"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem, sir, your ears are really very sensitive! You are right, I am not from this place.

I just happened to pass by here and won't stay here for too long.

When I got here, I found so many soldiers on duty, so I wanted to find out what was going on first.

But now that entry into the town is so strict, from what I hear, it still has something to do with whether you are an outsider or not. What does this have to do with me not being a local?"

Chen Yi, standing by the roadside, finally heard the hidden meaning in the old man's words, and asked directly. Not to mention that he really asked the key to the problem in one go.

When the old man heard Chen Yi's question, his body shook slightly, but he soon stabilized.

He said to Chen Yi in a serious tone:

"Hey young man! I don't think you're a bad person. If you don't have anything to do, it's best not to go into the town.

In fact, I am not very clear about the specific things, I just heard about the county magistrate Pei here.

Something very important was lost last night, so everyone entering and leaving today must be carefully checked.

And the things he lost seemed to be related to people from outside, but I don’t know what they lost specifically.”

The old man lowered his voice as much as possible to reduce his presence.

He probably didn't want others to know that he was gossiping about this matter. After all, the county magistrate was not someone anyone could mess with.

Chen Yi laughed when he heard this. He thought it was no big deal.

They were old acquaintances. How could this be difficult for them? Chen Yi nodded slightly at the old man to express his gratitude.

"Uncle, don't worry! I didn't hear anything today and you didn't say anything."

Chen Yi's polite demeanor reassured the old man. After all, few people dared to discuss the county magistrate's gossip.

Chen Yi then returned to the carriage, and the others also came back one after another.

After discussing it, it turned out that everyone had only heard one thing: the county magistrate had lost something, but no one knew what it was.

Chen Yi came to the carriage and lifted the curtain. Yuan Xichen was still lying quietly inside, and Yuan Yi used silver needles to force the poison out of him.

I hope to force the toxin out, but the toxin is too strong and it has no effect.

But if there are good medicinal herbs, it is probably possible to force the poison to one place, which can at least increase the chance of Yuan Xichen waking up.

Yuan Xichen has become much thinner now, and his originally handsome face looks a little haggard, and he is still wearing silk and satin.

With just his hair simply tied up, he looks like a typical "Sleeping Beauty".

"Yuan Yi, how is the master? Is he feeling better?"

As soon as Chen Yi entered, he asked about Yuan Xichen's condition. They all hoped that he could wake up soon.

Otherwise, if the news of his coma leaks out later, it will probably be even more dangerous.

Yuan Yigang fed Yuan Xichen a pill that could increase his body functions.

He put the porcelain bottle containing the medicine in the compartment of the carriage.

Turning around and looking at Chen Yi, he sighed helplessly: “Master’s condition, I am only trying to stabilize it. If you really want to detoxify me, I have no way to do it for the time being.

At present, we can only use better medicine to temporarily stabilize the toxin and prevent it from spreading too quickly.

How did you get the news? What's the situation now? Can you go into town? I can go to the pharmacy to see if there are any good herbs."

Yuan Yi briefly explained to Chen Yi that Yuan Xichen’s current situation was not optimistic.

Chen Yi pursed his lips and said, "It seems that we can't delay too much time. The longer we delay, the more time will pass.

The worse it is for the master's condition. I just made some inquiries and wanted to ask you.

Now people in the town say that the county magistrate lost something, but no one knows what it is.

That's why they're investigating everywhere with such fanfare, but I heard that this thing is related to outsiders, I don't know anything more.

"I just want to ask you, do you think we should go in directly or take a detour?" After Chen Yi finished speaking, he glanced at Yuan Xichen, and the worry in his heart was already reflected on his face.

No one can compare to the kindness of my master to me. Although they are his subordinates, my master treats them as brothers in private.

They all hoped that he would get better soon. He also wanted to catch the person who hurt him as soon as possible and cut him into pieces to relieve his hatred.

Yuan Yi frowned and said, "So, according to you, the town is conducting such strict inspections because someone lost something. But no one knows what it was, right?"

And judging from the situation, it doesn't seem like a very cheap thing. It must be quite important to the county magistrate.

Let’s go in directly. I’m going to go to the pharmacy to look for some herbs.”

Yuan Yi sat aside and lifted the quilt covering Yuan Xichen. It seemed that he was overheated.

Chen Yi moved to the side, trying to allow more air to circulate inside the carriage.

"Okay then! Let's go into town right away. This matter cannot be delayed."

Chen Yi returned to the outside of the carriage and began to ask those people to pack up and set off immediately.

"Boss, are we going to go in now? Or do we need to wait and see what the situation is?

I see there are a lot of guards at the town gate right now, and I don’t know what they are doing.”

An Wu rode a handsome black horse from a short distance away and slowly approached Yuan Xichen's carriage. He asked Chen Yi uncertainly what to do.

Chen Yi gently touched the sword on his body, and with his other hand, he tightly held the reins of the horse.

After a moment's silence, he turned sideways and looked at An Wu and nodded slightly.

"Yes! Go gather everyone right away, pack up, and set off immediately." Chen Yi shook the reins in his hand vigorously, and the horse, feeling the pain, began to run forward quickly.

An Wu rode the horse and galloped all the way to the back of the team.

"Everyone, hurry up and get into town. Don't dawdle." After shouting, Anwu turned his horse's head and galloped forward.

Chen Yi and his group were particularly eye-catching. With so many people and so many carriages, it was hard not to attract attention.

"Oh! Is this an escort agency? With so many people escorting it, and so many things, they are really rich."

When the people in the crowd saw the team of carriages behind Chen Yi, they all became jealous. In those days, those who had no way to make a living had to flee from famine.

"Yes! Yes! I don't know where they came from, but they actually dared to go in directly. It seems they are not simple."

A middle-aged woman holding a boy spoke sourly beside her.

Chen Yi and others ignored the gossip of those people.
