Chapter 608: The Not-so-Bloated Nalan Yiren
Nalan Yiren did not comment on what Chen Mo said.

Seeing that the matter had been preliminarily settled, both parties sat back in the corner of the inn and closed their eyes to rest.

The rain had not stopped yet, but the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the post station.

Nalan Yiren opened her eyes first, and a black poisonous bee flew out from her robe sleeve and flew towards the outside of the post station.

"It's the horses of the Marquis and General Yue. They are inside."

"..."

Then, the sound of conversation rose up from outside the post station.

Chen Mo and Yue Ruyan stood up, and the former said, "It's Sun Meng. It seems he is here to look for us."

As he said that, he looked at Nalan Yiren and said, "Girl, don't be nervous, she is mine."

Soon, Sun Meng, wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, came out with his men. The rain turned into water drops and dripped from their bodies, soaking the ground.

"My Lord, General Yue, I saw that you didn't have umbrellas or raincoats, and I was worried that you would get wet, so I brought someone with me... who was that person?"

As Sun Meng was speaking, he suddenly spotted Nalan Yiren in the corner. She was wearing a black robe, looked bloated, had a sinister look in her eyes, and was wearing a half mask. She didn't look like a good person. He immediately drew his sword and became alert. The soldiers next to him did the same, slowly approaching Nalan Yiren, trying to surround her.

The guards outside the house heard the noise and quickly surrounded the post station. Some soldiers holding crossbows aimed at Nalan Yiren through the window.

The whole process takes no more than ten breaths.

After all, it was their first meeting, and both sides were on guard. Moreover, as a top-grade warrior, Nalan Yiren had amazing reaction speed, and she acted at the moment when Sun Meng and the others drew their swords.

Nalan Yiren's black robe fluttered in the wind.

I saw that around the waist, thighs and calves of the Nalanyi people, there were small bamboo cages and various bottles and jars hanging or tied. Poisonous snakes, scorpions and centipedes quickly crawled out of those bamboo cages.

When Sun Meng and the others saw this scene, they were so scared that they instinctively took a half step back, and then took a step forward.

"How dare you." Chen Mo shouted at Sun Meng, "This is a friend I just met. Why don't you put away your weapon?"

"Yes." Sun Meng and the others put away their weapons.

"Miss Nalan, I'm sorry, this is their duty. Please forgive me, relax and don't be nervous." Chen Mo said.

Nalan Yiren frowned, and then said in her unique smoky voice, "The subordinates of the Duke of Anguo are really well-trained."

She could see that if she were replaced by anyone below the middle-grade warrior, she would be shot into a hedgehog in an instant with just one order from Chen Mo.

She raised her hand, placed two slender fingers to her mouth and blew gently. The poisonous insects that heard the whistle crawled back into her black robe and returned to the bamboo cage.

"woman."

While Sun Meng was surprised, he also glanced at Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren with a strange look.

However, this furtive glance was naturally noticed by Chen Mo, who glared back.

Sun Meng quickly lowered his head and said, "My Lord, I have brought a raincoat with me. Do you want to leave now or wait until the rain stops?"

Chen Mo glanced out the window. The heavy rain had turned into light rain. Judging from the dark sky, the rain would not stop for a while.

He looked at Nalan Yiren: "Miss Nalan, let's go."

Nalan Yiren nodded and walked out of the post station, without taking off the straw raincoat she was wearing.

At the door, Nalan Yiren stopped, then slowly raised her hand, clenched her five fingers into a fist, and then blew gently into her fist.

"咴咴."

A chestnut horse came galloping out of the abandoned stable of the post station, and Chen Jun's personal soldiers in the courtyard made way for it.

At this time, Chen Mo and Yue Ruyan also put on their raincoats. Seeing this scene, Chen Mo chuckled and said, "What a smart horse."

"The Snow Dragon Horse in the stable is yours, right? This horse is very intelligent. Mine is just an ordinary wild horse that has been well trained." As she spoke, Nalan Yiren pointed her toes, leaped up, and landed on the horse's back.

If her figure wasn't so bloated at the moment, the picture would have been very beautiful.

This chestnut horse had no reins or saddle, but after Nalan Yiren sat on its back, she sat very steadily.

"Let's go."

After the personal guards brought the horse over, Chen Mo climbed onto it.

Yue Ruyan hung the broadsword on the knife hook, jumped on the horse, and followed closely behind.

The group headed towards the barracks.

The official road was flat. After walking along it for a while, the group arrived at a huge camp.

