especially since the other party had mocked him for lacking even a single experience of escorting alone."Get those two bitches out of here!"Chang Shunyuan said with a hint of dissatisfaction, then tu..."Thank you, Ripple!"

Wang Meimei immediately helped Xiao Shu up, pulled him onto the horse, then changed direction and quickly left that battlefield.

The ripples swept around in a circle, and then he took out his whistle and blew it softly. The sound traveled far away. Two hours later, the first to arrive was Wang Zhenzhen.

Shortly after the ripples left, she also heard the sound of horses' hooves. She then followed the ripples' path and found a man who had lost his breath. After hearing the whistle, he immediately came over following the sound.

Facing Qi Qiji was Lian Yi, her expression changed, and with a few leaps, she arrived beside Lian Yi. She only glanced lightly at Qi Qiji before speaking:

"Ripples, are they troubling you"

"I'm not sure, you'd have to ask Qi Gongzi about that."

Wang Zhenzhen looked down at the group of martial artists lying on the ground and said coldly:

What about them

It was they who brought disaster upon us, encircling us! It's a pity that Old Snake escaped. They parted ways after that.

Ripples explained.

Wang Zhenzhen swept over the few people who were still alive, going straight for the kill. This was a fight to the death anyway, why leave these people around to cause them more trouble!

For the two women's decisiveness and swiftness, Qiqi and the guards behind her remained silent, watching in silence, but also gripped their sword hilts tightly.

Liàn yī duì qí qī xiào le yī shēn, kāi kǒu dào:

"Before Bai Long returns, can I know how Qi Gongzi met them"

Of course, after I finished my business in Huai'rou County, I set off to catch up with you. Unfortunately, I was always a step behind. And I heard they said you had a treasure map. I just don't think they were telling the truth. To get to the bottom of things, I decided to travel with them for now.

Now it seems they are the ones with the real treasure map, you're just a target they set up.

Qi Qi wasn't stupid. He immediately summarized the information he received and, connecting it with what the Jade Fan Young Master and the gossip master Wang MeiMei from the Eight Trigrams Gate had said earlier, he pieced together the truth of the matter.

"Master Qi is clear-thinking, a rare intelligent person! Would you like to continue on this path with us"

Ripple smiled and asked.

Past Huangsha City, we enter the territory of Longxi. It will take another three days' journey to reach Wangjia.

"Of course, with two colleagues around, I feel very safe with Qi."

Qiqi laughed and said.

Seeing Lady Zhen's nimble swordplay just now, he knew that the two of them had likely been putting on a facade all along. One was more secretive than the other, and despite traveling with others for half the journey, they hadn't noticed that Lady Zhen was also skilled in martial arts. Their disguises were so good that even the guards would be impressed.

At this moment, a white horse galloped towards them, followed by two black horses. They were the three horses of the White Dragon who had run away in the chaos.

At this time, Wang Yaizu on horseback finally let go of his hanging heart. Bailong took him to shake off the people behind him and immediately hid in a pile of stones. He was still wondering how to hide here, but within less than an incense stick's time, a sandstorm swept over. Fortunately, they were hiding in the stone pile and had cover, so they safely passed through the storm.

After the wind died down, he immediately mounted the white dragon and prepared to return. At first, the white dragon walked slowly, and they encountered two other horses halfway: one was his, and the other belonged to Lady Zhen. The three horses gathered together, sniffed each other's noses twice, and then all followed behind the white dragon at a slow pace.

As they were walking, Bai Long suddenly let out a roar and then bolted, causing Wang Yaozou to instinctively grab the reins. After galloping for an incense stick's time, he saw a red-cloaked ripple, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

Wang Yaozu also saw Qi Qilang, who had parted ways with him in Huai'rou County before. However, due to his disguise now, he could only pretend not to know him. When Bailong stopped beside Lian'yi, he dismounted and started sobbing, saying:

"Madam, Sister Lianyi, I thought I wouldn't see you both!"

"Are you hurt"

Lady Zhen directly asked.

"No! Bai Long is very smart, he led me to avoid those bad guys and we even dodged the storm."

Qi Qi looked at the girl weeping before her, momentarily unsure of her identity. She immediately asked:

"Did Lady Jen change her coachman"

She isn't a coachman; she was bought as a rough-and-tumble maid by Lian Yi. The previous coachman got injured and voluntarily quit his job, and we parted ways in Wujiang County.

"Let's go! Head back and hitch our wagon, we don't have much more road to cover."

The ripples flipped onto Bai Long, Zhen Fu got on her own steed, Wang Yaozu also feigned mounting the last horse, and then the group rushed towards where they had been besieged before.

In the princess's chambers within the palace, Xiangyi had already consumed the medicine prepared by Huo Mian. A layer of dark green ointment was applied to the wound on her face. She felt as if a fire was burning inside her stomach, and a searing pain spread across her face, intensifying with each passing moment.

Xiangyi finally couldn't hold it in and cried out. On the side, Huo Mian was very calm, restraining her hands and feet, then said with encouragement:

"Princess, if you're feeling pain, it means the medicine is working. Just endure until the medication takes effect, and you'll recover your former beauty. This is what you promised yourself, remember"

"I know! Oh!"

Xiangyi did everything she could to save face, finally gritting her teeth and holding on with a cork. She felt lightheaded all over, like she was swimming in water, and passed out.

Huo Mian personally wiped off the green medicinal ointment from Xiangyi's face, which had already faded. The place where she was cut had healed, leaving only a red mark, proving that she had been injured before. He nodded in satisfaction and said to the maidservant beside him:

"You can help the princess clean up, change her clothes, and only use warm water to wipe her face. When she wakes up, let her have some rice porridge first, and don't give her any meat or spicy food."

"Yes!"

Two maidservants obediently obeyed, then began to carry out the order with gentle hands and feet.

When Xiangyi woke up, it was already noon the next day. She was extremely hungry, but she was even more concerned about her face. When she saw in the mirror that the cuts on her face had really healed, leaving only faint red marks, she immediately exclaimed with joy:

"My face is better! It's really better!"

"Princess, Dr. Huo ordered you to abstain from meat and seafood for now. Please have some rice porridge first."

"Well, I understand! Summon Physician Xuan Huo!"

Yes, princess!

The maid saw that the princess was in a good mood today, and she let out a sigh of relief. After serving her rice porridge, she hurried to find Huo Mian.

After Xiangyi finished her porridge and got dressed, Huo Mian also arrived.

"The princess looks well, it seems the medicine is working."

“Thank you, Doctor Huo, you are truly a divine physician. Your medicine has cured my illness instantly. You are far superior to those quack doctors at the Imperial Medical Bureau.”

Xiangyi showered him with praise.

It is my honor to share the princess's worries.

After Huo Mian finished speaking, he took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to the maid beside him, saying:

"The princess's skin is delicate and has just healed, with some red marks. This is the ointment I concocted. Apply it once in the morning and once at night after cleansing your face. After a week, the marks will disappear, guaranteeing the princess a complexion as pure as jade."

"Good! Excellent!"

After receiving his reward, Huo Mian left the princess's palace and turned to see the Emperor.here.Felix looked at the latest news, gasped, this Miss Yunyì was really good at it, she single-handedly almost brought the entire F country's economy to its knees. He couldn't sit still either.At thi...
