Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 296 A Moment's Thought Across Mountains and Rivers 15

Qian Zhao's thoughts were seen through, and he looked a little uncomfortable.

However, upon hearing the answer, he was still pleased and calmed down, saying, "I don't have one either. You are the first and the last."

"If you had that, you'd be doomed!" Chu Yuebai joked with a laugh.

Qian Zhao stepped forward and hugged her, saying happily, "No, no."

In the corner, Yu Shisan and Ning Yuanzhou stood there, looking over here, and said: "See, I told you Lao Qian couldn't cause any trouble even if he wanted to. Chu Meiren is amazing!"

They were worried and came out to check on them, but were relieved to see that they were alright.

“Your mouth almost caused trouble today. Luckily, they’re alright, otherwise Chu Yuebai would have come after you,” Ning Yuanzhou said.

"I understand, I'll definitely be more careful with my words in the future," Yu Shisan said with a smile.

Chu Yuebai glanced in this direction, then looked away.

That night, the sound of arrows suddenly rang out outside, and everyone went outside.

As soon as Chu Yuebai came out, she heard Ren Ruyi say, "It's Li Tongguang."

"Get ready, we're heading over to rescue him," Ning Yuanzhou said.

Yuanlu spoke up, "Ning, does he need our help? Can't the Anguo people also hear the whistling arrows?"

“The people of Anguo are farther away than us. If we don’t rescue them, it will inevitably affect the peace talks. If we rescue them, they will owe us a favor. Is there still a problem?” Ning Yuanzhou said.

"No." Everyone shook their heads.

"Alright, Thirteen and Sun Lang, take your men and come with me. Qian Zhao and Yuan Lu will stay behind at the post station," Ning Yuanzhou instructed.

"Yes!"

Ren Ruyi said, "Thank you!" Ning Yuanzhou smiled at her.

Chu Yuebai stepped forward and said, "I'll go too!"

She had barely finished speaking when Qian Zhao stopped her: "It's enough for them to go."

"I want to go take a look," Chu Yuebai said, turning to look at him. There weren't enough of them.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Qian Zhao still compromised and said, "Then be careful."

"Well, don't worry."

Ning Yuanzhou said, "We've reached an agreement, so let's set off." With that, he led his men forward.

Chu Yuebai waved to Qian Zhao and followed him. Ren Ruyi walked beside her and said, "Are you going to join in the fun?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuebai said with a playful look in her eyes, "I'll go see your little apprentice. I've heard he's young and promising, and handsome."

"Be careful what you say now, or I'll tell Qian Zhao when I get back," Ren Ruyi said with a smirk.

"Hey, just kidding, I'm going to help," Chu Yuebai said seriously.

"Then hurry up and catch up with them." Ren Ruyi said, quickening her pace to catch up with Ning Yuanzhou and the others.

Chu Yuebai caught up with her and said with a smile, "Yes, I will listen to Sister Ruyi."

Ren Ruyi shuddered and turned to look at her: "Don't do this, I won't tell anyone."

"Haha, I know." Chu Yuebai didn't explain; she was just teasing her.

Xiao Qi said, "Host, you said yesterday that you would only tease the people you like, but today you're teasing other people."

“This is someone of the same sex, not someone of the opposite sex,” Chu Yuebai said.

"Alright, the host always has his reasons."

Upon arriving at the destination, Ning Yuanzhou said to Ren Ruyi, "You mustn't reveal your identity. We'll go, and I won't let anything happen to him."

"Then be careful!" Ren Ruyi said after thinking for a moment.

As Chu Yuebai passed by her, she said, "Sister Ruyi, don't worry."

"You're still being cheeky. Kill a few more people for me later," Ren Ruyi said.

"No problem, I'll do whatever you say!" Chu Yuebai smiled and left.

She drew her sword and went inside; she just happened to be itching to use it tonight.

She could take down the men in black with a single sword strike. Having read the plot, she knew these men were wearing protective gear, so she simply slit their throats with a single sword strike.

After waiting for a while, the leader finally came out. Chu Yuebai flashed over and killed him instantly.

“Your leader is dead, do you still want to fight?” she shouted.

Upon hearing her words, the men in black had no choice but to stop and retreat hastily, leaving only their own men in the original spot.

"Beauty Chu, you're so fast!" Yu Shisan said with a smile.

"Are you all alright?" Chu Yuebai asked.

“I just noticed something was wrong with Lao Ning. I’ll have Lao Qian take a look at him when we get back,” Yu Shisan said.

Ning Yuanzhou exchanged a few words with Li Tongguang before walking over and shaking his head, saying, "I'm fine."

After the event concluded, the people from Anguo arrived to rescue the emperor. Li Tongguang then returned with them, and everyone went back to the inn.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the post station, Qian Zhao stepped forward, first glancing at Chu Yuebai to make sure she was alright before looking at the others.

"Is everyone okay?"

"Old Qian, take a look at Old Ning, something's wrong with him," Yu Shisan said.

Qian Zhao stepped forward: "What happened?"

Ning Yuanzhou was pulled over by Sun Lang and Yu Shisan, and Qian Zhao took his pulse.

After taking his pulse, he said, "He's been poisoned. I can't tell what kind of poison it is, but if he doesn't get an antidote soon, his life will be in danger!"

Everyone looked over: "Boss Ning, how did you get poisoned?"

Ning Yuanzhou was about to shake his head when Ren Ruyi said directly, "You don't need to hide it anymore."

"Yeah, Boss Ning, you've been keeping this from us?"

Ning Yuanzhou thought for a moment, and was about to speak when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ning, boss!"

"Old Ning!"

Everyone went over to help him up. Ning Yuanzhou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm fine, I can hold on. As long as we get the antidote, that's all that matters."

"What kind of poison did you get?" Qian Zhao asked.

"It's a ten-day talisman. Before I set off, Zhang Song made me take it in order to keep me in check. The antidote will be given every ten days," Ning Yuanzhou said.

"Where's the antidote? Let's go get it!" Yu Shisan said hurriedly, and the others echoed him.

"How much longer can he hold on?" Ren Ruyi stepped forward and asked.

Chu Yuebai didn't notice their conversation; she was looking for something.

"Host, what are you doing?" Xiao Qi asked as she saw Chu Yuebai rolling up his sleeves.

"I need to find someone who can cure the poison, and see how effective the pills I've concocted are!"

"Host, are you using people as test subjects?"

"My medicine, how could it be ordinary?" Chu Yuebai said confidently.

As she finished speaking, she pulled out a small, transparent bottle containing a red pill.

"Host, this color looks like poison," Xiao Qi said.

"It does contain a potent poison, which is used to fight poison with poison. Combined with antidotes, it can neutralize any poison."

She went inside, where everyone was helping Ning Yuanzhou to bed, while Ning Shisan walked out.

"Where are you going?" Chu Yuebai asked.

"I'm going to get the antidote. Old Ning won't last much longer!" Yu Shisan said.

As Chu Yuebai walked inside, she said, "No need, I have the antidote!"

"What! You have the antidote!" Yu Shisan turned around and followed her.

The people inside his voice heard it and looked over.

"Sister Yuebai, do you really have an antidote?" Yuanlu asked.

Chu Yuebai nodded and handed the bottle to Qian Zhao: "The antidote!"