In the eyes of the Nalan Yi people, this camp, whether viewed from the left or the right, was endless, and there were soldiers patrolling inside and outside the camp.

There are chevaux de frise in front of the camp.

When the soldier on guard saw Chen Mo, he quickly shouted: "Duke Anguo has returned to the camp."

"Duke Anguo, return to the camp and open the gate!"

"Open the door!"

The chevaux de frise were removed.

The gate of the camp was also slowly opened.

Through the door, Nalan Yiren saw the military tents in the camp and groups of armored soldiers. Even in the rain, they were neat and orderly.

"Miss Nalan, let's go."

A young man's voice came to my ears.

Chen Mo entered the camp first.

Nalan Yi kicked the horse's belly and followed closely behind.

In front of the central army tent.

When Xiao Jing, Wu Yanqing and others learned that Chen Mo had returned to the camp, they hurried out to greet him, saying, "Duke Anguo, how did you find out?"

"Not long after we went out, it started to rain heavily. Then General Yue and I took shelter in an abandoned post station. We didn't have time to investigate." Chen Mo turned over and got off the horse.

"Who is this?" Xia Zhining glanced at Nalan Yiren with a strange look in her eyes.

She also saw that the other person was a woman.

"Let's go in and talk." Chen Mo said.

In the big tent.

Xiao Jing and Wu Yanqing also noticed that Nalan Yiren was a girl, and since there was no military matter to discuss, they did not come in.

There were only four people in the military tent: Chen Mo, Yue Ruyan, Xia Zhining and Nalan Yiren.

"Poison King Valley, Saint?"

Xia Zhining's already strange look became even stranger.

You went out for a walk and brought back a woman?
"Miss, have we met before?" Without Chen Mo's invitation, Nalan Yiren took the initiative to find a seat and sat down, taking off the straw raincoat she was wearing.

"No." Xia Zhining didn't know why she said this.

"Does that girl have a grudge against the Poison King Valley?" Nalan Yiren asked again.

"No."

"Since we have never met and have no grudge against each other, why are you hostile to me?" Nalan Yiren stared at Xia Zhining with a sinister look.

Xia Zhining: "..."

"Cough cough."

Chen Mo coughed twice. Her old jealous habit came back again. She immediately changed the subject and said, "Miss Nalan, let's get down to business."

Having said that, he asked Xia Zhining to go and call Diwu Fusheng.

Seeing Chen Mo's quick work, Nalan Yiren's eyes softened a little, and she no longer worried about Xia Zhining's hostility. "Duke Anguo, you're looking for me?"

Soon, the fifth floating life arrived.

"Please take a seat, sir. I've called you here to ask you, when you were in the Huai King's tent, did the Huai King tell you about the Immortal Powder?" Chen Mo didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Immortal Powder?" Diwu Fusheng subconsciously glanced at Nalan Yiren. After all, she was the only stranger in the tent. He immediately said, "I told you that he gave the Immortal Powder to the spies below, who took it to Jiangnan and used it to murder you, the Duke of Anguo?"

"Then do you know where the Prince of Huai got the Immortal Powder?"

"The Western Regions?" Diwu Fusheng was a little confused. Didn't Chen Mo know about this?
The reason why Chen Mo asked knowingly was to make the matter more accurate. After it was confirmed to be from the Western Regions, Chen Mo asked again: "Then sir, do you know who the King of Huai asked to go to the Western Regions to buy it? Who is the seller?"

"I know. This matter was handled by the Liang family a few years ago. Originally, the Immortal Powder was planned to be sent to the palace through the Liang family to deal with Xu Guozhong." The Fifth Fusheng said.

At that time, Prince Huai still controlled Huaizhou and Jiangnan. Liang Mu went to Prince Huai first with the emperor's blood letter, and then Prince Huai raised his arm and called on troops to come to the king's defense.

At that time, many ways were thought of to deal with Xu Guozhong.

Poisoning is one of the methods.

Then Liang Mu said that he had connections in the Western Regions and knew someone.

It’s just that the Western Regions are too far away from the Song Dynasty.

Back and forth.

The battle to support the king here has ended.

Naturally, the Immortal Powder was not used and fell into the hands of Prince Huai.

"Duke Anguo, you can ask Duke Liang Mu about this matter. He knows it best." Diwu Fusheng quickly changed his words.

"Liang Mu."

Chen Mo nodded, and after a moment's silence, he said, "I understand, sir. You can go down first."

"promise."

Although Diwu Fusheng was very curious about why Chen Mo asked this, he had not yet fully integrated into this "group", so he suppressed his curiosity and did not ask, and stepped back.

