Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World
Chapter 19 Ye Ning is scratched
The gyrfalcon landed on the ground as soon as it recognized the person and slowly hopped toward Ye Ning. Ye Ning calmed himself down, thought of his guess, and took out the medicine bottle and placed it on the ground.
The gyrfalcon approached the medicine bottle carefully, confirming its authenticity. "Hmm, it smells like my master." It then leaned closer and sniffed Ye Ning's scent. "It seems he used my master's medicine. This must be my master's friend."
Um... I think it scratched someone last night. Should I apologize and try to comfort it? Or maybe it can act cute? Whenever its owner is unhappy, it acts cute and makes its owner laugh.
The falcon hopped over to Ye Ning's leg and rubbed its head against his leg. Ye Ning could tell that the falcon didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so he stopped trying to avoid it and let the falcon get close.
Seeing the falcon's abnormal behavior, Yang Jian was certain that Yang Jian was related to the City Lord's Mansion, or at least to this falcon. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the falcon would show such a friendly side when it saw the medicine bottle.
The falcon did not attack him again until he left.
The sky was turning white in the east.
"Hongfeng, immediately send men to search for Yang Jian and his group along the forks in the Kunpeng Avenue. Search all three branches and make sure they are found. Hongyun, go and tell Jingnan to set off immediately." Ye Ning gave the orders as soon as he returned to Huashuiyuefang.
Judging from Yang Jian's accent, he should also be from Dongli. The three intersections of Kunpeng Avenue lead to three different countries. Since they are traveling by horse-drawn carriage, they certainly won't be going too fast. The most likely place for them to appear now is Anshun. Hopefully, they can make it in time.

Three days later, at the gate of Anshun City
Yang Jianwu, along with Ziping and Mujin, escorted Luo Li out of the city.
"Don't see me off anymore. It's not like this is the first time we've been on a mission. If you keep being so reluctant to leave, I won't want to go either," Luo Li teased from his horse.
Yang Jianwu rolled her eyes and patted the horse's head. "Stop being so narcissistic. I just can't bear to part with Phantom. Take good care of it and be careful on the road."
"I see~ In this world, people are not even as well off as horses... Alas." Luo Li muttered.
Yang Jianwu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and slapped the horse's rump abruptly, "Enough with the nonsense, let's go and come back soon."
Upon receiving its master's command, Phantom took off at full speed, and Luo Li gripped the reins tightly, barely managing to keep his balance.
"How heartless!" Even after the phantom had flown far away, Luo Li's wails could still be heard.
Mu Jin and Zi Ping covered their mouths and chuckled behind Yang Jianwu's back. Luo Li was unaware that his young mistress had already instructed his elder brother Zi Gui to collect evidence of his uncle and Aunt Xiao's forcible seizure of his father's property, as well as their years of oppression of the people, hiring murderers, and seizing houses and farmland. This trip back was to witness their execution and to take revenge.
The young lady's motto is to always use her weapons against the enemy. She doesn't need to dirty her hands with such a shameless scoundrel. The incriminating evidence he creates is enough to send him to his death. If he has a strong backer, she can give him a push from behind to prevent blood from splattering on her.
"Mujin, go and bring the carriage. We're going to the West Suburbs Villa. The old man wrote that he's bringing some friends to Anshun for a stroll and wants me to meet them." Yang Jianwu said softly, watching Luo Li's departing figure.
"Yes, Miss. Do you need me to go back into town to buy some things to take with me?"
"Have Ziping send a message to Gui San, telling him to order a banquet from Huashuiyuefang and send it to the West Suburbs Villa. The old man likes to eat braised eel, so add less chili. Also, go to the cellar and get a jar of peach blossom wine."
Zi Ping quickly reminded her, "Miss, you shouldn't drink alcohol."
Yang Jianwu pinched Ziping's cheek, "I know~ The old man likes to drink it, so I brought it for him."
