The transport plane landed slowly, and Ning Xi'er was the first to open the cabin door and land.
Zheng Ye and his guards and attendants were naturally very curious about the huge transport plane.
Seeing Ning Xi'er come down, Zheng Ye's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to ask...
Unexpectedly, Ning Xi'er ambushed him, causing him to inhale the powder and fall into a deep sleep.
The same was true for the other guards.
The powder, produced by the Imperial Pharmacy, can confuse people's memories, causing temporary amnesia.
Xie Zhun was carried down by Xuan Feng and put into a wheelchair.
Xie Zhun and Ning Xi'er looked around; the place resembled a village, yet the enormous roar of the transport plane hadn't awakened the villagers...
Every house was closed, and there wasn't a single light on, which seemed rather strange.
But since Zheng Ye had chosen this place, it must be safe, so Xie Zhun first ordered Xuan Feng and the others to unload the people from the transport plane.
In the blink of an eye, Ning Xi'er took out all the horses, carriages, food, and other supplies that she had previously stored in her spatial storage and put them back in the open space.
As Eunuch Xu descended the spiral staircase, he saw that the supplies gathered at the mountaintop were intact, and looked at Ning Xi'er...
Seeing is believing, and only then did she believe what the prince said: Ning Xi'er knew the art of spatial storage...
There weren't many people left in the Prince's Mansion and the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion to begin with, so Xuanfeng and the others carried two people at a time and placed them in the open space...
In no time, everyone inside the transport plane was carried off.
The Duke of Huguo and his wife, along with the First and Second Wives, were all sent back to their carriages.
Zheng Chengguang was also helped onto the carriage.
In front of Eunuch Xu, Xuanfeng, and others, Ning Xier stored the transport plane into her spatial storage.
They could not hide their shock, and at the same time, Ning Xi'er's great power gave them even more confidence for the journey ahead.
Ning Xi'er held the antidote to Zheng Ye's nose, and Zheng Ye woke up shortly afterward.
Seeing Xie Zhun, Ning Xi'er, and Eunuch Xu, and that everyone around them was in place, with supplies fully stocked...
But he had no recollection of it at all, and he couldn't help but press his head, somewhat puzzled.
Xie Zhun glanced at Eunuch Xu.
Eunuch Xu stepped forward to explain that Zheng Ye was probably in a state of high tension, and upon seeing everyone arrive safely, he and the guards fell into a deep sleep...
Zheng Ye was still puzzled, but seeing Xie Zhun's calm expression, and Xuan Feng, Ning Xi'er, and the others beside him, showing no surprise whatsoever...
He could only be secretly surprised, realizing that he had indeed been too nervous and had forgotten everything that had happened.
Xie Zhun changed the subject and asked about the situation.
Zheng Ye reported truthfully that he had led his guards to investigate in several groups that afternoon.
The gates of Anping County were tightly shut, the surrounding villages were deserted, all crops in the fields had been harvested, and even the wild vegetables had been uprooted...
Zheng Ye often met with Eunuch Xu, so he naturally knew that the remaining rations were less than two days' worth, and they had to find a place to replenish their food supplies.
Judging from the situation in Anping, it's likely that we won't be able to enter the next county town either.
Therefore, they wanted to find a place where they could hunt, fish, or dig for wild vegetables to replenish their food supplies.
We found this village along the way. There were plenty of houses in the village, but most of them were uninhabited.
Nestled against high mountains, near a water channel, and with ample living space, it is simply an excellent place to rest and recuperate.
Not to mention Xie Zhun, even Ning Xi'er and Eunuch Xu frowned slightly after hearing this.
Based on Zheng Ye's previous description, along this journey, whether it was the government officials or ordinary people...
It's as if there's always an invisible hand that gets there first and closes off all their escape routes.
It makes no sense that this village, with its excellent geographical advantages, would simply remain untouched, waiting for them to move in...
Xie Zhun ordered Xuan Feng, who was behind him, to enter the house again to investigate.
Prior to this, the people who were carried off the transport plane were still unconscious.
Ning Xi'er did not administer any medication to them, lest any unforeseen events occur and they would have to be knocked unconscious again.
Xuanfeng, being cautious by nature, accompanied Xuanshuang as they inspected each house one by one.
There was nothing unusual inside the house, but Xuanfeng swiftly flew up and grabbed a middle-aged man who was acting suspiciously behind the house.
Xuanfeng grabbed the man and threw him into the open space.
Ning Xi'er noticed powder on his fingertips, stepped forward, and grabbed his hand to examine it.
The man tried to pull his hand back, but Xuanfeng grabbed his wrist.
Xuanfeng coldly shouted, "Move again! I'll cripple this hand of yours!"
The man then accepted the arrangement and showed Ning Xi'er his palm.
Ning Xi'er glanced at it twice, sniffed it lightly, and immediately instructed Xuan Feng to wash his hands with the water pouch she had handed him.
"Tripterygium wilfordii powder".
Ning Xi'er gave her conclusion.
They might be unfamiliar with this name, but they've definitely heard of another one.
"It is also called the heartbreak grass."
Eunuch Xu's expression changed instantly. He stepped forward and grabbed the man by the throat, demanding, "Speak! What do you want to do?!"
"Who exactly are you trying to harm?!"
Knowing his actions had been exposed, the man showed an unyielding expression, rolled his eyes, and his drooping eyelids made him look truly repulsive.
Seeing that he wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin, Eunuch Xu kicked him in the back of the knee, and the man instantly felt a sharp pain and fell to his knees.
Ning Xi'er then shoved a pill into his mouth.
The man glared angrily.
Xuanfeng punched him on the head, yelling, "What are you looking at!"
Ning Xi'er laughed, "Since you dared to do this, you must have made the worst-case scenario plan and aren't afraid of death..."
Ning Xi'er leaned closer, "What if it's worse than death?"
