Upon hearing Nan Wushang's words, Luo Xi immediately revealed an expression of anticipation.
"Boss, shall I go help Mr. Chu?" The constables who brought Chu Zhe here were furious to see that the man who had caused them so much trouble had managed to escape.
Luo Xi shook her head: "No need, Chu Zhe alone is enough."
The constables glanced at the refined-looking Chu Zhe, not quite believing him, but seeing that Luo Xi didn't agree, they had no choice but to hold back.
At this point, Nan Wushang was not far from the courtyard wall. If he were to escape from Luo Xi's house, it would be difficult to catch him again.
Nan Wushang couldn't help but smile smugly, but in the next instant, Chu Zhe's familiar face suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall.
Nan Wushang was startled and hurriedly changed direction, but just as he was about to leap over the wall, that face was smiling at him from not far away.
Nan Wushang: "..."
He still didn't believe it.
With a determined effort, he channeled all his inner strength into his legs and flew off in the opposite direction.
But this time, they still couldn't escape.
"Shall we continue?" Chu Zhe asked, still maintaining his good-natured demeanor.
Nan Wushang's face turned from blue to green in an instant, it was quite a sight: "Compete!"
A hint of darkness flashed in his eyes beneath his thick, sword-like eyebrows, and the poison on his body once again silently drifted towards Chu Zhe.
Oh no! Chu Zhe didn't have time to react. He was unable to move again and fell to the ground with a thud.
People who use poison are really disgusting!
Rosie: "..."
Just as she was about to tighten the enclosed space, another unexpected event occurred. Several strangely dressed people jumped out from her courtyard wall and surrounded Nan Wushang.
"So that's where you were hiding. No wonder we couldn't find you anywhere. What a clever idea. But let's see where you run this time."
Nan Wushang's expression turned truly grim. He turned to Luo Xi and said, "Help me, and I'll heal you."
Luo Xi understood now. So this person came to Tongning County to escape his enemies. But she remembered that they had a feud, didn't they?
"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This man dared to treat our young master like that; he should have known this day would come." The leader warned before Luo Xi could speak.
My lord? Healed like that? Luo Xi looked over with a strange expression: "Nan Wushang, who did you heal and turn into that?"
He wouldn't treat patients as test subjects and kill them, would he?
Nan Wushang glanced over there and curled his lip: "The Left Prime Minister's son, Xiao Yu, is nothing. It's just that his ear was cut off and not put back on. It's no big deal."
He muttered in frustration, "It's so strange. I could always put it back together after cutting it off from the monkey before, why can't I do it this time?"
Loxi: "..."
"Damn it, didn't you say you cured someone? How come you turned into a monkey?" The leader was furious.
“Our young master only had pain in his ear, but now he’s disfigured because of you.”
Nan Wushang scoffed, "But his ear doesn't hurt anymore. I cured it, and you haven't paid me for the consultation yet."
The leader snorted coldly: "That's easy. You come back with us now, we'll put the ear back on for you, and we'll give you ten times the consultation fee."
They treated their young master like that and still want payment? They're dreaming. We'll see how they deal with this guy after we get back and heal him.
"Are you stupid?" Nan Wushang raised his eyelids: "It's been so long, your ears must be stinking by now. Are you going to put them on to attract mosquitoes?"
"You're asking for it!" The leader was furious again. If this guy hadn't been hiding everywhere and refusing to continue treatment, their young master's ears wouldn't have gotten damaged.
"Listen up, everyone, get your weapons ready, grab them alive."
Once he caught someone, he would first cut off that person's ear so that he could also experience the taste.
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant net flew up from all around. It was made of some unknown material, shimmering and looking very sturdy. One by one, people grabbed the edges of the net tightly, and they were all wrapped from head to toe.
With protective suits and large nets, all of which are Nan Wushang's nemesis, Luo Xi knew that they had come prepared.
Seeing that she was only interested in watching the excitement, Nan Wushang became anxious: "Luo Xi, help me quickly! These people are extremely vicious. If I fall into their hands, I definitely won't survive."
His only redeeming qualities are his lightness skills and poison techniques, but now, thanks to their actions, he's completely trapped.
Luo Xi slowly helped Chu Zhe up, who was now able to move after drinking the spiritual spring water.
"Besides saving people, you'll have to work for me from now on." She took advantage of the situation.
"You shameless!" Nan Wushang dodged left and right, even using a dagger to slash at the net in an attempt to save himself.
The net remained unbroken, the poison was ineffective, and even on Luo Xi's side, no one had fallen. Could it be that his poison... had lost its effectiveness?
This isn't a failure; it's all thanks to Rosie's spatial blockade: "If you don't agree, fine. I'm not in a hurry anyway."
But he was anxious. Nan Wushang was about to curse when he saw the net above his head tightening. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Fine, deal. Save me now."
Although he didn't know if Luo Xi had the ability to save him, he had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
Loxi grinned triumphantly: "Deal, fire the arrow."
Suddenly, rows of archers appeared outside the courtyard wall and unleashed a volley of arrows.
Looking at the rain of arrows flying towards them, Nan Wushang's face turned green: "Damn it, I'm still inside."
Those who were trying to grab the net were startled and tried to escape, but the sharp arrows had already pierced their flesh with a "hissing" sound. In no time, their vision went black, and they fell to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Nan Wushang, thanks to his excellent lightness skill, ultimately survived, though he was somewhat disheveled.
At this moment, the outer door was pushed open, and Xiao Yi rushed in: "Your subordinate is a step late, please punish me, Boss."
He was in charge of security inside and outside the city, but now he's sent someone to infiltrate the chief's mansion to assassinate him. He deserves to die.
This was indeed his dereliction of duty. Luo Xi always believed in clear rewards and punishments: "He'll be fined two months' wages, and make sure it doesn't happen again."
That's it? Xiao Yi was somewhat taken aback. He thought he probably wouldn't be able to become a general, but it turned out to be like this.
"I understand," he said guiltily.
"Let's clean up the battlefield." Luo Xi turned to Nan Wushang: "Aren't you going to neutralize the poison you just released?"
If one of our own people falls to the ground, that would be a terrible injustice.
Nan Wushang was somewhat disappointed; he had thought he would see how Luo Xi detoxified herself.
He reluctantly raised his hand and waved: "That's enough."
"He's been obedient enough," Luo Xi said, satisfied. She led Nan Wushang and Chu Zhe into the house and sat them down. "Tell me," she said, "what's wrong with Yue Zheng Feiyuan? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Nan Wushang disgustedly picked up the tattered corner of his clothes, brought it to his nose and sniffed it: "No matter what, shouldn't we wait until I change my clothes first?"
Luo Xi glanced at his beggar's clothes and couldn't help but smile: "Alright, someone, take him to take a bath."
