Xiao Liang calmly reassured him, "I know you're worried. Times like this require us to be cautious. Otherwise, we'll give those with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage."
Xie Miao suddenly realized and said, "Military Advisor, you're right. In that case, I'll go out and inspect it first. I'll leave the generalship to you, sir. I'll be back as soon as I'm done with my inspection."
Xiao Liang nodded slightly and said, "General, please go ahead and do your work. With Xiao here, nothing will go wrong."
Xie Miao had just left when Ou Yezi, who had heard the news, walked in. After glancing at the unconscious, mad man on the bed, he asked, "How is he?"
Xiao Liang glanced at the tightly closed door and raised his voice slightly, saying, "If I'm guessing correctly, he must have been poisoned."
Ou Yezi frowned slightly and asked, "Poisoned? Military Advisor, have you found anything?"
Xiao Liang said: "It's not a big discovery. I was just bored a few days ago when I was looking through the roster and found some interesting things."
Ou Yezi guessed, "Could it be that some people are missing, or someone is missing?"
Xiao Liang's lips curled slightly as he replied, "On the contrary, there was a new cook that no one had ever seen before. And after the general's accident, that inconspicuous soldier in the crowd completely disappeared."
Ou Yezi followed up on his words, saying, "Nine out of ten, he's the murderer. However, if it's Qingliang Valley, they've never had much contact with Miaojiang. Although Liang Shuyi has some connections with Miaojiang, those who live in seclusion in this corner are unwilling to get involved in this chaotic world."
Xiao Liang's speculation certainly made some sense, but if that were the case, then there would be more than one possible explanation for the murderer's identity: "Perhaps, it could be General Xie's enemy."
Xiao Liang was silent for a moment before he said, "The general does have many enemies, so this is not impossible."
After Xie Zhuangshui's incident, Xie Miao, seeing Xiao Liang's remarkable calmness, became more cautious. After Ou Yezi entered the house, he hid outside the door and eavesdropped. After hearing all this, he couldn't stay any longer and took his men to the kitchen to verify the truth of Xiao Liang's words.
Xiao Liang and Ou Yezi smiled at each other when they noticed Xie Miao had left. Ou Yezi smiled and said, "It seems he's gone."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liang stopped discussing Xie Zhuangshui's matter with him. Instead, he asked in an ambiguous tone, "What are your plans next?"
Ou Yezi shook his head slightly and said, "I know she's here, and she's nearby. It's inconvenient for me to show up. If I have nothing else to do, I'll stay in my room and try to avoid contact with them."
Xiao Liang added, "Xie Zhuangshui is now in this state. It's very likely that they were the ones who planned it. In my opinion, it won't be long before they come back again."
Ou Yezi was stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
"As soon as they show up, I'll catch them all in one fell swoop." Just as he finished speaking, Ou Yezi became excited when he heard Xiao Liang was going to attack Wang Ruo and the others. His face was solemn and he said, "I don't care what happens to the others, but Wang Ruo, you must not touch me."
Xiao Liang raised his eyebrows slightly and assured: "Don't worry, I know my limits. If I lose you as my helper, His Majesty will probably blame me."
Ou Yezi sneered upon hearing this and said, "Oh, why don't you think about what Xie Zhuangshui would think if he knew that you were the one planted by the Emperor of Nanyue to spy on him, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger."
Xiao Liang couldn't help but chuckle and looked up, "If he knew, he would definitely cut me into pieces, but right now, it's still a question whether he can wake up."
Everyone said that Xie Zhuangshui, who had just drawn his sword and shouted for war and killing, was a terrifying madman. However, he felt that the kind-faced man in front of him was the truly terrifying person. "Let's not talk about this nonsense. Since you can see that he has been poisoned, do you have any way to treat him?"
"I'm not sure what kind of Gu this is yet. Besides, I'm not an expert in this area, I just know a little bit. We'll have to wait and see what happens next." As he spoke, Xiao Liang searched the room for a while and found a small porcelain bottle. He removed the cork, took out a dagger, and slashed Xie Zhuangshui's palm.
Ou Yezi glanced down at Xiao Liang, who was collecting the blood in a small porcelain bottle, and said, "I'll be leaving now. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
Just as Ou Yezi turned around and prepared to leave, Xiao Liang stopped him and said, "Sir, take care."
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Xiao Liang asked with a smile, "It's not a big deal. I'm just a little curious why you suddenly turned to help South Vietnam. No matter how you look at it, it seems you don't have any absolute reason to help South Vietnam."
"...On the surface, it seems so." He didn't want too many people to know about his affairs. After all, judging by the people around Wang Ruo, the man she called "Sir" was the man who cared about her the most besides Hua Wuxin. She probably didn't remember anyone like her.
Xiao Liang said that he had been right from the start. This Ou Yezi was a man with a story. And his story was the reason that led him to South Vietnam. This reason could lead him to South Vietnam, but it also had the power to lead him to betray South Vietnam.
"Oh? Then I wonder if you could answer Xiao's doubts."
"There's no special reason," Ou Yezi said, and then he walked away, as if he didn't even want to leave Xiao Liang with a single glance.
After Ou Yezi left, a dark figure flashed in from the window. Xiao Liang played with the bottle of Xie Zhuangshui's blood and muttered to himself, "Interesting, truly interesting. This man holds something truly remarkable. If I can use it forever, that would be best. If not, I absolutely cannot let it fall into the hands of others."
This man in black, who was hiding in the dark and whose identity even Xie Zhuangshui and others did not know, was the secret "messenger" between Xiao Liang and South Vietnam.
"Sir, in this case, do you want me?"
"No need, let's wait and see. Right now, Xie Zhuangshui's matter is the most important. You should quickly pass this news to the Grand Tutor and see if he has any way to remove the poison from his body." As he spoke, Xiao Liang lightly tossed the small porcelain bottle in his hand and it landed steadily in the hands of the man in black.
"yes."
Just as if it was a rehearsal in the morning, Ou Yezi left and the man in black came. After the man in black left, another man in black who had been hiding his presence in the house and wearing a Qilin mask appeared in front of Xiao Liang.
