Xiong Er had previously arranged for people to guard the well. Now that Jixiang had come and confirmed that the well water was indeed poisonous, Li Dabian had his people take complete control of the well.

Soon, people who went to investigate came back one after another and reported that they had discovered problems with several more wells.

"The poisoning of the well water was done by the new emperor's men. The new emperor did this deliberately to cause panic and create an opportunity for him to escape." Jixiang said to the onlookers.

"Before this, he may have passed by here disguised as an ordinary person. If anyone saw him, please let us know so that we can find him as soon as possible and prevent him from hurting anyone further."

Everyone was talking about it.

Suddenly a woman asked, "What does the new emperor look like?"

Good luck to Li Da.

Li Da had seen Prince Duan before, and he immediately stepped forward to explain to everyone, "He is about the same height as me, but a little thinner than me. Of course, it is hard to say whether he gained weight after becoming the emperor. However, there is a more obvious feature on his face, which is the corner of his eye."

Li Da pointed to his left eye and said, "There is a black mole here, about the size of a mung bean."

The woman thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I saw such a man. About an hour ago, he went that way with eight or nine other people!"

The woman pointed in a direction.

Jixiang immediately glanced at Ambassador Li.

Li Da immediately took people to chase after him.

Jixiang took out a bottle of medicine and gave it to the woman. "Tell everyone, the water from this well must not be used. If anyone drinks the water and develops the symptoms that the couple just experienced, give them a pill from this bottle first."

The woman nodded and happily took it. "Okay, I'll stay here today and not go anywhere. If anyone is poisoned, I'll give them the medicine as you said."

Everyone is grateful.

Jixiang gave a few more instructions to the soldiers guarding the well and then left in a hurry.

Prince Duan was leaving in the direction of Lanjia Mountain, so she had to hurry over to prevent him and his companions from running into the three children.

However, Jixiang and others chased for more than ten miles but still failed to catch up with Prince Duan and others.

Jiang Peipei whistled, and Maodan fell from the sky and landed on Jiang Peipei's horse.

"Maodan, go find Prince Duan." She looked at Jixiang, "Cousin, do you have anything Prince Duan used?"

Ji Xiang shook his head.

"Without his things, the eggs are useless." Jiang Peipei regretted.

"Maybe they are not coming in this direction." Jixiang said to himself. Suddenly, as if he was sure of his guess, he turned his horse's head and galloped in another direction.

"Cousin, where are you going?"

"Go back to Prince Ning immediately and tell him that Prince Duan may have gone northwest!" Jixiang rode away at a gallop, leaving Jiang Peipei alone to ponder.

Jiang Peipei thought for a while, and seemed to confirm Jixiang's guess, so she turned around and went back to the city.

Jixiang rode her horse for about half an incense stick of time, and then she saw a dozen horses standing in two rows in front of her, blocking the road she was about to pass.

The leading man, wearing a dark blue robe and holding a sword, seemed to be waiting for her.

Jixiang reined in his horse and looked at the man.

There was indeed a black mole the size of a green bean at the corner of his left eye.

"Sixth Uncle?" Jixiang had never met Prince Duan before, and she had no chance to meet him when she went to Prince Duan's Mansion in Fengyu County to pick up Zaohua and the others.

The man sneered, "You are really smart."

It seems that my judgment was correct. The person in front of me is indeed Prince Duan. I looked at the dozen people beside him. They were all capable and indifferent. I guessed that they were his personal guards.

"Why is Sixth Uncle in such a hurry to leave the city? Prince Ning and I came into the city and went to the palace to pay a visit to you. I was very worried when I didn't see you in the palace."

Tian Qiquan snorted coldly, "You want to see me? I'm afraid you don't want to kill me, do you?"

"Of course not! The Sixth Uncle is the Emperor's brother and the Prince of Ning's uncle. We cannot be disrespectful to the Sixth Uncle. We entered the city only to bring the late Emperor back and bury him in a grand manner. We do not want to be enemies with the Sixth Uncle, let alone do anything to hurt him."

"Sixth Uncle is overthinking. Does he think we are here to seek justice for the Emperor?"

Tian Qiquan didn't believe what Jixiang said at all, and he didn't want to waste time talking to Jixiang. He winked at the guards next to him, and then five or six of the guards rode their horses towards Jixiang.

Jixiang thought to himself, "You bastard, you don't even want to talk anymore. Are you so eager to take my life?"

She complained in her heart, but did not dare to relax her hands. She immediately threw a few silver needles at the people who rushed over.

When the guards saw Jixiang wave his hand, they subconsciously tried to dodge, and the men and horses became a little messy in an instant.

Jixiang took advantage of their confused moment, rode his horse through the gap between them and rushed directly towards Prince Duan.

Tian Qiquan didn't expect Jixiang to rush up regardless of anything. He took out a medicine bottle from his chest and was about to open it, but his speed was not as fast as the whip in Jixiang's hand. Jixiang's whip swung out and hit the medicine bottle directly.

The bottle broke into pieces, and the powder inside flew out.

At this time, Jixiang had a veil on his face.

She even turned her horse around and stayed several feet away from Prince Duan and the others.

Tian Qiquan never thought that he originally intended to poison Jixiang, but he and his men accidentally inhaled a lot of poison powder. So he quickly took out a bottle from his chest, opened the bottle cap and poured out the antidote.

How could Jixiang give him the chance to take the antidote? He threw a flying knife at the medicine bottle in Tian Qiquan's hand.

The bottle fell to the ground and the pills inside spilled out.

Tian Qiquan was furious, "Princess Ning!" His eyes were bloodshot, he raised his sword in hand, and rode towards Jixiang.

Seeing this, the guards around Tian Qiquan also rushed towards Jixiang.

In an instant, more than a dozen long swords stabbed towards Jixiang.

Seeing the long sword approaching, Jixiang jumped up from the horse's back and landed behind Tian Qiquan and others.

Tian Qiquan didn't expect that he could break through the siege of more than a dozen people. He turned around to chase them, but his body staggered and he fell off his horse.

Soon, several guards who had been following him also began to feel unwell.

Jixiang stood far behind and laughed, "Forgot that you spilled your poison just now? Look, the antidote is still on the ground over there, but now you can see the bottle. The pills must have been trampled by your horses."

Tian Qiquan took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve with difficulty, brought it to his mouth and blew towards Jixiang.

Jixiang thought to himself that something was wrong and jumped back several feet away.

Sure enough, several poisonous needles shot out from the bamboo tube and fell in front of Jixiang.

"Prince Duan, you are really vicious. No wonder you were able to personally attack the late emperor. A vicious person like you probably only cares about yourself."

Jixiang said as he threw a few silver needles at Tian Qiquan, "Return your gift! You shot me with poison needles, so I have to return a few to you. But I don't think you can avoid it."

Jixiang was right. When Tian Qiquan saw that she was about to throw a hidden weapon, he tried to move his body to avoid it. However, his legs and feet were completely out of control. Even though his face turned red from holding his breath, he did not move at all.

Just when Jixiang thought that Tian Qiquan would be completely defeated by him, he suddenly grabbed a poisoned guard on the ground and used him to block himself, then stood up quickly like lightning and retreated several feet.

Jixiang was stunned.
