Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Lucheng is a small city with a population of less than two thousand. About one-third of the people who were poisoned this time took decoctions to detoxify them. There were also some people who had minor ailments before taking the medicine. A total of 720 people recovered after taking the medicine. Yang Jianwu's space gained a total of 720 medical points. One medical point per person is a bit cheap, but there are too many people.

After the banquet, Feng invited Prince Ning and the Ghost Doctor to rest at the Prefect's residence. Once in the room, the woman was so happy that she collapsed onto the bed.

"Haha~ 720 medical points, that'll last me a while. It would be a lie to say I'm not tired, but I'm so happy."

Yang Jianwu was so happy that she even rolled around on the bed with her blanket.

"Oh dear, I'm so happy but there's no one to share this moment with. It's true that being invincible is lonely."

Alone, I do whatever makes me happy, my body swaying freely as I dance a sexy Latin dance, humming: "How lonely it is to be invincible~ How empty it is to be invincible~ Alone on the summit, the cold wind keeps blowing~ My loneliness, who can understand me~~"

On the other side, Prince Ning did not rush to rest. He informed the prefect that the well water had been poisoned, but did not say who had poisoned it. He only told the prefect to strengthen the defense and be more vigilant.

Forgotten on Little Golden's back by a certain woman, Nangong Yan was utterly devastated. Where was he? Who had he offended? How did he end up on the giant eagle's back? Every time he moved, the little one next to him would poke him... It hurt so much... He wanted to go home...

The advantage of hypnosis is that the hypnotized person does not know what happened after waking up, and even if they occasionally recall one or two fragments, they will think it was a dream.

Yang Jianwu and Mo Ye stayed at the prefect's mansion for two days, and they were genuinely happy for the people as they watched them gradually return to normal life.

The bustling commercial street was filled with people, and the whole town was full of life. Waterside pavilions and flowers were reflected in the flowing water, and willow leaves rustled in the green shadows. Ancient roads, stone bridges, and blue bricks and gray tiles made it look like an ink wash painting.

It was three days later that Prince Rui, Mo Feng, led his men into Lu City. Because everything had been arranged in advance, he was in no hurry to enter the city. The greater the casualties among the people, the more likely he was to appear in time to control the epidemic and win the favor of the people.

At this time, throughout the streets and alleys of Lucheng, people were hearing about how Prince Ning had saved Lucheng, completely unaware that Prince Rui, whose rule had already changed, was still leisurely riding his horse at the city gate.

Yi Song was Mo Feng's personal bodyguard. After Prince Rui arrived in Lu City half a day later to check the situation, he rushed over to report the news of Prince Rui's entry into the city.

"Your Highness, things have changed. Prince Ning arrived in Lucheng a day earlier and has already found the Ghost Doctor to detoxify the people."

Prince Rui gripped the reins tightly. "A bunch of useless fools! Wasn't Mo Ye supposed to be in Anshun? How could he have arrived in Lucheng so quickly! And what's the Ghost Doctor doing with him?!"

Yi Song lowered his head slightly. "Your Highness, we have not yet found out why Prince Ning arrived so early... As for the Ghost Doctor, according to the information we have gathered, Prince Ning and the Ghost Doctor should have a very good relationship, and Prince Ning was even taking notes during the Ghost Doctor's free clinic."

Prince Rui gritted his teeth. All the effort he had put into setting up the scheme had ultimately benefited someone else, and that someone was his own enemy!

"He wasn't actually on good terms with the Ghost Doctor; he did that to win over the people!"

Thinking of something, he asked again, "Where are the Nangong family members?"

Yi Song forced himself to speak, "Your Highness... when I went to find Prince Nangong, he was no longer at the residence."

Enraged, Prince Rui lashed out with his whip at Yi Song, who gritted his teeth and endured the pain, daring not to make a sound.

A guard in black robes came to persuade him, "Your Highness, please calm down. The most urgent matter at hand is to resolve the issue of Lucheng."

"Solve what? The people are all better off! What's there to solve?!"

Prince Rui was furious that his plan had been ruined, and he no longer cared about his usual gentle demeanor; now he just wanted to vent his anger on someone.

The black-robed guard raised his voice, "Your Highness! Please reconsider!"

Prince Rui composed himself somewhat, "What insightful opinion does Young Master Ji have?"

Young Master Ji's voice was somewhat effeminate as he smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Rui, if the poison can be cured, it can naturally be administered again. As long as we insist that the Ghost Doctor misdiagnosed, the credit for Lu City will still belong to you."

"Hehe~" Prince Rui resumed his usual refined demeanor. "With Young Master Ji's personal assistance, I have nothing to worry about."

The Ghost Doctor cured the poison yesterday, so Prince Ning must know that someone deliberately poisoned him, and now he must investigate who is behind it.

Very few people knew about Nangong Yanlai's poisoning of Lucheng, presumably because he was afraid of being caught and had retreated first.

Now that Nangong Ji is by his side, with him personally taking action, he is not afraid of any tricks the Grand Preceptor of Nan Yue might play, nor does he need to worry that Mo Ye will suspect him.

"In that case, I will have to trouble you, Young Master Ji! I am extremely grateful!" Prince Rui said politely.

Nangong Ji sneered inwardly. "Old fox, trying to use someone else as a shield. Doesn't he even know if he's qualified? I only said I would poison him, not that I would be held responsible if the truth came out."

As the group walked into the city, soldiers guarded all the wells, preventing the people from getting close to the water sources. If they wanted to fetch water, the soldiers would do it for them.

Nangong Ji observed silently, memorizing the locations of the two wells where water was drawn in concentrated quantities.

Prince Rui and his entourage arrived at the Prefect's residence. He naturally exchanged pleasantries with Mo Ye and Prefect Feng. Nangong Ji, acting as a guard, stood watch at the entrance, then excused himself to use the restroom. The Prefect's residence was small and had few servants; they found a secluded corner to begin their operation.

Most of the Gu techniques in Nan Yue are controlled by the royal family. Nangong Ji has been learning Gu techniques since childhood. He doesn't think much of controlling one or two insects on a daily basis. But thinking about what he has to control this time, he feels a chill run down his spine.

Nangong Ji concentrated and whistled softly. Soon, two hamsters ran out of the bushes. Looking at their drab gray appearance, Nangong Ji felt disgusted and a little nauseous. But for doing something sneaky, there was no better choice than them.

The rat-controlling whistle was something the Grand Tutor forced him to learn before he came to Dongli. He thought he wouldn't need it, but he didn't expect to need it as soon as he entered Lucheng. It seems the Grand Tutor was indeed farsighted.

Nangong Ji poured the poison powder into two paper packets, then tied them to the hamster's tail. While whistling, he thought about the route from the prefect's mansion to the well, forcibly imprinting the memory into the hamster's head.

It took a lot of effort to get everything done, and then I whistled to let the hamster leave along the designated route.

Hai Dongqing was originally in the forest with Xiao Jin watching over Nangong Yan, but it was too playful and secretly ran off to find Yang Jianwu.

Yang Jianwu was still dressed as the Ghost Doctor, and the gyrfalcon recognized its master by its scent. It hopped around Yang Jianwu and followed her everywhere. So when Prince Rui came, she played with the gyrfalcon in the backyard.

The strange whistle alerted both the man and the falcon, who had sensitive hearing, and they quietly followed the sound.
