Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang shook her head and said, "General, we are from Muhua City after all. If we enter the city now, I am afraid it will cause panic among the people."

"After all, you are a princess and a guest of honor of the royal family. How can I let you stay outside the city?" Zhou Tianyu said with a smile.

Xue Huang's eyes deepened. Is he determined to trick her in and steal the prescription?

"It's alright," Xue Huang said calmly. "For the safety of the people of Jiuxiao City, we will wait outside the city. General, please prepare half of the herbs written on this paper in the city."

Zhou Tianyu took the prescription, looked it over, and asked, "Is this the prescription that can cure the plague?"

"That's not the case," Xue Huang said calmly, "The prescriptions for curing the plague have clear ratios, and there are three or five prescriptions, each with a different ratio. And the symptoms of this plague are extremely complicated, and it's not something that can be explained in a short time. Why don't you go and prepare the herbs first? I'll write down the prescriptions one by one and hand them over to you in due time."

Zhou Tianyu put away the prescription. The respectful smile on his face disappeared, and instead he looked a little sinister. "Your Highness, King Han Xi has said that if you show up in Jiuxiao City, he must keep you as a guest."

Xue Huang frowned slightly. Mo Yunchen had been chasing her all the time. It seemed that he had already sent the message here and was waiting for her to arrive.

"Princess, since you are here, please go into the city first." After saying that, he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him and in ambush at the city gate rushed out and surrounded them. "Please go in."

Hua Yu immediately drew her sword, "General Zhou is quite courageous." Lu Wenxuan also said that this person was not short-sighted, but in her opinion, he was clearly a shameless villain. Lu Wenxuan's vision was still as problematic as before.

Facing so many soldiers, Xue Huang's face remained calm. She slowly untied a beautiful pendant from her waist and waved it in front of her eyes. She had been prepared since the young man told her that there was an ambush behind the city gate.

Guigu has a unique fragrance that intoxicates beauties. It is colorless and tasteless, and extremely difficult to detect. Even if you cover your mouth and nose, it is useless. If one of the seven orifices is exposed, it is unavoidable.

She tilted her head and smiled, and saw that the soldiers behind Zhou Tianyu were shaking and unable to stand steadily.

Hua Yu put a medicine bottle under the noses of Zhan Hui and Zi Xiu and they both regained their strength. She was very familiar with Xue Huang's gesture, so she was prepared.

"You..." Zhou Tianyu was shocked and quickly sealed the acupoints.

Xue Huang cast a profound ice spell, directly shaking away the surrounding soldiers, then flew away and grabbed Zhou Tianyu.

Zhou Tianyu quickly drew his sword and stabbed, but Xue Huang dodged and came in front of him again. He feinted his sword and turned to run towards the city gate, still shouting, "Someone come!"

The cold air of the Snow Phoenix Mysterious Ice Curse quickly blocked his way like a silver snake, and the extremely cold temperature forced him to stop and take a step back. As he took a step back, the frost dagger in the Snow Phoenix's hand was directly placed on his neck.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Zhou Tianyu asked with a frown.

"It's a courtesy to return the favor!" Xue Huang said with a smile. "Didn't General Zhou also want to invite me into the city? Why don't I take General Zhou to Muhua City as a guest first?"

"Princess, please forgive me. I was disrespectful..."

"General Zhou, you have been my target from the beginning. Thank you for your help."

Hua Yu and his men easily subdued the drugged soldiers. Seeing this, the captain on the city wall mobilized his troops.

After a while, a team rushed out of the city gate and tried to intercept them.

Xue Huang dragged him onto the stone bridge over the moat and came to the other side, facing the army across the river. As Zhou Tianyu was in Xue Huang's hands, they did not dare to act rashly for a while.

"Princess, you are too brave," Zhou Tianyu said calmly, "I have 60,000 defenders in Jiuxiao City. You can't escape."

"I'm not planning on running away." Xue Huang said with a smile. "I think it's worth exchanging the general's life for half of the city's medicinal herbs!"

"Your Highness, I would like to advise you that kidnapping an important official of the imperial court is against the law."

Xue Huang didn't take it seriously, and held the sword close to his neck. "What can you do to me? Your life is in my hands now. Prepare the herbs I need before dawn tomorrow. Otherwise, I will send you to hell first."

Zhou Tianyu felt the chill on his neck that seemed to freeze his soul, and he couldn't help but shiver. His voice trembled slightly, but he was still fearless, "Princess, think twice. Even if you kill me, you still won't get the herbs..."

Xue Huang was too lazy to say anything more. She kicked him on the knee and pinned Zhou Tianyu to the ground. "I'll say it again. I want to see the medicinal materials before dawn tomorrow."

"Princess, you'd better put down your weapon... Ouch..." Zhou Tianyu grimaced in pain before he could finish his words.

It turned out that Xue Huang was annoyed by his slowness and kicked him in the waist again, causing his face to become deformed due to the pain.

"General Zhou, you still have one chance to speak. If you say something I don't like to hear again, this may be the last words you say in your life." Xue Huang's eyes were cold and murderous intent was filled throughout her body. She looked like a cold-blooded and ruthless Shura as she held the Frost Sword.

Zhou Tianyu endured the pain and shouted to the defenders: "Do as the princess says immediately."

Xue Huang said to the defenders: "Please stay there. If you step onto the stone bridge, I will cut General Zhou with a knife." After saying that, Xue Huang grabbed him with one hand and dragged him towards the camp.

The soldiers behind him looked at each other and dared not move.

Xue Huang returned to the camp and the team came to greet her. "Give General Zhou a good treat." Xue Huang pressed Zhou Tianyu's acupoints and then threw him to Zhan Hui and Zi Xiu.

"I'm sorry." Zixiu said politely while tying Zhou Tianyu tightly to the tree.

Zhan Hui looked at the officers and soldiers not far away, frowning slightly, but still walked to the current situation and said, "Princess, what should we do next?"

"We can only wait." Xue Huang said.

"Zhou Tianyu has always been cunning. What should we do if he deliberately delays time?"

Xue Huang frowned slightly. What else could she do? She couldn't really kill him. That would do no good. The only way now was to wait and see.

"Rest first," Xue Huang said with a smile, "and entertain General Zhou."

Everyone nodded and sat down around Zhou Tianyu. They looked at him as if he were prey, making his hair stand on end. But they didn't dare to say a word because his waist was still hurting.

Xue Huang sat aside, ate some dry food, and then slowly sat down near Zhou Tianyu.