"Who is Liang Mu?" Seeing that things were getting clearer, Nalan Yiren quickly asked, "Where is he?"

"The head of the Liang family is not in the barracks at the moment." Chen Mo did not bring Liang Mu with him.
Instead, he was taken back to Linzhou along with Madam Gan and her convoy and imprisoned.

"Where is it?" Nalan Yiren asked.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be detained in a cell in Linzhou now." Chen Mo said.

"Then take me to see him quickly." Nalan Yiren said.

"Not yet."

"why not?"

"I don't have time. I still have to fight."

Nalan Yiren frowned and said, "Then you make the arrangements, I'll go by myself."

"Neither."

"why?"

"I'm worried."

"Ok?"

"It just doesn't work."

Chen Mo hasn't completely believed her yet, so how could he let her go to Linzhou?

"Did you do this on purpose?" Nalan Yiren's eyes became cold again, staring at Chen Mo grimly.

I felt that Chen Mo did it on purpose and wanted to use this method to make me help him fight.

"Miss Nalan, you misunderstood." Chen Mo said, "I think it would be more sincere if we had someone escort him here. I will write a letter right away. Please wait for a while, Miss Nalan."

Nalan Yiren: "..."

The words have come to this point.

What could she do but agree.

"I hope Duke Anguo won't keep me waiting for too long." Nalan Yiren said.

"Don't worry, it won't take long."

As he spoke, Chen Mo stared at the other person's bloated black robe and said, "Now can you show me some pills that can delay aging and beautify your skin?"

Nalan Yiren glanced at Yue Ruyan and Xia Zhining, then slowly took off the brim of her hat.

Without the brim of the hat to cover it, her long, black hair fell over her shoulders.

Afterwards, she took off the black robe she was wearing.

Without the cover of the black robe.

She was dressed in a foreign military uniform with a tiger-skin skirt around her waist for decoration, and trousers underneath.

These pants are also very special, with many exposed pockets, and some porcelain bottles are placed in these pockets.

At this time, Chen Mo discovered that not only did she have a bamboo cage hanging around her waist and bottles and jars tied to her thighs and calves, but she also had two long bamboo cages on her arms, and you could vaguely see poisonous snakes living inside.

Nalan Yiren's figure was not bloated, but she looked a little bloated because she carried so many bamboo baskets and bottles and jars, and was wrapped in a black robe.

Her figure is not only not bloated, but from Chen Mo's perspective of traveling around the brothels, it is quite good, with the right amount of fat and thin.

Nalan Yiren took a small porcelain bottle from her thigh, threw it to Chen Mo, and said, "It's a good thing you brought it, but there's only one left."

After all, when going out, Nalan Yiren brought more self-defense items with her.

Chen Mo still used his innate spiritual energy to receive it. After being fully prepared, he carefully opened the cork and took out a pea-sized red pill from it.

"Are you sure this is a beauty pill? It's so bright red that it looks more like poison." Chen Mo pinched the pill and looked at it.

"This is all a misunderstanding of the world. People who use poison in the martial arts world usually try to achieve their goals by surprise and strike first, so the more inconspicuous the poison is, the better. This beauty pill is developed by me by extracting the essence of hundreds of flowers and combining it with a variety of precious medicinal materials. It is naturally bright in color." Nalan Yiren said.

"That's right." Although Chen Mo didn't get close to smell it, he could smell the fragrance of flowers with his five senses.

But he was not a doctor, so he couldn't examine it, and Wu Mi was not here.

Chen Mo could only believe it for the time being, and then said: "Just one? It's not enough."

"Didn't we agree on this at that time?" Nalan Yiren paused. At that time, she only said that she had this kind of pill, but didn't say how many pills she would give.

Anyway, she still had to wait here for some time, so she said, "You provide the materials, and I can help you refine it now. How much do you want?"

"Well, let's start with fifty." Chen Mo said.

Nalan Yiren looked at Chen Mo with surprise.

Chen Mo also knew that what he was asking for was indeed a bit too much. After thinking for a while, he said, "At worst, I can accompany you to the Western Regions, but I can only help you find people, not kill people."

"That's about right." Nalan Yiren nodded, and then said, "But the quantity you want is too large, so it will take a while, and some medicine shops may not have them, so you have to go out in the wild to look for them."

After all, some flowers only bloom in spring.

Pharmacies do not necessarily collect these flowers and dry them for later use.

Although other flowers can be used as substitutes, it is already November and winter is approaching.

It's okay for a small amount, but if it's fifty pills, it will take a long time.

"It's okay, I can wait." Chen Mo said.
