Lord of Rot

Chapter 314 The Captured Prisoner

After finishing what he was doing, Li Qi walked towards his room. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a figure with long red hair wandering at the door of his room.

"Good night, Miss Evangelion"

Li Qi took the initiative to say hello.

When the other party saw Li Qi coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Sorry to disturb you so late, I just have something to do..."

Her index finger gently hooked the edge of the dress. The complexity of her mood could be guessed by the number of circles her fingers stirred in the dress.

"If there's anything I can do to help."

Li Qi nodded.

But now there is a small question, whether to continue chatting with Hong Qiangwei at the door, or to invite the other party into the room.

"Can we go in and talk?" she asked softly.

"Of course, please come in."

Li Qi opened the door very openly.

However, Red Rose, who followed him into the room, took the initiative to close the door, making his magnanimity suddenly feel a little sneakier.

It's a bit exciting, but also quite scary.

Li Qi pulled out a chair and let Hong Qiangwei sit down and talk slowly. He ensured that she would feel safe, stepped back a distance, and stood on the other side of the bed.

"It's my father's business," Red Rose said, "Siduo told me that the reason why you went to Iron Valley was because of that magic potion."

Li Qi immediately replied: "If you are here for that kind of magic potion, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I haven't found that kind of potion yet."

"No, of course I know how rare the magic potion that only exists in legends is, and it is normal to not find it. I just hope you can find the potion sooner... No matter what kind of potion it is, He, he might not last much longer."

It turned out that she just wanted her father to live a happier life.

And very sane.

The idea of ​​giving counterfeit medicine also coincided with Li Qi's. Apart from the Duke, this was the most reasonable way to deal with it.

He suspected that it was not Red Rose who proposed this idea, but the sons of dukes who were eager for power, such as Sydur and Pine.

But no matter what, Li Qi refused.

If he gave the fake medicine and the Duke died later, wouldn't it mean that everyone would know that Baron Li Qi deceived the Duke and used fake herbs to pass off as the magic potion of immortality?

The consequences and side effects are not even much lighter than betraying one's own lord.

No one will be willing to serve a lord without integrity or loyalty.

Therefore, Li Qi was determined not to sacrifice his reputation.

"I promise you, sir, to find the potion for him. If I can't find it, I will go to Roaring Keep to apologize, but I will never deceive you."

Red Rose was a little anxious: "I'm not asking you to lie to him, this is just to make him happy in the end."

Li Qi shook his head and said: "You may not be happy if you die in the lies of happiness concocted by others."

Seeing that she really couldn't talk to him, Hong Qiangwei had no choice but to give up.

Suddenly, there were footsteps outside.

From far to near.

Finally, the other party stopped at the door of Li Qi's room.

Hong Qiangwei knew that if she stayed any longer, misunderstandings would likely occur.

She stood up quickly, straightened her skirt, forced a smile at Li Qi, and walked towards the door.

"knocking"

"Lord Li Qi, it's me." The voice sounded like Agnes.

Red Rose turned to look at Li Qi with a strange expression, her eyes questioning.

At this time, it is hard not to think about the fact that his sister, who already has a fiancé, comes to look for Li Qi.

But Hong Qiangwei completely forgot that she was the first one to come looking for Li Qi.

"Miss Agnes?" Li Qi didn't know why the other party came to find him.

At the same time, he glanced at Red Rose.

It seems to be saying, don't you want to go out? Why aren't you leaving yet?

How should I get out in this situation?

Red Rose simply remained motionless on the spot.

"Yes!" came the response from outside the door.

Li Qi opened the door and looked at Agnes standing outside the door: "Is something wrong?"

"Steven was too embarrassed to come, so he asked me to come." Agnes's expression was slightly ugly: "We have captured a prisoner."

"Prisoner?" Li Qi asked in surprise: "Who did you capture?"

Agnes said: "A noble with giant feet was preparing to sneak attack us, but he was discovered and defeated by Steven, and the man was injured..."

East Gorge and Giant's Foot are at peace.

Although a captured nobleman is unlikely to trigger a war, it is indeed not good news.

Agnes continued: "After what happened, Steven said he could fix it. But now it doesn't look like he can... The guy's wound keeps getting worse. He's probably going to die and I just have to come and be like You ask for help.”

If it was really Steven who did this, Li Qi felt it was reasonable.

It's his character.

The only thing Li Qi didn't quite believe in was Steven's fighting ability.

However, there are soldiers and guards around Steven. If a few people surround him, it is not difficult for several hundred people to attack him.

"Where is he?" The voice came from behind Li Qi.

"Ewen Jielin?" Agnes looked at the figure in surprise, not expecting that the other figure would be in Li Qi's room.

"The carriage was just when we came." Agnes came back to her senses and continued: "Because it is your birthday, Li Qi, we don't want to cause too much trouble and affect everyone's mood."

"I'm afraid that's already a problem."

Li Qike didn't expect that he would have to wipe someone else's butt on his birthday.

He turned back to the room.

"Jingle Bell"

Ring the bell, and soon the footman trots over.

"Bring Vic over immediately and tell him someone is seriously injured," Li Qi ordered.

"Yes!"

The implications of this matter can be large or small, but Li Qi and Hong Qiangwei have the same judgment, that is, it is best not to let other nobles who come here know about this matter.

The injured southern prisoners were quickly sent to the cells of the security team.

After waiting for a while, herbal apprentice Vic finished treating the prisoner's injuries.

"How is he doing?" Li Qi asked.

"The wound has been severely rotted and suppurated," Vic said. "I have helped him dig out the lesion. If penicillin is useful, he may be able to save his life."

Li Qi glanced at the figure lying on the hospital bed.

"It depends on his luck."

"Where's the injury? Cut with a sword?" He was very concerned about this, because as far as he knew, Steven's fighting ability was almost non-existent.

It was even more impossible to fight immediately. Unless Steven was as cheating as himself, he would be beaten. At most, he would rely on the armor's good defense to bully the farmers.

Vic replied: "No, it was scratched by a claw, like some kind of large beast."

Li Qi secretly said: "I knew it."
