Mo Rongzhan set off from Xiazhou as fast as he could. In order to save time, he chose to pass through Anhe City to Jizhou. With his understanding of Lu Lingzhi, he would not go to the Jin Kingdom, nor would he stay in Xiliang. Only the Qi Kingdom was his best choice. If he took Ye Zhen to the Qi Kingdom, whether it was Ye Yiqing or him, it would be difficult to go to the Qi Kingdom to find Ye Zhen.
"Master, look, why are there no men on the streets of Anhe City? They are all women." Eunuch Fu followed behind Mo Rongzhan and glanced at the street. He felt that Anhe City was really strange.
As Hai Gang led his troops away from Anhe City, the security of the whole city was not as strict as before. It took Mo Rongzhan little time to change his appearance and enter the city. After entering the city, Mo Rongzhan remembered that Qi Ruoshui was here, so he slowed down. He wanted to catch this woman first.
Wu Chong whispered, "All the men have been conscripted into the barracks. The men in other places can escape, but the men in Anhe City can't leave even if they want to."
"What about Qi Ruoshui?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
"Master, Qi Ruoshui lived in the barracks before and only returned to the city yesterday. It looks like she is going out. This subordinate has sent someone to watch her in the dark." Wu Chong said.
"There are still four hours before the city gate closes. You stay with a few people and catch Qi Ruoshui before the city gate closes." Mo Rongzhan's voice was cold. His face was disguised, but his eagle-like eyes could not hide the sharpness and coldness in them.
"Yes, Master." Wu Chong responded in a low voice. There were many guards around Qi Ruoshui, but the two with the best martial arts were not there. It was not difficult to catch her. It was only because she had been in the barracks that they could not do it.
Mo Rongzhan asked Wu Chong to stay and catch up with them after catching Qi Ruoshui. He continued to hurry with the others. Time was pressing. He must catch up with Lu Lingzhi before he arrived in Jizhou.
Wu Chong led the other secret guards to lurk around Qi Ruoshui's residence. This place was relatively quiet and there were very few pedestrians, which made it more convenient for them to carry out their tasks. Before Qi Ruoshui returned, he had already unknowingly disposed of the guards in the residence.
Qi Ruoshui had not received any news from John Doe and suspected that he had been killed by Lu Lingzhi. She was in a bad mood and immediately ordered her servants to pack up. She could not catch Lu Yaoyao and it would be very difficult to lure Mo Rongzhan out. She had to go to the wilderness to find Wan Ziliang and there was no time to wait.
She was so angry that she didn't notice anything strange about the servants in the room. She sat down and was about to drink some tea when she suddenly found that the taste of the tea was a little different. Her expression changed and she suddenly looked at the servant girl beside her. Only then did she realize that the servant girl who usually served her seemed to have grown a lot taller, and even her facial features were a little different.
"Who are you?" Qi Ruoshui asked vigilantly.
Wu Chong didn't give her too much time to speak and just said faintly, "Shaman King, our master has asked for you."
Qi Ruoshui's fingers moved slightly and Wu Chong had already struck out with his palm. He took a few steps back and watched Qi Ruoshui go limp on the ground. Only then did he realize that there was a small worm wriggling on her fingertip.
Fortunately, the Emperor had reminded him, otherwise he would have been poisoned by this woman's worm.
"Sir Wu, I caught a person who just came in with Qi Ruoshui." The secret guard outside came in with Chu Li in his hand.
"Be careful, don't come near!" Wu Chong said and glanced at Chu Li. "Take him with you."
Wu Chong took the chopsticks next to him and killed the worm. In order not to touch Qi Ruoshui, he took the quilt from the bed and wrapped it around her. He tied it tightly and carried her on his shoulder. "Let's go!"
…
…
The moon was high in the sky and only the sound of insects could be heard in the mountains. Ye Zhen was not sleepy at all. She nodded gently to Hong Ying and went outside to see if those people had fallen asleep.
"They're all asleep." Hong Ying returned. "Lady, this servant will go and sprinkle the powder into the fire."
"Be careful." Ye Zhen reminded her.
Hong Ying nodded gently, holding the bottle tightly in her hand. Lu Lingzhi and the others were injured and needed to apply medicine, so they fell asleep. However, there was still one person who was not injured.
Guan Jie's martial arts seemed to be not weak, so they had to be wary of him.
Hong Ying walked to the fire and looked around. Seeing that no one noticed her, she opened the bottle and quickly sprinkled the powder in the bottle on the fire. Although she had taken the antidote, she still did not dare to breathe too hard. She was almost holding her breath.
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, someone behind her spoke.
Hong Ying was startled and the bottle in her hand fell into the fire. She turned around and stared at the person who spoke, only to find that it was Guan Jie. He was rubbing his eyes and his nose twitched a few times. Apparently, he had smelled something.
"Our Lady can't smell this firewood and can't sleep at all, so I added a little spice." Hong Ying said calmly. "Don't you smell the fragrance?"
Guan Jie sniffed a few times. "No."
Hong Ying smiled. "You're standing so far away, so naturally you can't smell it."
"I still can't smell it." Guan Jie came over, leaned close to the fire and sniffed a few times. Apart from the smell of firewood, he still couldn't smell anything.
"Is your nose not working?" Hong Ying asked with a smile. This powder was colorless and odorless. It would be strange if he could smell it.
"What is this?" Guan Jie pointed to the bottle in the fire and smelled it. The bottle had been burned a little black.
Hong Ying glanced nervously at the cave and looked at Lu Lingzhi, who was sleeping. She smiled reluctantly. "How would I know?"
Guan Jie reached out and took the bottle out, put it under his nose and sniffed it. "You didn't put spices in it. There's no fragrance at all. What are you doing?"
How could this little boy still be so energetic? Was the Lady's medicine useless to him?
"I'm going to tell my brother!" Guan Jie glanced at Hong Ying and took the bottle to find Lu Lingzhi.
Hong Ying was shocked and reached out to grab his shoulder. "Stop."
Guan Jie turned around and wanted to push Hong Ying away. Suddenly, his vision went black and he took a few steps back. "This is poison!"
"This isn't poison. It won't take your life." Hong Ying let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the medicine had taken effect in time.
"Brother …" Guan Jie wanted to call out to Lu Lingzhi, but before he could, he had already fallen straight to the ground.
Hong Ying carefully kicked him and went to check on the others. Only when she found that everyone was sleeping like pigs did she return to the cave. "Lady, we can go now."
