Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Feng Qingluan walked towards an older villager.

"Uncle, I heard that there is a herb called Water Mantuo in Shuangfeng Mountain. I want to ask, do you know where it is? Or where are the lakes and mountain streams in this mountain?"

Water Mantuo likes shade and usually grows in humid places.

The master looked at Feng Qingluan:

"Miss, aren't you going into the mountains to kill a giant python? You also need to find medicine."

Feng Qingluan said, "Since we are here, let's look for it. I hope you can tell me what you know."

The old man said, "I heard it from the old Qiao family. He is a barefoot doctor who has been looking for medicine in the mountains for many years. He said that he once accidentally entered a lake in Youfeng Mountain. The lake is surrounded by dense trees and mountains. The Water Mantuo is in the center of the lake. He saw it from afar. It looks like the Water Mantuo in the book, but he can't be sure."

The old man reminded her, "But Miss Feng, if you really find that lake, you must think twice before you go. Old Qiao said that the lake is bottomless and there seems to be a huge creature in it. He saw a tail swinging up, but it didn't look like a fish. If you want to go into the lake, you must be careful."

Feng Qingluan said: "Thank you, sir."

After learning about Shui Mantuo's situation, Feng Qingluan and Xue Zimo went into the mountains together.

Shang Yuwan and the guards who had entered the mountain earlier had not gone far when they saw Feng Qingluan and Xue Zimo following them. They looked at her with disdain:

"What are you asking the villagers for? Do you think you can defeat me by knowing the situation?"

Qian Yuan was her father's subordinate and was most familiar with the conditions and dangers in the mountains, so he had told her about it long ago.

Feng Qingluan ignored her.

Seeing that she didn't talk to her, Shang Yuwan snorted and walked forward.

Feng Qingluan made marks on the road.

Two hours later, the group arrived at the entrance of the valley. Qian Yuan said:

"My Lady, Miss Feng, I am waiting for you here. Welcome back in triumph. If you encounter a big snake that is difficult to defeat, please send a signal and I will bring soldiers to support you."

Shang Yuwan said to the giant man following behind her:

"Don't worry, this princess will definitely kill the giant python. Da Zhuang, let's go and get rid of the harm to the people, and by the way, we can also beat a certain lady for fun."

The giant man's name was Li Zhuang.

He is the tallest and strongest man in King Gaoyang's military camp, and is extremely skilled in close combat and swordsmanship.

Isn't it a giant python?

She brought a giant to help her!

The quiver behind Da Zhuang was full of arrows, and he held a huge bow in his hand.

When passing by Feng Qingluan and Xue Zimo, he snorted heavily, his big round eyes full of disdain and provocation.

Feng Qingluan only felt that a giant bull was walking past her, and it seemed as if the surrounding land was shaking.

Said to Xue Zimo: "Let's go."

The two also entered the valley.

At this point, the four-member python-killing team started the competition.

After entering the valley, the two teams separated and each went to look for the python's traces.

Xue Zimo observed the surrounding terrain. If the python was really as thick as a bucket as the villagers said, it would leave obvious traces wherever it passed.

The two wandered around the valley for a while but found nothing.

Feng Qingluan looked at the mountains in the distance. The valley was not big, and the python might have gone deeper into the mountains.

What surprised her was that she didn't hear any sounds of insects or birds in the valley, which meant that there might be something very dangerous lurking here.

She reminded: "Zimo, be careful around you."

After walking for another half an hour, Feng Qingluan felt that the atmosphere around her had changed.

"Miss, someone is following us."

Xue Zimo spoke up.

Feng Qingluan stopped and listened to the movement of the grass and trees.

Suddenly, several dark figures appeared from all directions, with swords flashing.

"Crack!"

Xue Zimo drew his sword.

A wolf-tooth stick also appeared in Feng Qingluan's palm, and she turned around and started fighting with the black shadow.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

The sounds of fighting could be heard from the silent forest.

The martial arts of those men in black were not very powerful, but they had the advantage of being outnumbered. It took Feng Qingluan a lot of time to deal with them. After knocking the last man in black to the ground, Feng Qingluan looked at the palms of his hands, which were covered with calluses. They were military personnel.

Xue Zimo pointed his sword at one of them, "Who sent you here?"

Fear flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes. "Kill me, I won't tell."

Xue Zimo thrust a sword into his thigh.

The man in black screamed, and Xue Zimo drew his sword again.

Feng Qingluan said: "No need to ask, it was someone sent by Shang Yuwan."

Luo Ling was right. That woman sent these people to delay her actions. It was really insidious.

These men in black were injured and unable to move. Feng Qingluan was not afraid that they would follow her, so she turned around and left with Xue Zimo.

Just then, a scream came from the man in black behind him.

Feng Qingluan looked back and saw one of the men in black lying on the ground twitching and rolling. After a while, his lips turned black, and he spit out black blood and died with his eyes wide open.

The other men in black screamed and retreated in fear when they saw this.

"Ah! What is that? It looks like snake venom, ah."

The men in black screamed as they saw a tiny colorful snake, about the size of an index finger, slowly crawling out from the neck of the dead man in black and wrapping around his neck.

The snake's colors are extremely bright, and it looks extremely poisonous.

Another man in black was bitten by a snake and also died with a scream and vomiting blood.

In the surrounding grass, there was an overwhelming rustling sound, as if countless things were crawling quickly on the grass leaves.

The man in black was terrified and kept screaming and rolling on the ground in pain.

Feng Qingluan recognized what those sounds were and said to Xue Zimo:

"It's a group of poisonous snakes, go!"

A strange thing happened that Feng Qingluan did not expect. Suddenly, a sharp whistle was heard in the originally empty and quiet valley. The whistle was strange and high-pitched.

Feng Qingluan saw the poisonous snakes biting the people in black quickly turn around and chase after her and Xue Zimo after hearing the sound of the whistle.

Xue Zimo said in a deep voice: "Miss, there is a snake trainer, targeting us."

The two ran wildly in the woods.

There was an overwhelming rustling sound behind them, which was particularly creepy in the dense trees and grass. The snakes were very fast and were chasing them relentlessly under the control of the whistle.

Feng Qingluan said: "This is not a solution. Either we get rid of the snake or get rid of the snake trainer."

Xue Zimo asked: "What do you want to do?"

While he was speaking, three arrows were fired at the poisonous snakes following behind them.

Only three arrows were used to shoot and kill more than a dozen poisonous snakes. Feng Qingluan knew that Xue Zimo was good at archery, and she came up with an idea.

"The snake trainer is hiding behind the snakes. It will be difficult to deal with him in a short time. Let's deal with the snakes first. Zimo, take me up the tree and return to the snakes."
