Chapter 116: Detoxification
"Alright, alright, no need to say more. The poison in these two people, I can cure, so there's no need to send them to the doctor."
He glanced at the two middle-aged brothers who were unconscious and said proudly.
These two middle-aged brothers gave Zhao Ji a pretty good impression, and they were willing to lend a helping hand. Zhao Ji wouldn't be stingy either, especially since it was just a small effort.
"Brother will detoxify, that's really great. Please brother take action, must rescue these two brothers, I'm grateful beyond words."
Yue Qunfang's face showed a look of surprise and delight, and she bowed her hands repeatedly to Zhao Ji.
"Move aside, let me take a look."
Nodding, Zhao Ji casually instructed.
Zhaoyi's casual attitude made Yue Junhao furious, and he glared at Zhaoyi with anger in his eyes. However, under the gaze of Yue Qunfang, he didn't dare to be presumptuous and could only obediently make way.
He went to the side of the two middle-aged brothers and squatted down. Zhao Ji checked the condition of the two men, confirming that they had indeed been poisoned. The toxicity was quite severe, with a knock-out effect, but it was still within Zhao Ji's manageable range.
He took off the backpack he was carrying and pulled out the golden needles he had prepared earlier. Zhao's hands moved swiftly, inserting the golden needles into certain acupoints on both of their bodies.
The technique of acupuncture with golden needles, in theory, Zhao Ji had already mastered it to the point of being proficient, what was lacking was only the actual combat effect.
The first time he took the needle, he seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, Zhao Ji had a few worries in his heart, wondering if he could do it.
But when he really took action, all the anxiety in his heart was thrown away. Zhao's needle moved like a cloud and flowing water, as if this step had been practiced to the bone, after thousands of times of tempering, it could be done with ease.
A dozen golden needles were stuck on the two brothers' bodies. Zhao Ji crooked his fingers and lightly plucked the golden needle, injecting internal force into it, making the golden needle vibrate slightly, emitting a buzzing sound.
As the golden needle trembled, the middle-aged brothers' bodies quivered slightly, and after a moment, threads of dark red blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, dripping drop by drop.
At the beginning, the blood flowing down showed a deep dark red color, with a fishy smell spreading out, making Zhao Ji slightly frown.
After a small cup of dark red blood flowed out, the color of the blood turned into a faint red, and the stench also disappeared. Then, Zhao skillfully withdrew the needle.
After this treatment, in just a few dozen breaths, the middle-aged brothers woke up, except for looking a bit weak, there was nothing unusual.
Knowing it was Zhao Ji who had intervened and saved them, the two brothers hastily paid their respects to him. One of them thanked him gratefully, saying: "Benefactor, thank you for saving our lives, may I ask your surname and name so that my brother and I can remember our benefactor?"
"My surname is Zhao and my name is Ji, it's nothing but a mere mention by Master En, just a trivial matter."
He waved his hand and Zhao said with great courtesy, "It's the two brothers who have a heroic spirit, making me admire them. By the way, I don't know your names yet."
Zhao Ji's words were not just a courtesy, as a former soldier who had served the country, his heart was filled with positivity, and he generally looked up to truly upright individuals.
"For Lord Guan, it may be a trivial matter, but for us brothers, it is a matter of life and death. How can we take this kindness lightly?"
Very seriously, one of the brothers said with a smile: "My name is Jia Zheng, and this is my younger brother Jia Yi, reborn with a beautiful makeup."
Jia Zheng and Jia Yi were two brothers who did not differ much in age, and their appearance was also similar to about 70 or 80 percent. If it weren't for Jia Zheng's introduction, Zhao would hardly be able to tell the two apart.
"It turned out to be two brothers of the Jia family."
Exchanged a couple of casual words with them, and now we're acquainted.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Ji bid farewell and walked out of the hotel. At that moment, Zhou Anchan, the eldest brother of the Mantis Boxing School, happened to be coming from the opposite direction.
Zhou Anchang led the way, followed by a team of more than 20 people, who marched towards the wine tower in a majestic and powerful manner.
"Huh? Brother Zhao, what brings you here?"
Before arriving at the wine house, he saw Zhao Ji going out. Zhou An's expression floated with a hint of surprise and asked unexpectedly.
"I'm just eating here, but you, why are you rushing over with so many people, looking like you're about to start a fight."
Seeing Zhou An's appearance, Zhao Ji also felt a bit strange and couldn't help but ask.
"I heard someone was having a big fight in this tavern, and it's still going on. I'm afraid innocent people might get hurt, so I rushed over to maintain order."
His expression turned serious, and Zhou Anchang said in a deep voice.
"Ah, Brother Zhao, you just came out of the wine tower, did you know who just made a move inside?"
"It's known that the two parties involved in the fight, are called Gentleman Sword and Iron Claw Poisonous Old Man on the rivers and lakes. The two of them fought quite fiercely, but the battle has already ended."
Zhao Ji briefly mentioned it and emphasized the names of the warring parties.
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Anchan was shocked, his face showed a look of astonishment, and his voice unconsciously rose several degrees, shouting: "How could it be them? These two top-notch experts, how did they end up in a remote place like Qiaomu Town?"
Unlike Zhao Ji who had never heard of the two men's names, Zhou Anchan was quite knowledgeable and had long been familiar with their reputations.
"Alright, you guys go ahead, I'll leave first."
Zhou An bowed his head in respect, and Zhao Ji prepared to leave.
"Wait, Brother Zhao, why don't you come with me to the Mantis Martial Arts Hall later and be my guest?"
Zhao Ji and Zhou An Chang, it can be said that they didn't know each other until they fought, but after that, they formed a pretty good friendship. Plus, Zhao Ji's cultivation progress was extremely fast, which made Zhou An Chang admire him quite a bit, so he was very enthusiastic.
"No need, I still have things to do. Next time when I come to Qiaomu Town, I'll visit the Měng Hǔ Wǔ Guǎn again."
Zhao Ji pushed back and said.
Zhou Anchang invited him twice, seeing Zhao Ji's attitude was firm and didn't want to force him, so he said: "Since brother Zhao has something on hand, I won't force you either. Let's meet again in the future."
"We will meet again."
After bidding farewell to Zhou Anchan, Zhao Ji strode forward and headed out of Qiaomu Town. After leaving the town, he didn't head in the direction of Sifang City or Qiaomu Town, but instead randomly chose a direction.
This time, Zhao Ji prepared to go to the place marked on the treasure map to take a look. Although he realized that there was a conspiracy behind this treasure map incident, his strong curiosity made him want to join in.
The map drawn on the treasure map is very clear, and the marked treasure location is also very obvious. However, Zhao Ji was not very familiar with the terrain of Shen Gui Island, so he couldn't help but compare the terrain with the map, searching for a place one by one, which was quite troublesome.
