A Strange Person
Jiang Yimian and her Caravan traveled all night, finally arriving at an open space at dawn.
The nearest City still required a day’s journey. They had already been traveling day and night for the past few days, and with last night’s fighting, many were exhausted.
It would not be good if They couldn’t get any rest.
Seeing that Zhao Cheng and the others shouldn’t be able to catch up for the time being, Jiang Yimian allowed everyone to stop and rest on the spot.
Last night’s fighting had injured many. Now that They heard They could rest, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to re-bandage their Wounds.
Fortunately, everyone was used to this kind of fighting and killing, and was accustomed to bandaging Injuries, so it didn’t take much effort.
Wang San saw that everyone had bandaged their Wounds, changed out of their black Clothes, and put on ordinary Clothes. He confirmed that only Two People had relatively serious Injuries and were resting in the Carriage, while the others only had minor Injuries, and then he was relieved.
Seeing Jiang Yimian and Liuer getting out of the Carriage with the Medical Kit, he quickly stepped forward respectfully and said, “Jiang Girl, except for the two seriously injured, the others have minor Injuries and have already been bandaged.”
Jiang Yimian nodded, saw that Wang San’s Wound on his arm was also bandaged, and then said, “We’ll rest here for the morning and head to Jiang City in the afternoon to meet up with others.”
Wang San was stunned and asked strangely, “Is Jiang Girl waiting for Young Master and them? Young Master left two days behind us, and besides…”
His Line of Sight fell on the more than ten Carriages neatly parked not far away.
These Supplies are not suitable for those people from the Censorate and the Ministry of Works to know about now.
Those people are all shrewd and numerous, and it’s unclear who’s friend or foe. Rashly taking Supplies to meet up with them would probably arouse suspicion.
It would be bad if Rumors spread then.
Jiang Yimian only smiled and said, “I’m not waiting for them, I’m waiting for other people.”
She naturally understood this Reason, but They now had to have an Identity that could openly enter Qingnan.
If only They went to Qingnan, not to mention whether those Supplies would arouse suspicion.
Even They, with their various Identities, would probably be detained.
Wang San was relieved, although he still had Doubt in his heart, he didn’t ask any more questions.
On this trip, They only needed to listen to Jiang Girl’s instructions; the rest was not his concern.
Thinking this, he nodded to Liuer and got into the Carriage.
Because They were in a hurry, the Food They brought was mostly dry food. The cooked Food They had initially brought inevitably spoiled on the way, and was eaten by everyone early on. Now, all that was left were some dry food, Pastry and the like.
Jiang Yimian handed Liuer a packet of shortbread, but saw that she was still lost in thought, somewhat absent-minded.
Jiang Yimian asked strangely, “What’s wrong? You’ve been acting strangely since last night. What are you thinking about?”
Ever since last night when she snatched the Supplies from Zhao Cheng, this person hadn’t said much. Whenever she was free, she would be thinking about something, as if she had encountered some Problem.
Liuer was stunned, shook her head, took the shortbread, but hesitated to speak.
She felt that That Person Zhao Cheng was a little strange.
Jiang Yimian was Curious and asked, “What kind of Poison did you throw at Zhao Cheng last night?”
That Person was Vigilant and agile. The Toxin in her Bow and Arrow was quickly discovered by him, and he didn’t inhale any of it, which really surprised her.
During her fight with him in the Carriage, she also sprinkled Poison on him, but Zhao Cheng also quickly noticed and was not affected in the slightest.
If This Person didn’t also understand Poison, he had an extremely strong ability to foresee danger, and could quickly judge her next move, holding his breath in advance to avoid inhaling any toxic fumes.
But the second dose of Poison she threw would quickly take effect as soon as it touched the skin. At that time, the Two People were very close, even if his speed was fast, he would definitely touch some of it. She didn’t believe that he didn’t touch it at all.
But Zhao Cheng was not affected in the slightest.
She was beginning to suspect that he, like her, had taken the Antidote beforehand. It was really strange.
But in the end, the Poison that Liuer used made him fall for it.
The moment he inhaled the Poison, he froze in place, allowing her to find an opening and injure him.
It couldn’t be that her Poison was too useless and had no effect on This Person, and only Liuer’s Poison was effective, right?
That was obviously impossible.
Although she was not as skilled in researching Poison as Liuer, she didn’t think she was bad. Wang San and the others had also tried it beforehand, and it was clearly effective.
But the Problem just happened with This Person.
Liuer thought for a while before saying, “That Poison is the Ghost-Repelling I developed before.
That Poison will cause the skin to itch the moment it comes into contact with it, as if tens of thousands of ants are biting. As long as the Poisoning person scratches the Wound with their fingernails, the itching of the skin will intensify, and then slowly fester until death.
If the other party can refrain from scratching, the Toxin will be resolved in just one hour.”
Jiang Yimian was stunned, and recalled the miserable state of those Poisoning people she had glimpsed from afar before leaving. They were all bloody, and it was clear that it was impossible to resist the itching.
Silently marveling in her heart, this Poison was truly vicious.
She recalled the moment Zhao Cheng came into contact with the Ghost-Repelling. It didn’t seem like he felt itchy. He just froze in place, his expression one of surprise and disbelief.
But at that time, the Situation was urgent, and it was not easy for her to seize the opportunity, so she didn’t carefully observe him and directly took action. She didn’t know if the other party was Poisoning or not.
After thinking for a while, she asked, “Do you think Zhao Cheng was Poisoning by your Poison?”
Liuer shook her head, and a bit of confusion rarely appeared on her face. “I don’t know. The Situation was urgent at that time and I didn’t pay attention. I just felt a familiar feeling from That Person.”
The familiarity made her whole body tremble, but she didn’t know where that familiarity came from.
It was like a sense of familiarity transmitted from the Blood.
Jiang Yimian frowned and asked, “Have you met him before?”
Liuer shook her head, “Never.”
She was sure she had never met That Person. If she had met someone so powerful, she would definitely not forget him.
“That’s strange.”
That Person Zhao Cheng was indeed a little strange. She didn’t know where the Chu Prince found him, and why he was so loyal. It was really puzzling.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yimian couldn’t figure it out, so she simply didn’t bother to think anymore. She simply ate something to fill her stomach and got into her Carriage to rest.
The Carriages were all prepared by Lu Cijian. A layer of soft carpet was specially laid inside, which was very comfortable to lie on, so even if the journey was bumpy, it wouldn’t make her uncomfortable.
Everything inside the carriage was complete and very comfortable.
He had also specially prepared a Food Box, which was full of all kinds of Pastry that she liked to eat.
Jiang Yimian smiled and muttered, “This person is still considerate.”
The group rested in place for a morning and then continued on their journey.
The Caravan traveled overnight and finally arrived at Jiang City at dawn.
Everyone casually found an Inn, pretending to be Merchants, and stayed at the Inn.
After traveling continuously, everyone was a little tired. Except for a few people who stayed to watch the Carriages, the rest went upstairs to rest.
Jiang Yimian slept very well this time and didn’t wake up until the afternoon. When she came out of Inside the House, she felt that the fatigue all over her body had finally lessened a lot.
As soon as she went downstairs, she heard a familiar voice, “I, Young Master, have booked this Inn for tonight.”
