“Your Majesty, the old minister thought that not only should we not be able to behead that Mo Wuji, we should also greatly reward him.” County Duke Han Sheng’an hurriedly stood out and said.
“Then why?” Situ Qian frowned slightly.
He was already disliking the Northern Qin County King Mo, and now that the descendant of the Mo family had this kind of good wound healing medicine, he actually didn’t know to offer it to the Cheng Yu Kingdom, but instead just casually made it known to everyone. No matter if this Mo Wuji was playing with his heart or had ulterior motives, he didn’t want to know, killing was the way to go.
“Your Majesty, Mo Wuji gratuitously contributing the Nine Lives Healing, this is something that benefits the country and the people. If it was before Mo Wuji took out this medicine, the Great King could kill at will. But now, the Great King cannot kill. If it were to be known that Mo Wuji had taken out the Nine Lives Healing Fluid for the benefit of the people for free, and instead lost his life because of it, it would not be favourable to my king’s reputation, and it would not be favourable to my Seung Yu Kingdom.
On the other hand, if it were to be known that Mo Wuji gave out such a beneficial tool for the country just because this Nine Lives Healing Liquid benefited countless people, living countless lives, the Great King would spare Mo Wuji’s death sentence and even reward him heavily. Then my Cheng Yu Kingdom will be more solid and the people of the kingdom will be more united.”
County Duke Han Shengan consciously retreated to the side after he finished speaking.
His words were not overly clear, but Situ Qian understood. That is, Mo Wuji had offended him, Situ Qian, and he, Situ Qian, did not ask Mo Wuji’s offence because what Mo Wuji did was beneficial to the people, and even rewarded him profusely. Then his Situ Qian’s position would be more secure and would be loved by more people.
He didn’t care if a little Mo Wuji was dead or alive, this kind of inviting fame and solid position, Situ Qian didn’t mind more. What’s more, things had already happened, choosing to invite fame or choosing to tarnish one’s reputation, a fool would know what to do. Besides, to kill Mo Wuji can be done anytime, when things settle down over here and everyone forgets about Mo Wuji, feel free to do so.
“Old Sheriff Duke has a point, come on, bring Mo Wuji up.” Situ Qian instantly figured out the key to this.
A few moments later, a young man with a pale face and dark eyes with hair that was still a little messy was brought to the top of the grand hall.
This was the pill refiner who had researched the Nine Lives Healing Liquid?
All of them were stunned by Mo Wuji’s dishevelled appearance, in general, pill refiners did pay some attention to their appearance, but that was only when they were refining pills. For the most part, pill refiners were still very tastefully dressed. Even when they were refining pills, they were not as bad as Mo Wuji, right?
“Don’t kneel down yet.” The forbidden guard who brought Mo Wuji here, saw Mo Wuji blankly surveying the situation in the grand hall and lightly shouted.
Mo Wuji acted as if he didn’t hear it, still looking around blankly. He didn’t even know that he had to pay his respects to the king and salute or anything like that.
“You go down, to be able to become a pill refiner and do something so beneficial to the country and the people, I will allow him to stand here and talk.” Situ Qian waved his hand at that forbidden guard and spoke even more pleasantly.
After the forbidden guard went down, Situ Qian then looked at Mo Wuji and asked, “You are Mo Wuji?”
Mo Wuji seemed to wake up from his soul travelling outside, looking at Situ Qian suspiciously for a while before he exclaimed in shock, “You are the King? Yes, yes I am Mo Wuji.”
A minister standing on the left side was about to step forward to chastise Mo Wuji again, but was stopped by Situ Qian raising his hand, “I heard that you have researched out the Nine Lives Healing Liquid, a top notch healing medicinal liquid, can you tell me how you researched it out.”
It wasn’t like he hadn’t heard about Mo Wuji’s madness. After all, he was the legitimate successor of the Northern Qin County King, he could still receive such news, it was just that he wouldn’t take it to heart. In other words, if Mo Wuji hadn’t come up with the Nine Lives Healing Fluid, even if he died on the streets, he, the Collared King, wouldn’t take it seriously.
If Mo Wuji was really a pill refining genius, he could still utilise this person again if he didn’t kill him.
Mo Wuji let out a slight sigh of relief, he didn’t realise that he had just taken a trip from the gates of hell. But now, this Collar King probably wouldn’t kill him. He was killed by the medicine to expand his meridians, and because he was afraid that the penicillin would bring him real bad luck, he had found someone to reprint the penicillin’s production method overnight, and he hadn’t even closed his eyes until now, so it would be strange for him to be in good spirits.
