Ning Xi'er did not give a clear answer.
In fact, she didn't know whether she would go back or when she would go back.
Perhaps one day, when the cooperation with Xie Zhun falls apart, I can use that as an excuse to leave.
Xie Zhun's eyes flickered, but there was no trace of disappointment on his face.
Even if I had expected this answer, my last shred of hope was shattered...
But rather than getting a promise from the other party, he hoped he could fulfill his own promise and make the other party want to stay.
Ning Xi'er suddenly remembered something and asked Xie Zhun about Eunuch Xu's kung fu skills...
Based on the level of defense around him, Ning Xi'er always felt that Eunuch Xu's skills were even superior to those of Xuan Feng and other guards.
Xie Zhun nodded, praising her observation skills.
"Eunuch Xu commands a Dragon Shadow Guard, formerly the core of the Imperial Guard. Before my father passed away, he ordered Eunuch Xu to transfer and take this force with him..."
Even if they are not transferred, this team will be scattered and broken up.
No emperor ever continued to use the same people as his predecessors.
"Although Eunuch Xu entered the palace very early, he was deeply trusted by his father and mother and personally led this team, so his martial arts skills were also very good."
“Xuanfeng and the other four guards were also selected from among the best.”
Ning Xi'er nodded, then asked, "Remove them now?"
"They've been lurking around us. If they reveal their strength, I'm worried it will make the people in the capital extremely uneasy, leading to a coordinated attack..."
"Does Xu Yan know about their existence?"
This is the key question Ning Xi'er wanted to ask.
Xie Zhun nodded. "That's why I didn't call upon them."
Even Xu Yan's identity is questionable, so no one can guarantee how many more members of the Dragon Shadow Guard have been lured into defection.
Even if they weren't, since Xu Yan knew of their existence, how could he be sure that their actions weren't happening right under someone else's nose?
A team that cannot be fully trusted can become a weapon in someone else's hands at any time.
Ning Xi'er nodded, thinking about where Xu Yan was at the moment, she felt that the token given by Xie Zhun couldn't be as simple as just directly mobilizing troops.
When Ning Xi'er pushed Xie Zhun out of the house, most of the people outside were already asleep.
Eunuch Xu had been waiting outside. Even Ning Xi'er felt her eyes well up with tears when she saw his figure in the night wind.
I found Xu Yan even more hateful...
Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian immediately stepped forward, pushed Xie Zhun to the side of the carriage, and carried him in.
The carriage had been cleaned up and smelled of freshly dried bedding.
By the light of the lamp, Eunuch Xu saw that Xie Zhun looked much better, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Once the carriage curtain was lowered, Ning Xi'er lifted Xie Zhun's trouser leg to show Eunuch Xu.
Eunuch Xu could not hide his surprise and was so happy that he did not know what to do.
The owner of these two legs was completely ignored by the two people in front of them.
Ning Xi'er now lifts his clothes and trouser legs with the same ease she uses to lift her own...
Xie Zhun's ears turned red and his heart warmed.
Before Eunuch Xu could ask, Ning Xi'er told him the answer he was concerned about, "Ten days..."
Xie Zhun's expression froze.
Ning Xi'er said with a sigh of relief, "I'll prepare the oral medication later. I'll take it daily and continue with gastric lavage, intestinal cleansing, and dialysis..."
"In ten days, the toxins in the body can be completely eliminated."
Finally, Eunuch Xu couldn't help himself and took Ning Xi'er's hand, not knowing how to express his gratitude.
Xie Zhun's gaze was intense, yet beneath his turbulent emotions, he appeared remarkably calm.
Ning Xi'er smiled and turned around, giving him an encouraging smile.
"Good! Good! We'll make the preparations right away. These next few days, we'll have the two generals guard the mountain and its foot, so the Princess can focus on detoxifying the Prince..."
Xie Zhun snapped out of his reverie and met Ning Xi'er's gaze. Soon, they understood the unspoken message in each other's eyes.
Something's not right!
Judging from the fact that the enemy is relentlessly pursuing them, without missing a single day, there have been five days of calm since the attack on the bandits and Cangshu's suicide.
The bandits were killed, and their families were released. The enemy naturally knew they were currently short-handed...
The mountain was so large that their forces were naturally scattered, making it an opportune time to attack.
Eunuch Xu's expression immediately changed, and the ruthless look of someone who had guarded the two dynasties finally appeared on his face.
"If they dare to come up here, we'll make sure they never return!"
As if to confirm their words, before dawn, Zheng Ye discussed with Eunuch Xu that the sentries had discovered unusual activity at the foot of the mountain.
Xie Zhun and Ning Xi'er had already reminded him beforehand that if any issues arose recently, he should consult with Eunuch Xu.
Xie Zhun understood that Ning Xi'er had already revealed the existence of the space and mentioned that she had stored a considerable amount of weapons and equipment...
Xie Zhun's health has improved in the past two days. His opponent is strong, and with his personal arrangements, he can naturally better "entertain" him.
Ning Xi'er pushed Xie Zhun back into the house, disinfected the surrounding area, and then injected Xie Zhun with antivenom serum, as well as other serotonins to resist centipedes, scorpions, toads, and geckos.
Xie Zhun frowned slightly as the needle entered his body.
Ning Xi'er immediately took out orange gummies from her spatial storage and stuffed them into Xie Zhun's mouth.
The person who received the injection did indeed smile.
Chewing on the familiar sweet taste in his mouth, Xie Zhun smiled and asked, "Your teacher said, did your brother really give you this candy?"
Ning Xi'er stuck out her tongue and honestly confessed, "I took it from the imperial kitchen."
Xie Zhun was taken aback at first, then asked, "On the day the house was searched, were the things that disappeared from the mansion also your doing?"
This wasn't an accusation at all for Ning Xi'er; it was more like a compliment, like a little fox wagging its tail, waiting for praise...
