The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Before nightfall, the army arrived at Qingjiang County. General Long Wei ordered the troops to set up camp and rest for one night before launching a general attack the next day.

Without Bai Yimeng's company, Prince Yi had a sleepless night.

When I woke up early in the morning, I felt dizzy and just as I arrived at the central military tent, my eyes went dark and I fainted on the ground.

Bai Yinan saw it from a distance, ran forward, and took a quick look. He saw Yuwen Ji, his mouth and nose were full of black blood.

Bai Yinan's heart sank as he began to check Prince Yi's pulse. The more he checked, the more uncertain he became. This pulse was frighteningly chaotic. When he ripped open his clothes, he saw a black bulge on his chest.

General Long Wei heard the noise and walked out of the tent to check. He was also frightened by the scene in front of him, "General Bai, what happened to the prince?"

"He's probably been poisoned by a Gu. As for what kind of Gu it is, it's hard to say. I'll give him acupuncture now to stabilize his heart pulse." Bai Yinan was not well versed in medical skills and only knew some basic acupuncture.

In the evening, Yuwen Ji vomited blood twice again, and his face had turned a pale color of death.

"I'm afraid it's too late to ask my master to come. Marshal, you might as well ask my sister to come. Although that girl may seem naughty, her medical skills are really good." This was the third time Bai Yinan had given acupuncture to Yuwen Ji, but it had no effect at all. It was obvious that he could not solve Yuwen Ji's condition.

"I'll go!" Su Beichen ran to Xichuan without saying anything.

An hour later, he returned exhausted, "Xiaobai knocked Yi Tong and Wang Xun unconscious. Now, he is nowhere to be found.

"Nonsense, it's already this time and you're still playing around." Bai Yinan was so angry that he cursed.

……

Barbarian Territory, Jiujiazhai

As soon as he entered the village, Bai Yimeng was surrounded by a dozen guards holding wooden pitchforks. Although they looked rustic, they were all experts in using poison.

Bai Yimeng was unarmed, so it was inevitable that he would suffer some losses.

One of them saw her weakness and stabbed at her with a wooden fork. This move seemed clumsy, but it won in speed. If Bai Yimeng hadn't been good at Qinggong, she would have been turned into barbecued pork.

Bai Yimeng dodged this quickly, and then another man with a wooden stick came from behind and hit him. This man looked thick and clumsy, but in fact he was light and agile, as if he was lifting heavy objects with ease.

Bai Yimeng dodged the wooden stick by leaning sideways. A man on the left side came with a sweeping kick, and Bai Yimeng almost failed to dodge it.

These people seem to have no rules and do not seem to have deep skills, but when they are put together they have great tacit understanding and coordination.

He dodged left and right, and finally snatched a wooden fork from someone's hand with great effort. But before he could rejoice, he stepped on the mechanism.

In a moment, hundreds of arrows came at him like a black cloud. Bai Yimeng waved his palm, knocking down row after row of arrows, and finally broke all of them.

Before she could recover, more than a dozen iron forks flew from behind and stabbed at her back.

Bai Yimeng smelled a fishy odor and guessed that it was poisonous. Perhaps it was snake venom or some other highly toxic substance.

After the steel fork, there was flying sand and rolling stones, and then Stonehenge.

This ordeal made Bai Yimeng realize why Jiujia Village could survive in a corner of the barbarian territory.

After a series of ordeals, Bai Yimeng soon became exhausted.

Just when Bai Yimeng thought he could take a breath, a voice came from the sky, "You came so soon, it seems that Prince Yi is still very important to you. You injured the three young masters of Songgu Tower, did you ever think that this day would come?"

"Who are you? Why don't you show yourself?" Bai Yimeng looked around and didn't notice anyone nearby. It was obvious that the voice came from a hundred meters away. This person was talking to her using a long-distance voice transmission.

"The owner of Songgu Tower is my sworn brother. If you kill his son and leave him without an heir, my family will kill your beloved and make you live a life worse than death."

