The man finally turned and glared at her, somewhat angrily.
Because the face mask was still covering her face.
Xiao Tang could only read a hint of anger in his eyes.
The masked flower thief has quite the air about him.
"My sister has heard that you, Strategist Hao Fang, are a master of poisons, and she would like to have a friendly exchange with you."
Xiao Tang's lips twitched: "That's it?"
Are you bored?
Who would have thought that flower thieves these days have so much free time?
He turned around with a smug grin, giving her a disapproving look. "Let me tell you, my sister is no ordinary person. You'd better not make her angry."
"Also, once you arrive, just listen to her obediently, and everything will be negotiable."
Xiao Tang was speechless and choked with emotion.
"Nonsense!"
She has a mission to complete.
If you want to get to the Northern Frontier to see the Marquis of Dingbei of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, you must hurry.
So she casually asked, "Where do you live?"
"My sister lives in Rongzhou in northern Xinjiang."
Xiao Tang clapped his hands.
What a coincidence!
The Marquis of Dingbei was said to be residing in Rongzhou.
Xiao Tang really couldn't figure out how they knew about her amazing poison-making skills.
However, she did use poison when Di Jingling quelled the rebels last time.
Could it be that time?
It was indeed in the territory of northern Xinjiang at that time.
Xiao Tang shifted her position closer to Xiao Fengdian, "Big brother, it's fine if your sister wants to spar with me, but can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"That's the Marquis of Dingbei."
"Marquis of Dingbei?" Xiao Fengdian looked at Xiao Tang with a puzzled expression. "Are you really the Regent's strategist?"
She had a vague feeling that the man's expression was a little strange.
Was that look of disdain towards her?
Xiao Tang frowned slightly. "What's with that expression? Who are you looking down on?"
"The Marquis of Dingbei and your Regent of Dasheng are mortal enemies, didn't you know?"
Xiao Tang: "..."
At this moment, she finally understood the price that the damn system had mentioned.
Treating the villain's nemesis is quite a feat.
She remembered reading in the book that the main villain had too many enemies, but these enemies were either eventually won over by the male protagonist or eliminated directly by the main villain.
However, there is indeed a mortal enemy.
The nemesis kept helping the male protagonist, but never mentioned his name.
Who would have thought it was the Marquis of Dingbei?
"Hehe... How would I know about these things? I'm just a working person."
She gave an awkward smile.
His gaze fell on a distant spot, and he fell into deep thought.
Perhaps...
While treating the Marquis of Dingbei, I'll finish him off with a single blow, thus eliminating future troubles for the main villain.
It's only five years less.
It's no big deal.
The carriage had been traveling for a full day when it reached Rongzhou.
They traveled overnight, and it took them a full twelve hours to reach Rongzhou.
It was already late at night.
Laughing wildly, he got off the carriage and knocked on Xiao Tang, who was dozing against the carriage wall, "We're here. Stop dawdling and come here."
Xiao Tang's neck was stiff from sleeping.
Even now, she found herself missing the villain's big, soft, and warm bed.
She rubbed her neck and stepped down from the carriage.
When she saw the abandoned house in the distance, her expression darkened.
This house... is a haunted house.
They actually live in this shabby place?
Seeing that she was still standing there, he laughed and nudged her, "Hurry up, stop dawdling, my sister has been waiting for a long time."
"You daughter!"
Xiao Tang disliked such impolite behavior, especially pushing and shoving.
Laughing hysterically, he nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, that's my sister."
Xiao Tang rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"elder brother."
Just as Xiao Tang was about to call him an idiot, the silvery female voice rang out with a cheerful laugh.
It was a pleasant surprise.
Just by listening to her voice, you can tell that this girl is playful and cute.
Not far away, under the bright moonlight, a girl came running, lifting the hem of her skirt.
She was wearing a veil, so her face was not visible.
However, she ran too fast, causing her veil to lift and revealing the woman's face to Xiao Tang...
His face was covered in pustules.
They must have been poisoned to this extent.
Xiao Tang couldn't help but look at Xiao Fengdian.
He was also wearing a mask.
Could it be... that these two brothers were disfigured by poison?
The strange thing about this poison is that it only causes pustules on the lower half of the girl's face, while the upper half of her face remains intact.
That's really... a very potent "poison".
The girl ran towards the man laughing hysterically, and her veil fell down, conveniently concealing her face.
She smiled, "Brother..."
His eyes caught sight of Xiao Tang.
"Are you Hao Fang?"
Xiao Tang nodded slightly, which was still quite polite.
Xiao Fengdian immediately introduced her to Xiao Tang: "This is my sister, Xiao Lengshuang."
Xiao Tang grunted.
So "Laughing Madman" is actually a name. She thought she might have been mistaken...
Xiao Lengshuang looked Xiao Tang up and down.
She then said, "Please come in, strategist."
"You can rest assured, we mean no harm. We just hope you can help us detoxify."
Unlike her cheerful demeanor when facing Xiao Fengdian just moments ago, Xiao Lengshuang now spoke to her with remarkable composure.
Xiao Tang understood. "So, you didn't come here to spar with me?"
He only sought her out to cure the poison.
But……
Strangely, the system did not emit any beeping sounds.
Even when this madman approached, the system did not issue a poison warning.
