She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

There is gain in loss, and Lian Chengmo takes it all in stride.

Lian Chengmo's words were blatantly handing a knife to the two of them. For a moment, Mu Rongyi couldn't find the right words to retort, and Murong Fu also fell into deep thought.

To be honest, the kid's explanation was very convincing, and he was actually persuaded.

"Furthermore, with my people living here, the men will farm and the women will weave. They can help manage the medicinal herb fields and grains you cultivate. As for firewood, rice, oil, and salt, I can go out and buy whatever you need, thus preventing you from being hunted down after you leave. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Upon seeing this, Lian Chengmo immediately pressed on with his persuasion.

Murong Fu listened and then suddenly laughed again.

"Haha, you scholars are really good with words, you've even convinced me."

"However, I still have one request. This poison, called 'Heartbreak Poison,' flares up once a month. Without an antidote, the liver and intestines will be torn apart, leading to death."

“If you eat this, I will let your people move in and take shelter from them.” Murong Fu said, taking out a black pill and placing it in front of Lian Chengmo, then smiling at him.

However, Lian Chengmo picked it up and ate it without the slightest hesitation, which made Mu Rongyi gasp in surprise.

"Are you stupid? That's poison." Mu Rongyi was dumbfounded.

"I have no ill intentions towards you, senior. This is my sincerity. I believe that you will one day cure me of this poison." Lian Chengmo looked at Murong Fu calmly and said earnestly, word by word.

"Hahaha, good lad, then do as you say, bring your family over. In this valley, apart from the medicinal herb fields on the east side, you can live and use the west side as you please." Murong Fu laughed loudly, then said seriously.

"Thank you, senior. I only know the general whereabouts of Murong Qing. Here is the address. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Lian Chengmo finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, gave Murong Fu a scholar's bow, left a piece of paper, and then left.

As soon as he left, Mu Rongyi picked up the note and read it.

I saw it written above.

Prince Cheng's Mansion in Yunzhou

King Cheng also built a King Cheng Palace in Yunzhou, and it was no less large than the palace city.

As for why Murong Qing was in Prince Cheng's mansion, it's because she was very ambitious. Based on the timeline, Lian Chengmo guessed that she was probably in Prince Cheng's mansion at that time, waiting for an opportunity to seduce Prince Cheng, since she later became a concubine in Prince Cheng's mansion.

However, that was in her past life. Murong Qing had finally become a concubine of Prince Cheng, but in the end, she was expelled by Murong Fu and another man. No one knew why she, a person from the martial arts world, would be relegated to the backyard, especially the backyard of Prince Cheng, such a rough and uncultured man.

However, if given another chance, Lian Chengmo felt that Murong Qing might not be able to become a concubine.

But that's not something he should worry about right now. For Lian Chengmo, the most important thing right now is to go back and bring everyone over.

However, their rafts were still too few and too small. Even if a raft was fully loaded, it could only seat twenty or thirty people at most, not to mention the luggage that Yao Li Village had, as well as the three cows and one mule that Lian Chengmo had bought.

Cattle are a very important source of labor for future land reclamation, and Lian Chengmo could not possibly abandon them. So on the way back, he racked his brains trying to figure out how to bring so many people, things, and livestock over.

He mentally considered several options, and by the time he returned to his encampment, he had a general idea.

"Young master, how are you? They didn't hurt you, did they?" Yao Dazhuang had been waiting on the road and rushed forward to ask when he saw Lian Chengmo return.

"It's alright. Doctor Murong has agreed to let us stay here in seclusion. We can go back tomorrow and bring everyone here to live." Lian Chengmo's voice was gentle this time as he shared the good news.

"Really? Then we don't need to look for a place anymore?"

"Great, at least I don't have to run away anymore."

Everyone was talking at once, their expressions full of joy.

Seeing their happy expressions, Lian Chengmo concealed the fact that he had been poisoned.

The poison in the Valley of Divine Healers must be very difficult to cure; saying it out loud will only cause everyone worry.

Moreover, Lian Chengmo didn't believe that Murong Fu would be so ruthless towards him. He believed that once the other party realized that he truly had no ill intentions towards them, Murong Fu would give him the antidote.

Lian Chengmo was not worried about this.

However, Lian Chengmo never expected that Murong Fu had not poisoned him at all; the so-called "heartbreak pill" was just a health-enhancing pill.

Inside the wooden house, Mu Rongyi said with some worry.

"Uncle-Master, you didn't ask when that kid will be back. What if his family lives far away and the round trip takes more than a month, and he gets poisoned?" Mu Rongyi's face was full of worry.

On one hand, he was worried that Lian Chengmo was a bad person who would harm him and his martial uncle. On the other hand, he felt that the other party had not done anything bad yet, so it was unlikely that he would give someone poison right away.

"Haha, Little Yi, weren't you just looking like you were about to eat someone alive? How come you're worried now that they're gone?"

"If you're worried that the kid's poison will flare up, why don't you go with him to pick him up? You can also get some fresh air," Murong Fu teased Mu Rongyi with his usual carefree attitude.

"Uncle-Master, you know perfectly well that I can't leave your side, yet you're teasing me like this." Mu Rongyi sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead, and said listlessly.

"Haha, I knew Xiao Yizi cared about his uncle the most. Don't worry, what I just gave him wasn't a poison pill, just a health-strengthening pill." Murong Fu poured himself a glass of water and said with a smile.

Murong Fu had killed people in his life, but he never killed innocent people. Although the boy from the Liancheng family seemed to be deep and scheming, Murong Fu could see the other party's sincerity.

Besides, if he wants to clean house, he'll definitely have to go to Yunzhou, which is the territory of the Liancheng family.

The fact that the other party doesn't care about the life or death of the Liancheng family shows that what he said about being hunted down by the direct descendants is true. So why would he be afraid that the other party will leak his information?

I'm afraid that kid himself would rather hide away so that no one can find out about him. Keeping someone under your nose would make you feel more at ease, wouldn't it?

Murong Fu wasn't worried at all about Lian Chengmo setting a trap for him. He was no pushover; he had survived the pursuit of various sects in the martial arts world with his nephew.

"I see. Then I'll have to keep a close eye on him from now on. What if he finds out he wasn't poisoned and leaks our information?" Mu Rongyi felt relieved but also worried upon hearing this.

After drinking a cup of water, Murong Fu shook his head at Mu Rongyi's conflicted expression.

After checking Mu Rongyi's homework for the day, he sent her to rest.

In the stillness of the night, he sat on the edge of the bed and took out half of a jade pendant, murmuring to himself.

"Murong Qing, I've finally heard from you again."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing you again..."

The next morning, Lian Chengmo went to the door of the wooden house, bowed to the master and apprentice inside from afar, said hello, and then left.

The three rafts went downstream again, and after making a difficult turn at the fork in the road, they went upstream again.
