Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Nalan Yiren did not comment on Chen Mo's words.

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

The rain had not stopped yet, and a large number of horse hooves sounded outside the post station.

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

"It's the horse of the Marquis and General Yue, they are inside."

"..."

Then, the voice of the conversation stood 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 looking for us."

As he said, he looked at Nalan Yiren and said: "Girl, don't be nervous, he is my man."

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

"My Lord, General Yue, I saw that you didn't wear an umbrella or a raincoat, and I was worried that you would get wet, so I brought someone with me... who was that person?"

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

The personal soldiers outside the house heard the noise and quickly surrounded the post station. Some armored soldiers held a crossbow and aimed at Nalan Yiren from the window.

The whole process took 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's reaction speed was amazing. The moment Sun Meng and the others drew their swords.

Nalan Yiren's black robe fluttered without wind.

I saw that around Nalan Yiren's waist, thighs, and calves, there were small bamboo cages and various bottles and jars hanging or tied, and poisonous snakes, scorpions, and centipedes quickly crawled out of those bamboo cages.

Sun Meng and the others saw this scene and instinctively stepped back half a step, and then took a step forward.

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

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

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

Nalan Yiren frowned, and then used her unique smoky voice to say coldly: "The subordinates of the Duke of Anguo are really well-trained."

She could see that if she were replaced by anyone below the middle-level warrior, she would be shot into a hedgehog in an instant as long as Chen Mo gave an order.

She raised her hand, put two slender fingers to her lips, and blew gently. The poisonous insects that heard the whistle went 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 in a strange way.

However, Chen Mo naturally noticed this sneak glance and glared back.

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

Chen Mo looked 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. She had not taken off the raincoat on her body.

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

"Whee."

A reddish-brown horse galloped from the abandoned stable of the post station, and the soldiers of the Chen army 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 spiritual horse."

"The Snow Dragon Horse in the stable is yours, right? This horse is spiritual. Mine is just an ordinary wild horse, which is nothing more than being trained well." As she said that, Nalan Yiren tiptoed, jumped up, and landed on the horse's back.

If her figure was not too bloated at the moment, this scene would be very beautiful.

This reddish-brown horse had no reins or saddles, but after Nalan Yiren landed on its back, she sat steadily.

"Let's go."

After the soldiers led the horse, Chen Mo climbed on the horse.

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

The group headed towards the barracks.

The official road was flat. Walking along the official road, a group of people came to a huge camp in a short while.

In Nalan Yiren's eyes, this camp, whether looking from the left or the right, was endless. There were soldiers patrolling inside and outside the camp.

There were also chevaux de frise in front of the camp.

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

"Duke Anguo has returned to the camp, open the door!"

"Open the door!"

The chevaux de frise was moved away.

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 Yiren squeezed the horse's belly and followed closely.

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?"

"It started to rain a lot not long after we went out, and 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 party was a woman.

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

In the big tent.

Xiao Jing and Wu Yanqing also saw that Nalan Yiren was a girl. Seeing that there was no military consultation, 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 eyes became even stranger.

You just went out for a walk, and you brought back a woman?

"This girl, 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 on her body.

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

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

"No."

"Since you have never met and have no grudge, why is the girl hostile to me?" Nalan Yiren stared at Xia Zhining with her sinister eyes.

Xia Zhining: "..."

"Ahem."

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."

Then, she asked Xia Zhining to call the Fifth Fusheng.

Seeing Chen Mo's quick work, Nalan Yiren's eyes softened a little, and she didn't dwell on Xia Zhining's hostility.

"Duke Anguo, you are looking for me?"

Soon, the Fifth Fusheng came.

"Sir, please sit down. I want to ask you, when you were in the account of the King of Huai, did the King of Huai tell you about the Immortal Powder?" Chen Mo didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

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

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

"The Western Region?" Diwu Fusheng was a little confused. Didn't Chen Mo know about this?

The reason why Chen Mo asked knowingly was to make this matter more accurate. After it was indeed from the Western Region, Chen Mo asked again, "Then sir, do you know who the King of Huai asked to buy it in the Western Region? Who is the seller?"

"I know. This matter was handled by the Liang family, and it happened a few years ago. Originally, this Immortal Powder was intended to be sent to the palace through the Liang family to deal with Xu Guozhong." Diwu Fusheng said.

At that time, the King of Huai still owned Huaizhou and Jiangnan. Liang Mu took the emperor's blood letter and first found the King of Huai. Then the King of Huai raised his arms and called for troops to defend the king.

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.

But the Western Regions were too far away from the Song Dynasty.

Back and forth.

The war to support the king here was over.

And the Immortal Powder was naturally not used and fell into the hands of King Huai.

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

"Liang Mu."

Chen Mo nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I know, sir, you go down first."

"Yes."

Although the Fifth Fusheng was very curious about why Chen Mo asked this, he had not yet fully integrated into this "collective", so he resisted his curiosity and did not ask, and retreated.

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

"The head of the Liang family. He is not in the barracks at the moment." Chen Mo did not take Liang Mu with him,

but took him back to Linzhou with Madam Gan's convoy to be detained.

"Where is it?" Nalan Yiren said.

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

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

"Not now."

"Why not?"

"No time, I still have to fight."

Nalan Yiren frowned and said, "Then you arrange it, I will go by myself."

"No."

"Why?"

"I am worried."

"Well?"

"Anyway, it is not possible."

Chen Mo has not completely believed her yet, how could he let her go to Linzhou.

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

She felt that Chen Mo did it on purpose, and wanted to use this method to let her help him fight.

"Miss Nalan misunderstood." Chen Mo said, "I think it would be more sincere to have someone escort him here. I will write a letter and ask Miss Nalan to wait for a while."

Nalan Yiren: "..."

The words have come to this point.

What could she do but agree?

"I hope the Duke of 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's bloated black robe and said, "Can you show me the elixir that can delay aging and beautify the 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 covering her, her long black hair was scattered on her shoulders.

After that, she took off the black robe she was wearing.

Without the black robe covering her.

She was dressed in a foreign military uniform, with a tiger skin skirt around her waist for decoration, and pants on her lower body.

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

At this time, Chen Mo discovered that she not only had a bamboo cage hanging around her waist, but also bottles and jars tied to her thighs and calves. 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 brought so many bamboo cages and bottles and jars, and was wrapped in a black robe.

Not only was her figure not bloated, but from Chen Mo's perspective of traveling through the flower garden, it was very good, with a moderate fat and thinness.

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

After all, when she went out, Nalan Yiren brought more self-defense items.

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

"Are you sure this is a beauty pill? This bright red one 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 win by surprise and strike first, so the more inconspicuous the poison is, the better. This beauty pill is made by me extracting the essence of hundreds of flowers and blending a variety of precious medicinal materials. It is naturally bright." Nalan Yiren said.

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

But he is not a doctor, so he can't test it, and Wu Mi is not here.

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

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

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

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

Nalan Yiren looked at Chen Mo with surprise.

Chen Mo also knew that it was indeed a bit too much. After thinking about it, he said: "At worst, I will accompany you to the Western Regions, but I will only help you find people, not kill people."

"That's about right." Nalan Yiren nodded, and then said: "But the amount you want is too large, it will take a longer time, and some medicinal materials may not be available in the medicine shop, so you have to go to the wild to find them."

After all, some flowers only bloom in spring.

The medicine shop may not collect these flowers and dry them for use.

Although other flowers can be used as substitutes, it is November now, and winter is coming soon.

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

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