Huan Fu put his hand on his forehead, but he couldn't persuade her at all, so he asked something else: "Well, since you are so stubborn, did you have the concealed weapon I asked you to carry for self-defense last time with you? It was discovered by someone.
If I want to arrest you, you must know how to escape. I may not be available to help you."
"Of course, I even brought the whip, a concealed weapon from last time. I know how to escape on my own, so you don't have to worry about me. Let's work separately." Yan Ruocheng patted the whip on his lower back and said firmly.
"Then let's start looking for people. I've sent people to look for them in the northwest. I'll look for the south soon, so you can look for the east." Huan distributed the work and deliberately assigned the safest and least crowded area to the east.
Find it for her.
"Okay, let's go down and look for it quickly." Yan Ruocheng couldn't wait to finish speaking and set off immediately.
"Be careful!" Huan reminded her gently from behind.
Yan Ruocheng waved his hand and ran away.
The area to the east was where the tribe's servants lived. She quietly slipped into the servant's tent, found a servant outfit, and quickly changed it so that she could sneak in and find someone later.
In the secret room where Huang Chenling was locked up, he gradually woke up and lay on the plush bed. It was quite comfortable. He only moved his hands and feet and found that his limbs were tied to the bedposts and he couldn't move at all.
"Are you awake?" A middle-aged woman wearing a wizard's costume slowly walked over. She spoke the Central Plains dialect and her enunciation was clear.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that you will soon forget who you are. You will start a new life." She showed a weird smile, with an ugly scar on half of her face, and her pupils were white and gray.
"What do you want to do?" Huang Chenling listened to her tone and felt that her situation was very dangerous. She didn't know what this ugly woman was going to do to her.
The middle-aged woman did not answer him, but walked to the long wooden table on the side. On the wooden table were various powders and strange medicinal materials, and she began to pound the medicine.
"I'm warning you! Don't do anything to me. If you let me go, not only will I not blame you, but I will also reward you with gold. I promise you a thousand gold." Huang Chenling wanted to seduce her to see if she would obey him.
The command.
The middle-aged woman completely ignored him and continued to make medicine. It was obvious that she had no interest in the conditions he proposed.
"You are not interested in gold, so what do you want? As long as you let me go, I will try my best to satisfy your request." Huang Chenling continued to seduce her.
The middle-aged woman still ignored him, walked to the drawer, took out a large dried centipede, put it in and started pounding it together.
Yan Ruozhen searched several tents and wooden houses in the east, but found nothing at all. Instead, she saw Anga and was slapped by Lanlan.
The two of them seemed to be arguing about something, and Anga let Lan Lan slap him without making a sound or resisting.
"Anka, go back to the old tribe in the forest. I don't want to see you again! Go back quickly!" Lan Lan said angrily after finishing the slap.
"I won't go back. I'm here to take you back. No matter how you beat me, I won't go back." Anga said aggrievedly.
"Han Yida! Take him away for me. If he refuses to leave, lock him up. In short, he can't come to me in the past few days." Lan Lan couldn't persuade Anka and directly called Han Yida over.
.
Han Yida subdued Anga with a few clicks of his hands and feet, knocked him unconscious, and carried him away.
Yan Ruozhen followed Lanlan quietly not far behind. She felt that Huang Chenling was arrested here because it was most likely related to Lanlan.
Lan Lan did not go to find Huang Chenling, but was leading Yan Ruocheng in circles.
When there was no one around, Lanlan suddenly dodged, and Yan Ruocheng suspected that he had followed him.
Unexpectedly, she turned around and was attacked from behind by Lan Lan, knocking her unconscious with one move.
When she woke up, it was already night. Only then did she realize that she was locked in a cell that was so dark that she couldn't see her fingers.
"Oops! It hurts, does it hurt?" Yan Ruocheng covered her aching neck, and the waves hit the injured part of her neck, causing her pain to become even worse.
"Are you okay?" Anka greeted her in unclear Chinese dialect.
It almost startled her. She looked in the direction of the sound in the dark prison and saw Anga sitting cross-legged against the wall.
"Is it An Ka? Come here, it's too dark, I can't see you clearly," Yan Ruocheng said.
Anka shook the iron hoops on his hands and feet and said, "I can't get over. Come over by yourself." This time, the Central Plains dialect he spoke was obviously much clearer, and there was no longer a silly tone in it.
Say it like a normal person.
Yan Ruozhen had no choice but to stagger over by herself. Because it was too dark, she had already walked in front of him. Without knowing it, she fell directly onto his feet and threw herself towards the wall.
There was a bang on the forehead, "Bang!"
"Ouch! It hurts!" She pressed her forehead and covered her neck, squatting and moaning.
An Ga smiled at the side and said, "You are really funny. You look like a silly woman."
