Chapter 173 Arrived in Fanzhou

The Xie family members escaped all the natural disasters, but half of them died at the hands of their own people.

Lu Wanyin watched coldly, but never intervened once.

The closer they got to Fanzhou, the more uneasy Hou Yuanji felt.

The poison that was sent to Yaowang Valley for research has not received any reply.

Hou Yuanji was so anxious that he disliked everyone.

What made him even more upset was...

Lu Wanyin, who had been dragging her feet all the way, traveled almost day and night to Fanzhou this time without any delay.

The situation between the second and third branches of the Xie family was getting worse and worse.

With Xie Jingci's tacit consent, the people in the third house "accidentally" learned that Xie Zhicheng's death was almost caused by Xie Antai, and they completely exploded.

There are many people in the third house, but many people also die.

It has only been a short time, and the only men in the third room who can take charge are Xie Deyi and Xie Zhili.

Even worse off was Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao's face was covered in blood and dirt, and soon began to become infected and festered.

There is no way to recover now.

It was barely acceptable during the day, but at night, Aunt Zhao's face looked like a ghost in the moonlight.

Everyone stayed away from her, and Xie Deyi, who couldn't escape, was so scared that he peed his pants twice.

She has lost both of her children and is now rejected by Xie Deyi. There is no place for her in the Xie family anymore.

Within a few days, Aunt Zhao was kicked out of the Xie family's group and mixed with other refugees.

The second wife's hatred for the third wife is growing day by day.

There are only two men left in the second house who can take charge.

Xie Ronghui got a big scar on his face after being pushed.

Qin hated the third wife to the core.

Whenever they had the chance, she and Aunt Qian would mock the third wife.

This side calls the other side a beast in human clothing, while the other side calls this side a murderer.

In the end, it was the eldest wife, who was targeted by the second and third wives from the beginning, who stood by and watched coldly.

Xie Yuyan and Xie Ziqian both became smarter.

They spent half of their time paying attention to Lu Wanyin, and the rest of the time thinking about how to protect themselves.

Finally, the day before entering Fanzhou, Lu Wanyin received a reply from Yaowang Valley.

Song Jiuning asked the King of Medicine to study together, and they developed the antidote in the shortest time possible and also improved the medicinal properties.

If you miss the time to take the antidote, you won't die, but your life will be worse than death.

Lu Wanyin called Hou Yuanji over and when she told him this, Hou Yuanji burst into tears.

"None of this matters. I just want to take my medicine."

He paused and suggested carefully, "Can I have an extra one? Let's take Wu Fan with us too. This guy is actually quite loyal. We've been through this together thanks to him."

Lu Wanyin was surprised: "It depends on whether he is willing or not."

When Hou Yuanji saw that there was a chance, he hurried to find Wu Fan.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Seeing his overjoyed look, Wu Fan thought he was excited because Fanzhou was right in front of him.

But Hou Yuanji wanted to drag him into taking poison as soon as he opened his mouth.

No, sir, you got hit on the road and got confused.

Hou Yuanji took a deep breath and said, "Wu Fan, I have seen that you have worked very hard along the way, so I am kindly reminding you that if you want to stay alive, you must take the medicine and work for the general and his wife."

He didn't want to say more.

Wu Fan took a breath of cold air.

He was not stupid, and he immediately understood what this meant. He bowed quickly and said, "Thank you for your advice, Lord Hou. Please come in."

Seeing the two people coming one after another, Lu Wanyin was not surprised at all.

Who can refuse the chance to live?

Finally, after taking the medicine, Hou Yuanji finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart all the way.

He couldn't stop smiling.

Suddenly I felt like I was hugging someone's thigh. What's going on?

My back is straight when I walk.

Fanzhou is indeed a big city that connects the nine provinces.

With more than a day's journey to Fanzhou, the team had already reached the official road.

After being used to walking on difficult mountain roads, it feels indescribably easy to step onto flat ground.

When we arrived at the gate of Fanzhou, there was a long queue of people entering the city.

Lu Wanyin glanced at the team that was at least two hundred meters away, and her eyebrows couldn't help but frown.

As "dead" people, it is really inconvenient for them to come forward.

She was just about to ask whether Xie Jingci, who had countless subordinates, had arranged anyone to pick him up in Fanzhou.

Hou Yuanji, who had just surrendered and was anxious about the opportunity to show his abilities, came over with a flattering smile and said, "Leave this little thing to me. Leave it all to me."

Hou Yuanji trotted and went to the city gate himself.

He was servile in front of Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci, but was much more arrogant in front of the city guards.

He directly handed over his badge: "Hou family is doing business, let him pass."

The city guards didn't dare to say a word and just let the man go.

The Hou family is a big shot in front of the emperor in the capital, and they can't afford to offend them.

Besides, Fanzhou was peaceful and there were no thieves. There was no order from above to strictly check the people entering and leaving the country.

There is no difference between one person and a team of people.

Hou Yuanji entered the city with a large group of exiled prisoners.

Lu Wanyin originally planned to get rid of these people after leaving the village far enough away and hide with Xie Jingci and others.

When I thought about the things I had planned earlier, I decided to go to Fanzhou first.

The streets of Fanzhou were extremely bustling, almost as busy as the imperial city.

When they stood on the street, they were extremely eye-catching.

With so many people watching, Hou Yuanji couldn't act too obviously.

He stood beside Lu Wanyin and asked softly: "Can you please arrange accommodation for us first?"

Lu Wanyin subconsciously glanced at Xie Jingci.

Seeing that he was also looking at her, she quickly looked away: "You, you can just tell the general about this. I have things to do. I will come to you after I finish my work."

After saying this, he walked away without waiting for anyone to answer.

They had clearly eaten and lived together all the way, but when she heard about the accommodation arrangements, she found it difficult to look Xie Jingci in the eye.

Lu Wanyin's mind was full of random thoughts, and she walked faster and faster. No matter how she thought about it, she felt something was wrong.

They don't need that little money, so why can't they book an extra room?

No, no, no, they had always slept together before. Now she suddenly showed resistance, wouldn't it attract more attention?

Lu Wanyin couldn't help but sigh: "No, no, no way."

The vendor who stopped in front of her looked at the things on his stall and said: "Girl, we are just trying to make a little money to eat. Even if the food is not good, there is no need to keep emphasizing it."

Lu Wanyin came back to her senses and found that she was standing in front of a jewelry stall.

She picked one up at random, touched a silver ingot and placed it on the stall: "Hey, young man, where is the 'Mu Ji Pig Farm'?"

It was not until this moment that Lu Wanyin remembered that Mu Linyuan had disappeared quietly.

She had been feeling very upset those days because of Xie Jingci's matter, and it was surprising that she only discovered it after such a long time.

The depressed vendor's eyes lit up.

This ingot of silver can easily buy his stall.
