The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 69 Vomiting
Considering Li Miao and Wang Hai's internal strength, the fatigue from two days of galloping on horseback was not considered too great a drain.

So the two men whipped their horses all the way, and even exchanged two horses with merchants on the road, and arrived at Tai'an City ahead of time.

The two of them hadn't had a proper meal in the past two days, and they had been on the horse all the way, so they both felt a little hungry at this moment.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll go up the mountain overnight to see what the Ming Cult is planning." Li Miao said.

Wang Hai has no objection.

So the two of them found a tavern, tied their horses at the door, went in, ordered a few side dishes, and started eating.

While eating, Wang Hai sighed.

"Captain, this mission is really... I thought it was just Zuo Lishan's business, at most we could bring a flag master or something like that."

"Now, the left and right eunuchs are here. The flag master Zhou has been a headache for the commander for many years, but now he can't even get a place here."

"This job is hard to be done by any other captain. Even if Envoy Bu comes, he will be trapped."

"Now there's a eunuch getting in to mess things up... I don't know what happened to the commander."

Li Miao just smiled.

Wang Hai was not clear about this, but he was very familiar with it.

Of course, Li Miao and Wang Hai left Beijing together, and he had never seen the people sent by Shuntian Prefecture, so he naturally didn't know what changes had taken place in Beijing.

But he was very familiar with the eunuchs snatching jobs from the Jinyiwei.

"Execute first and report later, authorized by the emperor. This is the Western Factory."

However, Da Shuo is very different from the Ming Dynasty in Li Miao's previous life. Whether it is the East Factory or the West Factory, the signs of their emergence have only begun now, which is far later than the Ming Dynasty.

Li Miao took a bite of the dish and said, "I don't really care about the eunuchs. At most, I can beat them up and take them back to Shuntian Prefecture."

"I have been working under the commander for twenty years. He has always been the one to take the blame and I have always been the one to die."

"Since he didn't ask anyone to call me back, it means he wanted me to punish that eunuch. Now the old man is probably writing a letter of apology in Shuntian Prefecture."

All I can say is that Li Miao knows Zhu Zai too well.

When he came to Dashuo, he was only seven or eight years old. He had no father or mother. When he woke up, he would hide among the beggars in the corner. Because of his excellent physique, he was discovered by the Jinyiwei and taken away for training. When he was fifteen years old, he joined the Jinyiwei and worked under Zhu Zai.

If we really want to talk about relatives in Dashuo, Xiao Si counts as one, Zhu Zai counts as one, and Wang Hai can only count as half at the moment.

After 20 years of getting along, Li Miao knew Zhu Zai's thoughts very well. Zhu Zai also knew what Li Miao would do. So even if Li Miao didn't know the situation, he wouldn't be as hesitant as Wang Hai.

Back to the present, the two of them lowered their heads to eat. After they finished their meal, Wang Hai called out, "Waiter, check out."

The waiter ran over, but stopped halfway, sneezed, and then ran over hurriedly.

Li Miao looked the waiter up and down, sniffed him, and his face darkened for a moment.

"Little Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

The waiter quickly replied, "Yes, sir. I may have caught a cold yesterday. I have a headache and fever."

"But I haven't been to the kitchen today. Someone else was the one who ordered the menu. There is absolutely no problem with the food you eat, so don't worry, sir."

"Oh..." Li Miao looked at the waiter's eyes carefully. The whites of his eyes were bloodshot and faintly red. He did look like he had caught a cold.

"I have traveled a lot and know a little bit about medicine. Otherwise, how about I take your pulse?"

These days, seeing a doctor and getting medicine are very expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to see a doctor when they are sick. For example, for a cold, they just fight it themselves.

In fact, the waiter has been feeling uncomfortable since he got up today, but as a poor family, they don't have much surplus food, so they just cook and eat every day.

If I don't go to work today, I'll be hungry tomorrow, so I'll just force myself to work.

Hearing what Li Miao said, the waiter smiled embarrassedly: "Sir... no need to bother. It's just a slight cold, just cover yourself up."

"It's not worth spending several hundred dollars to buy medicine for such a minor illness." Li Miao said: "From my point of view, your illness doesn't seem to be as simple as a cold."

"Let's go with number one."

Having said that, regardless of the waiter's refusal, he directly grabbed the waiter's pulse with his backhand.

Does Li Miao know how to treat illnesses?

Of course not. But he certainly didn't do it on a whim to deceive the waiter.

Li Miao secretly transferred a trace of true energy into this small second meridian gate.

For those who have not practiced martial arts, their meridians will become blocked as they age, so disciples usually start practicing martial arts at around ten years old. This is when the muscles and bones have begun to grow and the meridians are still open, and laying a solid foundation can be more effective.

The young man was not very old, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and most of his meridians were blocked, so Li Miao could only pass a tiny bit of true Qi into him to avoid damaging his meridians while exploring the situation inside his body.

After this exploration, Li Miao's expression turned cold.

The waiter wanted to refuse, but Li Miao's grasp was too fast and he didn't see it clearly. After Li Miao grasped his pulse, he felt as if a warm current flowed into his body, and his originally cold body recovered a lot.

He was about to say thank you when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"Wow--"

He suddenly vomited all over the floor.

Li Miao let go and dodged, then looked intently at the pile of filth.

There were clearly several blood-red worms with white rings and as thick as hair wriggling inside.

Wang Hai had been paying attention to Li Miao's actions since the beginning. He knew that Li Miao would never do anything without a purpose. When he saw the insect, he immediately stood up.

"Qianhu! This!"

Li Miao looked down at the pile of things and said coldly, "Insect poison."

"Hai'er, you and Xiao Si were infected with the love Gu, so you know Xiao Si's location."

"Go find Xiao Si right now, bring her and the people from Huashan Sect over to the provincial government office to find me."

"Let Cheng Yuanzhen deal with the Five Mountains Alliance. If things here are as I expected, thousands of lives will be lost. We can't take care of those people in the martial arts world."

"Go!"

"Yes!" Wang Hai immediately took the order, walked out of the door quickly, jumped on his horse, and galloped towards the city gate.

"Sir! This, this!" The waiter also saw the insect at this time, and was so frightened that he was shaking all over and couldn't speak clearly.

Li Miao grabbed his collar, used his Qinggong skills, and went directly to the government office of Tai'an City Prefecture.

Along the way, Li Miao could hear coughing sounds coming from the houses on both sides of the road, and even some vomiting and groaning sounds.

When the pedestrians on the road saw him running at lightning speed with a shouting person in his hand, they all tried to get out of his way.

Li Miao glanced around and saw several pairs of bloodshot eyes at a glance.

A moment later, Li Miao arrived at the provincial government office.

boom! ! !
He kicked the door open, reached out to take out the Jinyiwei badge, and used his true energy to shout using the Buddhist "Lion's Roar" kung fu.

"I am Li Miao, a captain of the Imperial Guards!"

"All officials and soldiers, come out now!"

The sound was like a loud bell, spreading throughout the city.
