Captain Wu said solemnly, "If their Western Jin cavalry were here, we wouldn't be afraid, but they are too far away to help us in our immediate situation."

The sky was a hazy gray.

Two figures darted through the city of Wangfeng, quickly searching for the location of the military camp.

"A-Yue, take these powders and put them in the cooking pot in the military camp kitchen. I'll put some in the wine cellar." Ji Jiuying said softly, looking down at him. The two were quite close, and her breath warmed Gong Mingyue's neck as she spoke, making it feel hot and itchy.

Gong Mingyue's dark eyes deepened as he looked down at Ji Jiuying, who was looking serious, and whispered a response in her ear.

Ji Jiuying paused slightly, then poked his chest with her finger. "Hurry up, are you stupid?"

Okay~

Gong Mingyue left quickly, afraid that if he didn't leave soon, he would lose control of himself. Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow as she watched him flee in panic.

Ji Jiuying quickly found the wine cellar, sprinkled the medicinal powder into the wine bottle with her spiritual power, and was about to leave when a faint sound of footsteps alerted her.

The approaching person's footsteps quickened and drew closer, and Ji Jiuying swiftly slipped into the space.

Squeak—

The cellar door was pushed open from the outside, and a figure in a white robe appeared in the doorway. His sharp, eagle-like eyes scanned the surroundings, finally stopping in front of a wall, where he stared intently, took a deep breath—yes, this was it…

Ji Jiuying, inside the space, stared wide-eyed. The man outside seemed to be face-to-face with her, his sharp eyes piercing through her, sending a chill down her spine.
