This was probably the first time Bai Yanqing felt uncertain. He had many guesses, but he couldn't be sure of any of them.
"Han Yunxi shouldn't have gone to Celestial Mountain at this time," he muttered to himself. "Nor should she have left South Ning. Why? Why? "
As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Yuqiao. "Yu lass, why do you think?"
"Why not go to Medicine City?" Bai Yuqiao continued.
Actually, anyone with half a brain could tell that Han Yunxi had to stabilize the south central regions for Long Feiye's sake and prevent internal strife.
Medical City's blockade of South Ning was the root of the unrest. Although Baili Yuanlong had complete control of the commander-in-chief's estate and claimed to fight Medical City to the end, Han Yunxi and the others weren't stupid enough to court death by going to Medical City! It would be useless even if they went!
They could lead troops to attack Medical City, but that would only anger the entire medical industry, and even Cloud Realm's various powers and commoners.
At that time, Han Yunxi, a descendant of the Poison Sect, would be branded a scourge of the world.
"Master, if they join forces with Medicine City against Medical City, do they have a chance of winning?" Bai Yuqiao asked.
"None." Bai Yanqing was certain. "Medicine and medicine are one family to begin with. His Excellency Pill King might help her, but Medicine City won't give him any face on this matter. Just watch and see. The King Of Medicine can help Han Yunxi now, but he can't help Han Yunxi forever. "
The King Of Medicine's medicine hut couldn't help everyone because most of the patients were ordinary. They didn't need medicine from the hut, only medicine from Medicine City.
Bai Yuqiao didn't understand. "Master, then where will they go?"
Bai Yanqing glanced at her without a word.
Bai Yuqiao felt that although her master was annoying, he wasn't as fierce as before. Thus, she waited for a while and asked timidly, "Master, does Han Yunxi really have a phoenix birthmark? What's that? "
Her master had asked her to interrogate Su Xiaoyu. In fact, she herself did not know what it was.
He didn't know if Bai Yanqing heard him or if he didn't want to answer, or if he didn't hear him, but he didn't answer Bai Yuqiao.
Bai Yuqiao knew his temper, so he didn't dare to continue asking.
Until now, she still couldn't figure out her master's attitude towards Han Yunxi. Did he want her dead or alive?
Thinking of this, Bai Yuqiao could not help but think of his senior brother, Jun Yi Xie.
A few days ago, they'd received news that senior brother and the two imperial princes had gotten into a huge conflict with the Wintercrow Clan. The crown prince had been heavily injured, but Wintercrow's medical skills were far behind. Senior brother had escorted the crown prince back to treat his wounds, but the second imperial prince had refused to leave. He'd vowed to buy a horse no matter what, so he was still at Wintercrow.
Bai Yuqiao knew that this was senior brother's scheme. The crown prince would probably die on the road, while the second imperial prince would be in grave danger as well. She had no idea how senior brother was going to deal with the wrath of the Northern Dynasties Emperors, much less when he'd be able to buy a horse.
Senior brother was working himself to the bone at Wintercrow, while master had done so much behind his back!
"What are you spacing out for? Why aren't you leaving yet? "Bai Yanqing said Coldly.
Bai Yuqiao obediently went to drive the carriage while she asked innocently, "Master, where are we going?"
"Medical City!" Bai Yanqing said Coldly.
Medical City's Apricot Woods Conference would be held in ten days. That event represented the highest level of medical skills in Cloud Realm Continent, so of course he wanted to join in on the fun and broaden his horizons.
Moreover, he was curious as to what other methods Gu Yuntian had to deal with Han Yunxi besides sealing off the south central regions' commander-in-chief's estate.
He'd been planning for years, and everything was already in place.
With the three countries at war, the Long Fei Ye wanted to sit back and reap the benefits while Gu Yuntian wanted to be the oriole stalking the cicada, unaware of the mantis behind. He wanted to steal everything the Long Fei Ye had painstakingly built up!
According to his original plan, as long as Jun Yi Xie's troops arrived and trained them for a month, the three countries would fall into a state of exhaustion. With all three sides injured and lacking in food and medicine, Northern Li's armored cavalry could head south and sweep through the three countries until they reached the south central regions' commander-in-chief's estate.
Of course he knew that the Long Fei Ye had an ace navy in his hands that could threaten Northern Li's eastern borders from the Eastern Sea. But he wouldn't give the Long Fei Ye the chance to do so.
He had a huge secret in his hands that was enough to destroy the Long Fei Ye at a critical moment and cause all of his subordinates to fall apart!
Over the past few days, Gu Yuntian had been doing two things: waiting, and keeping an eye on the situation on Celestial Mountain.
But he never expected such a turn of events. Han Yunxi's identity as the Poison Sect's orphan had been exposed, nor did he expect Ning Cheng to find so many red-robed generals to end the war ahead of time. Even less did he expect the Long Fei Ye to control the Lustbite energy.
His plans had been thoroughly ruined, but fortunately, the situation wasn't terrible at all. In fact, it was even more advantageous for him and Northern Li than before.
Now he only needed to do two things. One was to continue waiting until Medical City sealed off the south central regions' commander-in-chief's estate and Ning Cheng led his troops south. The other was to force Han Yunxi into a dead end.
The closer a person was to a dead end, the more hatred they would have in their heart.
