What to do if you receive the wrong package?

Under Shen Mujin's strict supervision, Gu Yan had to drink a bowl of bitter Chinese medicine twice a day. Because of this, Gu Yan deeply missed Xuan Yi.

Xuan Yi, please come back soon, or I'll be tormented to death by your beloved.

Just as Shen Mujin and Gu Yan were having a heated debate about whether they could eat candy immediately after taking their medicine, Su Huaiqi rushed into the room looking anxious.

"Mumu, come with me quickly, something's happened." Shen Mujin had no time to react and could only follow Su Huaiqi out, with the injured Gu Yan following closely behind.

Along the way, Su Huaiqi briefly explained what had happened. Just now, when Yu Zechuan was teaching Su Huaiqi swordsmanship in the courtyard, Feng Ting, who was beside Xuan Yi, suddenly appeared in front of the two of them covered in blood. He left only the words "Miss Shen" before falling unconscious and collapsing to the ground.

Yu Zechuan quickly had Feng Ting carried into the room and then asked Su Huaiqi to quickly find Shen Mujin.

The reason is that Xuan Yi, who went on the mission with Feng Ting, did not return with him.

Upon hearing this news, Shen Mujin suddenly stopped in her tracks, as if she hadn't heard it clearly.

"Qiqi, what happened to Xuanyi?"

Su Huaiqi also stopped and turned to look at Shen Mujin, quickly comforting her, "Mumu, don't scare yourself. It's just that they didn't come back together. Maybe the mission isn't finished yet, and Xuan Yi is still working on the mission."

"Yes, yes, Xuan Yi is the Palace Master of Weiyang Palace and the leader of the assassins. Not many people can match him. Don't worry." Gu Yan, who was following behind, was a little out of breath, but he still quickly walked to Shen Mujin's side and comforted her.

Shen Mujin nodded. She knew this wasn't the time to let her mind wander, so she forced herself to calm down and said, "I'm fine, let's go."

When Shen Mujin arrived, the doctor had not yet come. She first made a quick observation and found that Feng Ting had many superficial wounds, and the main reason for his unconsciousness was likely excessive blood loss.

"There's no time to wait for the doctor. Qiqi, go and get my medicine box. Ayan, go and ask Brother Li for some hemostatic pills. The hemostatic pills from Kunlun Ruins are more effective."

Su Huaiqi acted quickly, and soon brought over Shen Mujin's medicine box, standing aside to assist Shen Mujin who was in charge of bandaging.

On the other side, Gu Yan also insisted on walking quickly outside. As soon as he stepped out, he encountered a servant leading Jiang Si in.

"Young Master Jiang! You've arrived!" Gu Yan greeted the newcomer with some excitement.

Seeing that Gu Yan's face was still pale and her forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat, Jiang Si quickly stopped her: "Why are you walking so fast? You should rest properly."

"I'm fine. It's Feng Ting who's in trouble. His condition is quite urgent. I'll go find Brother Li to get some hemostatic pills first." Gu Yan quickly explained, and after saying a few words, he turned to walk in the other direction.

"I brought the hemostatic pills with me, they're from Deer Cry Valley, take me there." Jiang Si grabbed Gu Yan directly to prevent her from walking too much and becoming too weak.

Gu Yan didn't know the exact quality of the hemostatic pills from Deer Cry Valley, but he figured that since Jiang Si had mentioned their reputation, they must be of high quality.

Time was of the essence, so Gu Yan decisively led Jiang Si into the courtyard.

After the hemostatic pill was fed to Feng Ting, the doctor finally arrived. Seeing that the wounds on the patient's body had been mostly bandaged, the doctor could only assess Feng Ting's condition by examining his pulse and prescribe some tonics to strengthen his body and replenish his qi and blood.

Gu Yan: Great, finally someone will drink my medicine with me.

Feng Ting had practiced martial arts for many years and his physical condition was excellent. In addition, the hemostatic pills from Deer Cry Valley lived up to their reputation and had excellent effects. He woke up in less than half a day after falling into a coma.

Before Shen Mujin and the others, who were anxiously waiting, could even ask any questions, Feng Ting spilled the beans, explaining everything clearly.

A few days ago, Xuan Yi took on a job. After all, he was the master of Weiyang Palace, with a bunch of eager subordinates to support. Moreover, this task didn't sound too difficult; the employer simply wanted to obtain the famous ancient painting—"Sea and Moon Over the River."

