Lin Jinghan immediately asked nervously, "Did he find out that you poisoned him?"
Ran Chenghong was quite confident in his skills. "The poison I chose is colorless and odorless. The person who is poisoned will not feel anything. Even if he is not poisoned for some reason I don't know, he will definitely not notice it."
Lin Jinghan finally felt relieved, but when she thought about how complicated this emperor was, she suggested to be cautious:
"How about you tell the emperor that my poison hasn't been completely cured and that you need to go back and get a medicine. That way he won't make things difficult for you."
Ran Zizhen couldn't keep up with the pace. He scratched his head and asked, "Is this emperor so powerful that even my father can't poison him?"
"Zizhen, you should know that poison is not omnipotent. Some special skills and magic weapons can make people immune to all poisons." Ran Chenghong explained patiently.
The three of them discussed it for a while until Lin Jinghan's poison was almost cured, and then Ran Chenghong got up and left the room.
The emperor had been waiting outside. When he saw them come out, he quickly asked, "Senior Medicine King, how is Miss Lin?"
Ran Chenghong looked at the emperor twice more, but still couldn't see what secrets were hidden in him. He followed his plan and said:
"This poison is too overbearing. Fortunately, I have medicine that can detoxify it in the Medicine King Valley. Her poison is under control now. I will go back to get the medicine and make the antidote to bring to her. Then she will be completely detoxified."
The emperor looked worried. "The poison hasn't been cured yet. I'm really worried about the doctors at the Imperial Hospital. If you all leave, what will happen if Miss Lin gets into trouble? I heard that your son used to be with Prince Jingnan and has great medical skills. For Miss Lin's safety, how about Senior Medicine King go back to get the medicine and make it, while your son stays to take care of Miss Lin?"
What an emperor, is he trying to keep his son as a hostage? The Medicine King was displeased.
"The poison that this Valley Master has controlled will no longer endanger the patient's life. There is no need for a doctor to watch over him. Your Majesty need not worry."
The emperor nodded. "In that case, I am relieved. Senior Medicine King, please go and return quickly."
Ran Chenghong glanced at the emperor and saw that he looked sincere. It seemed that he had misunderstood the emperor. He nodded and pulled Ran Zizheng away.
The emperor made another gesture, and the Martial Saint who had previously teleported him reappeared.
"Go, guard the Xingqing city gate and don't let them get in to tip off the enemy." The emperor ordered.
Ran Zizhen and Ran Chenghong walked out of the palace gate, left the range of the palace's formation, and teleported away.
But they didn't return to Medicine King Valley, instead heading towards Xingqing. Unexpectedly, as soon as they appeared in Xingqing, several people appeared around them and blocked their way. "Xingqing doesn't allow anyone above the rank of Grandmaster to enter right now. Please leave."
Ran Chenghong looked towards the city gate. Normally, all cities had a first-level city defense formation in place, which could prevent people from entering and leaving, but could not prevent people from communicating.
At this moment, Xingqing's formation had already been opened to the second level, isolating the transmission of internal and external information.
Ran Chenghong didn't want to get involved, so he took out the Jingnan King's token that Lin Jinghan had given him, and said, "Here is the Jingnan King's token."
They had originally respected him as a Martial Saint, but the moment they saw the Jingnan King's token, their expressions changed instantly. "Rules are rules, and no one can be exempted!"
If Ran Chenghong wanted to deliver a message to Lin Jinghan, he had to enter the city. Since they wouldn't let him, he had no choice but to force his way in.
"Anyone who stops me will die!" A powerful pressure spread out in an instant, making everyone at the city gate unable to move.
At the same time, Ran Chenghong pulled Ran Zizheng and flew quickly towards the city gate, but was blocked by the barrier at the city gate.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to waste your time. No one above the level of Grand Master can enter the barrier here." A cold and indifferent voice came from above the city gate.
Ran Chenghong looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man sitting on the city gate. He was also a Martial Saint! The most important thing was that he didn't recognize this Martial Saint!
Ran Chenghong hadn't expected such a small town to be guarded by a Martial Saint. He sneered, "A Martial Saint is actually guarding someone else's door."
The man smiled indifferently and said, "I advise you not to force your way in."
Ran Chenghong always does things as he pleases. Not to mention that there is only one Martial Saint opposite him, even if there is one more, he is not afraid at all!
Just when he was about to force his way in, Ran Zizhen stopped him, looked at the man innocently and asked, "Well, I'm not a Grandmaster, can I go in?"
The man looked at Ran Zizhen and warned him, "Boy, it's very dangerous to go out and leave your family."
"I'm not afraid. Just tell me if I can go in." In order to prove that he was brave, Ran Zizhen let go of Ran Chenghong's hand and took two steps forward.
"Of course." The man smiled maliciously.
Ran Zizhen's courage was commendable, and Ran Chenghong was very pleased. He supported his shoulders and secretly gave him a life-saving magic weapon, "Zizhen, be careful in everything."
Ran Zizheng walked towards the city gate and passed through the barrier easily. The people guarding the city gate did not make things difficult for him.
But the smoother things went, the more bad premonition Ran Chenghong had in his heart. He couldn't always stay by his son's side, and now that he was in jail, everything depended on him.
He could only comfort himself: Zizhen carried a lot of poison pills and magic weapons with him, and King Jingnan was in the city. As long as he could find King Jingnan as soon as possible, he would be safe.
He flew up to the clouds and waited quietly.
The Martial Saint at the city gate was meditating with his eyes closed, as if he didn't care about what had just happened.
After entering the city, Ran Zizhen immediately went to find someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Prince Jingnan. Before he could get any useful information, he was surrounded by a group of people. The leading captain ordered: "We have orders from above. This man is a spy from the enemy country. Capture him!"
Ran Zizhen was extremely nervous, but after all, he had followed Sikong Zhan in battles for a long time, so he wasn't really stage-frightened. He forced himself to remain calm and took out the token, "I am from the Jingnan Palace, not a spy from the enemy country."
The captain's eyes became even more ferocious when he saw the token. "Stealing the token is a serious crime. Capture it immediately. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
A group of people attacked in an instant. Ran Zizhen resisted hurriedly while using poison pills.
Bang!
The poison pill exploded, and the people who besieged him immediately covered their faces and retreated. Ran Zizheng picked a direction at random, broke through a gap at the cost of injuries, and quickly escaped.
"Chase!" The captain took a detoxification pill first and chased after Ran Zizhen.
Ran Zizheng knew that there was no way he could escape from these people, so he crushed a jade pendant without hesitation - the jade pendant that Lin Jinghan had given him in the palace and that Sikong Zhan had given her for help.