The other party did not rush to answer Bai Yimeng's question, but continued to speak his own words, as if he had rehearsed it in advance.

Bai Yimeng was startled when she heard this. She should have expected that the other party would be so foolish as to attack her. Thinking of the man who mentioned Yuwen Ji at the beginning, she couldn't help but feel a little more worried. Somehow, she had the strength.

He picked up a sword, looked for the source of the sound, and stabbed forward.

Most people who use poison are not good at martial arts. However, the leader of Jiujia Village is an exception.

"Oh, interesting. Bai Xiaoqi from Wan'an Valley is indeed extraordinary!" A man who looked like a father-in-law, pinching his orchid finger, was fifty meters away from Bai Yimeng, and smiled and flicked at her in the air. Suddenly, a stream of blood spurted out from Bai Yimeng's left shoulder.

If Bai Yimeng's internal strength was not strong, she would have fallen from the treetop. Soon, she realized that this person was a master of internal martial arts.

After treating the wound briefly, he formed seals with his hands and released the blocked internal energy. In an instant, Bai Yimeng turned into a flash of lightning and passed by the man.

The man laughed loudly, his inner strength shaking the forest, making a whistling sound. Several thin tree trunks were directly broken. Bai Yimeng spat out a mouthful of blood, took a few steps back, and barely stood firm.

"Not bad. It's rare for you to have such skills at your age. If you're willing to give in, we can talk about anything."

Bai Yimeng laughed, "Give in? Sorry, the Bai family won't do that."

Bai Yimeng suddenly shot out more than a dozen silver needles. The man waved his hand, and the silver needles returned to their original path and shot directly into Bai Yimeng's body.

"You are also an expert in using poisons. Can you guess what poison you have been poisoned by?" Fortunately, Bai Yimeng's silver needle was non-toxic. It would only hurt a little when it entered the body, but it was not serious.

The man examined Bai Yimeng's expression. Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he quickly checked his pulse. At this moment, Bai Yimeng took advantage of her unpreparedness and threw out a silver needle. It hit the man's forehead. "Your martial arts skills are good, but your IQ is not good. You were not poisoned at first, but you are now."

The leader of Jiujia Village, Shi Suming, soon became a statue.

Bai Yimeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, walked up to the man, tied him up, and hid him deep in the bushes.

Spending more effort can also help prevent this guy from causing trouble for you later.

He disguised himself as Shi Suming, pinched his fingers together and left the bushes.

Not long after walking, she met a little Taoist boy, who, under her persuasion, took her into the alchemy room.

"Master, the batch of medicine in the furnace is ready, would you like to come and check it out?"

Bai Yimeng nodded slightly, imitating Shi Suming's voice and tone, "Lead the way."

"Master, are you going to hand over this batch of medicine to King Qi?" The boy stood aside obediently with his hands hanging down.

Bai Yimeng pretended to examine the pill and realized that it was the Soul Devouring Gu. "How many batches have we given?"

"Master, this is the fifth batch."

Bai Yimeng nodded slightly, "Is that so? Then I won't give him anything this time. Feeding him too much is not good for us. The King of Qi is a dog that can never be tamed. Let's keep him hanging for now and talk about it later."

"That's what the master said."

The boy turned around and was about to leave, but Bai Yimeng stopped him, "Disciple, let me test you. Do you still remember how to make the antidote for this soul-devouring insect?"

The little boy was stunned for a while before answering, "Master, didn't you say that Soul Crushing Pill and Soul Devouring Gu don't need antidotes?"

Bai Yimeng was a little confused, but his expression didn't change at all. He twirled his beard and nodded slightly, "Not bad, then go on, why don't you need an antidote?"

"Yes. You said before that the Soul Devouring Gu and the Soul Crushing Pill are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Taking either alone is a deadly poison with no antidote. But the two can regulate each other, and if they are properly regulated, they are the antidote. If they are not properly regulated, you will die. You also said that the scale of this mixing is very difficult to grasp, and if you are not careful, you will fall into an abyss."