After extensive investigations by the staff of Weiyang Palace, it has been confirmed that the "Haiyan Yueming Tu" (Haiyan Yueming Tu) is currently located at the Anping Marquis's residence in Zhongjing.

"With the skills of both the Lord and me, this mission should have been a piece of cake." Feng Ting punched the bed board in frustration.

"And then things went wrong." Gu Yan leaned back in his chair, completely losing his composure, and muttered to himself, "Serves you right for setting such a flag all the time. Now look what happened."

"What kind of accident are you talking about?" Shen Mujin frowned upon hearing this. It was strange, really. Every time she heard of or saw Xuan Yi, he was either injured or in some kind of trouble. She wondered if he would be able to escape danger this time.

"What exactly happened? Please explain more clearly." Su Huaiqi looked at Shen Mujin's ambiguous expression and knew that she was worried about Xuan Yi and wanted to help but didn't know how to start.

"Yes, yes, the more specific you are, the more likely we are to discover something that can help us rescue or find Xuan Yi in the end." Gu Yan, seeing the worry on Mu Mu's face, was also a little anxious and urged her on.

Feng Ting nodded and quickly recounted everything that had happened between him and Xuan Yi.

I probably forgot to check the almanac before going out on my mission, and for some reason, the Anping Marquis's residence was unusually lively that night.

Besides Xuan Yi and his companion who had infiltrated, another group of people had also sneaked into the Marquis of Anping's residence. Xuan Yi had planned to use a trick to expose the other group and then take advantage of the chaos to fish in the water, but he found that the other group was even more cautious than him.

Moreover, Xuan Yi discovered that although the other group had a large number of people, their lightness skills and martial arts were not as good as theirs. Therefore, Xuan Yi quickly made a decision to split up with Feng Ting. However, the two searched around the Anping Marquis's residence but could not find the map, so they guessed that the Haiyan Yueming Map had been taken by someone else.

Having failed to obtain the map, there was no need for them to remain. The two intended to return the way they came, but unexpectedly, soldiers and guards from the Marquis of Anping's residence suddenly appeared and caught them red-handed.

Moreover, the leader of the group was neither the Marquis of Anping nor his heir, but His Highness the Prince of Chu, who had no personal relationship with the Marquis of Anping's household.

"Where did you receive this mission from?" Shen Mujin asked.

"The mission was personally assigned by the Lord." Feng Ting shook his head, indicating that he was also unaware of the details.

"Um, who is His Highness the Prince of Chu? Can someone introduce him to me?" Gu Yan noticed that the others' expressions changed to varying degrees when they heard the name of the Prince of Chu, and he couldn't help but feel curious about this person.

"You don't even know the King of Chu?" Jiang Si glanced at Gu Yan, who was still pale, and handed him a cup of hot tea.

"Ah, thank you. But I really didn't know." Gu Yan accepted the tea and thanked them, then took small sips. The warm tea made him feel a little better.

Su Huaiqi hurriedly moved closer to Gu Yan, excitedly raising his hand and saying, "I know, I know! The Prince of Chu is the current emperor's fourth son, and a full brother of the eldest prince, Prince Ning. The Prince of Chu was born with congenital deficiencies and was weak and sickly. He was deprived of his right to succeed to the throne at birth, and the emperor, to make amends, granted him permission to leave the palace and establish his own residence after reaching adulthood. There are three non-royal marquises in the Great Qi Dynasty: the Marquis of Anping, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the Marquis of Zhongqing. The Marquis of Anping once wanted to marry his daughter to Prince Ning, but before Prince Ning could say anything, the Prince of Chu directly refused on behalf of his brother. It is said that he even criticized the girl, causing a rift between the entire Marquis of Anping's residence and the Prince of Chu. So the fact that the Prince of Chu appeared at the Marquis of Anping's residence with troops is really quite puzzling."

Gu Yan looked at Su Huaiqi in surprise, "Your sources are quite extensive, aren't they?"

"Of course, do you think I wasted my time at the girls' college?" Su Huaiqi proudly puffed out her chest.

"But what kind of person would knowingly help someone who has a grudge against them?" Shen Mujin asked after thinking for a while.

"Repay evil with kindness?" Gu Yan answered without hesitation.

"But would the King of Chu be that kind of person?"

“No.” Yu Zechuan, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

"Do you know something? Tell me quickly." Su Huaiqi immediately turned his head and stared intently at Yu Zechuan, urging him on.

