With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

Cheng Qi screamed, as if he had entered a mysterious medicine garden, excited and shocked.

He trotted to a slope and lay on the ground to look at the precious herbs one by one. His clothes were stained black by rotten grass leaves, but he didn't care.

"Hurry, hurry up!" Cheng Qi shouted to the army behind him, "This is Lan Qi, an excellent material for treating external injuries! It's growing so well!"

"Be careful, be careful, don't move your feet!" Cheng Qi looked up inadvertently and saw a soldier running towards him almost stepped on a good orchid. He was so scared that his face turned pale!

"Brother Cheng, look, isn't this the best Polygonum multiflorum?"

At this time, Su Lanzhi's voice sounded in the distance. Cheng Qi looked incredulous and crawled towards Su Lanzhi.

The base of the plant's stem is slightly woody and hollow; the leaves are alternate and have long petioles; the brown stipules are membranous; the leaves are narrowly ovate, gradually pointed at the apex, heart-shaped or arrow-shaped at the base, entire or slightly wavy, dark green above, light green below, and smooth and hairless on both sides.

"Yes, it's Polygonum multiflorum!" Cheng Qi gave up on Lan Qi, took out the small shovel he brought with him, and dug carefully.

Seeing this, Su Lanzhi said, "Brother Cheng, I'll go look for other herbs."

Cheng Qi didn't even raise his head, as if immersed in another world.

Seeing that Cheng Qi had started picking herbs, Shu He waved to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan blushed when he saw this, but he didn't lose his composure. He quickly walked over and bowed to her, "Madam He, what can I do for you?"

"I'm not worthy of your order." Shu He smiled at him and handed him a plant of Astragalus he had just dug out. "General, this is Astragalus. Please share these branches and leaves with the brothers. Please follow these leaves and see if you can find other Astragalus. If you do find any, dig carefully and don't damage the roots. Or, if you find any, have Cheng Qi and Su Lanzhi dig them up."

"Yes."

Xu Yan took the herb and turned to leave.

"Wait." Shu He stopped him and handed him another packet of medicine powder. "This is the herbal powder for repelling insects that I prepared when I went up the mountain last time. Apply it on the soldiers' boots and arms. It will effectively repel insects."

Xu Yan took the medicine and felt touched. Women are indeed more attentive. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have thought of such thoughtfulness.

"Thank you, madam."

After everything was arranged, Zhang Zhirou shook off the mud on her feet, a look of disgust on her face. "Sister He, are we going to dig herbs too?"

Shu He thought for a moment and said, "Go take care of Su Lanzhi. The places he goes to are a bit dangerous. If he's not careful, he might fall and get hurt."

This young lady doesn't look like someone who would play with mud.

"Ah?" Zhang Zhirou was a little unhappy. She came to protect Shu He, not Su Lanzhi! "Sister He, can't I stay with you?"

"No, I have to go deeper. It's very dangerous there. I just need Nanqi and Beiji to accompany me."

Zhang Zhirou was unwilling to accept it. "Why can they go but I can't? I don't want to be here."

Before Shu He could say anything, Nan Qi's naughty mouth moved, "Because you'll be a burden if you go!"

"You!" A hint of anger appeared on Zhang Zhirou's pretty face, and she stared at Nanqi fiercely.

Although what he said was true, it was too hurtful to his self-esteem, wasn't it? And to a girl at that!

No wonder I get scolded every day, I deserve it!

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Shu He rolled his eyes at Nan Qi again, almost wanting to slap him on the head! "There are not only ferocious beasts in the depths of the mountains, but also many poisonous snakes. Even in winter, they can be seen everywhere. It's too dangerous for you to go there. Here, the place is open and the view is good, so it's relatively safer."

After saying that, Shu He coughed lightly. Seeing that the soldiers were a little far away from them, she quietly leaned close to Zhang Zhirou's ear and whispered softly, "Besides, there are so many ordinary soldiers here, their combat power is not as good as yours, and they still need your protection!"

