The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 102 He's Coming

Without further ado!

Since new patients have appeared in Yuzhou City, it means that the person who poisoned the city already knows that someone in the city is against them.

Therefore, we must race against time in the future.

After the sun rose, Xu Rongrong put on a light yellow cloak and set off with Mu Ai.

I have to say that the horse riding skills I learned in the hunting ground finally came in handy today.

The two men rode to the city gate, and Xu Rongrong took out the customs clearance document she had obtained from Xu Chaoqian.

Not surprisingly, the guard at the gate let the two of them pass.

After all, who could have the heart to stop a young girl who had traveled thousands of miles to find the mistress of the house and her guards?

The two of them walked all the way to the foot of Yushan Mountain, and Xu Rongrong dismounted.

Mu Ai led the horse to a secluded place and tied it up, then carried the water bag and dry food on the horse's back on his back.

In winter, Yushan is bare everywhere.

Revealing the yellow mottled land.

Therefore, Xu Rongrong's light yellow cloak blends in and is difficult to notice.

She and Mu Ai slowly went up along the Yu River. Not far away, they could see that the withered branches on both sides of the river had turned black.

Xu Rongrong squatted down and carefully examined it, then nodded to Mu Ai:

These branches are already contaminated with poison, which is why they look like this.

Ahead is the deep forest, and some roads require bending down to pass through.

But even in such a dense forest, as we went up, we could see black poisonous branches everywhere, as well as some birds and animals that had fallen to the ground and died, their corpses stained black.

Xu Rongrong took out two face masks from her sleeves, put one on herself and handed the other to Mu Ai.

This was what she prepared before going up the mountain.

The veil is wrapped with herbs to protect against miasma and common poisonous gases.

The two of them moved forward slowly. In the distance, a pair of deep eyes were following their figures.

Along the way, they found several springs, but it did not affect their progress.

Soon, they reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Luo Xiao told Xu Rongrong that the spring halfway up the mountain was the largest source of water for the Yu River. Sure enough, as soon as they approached the mountainside, they could smell a strong stench.

Mu Ai quickly waved his hand to ask Xu Rongrong to stop, while he leaned over to take a closer look.

As soon as he turned the corner, a strange scene came into his sight, making the deputy general of the army tremble in his heart.

Where the water was gurgling, there were five or six black trees of strange shapes surrounding it.

Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow, and a broken branch would fall from the tree. After falling into the water, it would immediately disappear.

It was as if it was dissolved into water.

And those tall black trees, dark and slender, looked as if five or six foreign men were about to dance around the water source.

He walked over to see what kind of tree it was.

Then he heard Xu Rongrong shout, "Don't touch it!"

He turned around suddenly and found that Xu Rongrong had come to his side without him knowing when. He said in fear: "Miss, this is dangerous."

Xu Rongrong's eyes were fixed on the black trees, as if she didn't hear anything.

In her previous life, she had seen it in a rare medicine book in the library of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. It was a poisonous substance from the Western Regions called "Evil Flower"!

Its petals look like dead branches, and the fallen broken branches are their stamens. Once these stamens are eaten, people will be poisoned and die!

Looking at the tracks on the ground, four of the six "evil flowers" in front of me were just transplanted.

Presumably, the person who poisoned the city had only planted two flowers before causing an epidemic throughout the city.

Now, in order to increase the dosage of the poison, four more plants were hastily moved in.

She told Mu'ai about this and told him: "Cut them off immediately, and make sure that the stamens do not fall into the water or splash on you."

Mu Ai nodded and reminded: "Miss, please stand further away."

Xu Rongrong knew that if she stood there, Mu Ai would definitely be worried, so she stood far away under a cliff.

Seeing this, Mu Ai flew up.

He did not use his sword to cut off the "evil flowers" one by one as Xu Rongrong had thought, because in doing so, the stamens above the water source would most likely fall into the water.

He took a deep breath, walked into the "evil flower", and used his internal energy to activate the sword.

The impact of the sword energy scattered the "evil flower", and none of the severed stamens fell into the water.

Mu Ai put away his sword and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Rongrong shouting, "Watch out behind you!"

He felt a gust of wind coming from behind him and immediately jumped to the side. It was a masked man in black with deep eyes. Seeing that his first attack missed, he attacked again.

Mu Ai struggled with him.

Xu Rongrong hid herself under the cliff, picked up a thick branch and held it in her hand.

I thought that if the man in black had accomplices, I would fight him to the death.

I don’t know how much time passed during the tense wait.

The sounds of fighting in the distance gradually faded away, and Mu Ai disappeared as well.

Xu Rongrong leaned out and found that there was no one around.

But she couldn't run around, lest she miss Mu Ai.

Another hour or two passed.

Because their dry food and water bag were on Mu Ai, Xu Rongrong was hungry and thirsty at the moment. Guarding the source of the Yu River, she dared not drink without permission. Who knew how much of the "evil flower" poison there was? Mu Ai had not returned, so he must have encountered trouble.

So Xu Rongrong picked up the wooden stick he had just used for defense and slowly searched around.

The sun was setting in the west, and its red light hurt her eyes.

She wanted to raise her hand to cover it, but accidentally caught a glimpse of a small white flower growing on the edge of the cliff.

It's winter now, why are there still flowers on the mountain?

She was a little confused and walked forward a few dozen steps, but she saw more and more white flowers peeking out from the edge of the cliff.

From a distance, the white clusters look like crescent moons.

Xu Rongrong was overjoyed: Moon Grass! It was the nemesis of the "evil flower"!

She had read in medical books that "there's always an antidote within a hundred steps of a poison." However, the "evil flower" was a poisonous weed from the Western Regions, and the antidote, the bright moon grass, was also found only there. She didn't believe the person who poisoned her would have brought the antidote with them. But who could have imagined that there actually was an antidote on Mount Yu?

It just grows on the cliff, and Mu Ai is not here. How can she get it?

If I go back and call Chu He...

But after this back and forth, who knows if the man in black will turn back and destroy the Mingyue Grass?

No time to bother! Xu Rongrong took off her cloak, lifted the hem of her skirt and tied it at her waist.

He tied the medicine bag around his waist, grabbed the protruding rocks on the cliff, and moved towards the Mingyue Grass little by little.

……

Xu Rongrong is not good at climbing, and at this moment she relies entirely on her determination.

Her fingertips were worn out early because she used too much force, but she seemed unaware and continued to climb out.

By the time she caught her first moonflower, the sun had already set. The rising moon cast a speckled shadow on the flowers, making them even more worthy of their name.

Xu Rongrong picked the moon grass with its roots and filled her medicine bag little by little.

Under the moonlight, the woman on the cliff was so busy that she was completely unaware that the cold mountain wind was blowing towards her.

Finished installing the last piece of moon grass.

Xu Rongrong wanted to loosen her left hand that had been clinging to the cliff, but she found that her fingers had already been tightly clasped on the rocks, and were numb from the cold and could not be moved.

She felt something was wrong.

But no matter how hard I tried, my five fingers just couldn't open freely.

Her left foot, which had been climbing on the stone, also lost feeling.

Her legs gradually became weak, and she smiled bitterly in her heart...

The next moment, his body lost its support and slid down. Xu Rongrong knew...

It’s over.

With a wry smile, she fell off the cliff.

A life lived in vain.

Her voice was no longer able to speak.

But the next moment, a tall figure flew down with her.

Xu Rongrong felt herself being pulled into his embrace by a strong force.

She opened her eyes which were stung by the wind.

Mu Rong.

he came!

He held her in his arms and they rolled together into the vast night.
