Femoron thought for a moment, then sheathed his sword. Seeing this, everyone else followed suit.
Regardless of whether Xiao Yanchu and his group killed the person, if this matter were to reach the King, the King would certainly not confront Xiao Yanchu over the death of a mere strategist.
Moreover, they really had no evidence at all.
Fei Molong glanced at Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin, both of whom looked at him calmly.
His calm gaze reminded Femoron of a cheetah lurking in the forest, waiting for its chance to strike.
Only then did Femoron remember Su Ruojin's identity.
It wasn't her status as the Regent's wife, but rather her mastery of medicine and witchcraft, and her skill in using silver needles was unparalleled.
If they really started fighting, he couldn't guarantee that he could kill Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin at the same time in one move.
If he couldn't kill both of them at the same time, Fei Molong believed that both Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin would have ways to make them pay the price.
This is not because Femoron looks down on himself or thinks highly of others.
He was, after all, a general leading troops, and sometimes he had to objectively analyze the situation. Blind optimism and arrogance only led to utter defeat.
Feimolong could avenge Yaolan, but he would never risk his life for Chen Fu, nor would he gamble his life for his subordinates becoming crippled.
He had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Femoron understands the principle that as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Seeing that Fei Molong stopped speaking, Xiao Yanchu helped Su Ruojin leave, throwing Fei Molong a sentence, "Brave King, I kindly offer you a piece of advice: don't act too impulsively, or you'll easily make a fool of yourself."
"You!" Femoron couldn't catch his breath. If the people below hadn't been holding him back, he really would have attacked.
Once inside the carriage, Xiao Yanchu asked Su Ruojin with great concern, "How are things on your end?"
Su Ruojin said with a faint smile, "Fei Molong has gone to great lengths to get rid of me, even bringing in the Five-Star Lotus and the Lover's Curse."
"What is this?" Xiao Yanchu had never heard of it before.
Su Ruojin explained, "The Five-Star Lotus and the Lover's Lotus are two different kinds of flowers. One blooms like small white stars, while the other has two flowers on one stem, like twin lotus flowers, except one is blue and the other is purple."
These two flowers are not common, and they look quite nice on their own. But when placed together, their alternating fragrances create a unique aroma.
This fragrance can soothe the nerves and help people sleep, calming the mind, but it is poisonous to pregnant women.
Its fragrance can damage the brain of the fetus in the womb, causing stillbirth, miscarriage, and death from excessive blood loss in the pregnant woman.
Xiao Yanchu's face darkened upon hearing this. Su Ruojin continued, "Not only the flowers, but the sugar powder sprinkled on the apricot preserves they sent also contained a 'qi-dispelling powder'."
While it may be beneficial for ordinary people to consume it to relieve internal stagnation, it can exacerbate the risk of miscarriage in pregnant women, especially when combined with the fragrance of Five-Star Lotus and Lover's Curse.
"The Qi-Dissolving Powder is one thing, but the Five-Star Lotus and the Lover's Curse aren't things you can just find anywhere."
Xiao Yanchu laughed in anger, "Very well, this Valiant King is really cunning."
“Feimolong doesn’t understand medicine, so how could he have thought of these things? It must have been someone else who gave him the advice,” Su Ruojin said.
Xiao Yanchu also realized what was going on, "You mean Chen Fu?"
"perhaps."
However, Chen Fu is already dead, so it doesn't matter whether it was him or not.
"I wonder how Xiao Bao is doing now." Su Ruojin was very worried when she thought of Xiao Bao, who had been taken away by Qin Buyu and whom she had not heard from since.
"With Master here, there's nothing to worry about. However, the Northern King will soon regret sending Qin Wang to hunt down Master and Yi'er." Xiao Yanchu smiled coldly.
Night.

It will be about ten days' journey to Mohan.
