Chapter 449: Shock
"You are quite well-informed."
Ripple said sarcastically.
"How many people have you arranged to enter the Han Kingdom?"
Ripple continued to ask.
“No, I don’t know.”
Lianyi was not satisfied with the other party's answer. He brought the Lei Yao sword in his hand close to the other party's neck. Immediately, a blood mark appeared. Red blood flowed down the other party's neck, and his collar was instantly dyed red.
"I really don't know! We all entered the Han Kingdom separately."
Lianyi glanced at the other person lightly, and the Lei Yao sword directly slashed across the other person's neck, reuniting the other person with his companions.
Wang Zhenzhen, who had watched the entire process from the second floor, turned around and said to the boy, whose face was flushed with excitement:
"Take us to the room."
"Yes! Please come this way, distinguished guest!"
Although it was not the first time that Wang Yaozu saw Lian Yi take action, his legs were still a little weak. He followed Madam Zhen with unsteady steps and quickly went to the designated upper room.
Everyone in the inn who was watching the fun was observing how the situation would develop. Even though these three people were the ones who committed the crime, the woman in red was indeed too cruel as she took their lives with just one move.
However, thinking that these three people were spies from the Mongolian country and their purpose was to find the treasure that had been rumored recently, they really had no right to blame each other.
Lian Yi didn't care what the people around her thought. She just threw a banknote to the proprietress and said:
"This is compensation for breaking your stairs. By the way, I'll deal with these three bodies!"
The proprietress saw Lian Yi's ruthlessness and immediately put the broad-backed sword back on the counter. She raised her hand to catch the light silver note and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, lady! No one will dare to cause trouble to you if you live in my Zhenyi's place. Besides, these spies from the Mongolian country are so arrogant. Even if you don't kill them, I won't let them leave my store smoothly."
The proprietress who called herself Zhen Yi quickly stuffed the silver note of one hundred taels into her sleeve and called out to the kitchen. Three burly men came out, each carrying a corpse, and left through a side door.
The boy who sent Wang Zhenzhen back to her room had already run downstairs, took a ladder and a hammer, and started repairing the stairs with bang bang bang.
The guests in the inn who were watching the situation closed their doors and started talking to each other in low voices.
After Lianyi returned to the room, she said to Wang Zhenzhen and Wang Yaozu:
"When this sandstorm passes, we will set off and leave. The people here are not good people. Even that child smells of blood."
After hearing this, Wang Yaozu shuddered unconsciously. He had never thought that a child of eleven or twelve years old could have killed someone.
"Zu girl, didn't you notice just now that when the three Mongolians died, the child didn't scream or shout, and his expression was very excited. It shows that death is a common occurrence here."
Lianyi looked at Wang Yaozu who had a conflicted look on his face and explained helplessly.
"Then we'd better leave as soon as possible."
"I took decisive action just now, firstly because the other party was trying to take advantage of me, secondly because he was a spy from the Mongolian country, and finally to intimidate the people here."
"You did the right thing. You should plan ahead for everything and reduce your risks. I didn't expect that a fabricated treasure map would attract the Mongolians."
Wang Zhenzhen sighed.
"We need to raise troops, and so do they. If we can use Han's gold and silver to raise their troops, they will be happy to do so and will definitely get involved. It's just that they are too well-informed."
Ripple said thoughtfully.
"We'll talk about everything when we get to Longxi."
Wang Zhenzhen said directly.
In the imperial city, Eunuch Yu brought the "poison doctor master" Huo Mian to meet Princess Xiangyi.
"Princess Xiangyi, His Majesty has always been concerned about your injury, so he sent people to search for famous doctors all over the world, and found this Doctor Huo Mian. He is a low-key person but has superb medical skills. After reading the diagnosis of the princess by the Imperial Hospital, he asserted that he could cure your injury, so His Majesty specially allowed him to enter the palace to treat you."
"My name is Huo Mian, nice to meet Princess Xiangyi!"
Huo Mian, dressed in a white robe, bowed respectfully.
"Can you really heal my face?"
Xiangyi was obviously a little skeptical. After all, it had been six years and the injuries on her face had not improved at all. They made her more and more haggard. The imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were helpless. She didn't think this quack doctor could cure her face.
Huo Mian had already received the emperor's instructions, so he was not angry when questioned. Instead, he smiled and explained:
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take down the notice. After reading the records of the imperial physician, I am more confident."
"really?"
“Really? Actually, the imperial physician should be able to cure your injury. It’s just that because you are a royal family, they didn’t dare to use strong or drastic drugs. They were afraid that they would be held responsible if something went wrong, so it took so long.
I can guarantee that after taking one dose of medicine, the princess's wound will heal and will not recur, but it will be very painful. Can the princess bear it? If you can't help scratching, even a great immortal can't heal the wound on your face."
Huo Mian asked seriously.
"Don't worry, even if my hands and feet are tied, I will definitely endure it."
There was light in Xiangyi's eyes. This kind of half-human and half-ghost life was finally coming to an end. No matter how painful it was, she would endure it.
"Okay, since the princess has confidence, I will definitely not let her down. I will make a list and start preparing the medicine. You can use the medicine in three days. Please fast during these three days to avoid conflicts with the medicine."
"Okay, I'll wait."
Xiangyi then turned around and said to Eunuch Yu beside her:
"Eunuch Yu, please tell the Emperor brother that he is worried about this. When Xiangyi's face is better, I will thank him in person and share his worries."
"I will definitely pass on the princess's words. Now that we have a miracle doctor, the princess can just rest and recover. You can go directly to the Imperial Hospital to get the herbs you need."
Afterwards, Eunuch Yu took Huo Mian away from the princess's palace. After all, he was a foreign man and it was not appropriate for him to stay in the princess's palace.
The emperor was currently reading the news sent back by the leader of the secret guards of Group C. He had already sorted out the route for human trafficking across the Han and Mongolian countries. They had also thoroughly surveyed the Mongolian outposts along the way and had replaced them with their own people. As long as the emperor gave the order, they could proceed to the next step.
"Send a message to Team C. For the time being, do not let Mongolia find out that this route has fallen into our hands. Start sending people to sneak into Mongolia now. There is no need to gather information. They just need to hide. When the two countries go to war, they will create chaos in Mongolia."
The emperor has already grasped the initiative, so he decided to make arrangements first, otherwise it would be too late when the two countries go to war.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When the secret guard left, Eunuch Yu came in, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, the poison doctor has already met with Princess Xiangyi and persuaded her to cooperate with the treatment. I believe there will be results in three days."
"Well, keep an eye on him. The poison doctor is a man of the world after all. Don't let him run around."
"yes!"
