New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies
Chapter 229: Coercion and inducement?
Lanyue City, although not as prosperous as the capital, is also a bustling town. The city gate was wide open, and many people gathered at the gate, waiting in line for soldiers to check them into the city. Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi, Ziwei and others were sitting in the carriage, looking at the long line in front of them, and could only follow slowly forward.
Little Swallow was looking around boredly when she suddenly heard a noise coming from the front. She curiously poked her head forward and saw several soldiers shouting at a man. The man was frightened and turned pale. He hurriedly took out a bag of white powder from his arms and handed it to the soldiers.
"What is this?" Xiaoyanzi asked Yongqi beside her curiously.
"I don't know either. But judging from the looks of it, it should be some kind of contraband." Yongqi guessed.
At this moment, another soldier came over and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, please take out the powdery substances you are carrying and inspect them! If you hide them and don't report them, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
Xiaoyanzi and the others were very puzzled after hearing this, not knowing what had happened. They looked at each other, full of doubts. Ziwei frowned and said, "Why did these soldiers suddenly want to check for powdery items? Did something happen in the city?"
"Should we go and ask?" Xiaoyanzi suggested.
"Forget it. It's better to have less trouble than more. Let's see the situation first." Yongqi said.
So, Xiaoyanzi and the others continued to sit in the carriage, quietly observing the movements around them. As time went on, more and more people were found to be carrying powdery items and were taken away by the soldiers. Xiaoyanzi felt more and more puzzled, wondering what these powders were and why they attracted so much attention.
"Come on, everyone in the carriage get off. Do you have any powdery substance with you? Hand it over for inspection. Don't let me search it, or you will be in trouble." A soldier stood at the city gate with a big knife and shouted loudly.
It was now the turn of Xiaoyanzi's team. Two soldiers were ordered to check and saw that the accompanying personnel were all handsome men and beautiful women, wearing rather expensive clothes. They thought that their identities should not be low. But when they thought that they were now carefully examining those drug fans, they would investigate them thoroughly regardless of whether their identities were noble or not.
"Everyone in the carriage, get off. Routine inspection! Is anyone carrying any powdery substance?" Soldier A said in a serious voice.
After Yongqi got off the carriage, he explained to Soldier A, "We didn't bring any powdery stuff, just some luggage and food."
Erkang couldn't help but ask, "We didn't bring any powdery substances. I don't know what happened? Why are you suddenly checking for powdery substances?"
Soldier B took a look at the men and saw that they were wearing weapons and looked like chivalrous men, so he couldn't help but respond, "Something big has happened in Yunzhou. Japanese pirates are rampant. They have created an addictive powder to try to confuse the people and make them obey them. We are now strictly checking powdery substances to prevent those Japanese pirates from sneaking into the city. It would be bad if they infected the people."
Hearing this, Yongqi and others frowned and felt very angry about the behavior of the Japanese pirates.
"These damned Japanese pirates used poisonous insects to murder the people in Meng'an City, and now they even dare to make poison powder to confuse the people. They deserve to be damned!" Xiaoyanzi couldn't help but shout out in anger, her voice full of anger and a sense of justice.
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked and confused. The two soldiers looked at each other, with a trace of confusion in their eyes. It was obvious that they knew nothing about the poisonous insects that Xiaoyanzi mentioned. They couldn't help but wonder, what was going on? Was there any other hidden conspiracy and danger?
At this time, Ziwei took the initiative to step forward and said, "This is the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley. We are now heading to Yunzhou to participate in the martial arts conference. Please make way."
The two soldiers couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the name of Divine Doctor Valley. They were a little unconvinced. Soldier A shook his head and said, "We searched a lot of people today, and most of them said they were from Divine Doctor Valley just to evade the search. You said you were from Divine Doctor Valley, but where is the evidence?"
When Xiaoyanzi heard this, she was immediately furious. She had never expected that someone would dare to cheat under the banner of the Divine Doctor Valley! This was simply too much!
Yongqi pondered for a moment and then said to Erkang: "It's not that our luggage cannot be searched, but the key is that we have a jade pendant that can prove our identity. If they find this jade pendant, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble."
