Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Chapter 156 The Ugly Medicine Bag

Hongnan pointed to the alley next to them, "Your Highness, Miss Yang, this is the maze!"

Yang Jianwu gestured for everyone to wait there, and went forward alone to check. The maze had been destroyed by Hong Nan and Hong Bei, and the alley had returned to its original appearance, narrow and long. There were green plants extending from the inner courtyard on the top of the wall, and both ends were bright. There were some pebbles scattered on the ground, which should also have been damaged when the maze was broken!

After Yang Jianwu finished her investigation and rejoined the others, Mo Ye asked, "How was it? Did you find anything?"

"It's a simple formation, probably used to shake off our pursuers! I don't know if there are any formations inside the house. Should we split up or search together? Brother Ye, you decide!"

Searching for someone in an unfamiliar place is obviously faster by separating them, but the risk factor is also much higher, especially in houses with unknown danger levels caused by formations. There may be a deadly trap at any corner.

"Whether it's a poisonous insect or a magical formation, besides you, probably none of us can escape alone. Leave two people to guard outside, and the rest of us will work together and look after each other!"

Puyang Xuan looked around. "Who should we keep?"

Yang Jianwu gestured with her chin toward Hongnan and Hongbei, "Just the two of them!"

Hongbei protested, "Why?"

Hongnan also pleaded, "Your Highness, please allow the two of us to investigate! We..."

The two were still resentful about losing track of Nangong Yan because they were trapped in the town, and now they naturally wanted to make amends. Yang Jianwu flicked a pill into Hong Nan's mouth. The pill melted instantly in his mouth, with a sweet and slightly cool taste.

"Ahem! Miss Yang, what did you give me to eat?"

"This is to refresh you! I can flick the pills as fast as Hong Niang Hua, you can't dodge them! The mysterious person next to Nangong Yan has who knows how many Gu worms he has. You stay here and guard the place, act according to the signal. If you haven't received the signal in half an hour, go to Hua Shui Yue Fang and have Liang Yan take people to demolish this place!"

"Forced demolition?"

“Yes! Force demolition! Your prince and young master Puyang are among the best in the martial arts world. If a real fight breaks out, the two of them can handle it. Xiao Jin and I will be responsible for defending against the Gu worms and the formation. If there are more people, I also have medicine to help. If we encounter a strong formation that we can't break and it traps us, breaking it apart from the outside is the simplest way to break the formation!”

After hearing Yang Jianwu's explanation, Hongnan and Hongbei realized the importance of their mission. "Yes, Miss Yang, please give your orders!"

"Let's go!"

Puyang Xuan walked straight to the front, saying, "I'll lead the way. Prince Ning, please cover the rear. Jianwu, you'll be in the middle!"

Born into the royal family, Mo Ye was usually at the forefront in terms of status and position; it was not his style to be relegated to the back.

"I'll go first, you cover the rear!"

"Do you think I'm trying to take credit from you? You are Prince Ning. If nothing happens on this trip, fine; but if you get injured, and your uncle knows that Jianwu was with you at the time, he will definitely blame her for not protecting you properly!"

"Xiao Wu'er is not my guard, and she is not responsible for my safety!"

"But General Yang wouldn't think that way!"

Mo Ye didn't want to put Xiao Wu'er in a difficult position, so he stopped arguing and walked at the back.

Yang Jianwu was slightly touched. Ah Xuan was thinking of her, probably influenced by the impression of their meal together last time! Actually, there was no need for this. Her father's loyalty did not mean blind loyalty. Pursuit and investigation were inherently risky. How could she let others be implicated if she got hurt? She thanked Ah Xuan in her heart, but did not show it on her face.

"Hurry up, or they'll escape!"

The three of them proceeded in a line, with Puyang Xuan carefully leading the way. As an assassin, anticipating potential dangers was an essential skill. They silently dealt with a few patrolling soldiers and arrived at an unguarded courtyard.

Xiao Jin suddenly stood up and hissed to warn everyone. Mo Ye and Pu Yangxuan couldn't understand what Xiao Jin meant, but Yang Jianwu did. She immediately pulled Pu Yangxuan behind her, took out two medicine packets she had prepared in advance from her space, and stuffed them into the hands of the two men.

"There are Gu worms nearby, be careful!"

Puyang Xuan looked at the crookedly sewn medicine packet in his hand with a look of disgust. "Who made this medicine packet? The needlework is terrible! Look at how ugly the thread is, it's not even as good as mine! I bet any random little girl could make one that looks better!"

Mo Ye had heard Yang Jianwu say that she didn't know needlework, so he guessed that Jianwu had made it. In order not to annoy anyone, he obediently put away the medicine packet without saying anything.

Puyang Xuan, oblivious to Yang Jianwu's exasperated expression, continued to ask, "Jianwu, why didn't you give us any outside? Wouldn't it have been better to take precautions beforehand?"

Yang Jianwu really didn't want to talk to him, and even the little bit of emotion she felt outside the house was gone!

"Sword dance?"

No one answered...

"Sword dance?"

He still turned his back and ignored her...

Mo Ye couldn't stand it any longer. He tugged at Pu Yangxuan's sleeve, pointed to the medicine packet in Pu Yangxuan's hand, and then glanced at Yang Jianwu.

Puyang Xuan immediately understood. "Oh, so this medicine packet was made by Jianwu!" He then bit his fist in frustration, wishing he could slap himself. What had he just said? "Bad needlework?!" "Ugly thread?!" No wonder Jianwu ignored him; no one would be happy to be judged like that…

"Sword Dance... I was wrong..."
