A life of two souls traveling through time

Dancers wearing masks sang and danced on the high platform, and the people below the stage also responded loudly. The flames flickered and the shadows were heavy. Yan Zong on the viewing platform had a cold face. He looked around for a long time before finding Arnold in the crowd. When he saw Si Yao beside Arnold, he couldn't help but wonder: How could she appear in the city at this time?

In the dark night, Si Yao was like a green plum blossom blooming in the cold night under the flickering firelight, elegant but resolute, making people unconsciously lock their eyes on her. Yan Zong stared coldly at Si Yao in the crowd for a long time. Ever since he saw her kill an adult wild wolf on the verge of life and death, he had some admiration for her in his heart, but her unclear identity made him have to be wary.

Yan Zong drank the warm tea in his hand, and then turned his attention back to the present, but found that the dancing figures of the dancers made him feel dizzy. When he was about to say something to Mr. Fan behind him, he fell headfirst at the table.

"Your Highness!" Yu Cheng, who was guarding nearby, immediately helped Yan Zong up, his face changed in shock, and Mr. Fan also immediately came to protect Yan Zong.

"What...what happened?" Several officials sitting together were also frightened and at a loss.

"Attack!" At this moment, three dancers with red hair and colorful clothes on the platform suddenly threw down their whips, pulled out the daggers hidden at their waists, jumped onto the platform and stabbed at the unconscious Yan Zong.

Yu Cheng drew his sword and jumped up, directly knocking the three knife-wielding dancers back a few steps. Then, before the three could react, he swept away again. The three assassins were not to be outdone and surrounded Yu Cheng and attacked at the same time. For a moment, the stage was filled with swords and sabers, and murderous intent. The people below the stage, who were originally immersed in the excitement, fled in all directions. The yamen runners guarding the periphery also rushed in quickly after hearing the commotion. The county magistrate Situ Ting pointed at the dozen dancers who were trying to escape on the stage and shouted, "Catch them all!"

"Sister Yao, it's dangerous here, you should go back quickly!" After Arnold protected Si Yao and Guo Ying and squeezed them out of the crowd, he quickly turned around and ran towards the platform.

The thrilling fight on the stage made Si Yao very worried, and naturally she had no intention of leaving. Behind her, Guo Ying was so frightened by seeing such a scene for the first time that she stood there in a daze.

"Why are you still here? Why don't you leave?" At this moment, Huifeng carrying a medicine box suddenly appeared. With a hurried look on his face, he pulled Guo Ying and wanted to go out of the city, but was stopped by Si Yao.

"Mr. Er, something's happened to the prince, save him!"

Hui Feng's expression instantly turned cold, and after hesitating for a moment, he said coldly, "Take me there."

In a hurry, Si Yao did not notice Hui Feng's sudden cold voice and the strange look in his eyes.

The three assassins were finally defeated by the battle-hardened Yu Cheng and were already at a disadvantage. With Arnold's joining, they were defeated even more. They wanted to escape but found that they were surrounded by yamen runners.

"Yu Cheng, leave him alive!" Mr. Fan, who was protecting Yan Zong, had just finished giving the order when the three assassins simultaneously slashed their necks with the daggers in their hands, killing him instantly with blood splattering.

"Your Highness? Your Highness, what happened to you?" Seeing that the three assassins were all dead, Arnold threw himself on Yan Zong and burst into tears.

"What are you still standing there for? Call a doctor!" Mr. Fan shouted at the frightened officials standing beside him.

"Hurry up, go find a doctor!" Several officials shouted hurriedly and panickily to the audience.

"County Magistrate Situ, you'd better pray that His Highness is safe and sound!" Mr. Fan looked gloomily at Mucheng County Magistrate Situ Ting with angry eyes.

"Mr. Fan, I..." Even Mr. Fan, who was always calm and composed, got so angry. Situ Ting naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. His legs went weak and he knelt in front of the prince.

"Who is it?" At this time, Si Yao pulled Huifeng to the bottom of the platform and was stopped by several yamen runners with drawn swords.

"Sir, this is Mr. Huifeng from Sanxiu Pharmacy. He is here to treat Prince Zong." Si Yao hurriedly pointed at Huifeng beside him and explained to the officer.

"Sanxiu Pharmacy? Bring them up!" Yu Cheng, who had sharp ears, heard the words "Sanxiu Pharmacy" and hurriedly shouted to the audience.

Si Yao and Hui Feng were brought to the platform. Mucheng County Magistrate Situ Ting recognized Hui Feng at a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.

Hui Feng came to Yan Zong without saying a word, felt his pulse, checked his facial features, and said in a cold voice, "Poisoned."

"Mr. Huifeng, please tell me in detail!"

Everyone guessed that the prince was poisoned, so when Huifeng diagnosed the result, no one except Arnold was shocked. They were more concerned about what kind of poison he had been poisoned by and how serious it was.

"The poison can be cured, but the prince is weak due to the cold, so we should send him to the warm room as soon as possible."

"Hurry up and send the prince back to the post station!"

As soon as Mr. Fan finished speaking, Yu Cheng squatted down, picked up Yan Zong on his back and strode down the platform.

"Situ County Magistrate, I hope you can give His Highness a satisfactory answer after His Highness wakes up about what happened tonight." Mr. Fan regained his usual composure and reminded Mucheng County Magistrate Situ Ting, then turned to Huifeng and said, "Please, sir."

Situ Ting respectfully sent the group away before he stood up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. His face suddenly darkened with anger: "Captain Liu, bring all these dancers to me for strict interrogation!"

In the inn’s warm room, A’nuo, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, saw Si Yao and Guo Ying standing silently in the corner, and then he belatedly asked, “Sister Yao, why are you here too?”

Si Yao did not answer, but comforted: "Don't worry, with Mr. Er here, the prince will be fine."

Arnold didn't say anything else and just smiled at Si Yao.

"Miss Si Yao, nice to meet you again." Mr. Fan finally had time to greet Si Yao.

"Mr. Fan." Si Yao also bowed respectfully to Mr. Fan.

Huifeng and Xiao Guoying, who was silently standing aside, were not surprised to see that they were all familiar with each other. After all, everyone knew that Si Yao was recommended to Sanxiu Pharmacy by the prince.

"Mr. Huifeng, everything is ready." At this time, Yu Cheng came in with a basin of hot water and looked at Huifeng anxiously.

"Si Yao stays to help me, the rest of you go out." Hui Feng ordered coldly.

Yu Cheng looked at Mr. Fan on the side with concern. He was naturally confident in Mr. Sanxiu's direct disciple, but how could he let Si Yao stay when her identity was suspicious.

Mr. Fan didn't say anything, just nodded to Yu Cheng and went out first. Seeing this, the others also walked out of the room in silence.

"Mix the emetic powder in tea and feed it to him." Only Huifeng, Siyao and Yan Zong, who was unconscious on the bed, were left in the room. Huifeng handed a medicine bottle to Siyao and said.

"Yeah." Si Yao took the medicine bottle and felt the sudden chill emanating from Hui Feng: "Mr. Er, are you okay?"

"It's okay, what's wrong?" Huifeng looked at Si Yao expressionlessly, but the dead coldness in his eyes startled Si Yao. She hurriedly shook her head and turned to prepare the emetic tea.

Under the effect of the emetic tea, Yan Zong vomited out the remaining poison in his stomach. Huifeng then drew some blood from his hand. He was originally going to give him an acupuncture, but because the poisoned man had caught a cold before and his body was still weak, he asked Si Yao to feed him some detoxification pills.