After saying this, Yongqi gave Erkang a look, signaling him to take out the jade pendant that represented the scholar's mansion. Erkang nodded in understanding. Then, Yongqi pulled Xiaoyanzi over and said to her, "Xiaoyanzi, the situation is urgent now. We need to show evidence that we are from the court to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Xiaoyanzi was secretly angry in her heart. Their Divine Doctor Valley had never made any jade pendants that could prove their identity. You know, once her master, Divine Doctor Li, went out, his Lotus Building was his most famous sign. Later, when her aunt entered the martial arts world to treat illnesses and save lives, it was completely proved that she was now the master of the Divine Doctor Valley.
Then… Thinking of this, Xiaoyanzi suddenly had an idea, stretched out her hand to stop Erkang who was about to take out the jade pendant from his bag, and took the initiative to say: "It's actually very easy to prove that I'm from the Divine Doctor Valley!
You see, I carry a lot of powders, including poisons, antidotes, and various kinds of drugs. These are my self-defense items. If you have any doubts about what I say, you can let me give you a drug and try it. You will naturally faint, but as long as I give you some antidote, I guarantee that you will regain consciousness immediately. "
"Don't forget, I am from the Divine Doctor Valley and I practice both medicine and poison. I just left the valley and entered the martial arts world. There are so many people who don't believe me, so I have no choice but to prove my identity in my own way."
Xiaoyanzi put her hands on her hips with a smug smile on her face. She looked at the two soldiers opposite with her bright big eyes, which were full of cunning and confidence.
As she spoke, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a handful of bottles. Facing the two soldiers' wide-eyed eyes, she looked at the colorful bottles in her hands in distress, muttering to herself, "Should I give you this Yixisan or this Sanrixingsan? Oh, this, I took the wrong one, and it almost became Duanchangsan."
Xiaoyanzi's voice was clear and loud, full of teasing and provocation. Her eyes rolled around, her gaze fell on one of the bottles, and she smiled with satisfaction.
"Well, I've thought of this. Two-day intoxication. Once this drug is taken, it will make people feel drunk instantly. Even after inhaling the antidote, they will feel dizzy. Tsk tsk, it's exactly like being drunk."
After saying that, Xiaoyanzi collected the other bottles and kept only the green bottle in her hand. Then, in front of the two soldiers, she gently unscrewed the bottle cap and pretended to drug them, scaring the two men so much that they stepped back.
The two looked at the colorful bottles in each other's hands and couldn't help swallowing.
"Miss, please show some mercy. We will let you go. And please don't drug us."
Many people around were looking at this side. The two soldiers were small leaders after all. It would be so embarrassing if they were knocked down like this. So the two of them quickly apologized with a smile and motioned for everyone to go into the city.
Ertai and others watched Xiaoyanzi's introduction, which frightened the officers and soldiers, and their faces were full of smiles.
Xiaoyanzi asked desperately, "Are you really going to let us go? Don't you want to try my powder?"
"No, no, no, please come in, girl."
The two soldiers' eyebrows jumped and they quickly made way.
The people who had been watching from the sidelines couldn't help but shout when they saw this scene, "Why can they go in directly without a thorough search?"
"Yeah, that's why we need to search you!"
"I don't think they are good people. They might have weapons on them!"
"You officials, did you accept bribes and deliberately let this go?"
"I'm going to sue the officials. You're abusing your power!"
……
For a moment, the crowd was filled with accusations and insults. The two soldiers panicked, wiping the sweat from their foreheads while explaining, "Everyone, please be patient. These young men and women are all from the martial arts world, and their identities are innocent. Moreover, this young lady is the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley, so there is no need to check her."
"Humph, who knows whether what you said is true or not!" A middle-aged man sneered, "I think you just want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune!"
"That's right, I don't believe your lies!" another woman echoed, "You must have seen these girls are pretty and wanted to please them!"