Into the hall slightly demented look is also intentional, he would have been crazy people, even if the reaction is slowed down half a beat also said the past.
“Back to the king, that was something my father left me before he died, he said that if there was a day when it was difficult to even survive, he would take out the Nine Lives Healing Liquid. I was previously stimulated by some false fame, causing me to lose my usual mind. After I got slightly better, I remembered what my father left me on his deathbed, and then took it out to collaborate with Dan Han in pill refining. As for pill refining, I’ve never learnt it.” Mo Wuji explained.
So that’s how it was, Situ Qian suddenly regretted a little bit that he didn’t pay attention to this Mo Family descendant earlier. He didn’t have much doubt in Mo Wuji’s words. Because he also knew that Mo Tiancheng was actually a pill refiner, it would be just as normal for Mo Wuji not to have learnt pill refining. Was pill refining something that anyone could learn? Mo Tiancheng was a pill refiner, when he disappeared, Mo Wuji was still just unborn right, so how could he teach?
“Then why did you issue this recipe everywhere?” Situ Qian continued to ask.
Mo Wuji said with a slightly nervous look, “This formula was originally left by my grandfather for my father to bless the people and benefit the people of a county when he inherited the county king. Until my father passed away, he didn’t have the chance to inherit the County King. I was too obsessed with the dream of being a county king before and ended up in a dead end. Now that I have recovered a bit, I also know that my Mo family will never have the chance to inherit the County King of Northern Qin again, so I want to take the opportunity to launch the Nine Lives Healing, so that more people will be able to live as a result, and accumulate some merit for my Mo family.”
Situ Qian secretly nodded, even though the Northern Qin County King had always been the Mo Family. When a new county king succeeded to the throne and wanted to better control a county, using this kind of means that benefited the general public, that would be the most suitable and most able to increase prestige and support. He believed 90% of Mo Wuji’s words.
“Since that’s the case, then why did you first co-operate with Dan Han Pharmaceutical Refining to sell this wound healing liquid at a high price? It was only after collaborating to produce a batch that you chose to distribute the formula?” Situ Qian stared directly at Mo Wuji as he asked.
Mo Wuji said with some trepidation, “I couldn’t even feed myself before, it’s even more unlikely that I would have the money to advertise this wound healing medicine. Master Lu Fang of Dan Han’s Pill Refining has been kind to me, and I chose to produce a batch and then disperse it for free for three reasons. One is to have enough money to publicise it, the second is to repay Master Lu Fang’s kindness, and the third is to let more people know that the Nine Lives Healing is a top-quality healing medicine, and that it’s not just me making it up.”
Hearing Mo Wuji’s reply, Situ Qian regretted even more. It was only a day late, ah, as long as he knew about this news a day in advance, then there was no way that this healing medicine would have been leaked.
Situ Qian forcibly put this upset aside, and only after a slight contemplation did he then say, “Mo Wuji, even though the Nine Lives Healing Pill wasn’t developed by you, it’s still a contribution from your Mo Family to the Cheng Yu Kingdom. As the king of the Cheng Yu Kingdom, I have decided to reward you, and if you wish to continue to inherit the county king position of the Northern Qin County Kingdom, it is not impossible.”
Some of the people who knew Mo Wuji’s details heard this and sighed at Mo Wuji’s luck. It was really a case of how one would plant a flower if they had the intention to do so, but how one would turn a willow into a shade if they didn’t have the intention to do so. Previously, when the Mo Family went crazy for the County King position, Mo Guangyuan died and Mo Xinghe, which was this Mo Wuji, didn’t get the County King position. Now Mo Wuji took out the Nine Lives Healing Liquid, but instead, he easily got the County King position.
Almost all of them thought that Mo Wuji would have to inherit the County King of Northern Qin, after all, this guy had gone crazy for the County King position. After going crazy, he was still dreaming of being a county king.
Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart, if Situ Qian really wanted to give the county king position to the Mo family, it wouldn’t have happened that his cheap old dad died in Raozhou City. Taking a step back, if he had a brain fart and agreed to inherit the county king of the Northern Qin County Kingdom, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be far from death.
Not to mention whether he could get out of Raozhou to go to North Qin, even if he could reach North Qin, he was alone with a county king seal to be a county king, did he think he would die fast enough? Yesterday’s almost poisoning was still in front of his eyes, how could he forget?
Regardless of who the person who poisoned the arrow wood on him was, Mo Wuji was certain that after he died, this Lord Cheng Yu Kingdom King would not have half a word to say.
