Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Yang Jianwu beckoned to Hongfeng, who asked, puzzled, "Is there something you need, Young Master Yang?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask if your young master Nan is married?"

Hongfeng paused for a moment, then shook his head. "Never."

"Do you have any concubines in your household?"

Hongfeng shook his head again, "I've never heard of it."

"Do you have any maids who serve in your private quarters?"

This time, Hongfeng nodded. "Young masters from wealthy families usually have maids who share their rooms. Why does Young Master Yang ask about this?"

Yang Jianwu remained silent and directly called Qingdai back. In this era, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention maids. Her father loved her mother so much, and before they got married, he had two maids. Later, those two had wicked thoughts, and Yang Jianwu had already dealt with them when she saw the signs. She was still very young at the time, and no one knew that she had dealt with them. Everyone thought it was an accident.

She was reborn here with memories of her past life, and the idea of ​​monogamy was deeply ingrained in her, making her unable to accept this, nor could she accept having such people around her. These past few years, her family has lived harmoniously, and she had almost forgotten about it.

At home, her parents had arranged dates for her, but she rejected them all with a simple, "Is he good enough for me?" The partner she longed for belonged only to her. This world... has so few of them; she'll probably grow old alone.

"It's nothing, just asking casually. It's getting late, and we must set off soon. Farewell. Here, take this for Young Master Nan's medicine." Yang Jianwu tossed a bottle of medicine to aid in wound healing to Hongfeng, thus concluding their acquaintance.

Hongfeng was completely bewildered. Why did Young Master Yang's expression change so quickly? Oh well, taking care of Young Master Nan is more important.

The road is facing the sky, go to one side.

"Miss, they're heading to Yunzhi," Luo Li reminded them as they headed in the opposite direction.

"Yes, Yunzhi has been rumored to be a paradise on earth in recent years, and many people want to come and explore it. That's normal. Just do your own thing." Yang Jianwu lay on the soft couch in the carriage, letting the four maids serve her. She looked at the scenery outside the carriage window, looking very relaxed and content.

Outskirts of Cloud City

"Master, this Yunzhi is truly astonishing! The main road is paved with silver, and the city walls are incredibly high!" Hongyun exclaimed in shock as he looked at the towering city walls ahead.

Ye Ning was also deeply moved by what he had seen along the way.

First, Jing Nan's injury only showed hidden stitches on the surface. Compared to previous injuries, the recovery speed this time was surprisingly fast. They seemed to have come from Yunzhi. So, was it Yang Jian's medical skills or Yunzhi's medicine that were better? Next time we meet, I must sincerely thank you, but it didn't seem like everyone was very happy when they left.

Furthermore, the entire Kunpeng Avenue has a smooth surface that is not slippery even when wet, and it is said to be paved with silver ore. The road is paved entirely with this kind of silver ore, and the avenue is wider than ordinary official roads. The total amount of silver ore required is probably about half of the total amount of silver ore in Dongli.

The walls of Yunzhi are almost three times higher than those of ordinary cities, making it extremely difficult to breach. Approaching Yunzhi, the corner towers of the walls soar into the clouds, and inside are several standing chests; their contents are unknown, but it's speculated they are for defensive purposes.

The building materials of the wall seemed to be different from those of ordinary city walls. Ye Ning gave Hong Feng a hand gesture, and Hong Feng walked along the base of the wall to a deserted place. He secretly used his internal force to slap the wall, but there was not a single mark. This! How is this possible! Even if you slap an ordinary city wall with internal force, it will leave a shallow palm print. The one he just hit was like brushing away a layer of dust from the city wall, and the wall surface was completely undamaged.

Suppressing his shock, he quickly returned to report to Ye Ning.

"Master, I just struck the city wall with 50% of my internal force, and the wall was not damaged at all."

Ye Ning appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. What kind of place was Yunzhi, really?!

"Hongfeng and Hongyun, take Jingnan and me with you. The rest of you, disperse and enter the city without attracting attention."

"Yes."

The city outside Cloud City brought them a series of shocks, but once inside, they felt like country bumpkins entering the city... as if they had never seen anything before, yet they also recognized it... everything was new and exciting.

If Yang Jianwu were here, she would definitely laugh at them, saying they were ignorant.

The main road in Cloud City is smooth and straight, with houses standing side by side. Every ten steps there is a pole, and it is said that a luminous pearl hangs above the pole. At night, all the pearls shine brightly, making the entire city as bright as day. This is the origin of Cloud City's reputation as the "City That Never Sleeps".

The City Lord's Mansion, located in the center of the city, is rather unremarkable from the outside, even understated. Someone like Yun Zhijian must be extraordinary. I need to find a way to investigate; it would be even better if I could befriend the City Lord.

Let's find an inn to stay in first.

"Master, I had already inquired before coming here. Huashuiyuefang has opened a branch in Yunzhi."

Jing Nan seemed certain, saying, "Yunzhi does not accept outsiders. The waist tokens we received when we entered the city all had serial numbers on them, and we need to return them when we leave. This is to record the time we stay in Yunzhi. Since the owner of Huashuiyuefang can open a branch in Yunzhi, he must be related to the city lord. We can start our investigation from this line when we get back."

Ye Ning nodded in agreement, "Yes, you make a good point. Then when we get back to Anshun, the task of investigating the relationship between Huashuiyuefang and Yunzhi will be yours."

Jing Nan looked bewildered. "Why?"

Hongfeng chuckled softly, his head bowed. Hongyun kindly reminded him, "Young Master Nan, have you forgotten the other day at the Huashuiyuefang in Anshun, when you went out after bathing without tying your hair up and the proprietress teased you, saying, 'What a pretty girl!' She must have a strong impression of you, so you'd be the most suitable person to go."

"Shut up, you've all forgotten about this. If you bring it up again, don't blame me for settling scores with you after I recover." Having his embarrassing incident exposed, Jing Nan could only utter some weak threats.

"It's settled then. We'll adapt to the situation as it unfolds, but we can't arouse suspicion," Ye Ning said decisively.

Jing Nan inwardly groaned, but had no choice but to accept the order.

As night fell, two dark figures flew out of the guest rooms of Huashuiyuefang.

"Follow them and report back to the master," Madam Jiang instructed, watching the departing figure through the dark window.

"Yes." A figure followed closely behind.

As they approached the city lord's mansion, Ye Ning sensed someone following them. "We're almost at the city lord's mansion. Go and distract the people behind us."

"Yes, Master, be careful." Then they flew in another direction.

Ye Ning arrived at the back wall of the city lord's mansion. After a short while, he lightly leaped to the top of the wall. Before he could even stand firmly, he heard a "drip-drip" sound. Upon hearing it, he quickly regained his footing and hid in a tree.

"Who dares to trespass into the City Lord's Mansion?" The guards immediately rushed over, searching the area but finding no one, Gui Liu said to one of the men behind him, "Have Dianzi bring Hai Dongqing here."

"Yes."

Dianzi had already released the gyrfalcons to patrol when he heard the alarm, and people were also rushing over here.

Since the city lord's mansion was built, alarms have sounded many times, and no one has escaped. When they encounter difficult targets, they are caught with the help of the gyrfalcon, and each time it is a big fish.

This time, it's something to look forward to too.
