Chapter 137 Has he been here several times before?
It was the first time he heard of such a sacred object from Southern Xinjiang.
It can cure all kinds of poisons and diseases. It is definitely the most precious treasure in the world.
If he could find this secret treasure, not only would it be used to treat Lin Rouyu, it would definitely be of other use in the future.
Elder Qi nodded. "The Nanjiang tribe has been very mysterious since ancient times. I heard that they are good at using poisons and cultivating various medicinal herbs. Nanjiang is the tribe with the most medicinal herbs in our entire continent. Legend has it that there is a sacred object in Nanjiang that can detoxify and cure all kinds of diseases. It is not only regarded as a supreme treasure by the people of Nanjiang, but also coveted by everyone outside of Nanjiang.
However, the poison in Southern Xinjiang is extremely powerful. Many people have gone to snatch the sacred object from Southern Xinjiang, but have never returned. Over time, this sacred object has become the most mysterious and supreme treasure in the hearts of outsiders. However, because of the powerful poison in Southern Xinjiang, no one dares to snatch it anymore.
Xu Rui's eyes lit up instantly.
After going out, he directly ordered the black-robed man beside him to send people to look for the sacred object in southern Xinjiang.

Jingyu Garden.
After Jiang Xiyu finished her meal, she was afraid that Xu Rui would come in again, so she asked Qing'er to go back to bed early and locked the door.
She was afraid to sleep, fearing that Xu Rui would do something while she was asleep, but she forced herself to stay awake, and soon she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
When Xu Rui came back, it was already midnight and he saw Deji waiting outside.
"Master Hou."
"Well, go back, I'll just stay here and watch."
"Yes."
After Deji left, Xu Rui went forward and pushed the door, only to find it was locked.
Xu Rui's eyes were full of disappointment, knowing that she was on guard against him.
Originally, he planned to go to the main courtyard to rest as he did before, but when he thought about going to war tomorrow and not knowing when they would meet again, Xu Rui gently pried open the lock inside and tiptoed into the house.
When he opened the gauze curtain, he saw that Jiang Xiyu had fallen asleep. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Xu Rui's heart softened like a pool of water.
Thinking of his plan, he gently rolled up Jiang Xiyu's sleeves and saw the bright red toad blood on her arm. The bright red seemed to emit a bright luster under the faint moonlight, so beautiful that it made people's hearts flutter.
Xu Rui stretched out his hand and gently stroked her uterus with affection.
In the past, he had always been arrogant and never felt that he had done anything wrong, but now he felt that he had done something very wrong.
That is, I have ignored her all along.
They are husband and wife. No matter why he married her, he should not ignore Jiang Xiyu.
Now he has figured it out. He doesn't want to reconcile with Jiang Xiyu or divorce his wife, so he has to be nicer to Jiang Xiyu now.
He used to be too confident. After knowing that Jiang Xiyu liked him, he thought that she would always wait for him there. As long as he looked back, Jiang Xiyu would be there. However, he didn't expect that because of his indifference, Jiang Xiyu didn't seem to like him as much as before.
There was even a man who was staring at her hungrily.
Thinking of Gulin's dirty thoughts towards her, Xu Rui became even more jealous and sour that she wanted to kill Gulin right now.
He must not let Gulin succeed, especially now when she still knows nothing, he must nip Gulin's dirty thoughts in the bud.
Thinking of this, Xu Rui took out the potion given to him by Old Qi, took a drop, and carefully dripped it onto the bright red on her arm.
Soon, the potion took effect, and the bright red dot became lighter and lighter under the effect of the potion until it disappeared.
That section of the arm instantly became smooth and flawless, so dazzlingly beautiful.
For some reason, when Xu Rui saw her toad blood disappear, he felt an inexplicable sense of happiness and satisfaction, as if he and she had consummated their marriage.
Carefully putting her sleeves down, Xu Rui stared at her sleeping little face in a daze.
Her eyebrows are as curved as willow leaves, her nose is as round as a jade bead, and her lips are as delicate as cherry blossoms...
Xu Rui's eyes fell on her delicate lips, and suddenly an evil thought came to his mind. Xu Rui slowly approached the softness he longed for.
Just when Xu Rui was about to complete what he had been dreaming of, Jiang Xiyu, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly seemed to sense something and opened her eyes abruptly.
A handsome face that was very close to her enlarged in front of Jiang Xiyu, frightening her so much that she screamed and picked up the dagger under her pillow and was about to stab Xu Rui.
"What's wrong?" Deji, who had not walked far, heard Jiang Xiyu's scream and rushed into the room. He saw the lady holding a dagger and trying to stab Xu Rui, while Xu Rui was holding Jiang Xiyu's hand.
Deji was confused and didn't know what was going on.
They were just trying to find something new and fun.
"Get out." Xu Rui turned around and shouted at Deji.
Deji no longer dared to make random guesses, nor did he dare to take another step forward, and immediately left the room.
At this moment, Jiang Xiyu finally saw Xu Rui's face clearly and breathed a sigh of relief. She angrily said, "Xu Rui, why are you here? What do you want to do so late at night?"
After saying that, she stood up and pulled the quilt beside her, hugging herself tightly, staring at Xu Rui with vigilance, afraid that he would do something else.
Xu Rui saw the defensiveness in her eyes and felt a little pain in his heart, but when he thought of what she had just said, his eyes narrowed frivolously and he grabbed her wrist tightly, "Who do you think you are?"
Jiang Xiyu tried to shake it off, but couldn't. There was a guilty look in her eyes, and her eyes moved nervously from side to side.
Xu Rui said with a gloomy face, "Does someone often come to see you in the middle of the night?"
Jiang Xiyu didn't expect Xu Rui to ask such a question. She felt even more nervous, but she still didn't say anything.
There are some things she can't say.
If she told Xu Rui everything, given his stubborn nature, her life would be even more miserable than her previous one.
Seeing that she seemed frightened, Xu Rui unconsciously lowered his voice and coaxed, "Who was that man in black that night? Do you know him?"
Jiang Xiyu looked at Xu Rui in astonishment, "Did a man in black come that night when you chased him out?"
Was she right?
Is that the man in the mask?
"Is he wearing a silver mask? Did you catch him?" Jiang Xiyu asked nervously without waiting for Xu Rui to answer.
Hearing that Gulin was wearing a silver mask, Xu Rui narrowed his eyes suddenly.
"No, he ran away."
Jiang Xiyu didn't dare to show any expression on her face, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Xu Rui stared at Jiang Xiyu and said in a cold voice, "Has he been here several times before?"
Now that things have come to this, if she doesn't tell anyone, Xu Rui will definitely find out with his intelligence. Jiang Xiyu can no longer hide it, but she doesn't dare to say anything. She kept it to herself and answered, "He's been here twice. I was afraid he would come again, so I hid a dagger under my pillow. Just now, I thought you were him."
