Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 250 Lei Family
Lei Xirui?
Pei Nai didn't recognize the name and was about to ask Gu Jinheng beside him.

Gu Jinheng knew that she would be confused, so he spoke first beside her and explained, "Lei Xirui is the niece of Lei Laiweng, the eldest daughter of his second brother, and is also eligible to inherit the Lei family."

"We are from the Lei family of Qilu, and we were born in the East Territory. Although we were once forced to follow Lei Laiweng to rebel against Qilu and join the Wu clan's kingdom, we do not approve of his current behavior, and we do not want to be associated with the brutal Wu clan."

Lei Xirui continued, "I have led half of the Lei family to surrender to the East Border Alliance. I am willing to fight alongside you and ask for Prince Qilu's forgiveness. I also hope that you can give this half of the Lei family a chance."

After she finished speaking, she presented the Lei family's ancestral holy-patterned medicinal pestle, and bowed together with the Lei family members behind her.

She answered Daxian and explained to everyone the purpose of their visit.

The Holy Patterned Medicine Pestle is a symbol of the Lei family's inheritance rights.

Whoever holds the holy-patterned medicine pestle must obey his orders. Anyone who disobeys his orders will be expelled from the Lei family tree.

Pei Nai didn't know how she snatched the Holy Patterned Medicine Pestle from Lei Laiweng, but this was a change made by some members of the Lei family who still had conscience. They didn't want to bear the stigma of traitors forever.

Pei Nai walked slowly towards Lei Xirui, "How did you escape from the Wu tribe?"

She was worried that she would speak Tianyao language and Lei Xirui would not be able to understand her.

But Lei Xirui reacted quickly and said in Tianyao language: "There are guards guarding around the Lei family mansion in the Wu clan's territory. Once they smell blood or hear unusual noises, they will break in."

She turned to Pei Nai and continued, "So I made a new poison and drugged Lei Lai Weng and his cronies in their sleep. Lei Lai Weng's physique can detoxify. Although I can't poison him to death, it is enough to make him sleep for a day."

"We took the opportunity to seize the Holy Pattern Medicine Pestle and his token, and left the city the next morning with a simple bag. We used the excuse that 'Jiang Yue Poison Witch Hunter has difficulty walking, so we went out to find medicinal herbs for him', and passed the checkpoints all the way, taking the most isolated route in the northern border of the Wu tribe."

"Despite this, we were discovered by pursuers on the last stretch of the journey. We fought with them and got rid of them by throwing poison. We lost more than ten people in that battle. In the end, we escaped from the Wu tribe and came to the headquarters of the East Border Alliance."

Presumably, she and her tribesmen must have been under strict surveillance in the headquarters camp these days, with their medicine bottles and all materials confiscated, leaving them with no freedom of movement.

After all, everyone knows that the Lei family is good at being vicious.

If they turn against the East Border Alliance, the consequences will be disastrous.

Daxian still had some doubts and did not fully believe it. He looked at his men who came to greet him.

The man nodded at him respectfully, indicating that it was consistent with their investigation.

Gu Jinheng also looked at Lin Shengtao not far away.

But Lin Shengtao covered his mouth and said something in a voice that only Gu Jinheng could hear.

Pei Nai looked at Gu Jinheng and received a reply from him.

Lei Xirui waited for their decision, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

After all, the few people in front of them will determine the fate of the Lei family and all their descendants.

Pei Nai turned and walked towards Qu Baiyi.

Senior Qu had just been helped off his horse and was sitting on a rolling chair, bending over to feed his puppy Gungun some dried meat.

Under everyone's gaze, Pei Nai took the remaining dried meat and put it back into the side pocket of Senior Qu's rolling chair, saying, "Let Gun Gun eat less. It's time for him to lose weight."

Then, under Gungun's innocent gaze, he pushed Senior Qu and the rolling chair in front of Lei Xirui and others.

"This is Senior Qi Yuebaigun Qu Baiyi. He is poisoned. Could you please ask Miss Lei to diagnose and treat the poison for him?" Pei Nai asked.

Lei Xirui nodded, walked forward politely, and said to Senior Qu: "Could you please give me your left hand, Senior Qu?"

Senior Qu didn't say anything and just raised his wrist.

Lei Xirui held his hand, felt his pulse and listened for a while, then after obtaining Senior Qu's consent, she carefully examined his eyeballs and tongue coating.

