Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

"How dare you!" the old shaman roared angrily. "Do you know who we are? How dare you speak to us in such a tone! Be careful, or you'll lose your position!"

Ye Yan didn't take the old man's threat to heart. He simply said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, you came to Qianzhou City this time because you wanted the Seven Star Grass, didn't you? Now that the Seven Star Grass is in my hands, it doesn't matter who you cooperate with. Why do you only hope for that good-for-nothing Lin Boguang?"

"I can give you the Seven Star Grass, as long as you help me get a seat in the Thousand-Patrol." Ye Yan said, "I can give you the Seven Star Grass, as long as you help me get a seat in the Thousand-Patrol."

"Isn't this a great deal?" Ye Yan said confidently. "Now everyone in the world knows that the current emperor is bedridden and has to hand over the affairs of state to the prime minister and the crown prince."

"This Seven Star Grass is a good medicine. Whoever can obtain it and present it to the Emperor will surely be highly valued and rewarded! If you agree to my request, I will serve you faithfully after I ascend to the position of Imperial Attendant!"

Upon hearing this, the old eccentric man's mind raced. "Since you've put it this way, then we'll help you out. Where's the Seven Star Grass?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yan excitedly took out a herb from his pocket and respectfully presented it to the herb.

The old eccentric looked at him, then smiled calmly, handed the Seven Star Grass back, and said, "Seeing how much you want to supervise the work, you can have this Seven Star Grass delivered to Jingcheng as quickly as possible."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yan's expression suddenly froze. He asked, puzzled, "Father-in-law, is it appropriate for me to go?"

Whoever brings the Seven Star Grass back to Jingcheng will be highly valued by the Emperor.

He himself had considered that he could deliver the Seven Star Grass to Jingcheng on his own.

But he was also afraid that Long Aotian had already spread the news of the Seven Star Grass, and whoever had the Seven Star Grass would become the target of everyone's hatred...

"What are you afraid of?" The old yin-yang man looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Take this herb and get my waist token, and you will have no trouble on your way."

As the old eccentric man spoke, he took a gleaming golden token from his waist.

"This is an opportunity for you. If you are a talented person, let alone the position of a thousand-mile patrolman, even if you were to be appointed as a general, what difficulty would there be in obtaining it?"

"Yes, Ye Yan understands!"

Although this is a very risky thing, how many opportunities does one have in a lifetime to rise to the top?

Now that such an opportunity has finally appeared, no one would sit idly by and miss out!

Upon hearing this, the old eccentric smiled with satisfaction, then waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

After Ye Yan respectfully clasped his hands and left, the old yin-yang man immediately said to Xiao Fuzi beside him, "Go and spread the news so that the Left Commander of Huayi Mansion knows who has the Seven Star Grass."

"Yes, godfather."

"Wait a minute." The old shaman called out to his godson, instructing him, "You must guarantee that this herb will fall into the hands of the Hua Yi family, and that she won't suspect anything, understand?"

"I understand, please rest assured, Godfather!"

Upon hearing this, the old eccentric was relieved and allowed his godson to leave on a fast horse.

He himself, sitting in a carriage, took one last look at Qianzhou City, and chuckled to himself, saying:

"Little thing, I never expected you to be so lucky, that you actually escaped this calamity..."

At that very moment, dark clouds gathered over Qianzhou City, and a storm was brewing...

"What did you say?" In Long Aotian's courtyard, his mouth gaped open, forming a large "O." "This Seven Star Grass is highly poisonous?!"

“Yes, it’s not just Seven Star Grass, but many herbs are the same. Only when used correctly can they cure diseases and save lives, otherwise they are killing people.” Shi Yiguang, who had already written the prescription for Jiang Beichuan, nodded and replied, “Originally, my master’s old friend asked him to come out of seclusion because Seven Star Grass contains a deadly poison. Otherwise, why would he go in person? Wouldn’t it have been better to just have someone deliver the medicine to him?”

"This……"

Long Aotian couldn't refute it, but he immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

"By the way, Lord Shen, weren't you going to help me find my master's whereabouts?" Shi Yiguang closed her medicine box and looked at Long Aotian, asking, "How's it going? Any leads?"

“Your master…” Long Aotian looked troubled, hesitating to speak.

"What happened to my master?" Shi Yiguang looked at the stammering Long Aotian and a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.

"Miss Shi, your master is very likely dead..."

"what?!"

Shi Yiguang looked at Long Aotian in disbelief and asked, "This is impossible! My master had a golden waist token personally delivered by the commander-in-chief of the Huayi Mansion when he entered Jingcheng this time!"

"Within the Celestial Empire, who wouldn't show deference upon seeing this token? Officials of all ranks in the prefectures and counties would hold banquets to welcome them. How could anyone..."

“Those are a group of bandits,” Long Aotian said in a deep voice. “You’ve been in Qianzhou City for some time now, you should have heard of the notorious bandit Wang Wu…”

“This…” Shi Yiguang staggered and burst into tears.

Jiang Beichuan wanted to step forward to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

Just then, the sound of tiles being crushed underfoot suddenly rang out from the eaves above their heads...

Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan exchanged a glance, then immediately pulled Shi Yiguang and led her to hide under the eaves.

"Shhh."

"Lord Shen, what's wrong?"

"The people of the Night Guard got the Seven Star Grass and were afraid that I would reveal the news, so they sent someone to kill me to silence me."

"what?!"

Just as the two were talking, the two figures flew down!

Jiang Beichuan drew his sword and launched a sneak attack, throwing out his horizontal blade. However, his opponent reacted incredibly quickly, raising his hand to knock the blade away!

Without any further ado, the two men in black drew their blades horizontally and took two large strides, attacking Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan!

"Beichuan!" Upon seeing this, Long Aotian threw out the horizontal sword in his hand.

Jiang Beichuan parried the attack, blocking the two men's assault, but he himself coughed up blood due to the surging of his blood...

Upon seeing this, the two assassins in black leaped into the air and delivered a flying kick, sending Jiang Beichuan crashing into the room.

Long Aotian stood in front of Shi Yiguang, looked around, and finally picked up a broom and waved it wildly, saying, "Hey, hey, hey, let's talk this out, don't fight!"

"Hehe, prepare to die!"

As the two men in black raised their knives, several hidden weapons suddenly flew out from a distance, catching them off guard and killing them instantly.

Just as Long Aotian breathed a sigh of relief, the assassins who had just launched their hidden weapons seized the opportunity to leap forward. Holding knives, they demanded of Long Aotian, "Where is the Seven Star Grass? Hand it over now!"
