Chapter 170 Cooperation
Ignoring Bai Chi's protests in response to his shock, Qin Xuanyu said, "Don't you know that a doctor cannot heal himself?"
"Fine, fine!" Bai Chi was so angry he was speechless.
Bai Chi went to see Jiang Qingyue in a huff, cursing and swearing.
Time flies, and a few days have passed. Jiang Qingyue's health has improved significantly, and her wounds have healed considerably. Although there is still pain, they no longer frequently reopen.
She spent the last few days in Luoxia Village, enjoying a leisurely and carefree time.
Watching the villagers work from sunrise to sunset, Jiang Qingyue began to yearn for such a life for the first time.
If she could, she would also like to live in seclusion in such a place, far away from conflict.
However, she still had things to do. She hadn't seen Jiang An suffer retribution yet, and the death of the Crown Prince was still a problem for the royal family. How could she just go into seclusion like this?
Today, Qin Xuanyu left in a hurry. Jiang Qingyue guessed that the messenger sent by the emperor must have arrived.
Thinking about this, Jiang Qingyue already had some ideas in mind.
She took the initiative to find the village chief through Baichi.
"I wonder what kind of help Miss Jiang needs?" At first, the village chief thought Jiang Qingyue had come to ask for help.
"I'd like to discuss a collaboration with the village chief." Jiang Qingyue got straight to the point. Qin Xuanyu trusted them, and they already knew Qin Xuanyu's identity, yet they hadn't said anything, which meant there was still room for negotiation.
The village chief couldn't help but become more serious, looking at Jiang Qingyue with a leisurely air.
As expected, this girl is no ordinary person.
"What kind of cooperation? And what can you offer?" The village chief knew that since Jiang Qingyue had brought it up, Qin Xuanyu must have already told Jiang Qingyue about their identities.
“I don’t care who you were or what you did in the past, but I believe you must have your own methods for gathering intelligence. What I need is for you to help me find out who killed the deposed crown prince.”
"That's it?" The village chief clearly hadn't expected Jiang Qingyue to make such a request.
He thought Jiang Qingyue would definitely talk about how to help the King of Qin, but instead, she said this. Suddenly, all the prepared words were useless.
"Yes, I know that His Highness does not want to involve you. However, there are some things that His Highness cannot do himself. I have already sent people to investigate, but we must also prepare for the worst. Therefore, I hope you can help with the investigation secretly."
As for what happens after the investigation, you don't need to worry about it. I have my own solutions that won't involve you or affect your desire to continue living in seclusion.
Jiang Qingyue explained all the possible escape routes to them, considering their needs in every way, leaving no room for criticism.
The village chief stared at Jiang Qingyue for a moment, then raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's not impossible. However, since it's a collaboration, what would I get in return for helping you?"
The village chief was more curious about what exactly this collaboration entailed.
"You must have some hidden injuries, which is why you have to hide in this place." Jiang Qingyue had noticed the village chief's condition from the beginning, but she hadn't brought it up.
Later, after asking Bai Chi and confirming it, she brought it up.
Bai Chi had treated him before, stabilizing his condition, but because the damage was to his very core, it was difficult for him to recover, and Bai Chi was unable to completely cure him.
However, the subtle and ingenious techniques of the Sumen Guzhen technique may not be without a solution.
Therefore, Bai Chi had an idea as soon as Jiang Qingyue asked him. He originally wanted to make an introduction, but Jiang Qingyue suggested that she should handle the matter herself, as it would be helpful to Qin Xuanyu, so he did not interfere anymore.
Upon hearing this, the village chief was shocked. Then, remembering Bai Chi, he nodded in agreement, "That's right, but even Bai Chi can't do it. Do you have a solution?"
The village chief looked Jiang Qingyue up and down, somewhat incredulous.
After all, as soon as Bai Chi returned, Qin Xuanyu pulled him over there, and they discussed Qin Xuanyu's affairs. He didn't mention Jiang Qingyue's medical skills at all.
Therefore, the village chief was unaware that Jiang Qingyue possessed medical skills.
"Of course, didn't Bai Chi tell you that His Highness Prince Qin's poison has been cured?"
"What?" The village chief couldn't sit still any longer.
Only Bai Chi and he knew just how difficult it was to cure Qin Xuanyu's poison, after all, it was the two of them who pulled Qin Xuanyu back from the brink of death.
However, Bai Chi could only suppress it, not cure it completely.
Now that they say he's been cured of the poison, is there any hope for his hidden injuries...?
"The poison in the King of Qin's body has been cured," Jiang Qingyue confirmed again.
"Who did it?" The village chief suddenly felt an urgent need to know who had the ability to do it.
"It's me," Jiang Qingyue readily admitted.
The village chief looked at Jiang Qingyue with suspicion, clearly disbelieving.
"Whether you believe it or not, it is the truth. Now that I have taken over the Ghost Sect, the Medical Sect will soon return to the martial world. At that time, the village chief will know that what I said is true."
Yes, if what Jiang Qingyue said is true, then it means that there is really hope that his hidden injury can be healed.
"If you can really do what you say, this favor is a small problem. You can even ask me to help the King of Qin rebel."
The village chief speaks without any restraint; he dares to say anything.
"That's unnecessary. You just need to help the King of Qin find out this information. We'll handle the rest ourselves; it won't involve Luoxia Village."
After hearing what Jiang Qingyue said, the village chief's opinion of her changed somewhat.
At first, I thought she was just a delicate and weak woman, but later I found that she was very resilient. After getting to know her better, I found that she was extremely intelligent, and that she was thoughtful, opinionated, and resourceful. No wonder Qin Xuanyu was attracted to her.
Jiang Qingyue began administering acupuncture based on the village chief's physical condition.
Over the past few months, she has been practicing constantly. For her, especially the last time she used the Delicate Hands Strange Needle, it was a small breakthrough, and she has become more and more adept at it.
After she administered acupuncture, the village chief quickly felt much more relaxed, which made him trust her even more.
"Village Chief, your hidden injury has been there for many years, and it's impossible for it to heal immediately. You will need to receive acupuncture every day, and the methods and prescriptions will need to be constantly adjusted. Only in this way can your meridians be widened to the maximum extent and your tolerance increased. Then, someone with high internal strength and a compatible cultivation method will help you unblock your meridians, thereby achieving the goal of resolving the hidden injury."
However, this process is not easy, and people with high internal strength and whose cultivation methods align with yours are extremely rare. Therefore, I cannot help you find such a person in the short term; you may need to keep an eye on that matter. But I can handle the rest of the treatment process for you.”
After hearing Jiang Qingyue's words, the village chief was so excited that he couldn't speak. "You...you...you..."
He cleared his slightly slurred tongue. "That's enough, that's enough. I'm already very satisfied. I can take care of the rest myself!"
The village chief looked at Jiang Qingyue with surprise and delight, his excitement barely concealed.