Zi Ping grabbed Yang Jianwu's hand. "You're a liar, I don't believe you. Who said I was just going to take a sniff and then drank the whole pot? Your drinking manners were terrible, and you even flirted with people after you finished. In the end, Luo Li had to carry you back."
Yang Jianwu touched his nose. In his past life, he had an unparalleled alcohol tolerance, but in this life, he gets drunk with just a sip. Three cups are enough to drive him crazy, and they still can't satisfy his cravings. Ah...
"Ziping, Qingdai isn't here, so why are you acting like a busybody again? You're usually the most obedient one," Yang Jianwu said helplessly.
"As long as you don't drink alcohol, I'll still be the most obedient girl," Zi Ping said with certainty.
"Okay, okay, just a tiny bit, alright? You know, it's rare for the old man to come all this way, I can't just not give him any face at all." After saying that, he even gestured with his finger.
"You're the young lady, you're the boss." Zi Ping said this and turned to leave.
Yang Jianwu stood with her hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks angrily, "Hey hey~ You've all gone too far! Are all my words just bullshit?!"
Mu Jin stepped forward and hugged Yang Jianwu, "Alright, Miss, don't be angry. They're like this because you spoiled them. You taught them to do this, so you'll have to bear it."
Yang Jianwu pouted, "Are you sure you're not stabbing me in the heart?"
Mu Jin feigned surprise, "You're amazing, you even noticed that."
Yang Jianwu deeply understood the saying "one breath ascends to heaven, two breaths annihilate the soul," and that you reap what you sow. Now, none of the people around her treated her as their master...
An hour later, at the entrance of the West Suburbs Villa, the carriage stopped and a hurried shout was heard: "Xiao Wu'er, get out of the carriage quickly, come with me to save a life."
As soon as Yang Jianwu got out of the car, the Ghost Doctor grabbed his wrist and ran towards the villa. Knowing that he must have encountered a very urgent problem, he followed along.
Upon arriving at the guest room, I saw several familiar faces: Hongfeng, Hongyun, Jingnan, and Ye Ning, who was sitting down. There was also an elderly man I didn't recognize, who was probably the friend my master had mentioned.
Ye Ning remained calm upon seeing Yang Jian, as if this was how it should be. He had received a letter from his master on his way to Anshun and wanted to meet him first. However, the wound from the eagle's claws began to itch and ache inexplicably halfway there, and his internal energy was suppressed, causing his lips to turn a light purple. The medicine Yang Jian had given him was gone, and the medicine they carried was completely ineffective.
After seeing the wound, the master determined that he was poisoned. His friend, the Ghost Doctor, happened to be in Anshun, so he accompanied the master to the Ghost Doctor. The Ghost Doctor examined the wound and said that he could not cure it. He said that the wound needed to be treated by his apprentice. Coincidentally, he had arranged to meet his apprentice here today, which led to the meeting.
Yang Jianwu asked Jing Nan, "Your injury has relapsed? That's impossible..."
Jing Nan shook his head. "It wasn't me, it was Ye Ning."
Yang Jianwu looked at Ye Ning, carefully observing his complexion. His lips had a light purple tinge; was he poisoned?
He stepped forward, took Ye Ning's hand, initially puzzled, then filled with anger. Without a word, he began to tear at Ye Ning's clothes. Caught off guard, Ye Ning's clothes were ripped off in large pieces. Enraged, she raised her hand to stop him, and the two began to fight.
Ye Ning's internal energy was suppressed, and he was no match for Yang Jianwu in close combat. With a backhand, Yang Jianwu pushed him down by the table, and Hong Feng and Hong Yun quickly helped him up.
Jing Nan stepped forward to dissuade him, "Young Master Yang, let's talk this out. Ye Ning is already injured, and he is no match for you now."
Yang Jian angrily pointed at Ye Ning and roared, "I thought you were a gentleman, but I never expected you to be a trespasser! How come the gyrfalcon didn't tear your back to shreds!"
Hongfeng silently added in his mind, "It was already scratched raw, but after using your medicine, the wound has almost healed."
