Chapter 163: Be on Guard Against Others
It would be fine if they didn't think about it, but the thought made both the master and the servant break out in cold sweats.
At this time, Xiao Fei, who was not far away, shouted to them: "Miss Yan, we can go now."
"Got it!" Ah Man replied for her, then said, "Miss, for now, let's take it one step at a time. Don't rush to look for the medicine bugs. If there's a chance, let's escape from here first."
"Yeah!" Yan Baozhu responded with a slightly panicked look. Thinking that her mother might have been killed by the regent, she felt sad and scared.
Even the mother couldn't escape unscathed with so many experts, so how could the master and servant escape?
Moving forward again, Yan Baozhu no longer had the thoughts of love like a little girl, but was only afraid of the unknown.
He seemed to be searching for the insect that could cure the poison absent-mindedly, but in fact he was only thinking about escaping.
But there are guards with great martial arts skills in front and behind, how can they escape?
At this moment, Mu Xingci, who was following behind, suddenly called out to the person in front: "Shangguan Lan!"
The voice, neither loud nor soft, called the person in front over, but the feet did not stop moving forward.
"Regent, do you have any instructions?" Shangguan Lan asked with a bow.
"You have been in the Yan tribe for more than ten years at least. Do you know anything about some poisons?" Mu Xingci said after some consideration. He couldn't trust Yan Baozhu too much.
“I don’t know much about poison. Although my mother is also a master of refining poison in the clan, she didn’t teach me anything about refining poison when I was blind.
I did teach my five-year-old sister. She was very smart since she was young. When she was three years old, she followed my mother to learn how to make Gu. I just listened from the side when I was bored sometimes.
"What a pity. So, no matter what Yan Baozhu says, we won't know whether it's true or false?" Mu Xingci said with regret.
"Lord Regent, it's been so long since that happened. Please allow me to think about the past."
"Hmm?" Mu Xingci responded, turned around and looked at Yun Wansheng who was following behind him: "Are you tired?" His tone unconsciously softened.
"Not tired!" Yun Wansheng rolled her eyes at him. Who would dare to complain of being tired at this time?
Mu Xingci wanted to hold her hand, but the woman opened it. She really didn't recognize him after putting on her pants.
At this time, Shangguan Lan turned around and walked side by side with him: "Regent King, I don't remember anything else, I seem to remember that when my mother was teaching my sister, I heard this poison order next to her.
This poison order has a specific poison and a corresponding antidote, which means that each poison has its own corresponding antidote."
"Oh? Do you still remember the poison order?" Mu Xingci asked calmly.
“I only remember a few sentences, like the white Gu responds to the black centipede, the red Gu responds to the blue Chi, and the black Gu responds to the golden shell. That’s all I remember.
"Regent, I think these three short sentences have taught us how to avoid risks," Shangguan Lan said.
Mu Xingci repeated it several times in his mind: "Indeed, at least I have a rough idea in mind."
Yun Wansheng, who was standing behind them, was listening to their conversation, thinking about the original owner's memories. But after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't remember the original owner's memories when he was five years old. Maybe he was too young?
After Mu Xingci's poison is cured, she will find an opportunity to reunite with Shangguan Lan, so that she will have a relative in this world.
At this time, Mu Xingci and Shangguan Lan in front walked forward, and Yun Wansheng instinctively followed them.
"Miss Yan, what does that medicinal insect look like? I want them to pay attention to it too." Mu Xingci came to Yan Baozhu and stopped her.
"Uh... Regent, the medicine insect is white, similar to a silkworm pupa." Yan Baozhu's eyes flickered twice.
"Is it difficult to find?" Mu Xingci asked calmly, but in his mind he was comparing it with the poison order he had just given.
It was obvious that the woman was lying. She was poisoned by the black widow poison made by the black moth. The corresponding insect should be the golden-shelled insect, but she said it was a white insect.
"A little bit. It likes shade, and it has to be a female insect."
"How do you distinguish between mother insects?" Mu Xingci stared sharply at the woman under the firelight.
"The female insect has no horns on its head, so it's easy to distinguish." Yan Baozhu tried to remain calm, but in front of this majestic man, her little heart couldn't bear the pressure, making her expression a little tense and showing panic too early.
"Miss Yan, I don't have time to play tricks on you. Don't think you're the only one here who knows how to make poison. Don't forget Shangguan Lan's true identity and who his mother is.
I'll give you one more chance. If you say you're wrong again, there's no need for you to live any longer." Mu Xingci's voice was cold and murderous.
Upon hearing this, Yan Baozhu subconsciously glanced at Shangguan Lan. She really didn't know that this man also knew about Gu.
At this time, Ah Man protected the young master behind him and said, "Lord Regent, please don't overthink it. My young master has been spoiled since she was a child. You had someone pretend to be you and take off her mask, which made her feel humiliated. So, what she said just now was just out of anger. In fact, when we were searching, we were looking for the golden-shelled medicine insect."
"Really? It seems I was overthinking it. You can continue looking. It would be best if you can find it tonight." Mu Xingci said nothing more.
"Yes! We will try our best." Ah Man said respectfully.
This time, Mu Xingci asked everyone to search separately and asked them to pay attention to the golden shell beetle. After finding it, they should first confirm with him whether it was the one or not.
In this way, the group dispersed and searched everywhere. When Yan Baozhu saw that the Regent was so wary of her, she couldn't help but feel timid.
He searched without appearing to be in a panic, but secretly he was thinking of escaping under the cover of night.
Ah Man's sinister eyes kept scanning the surroundings. When she saw that there was only a small path ahead with a few rocks standing on both sides, her eyes lit up slightly.
Holding a torch, he walked over to the young master who was searching for medicinal insects and said in a low voice, "Miss, do you see that path ahead? You will escape from there later. Don't worry about what happens next. Just run as fast as you can. I will do my best to buy you time."
Yan Baozhu's eyes widened upon hearing this. She then stood up and looked at her, whispering, "How can that be! If we're going, let's go together."
Although Ah Man is a servant, she was raised by this old slave since she was a child, and he treats her like a family member.
"Miss, we can't do whatever we want right now. If you want to keep your life, go find the clan leader and ask him to find a way to avenge the lady and the young master."
"But I'm worried about you!" Yan Baozhu said this while holding a torch and pretending to look for medicinal insects.
Upon hearing this, Ah Man looked at her with an extremely loving gaze: "With your words, it would be worth it even if I die. Miss, our revenge depends on you. Let's go!" After saying that, he grabbed her hand and ran towards the path not far ahead.
As they ran, the guards who had been watching them quickly chased after them, shouting, "The prisoner has escaped, chase them!"
