Chapter 178 That's Going Too Far

After the two smeared themselves, they pushed the cart to the city gate hurriedly.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, the guard leader asked Ye and Mo with a look of confusion, "Why do you look so unfamiliar?"

"Well, commander, we are newly arrived." Mo quickly replied at this moment.

They had been lurking in the Xiling Palace for many days, so they naturally knew that the man in front of them was the guard commander, Yan Ze.

Yan Ze looked up and down at the two of them and then asked, "Newly arrived, then why did you stop there just now?"

"Well, we overate for dinner and suddenly suffered from diarrhea just now, so we went to the side to solve it," Feng said at this moment.

After hearing that, Yan Ze said coldly, "How dare you. You deserve it!"

"Yes, the commander is right. We deserve it." Feng said with his head down quickly.

Yan Ze continued, "Huh, hurry up and serve our brothers food."

"Yes, commander." Ye and Mo responded and started to act.

Ye was responsible for serving the food, and Mo was responsible for delivering the food to the soldiers.

While they were not paying attention, Mo quietly opened the bottle that the king of witchcraft gave him and released the Sleeping Worms inside.

Without half an hour, these people began to yawn. And after a while, they all fell asleep.

Seeing that things were done, Mo and Ye waved to the distance and hinted to the king of witchcraft and Shuo Ling.

The king of witchcraft and Shuo Ling had been observing the situation of the city gate. After seeing the hint, they also headed to the city gate.

In this way, they took advantage of the darkness and smoothly passed the city gate.

In the middle of the night, Zhan You came over to change shifts with Yan Ze. He found that the city gate was open, and the people guarding the city gate, including Yan Ze, were lying on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Zhan You hurriedly looked forward and realized that the reason these people lay down was that they had been poisoned by the Sleeping Worms.

Thinking of this, Zhan You couldn't help clenching his fists and yelled, "Hou Shi, that's going too far!"

Zhan You ran to the local government and asked him to first bring back the people at the city gate. And then, he asked them to send some people to guard the city gate.

After giving orders, Zhan You rushed back to the palace overnight. When he arrived at Xiling Palace, the sky was already slightly light.

It was the morning report time. Zhan You broke into directly despite the obstruction of the guard at the door.

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty." Zhan You shouted as he walked.

Seeing this, hundreds of officials couldn't help but frown. Zhan You was too bold, and he even dared to go straight to the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

They were preparing to wait and see, but Lan Kuo said at this time, "Today's morning report will be stopped first. All of you go back first."

"Your Majesty, this..." After hearing this, the officials looked at each other and were puzzled. What happened to the Emperor?

However, looking at Lan Kuo's face at this time, they didn't dare to ask and walked out first.

After these officials were gone, Zhan You quickly said, "Your Majesty, the people who guarded the city gate last night were caught with a kind of worm, called Sleeping Worms, which made them all fall asleep. The city gate was opened when I arrived. Hou Shi must have escaped."

"What? They escaped. What a good-for-nothing you are!" Lan Kuo couldn't help being furious after hearing this.

Then he shouted to the outside of the hall, "Come here, come!"

Yan Hao, the deputy commander guarding the door, heard Lan Kuo yelling and hurried in, "Your Majesty."

"Send someone to the Witchcraft Mountain and knock out the Witchcraft City. Even if you dig three feet of the ground, you have to find what I want." Lan Kuo roared at this time, and his anger was even more intense!

Hearing this, Zhan You quickly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's absolutely not a good way!"

"Not a good way? Do you want to protect your brother and the Witchcraft City where you've lived?" Lan Kuo said with red eyes at this moment, watching Zhan You and gritting his teeth.

At this moment, Zhan You was kneeling on the ground quickly, "Your Majesty, since I left the Witchcraft City, I have been completely cut off from the past. How would I protect Hou Shi and the Witchcraft City?"

At this time, Lan Kuo stared at Zhan You. He still didn't calm down, "Then why not?"

"In Witchcraft City, everyone knows witchcraft. If we act rashly like this, I'm afraid that they will use witchcraft against us, and it will be very detrimental to us." Zhan You explained to Lan Kuo.

Lan Kuo sneered, "I have the power to ruin the Witchcraft City!"

"Even if we win at that time, the king of witchcraft still has the seduce of the nightmare. If he is forced to be desperate, he'll kill the seduce of the nightmare. And then the people on our side caught by the seduce of the nightmare will get out of control. And the palace will be restless at that time." Zhan You said to Lan Kuo again.

Seeing that Lan Kuo didn't say anything, Zhan You continued, "Moreover, the Witchcraft City is on the boundary of Dongling. If this is done and it reaches the ears of Dongling Emperor, how can he leave the matter at that?"

"All methods are not okay, and then what do you want to do?" Lan Kuo couldn't help feeling upset when he heard it and roared.

At this time, Zhan You said again, "Your Majesty, I think we should send someone to sneak into the Witchcraft City first. After investigating the matter and figuring out the situation, and then we make plans."

"Let's do as you said." After Lan Kuo heard it, he felt that Zhan You's words were reasonable, and then calmed down, squeezing his forehead with his hand.

