The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 423 Border Refugees
"What did you add to this sweet-scented osmanthus cake? How did you know we would come to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Shen Changyan's voice was not loud, but sharp.

The plump sweet-scented osmanthus cake shopkeeper's face turned pale with fright, and he waved his hands in a trembling voice and said: "As a food shopkeeper, how could I poison the food I sell? Isn't this a self-defeating sign? I don't want to open another shop in the future, but this It’s my job to support my family, I really didn’t poison my food, please let me go.”

These words silenced Shen Changyan, he believed what the shopkeeper said.

Then someone else poisoned?
Bai Zhi had an idea in her mind, she held Mu Shuan's hand, and asked softly: "Mu Shuan, did you come up with the idea of ​​buying osmanthus cake for us?"

Mu Shuan shook his head and replied: "No, it was an old man who told us when we three brothers were discussing how to give gifts to our aunt and uncle on the street."

"Grandpa? What does he look like?" Bai Zhi was startled and hurriedly asked.

Mu Shuan saw the difference in her expression and asked puzzledly: "Auntie, is that grandpa a bad person?"

Bai Zhi thought for a while, then took Mu Shuan's hand, and his spiritual consciousness entered his meditation world.

She saw the old man that Mu Shuan met, who looked exactly like the Taoist against Heaven that she saw in Magic Valley.

Letting go of the peg, Bai Zhi told Shen Changyan and Grandpa Bai what she saw in secret words.

"Did he come to this town?"

Grandpa Bai shook his head and replied: "I think he didn't really come. He should still be in seclusion. But if he doesn't come as a substitute, then we don't know. Well, let me handle the matter here. You just go to Yan Kingdom with peace of mind. As soon as Taoist Nitian comes out of seclusion, I will try every means to contain him. I am afraid that I am the only one who can deal with that old poison."

Bai Zhi understands that Grandpa Bai said this on purpose, he hid his strength before to protect them.

Now he is openly provoking Daoist Nitian to protect them.

When Taoist Nitian comes out of seclusion, he will definitely fight with him first.

"Grandpa Bai, then you..."

Before Bai Zhi finished speaking, she was interrupted by Grandpa Bai.

"Girl, don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan looked at each other. Things in Yan State were imminent and there would be little delay. Otherwise, once the two countries started to fight, not only would the people of the two countries be tortured by the flames of war, but Taoist Taoists would also take advantage of the situation.

Both of them even had an idea, that is, the rumors of the sudden death of the seventh prince of the Yan Kingdom were probably related to Taoist Nitian, and maybe it was his people who did it secretly.

The influence of the Taoist against the sky must have penetrated deeply in the country of Yan, otherwise the Seventh Prince would not have been planted with dead blood Gu.

"Grandpa Bai is so poisonous..."

Bai Zhi also had unbearable pain in her abdomen, but her symptoms were relatively mild, perhaps because of her martial arts skills.

The tall, short and half-grown men were all in terrible pain.

Mu Shuan may have had a blood poison date with her, so his symptoms were not particularly serious.

Grandpa Bai took out a small porcelain bottle from his body.

"This is the Baidu Powder I made, which can detoxify the world. Give it a try."

As he spoke, he ate one by himself first, and then handed it to Bai Zhi.

After Bai Zhi ate it, the stomach pain stopped immediately.

After everyone ate it, the toxicity was eliminated.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but marvel: "Grandpa Bai is still very good at making detoxification pills, please teach me how to make it?"

Grandpa Bai leaned close to her ear and whispered the prescription for dispensing the medicine.

Bai Zhi suddenly sighed: "Ah, this medicinal material should be added. Why didn't I think of it? This medicinal material can transform hundreds of poisons, but it is ineffective when used alone."

"Thank you, Grandpa Bai."

Grandpa Bai shook his head and said with a smile: "Girl, you are polite to me and treat me as an outsider, right?"

Bai Zhi stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Hey, I'm just being polite, so as not to teach them a bad lesson by not thanking them."

"Let's go quickly. Let me handle the matter here. I'll stay with him for a few more days, and I'll deal with today's matter clearly, lest the wicked escape back by chance, as if we are incompetent." Bai Grandpa made arrangements.

Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan naturally believed in his ability, and after readily agreeing, they took the tall, short, and Linglong half-sized men to say goodbye to Grandpa Bai, Prince Mu Shuan, and the others, and headed straight for the country of Yan.

This side is close to the country of Yan, and the group hastened their horses, but in five or six days, they have already reached the border between the country of Great Xia and the country of Yan.

At first, I saw a few people fleeing sporadically on the road, but then there were more and more people.

Bai Zhi frowned unconsciously and said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that the border is no longer peaceful? Where are our defenders? They are so ineffective. Before the fighting started, people began to flee to the rear. If the fighting started, wouldn't it be …”

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she reined in the horse's reins, jumped off the horse, and asked the fleeing crowd.

"Where did you come from, and where are you going?"

An old woman gasped and said, "Girl, why are you still going forward? The Yan soldiers in front are constantly harassing us, and our border army can't stand it. Old people and children will be killed...turn around quickly, don't go any further, or you may meet Yan Bing sometime, and your life will be gone. We fled along the way, and we are mostly dead by now."

The people around also echoed: "That's right, turn around quickly, those Yan soldiers are not human at all, they are animals..."

Seeing the tired and desperate faces of those common people dragging their families along, Bai Zhi's heart was extremely heavy.

She couldn't do anything to help them now, so she could only sigh deeply, get on the horse again, and spur the horse to speed up.

Seeing this, the others also whipped their horses and followed closely behind.

The closer to the border, the more refugees there are, even blocking the road.

It took half a day to walk, but I couldn't walk out in a day.

But when they were about ten miles away from the border, there were suddenly fewer refugees, but they were shrouded in a bloody murderous aura.

The short man said happily: "Did the Yan soldiers retreat? No more harassment, there are fewer refugees."

Linglong spat at the side: "Idiot, it's not that there are fewer refugees. Haven't you been to the country of Yan? This place is only ten miles away from the country of Yan. Naturally, it is the most severely damaged place. The people would have fled if they could. Those who couldn’t escape were almost killed, how can you still see the fleeing people?”

Hearing this, the short man suddenly realized, with a sad look on his face: "It's too tragic. Yan country thieves are not human beings. What's the point of hurting unarmed people? If you have the ability, go to the barracks."

"They must have avoided the barracks and attacked the people. What's more, they probably used magic soldiers. Even our border soldiers were unable to resist. It's not surprising that there are many refugees at the border before the war begins. I hope there will be more refugees at the border. That didn’t happen.”

Linglong was analyzing the situation in front of her.