Sure enough, this statement still applies to Zhang Zhirou. After hearing this, a smug look appeared on her face, and she patted Shu He's chest, "Sister He, don't worry, I will definitely protect them!"

Shu He smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

However, Shu He was right.

There were indeed many wild beasts in the mountains. Just as Shu He and his companions left, they were attacked by three wild wolves. Xu Yan was the first to notice them and, before the wolves could attack, he drew his bow and shot two dead. Zhang Zhirou, who had come flying over, slashed the throat of the other.

At this point, Zhang Zhirou also became completely serious, looking in all directions and listening in all directions.

Su Lanzhi picked a good piece of Polygonum multiflorum and ran to Cheng Qi excitedly, but she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Shu He was no longer among the crowd.

He stared blankly, with a deep look in his eyes.

At this time, Shu He, Nan Qibei and the other two were heading towards the depths of Mang Mountain.

The further you go in, the more you feel a heart-wrenching silence, and the complex air seems to be filled with infinite danger.

Starting from the south and the north, they moved closer to Shu He at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right.

She felt a little crowded and was about to ask the two to stay away from him when she saw Beiji wave his black arm and a blue and white poisonous snake was cut in half.

Looking at the two snakes still wriggling on the ground, Shu He was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. Just now, she hadn't noticed the venomous snakes' attack at all!

"This is a blue-bellied triangular short-tailed snake, which is extremely poisonous. Although it is small in size, its attack speed is very fast and almost silent. Anyone who is targeted by it can be said to be in danger of death." Bei Ji said.

He has been in Beisha City for the past few years and has some understanding of the creatures in Mang Mountain.

Seeing this, Nanqi took out a silver dagger from his arms and handed it to Shu He, "Take this, for self-defense."

Shu He was slightly stunned. This dagger looked familiar.

It was the same weapon that Baili Moqing had used to kill the wolf in Yuancheng. How could it be here?

"Take it, why are you standing there?" Nanqi waved the dagger at her.

No matter how much he quarrels, if she is in real danger, he will of course protect her without hesitation!

Shu He took the dagger and concealed all the doubts and strange feelings in his heart.

"It's said that cartilage grass grows deep in the rocky walls of Mang Mountain. Its leaves are five inches long, finger-shaped, and blood-red. It grows alongside purple-brown unicorn grass, which can detoxify it. Let's go to higher altitudes, where we have a better chance of finding it."

From the south to the north, everyone nodded.

"roar~"

The three continued to move forward when suddenly a loud roar sounded, coming from nowhere and circling in all directions.

"What kind of animal is that?" Shu He had never heard anything like it before. It sounded like a lion's roar, and also like a gorilla's growl. From the sound, one could imagine that this creature must be enormous.

Nanqi stood in front of Shu He, his right hand already grasping the soft sword at his waist. "Whatever it is, it's not a good thing."

"Watch your step!"

Shu He pushed Nan Qi. His attention was focused on the distance and he didn't notice a palm-sized black scorpion with a red tail emerging from the grass. Its poisonous stinger almost pierced his boots.

Nanqi unsheathed his soft sword, and there was a sound of breaking wind, and then the black scorpion broke into two halves.

"Hey!"

Shu He wanted to stop him, but this guy's hands were too fast and he couldn't stop him at all!

"You're really quick!" She looked at the broken "herb" on the ground with a distressed look. "Although this red-tailed scorpion is extremely poisonous, if you remove the stinger from its tail, it can become an extremely valuable antidote! What a waste!"

Nanqi was speechless, "You didn't tell me, how should I know?"

"Next time you encounter these poisonous insects, except for those with strong attack power, if you can control them, ask me first. Maybe you can get unexpected gains!" Shu He said to the two.

"Got it!" Nan Qi replied perfunctorily, impatiently. But what he was thinking was, "Next time I meet this poisonous insect, I'll still kill it with my sword!"

"roar~"

Another roar was heard, and from the sound it seemed to be closer to them than before.

"Susu..."

From the dense forest in the distance, there was a rustling sound, as if something was moving through the forest.
