Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Mo Ye was amused by the appearance of the gyrfalcon. Xiao Wu'er's pets were all very intelligent, but the names she gave them were... terrible. He originally thought the name "Phantom" was quite good, but later he learned that it was a name that General Yang had hastily decided on because he was afraid that his daughter would really name the horse "Big White".

Now it seems that, apart from the name "Haidongqing" being quite nice... Da Jin, Xiao Jin... sigh... I heard there's also a Xiao Bai, but I wonder what kind of creature it is...

Hai Dongqing also noticed Mo Ye, tilted his head to look over, and lo and behold, it was the person he had captured last time... Hai Dongqing was a little awkward, slowly moved behind Yang Jianwu, and dared not look at Mo Ye.

"Huh? Oh my, you're afraid to meet people?" Yang Jianwu stepped aside to let Hai Dongqing out. "Come out quickly, let's get acquainted. This is His Highness Prince Ning, one of our own."

The gyrfalcon made two "coo-coo" sounds as a greeting.

Mo Ye walked up to the gyrfalcon and squatted down, trying to touch its head like Yang Jianwu did. The gyrfalcon proudly raised its head, saying that not just anyone could touch an eagle's head!

Yang Jianwu found it amusing and gently patted the gyrfalcon's head. "Silly bird, what did Prince Ning do to offend you? You were the one who scratched him last time."

The gyrfalcon buried its head in its wings this time and wouldn't come out no matter how much they called. Yang Jianwu suddenly had a thought, "Your Highness Prince Ning, could it be that the gyrfalcon has taken a liking to you?"

Mo Ye nearly choked on his own saliva. "Cough cough!!"

Yang Jianwu explained in a serious tone: "Look, it's a female, and judging by its age, it's about time. Most importantly, it's a little shy and embarrassed when it sees you."

Mo Ye really wanted to pry open Yang Jianwu's head to see what kind of nonsense was inside. "Don't you think it's because she's embarrassed to face me after scratching me last time?"

Yang Jianwu nodded. "Hehe, that's possible."

"Also, please don't call me Your Highness anymore. Just call me by my name, or Senior Brother is fine too."

Yang Jianwu figured that since she was going to pursue him anyway, calling him "Your Highness" would be too formal, so using his name was fine.

“I dare not call you by your name directly. How about I call you ‘Brother Ye’? Now that you and the gyrfalcon have officially met, it won’t attack you again next time it comes at night.”

Mo Ye pinched the bridge of his nose. "Can't I just come in openly and honestly?"

Yang Jianwu shook her head directly, "Of course not. There are countless eyes watching at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. The slightest movement could alert the informants from the surrounding Three Kingdoms. I always go out through the back door."

Mo Ye didn't understand. "What about the back door? Isn't anyone monitoring the back door?"

Yang Jianwu smiled mysteriously, "Brother Ye, don't you think it's very quiet at the back gate of the City Lord's Mansion?"

Mo Ye thought about it carefully and realized it really was true, especially the street leading to the back gate of the city lord's mansion, which seemed isolated from the world... like, "an array?"

Yang Jianwu snapped his fingers. "Bingou, Brother Ye is clever! It's just a simple formation; the common people won't accidentally wander in."

"So, whoever stole the lamp must have carefully observed the people coming and going in and out of the City Lord's Mansion!" Mo Ye asserted, then raised a question, "Then why was I able to walk in? Also, from what you're saying, the City Lord's Mansion was also explored before?"

Yang Jianwu rolled her eyes at Mo Ye, continuing to stroke the gyrfalcon. "This formation is controlled by fragrance. There's a hallucinogenic plant growing near the back door, so ordinary people can't see the street entrance. You have to carry a special sachet to enter and exit. You arrived at a good time; we had just parted ways that day, and the fragrance on you hadn't dissipated yet, which is why you were able to enter! As for why the others were able to enter earlier, it's because the plant wasn't mature! If it's not mature, it won't emit enough fragrance. Why did our gyrfalcon scratch you? I guess it's because the medicine wasn't on you at the beginning!"

Mo Ye gave Yang Jianwu an approving look. "Yes, it was my first time coming in, and I didn't bring any medicine. I escaped from the manor, and the gyrfalcon followed me out. Hong Feng was afraid I would be scratched again, so in a moment of panic, he smashed the gyrfalcon with a medicine bottle. The gyrfalcon sniffed the bottle and then flew away. I guessed that you must have some connection with the City Lord's Mansion, or at least with the gyrfalcon. So when I returned to the inn, I brought the medicine that Qingdai had secretly given to Jing Nan. This time, the gyrfalcon didn't attack me again."

Yang Jianwu applied more pressure while stroking its fur, and "Screech—" the gyrfalcon cried out in pain, looking at Yang Jianwu with a wronged expression, as if accusing her! Yang Jianwu gently patted the gyrfalcon's head, "Silly eagle!"

This incident also served as a wake-up call for Yang Jianwu. "It seems I need to check their personal medications regularly from now on, so that no one with malicious intent can exploit their weaknesses."

Mo Ye also agreed, "It is necessary! In particular, you must strictly order your subordinates not to give the medicine away to others in private."

Yang Jianwu clicked her tongue twice, "If it weren't for Qingdai giving you the medicine, how would you have had the chance to enter the City Lord's Mansion again? And you even saw things you shouldn't have seen."

Mo Ye knew that the woman had recalled some unpleasant things, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake, "Little Wu'er, please don't hold a grudge against me. Please stop bringing up the matter of me sneaking into the city lord's mansion at night."

Yang Jianwu pouted and started bringing up old grievances, "Hmph! Who said I disregarded human life? Who said I was cruel?"

Mo Ye was bad at coaxing girls and felt a bit overwhelmed. He only knew that if he didn't appease her now, his path to winning her over would be even more difficult. "It was my fault. I apologized before. It was all my fault. Why don't you hit me?"

"I wouldn't dare..."

If that doesn't work, try changing the subject. "Little Wu'er, take me to that glass room. I really want to see the model; it's so realistic."

The "glass room" that Mo Ye mentioned was actually a glass room, which was a scenic spot in the entire city lord's mansion. Outsiders were not allowed to enter casually. It was Yang Jianwu's training center. Yang Jianwu thought that if she wanted to get closer to him, she could share some secrets. Besides, many people had been to the glass room, so it wasn't a big secret.

"Come on, let me show you around my office."

"office?"

"Um... it's a room for handling official business, you can also think of it as a study."

"Oh."

The two bid farewell to Hai Dongqing and went to the glass room. This time, Mo Ye carefully examined the mansion. The thin red lines in the shadows were still there. Yang Jianwu noticed Mo Ye's gaze and took the initiative to explain, "Those are infrared sensors. They will sound as soon as they are touched. Gui Liu can clearly see the location of each sensor point and use this to determine where someone has broken in."

Mo Ye remarked on the truth, "There are many things in the City Lord's Mansion that you can't see outside."

Yang Jianwu chuckled. Of course, no one outside could see it. Unless there was another person like her, there was truly no one else like her!