Finally, she looked a little worried, "Senior, are you aware of the poison in the meteorite?" Senior Qu nodded and listened to her continue.

Lei Xirui recalled and said, "As far as we know, there are three kinds of alien plants inside the meteorite that produce such poison. One is the red-tipped thorn vine that is commonly seen on the edge of the cliff, the second is the green-eyed big-headed man-eating plant, and the third is a kind of blue grass that emits a faint light, but it is not aggressive and is difficult to be eaten by people. I wonder if Senior Qu is one of them?"

Everyone looked at Qu Baiyi.

He nodded and said, "It was the second plant you mentioned. The green-eyed man-eating plant bit my legs. Although I was rescued by my companions, my legs were already broken and I was also poisoned."

Lei Xirui frowned after hearing this.

"How is it? Is there an antidote for this poison?" Pei Nai asked.

Lei Xirui turned around and looked at her, seeming a little embarrassed, but still answered truthfully: "Yes, at the bottom of the roots of the green-eyed big-headed carnivorous plant, there is a parasitic long hyphae that can just suppress and eliminate the toxicity of the green-eyed carnivorous plant. But..."

Pei Nai and the others were all anxiously waiting for her answer.

"It's just that this kind of mycelium is rare. We collected all the mycelium of the Piranha Plant parasitic fungus that we could find inside the meteorite in the Western Territory, but we were only able to extract a thumb-sized amount of antidote."

Lei Xirui continued, "This antidote has been kept in Lei Laiweng's medicine storage room. I'm not sure if it still exists. It is very likely that he has used it. Moreover, the poison in Senior Qu's body is very serious. I'm afraid that small bottle will be difficult to dissolve."

After she finished speaking, she looked up and observed the expressions of Pei Nai and the others, worried that the Lei family would not be able to cure Senior Qu, would lose their value, and would be rejected by them.

But Pei Nai's reaction was beyond her expectations.

Pei Nai patted Senior Qu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Did you see that? There really is an antidote. It's either waiting for you in Lei Lai Weng's medicine storage room or under the roots of the Piranha Plant."

Senior Qu also smiled and shook his head in agreement with her, "Yes, I am one step closer to survival."

Lei Xirui was surprised by their optimism.

Da Xi'an asked from the side: "What other information do you have about the upcoming war?"

Lei Xirui replied solemnly, "Lei Laiweng has trained more than a thousand special poisonous people who can obey orders for the Wu clan god. These poisonous people have extraordinary physiques and strengths, and will be poisoned if they touch anything. It is no problem for one to fight a hundred."

"Moreover, they have detained tens of thousands of prisoners from other countries, preparing to create a large army of poisonous people on the battlefield, and divide and dispatch them to disrupt your military deployment." Lei Xirui said slowly.

Her words shocked everyone.

What an inhumane trick, turning humans into monsters and using them as weapons of war?

Lei Laiweng has gone mad in order to revive Li Sanniang, and has completely lost his humanity.
However, the Hunshu tablets can only work when a person is alive and conscious. If the Hunshu tablets have not been used during one's lifetime, there is no hope for the dead person to be resurrected.

Lei Laiweng was deceived by Yue Cang and lost his mind.

For something that was simply impossible, he let down the Lei family and betrayed Qilu. His crimes were too numerous to list!

Then, Lei Xirui turned her gaze to Gu Jinheng and explained, "Only the divine energy of Dan Dao can control the poisonous man from Lei Laiweng. I hope you can prepare early."

This is beyond reproach.

Everyone knows that once the war breaks out, Gu Jinheng will be the only one who can fight against Lei Laiong and his army of poisonous people.

"As for other information about the Wu tribe, Lei Laiweng will not tell us, and our abilities are limited, so we don't know much about it." Lei Xirui told the truth. From now on, they can only hope for their decision.

Pei Nai looked into Lei Xirui's eyes and smiled at her, "I believe you, but I need to consider the lives of others. Therefore, before the final battle is over, you and your tribesmen cannot leave Gu Jinheng's one-mile radius. Can you do that?"

"Sure, no problem." Lei Xirui opened her eyes slightly, looking a little excited.

Pei Nai raised his hand, but did not take the holy medicine pestle that symbolized the power of the Lei family. Instead, he closed Lei Xirui's fingers, asked her to hold the holy medicine pestle tightly, and said to her: "Well, welcome back to the East!"
