Chapter 183 Departure to the Magic Doctor Valley
"What for? To admire the moon, of course. It's a pity that the Prime Minister came back so early. But since you're here, why not join us?" Mu Chao, a typical person who likes to watch the fun and not mind making trouble, tried to sow discord.
Wei Xiaoran threw a flying knife at her with a cold look, and tightened his grip on Lin Qian's waist.
Lin Qian gasped and felt like her waist was about to be broken. Wei Xiaoran then realized that he had been too heavy-handed and quickly loosened his grip.
Lin Qian ignored Mu Chao and said to Wei Xiaoran: "He didn't do anything. This guy is mentally unstable. Let's ignore him and go back."
Wei Xiaoran nodded, hugged Lin Qian and flew down from the roof. Mu Chao watched the two of them leave, just chuckled, took two more sips of wine, and flew away.
After returning to the room, Wei Xiaoran let go of Lin Qian's waist, sat on the chair, crossed his arms, pursed his lips and frowned as he looked at Lin Qian with an expression that said, "Hurry up and coax me."
Lin Qian was amused. Wei Xiaoran looked like a child who was throwing a tantrum because he didn't get any candy.
"There's really nothing between us. We just happened to meet here, and then I asked him about some things." Lin Qian leaned over, grabbed Wei Xiaoran's sleeve, tugged at it, and smiled at him ingratiatingly.
Wei Xiaoran, who had been feeling a bit pent up and jealous, softened his heart immediately upon seeing Lin Qian like this and asked, "What did you find out?"
Now, Lin Qian became serious and told Wei Xiaoran everything Mu Chao had said.
After listening to this, Wei Xiaoran stood up and paced back and forth in the room. He frowned and said, "I've heard people say before that the eldest prince seems to have a eunuch who knows kung fu. His surname is Zhang.
But since the Emperor ascended the throne and the eldest prince was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, this eunuch Zhang has disappeared. I don’t know what happened after that.”
"You mean that Eunuch Zhang is no longer in the palace? In this case, the clue is broken. Eunuch Zhang and the eldest prince are both missing. We don't know what they want to do. We are really too passive." Lin Qian also frowned and said.
After a moment of silence in the room, Wei Xiaoran continued, "Although we don't know what the eldest prince and the Western Xia Kingdom are trying to do, they have the Poison King Jiang Xu's handwritten note, and the poison is so tricky that we have to be on guard.
I will inform the Emperor of this news tomorrow, and then we will prepare to head to the Magic Doctor Valley to see if they have a way to break Jiang Xu's poison."
Lin Qian nodded in agreement. She had seen the poisons of the Poison King before. If all the poisons recorded in his notes were of this kind, it would be terrible.
The next day, Wei Xiaoran entered the palace early and came back at noon. Lin Wu and Lin Shuo also came.
"What do you think? What does the emperor mean?" Lin Qian looked at the three of them and asked.
Wei Xiaoran said, "This time the incident was quite serious. So many people witnessed the bloody scene at the city gate tower, causing quite a panic.
Now, everyone from the civil and military officials to the common people is in a state of panic. The emperor also wants us to set off immediately to the Demonic Doctor Valley."
"You should set off this afternoon, but you must dress in disguise and not let any news leak out. You must go and come back quickly." Lin Wu said.
Lin Qian frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, then Shuo Shuo and I will go together. It's just the two of us, so it won't attract attention. We can tell others that I was hit hard and went into seclusion to research an antidote."
"I'm going too. The emperor said that I failed to do my job well this time and I'm guilty. He wants me to reflect on my mistakes at home for a month. I can go with you." Wei Xiaoran said quickly.
With such a big incident, someone had to take the blame. Unfortunately, Wei Xiaoran was the unlucky guy.
"Then let's go together. We'll set off in the evening." Lin Qian said.
Lin Shuo asked, "What about Mu Chao? Isn't he going with us?"
When Mu Chao was mentioned, Wei Xiaoran looked unhappy, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Lin Qian.
Lin Qian said: "Don't worry about him, if he wants to go, he will definitely follow."
Facts proved that what Lin Qian said was right. In the evening, the three of them disguised themselves as servants and sneaked out of the house through the back door.
After going out, the three of them dispersed, walked around the city for a while, changed their clothes, and finally left the capital under the twilight.
The three of them met outside the city. Not long after they left, they met Mu Chao, who was leisurely riding a horse and seemed to be waiting for them. Surprisingly, there was another person following him, Meng Ziling.
"Senior Brother? Why are you here?" Lin Qian and the other two were stunned when they saw Meng Ziling and asked.
Meng Ziling rolled his eyes to the sky, and then Mu Chao answered for him: "I was the one who found him."
"You're talking nonsense! Are you looking for me? It was clearly you who kidnapped me, you robber! Bandit!" Meng Ziling shouted at Mu Chao.
Mu Chao didn't care at all. He touched his nose and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this a special period, special treatment? Okay, stop being awkward."
"Hmph!" Meng Ziling slapped Mu Chao hard on the back of his head.
Lin Qian frowned and looked at Mu Chao with a cold expression, "What on earth do you want to do by bringing my senior brother here?"
Mu Chao still looked nonchalant, and said with a smile: "Your medical skills are impeccable, but you have no knowledge of poisons, so we have to find someone who knows about poisons, otherwise how are we going to find an antidote?
I originally wanted to ask Bai Hongfeng to go with me, but he is old and can't stand the fatigue of the journey. What if he burps on the way? So I forcibly abducted his adopted son, your senior brother.
Lin Qian thought about it and found it made sense. She really had no knowledge of poison.
Thinking of this, Lin Qian looked at Meng Ziling, only to see that she still had a grief-stricken expression on her face, her mouth closed like a river clam, and she was determined not to look at Mu Chao.
Looking at the relationship between the two, it seemed like something bad had happened.
Lin Qian said: "Brother, since you already know the situation, please come with us." Since they were already here, Lin Qian naturally would not let Meng Ziling go back.
Meng Ziling nodded: "I understand." Just like that, the original group of three suddenly became a group of five.
The five of them didn't waste too long and set off immediately after making things clear.
On the way, Lin Qian thought of Mu Xi and asked Mu Chao, "You're here like this, what will happen to Mu Xi? Who will take care of her?"
Mu Chao replied, "Ajie's health has improved a lot now. She can be awake for a short while every day. I asked someone to take care of her. She will be fine."
Lin Qian didn't say much, but continued to ask: "Where is the Demonic Doctor Valley? Is it far away?"
Lin Qian and others have no idea about the sects and clans in the martial arts world. The only person they can rely on now is Mu Chao, a man from the martial arts world.
