Hong Yu explained, "I only believe in what I see, hear, know, and feel. I don't care about anything else, so I don't believe in ghosts and gods. Of course, if I really saw ghosts and gods, then I would definitely believe in their existence."
Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that Miss Hong Yu, although she is young, has her own way of looking at things. It's really admirable."
Hong Yu was exhausted. Although she also liked to wander around, she had been at home for the past few years. Apart from taking walks on the hilltop near her home, she had to travel every day like this, and even fight in the evenings. She was exhausted physically. "Okay, enough nonsense. I have to go to bed. I've been traveling during the day, fighting in the evenings, and worrying at night for the past few days. I have a headache."
...These zombies that are giving everyone a headache, just as they now guess, come from South Vietnam, from the hands of Shi Zairong.
After Shi Zairong handed over the poisonous insects he brought as well as the specific usage and breeding methods to Xiao Liang, he no longer cared about these things and just waited for the results.
When Xiao Liang appeared again that day, his face was rosy, and it was obvious that he had good news to report: "How is it? Is the thing I gave you still useful?"
Xiao Liang expressed his delight. He originally thought that those were just some scary bugs, but he didn't expect the effect to be so amazing. They could be said to have shrouded Qingliang Valley in dark clouds again without spending a single soldier, or even spending too much time and energy.
"The Grand Tutor is surrounded by many talented people. Chen Xin and his group are almost unable to hold on. Although Qingliang Valley has blocked the news, the military camp is now in a state of panic. As for Qinghe County, they have already discovered the exact location of Princess Qinghe."
Although this was a good time to launch a surprise attack, Shi Zairong still had something else that interested him: "Let's harass them for a while longer. I want to see what Xiahou Qing is planning without telling us."
Xiahou Qing had already left town when Shi Zairong gave Xiao Liang the Gu worm. He had also privately told Xie Zhuangshui and Xiao Liang that he didn't trust Xiahou Qing. It just so happened that Xiahou Qing and Xie Zhuangshui weren't on good terms. Xie Zhuangshui couldn't help but be upset when he heard that his benefactor was actually on the same side as him.
After hearing what Shi Zairong said, Xiao Liang also suggested, "Should I send more people to secretly 'protect' Lord Xiahou?"
Shi Zairong played with the folding fan in his hand and said, "Xiahou Qing is a great contributor to Nanyue. His safety is very important."
"I understand," Xiao Liang said, and just as he was about to leave, he turned around and suddenly remembered something that had a lot to do with Shi Zairong: "Oh, there's one more thing I'm not sure if I should report it to you."
Shi Zairong waved his hand slightly and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hide it."
Xiao Liang bowed his head and said, "Miss Hong Yu from the Huangfu family seems to be in Shen Xin's team."
Shi Zairong was slightly stunned and asked, "Who are you talking about? Who from the Huangfu family?"
Xiao Liang said with some embarrassment: "It's Hong, Miss Hong Yu."
Hong Yu was Shi Zairong's fiancée. Although the marriage to the Huangfu family was largely due to political factors and a purposeful marriage of convenience, as a young man from the 21st century, he disapproved of sacrificing the happiness of his children for the benefit of two families.
However, after spending some time with Hong Yu, he, quite unconvinced, fell in love and accepted the marriage. The relationship between their two families was well-known in South Vietnam, so when Xiao Liang heard that Hong Yu was also in Shen Xin's team and had repeatedly helped Qingliang Valley, he hesitated for a long time before deciding to tell Shi Zairong.
Shi Zairong seemed to have a hundred thousand questions in his mind at this moment, and he kept asking questions: "When did she come to Liang State? She was involved with the people in Qingliang Valley. Does the Huangfu family know about it?"
Fortunately, during the time Xiao Liang hesitated about whether to tell Shi Zairong that Hong Yu was also there, he was cautious and spent a small amount of money to buy some information from the black market: "After I found Miss Hong Yu, I deliberately inquired about it. It seems that Miss Hong Yu's coming out was supported by the Huangfu family, and it seems that it is because of some old grudge."
Shi Zairong recalled for a moment and said, "Hong Yu did live in Liang State for a period of time when she was young. Let someone keep an eye out for her. Now that she's here, the number of poisonous corpses has been halved, and there's no need to harass them every day."
After saying that, he didn't forget to add, "Also, absolutely, you must not hurt her. And I don't want anyone else to know about her connection with Qingliang Valley."
"yes."
...After a long night, at daybreak, Chen Xin and his companions arrived at the stream that Hong Yu had discovered earlier. Hong Yu took out a magical little porcelain bottle and handed it to Chen Xin.
After instructing him and several other male companions to use the powder in the bottle to clean every corner of their bodies, he pointed in the direction downstream and said, "Second Master Shen, you guys go over there later. Shuyi and I will be here. After you finish washing up, the main things to look for are, first, any small wounds that have appeared recently on the body, and secondly, the smell. For the rest, you should pay close attention and gather any suspicious items together. I will take a look later."
Chen Xin nodded and said, "Well, you two should be careful. We are just downstream. If anything happens, be sure to call us immediately."
Liang Shuyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, with a master like Miss Hong Yu here, there will be no problem at all."
Half an hour later, people scattered upstream and downstream checked their own conditions and washed off the dirt on their bodies with the cool stream water. They all looked radiant.
After carefully checking everyone's luggage, Hong Yu didn't say anything. He just stood there with his chin in his hand, thinking. Chen Xin and Liang Shuyi looked at each other and asked softly, "How is it?"
Hong Yu glanced at him, then looked at the bag on the ground and said, "Strange, there's nothing strange about it. By the way, are you wearing any sachets or anything like that?"
Chen Xin said: "As for the sachet, there is nothing else except the wormwood bag from before."
Hong Yu suddenly realized something and took off the mugwort bag from her waist. She opened it and began to search carefully for anything she had seen before. After a while, she actually found a clue.
Hong Yu opened the medicine bag and removed the thread that sealed it. This was what she was looking for: "...Where did you get these sachets from?"