Before Xiaoyanzi could speak, the soldier took the initiative to stand up and defend her. "This is the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley. They treat illnesses and save lives. They will never ally with the Japanese pirates and do something that harms the world. We have already verified their identities. If you continue to make trouble, don't blame us for using force."
When the people heard the name of the Valley of Divine Doctors, they immediately shut their mouths and remained silent. Although they still looked a little unconvinced, they had no choice but to shut up when facing those cold weapons.
As there were mostly common people in front of the city gate, Yongqi and others led their horses and walked into the city. Facing the dissatisfied looks of the crowd, they were helpless. They were of noble status, and if they told their names, no matter which one, they would be scared to kneel on the ground.
However, they did not want to reveal their identities, nor did they want to oppress the people. If they did not want to expose tokens, jade pendants and other things that could prove their identities, why would they bother to linger in front of the city gate?
At this time, the doctor who was pulled to the city gate to carefully identify those powdered things heard the name of the Divine Doctor Valley. Although he was a little suspicious, he still did not dare to offend. He just carefully stopped Xiaoyanzi and said, "Young Valley Master, I'm sorry to bother you. I am a doctor from Lanyue City. I just saw that you have a lot of medicine in your hand. I am a little curious. I wonder if I can have the honor to see the medicine in your hand?"
The old doctor spoke with some caution, as if he was afraid of angering the girl in front of him.
Xiaoyanzi looked at the old man in front of her with great interest, thinking that she had quite a lot of medicine on her, and wondered which one he would be interested in.
The old doctor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to recall the names of the medicines he had just heard, and then he slowly said, "I just heard a few names that I found quite interesting, and I want to take a look."
Xiaoyanzi raised her eyebrows and thought this doctor was interesting, so she took out several small medicine bottles from her arms, including a bottle of poison, a bottle of sleeping pills, a bottle of antidote and a bottle of healing medicine.
She handed the bottles to the old doctor and said with a smile, "Take a look and see if you can figure out what they are."
The old doctor took the medicine bottle and carefully observed the powder inside, thinking to himself. He knew that these medicines were not simple, but it was not easy to guess the ingredients and medicinal materials from the powder.
However, Xiaoyanzi was not worried that the other party would be able to guess her formula. After all, she was still very confident in her medical skills. Moreover, if this doctor could really guess some clues by observing the powder, it also showed that he did have a certain talent. If such a person could learn some medical skills from the Divine Doctor Valley, it would be a good thing for ordinary people.
Soldier A watched the doctor in front of him carefully take several small bottles, then open them one by one and gently sniff the smell emanating from the bottle mouth. His already wrinkled face became even more wrinkled like a ball of paper, but his eyes were full of surprise, and he murmured, "Good, good, good, good..."
Seeing the famous Doctor Wang in the city so out of control, Soldier A couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He reached out and wiped the sweat that had appeared on his forehead. He was secretly glad that he didn't do anything too extreme, otherwise he might not even know how he died.
Now that I think about it, what this girl said just now, that she was from the Valley of Divine Doctors, might not have been false.
After all, the bottles of medicine she casually took out were even more precious than the legendary elixir!
And from the beginning, the girl has been very calm and seemed to be well prepared for everything that was happening.
Soldier A became more and more certain that the woman in front of him was definitely not simple. Even if she was not from the Valley of Divine Doctors, just based on her medical skills and these bottles of medicine, she was definitely not an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, Soldier A secretly felt lucky that he did not completely offend this mysterious little girl.
The other people who were trapped in front of the city gate waiting for the search saw Doctor Wang's happy expression and understood that the man was really the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley. They no longer dared to complain and obediently lined up at the gate, waiting to enter the city.
Doctor Wang reluctantly returned the bottle to Xiaoyanzi, wanting to ask if he could become her disciple. However, when he saw the little girl who looked like a teenager, he couldn't say it for a moment. After all, he was so old, and even if he became her disciple, he probably wouldn't have much time to follow her around and learn new knowledge.
"I would like to thank Young Valley Master for these medicines. They have allowed me to see a wider variety of medicinal properties and made me realize that there are many types of drugs and poisons. Thank you, Young Valley Master."
