Geriletana was expelled from the palace. Yin Jin'an and Xiahou Yan sent people to escort her, not to the post station, much less to an inn.
They were deported immediately.
Madman Chu pursued her and poisoned her.
Poison his master, then let her go back?
For some reason, Emperor Aotian was determined to kill her or imprison her and extort money from Ulanbatu.
Geriletana never expected this outcome, but she did not regret it, because her original intention was to annex the State of Qi.
Back at the inn, the four maids Baohuan, Yuzhui, Yuzhu, and Baozhu were there. Among them, Yuzhui and Yuzhu were not from the Liao Dynasty, but were maids brought by Zhao Song, because they were familiar with the customs and culture of the Qi Kingdom.
At this moment, both maids were somewhat frightened.
Xiahou Yan's men kept a close eye on them, not allowing them to stay at the post station for even a minute. Xiahou Yan ordered the post station to settle accounts with the original servants who had accompanied the bride, along with these four maids, for their food, clothing, and other necessities over the past few days, based on the purchase price.
Geriletana sneered, "How petty of you, you even care about such a small amount of money."
Xiahou Yan said, "You should be glad that His Majesty has been in a good mood these past few days, otherwise you would still be breathing now?"
"We'll spend the night at the post station and leave tomorrow, or we can stay at an inn," Geriletana said with a wicked smile. If she stayed at an inn, who knows what might happen.
Xiahou Yan rolled his eyes: "You're not a tourist, you're a spy! The main reason I haven't killed you is because of your identity, so hurry up, this general still needs to serve His Majesty..."
Still want to stay at an inn? You should be grateful you weren't killed or sent to jail.
Geriletana had no choice but to pack her things and say to her four maids, "Let's go. It's good to be able to go back. I haven't seen my father in a long time."
"His Majesty will surely send someone to bring us back." Baozhu said somewhat nervously, "Our Liao Kingdom is much larger than the Qi Kingdom, and our scimitars..."
"Stop talking." Geriletana wasn't optimistic. She knew too little about Emperor Aotian and didn't know what kind of person he was.
However, those two from Yulong Kingdom are not to be trifled with.
Yang Hanfeng led his troops to expel Geriletana overnight. Geriletana's carriage, servant, and coachman were all given to her.
Wang Can has already appointed a new prefect over Zejin City. Yin Jin'an ordered Yang Hanfeng to take a thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but didn't give any other instructions. He only told them to leave Geriletana on the Liao Dynasty's border and not to rush back. Instead, they were to stay in Changjin City with Li Ziwei.
Yang Hanfeng was a little confused: "Shouldn't these kinds of people be locked up and interrogated properly? What kind of spies does the Liao Dynasty have? Or should we extort some money from them?"
Xiahou Yan said, "Although our Qi state is very poor now, with the strong support of the Yulong state, we will soon be no longer poor; in addition, with the Yulong state joining forces with the Great Qi, do you think the Liao Dynasty will still exist?"
They've destroyed an entire country, what money are they trying to extort?
As for spies, their country is gone, the emperor is gone, what are they still spying for?
Yang Hanfeng scratched his head.
They left overnight with Geriletana. On the way, Geriletana didn't cause any trouble. After all, Emperor Aotian and Emperor Yulong were going to attack the Liao Dynasty, and this was the most urgent matter. She had to get back as soon as possible.
After the palace banquet that day, Xie Zhaozhao told Zhou Shaoyu that since they were going to attack the Liao Dynasty, they should go back and inform all the civil and military officials.
The Liao Dynasty was a great power, but their weaponry was so advanced that people would probably fight tooth and nail to become its commanders.
Zhou Shaoyu looked at Yin Jin'an and said, "How about we both take command this time? Like when we attacked the Wei family?"
“Okay, I’ll attack from the west, and you attack from the east.”
Li Yunmu said, "I'm in charge of the supplies."
Xie Yu said, "I was the one who supplied the grain and fodder back then."
Before leaving, Zhou Shaoyu, Xie Zhaozhao, and Yin Jin'an had a private talk.
Zhou Shaoyu said to Yin Jin'an, "Jin'an, we are friends who have gone through thick and thin together. Can you tell me the truth? What exactly is wrong with you?"
Xie Zhaozhao looked at him earnestly, her eyes a little red.
Yin Jin'an originally didn't want to say, but looking at Xie Zhaozhao's appearance, he said nonchalantly, "This body was originally poisoned by a strange poison that even the Madman Chu couldn't detect, and Jiutian couldn't cure it either. Currently, we can only suppress it. As for when the illness flared up, I lost my mind."
He said that Jiutian helped him obtain an internal energy cultivation method, which he originally intended to practice martial arts, but unexpectedly discovered that it could suppress the onset of his illness.
However, it could only be suppressed under sunlight; it couldn't be controlled when the moon was out.
He told Xie Zhaozhao about some of the symptoms he knew and also shared some of his guesses.
Xie Zhaozhao thought of someone and said, "I do think of someone who might be able to cure your poison."
"who?"
“Lu Feiyan, the Empress of the Queen Empire, I have quite a connection with her.” Xie Zhaozhao said that Lu Feiyan also knew how to detoxify because she was Yu Chanzi’s disciple and the Empress of the Queen Empire. So, in addition to poison, she was also extremely skilled in Gu insects and knew some Taoist magic.
Perhaps this will cure Yin Jin'an's strange poison.
Yin Jin'an said, "After we conquer the Liao Dynasty, please introduce me to someone. I need to find a solution as soon as possible."
Although Gerilatana was detestable, she was right. Jiutian was five years old, and as she grew older, he would indeed have to consider her reputation.
The next day, the Yulong delegation left Qi. Yin Jin'an gave Xie Zhaozhao all of Qi's specialties and unique white jade, wishing she could take them all with her.
Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao accepted whatever they were offered, taking everything with them.
Yin Jin'an rode his horse, still with Jiu Tian in tow, and escorted Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao for three or four hundred miles. Zhou Shaoyu said, "Even a thousand miles of escorting someone must come to an end. Let's go back. Since we know you're here, we'll keep in touch often."
