Chapter 1384: The Ultimate Battle (2)

Xiahou Yi woke up early and had already been watching from the deck for more than an hour.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t understand how much he liked this beautiful scenery.

Su Xiaoxiao walked closer and heard a m.u.f.fled groan. Only then did she realize that Qing’er was lying at Xiahou Yi’s feet covered in injuries.

Xiahou Yi turned his back to Su Xiaoxiao and looked at the rising golden sun on the sea. “You’re not bad to be able to instigate a defection.”

Su Xiaoxiao walked towards him.

Another guard beside him hurriedly stretched out his arm to stop her.

Xiahou Yi raised his hand, and the guard retreated respectfully.

Su Xiaoxiao stopped beside him and looked at the rising sun.

“Since you’ve discovered me, let’s lay our cards on the table.”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t show any pity for Qing’er. She didn’t even look at her.

It was as if Qing’er was just a tool that she threw away after using it.

“Actually, what you want does not conflict with what the Wei family wants. The Wei family only wants to live in peace and be a citizen of the Great Zhou for the rest of their lives. As long as you agree to let us go, I can guarantee you that the grudge between you and the Wei family will be written off. The Wei family will never come to seek revenge on you again.”

Xiahou Yi said, “Do you think I’ll believe you?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I know you won’t believe me, so I have a second bargaining chip.”

Xiahou Yi gestured for her to continue.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a wrapped white handkerchief from her pouch. “You haven’t recovered from your illness, right? These are the last two herbs that can treat the Xiahou family’s illness. If you’re willing to let us go, I can refine them into pills to treat your illness.”

Xiahou Yi took the handkerchief and opened it. There were indeed two genuine herbs inside.

Unexpectedly, an unbelievable scene happened next.

Xiahou Yi actually threw the herbs into the sea.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered. “What are you doing!”

Xiahou Yi pushed the wheelchair around and looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “Don’t tell me you really think these herbs are for treating illnesses?”

Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “What do you mean?”

A trace of mockery flashed across Xiahou Yi’s eyes. “I placed the Wordless Book on the first floor of the Library Pavilion. Do you really think I have no access to these herbs?”

Su Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, “You placed it there on purpose?!”

Xiahou Yi did not deny it. “I thought Xiahou Qing would take it away. Unexpectedly, he went in a few times and did not find the Wordless Book. Instead, you obtained it by chance. I guess Yun Lin has already touched the herbs, right?

“There’s something you probably don’t know. The herbs recorded in the Wordless Book are not good medicine to treat this illness, but contain the poison that induces it.

“As long as the Xiahou family touches it, it will definitely flare up!”

“Is that how your illness acted up?”

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.

A trace of surprise flashed across Xiahou Yi’s eyes, as if he had not expected her to grasp it so quickly and immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

Xiahou Yi didn’t hide it. “Back then, I was like you. When I saw the Wordless Book, I thought I had found an antidote to the Xiahou family’s illness. At that time, I hadn’t acted up yet. I also thought that since I wasn’t the City Lord, I shouldn’t have acted up. It’s just that I kept thinking that if in the past…”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “You want to threaten your brother with the antidote one day, right? Why do you have to make it sound so dignified?”

Xiahou Yi said, “It’s not wrong for you to think that way. Later on, my illness acted up and I understood everything. Actually, all the people in the Xiahou family who had acted up had touched medicinal herbs that they thought were the antidote. As long as they didn’t touch it, their illness would never act up.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “So, you want to use herbs to harm your nephew.”

Xiahou Yi didn’t hide her viciousness. “Although Xiahou Qing didn’t fall for it, it’s the same if Yun Lin falls ill.”

Su Xiaoxiao sneered. “Who told you… that Yun Lin would have an attack?”

Xiahou Yi looked at Su Xiaoxiao curiously. “He didn’t touch the herbs?”

“Yes,” Su Xiaoxiao said, “but he touched the non-toxic part. Don’t you think it’s strange that the portrait recorded in the Wordless Book is a single gra.s.s and not in a blooming state? Because the herb is non-toxic. The poison is its pollen!”

Xiahou Yi’s expression changed slightly.

How could Su Xiaoxiao let have let Ling Yun touch the herbs without checking?

When she placed the herbs in the pharmacy, she immediately realized that the pollen on it was gone.

She knew the pharmacy too well.

The poison refined could definitely not be brought in. Natural herbs with medicinal effects could be accommodated. For example, the Snow Domain Hemp that had ten days of toxicity or the aconite that could dissipate the cold and relieve pain.

Retaining the herbs and removing pollen was already very telling.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and gave Xiahou Yi a sympathetic look. “Everything in the world complements and counters each other. There must be an antidote for a poisonous herb within three steps. The pollen is the trigger and can induce a relapse in your Xiahou family, but the leaf stem is its antidote. Unfortunately, you threw away the last two stalks in the world just now. My father and my second brother dug out the roots and no plant could form any more.”

At this point, Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Xiahou Yi, you’re confused.”

Xiahou Yi’s expression changed!

With Xiahou Yi’s judgment, he could naturally tell that Su Xiaoxiao was not lying.

He suddenly clenched his fists. “Stop the s.h.i.+p!”

The trusted guard beside him immediately informed them to anchor and stop the s.h.i.+p.

The guards on the s.h.i.+p jumped into the sea and swam back to scoop up the herbs that Xiahou Yi had thrown just now.

Unfortunately, there was no reference at all on the endless sea. No one knew where Xiahou Yi had thrown the herbs.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if they knew where they fell into the water, the seawater was flowing. No one could guarantee how far the herb would float and whether they would be swallowed into the fishe’s stomach.

The tense salvage began.

For the first time, Xiahou Yi revealed a furious expression in front of others.

He could not remain calm!

The salvage lasted for a full two hours.

Just as everyone was exhausted and found it difficult to even board the s.h.i.+p,

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly came behind Xiahou Yi and kicked him down with his wheelchair!

Thump!

Xiahou Yi fell into the sea in shock!
