Chapter 15

"Is this the harvest of the Tide Witch?"

In the General’s Mansion.

Ji Ji Wuye held a pill and looked at it from left to right. No matter how he looked at it, there was nothing unusual about this pill.

"Yes." In front of Ji Ji Wuye, a man in black feathered clothes replied in a deep voice: "Yes, according to the letter sent back by Lady Tide Witch, this pill was refined by that person. The formula is unique, and the medicinal effect is magical. Since Your Majesty took it, many hidden illnesses in his body seem to have been cured... During this period, he has been energetic, far exceeding the past, just like..."

He paused and said the explanation given by the Tide Witch, "...twenty years younger!"

A sharp light flashed in Ji Ji Wuye’s eyes.

"In that case, it is truly a world-class divine medicine!"

"Your Majesty has the help of such a strange person; it is truly the blessing of our Han Guo!"

Ji Ji Wuye congratulated the King of Han on the surface, but in his heart, deep fear arose.

He regretted more than once that he had misjudged the situation.

If he had known that the person who accepted the reward would be so formidable, he should not have brought him to the King on that day.

It was mainly because he had encountered several scammers before that person, so he subconsciously looked down on him. Now that he thought about it, that person had shown strange aspects from the very beginning.

For example, when others accepted the King’s reward, they all tore off the edict posted on the city wall with their hands, while that person, with a wave of his hand, summoned the edict posted on the city wall into his hand.

The ability to take objects from a distance is not impossible for an expert.

But only an expert can do it.

Even without the ability to summon wind and rain or refine elixirs, based on the methods that person displayed, he was an out-and-out expert who could have been recruited for his own use, rather than sending him into the palace.

As for not having this person summon wind and rain to resolve the drought?

Ji Ji Wuye didn't care.

Under the drought, how many crops were lost and how many people died had nothing to do with him. Anyway, he could still stay in the mansion eating iced fruits, still be his Great General, and enjoy the service of beauties.

Those who died were just those lowly people.

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it now.

That person had already entered the palace and gained the King’s favor.

If it were just summoning wind and rain, it would be fine; the world is full of wonders, and there are always some strange people. But the ability to refine elixirs and make medicine that he showed later really made Ji Ji Wuye fearful.

The Tide Witch herself was well-versed in pharmacology and medicine making. Since she said this pill was so magical, it must be true.

A King of Han who is old and frail, has many hidden illnesses, and may die at any time is what Ji Ji Wuye wants.

It is precisely because the King of Han is weak and lacks energy that he needs him, the Great General, to help him handle state affairs. At the same time, for Ji Ji Wuye, he wished the King of Han would die of illness.

Only when the King of Han dies can the Crown Prince succeed to the throne.

The current King of Han, although he relies heavily on him, Ji Ji Wuye can see that this is just the King of Han’s balancing act.

If he really relied on him in every way, he would not secretly support the Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi in the court.

Of course, compared to Zhang Kaidi, he is still more valued by the King of Han.

And the King of Han’s regard is different from the Crown Prince’s. The Crown Prince was cultivated by Ji Ji Wuye himself, and his attitude toward him is respect. In addition, the Crown Prince has a weak personality and has no opinions of his own in doing things.

If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will definitely consult him on everything. At that time, it will be when his power reaches its peak.

After taking the elixir, the King of Han became twenty years younger, which is not a good thing.

"Su Xuan..." Ji Ji Wuye couldn't help but whisper this name.

"Great General, should we...?" The man in black in front of Ji Ji Wuye couldn't help but ask after hearing Ji Ji Wuye’s whisper.

Ji Ji Wuye knew what he meant.

His eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Let him go for now. This person has extraordinary methods and possesses strange skills. Let’s see if he can be recruited for our own use first. If he refuses to be used by me, it won't be too late to take action!"

"Yes!"

Ji Ji Wuye asked again: "In the Tide Witch’s letter, she only mentioned this pill and didn't say anything else?"

The man in black shook his head.

Ji Ji Wuye’s expression tightened again, and he couldn't help but feel some dissatisfaction with the Tide Witch in his heart.

Very well, with Bai Bai Yifei away, even you have started to disobey me, the General.

The order I gave you was clearly to test that person. If possible, plant a Gu worm in the other party. Even if the other party is unwilling to be used by them, they will have to be controlled by them due to the Gu poison.

For Ji Ji Wuye, the so-called test was just a polite remark; what he really wanted was the latter.

Directly let that person named Su Xuan be his dog.

Even if his methods are brilliant and he is unruly, what can he do?

When that person’s life is in his hands, he will still obediently be used by him.

"Send a letter to the Tide Witch, tell her to keep a close eye on that person. If that person has any new movements, send a letter at any time!"

Ji Ji Wuye said another sentence to the man in front of him.

The man in front of him received the order and soon went to send the letter obediently.

Lady Mingzhu soon received Ji Ji Wuye’s letter.

She also saw Ji Ji Wuye’s dissatisfaction from the letter.

But even if he is dissatisfied, what can she do?

She would like to plant a Gu worm in Su Xuan and let Su Xuan be controlled by her.

But she can't do it.

Not only can she not do it, but on the contrary, Su Xuan poisoned her, and now she is controlled by Su Xuan instead.

While responding to Ji Ji Wuye’s letter, indicating that she knew.

On the other hand, she took some precious medicinal herbs and quietly went to Su Xuan’s place.

She knew that Su Xuan was addicted to refining elixirs, and the King of Han sent Su Xuan many precious medicinal herbs. However, the King of Han’s medicinal herbs were not actually the most precious.

Because she was also well-versed in medicine, she had intercepted a large part of the many precious medicinal herbs sent into the palace.

Now, she took some of the valuable ones, preparing to use them as a gift to apologize to Su Xuan.
