Don't be too late!

Now that there are new patients in Yuzhou City, it means that the people who have been poisoned already know that someone in the city is against them.

Therefore, the next time will be even more important to race against time.

After the sun came up, Xu Rongrong put on a light yellow cloak and set off with Mu Ai.

It has to be said that the horseback riding skills learned in the hunting ground are finally put to use today.

The two rode horses to the city gate, and Xu Rongrong took out the customs clearance document he got from Xu Chaoqian.

Not surprisingly, the gate guard let the two people through.

After all, who could have the heart to stop a girl who traveled thousands of miles to find the mistress of the house and her bodyguards?

The two of them came all the way to the foot of Yushan Mountain, and Xu Rongrong got off the horse.

Muai led the horse to a secret place and tied it up, then carried the water bag and dry food on the horse's back on his back.

In the winter of Yushan, everywhere is bare.

Exposing yellow mottled land.

Therefore, Xu Rongrong's light yellow cloak blends into it, making it difficult for people to notice.

She and Mu Ai slowly walked up the Yu River. Not far away, they could see that the withered branches on both sides of the water bank had turned black.

Xu Rongrong knelt down to investigate carefully and nodded to Mu Ai:

These branches have been contaminated with poison, which is why they look like this.

Ahead is a deep forest, and some roads require bending to pass.

But in such a dense forest, along the way, you can see black poison-stained branches everywhere, as well as some dead birds and beasts, their bones glowing black.

Xu Rongrong took out two face coverings from his sleeves, put one on himself and handed the other to Mu Ai.

This was what she prepared before going up the mountain.

The veil was wrapped in herbs to protect against miasma and ordinary poisonous gases.

The two of them moved forward slowly, and in the distance, a pair of deep eyes were following their figures.

Along the way, they discovered several springs, but this did not stop them from moving forward.

Soon, we reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Luo Xiao told Xu Rongrong that the spring halfway up the mountain was the largest water source of the Yu River.

Sure enough, just as we approached the middle of the mountain, we could smell a strong stench.

Mu Ai quickly waved his hand to make Xu Rongrong stop, while he leaned over to take a closer look.

As soon as he turned the corner, a strange scene came into his eyes, which made the lieutenant general couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.

Where the water overflows, there are five or six strange-shaped black trees surrounding it.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blew, and a broken branch fell from the tree. After falling into the water, it disappeared immediately.

It's like being melted into water.

And those tall black trees are dark and slender, as if five or six foreign men are about to dance around the water source.

He walked over to see what kind of tree it was.

Then I heard Xu Rongrong shout: "Don't touch!"

He turned around suddenly and realized that Xu Rongrong had arrived at his side at some point. He said in horror: "Miss, it's dangerous here."

Xu Rongrong's eyes stared at those black trees, as if she hadn't heard anything.

In her previous life, she had seen it in a rare medicine book in the library of the Marquis of Weiyuan. It was a poison from the Western Regions called "Evil Flower"!

Its petals are like dead branches, and the fallen branches are their stamens. Once these stamens are eaten, people will be poisoned and die!

Looking at the tracks on the ground, four of the six "evil flowers" in front of us were recently transplanted.

Presumably, the poisoner had only planted two flowers before causing an epidemic throughout the city.

Now, in order to increase the dose of poison, four more plants were hurriedly moved.

She told Muai about this and ordered him: "Cut them off immediately. Be sure not to let the stamens fall into the water or splash on you."

Mu Ai nodded and warned: "Miss, please stay away."

Xu Rongrong knew in her heart that Mu Ai must have some concerns when she stood here, so she stood far away under a cliff.

Seeing this, Mu Ai flew up.

He did not use his sword to cut off the "evil flowers" one by one as Xu Rongrong thought, because then the stamens above the water source would most likely fall into the water.

He took a long breath, walked into the "Evil Flower", and used his inner strength to move the sword.

The impact of the sword energy dispersed the "evil flower", and none of the severed stamens fell into the water.

Mu Ai sheathed his sword and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Rongrong shout loudly: "Be careful behind you!"

He felt a gust of wind coming from behind him and immediately jumped aside.

It was a masked man in black with deep eyes. Seeing that he missed the target, he attacked again.

Muai struggled with him.

Xu Rongrong hid her body under the cliff, picked up a thick wooden branch, and held it in her hand.

I thought that if the man in black still had accomplices, I would fight him to the death.

While waiting nervously, I don’t know how much time passed.

The sound of fighting in the distance gradually disappeared, and Mu Ai also disappeared.

Xu Rongrong leaned out, but there was no one around.

But she couldn't run around, lest she miss Mu Ai.

Another hour or two passed.

Because their dry food and water bags were all on Mu Ai, Xu Rongrong was hungry and thirsty at the moment, guarding the source of the Yu River but not daring to drink indiscriminately. Who knows how much unexhausted poison of "evil flowers" there is?

Mu Ai never came back, presumably because he was in trouble.

So Xu Rongrong picked up the wooden stick he had just used for defense and slowly searched around.

The sun was slanting, so red that it stung her eyes.

She wanted to raise her hand to cover it, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a small white flower growing on the edge of the cliff.

It's winter now, why are there still flowers on the mountains?

She was a little confused and took dozens of steps forward, only to see more and more small white flowers sticking out from the edge of the cliff.

From a distance, the white clumps look like the bright moon.

Xu Rongrong was ecstatic: Moon Grass!It is the nemesis of "Evil Flower"!

She had read in a medicine book that "there must be an antidote to a poison within a hundred steps", but "evil flowers" are poisonous weeds from the Western Regions, and the antidote to moongrass is only found in the Western Regions. She does not believe the person who poisoned them. The antidote will also be transplanted.

But who would have thought that there is a real antidote on Yushan Mountain.

It just grows on a cliff and Mu Ai is not here. How can she get it?

If I go back and call Chu He...

But this time, who knows if the man in black will come back and destroy the Moon Grass?

Don't care!Xu Rongrong took off her cloak, picked up her skirt and tied it into a knot around her waist.

He tied the medicine bag around his waist, grabbed the protruding rocks on the cliff, and moved towards the moon grass little by little.

……

Xu Rongrong is not good at climbing. At this moment, it all depends on his spirit.

Her fingertips were soon worn out due to excessive exertion, but she continued to climb outwards as if she didn't notice.

When she caught the first moon grass, the sun had already set.

The shadow of the rising moon casts mottled spots on the moon grass, making these clusters of moon-white flowers more worthy of their name.

Xu Rongrong plucked the moon grass by the roots and filled her medicine bag bit by bit.

Under the reflection of the moon, the woman on the cliff was so busy that she didn't realize that the cold mountain wind had arrived.

Finished installing the last moon grass.

Xu Rongrong wanted to let go of her left hand that had been clinging to the cliff, but found that her fingers were already tightly clasped on the rocks, numb from the cold and unable to obey her orders.

She felt bad.

But no matter how hard he tried, his fingers just couldn't open freely.

And her left foot, which had been climbing on the stone, also lost feeling.

Her legs gradually became weak, and she smiled bitterly in her heart...

The next moment, his body lost its support and fell downwards.

Xu Rongrong knows...

It’s over.

With a wry smile, she fell from the cliff.

A life wasted.

Her throat was speechless.

But the next moment, a tall figure flew down with her.

Xu Rongrong felt like she was pulled into her arms by a strong force.

She opened her eyes that were stung by the wind.

Mu Rong.

he came!

He held her in his arms and rolled down together into the vast night.
