"Yes, I am under the command of Protector Xuanwu." The man in black said anxiously, "Madam Luo, please save the Lord and Protector Qing. They have been trapped in Chuyun Valley for more than ten days. Protector Xuan led the people of Honglou to rush in several times to try to save them, but they failed and suffered countless casualties."
"We are truly at our wits' end, which is why Protector Xuan sent me to you to beg you to save the Lord and the others."
Cloud Valley? Luo Xi had never heard of such a place before: "What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."
With such high martial arts skills as Jiu Xian, it's remarkable that he was trapped and able to withstand the onslaught of numerous assassins from the Red Mansion. This is something that ordinary people cannot do.
"Yes, Madam Luo." The man in black breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Madam Luo wouldn't care about the brothel owner, after all, Madam Luo and their Red Mansion really didn't have any connection.
Although the poster secretly did many things for Luo Niangzi.
At this moment, the white tiger that had been following Luo Xi jumped out.
“You can leave now, I’ll explain,” he said to the man in black.
Rosie: "..."
"You know?" she asked.
Since Baihu knew this, why did he remain silent? Could he really be thinking of becoming the master of the tower after Jiuxian dies?
With Luo Xi's eyes so clear, how could Bai Hu not understand? "Lady Luo, am I that kind of person?"
"At first, I thought that with so many assassins in our Red Pavilion, wiping out his Chuyun Valley would be a piece of cake. Who knew that Xuanwu would be so useless?"
"Alright, enough nonsense, get to the point." Luo Xi's tone was a little impatient.
"...Yes!" Baihu stopped complaining. "Speaking of this Master of Chuyun Valley, Lady Luo is actually familiar with him. He's the poison doctor who provided the muscle-relaxing powder when you were ambushed last time, Nan Wushang!"
"It was him!" Luo Xi laughed in anger.
"That's great. I haven't even settled the score with him from last time, and he's already causing us trouble again. He's really something."
Rosie has always been a vengeful person.
If she hadn't been too busy lately, she would have gone to his door to seek revenge long ago, instead of letting him run around like this.
"Then why did he capture Jiuxian this time?" Luo Xi asked, puzzled. "Could it be that your sect leader went to seek revenge on him?"
"No, that's not true." White Tiger looked aggrieved.
"Who knows what crazy thing Nan Wushang has gone on lately? He said he's developing a new type of poison, and naturally, someone has to test it when developing poison."
"Our assassins from the Red Mansion inexplicably became his test subjects, one after another being drugged and captured by him, which is why the Lord of the Mansion came to us."
"Who would have thought that the Lord of the Pavilion was poisoned by him not long after he arrived, and he and Qinglong were captured and taken to Chuyun Valley. To this day, they have been neither seen alive nor dead."
What a ruthless poison doctor! He's incredibly arrogant. Luo Xi will remember him: "Is his poison really that potent? That you've fallen for it time and time again?"
"Yes, it's quite impressive." The White Tiger also felt a little embarrassed. Being fooled once was due to ignorance, but repeatedly...
"It is said that no one has been able to cure the poison doctor's poison to this day, except for himself."
"According to Xuanwu's message, the Chuyun Valley where the Poison Doctor lives is poisonous, whether it is the surrounding grass, trees, rocks, snakes, insects, rats, or even the air. They were blocked by these poisonous creatures."
Poisonous creatures? Luo Xi wasn't afraid of that at all; with her spatial barrier, nothing could get close to her.
"You send a message to Xuanwu, telling him to stay put with the others. I will personally go and meet this so-called poison doctor, Nan Wushang."
"But...his poison?" Baihu asked with some concern.
"I have my own way."
Baihu glanced at Luo Xi's calm demeanor and instantly understood: "Yes, Lady Luo."
It seems that Nan Wushang is in for some bad luck this time.
Luo Xi bid farewell to Si Jia, who was standing to the side: "Prefect Si, we'll meet at General Yue Zheng's residence."
"Boss, how about I have Si Mo take a few men and go with you?" Si Jia had also heard of this poison doctor.
He's an oddball who's obsessed with medicine and poison, and does nothing else but follow his own whims, showing no respect for anyone.
Therefore, he didn't know whether the title of Right Chancellor was effective in deterring him.
Loxi accepted his offer, but said, "No need. I prefer to take revenge myself."
"Besides, the things in your caravan are quite important, and there are many bandits everywhere, so it would be better for Simo to leave them behind."
Seeing her insistence, Si Jia had no choice but to give up: "Then, Chief, please be careful on your journey. If you need anything, please send a letter to the Toyokawa Prefectural Governor's Office."
“Okay.” Luo Xi accepted his kindness, nodded, and then rode off with Bai Hu towards Chuyun Valley.
When they arrived, Xuanwu was already anxiously waiting at the crossroads: "Lady Luo, you've finally arrived."
He was a young man with a square face, looking dignified and composed. Unlike Qinglong and Baihu, he didn't look like an assassin, but more like a chivalrous hero.
Luo Xi glanced at him briefly before asking, "How is it? Still no news from Jiu Xian?"
Xuanwu sighed, "Yes, no one has come out from inside, and we can't get in either. We still have no news about the Lord of the Tower."
This was the most frustrating moment of his life; he hadn't even seen the enemy, yet his side had lost so many men.
As Xuanwu spoke, he led Luo Xi toward their temporary camp. At that moment, suppressed groans of pain came from the other side.
“...Them?” Rosie asked, pointing to the tent from which the sound was coming from.
Xuanwu was both heartbroken and furious: "It's those assassins who recently rushed into the valley. Unfortunately, not only did they fail to get in, they were also poisoned by all sorts of strange poisons. If there's no antidote soon, I'm afraid..."
It's really not easy for the Dream of the Red Chamber to train an assassin. If they all perish here, the loss will be enormous.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi said, "Take me to see it."
Without a moment's hesitation, Xuanwu led Luo Xi towards the tent: "Lady Luo, they might look a bit..."
Would Rosie be afraid of this? The answer is no.
“It’s okay,” she said.
Although she was mentally prepared, when all sorts of bizarre faces appeared before her, Rosie couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Among the black-clad men, who were tightly bound yet still writhing and wailing, were faces ranging from flushed to pale, black, oozing pus, and alternating between white and green. Some were even frozen into human-shaped ice sculptures.
Rosie: "..."
This is truly eye-opening; there are so many different kinds of poisoning.
"Please, kill me, kill me!" Suddenly, the assassin, whose face turned from white to green, reached out and softly grabbed Luo Xi's skirt, his bloodshot eyes filled with a desire for death.
Rosie: "..."
How much pain must have been in him for this man to lose all hope of living?
Xuanwu turned his head away, unable to bear it: "They were in so much pain that they all wanted to commit suicide, so I had no choice but to tie them all up."
"However, this method probably won't last long; they may be tortured to death."
