Poison Lady hurriedly said, "It has been sprinkled with soul-chasing powder."
Ji Mingyan took out a porcelain bottle from his arms: "Soul-chasing insect."
Wu Wei'an took it and threw it to Xue Zhu: "Go and take a look, don't alarm anyone, find out where their nest is and come back."
Xuezhu: "Okay."
He took the soul-chasing insect and left in a hurry.
Ji Mingyan looked at Wu Weian's injury and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you want me to bandage you?"
After thinking for a moment, he added, "I shouldn't hurt the wound this time."
Wu Wei'an: "No need, you guys go ahead and get busy."
After saying this, he turned and left, walking towards Ji Yunxi who was standing at the entrance of the cave.
The inner and outer parts are like half of a concentric circle.
Ji Yunxi withdrew her gaze and fell on Wu Weian's left shoulder.
Ji Yunxi: "Are you okay?"
Wu Wei'an: "Not bad."
Wu Wei'an: "What about you?"
Ji Yunxi: "I'm fine too."
The two were silent for a moment, and Ji Yunxi said, "Shall I bandage you?"
Wu Wei'an said softly, "Okay."
Wu Weian found a place to sit down, and Ji Yunxi took a pair of scissors and cut open the fabric around the wound on his left shoulder.
Stop the bleeding, sprinkle medicine powder, and wrap it with cloth tape.
Wu Weian watched quietly.
Her technique was very skillful, as if she had done it countless times, and her method of wrapping the tape was different from others.
Wu Wei'an asked, "Why do you know this?"
Ji Yunxi: “I’ve learned it.”
Wu Wei'an: "Why would you learn it?"
Ji Yunxi was silent for a moment, her eyes slightly lost, and she recalled some past events: "Because it is necessary."
She didn't say much, looked at the direction Xuezhu had just left, and asked, "Can you find it?"
Wu Wei'an pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say, that person is very cautious."
The emperor was able to successfully seize the throne and stir up trouble in the capital twenty-three years ago. How could he be a simple person?
The emperor either does not take action, or if he does, it is definitely a killing move.
What Wu Weian could think of, the emperor could also think of.

As the night deepened, the Beishan Sword Sect suffered heavy losses today, and the sect leader was tragically killed by Wu Weian's sword.
The swordsman hiding below received an order to stay out of the spotlight and make long-term plans.
They went ashore under the cover of night, flew between cliffs, circled around, and headed deep into the distant mountains.
There were low voices of conversation, echoing in the forest at night.
"You're overthinking it again. You should know our mission."
"But those people..."
"We are just following orders. This has nothing to do with you or me. Even if there is a hell after death, the blame will be placed on the head of the sect leader and his men. We are also trying to survive, what's wrong with that?! Don't think too much, what's the point? Change your clothes."
Several swordsmen stopped in a small cave, took off their clothes, changed into new clothes, and sprayed medicine powder on their bodies to prevent being tracked.
Ji Mingyan is best at dealing with poisonous creatures such as soul-chasing insects.
Therefore, during this trip, they took detoxification pills from their hair every day, and they had to change their clothes when going in and out.
One of them, the one who was said to be 'thinking too much', subconsciously glanced to the side while taking the new clothes.
That's where you put your old clothes.
It was completely dark, and the cave was even darker. The man took a piece of old clothes from the pile of old clothes.
He didn't know if there was anything on top of it.
Maybe, maybe not.
He didn't know what he was doing either.
But he only did this once.
Life or death depends on this one moment.
The man changed his clothes, and several people left the cave, walked into the rain, and continued to fly forward.
The rain was still falling, and both the dry new clothes and the old wet clothes were wet, and it was impossible to tell which was new and which was old.
Several people came to the cave hidden in the deep mountains and forests in silence.
This cave was carefully selected by them in advance. It was hidden deep enough and had openings on all sides to facilitate escape.
The atmosphere tonight is particularly solemn.
The leader died tragically and all eight elders were injured.
The Beishan Sword Sect has more than a thousand disciples, and almost all of them are here this time.
But in just a few days, they suffered heavy casualties, with only two or three hundred people left.
Elder Xie took over the order of the head of the sect, and he and the other seven elders continued to plot.
He had tasted the benefits during the day, and his eyes were filled with malice. "The previous master ordered us not to attack the civilians, but in my opinion, if we want to kill the Ji and Wu families, confronting them directly will be disadvantageous to us! Did you see when that maid died just now? We were too kind before, which led to the heavy losses! Starting tomorrow, we will attack the civilians, their servants and maids. Watch out, the Ji family will definitely come to rescue us, and we will seize the opportunity to kill them! If necessary, we can even use the civilians as shields!"
The other elders hesitated slightly: "Is this the Lord's order?"
Elder Xie said, "It's okay, the Lord won't blame me."
The eight of them discussed it in detail for a while, and after deciding on a plan for tomorrow, they lay down in a corner to rest and recuperate.
It was already the middle of the night and the rain was still falling, as if it would never stop.
The wind howled and thunder and lightning flashed.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the tree in front of the cave, causing it to fall to the ground with a noise.
The sleepy cave keeper suddenly woke up and looked in that direction.
In the flash of lightning, he saw the person standing under the tree.
Many people, countless people.
They are so densely packed that I don't know when they started hiding behind the trees.
They ran quickly towards the cave entrance, shrinking the encirclement smaller and smaller, and then, they surrounded the entire cave tightly!
Wu Weian, Ji Minghao, Ji Mingshuang, Wanxiang, Du Niangzi, Xuezhu, and Yuan Guanshi stood in a corner respectively, standing in front of the Ji family army, with faces as cold as a rainy night, as if they were ghosts.
There was someone in the cave who had not slept yet. When the cave guard shouted, he was the first to get up.