"I'm just guessing. Xuan Yi has probably become a scapegoat. And I have another question: since you were captured, how did you escape?" Yu Zechuan looked at Feng Ting with some curiosity. Based on his understanding of the King of Chu, the King of Chu wouldn't make such a big mistake.

Feng Ting scratched his head; to be honest, he wasn't really sure either.

“Ordinary soldiers were no match for me and my lord, but a small squad that appeared at that time made things difficult for us, and that squad seemed to be more inclined to attack my lord. When my lord saw this, he gave me a signal, and I took advantage of the moment to jump onto the wall and escape.”

"Have they been relentlessly pursuing you?" Yu Zechuan pressed.

"No, not at all. I was indeed chased for a distance after I escaped, but I quickly outmaneuvered them. My injuries were inflicted by a group of men in black I encountered outside Zhongjing City. They were extremely skilled in combat, and if I hadn't had two Misty Powders, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape this time."

"Men in black again? Are they the same group as the ones we encountered before?" Gu Yan was really exasperated; there were men in black everywhere.

Can't you wear a different color of clothes if you do something bad?

"Whether they are in cahoots or not is not important. What is important is whether it was a coincidence or an inevitability for these men in black to meet you. If it was an inevitability, I'm afraid we have already been figured out and are caught in someone else's game."

After Bai Heming finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. No one wants their life to be controlled, but if it was really as Bai Heming analyzed, they needed to prepare even earlier.

----------------

Xuan Yi, who was under siege, also noticed the strange behavior of the soldiers. They seemed to be attacking him, but they didn't actually fight back. It was more like they were putting on an act.

Xuan Yi was somewhat confused about what His Highness the Prince of Chu was up to. After watching Feng Ting escape quickly, he stopped fighting and gave up resisting, allowing himself to be easily captured.

This battle was quite significant, and Marquis Anping and his heir appeared the moment Xuan Yi was captured.

The heir of the Marquis of Anping was still quite young. When he saw Xuan Yi being arrested, he immediately walked towards him aggressively. Before he had taken two steps, he was stopped by the King of Chu.

"Please wait, Your Highness. This person is from Weiyang Palace. Although he has been captured, Weiyang Palace has many vicious methods. It is safer to stay away from him."

The prince paused, no longer moving forward, and looked at the King of Chu with lingering fear. "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness."

"Your Highness is too kind. On my way out of the manor, I unexpectedly encountered this person acting suspiciously. The situation was urgent, and I took action in the manor without informing Marquis Anping. I beg Marquis Anping not to blame me." His Highness the Prince of Chu spoke with exceptional sincerity and even ordered Xuan Yi to be brought before Marquis Anping.

Marquis Anping had overheard what the King of Chu had just said to the Crown Prince, and he quickly took a few steps back in an attempt to create a safe distance.

At this moment, a servant quickly ran to Marquis Anping's side and whispered something in his ear. After the servant finished speaking, Marquis Anping's expression became noticeably more relaxed, and he said with a smile:

"Your Highness is overthinking it. I should thank Your Highness for your help. It seems that the defenses of my manor need to be strengthened."

"You're too kind, Your Excellency. This thief is in your hands now. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave." With a wave of his hand, the King of Chu immediately escorted Xuan Yi to the Marquis of Anping.

Although Marquis Anping was not in the martial arts world, he had heard rumors about the "demonic sect" of Weiyang Palace. He did not want to have too much to do with Weiyang Palace. In addition, nothing was missing. He simply wanted to pass the trouble of Xuan Yi to His Highness Prince Chu.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Since it was Your Highness who helped me capture this thief, I have a favor to ask. Everyone in the court knows that Your Highness's methods are swift and decisive. I hope Your Highness will take this person away and interrogate him thoroughly to see if we can obtain any important information."

“Since that’s the case, I won’t refuse any longer. I’m quite interested in Weiyang Palace, and I’ll take this opportunity to learn more about it. I must thank you for your generosity, Marquis.”

Both got the results they wanted, laughed together, and then parted ways.

After going around in circles, Xuan Yi was eventually taken back to the Chu King's mansion by the King of Chu and imprisoned in the mansion's secret dungeon.

Although he was imprisoned, it was completely different from what His Highness the Prince of Chu had said. There was no torture or forced confession, and three meals a day were delivered to him at fixed times. Apart from some restriction of his freedom, Xuan Yi felt that being imprisoned was so easy for the first time.

I wonder how Mumu and the others are doing.

I miss Mumu so much.
