He reached out, pulled out the heart, and tossed it to Su Wanyan.
"Ah—" Su Wanyan was startled and immediately dodged.
The dried blood from the heart fell to the ground with a "thud".
Xiao Chensheng: "..."
Su Wanyan: "..."
"Why are you hiding?" Xiao Chensheng's smile was serious, and his displeasure was evident.
"I...you're not afraid of dirt! I am! And I'm also afraid of cadaver bacteria! What if I get infected! I'm not like you, looking even more toxic than a corpse! I need to get a pair of gloves and change into a special set of clothes first!"
"..."
"Come again tomorrow! I haven't prepared anything today!"
"With me here, what are you afraid of?" I'll heal her even if she's dead.
"No way! I have professional ethics! I won't treat them like you do!"
"..." Should we offer them some more incense?
Xiao Chensheng's face broke into a bulging smile as he asked, "Then what brings you here?"
Su Wanyan felt a tightness in her chest, opened her mouth, but was unable to speak.
Xiao Chensheng's smile was serious and chilling: "Pick it up."
"..." Su Wanyan stared at his smiling face, then suddenly seemed to have made up her mind. She lowered her eyes, bent down, and obediently picked up the heart from the ground.
This place can be considered one of Xiao Chensheng's strongholds in the Great Jin Dynasty.
Just as he said, it's easy to find corpses here, whether from the East Sea or the Great Jin.
His medical skills are unconventional, so they require extensive experimental support.
Besides this place, or rather, besides the Great Jin Dynasty, he also established strongholds in other countries.
He had set up arrays around these hidden strongholds, making them inaccessible to most people who were not skilled in Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination and strategy).
Let alone getting in, we can't even find the way.
This is why Su Wanyan felt the carriage was turning, but when she lifted the curtain, she found it was traveling on a straight road.
Meanwhile, Xiaobu and Tanaka were anxiously pacing around where the carriage had disappeared.
They had clearly seen the carriage stop, so they did as Xiao Chensheng had said and did not approach it again.
But in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the carriage suddenly disappeared.
Xiao Bu and Tian Zhong were anxious. They searched the area, but couldn't find the carriage, not even a wheel on the ground.
Su Wanyan had warned them long ago that Xiao Chensheng could make people see illusions, and it seems they have fallen for his trap.
With no other options, Xiaobu and Tanaka could only stand where the carriage had disappeared and wait.
On the other side, at the border between the East China Sea and the Great Jin Dynasty.
Yu Nanqing mustered 30,000 troops, boarded ships, and went straight into the Nirvana River.
At the border between the two countries, the Jin Dynasty's side is a landscape of plains, hills, and rocky mountains, while the other side, across the East Sea, is separated by a wide river.
The garrison in the East China Sea was located on a city island. The island was inhabited by civilians, stationed with East China Sea troops, and had markets, wealthy merchants, and a considerable number of local residents. Compared to the desolation of Wengcheng in the Great Jin Dynasty, this city island in the East China Sea was very lively.
Mountains rise majestically in the middle of the river, and the riverbed is treacherous and complex. The mountains are like a maze, and once you enter, it is difficult to find your way back.
After crossing the river and the island, you will enter a region called Nitrous Oxide.
There is a safe and stable sea route across the saltwater from the island.
However, if one does not pass through the city island and instead travels through the surrounding mountains, the area one enters becomes shrouded in mist.
The seawater is dark and murky, with islands in the middle. It is so quiet during the day that it is maddening, and at night you can't see your hand in front of your face. If the sea breeze blows, the seawater will surge into waves. If the weather is bad, it is possible for tens of thousands of lives to be lost in an instant.
Three years ago, Yu Nanqing built ships and trained a navy in order to compete with the East China Sea Navy, but he was tricked into a saltwater abyss and suffered a crushing defeat.
However, now it is Yu Nanqing who has taken the initiative to lead his troops into the East China Sea.
When Feng Lingxu received this message, he was visibly stunned. He even lost his appetite and frowned, "Yu Nanqing led troops into Xiaoshui?"
He had the same reddish-brown hair as Feng Lingxiao, but compared to Feng Lingxiao's natural and wild curls, his curls were more like steel wool, messy and dull.
He looked to be over thirty, and his tanned skin concealed a scar on his face quite well.
His stubble looked meticulously trimmed, and his eyes were fierce and piercing. He looked much more rugged than Feng Lingxiao, and had a very imposing presence.
Feng Lingxu was skeptical: "Is the news accurate?"
The messenger was Feng Lingxu's deputy, named Tang Fu, who was Feng Lingxu's right-hand man.
He replied sternly, "The information is accurate."
After saying this, he paused slightly before continuing, "Your Highness, don't you think Yu Nanqing is courting death? He was defeated by Xiaoshui three years ago, and now he dares to come again."
He knelt down respectfully and pleaded, "Your Highness, please order me to go to Xiaoshui. I will bring you Yu Nanqing's head!"
Nitrous oxide is the most powerful barrier to prevent enemy forces from invading the East China Sea. Without someone familiar with the terrain to guide them, ordinary people simply cannot leave that sea area.
For them, fighting there was the perfect combination of timing, location, and support. Having failed to take Yu Nanqing's life three years ago, they were determined not to miss this opportunity.
Tang Fu had a good plan, but Feng Lingxu was very cautious.
He asked, "Any news from the spies sent to the Great Jin?"
Tang Fu paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes: "I haven't received a reply yet."
Feng Lingxu slammed his chopsticks down: "No need to wait any longer, they've probably already been poisoned."
"No way, they disguised themselves as a caravan, left quietly, and their appearances were exactly the same as those of the Great Jin Dynasty, making them difficult to detect. How could they have been discovered so quickly?"
According to Feng Lingxiao and Feng Yao, Yu Nanqing was very fond of his princess. Because of the disappearance of Princess Gong, Yu Nanqing even injured Feng Lingxiao, who was an envoy.
Now that the monarch of the Great Jin Dynasty has passed away and the secret connection with the East Sea has been severed, Feng Lingxu wants to use Su Wanyan to restrain Yu Nanqing.
Therefore, his feigned attack on the Great Jin was to allow his personally trained spies to infiltrate Wengcheng.
Moreover, the spies sent to Da Jin were divided into several groups. Even if one group was discovered, there would be a second group to provide backup. Feng Lingxu did not understand how Su Wanyan could possibly kill all of his people without even a trace, even if she had guards around her.
"Now that Yu Nanqing has entered the saltwater, Your Highness, this is a great opportunity. Even if we don't capture Princess Gong, we can still make Yu Nanqing perish in the East China Sea!" Tang Fu said excitedly.
This was indeed a rare opportunity, and even though Feng Lingxu was cautious, he didn't want to miss it.
His brow furrowed: "Tang Fu, I order you to guard this place. As for Yu Nanqing, I will go and meet him personally."
Tang Fu's eyes lit up: "Yes!"
If Your Highness goes in person, Yu Nanqing will surely die.
Wengcheng, a mansion.
When Su Wanyan returned, the plaque of the mansion had been changed to read "Prince Gong's Mansion".
Following Xiao Chensheng that day, I wasn't particularly tired; on the contrary, I was quite excited.
