Yuan Qi took out a lot of lightning-attracting talismans and explosive talismans and gave them to Jiang Junjing, and told him how to use them.
Seeing how serious she looked, Jiang Junjing didn't dare to underestimate her and asked Yuan Qi curiously, "Is it that serious? I don't think it's a problem."
Yuan Qi did not answer his question directly, but only said, "Did you see the jade pendant, the ornament, and the gold hairpin on the Fifth Prince's body?"
Jiang Junjing thought for a moment: "I didn't notice, but don't princes always wear them like this?"
Yuan Qi shook his head: "He is wearing magical artifacts."
Jiang Junjing was somewhat incredulous: "Really? I really didn't see that coming. Why is he wearing so many magical artifacts? It's not like he encounters evil spirits every day. Could it be that his birth chart is too weak?"
Yuan Qi analyzed for him: "It's normal for ordinary people to wear one or two items for self-defense, but not many people wear so many like him. Even you, Second Brother, only carry a talisman and a hairpin with you, and you don't wear the hairpin I gave you every day, right?"
Jiang Junjing nodded in agreement: "According to you, he is somewhat suspicious. We should be careful."
He took the things Yuan Qi had given him and muttered to himself, "No, I have to ask your third brother about this. He's always been resourceful; he might have a solution."
Yuan Qi didn't object to him asking Jiang Junyu, as Jiang Junyu did indeed have more information. She nodded and said, "Go ahead and tell him the details. Maybe he'll figure something out."
As soon as Jiang Junjing left, Wen Zhujun came over with a tea tray and poured her a glass of water: "This matter doesn't seem to be aimed at your brother, but rather at you. I'll go with you tomorrow."
Yuan Qi nodded: "Why don't you invite Tu Shanli along?"
Wen Zhujun patted her head: "That's more like it. When you encounter problems, you should call for help. How old are you? It's not shameful to ask for help."
Yuan Qi looked at her meaningfully for a while before asking her, "Are you sure you didn't say that just to see Tu Shanli's skills? He's very powerful."
Wen Zhujun snorted: "Don't say anything even if you see through it, understand?"
Yuan Qi pursed her lips and said nothing. She took out a bunch of talismans from her cloth bag, including immobilization talismans, explosion talismans, invisibility talismans, teleportation talismans, and even water-repelling talismans, and explained their usage in detail.
Wen Zhujun silently memorized everything. Although she hadn't yet learned how to use the simplest peace charms, she could still learn how. She studied very diligently and even tried them out one by one.
The next morning, Yuan Qi put aside his alchemy work and set off early with Jiang Junjing by carriage, accompanied by the three sisters Jiang Jiulu, Jiang Bailu, and Jiang Songlu.
The four women were chattering excitedly in the car, especially Jiang Songlu, who felt that Jiang Jiulu was going to steal Xiao Zhen from her, and she talked about it particularly enthusiastically on the way.
Jiang Jiulu was not to be outdone and almost got into a fight with her several times.
Yuan Qi pretended not to see it and lifted the carriage curtain to look at the scenery outside.
Saihe River is located ten miles south of the city. It is a picturesque place with a wide open area. Many slender dragon boats are moored on the river. Each dragon boat has a cowhide drum on its bow. Even before you get close, you can hear the deafening drumbeats and shouts.
The people on the dragon boat were all dressed in matching shorts and sat neatly inside, while the drummer beat the drum rhythmically, which was very inspiring.
"This is really exciting!" Jiang Jiulu was energized by the lively scene, and the fatigue from the car ride vanished.
Several girls ran towards the pier by the river. There were quite a few people standing on the pier, all of whom had come to watch the excitement, just like them.
Jiang Jiulu led Yuan Qi to a spot near the front and pointed to a red dragon boat: "Look, isn't that red boat beautiful!"
Jiang Junjing had already gone to change his clothes and instructed the guards to keep a close eye on the four young ladies, as there were many people around and things could get messy.
Yuan Qi looked closely at the river surface and indeed saw a heavy aura of malevolence floating on the water where the sky met the water, but ordinary people could not see it.
There are probably water ghosts or water demons here, and there are no water birds flying or circling in that area.
Yuan Qi felt a tap on her shoulder, and when she turned around, she saw Tu Shanli and Wen Zhujun standing behind her.
Tu Shanli used a concealment talisman, causing those around him to automatically ignore his good looks and temperament, and even his merit. In the eyes of others, he was just an extremely ordinary man.
"Do you see that?" Yuan Qi pointed to the thick aura of malevolence.
Tu Shanli said, "I see it! It's so obvious, if I still can't see it, I'll be blind! When are you going to finish refining the medicine I gave you? I'm waiting to sell it. If you don't hurry up, I'll have to close down."
Yuan Qi retorted irritably, "What's the rush? Just wait. Doesn't refining medicine consume spiritual energy? The process of refining medicine is complicated, and I don't have many people to help me. It can't be rushed."
Taking advantage of her height, Tu Shanli tapped her on the head: "No one but you dares to talk to me like that."
Wen Zhujun envied Yuan Qi for being able to speak so casually with Tu Shanli. She couldn't do that; she had to be very careful when speaking to Tu Shanli, considering every word before saying it. She wouldn't dare to be so confrontational.
Tu Shanli didn't treat her as a friend either; in Tu Shanli's eyes, she was just a servant or something like that.
I don't know when, but she was able to talk to Tushan so casually.
Jiang Songlu and Jiang Jiulu, with their sharp eyes, spotted Xiao Zhen and Jiang Junjing's boat almost simultaneously. The two excitedly pointed at the crimson dragon boat: "Look, the Fifth Prince is over there!"
The two shouted, and everyone looked over. The girls in the crowd screamed.
"The Fifth Prince is so handsome!"
"Young Master Jiang is still the most handsome!"
Some people in the crowd praised one of them, but Wen Zhujun scoffed lightly: "No matter how good-looking they are, they can't compare to our Tushanli."
Yuan Qi was quite proud, speaking as if he were talking about his own son: "That's right, he's a nine-tailed fox, naturally alluring, everyone who sees him is infatuated."
Tu Shanli tapped her on the head again, annoyed, and said, "You talk too much."
Wen Zhujun suddenly realized something: Could it be that she liked Tu Shanli because he was naturally charming and unconsciously seduced people?
She shook her head, dismissing the thought, realizing she had been being petty. Tu Shanli's strength was practically that of a demigod; there was no need for him to seduce anyone.
Yuan Qi had already seen Jiang Junjing's boat and passed by that area with the strongest malevolent energy. He didn't see anything happen to them, and there were quite a few dragon boats passing by there, and no one seemed to be acting strangely.
That's very strange.
As the dragon boat team moved along, many large fish, three to five feet long, leaped out of the river and sped forward with the team.
Many people saw it, and cheers and screams rose and fell.
"The Dragon King has appeared!"
"The Dragon King has appeared!"
...
Many people knelt down devoutly and kowtowed in prayer.
Yuan Qi and Tu Shanli felt something was unusual. One or two fish accompanying the dragon boat was one thing, but so many was too abnormal.