"Huh?" Yan Ruocheng turned his head and looked at him.
Anka's hair was spread down, and his usual stupidity disappeared completely. The man in front of him clearly showed a mature aura. His eyes were no longer erratic, and they were bright and clear. He was really pretending to be stupid.
"Why are you pretending to be stupid? Who are you?" Yan Ruocheng asked immediately.
"Who? Your friends haven't found out who I am or where I come from?" Anka asked leisurely.
"They don't have time to investigate you, an idler. You can explain it yourself." Yan Ruocheng said boringly.
"His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince of the neighboring country - Bailing City." Anga told her calmly.
"I thought you were pretending to be mysterious and refused to tell me. Is what you said true?" Yan Ruocheng asked suspiciously.
"If you think it's false, ask someone to find out who the tenth prince of Bailing City is." Anga said casually.
"Then you are the prince, why do you come here to pretend to be a fool? What's your reason?" Yan Ruocheng asked curiously.
"Hey, has anyone ever told you that you are too busy? As a woman, you are really a very busy person." Anka said with a chuckle.
"It's my nature to be troublesome. If you don't like to say anything, I won't ask you questions." Yan Ruocheng said.
"I came here to find someone." Anga sighed and said.
"Who is it? I need to trouble a prince to come all the way to find him. Is he your lover?" Yan Ruocheng said speculatively.
"Yes, I suspect Lanlan is the person I'm looking for, but she was replaced by another person by the witch doctor here." Anga said slowly.
Yan Ruozhen became confused after hearing this and asked: "Isn't Lanlan Lanlan herself? She has not lost her memory. She also remembers that you are Anka."
"She is not the patriarch's woman Lanlan at all, she is my lover Banxue." Anga said a little excitedly.
When Yan Ruocheng heard what he said, things started to get complicated. He said calmly: "Please explain clearly slowly, why did Banxue become Lanlan?"
Anga looked deeply in one direction and said sadly: "Banxue has been my maid since she was a child. She is well-behaved and smart, and gradually she and I developed feelings for each other. Unfortunately, my father found out about this matter.
The emperor took advantage of my absence when I was out of the city on business and ordered Banxue to be arrested and executed. Later, when I returned to the city, I thought she was dead. After being sad for a while, I learned that her adoptive mother had rescued Banxue.
I learned from her adoptive mother that Banxue came here. When I found her, she had turned into Lanlan. Except for her appearance and body shape, everything else was different."
Yan Ruozhen interrupted and said: "So you pretend to be a fool and stay with her, observe her, and see if she is just pretending, or if something happened to make her become another person."
"Yes. I'm still investigating how to turn her back into Banxue. However, she fell in love with your man at this time, which disrupted my plan." Anka said reproachfully.
"It's my fault that my man is too charming. Women stare at him wherever he goes. I'm also very troubled." Yan Ruocheng said, holding his forehead.
"If I'm not wrong, I guess Lanlan is planning to ask the witch doctor to turn your man into another person. If we don't go out to stop her, it will happen sooner or later." Anga speculated.
"How do you get out? You are being restrained by iron rings, and I am unarmed, uh! No, I am not unarmed." Yan Ruocheng thought of himself wearing concealed weapons and equipment.
She groped for her equipment and found some pointed and slender hidden weapons, and said, "Let's see if these can open iron rings."
On the other hand, Huang Chenling was in a critical situation.
"Swallow the medicine obediently. After a night's sleep, you will be transformed into a different person." The witch doctor took the prepared medicine powder and poured it into his mouth.
Huang Chenling would rather die and keep her mouth shut than open her mouth.
The witch doctor stepped directly on his stomach, and the intestines in his stomach seemed to be broken by her. The pain was so painful that Huang Chenling had to open her mouth slightly.
"That's good. My formula is very safe. Just eat it." The witch doctor opened his chin and poured a large amount of medicinal powder into the bowl.
Huang Chenling choked on the dry powder in his throat, causing him to cough, and instead of swallowing, he swallowed it.
The medicinal powder took effect immediately, and he felt dizzy and gradually became confused. The middle-aged woman in front of him saw dozens of figures.
"I won't let you go!" After he cursed angrily, he felt uncomfortable all over his body. He felt as if his body had been beaten. His headache spread all the way to his toes.
After a while, my body became hot and cold, as if I was poisoned. My whole body twitched, foam came out of my mouth, and my eyes began to turn white.
Lanlan came in to check on the situation. As soon as he came in, he was shocked to see Huang Chenling rolling her eyes as if she was about to die. She asked anxiously: "Witch doctor, will he be okay?"
"Don't worry, this is just a process. Once the medicine takes full effect, he will be fine." The witch doctor said very calmly.
