Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Chapter 329 The Return Team

Southern Yue Capital - Runan Prince's Mansion

In the dark, damp, and pungent room filled with the smell of medicine, the candlelight flickered and cast distorted shadows on the walls.

An elderly man draped in a heavy black cloak appeared quietly. He was hunched over and took each step carefully, the sound of his footsteps echoing clearly in the quiet room.

Nangong Ji stepped forward and bowed, "The Grand Preceptor has arrived."

"Um……"

The Imperial Advisor's voice was hoarse and rough, like the low growl of a wild beast; each word he uttered sounded like a painful lament.

The burning pain in his throat was a constant reminder of what had happened to him.

During the explosion, the Imperial Advisor was knocked unconscious by Yang Jianwu's enhanced sleeping potion, but fortunately, his natal Gu sensed something was wrong and bit him awake in time.

The effects of the drug hadn't worn off, and his body was numb and unable to move. He barely managed to crawl to the entrance of the tunnel when the explosion occurred.

The impact blasted him into the tunnel, his body was almost burned to a crisp, and his throat was ruined from inhaling too much smoke.

"Thank you for your trouble, Grand Preceptor."

Nangong Ji welcomed the Grand Preceptor to his seat, then lifted his right sleeve to reveal a "broken and battered" arm.

The Imperial Advisor, trembling, picked up the knife, preparing to cut away the rotting flesh on Nangong Ji's arm.

The Gu breeding farm was bombed, and the newly cultivated corpse Gu had a short lifespan, making the support arm even less effective.

If Nangong Ji's arm is replaced too late, the flesh will quickly rot and stink, just like now, requiring him to endure the pain of having his flesh cut off.

The sharp blade lightly touched the putrid skin, producing a faint scraping sound.

"hiss--"

Nangong Ji's body trembled violently, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and a look of pain appeared on his face as he forced himself to remain silent.

The Imperial Advisor carefully made a cut along the edge of the rotting flesh, and dark red blood instantly gushed from the wound, staining the surrounding gauze.

As the knife was sliced ​​away, the rotten flesh was peeled away bit by bit, and a pungent smell of blood and decay filled the air.

Nangong Ji's body trembled incessantly, his clothes soaked with sweat, but he kept his teeth clenched tightly, his hands gripping the hem of his clothes so hard that his fingernails almost dug into the fabric.

The Grand Preceptor's forehead was covered in sweat, and his breathing became rapid and heavy, but he still did not stop what he was doing.

Those who achieve great things must learn to be patient.

After uttering those words, the Imperial Advisor was almost exhausted and had to catch his breath for a while before continuing his work.

"The Imperial Preceptor is right."

Nangong Ji bowed slightly, his face filled with a perfectly measured humble smile.

“You are absolutely right, and I will certainly follow your teachings.”

The words of agreement were like a meticulously arranged musical movement, with every note precisely catering to the Grand Preceptor's wishes.

His brow furrowed slightly without his noticing, and those subtle wrinkles concealed a deep sense of resentment and indignation.

After a difficult effort, the Imperial Advisor cut away all the rotten flesh from Nangong Ji's arm. He breathed a sigh of relief, slowly put down the dagger, and reached his hand to the side.

Tieshan handed over a box containing a wriggling corpse worm.

The Imperial Advisor placed the Corpse Gu on the wound, and the Corpse Gu burrowed into the opening, starting to spin silk like a spider. The dark silk wrapped around the bones and tendons, establishing a connection.

Nangong Ji trembled again.

pain!

When will this end?!

After finishing everything, the Grand Preceptor showed a relieved expression on his scarred face.

Dongli · Suburban Courtyard

Yang Zigui and his team have assembled.

"Miss, everyone except Gui Er and Gui Liu has arrived and is ready to depart at any time."

Gui Er was responsible for the security of the Anshun General's Mansion, while Gui Liu was in charge of guarding Yun Zhi.

One is home, the other is the base camp; both places are indispensable.

"You've made excellent arrangements. Gui Er and Gui Liu are indeed not suitable to travel with the team."

Yang Jianwu stood quietly at the window, her gaze slowly sweeping over the neatly arranged lines in the courtyard.

The sunlight shone down, casting a soft halo around everyone's figures.

They stood tall and straight, with resolute eyes, and every subtle movement was perfectly synchronized, demonstrating their well-trained demeanor.

Looking at the neat rows of people in the courtyard, my thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.

Despite being a little girl, she spent those years with everyone, whether sweating profusely under the scorching sun or persevering through the biting cold wind.

Every fall and rise, every failure and success, flashed through her mind like movie clips, as if it had just happened yesterday.

Those once-naive faces have now matured and become confident, each capable of standing on their own.

Yang Jianwu, "Time flies..."

Yang Zigui nodded in agreement, "Yes, Miss has grown into a young lady and will be getting married soon..."

Yang Jianwu, "..."

Did she mean it?

Besides, it's impossible for him to get married out; Ah Xuan is going to marry into the family!

Yang Zigui crossed his arms and sighed softly, looking at the familiar faces in the courtyard, his heart filled with emotion.

Nowadays, half of the Guizi team members are married. Thanks to Miss, these secret guards who can't be seen in the light of day can live in the open.

No longer will they die with regrets, widowed, or alone.

Yang Zigui pointed to one of them, "Do you remember when you were nineteen? He wasn't much older than you when he joined the Guizi Team."

Yang Jianwu looked in the direction the finger was pointing and saw a spirited young man.

"I remember, he ran incredibly fast."

The Guizi Team was the first special operations team established by Yang Jianwu, and the selection process was extremely rigorous.

"The nineteenth formation keeps making mistakes; their steps can't keep up with the rhythm..."

She demonstrated it to me countless times, and finally corrected me by hand. Nineteen, who had a conservative mindset, was so embarrassed by her mistakes that she blushed.

"It's thanks to my special talent that I was admitted despite not meeting the usual requirements."

Yang Zigui laughed and said, "Miss has a discerning eye. This kid is now the most sought-after member of the team. Everyone wants to take him on missions."

"Yes, all my hard work in cultivating it was worth it."

Back in the day, directing a boy several degrees taller than myself was really hard on my neck...

Yang Jianwu rubbed her neck secretly; it was still slightly sore.

"Yes, they have all lived up to Miss's expectations."

The subsequent teams were also excellent, scattered across different outposts.

Just like the Guizi team, all members of the Ion team were entrusted with important tasks.

Yang Zigui bowed deeply to Yang Jianwu, expressing his gratitude for her patronage and guidance, and for... such profound kindness that words cannot express his thanks...

"Brother Zigui, please be careful on this trip, and everyone must return home safely."

"Don't worry, Miss, I'll take my leave now."

"Take care of yourself."

The grand procession headed north...

Two years later...

The village that once sold human flesh has become the center of the city;

The village, which used to fight for food to survive, now has its own granary;

Extensive mineral veins have been discovered between Qingmu Village and Yufeng Village...

Both Dongli and Xipan sent troops to occupy Bingyun Village, which had its own defenses and was resisted with firearms. The outcome was predictable.

Bingyun Village became Bingyun City, and Young Master Wuji's fame spread far and wide.

Even Xiao Jin and Ying Bao became good friends.
