisui..."
Ji Youyuan couldn’t continue anymore, and Ji Youzhi also looked a bit troubled.
He reached out to pat his younger brother on the shoulder: "It’s all in the past, don’t always remember the bad, think more about her good."
Ji Youzhi nodded, looking perplexed.
"Alright, let’s continue to hear Sir Yuan’s story!"
Old Madam Ji interrupted the two sons, casting a glance at Yuan Yifan.
"Continue, sir."
Yuan Yifan nodded.
"Miss Xi’Er was very clever. She temporarily packed the explosives into dry bamboo tubes, sealed them leaving a fuse, and had me hide them halfway up Qinyuan Valley, pouring fuel oil around the bamboo tubes.
After we finished this, Li Qi was the first to rush to Qinyuan Valley.
Behind him was a squad of cavalry, with a large number of soldiers.
But we still followed Miss Xi’Er’s original plan, blocked the enemies in Qinyuan Valley, and with the explosives and fuel oil, killed many Beiyuan cavalry. After silencing everyone, we rode our horses overnight back to the Great Han territory."
"So you didn’t die in Beiyuan, how did Li Qi end up dead?"
Listening to this, Ji Youzhi felt something didn’t add up, suspecting there was more to the story.
"Yes, there is indeed more to the story. When we returned to Great Han, we found that Li Qi had been shot with an arrow and was poisoned."
"Poisoned? What kind of poison?"
Ji Youzhi couldn’t help but ask.
"It was a poison mixed with scorpion venom and snake venom."
"A venomous heart! The poisoned won’t notice at first, but once discovered, their martial arts become useless, then they go into hibernation like a snake, dying before winter ends."
Ji Youzhi suddenly added an explanation.
Ji Youyuan gave him a look, "How do you know so much about this?"
Even he didn’t know about this poison, how did Ji Youzhi know?
If it were Ji Youran speaking, no one would doubt.
But this matter came from Ji Youzhi’s mouth.
Even though he’s the number one Divine Hunter, does he know too much?
Ji Youzhi suddenly began to shed tears.
"I..." He looked at Old Madam Ji and suddenly burst into tears.
"Mother! It’s my fault. Seven years ago, I overheard Eighth Brother and the Emperor talking about this poison and even sent someone overnight to find Second Brother, asking him to quickly make the antidote and send it out."
