While treating Jingnan's wound, Qingdai explained, "The wound must be cleaned thoroughly, and it would be best to disinfect it. However, the conditions here do not allow for that, so I can only give it a simple cleaning. If we can find a water source later, I will clean it for you in a more thorough manner."

As long as Jingnan could be with Qingdai, he didn't care about the wounds. "Okay, whatever you say, I'll do it."

Qingdai lowered her head and smiled shyly. She took out the wound medicine and carefully sprinkled it on the wound. The wound medicine prepared by Yang Jianwu contained some antibacterial ingredients, so applying the medicine to the wound was particularly painful.

After the medicine was applied, Jingnan was covered in cold sweat. Qingdai carefully wiped him clean and wrapped the wound with a strip of cloth, afraid of hurting Jingnan again.

After the antibacterial effect of the wound medicine wore off, the pain was not so obvious. The woman's soft, boneless hands touched his body with an unusually strong sensation. A faint fragrance lingered around his nose, and Jing Nan felt even more desperate... This tempting little white rabbit... He could look but not touch... Only those who have been through it know the feeling.

Qingdai didn't notice anything unusual about Jingnan. After bandaging him up, she helped him put on his clothes and said, "Jingnan, I'm going to find something to eat. Don't wander around here."

Um... Qingdai suddenly remembered that Songyin had told her not to run around before she left, and a sense of anxiety welled up in her heart. Songyin must be worried. She didn't know how things were going with Prince Ning. She didn't dare to launch a signal flare now. If it attracted the accomplices of the men in black, she couldn't guarantee that she could kill them all.

Several more men in black arrived on Mo Ye's side, but Jing Nan was nowhere to be seen. The men in black intended to eliminate the entire group, and Mo Ye was struggling to fight them off. Hong Feng and Hong Yun had recovered some strength but could only barely cope, and they also suffered some minor injuries.

Three men in black attacked Mo Yu simultaneously. One of them launched a sneak attack from behind, and just as he was about to succeed, a pheasant knocked the attacker off balance.

"Your Highness, be careful!" At the critical moment, Song Yin rushed back and immediately slit the throat with a sword. Before the man in black could even see who had done it, he was already lifeless.

"Ah-" Hongfeng was poisoned by a man in black, and now his internal organs were burning with pain, and his whole body was curled up.

Song Yin was the strongest fighter around Yang Jianwu. It was easy for her to deal with several men in black. After finishing off the last man in black, she sheathed her sword, ran to Hong Feng's side, grabbed Hong Feng's chin, and flicked an antidote pill into his mouth.

Hongfeng was coughing because he choked on the antidote pill, and she didn't even tell him. Can't this woman be a little gentler?

Sensing Hongfeng's mournful gaze, Songyin completely ignored him. "I'm saving you. One antidote pill costs one hundred taels. Remember to give it to me later."

Hongfeng coughed even harder now, "Cough cough~ I didn't ask you to give me any."

Song Yin curled her lip, her eyes showing disdain, "A head of the secret guards can't even come up with a hundred taels?"

Hongfeng choked. If he dared to say he didn't have any, wouldn't he be making Prince Ning lose face? He stiffened his neck and said, "I don't have any on me. I'll give it to you later."

"Hmm," Songyin responded faintly, looking around for Qingdai's figure. "Your Highness Prince Ning, where is Qingdai?"

Mo Ye was also worried about Qingdai and Jingnan, so he told Song Yin that the two had lured the men in black away. Song Yin's expression immediately changed, and she repeated incredulously, "Qingdai led the injured Young Master Nan away from the assassins?"

Mo Ye didn't understand why Song Yin was reacting so strongly. "Yes, but is there something wrong?"

Songyin asked anxiously, "Which direction did they run in?"

Mo Ye pointed to the forest path, "They led people into the forest."

Songyin mounted her horse and was about to give chase when Moye stopped her and reassured her, "Don't rush. You are all Xiaowu'er's subordinates. Your martial arts skills are already unmatched. Mujin and Ziping have also demonstrated their skills in the army. Qingdai and Jingnan are together, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Songyin shook her head. "Your Highness Prince Ning may not know, but Qingdai suffered from a serious illness when she was young and is not suitable for martial arts. That's why Miss is so lenient with her, and we always protect her when she goes out. She can handle two or three people by herself, but she can't take care of more than that."

Mo Ye's heart tightened. Jing Nan was already injured, and Qing Dai was no longer able to fight. The two of them were in grave danger. But with so many people unable to move, he couldn't just abandon them. It was a matter of life and death, and no matter how difficult it was to choose, he had to make a decision.

"Songyin, stay here. I believe they will be safe. Right now, only the two of us in the whole team can move freely. If another group of men in black attacks, they will have a hard time dealing with it."

Songyin glanced at the group of people who were all weak, some leaning, some sitting, which was clearly a sign of Chinese medicine.

He dismounted, took a water pouch, and added, "After taking the antidote, Hongfeng can move freely as well."

Hongfeng tried to move around a bit, and his strength had returned. He also felt his internal energy, which was about to recover.

Songyin crushed the antidote pill and put it into the water. After it dissolved completely, she passed the water bag around so that everyone could take a sip.

Yang Jianwu's antidote pills are considered top-notch in this underdeveloped continent. One pill mixed with water is enough to instantly neutralize the poison inflicted by the man in black.

Hongyun exclaimed, "This medicine is amazing! One hundred taels is definitely worth it. It's an essential item for long journeys!"

Hongfeng glanced at Hongyun, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

Hongyun immediately fell silent upon realizing what was happening.

Song Yin didn't say much to them, but looked at Mo Ye and said, "Your Highness Prince Ning, I'm worried about Qing Dai. If something happens to her, I will have failed Miss's trust in me."

Mo Ye was also worried about the two of them. "Let Hongfeng and Hongyun accompany you first. We'll be there shortly."

Song Yin clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness Prince Ning." Without waiting for Hong Feng and Hong Yun, he mounted his horse and rode away.

Hongfeng and Hongyun followed behind. Hongfeng was in good spirits because he had taken the antidote pill. He chatted with Hongyun, saying, "This woman has no femininity at all. Her clothes are neither male nor female. And her martial arts are so high. She will definitely have a hard time finding a husband in the future."

Hongyun thought of the scene when Ziping competed with him in archery and agreed in his heart, "Miss Yang's maids are really all very capable. Apart from Qingdai and Young Master Nan taking a liking to each other, the other three will have a hard time finding husbands. I wonder which man can stand them."

Hongfeng seemed to be venting his frustration over the hundred taels of silver, "Yes, especially this one, she always has an icy face, like everyone owes her money..."

Hongyun laughed and said, "Are you upset with someone because of that hundred taels?"

Hongfeng immediately denied it, "How could that be!"

Hongyun comforted her, "That's good. Miss Yang's medical skills are superb. She was able to develop an antidote for all poisons. She must have used a lot of good medicinal materials. Don't forget, someone was rolling on the ground in pain back then."

"Who's rolling around on the ground...?"

Songyin listened to their conversation. She didn't care about her own part, but Qingdai's was a cause for concern.

Even Prince Ning's secret guards could see that Young Master Nan and Qingdai had feelings for each other. If this got out, how would Qingdai ever get married? Now that the two of them left at the same time, there would probably be even more gossip after they were found.
