The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Ye Buhuo originally thought that Feng Shu was seriously injured and that was why he was so weak, but he did not expect that he was poisoned. He frowned and asked:

"Is there no antidote for that poison?"

Feng Yi sighed.

"Alas, Master Ye, you don't know that the poison was developed by the Northern Kingdom's royal family. It melts when it comes into contact with blood. It has no other special properties except that it devours life. It's very strange!"

Northern Royal Family!

Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke looked at each other calmly.

Hua Wu Ke said in some shock:

"Mr. Feng was poisoned by Beiguo?"

Feng Yi didn't know what the relationship was between the woman who suddenly spoke and Ye Buhuo, but it was not difficult to see the intimacy between the two of them from their actions, and both of them were wearing the same mask, so Feng Yi answered her.

"The Northern Kingdom sent people to Shuer to buy food some time ago, but Shuer knew that the Northern Kingdom was hoarding food mostly to attack the Night Kingdom. The Southern Kingdom and the Night Kingdom are adjacent to the Northern Kingdom. If the Northern Kingdom really conquers the Night Kingdom, it will definitely attack our Southern Kingdom in the future, so Shuer refused."

Feng Yi was originally quite calm, but when he said this, he became so angry that his voice became hoarse.

"The people from the Northern Country were cruel and merciless. Seeing that Shu'er refused to agree, they poisoned Shu'er before leaving!"

Feng Yi gasped with excitement at the end of his speech.

Ye Buhuo spoke at this time.

"Master Feng, I came to the South Country this time to buy food."

Feng Yi probably guessed that Ye Buhuo was cooperating with him in order to buy food, so he asked:

"I wonder how much Master Ye needs?"

"Two hundred thousand shi per month until the autumn harvest."

Ordinary people would not need so much food. Even an army of 10,000 would only consume 20,000 shi or 200,000 shi per month, which would be an army of 100,000!

Feng Yi was so startled that he stood up from his seat. He looked at the fangs on Ye Buhuo's mask and asked:

"You, why did you buy so much food?"

"The North Kingdom buys food to attack the Night Kingdom. I buy food to prevent the Night Kingdom from being conquered."

Feng Yi slowly sat back in his chair. He had heard that the emperor of the Ye Kingdom was afraid of the Hua family army and the Xuantie army stationed at the border, and the military rations allocated to them were very small.

It seems that this person is either from the Xuantie Army or the Hua Family Army. Hearing that General Hua Rongyu has a daughter, Feng Yi glanced at Hua Wuke unnoticeably.

Although trade in the South is free and grain can be bought and sold, such a large amount of grain requires the approval of the imperial court.

The Southern Kingdom's royal family has always been unwilling to get involved in the disputes between the Night Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom, so it is not easy to get the court to agree to this deal.

Thinking of Feng Shu, Feng Yi gritted his teeth. He would have to use the connections of another branch of the Feng family...

"Two hundred thousand shi per month, fine, as long as Master Ye can bring back the Yiqi grass to save my son!"

Feng Shu's body couldn't wait, so after getting the promise made by Feng Yi, Ye Buhuo took Hua Wuke and left Feng Mansion.

The four of them returned to the inn, and soon someone knocked on the door.

After listening to what the man said, Ye Yi closed the door and turned around to report to Ye Buhuo.

"Your Majesty, I have received news that there may be beneficial herbs in Kamikaze Gorge."

On the second day, just in case, Ye Buhuo sent Ye Yi and Qing Zhu to continue collecting information about Yiqi grass among the various branches, and then took Hua Wu Ke to Shenfeng Gorge.

The climate in the south is already humid, and the Kamikaze Gorge is even more humid.

Hua Wu Ke had just entered the canyon and soon his eyelashes were covered with small water droplets.

The flowers, plants and trees in Kamikaze Gorge grow lushly, and the sun can only occasionally shine through the gaps between the leaves.

The miasma in the dense forest was very heavy. Ye Buhuo fed an anti-poison pill into Hua Wuke's mouth and also put one in his own mouth.

Holding Hua Wu Ke behind him, Ye Buhuo sprinkled some medicinal powder under his feet from time to time to repel insects.

Ye Buhuo checked the medical books and found that Yiqi grass likes to grow on cliffs facing the wind.

The two of them kept walking towards the heights of Kamikaze Gorge.

After walking in the dense forest for a while, as we got closer to the mountain, the trees became less tall and there were fewer plants of various kinds.

The sun finally shined brightly, making it easier for the two to explore the way.

Walking out of the dense forest, there is a stream in front.

Ye Buhuo sprinkled the powder around a large rock and asked Hua Wu Ke to sit on it.

"Sui Sui sits here and waits for me."

After saying that, Ye Buhuo went to a cluster of bamboos and cut several bamboos with his sword. He stood by the stream and watched for a while. Then Ye Buhuo suddenly threw the bamboos into the swimming fish.

Hua Wu Ke swung the whip at the right time, wrapped the bamboo and brought the fish out of the stream.

The two of them cooperated well and caught three fish in a short while.

Taking out the dagger, Ye Buhuo naturally gutted the fish and cleaned it.

While Ye Buhuo was cleaning the fish, Hua Wuke had already lit a fire with a fire starter.

Put the fish on the fire, and soon, a sweet fish aroma will waft around.

Hua Wu Ke had just picked some edible fruits in the dense forest, including a sour fruit.

Cut the sour fruit in half with a dagger, squeeze out some of the sour juice and pour it on the grilled fish. The already sweet fish will suddenly have a fruity aroma.

Taking the bamboo stick with the fish in his hand, Ye Buhuo blew it carefully, and then handed it to Hua Wuke.

Hua Wu Ke took it and tasted it, then he opened his almond eyes wide and said:

“Delicious, the fish is so tender!”

Ye Buhuo touched the corner of Hua Wuke's mouth which was stained with juice. Seeing her so happily eating the fish he grilled, Ye Buhuo felt very satisfied.

After filling their stomachs, the two continued on their journey.

Because there were fewer and fewer plants, by the time the two reached halfway up the mountain, many places were no longer covered with grass, only bare rocks.

The rocks are exposed to wind and sun all year round and are somewhat smooth, making them not very easy to walk on.

Fortunately, Hua Wu Ke's martial arts skills have improved a lot now, and with Ye Buhuo holding her hand in front, she didn't feel it was too strenuous.

After climbing for an afternoon, the two reached the top of Kamikaze Gorge.

There is no road ahead, only a cliff.

Ye Buhuo stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. It was bottomless and he could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.

It looks like there's a big river below.

Hua Wu Ke also stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The cliff looked almost like it was cut by a knife. It was not only steep but also very smooth.

There are not many plants on the stone wall, only a few weeds.

It seemed that there was no Yiqi grass to be found in the Kamikaze Gorge. Hua Wu Ke was very disappointed. When she was about to look away, she suddenly discovered that one of the weeds looked particularly different.

The grass was in the middle, and the other weeds seemed to grow around it. Except for the area around the grass, there was no grass growing anywhere else.

Looking at the leaves that were obviously much greener than ordinary grass, Hua Wu Ke pulled Ye Buhuo's sleeve.

"Could that be the Qi-boosting grass?"

Ye Buhuo looked in the direction Hua Wuke pointed.

It has four long leaves, dark green in color, and looks like an orchid.

Ye Buhuo nodded: "It is exactly this thing."
