Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World
Chapter 18 Night Visit to the City Lord's Mansion
Hongfeng carried Ye Ning back to their room at Huashuiyuefang using his light-footed skills. Jingnan noticed Ye Ning's pale face and asked, "What happened? Are you injured?"
Hongfeng replied, "My master and I parted ways near the city lord's mansion. I went to distract the people who were following us, and when I came back, I saw my master being chased by a large bird, which looked like an eagle."
"It's a falcon from the City Lord's Mansion, and it's a falcon with white jade claws." Ye Ning said, enduring the pain.
Jing Nan asked anxiously, "How badly are you injured? If it's a falcon from the City Lord's Mansion, then we can't go to see a doctor right now, your injury..."
Thinking of something, she took out a bottle of medicine from her waist. "This is the medicine that Qingdai secretly slipped into my waist this morning. She said it has a miraculous effect on external injuries. Take off your clothes and let Hongfeng apply it for you."
"Qingdai?" Ye Ning asked, her face full of questions.
"Yes, it's the girl who was next to me when I woke up this morning, the maidservant of Young Master Yang." Jing Nan's face flushed slightly.
Ye Ning was worried that Jing Nan might fall in love, so she reminded him, "Your marriage is not something you can decide for yourself. If you like her, you can take her into your household. However, that Young Master Yang is the kind of person who would personally cook for his subordinates, so he must be extremely protective of his own. He might not be willing to let her go."
Jing Nan's face instantly returned to normal. He handed the medicine bottle to Hong Feng, saying, "I just thought she was cute and had a good impression of her. She's just a girl. Don't worry about her for now; your injury is more important."
Ye Ning took off his clothes, revealing his back. Three claw marks were so deep that bone was visible. Hong Feng thought of the attack on his master by the falcon when he returned to the city lord's mansion. He broke out in a cold sweat. The falcon's attack power was so strong. If it weren't for the medicine left by Young Master Yang, his master's back would probably have been torn to shreds, and he himself might not have been able to escape unscathed.
Putting aside her thoughts of applying medicine to her master, she felt another wave of gratitude towards Yang Jian.
"Remember to keep some; I need them." Ye Ning recalled the falcon's reaction and needed to confirm one thing.
"Hmm? Yes, Master."
After applying the medicine, Ye Ning felt a cool sensation on her back, and the burning pain seemed to have disappeared. What a wonderful medicine! Was it prepared by the Ghost Doctor or by Yang Jian?
Hongfeng applied only a thin layer to Ye Ning and handed the rest of the medicine bottle to his master.
Ye Ning twirled the medicine bottle in her hand, examining it closely. Both the bottle mouth and the stopper had rotating patterns, and the two fit together perfectly when rotated. This design was ingenious and much better than the stoppers she usually used.
He tucked the bottle into his waistband and asked Jingnan, "How is your injury?"
Jing Nan's eyes lit up instantly. "Young Master Yang's medical skills are truly excellent, and his medicine is also very good. When he changed the bandages at night, I could hardly see the wound. If it weren't for the faint pain inside reminding me, I would never have believed that I had been seriously injured here."
"It worked so well?!" Ye Ning knew how serious Jing Nan's injuries were, and he had already prepared for the worst. He didn't expect that Yang Jian would save him and he would recover so quickly.
He had been on the battlefield before and knew that swords and spears had no eyes. As long as a soldier was injured, he would sprinkle some wound medicine on the wound and bandage it with gauze. Even if the wound was not deep and he received timely treatment, the wound would still fester and eventually he would die.
The military doctor has been searching for the cause of the suppuration but has been unable to find a solution. Perhaps we could ask him to come and offer some guidance.
Putting aside Yang Jian's character, his medical skills are definitely among the best in the Yunhai Continent. We need to find him. Even if we can't recruit him, we should at least get him to teach the suturing techniques to the army doctors. This would greatly reduce casualties.
At midnight, Ye Ning's injuries only caused a slight pain. Looking at the medicine bottle in his hand, he changed into his night clothes again and quietly flew out of the Flower Water Moon Pavilion.
The back wall of the city lord's mansion
This time, Ye Ning did not rashly climb over the wall. He carefully observed the extremely thin red line. There were actually several lines on the top of the wall. If you didn't look closely, it would be very difficult to spot them.
Avoiding all the red lines, I climbed over into the courtyard and observed carefully. I found that there were also these red lines in some inconspicuous corners and on the roof beams. The red lines would make a sound when touched. With such thorough protection, it's no wonder there were so few guards patrolling.
Carefully groping his way forward, he noticed that the courtyard seemed to be planted with many medicinal herbs, as it had a pleasant herbal fragrance. After passing through the courtyard and dodging a patrol of guards, he sneaked into a room that appeared to be made of glass. His awe of the wealth of the Cloud City Lord's Mansion grew even stronger.
Dongli does not produce glass, but a small glass ornament the size of a palm can sell for a thousand gold pieces. The number of such glass houses built is incalculable.
Upon entering the room, I saw two humanoid figures. My body reacted faster than my mind, and I grabbed their necks with both hands. Hmm? Why are they so stiff? Are they corpses?! ...
Using the light from outside, I could make out the "person's" appearance; it looked like a layer of skin covering the outside... the facial features were painted on... the body was completely naked... This...
Just as I was about to look away, I saw that one of the bodies was covered with dense writing. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was acupuncture points. Martial artists like them only knew some important acupuncture points. Dongli also had acupuncture skills, but it seemed that he didn't know this many acupuncture points...
Looking at the other body, I was shocked. Most of the head was exposed, the limbs were skinned flesh, and a large hole was cut open in the abdomen, revealing various organs. I don't know how, but the organs were firmly fixed in the body... It's as if the internal organs were meant to be there.
Ye Ning broke out in a cold sweat and slowly released the two corpses, not noticing the faint finger marks left on their necks.
A quick glance around the room revealed neatly arranged glass bottles of various sizes, each containing an unknown liquid. On a large table were many unfamiliar metal utensils, made of what appeared to be black iron, but much harder.
Touching this and examining that, Ye Ning looked around the room like a curious child, finding everything new and exciting. Apart from the two corpses, any one of the items could shock the entire Cloud Sea Continent.
The Lord of Cloud City is a genius who can build all these things. He can crush a country with his wealth alone. We must not make enemies with such a person. I wonder what kind of person the Lord of Cloud City is, and whether he will become friends with Dongli.
I quietly left the room and walked in another direction. It seemed to be another courtyard, but this one was so empty. Was it a martial arts training ground? I didn't see any training equipment... There was a small room in the corner of the courtyard... This place is so strange...
As Ye Ning pondered, a shadow rushed over. He stood up to dodge, and after recognizing it as a falcon, he got up and tried to run.
The gyrfalcon accelerated and charged towards Ye Ning, forcing him to stop. The man and the eagle stood facing each other.
