Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

"Boss! Please arrange accommodation for us quickly. We need four superior guest rooms. Also, please send some hot water over as we need to take a bath. After we finish washing, please prepare a sumptuous meal. We will not treat you unfairly in terms of money." Yun Yuxi said in a loud voice with a firm and forceful tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scarred man slammed a thick stack of banknotes on the table without hesitation. The shopkeeper saw this and immediately put on a flattering smile and hurriedly agreed: "Okay! Sir, please wait a moment, I will ask someone to prepare it." After that, he turned around and left in a hurry to take care of everything himself.

Not long after, the injured man surnamed Ding was carried to the inn. After entering the room, Yun Yuxi moved quickly and neatly, and finished the bath as quickly as possible. Then, she carried the medicine box and began to diagnose and treat the man surnamed Ding with full concentration. After a careful examination, it was found that he was just feverish because of the infection of the wound.

Yun Yuxi acted decisively, quickly took out a fever-reducing needle, accurately injected it into the man surnamed Ding, and carefully cleaned the wound on his back. After doing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that the situation had not deteriorated to an unmanageable point. As long as the man could wake up, he would only need to change the dressings on time and he would be fine.

Soon, the shopkeeper kept his promise and not only served the steaming, fragrant and delicious food, but also prepared an extra pot of fragrant wine. Yun Yuxi and others were not polite and sat around in the spacious and bright hall to feast. Just as everyone was eating with relish, suddenly, a gloomy and depressed figure stepped into the door of the inn - it was Jing Zichu who was out on business before. However, when he caught a glimpse of Lingyi, his originally dull eyes suddenly burst into a hint of surprise.

Lingyi and Yun Yuxi's sharp eyes caught Jing Zichu's figure, and Lingyi made a quick and secret gesture in an instant. Jing Zichu understood and immediately realized that their entry into the city was not planned, but a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Jing Zichu stepped forward with a gentle smile on his face, and bowed to the person in front of him: "Excuse me, sir, are you the famous eldest master of the Shen family? I am the eldest master of the Feng family, and I have always heard of your reputation!" At this moment, the eldest master of the Feng family, who was in the distant Northern Qi Kingdom, suddenly sneezed loudly without any warning.

Someone nearby asked with concern, "Did you catch a cold? You should take better care of yourself."

The eldest son of the Feng family shook his head gently, indicating that he was fine, and said slowly: "Thank you for your concern, I'm just a little uncomfortable. My father sent me here to develop the Northern Qi market, and we have achieved certain results. We must go all out to achieve our goals as soon as possible, so that we can return to the Great Yan Kingdom as soon as possible." As he spoke, he was wearing a snow-white gown, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his temperament was elegant and extraordinary.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yuxi also smiled and agreed, "I've heard of Mr. Feng's name for a long time. Now that I meet him today, I realize that he is truly elegant and dignified!" Although these words were a bit polite, the sincerity in them was not difficult to detect.

Jing Zichu took the opportunity to invite him, "Brother Shen, would you be so kind as to share a glass of wine with me?"

Yun Yuxi readily agreed: "Brother Feng has invited me so warmly, how dare I refuse? Please!" After that, he sat down at the table without any restraint and started a cordial conversation with Jing Zichu.

At this moment, a man with scars all over his face came up and reported to Jing Zichu: "Master Shen, this young man is the one who bravely fought against the flower thief that day. If it weren't for his heroic action, I'm afraid that more innocent women would have been killed in Qingshui Town in the past few days!"

"Boss, do you have any private rooms?" Lingyi asked.

"Yes, yes, but the silver..." said the shopkeeper with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Arrange it immediately. I have plenty of money."

The shopkeeper immediately took the lead and led Yun Yuxi and Jing Zichu to the private room, while Lingyi continued to stay in the hall to have dinner with Scarface's group.

Yuelan looked at Lingyi tacitly and stood outside the door of the private room.

"Sister-in-law! You'd better leave here quickly! Qingshui Town is not the place you should come to! Recently, there have been many cases of young women being murdered in this town. If anything happens to you, my brother will never let me go!" Zichu said anxiously.

"Zichu, could it really be the work of that flower thief? When I was outside the city, I heard those people downstairs talking about this matter, and I thought that the powerful person they were talking about might be you, so I came here specially to help you." The eldest sister-in-law looked at Zichu with a firm gaze, and there was a hint of concern in her tone.

Zichu sighed helplessly: "Sister-in-law, that evil villain is very skilled in martial arts, even I am no match for him. Although I successfully injured one of his arms last time, he still managed to escape." At this point, Zichu couldn't help but frowned, his face full of resentment.

The eldest sister-in-law nodded slightly to show her understanding, and then asked: "So Zichu, have you found out the identity of this thief and the forces behind him? In my opinion, I came at the right time this time. As long as you and I join forces, and with the help of Yuelan and Lingyi, do you think we have a chance of capturing the thief in one fell swoop?"

Zichu pondered for a moment and replied, "Sister-in-law, if it's just the four of us, it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with that guy. However, the most troublesome thing is that this bastard is too cunning and insidious. Since he was injured last time, he has been hiding and disappeared. And tonight, I am planning to go out to look for that damn guy." After saying that, Zichu clenched his fists tightly, as if he couldn't wait to find the hateful flower thief and bring him to justice.

"We have to find a way to make this flower thief show up on his own. Otherwise, he's in the dark and we're in the light. The situation is not optimistic."

"Sister-in-law, this bastard should be the flower-stealing thief, Hua Manlou, as rumored by the martial arts world. I heard that Hua Manlou has mastered an evil skill that requires him to take yin to replenish yang. I'm afraid that the woman from Qingshui Town must have fallen victim to his evil hands?"

"Can you see his face clearly? What are his features?"

"Sister-in-law, he had a strong scent of jasmine. When I was tracking him, I kept smelling the scent of jasmine."

"Zichu, quickly stretch out your hand," Yun Yuxi said anxiously and worriedly. She quickly felt Ling Zichu's pulse and soon breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, you are not poisoned. In this world, many flower scents are poisonous, so be careful not to get fooled," said both of them, their expressions becoming serious.
