Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Yang Jianwu curiously peered over the wall and saw Nangong Ji lurking suspiciously in a corner by the wall.

She knew that Prince Rui had arrived at the prefect's residence. She had spent the last two days there and had met most of the people. This person, dressed in black and sitting in a corner, did not seem to be a servant of the prefect's residence, so he could only be someone brought by Prince Rui.

Prince Rui wanted to use the epidemic to gain the favor of Emperor Dongli, but they ruined his plan. Are they planning to pull another dirty trick?

Well, let's just take a look then, since we're just killing time anyway.

The gyrfalcon's eyes lit up the moment the two hamsters appeared. Clever as it was, it knew it couldn't make a sound at this moment. It nudged Yang Jianwu's arm with its head and gave a hint: "Hey, Master, did you see that? Delicious food!"

The hamster was too small, and Nangong Ji's body was mostly obscured, so Yang Jianwu didn't see the hamster. When she suspected that the man in black was sent by Prince Rui, she immediately activated her spatial object recognition function.

As Nangong Ji made his move, the space indeed displayed a series of poisonous creature names!

That heartless bastard Mo Feng is actually thinking of poisoning again! Damn it, treating human lives like a game, he's a real scoundrel! Emperor Dongli is blind too, he needs to be properly examined when he has time!

Yang Jianwu cursed Emperor Dongli and Prince Rui in her heart, and continued to wait for the man in black to make his next move.

Nangong Ji designed a route for the hamster to climb over the wall, follow the route he remembered to the well, and finally have the hamster jump into the well with the medicine packet... Hmm! Poisoning successful!

Animals in nature all have their own characteristics, and the result of implementing a plan that ignores the characteristics of the animals themselves is that—two hamsters had just climbed onto the wall when, with a long "screech," before they even knew what was happening, they were caught by the gyrfalcon with lightning speed!

Hai Dongqing followed Yang Jianwu around. Having been exposed to the smell of medicine since childhood, he naturally knew that there was poison tied to the hamster's tail. He snapped off the hamster's tail with two quick bites!

I swallowed one whole—delicious! Since I started living with my owner, I've rarely eaten rodents!

The other one, in front of Nangong Ji, slowly tortured the hamster, swaggering around until it was barely alive before eating it.

Nangong Ji stared dumbfounded at the two severed tails, each strapped with a poison pouch… Where did these eagles come from?! His carefully laid out plan had been aborted before it even began!

Yang Jianwu, watching from the top of the wall, burst out laughing. The gyrfalcon was awesome! He deserves extra chicken legs tonight!

Nangong Ji looked in the direction of the laughter and saw an old man. Being able to move freely within the prefect's residence, this man was very likely the Ghost Doctor! He already knew about the poisoning, and he absolutely couldn't let him discover the poison packet on the ground!

Yang Jianwu knew that Nangong Ji had noticed her, so she decided not to hide anymore. She climbed down from the wall and went around the crescent gate to find Nangong Ji.

In the short time it took for the Ghost Doctor to arrive, Nangong Ji picked up the poison packet with the severed tail tied to it from the ground. The plump, soft texture was absolutely disgusting! Was it too late for him to regret it now?!

When Yang Jianwu arrived in front of Nangong Ji, Hai Dongqing had just finished chewing the second hamster. It hopped over to Yang Jianwu and turned back into its adorable, silly self!

Yang Jianwu kicked the gyrfalcon away, saying, "You just ate a rat, stay away from me!"

The gyrfalcon felt wronged. They are natural predators of rodents, and for its owner's sake, it had already been hunting rodents much less. It had just done such a big favor, and its owner was still complaining about it. *sobs*

"Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful. You've scared this guy."

In fact, Nangong Ji was genuinely somewhat intimidated. Their royal family, who raised and controlled Gu, had the most contact with insects, and only two or three people were skilled in controlling rodents.

The royal family naturally has pets, such as cats, dogs, rabbits, and deer, which they use to attack wild beasts from a distance when hunting!

This was my first time getting up close to a bird of prey... and such a fierce one at that...

If Nangong Yan could hear Nangong Ji's inner thoughts at this moment, he would definitely smile wryly and comfort him, "Cousin, the real power is right here with me!"

Nangong Ji took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil. "May I ask who you are, sir?"

Yang Jianwu showed no mercy and directly exposed her, "What are you pretending for? You don't know who I am?"

Nangong Ji was somewhat embarrassed. "I heard that the Ghost Doctor is staying at the Prefect's residence. I presume you are the Ghost Elder."

Yang Jianwu never shows mercy to those with ulterior motives. Oh, right, he doesn't show mercy in words yet, but it's not time to actually do it.

"Old? What do you mean I look old?!"

Nangong Ji hurriedly corrected him, "I misspoke. You must be the Ghost Doctor."

"What senior? Who is your senior? Having a descendant like you is the worst luck imaginable. Your ancestors were wicked and didn't even burn incense for good. They did all sorts of bad things. Be careful you don't have any descendants!"

Nangong Ji felt a surge of anger, but considering his current situation, he couldn't lash out. He could only continue to put on a fawning smile, "Ghost Doctor, this is our first meeting. Do you have some misunderstanding about me? Don't be so harsh with your words."

Yang Jianwu felt nothing but contempt for Nangong Ji. All those who partnered with Prince Rui were the same! Stubborn to the end!

"Since you know I am the Ghost Doctor, you'd better confess what you just did. I don't like trouble. If you cause me trouble, you'll only cause me more trouble!"

Nangong Ji was slightly startled. Could it be that the Ghost Doctor had seen everything? Impossible...

Controlling a mouse requires concentration, but even an eagle can make noise! ​​Being so close, it would definitely detect if it flapped its wings! Where exactly is the problem?

Anyway, I have the evidence in my hands. As long as I don't admit it, there's nothing the Ghost Doctor can do!

"Ghost Doctor, I really don't understand what you're talking about. How about letting Prince Rui vouch for me?"

Oh dear~ Trying to use someone as a scapegoat, huh? Yang Jianwu really wondered if Prince Rui had lost his mind. Didn't he do any background checks before hiring anyone? Just a few words and he'd forced someone to use him as a shield. What a failure as a person…

"I don't have time to play with you. Let me tell you, when it comes to poison, I'm the master!"

Without wasting any more words with Nangong Ji, he directly ordered Hai Dongqing to go and find those two packets of poison!

"Wow—"

The gyrfalcon lunged into Nangong Ji's sleeve, and Nangong Ji naturally parried, and the man and the gyrfalcon began to fight in the courtyard.

Yang Jianwu could tell that Nangong Ji had real skills. Worried that Hai Dongqing would get hurt, she went up to help. As long as the opponent couldn't use his internal energy, close combat would be the woman's domain!

Soon, the poison packet in Nangong Ji's sleeve was knocked to the ground. Hai Dongqing picked it up with disgust and threw it aside. Seeing that the packet had been discovered, Nangong Ji could not stay there. He used his internal strength to push Yang Jianwu away and took the opportunity to escape.

Yang Jianwu dodged the palm strike imbued with internal force, but when she tried to give chase, Nangong Ji had vanished without a trace.
