Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Hong Dian was speechless, "Uh..."

Mu Jin waved the little gold snake in her hand, "Look, isn't this snake golden, and quite small?"

"right……"

Mu Jin pointed to the golden eagle that had already flown far away, "Look how big that golden eagle is!"

"Yes……"

"That's it!"

Mo Ye sighed, thinking that Xiao Wu'er was terrible at naming things. This name was both fitting and random. He definitely couldn't let her name their future child... Uh... He shook his head with a wry smile. Why was he thinking about the child? He hadn't even confessed his feelings to her yet, and Xiao Wu'er didn't seem to have any special feelings for him. Sigh, the road to winning her heart was long and arduous... When would he finally get her?

The group arrived at the inn on Kunpeng Avenue before sunset. As soon as they entered, the innkeeper personally came out to greet them. Yang Jianwu saw that there were still a few scattered guests in the inn and gave the innkeeper a wink. The innkeeper immediately said to Mo Ye, "Welcome, esteemed guests, to our humble abode. Are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

Hongfeng took out a silver ingot and handed it to the innkeeper, saying, "Have your meal first, then prepare two superior rooms and two ordinary rooms."

The shopkeeper took the silver. "Yes, sir, please come in."

After a satisfying meal, the group arrived at a private room on the top floor. The innkeeper proactively returned the silver to Hongfeng, who was puzzled by this action...

Song Yin's cool voice drifted past my ear, "One of us."

Hongfeng, "..."

Mo Ye dismissed everyone to rest, leaving only Yang Jianwu, Mo Ye, and Manager Mu in the private room.

Manager Mu knelt down and bowed to Yang Jianwu, saying, "Greetings, Master."

Yang Jianwu helped herself up, "Manager Mu, please get up. You've worked hard."

Manager Mu cupped his hands in greeting, "It's all what I should do."

Yang Jianwu knew that Manager Mu must have something to report if he stayed. "This is His Highness Prince Ning. She knows that I am the master of Yunzhi. Please speak freely."

Mo Ye was secretly delighted. Did Xiao Wu'er's willingness to introduce him to her subordinates mean that he had gained a higher status in her heart?

Manager Mu was filled with mixed feelings of joy and surprise. Was his master choosing a husband? Apart from his subordinates, the Prince of Ning was the first outsider to know his master's identity, and he treated Mo Ye with considerable respect.

"Yes, Master. Two days ago, our men captured several civilians at the border between Nan Yue and Dong Li. They were releasing large quantities of 'guosuo' (a type of poison) into the fields near Hanling County. These people were all skilled in martial arts, and it was clear that this was premeditated. Upon investigation, they were indeed spies from Nan Yue. The crops will soon be ripe, and if the 'guosuo' are allowed to run rampant, the harvest will be greatly reduced. The messenger we sent did not know that Master had already left Anshun; he probably took the wrong route and did not encounter you." The shopkeeper reported the information he had gathered to Yang Jianwu.

"Guo Suo? What kind of thing is that?" Yang Jianwu's mind raced. What was this thing?

The shopkeeper explained, "Master, it's a kind of insect. It's recorded in books as 'Guo Suo,' which describes it as having many legs and a restless appearance."

Yang Jianwu used his divine sense to quickly check the control panel. Oh! It was a crab! Thinking of the bright yellow crab oil, the rich crab roe, and the tender white crab meat, and the delicious taste that filled his mouth, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Mo Ye's expression froze for a moment. Was he seeing things? Was he hungry?

Yang Jianwu realized what was happening, and looked down to wipe away non-existent drool. "Guo Suo, right? He has a hard-shelled eight-legged creature and can walk sideways."

Shopkeeper Mu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's the kind of insect."

Yang Jianwu was certain it was a crab, and laughed even harder. "Manager Mu, don't worry. Just have someone arrest Guo Suo, and we'll hold a Guo Suo banquet in Hanling County, and that will solve everything."

Manager Mu broke out in a cold sweat... Could Guo Suo even eat that?! Remembering what he'd heard about his master forcing the special training team to eat live earthworms, he now completely believed it was true! His young lady was capable of such a thing!

Yang Jianwu couldn't wait to eat crabs, and said to Manager Mu, "Manager Mu, send a basket of Guo Suo to Hanling County by carrier pigeon tonight. It would be best if it arrived tomorrow. I'll prepare a Guo Suo feast so that everyone can have a taste."

Manager Mu wanted to refuse, but he dared not disobey the order. "Yes, I will do it right away."

Seeing Yang Jianwu's delighted expression, Mo Ye asked, "You're so happy just to be able to eat Guo Suo?"

Yang Jianwu nodded happily, "Of course! It's been a long time since I've had this. I never expected that the people of Nanyue would be so blind to its value. They've offered us a way to make money, so we shouldn't refuse it."

Although Mo Ye had some doubts, he believed that Yang Jianwu already had a plan, and he just needed to support her. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Look at how hungry you are, I want to try Guo Suo's taste too."

Yang Jianwu looked at Mo Ye with the curiosity of a child, "Your Highness Prince Ning, do you dare to eat it?"

"I dare you!"

Yang Jianwu clapped his hands, "That's great, you have good taste! Guo Suo's delicious food can't be described in just a few words, you'll know once you try it tomorrow. Now hurry up and take a shower and go to bed."

"Go get a good wash?" Mo Ye was dazed as Yang Jianwu pushed him out of the room.

The original plan was to head to Yunzhi the next day, but the journey was changed because of Guo Suo. Yang Jianwu sat by the window all morning, eagerly waiting for the two fast horses to finally arrive. They were Dianzi and Guiqi.

"Wow~ Here we come! Come on, Qingdai, let's go to the kitchen!" Yang Jianwu grabbed Qingdai and ran off. "Okay, Miss, slow down."

Hibiscus and Pine Sound followed closely behind.

Mo Ye also wanted to go into the kitchen, but was eventually kicked out.

Luo Li and Dianzi hadn't seen each other for a long time, so it was a good time for them to get together. They invited their new brother Hong Dian to have a few drinks, much to the envy of the other guards.

Yang Jianwu looked at the Guo Suo that had been delivered, her eyes crinkling into slits with a smile. "This Guo Suo is also called a crab." She tapped and touched this one with her fingers, then picked up a slightly larger one and sighed, "It's a pity that the timing is a bit off. If it were autumn, when the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, that would be the perfect time to eat crabs. The crab roe and crab paste inside the shells are so delicious and not to be missed."

Qingdai looked at the crab with its claws outstretched and was a little scared. "Miss, how are we supposed to eat this?"

Yang Jianwu pointed to the steamer next to her, "You can just steam the crabs directly to preserve their original freshness to the greatest extent. Steaming looks simple, but there are some techniques involved. If you just put them directly in the pot to steam, they'll be ruined. Adding a few steps will make the meat tender, and prevent the legs from falling off or the roe from leaking out."

"Legs fell off?" Mu Jin wondered how her legs could have fallen off.

Yang Jianwu chuckled, "Do you think it's hot inside the steamer?"

"Of course it's hot..."

"Don't you understand? Crabs are in pain! They struggle so much during the heating process that their claws can easily fall off."

Mu Jin covered her face, "Okay, I understand."

Qingdai pinched the crab's claws. "Miss, there's so little meat on the crab's legs, can it taste good?"

Yang Jianwu's hands moved swiftly as she skillfully sliced ​​ginger and scallions. "Everyone has different food preferences. Some people like crab meat, while others prefer crab roe."