So he sent Yan Hao to the Witchcraft Mountain to figure out the situation.

When Yan Hao was leaving, Zhan You took out a card from his body and handed it to Yan Hao.

If he wanted to enter the Witchcraft City, it would be difficult to sneak in without the card.

Yan Hao took the card and walked towards the direction of the Witchcraft Mountain.

...

At this time, Uncle Liu was traveling in State Sui. He saw notices posted on the streets, which acquired the awakening herb at a high price.

The awakening herb was a kind of antidotal herb.

After seeing it, Uncle Liu couldn't help frowning slightly. It seemed that someone had been poisoned by Sleeping Beauty. However, this awakening herb was scarce a few years ago. This person probably had to die.

Then Uncle Liu continued to read it. It turned out to be Jiandu, which was not far from State Sui.

He heard that there was a plague after the flood in Jiandu, so he rushed here day and night.

Someone said that people had been cured, so he headed to State Sui.

Unexpectedly, after seeing such a notice, it aroused his curiosity, so he decided to go to Jiandu to see who was poisoned with Sleeping Beauty.

Then, he walked in the direction of Jiandu.

As soon as he left State Sui, Uncle Liu saw a man driving a carriage with goods, so he ran forward.

He asked the man where he was going. When he heard that he was going to Jiandu, Uncle Liu took a ride.

The person who carried the goods was Xu Qing. He went to buy the materials for the dam repairing. Due to insufficient manpower, Xiao Mu asked Xu Qing to buy some things in State Sui.

On the road, Uncle Liu learned that the car was loaded with what was needed to repair the dam. And Xu Qing also knew that Uncle Liu was a doctor.

At this time, Xu Qing couldn't help thinking whether Dean Shen had found the awakening herb.

He also saw the notices posted everywhere. Dean Shen already knew what poison the infanta had.

Later, he also inquired about this herb called awakening herb from the drugstore, only to realize that this awakening herb was scarce a few years ago. The chance of finding it was rare.

So, he couldn't help but sigh.

State Sui was not far from Jiandu. Soon, they arrived at the city gate of Jiandu.

When they arrived in Jiandu, Uncle Liu asked Xu Qing where the address was written on the notice. After Xu Qing heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Could there be the awakening herb on the old man before him?

Thinking about this, Xu Qing then smiled and said to Uncle Liu, " Gentlemen, did you come after seeing the notice?"

"Exactly." Uncle Liu nodded.

When Xu Qing heard this, he couldn't help but become happy. It seemed that the infanta could be saved, so he handed the carriage to the soldiers at the city gate and asked them to deliver the things to the dam first.

Then he smiled and said to Uncle Liu, "I know this place. I will take you there."

Uncle Liu saw that Xu Qing had become so different after hearing him talk about this place. Could it be that this poisoned person had a relationship with this man?

It wouldn't matter if the man could bring him there.

At this time, Mo Li was waiting in the courtyard anxiously. From the news sent out yesterday, there had been no response until now.

Now, Yang Zijin had a high fever.

At this moment, Mo Li heard some sounds at the door, and then he looked over.

He saw Xu Qing run over. He panted and laughed, "Master Mo, the... the infanta could be saved. The infanta could be saved."

"What?" Mo Li thought he had heard it wrong. And he hurried to Xu Qing and asked again.

Xu Qing said, "I came back from State Sui in the morning. And an old man also came to State Sui, so I came back with him. When we arrived in Jiandu, the old man asked me how to get here. So I asked if he saw the notice, and he said yes."

"Really? Where is that man?" After hearing this, Mo Li quickly asked.

At this time, Xu Qing took a deep breath and pointed to the back, "Behind... Behind me."

Xu Qing pointed to the door. At this moment, Mo Li looked behind Xu Qing, and he saw someone coming in from the door, who was complaining as he walked, "Why are you walking so fast? I'm exhausted."

Seeing this person, Mo Li couldn't help but feel astonished. He felt that this person was a bit familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly remembered that it was Uncle Liu. He had met him in the Blossoming Peach before. He had a good relationship with Yang Zijin.

What a coincidence! Mo Li hurried forward and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, do you really have the awakening herb?"

"I don't have the awakening herb." Uncle Liu said while shaking his head.

When Xu Qing, on the side, heard this, he couldn't help walking to Uncle Liu, "Gentlemen, what did you say? Didn't you say that you came here after seeing the notice?"

"Yes, I came here after seeing the notice, but I didn't say that I have the awakening herb." Uncle Liu looked at Xu Qing and said.

Xu Qing felt like he had fallen from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, "Gentlemen, how can you be like this?"

"Well, why would you call me Uncle Liu? Do you know me?" At this time, Uncle Liu ignored Xu Qing but looked at Mo Li and asked.

Mo Li nodded to Uncle Liu, "Yes, I met you in the Blossoming Peach before."

"Met me in the Blossoming Peach?" After hearing this, Uncle Liu couldn't help frowning slightly. He had a bad feeling.

Then he asked, "Who is the poisoned person in that house?"

"It's the infanta." Mo Li said at this time.