He had instigated the people of Liberty City not to kill Han Yunxi, but to arouse the hatred in her heart. Unfortunately, Gu had shown up before the people of Liberty City could do anything.
Thinking about this, Bai Yanqing slowly narrowed his eyes that were as sharp as an eagle's. "Who … is Gu?"
Bai Yanqing was on his way to Medical City, and Han Yunxi and the others were also on their way to Medical City. It was unknown whether they would run into each other in Medical City.
Han Yunxi and the others rode on horses. After three days and three nights in the deep mountains and forests, they finally saw a town.
"Esteemed wangfei, there'll be more people down the mountain. For safety's sake, let's disguise ourselves," Gu Beiyue said.
Actually, they could've openly gone to Medical City, but Gu Beiyue was low-key and cautious. He didn't want anyone to know his whereabouts in case new problems cropped up.
Gu Beiyue and Long Fei Ye both preferred to keep their facial disfigurements quiet. Once they made a move, it would be a fatal blow to guarantee victory.
The results were the same, but the process was different. Long Fei Ye's process was cruel and ruthless, while Gu Beiyue's was gentle and gentle.
Chu Xifeng had already prepared a large carriage on the side. Han Yunxi was going to disguise herself as a sickly woman to seek medical treatment from Medical City.
Han Yunxi was about to get on the carriage when Gu stopped her. He rubbed his chin and studied Gu Beiyue. "Doctor, as this young master sees it, you should be the patient. You don't need to pretend to be one to look like one."
Gu Beiyue laughed at himself, while Han Yunxi's face darkened. She elbowed Gu hard in the chest.
"Aiya, I'm hurt!" Gu clutched his chest exaggeratedly as he pressed Han Yunxi's shoulders. If she didn't help him up, he'd topple over. "Poison lass, don't pretend anymore. I'll do it. You'll be my wife and stay by my side, serving me at all times. Gu Beiyue's still a doctor. If he can't cure me, he'll come with us to Medical City to seek treatment! "
Gu Beiyue was still smiling. Before Han Yunxi could speak, Chu Xifeng slapped Gu's hand away. "Gu, if you keep being rude, don't blame us for being rude!"
Gu Qishao replied with two words. "Boring!"
"Xiao Qi …" Han Yunxi suddenly smiled, her voice very gentle.
Gu had a bad premonition. He grew serious and said, "Do as you've done before. Don't waste time, hurry on the road is more important."
Before, Han Yunxi would be the patient, Gu Beiyue her older brother, and Gu her retainer.
"Xiao Qi, you're so pretty that you'll attract too much attention as a retainer. I think you're more suited …"
"I'm suited to be your older brother, right?" Gu smiled beautifully. "Poison lass, you're as pretty as me."
Han Yunxi was indeed very beautiful, especially when she smiled. That kind of temperament was something she was born with, something that couldn't be nurtured no matter how much effort was put into nurturing it. No matter how good her makeup was, it couldn't bring out her aura.
Her smile was even prettier than Gu's. "No, you're suited to be a Shadow Guard. Don't show your face! "
Gu Beiyue laughed out loud, while Chu Xifeng didn't know what to say. Could he tell esteemed wangfei that the Shadow Guard Squad didn't want Gu?
At this moment, Xu Donglin popped out from the side. "Gu, you don't have to travel with us."
Although Xu Donglin's life had been saved by Gu, he was resolutely loyal to His Highness Duke of Qin and would never betray him.
What did loyalty mean? It meant protecting His Highness Duke of Qin and esteemed wangfei with his life. Their love was stronger than gold!
Gu narrowed his eyes at Xu Donglin, but before he could speak, Xu Donglin said, "Don't say anything. If you want my life, I'll give it back to you."
It was rare for Gu to be the target of everyone's attacks. He was about to strike back when the messenger eagle arrived.
Everyone immediately grew serious. The envelope was very special, unlike the usual all-white and all-blue envelopes. It seemed to have been custom-made in a light purple color with plum branches and fallen flowers drawn on it.
Han Yunxi held it in her hands and recognized Long Fei Ye's signature at a glance. Both surprised and delighted, she quickly opened the envelope and saw that even the paper was a faint purple with plum blossoms flying about.
Gu Beiyue and Gu had a rare moment of tacit understanding as they both stared at the letter in silence.
Gu Beiyue had always been a quiet man, but only Long Fei Ye could make Gu quiet down in front of Han Yunxi.
"Esteemed wangfei, His Highness wrote to you in a special envelope?" Chu Xifeng broke the silence on purpose.
Han Yunxi didn't notice his words, because her thoughts were all on the letter. She stared at it for awhile before looking up at the crowd in confusion. "Why is it empty?"
That's right, Long Fei Ye's reply was empty.
What did he mean?
She'd written to say she missed him and called him an idiot, but he'd written an empty letter back? What did he want to tell her?
Han Yunxi really didn't understand, but the crowd was too embarrassed to give her an answer.
This was a little game between husband and wife, Long Fei Ye's way of teasing his wife. What right did outsiders have to explain?
Even Gu Qishao fell silent.
Han Yunxi quickly sensed that something was wrong and her face flushed red. She'd blurted it out because she was too curious. For a moment, she didn't even think that Long Fei Ye was playing tricks on her!
"I, I'll go change my clothes!"
She hid the letter in her sleeve and awkwardly ducked into the carriage. Once inside, she wasn't in the mood to change, but took out the letter and carefully examined it …
