Xiao Lingyue quickly left the private house while it was still dark.
During the time when she returned to the station outside the city, she gathered her mood and calmly thought about what to do next.
She doesn't care about Zhan Beihan's mission.
What she wants to do is to find the real leader of the Nanyan caravan and test whether he has the antidote to the poisonous needle.
Zhan Beihan was hit by a lot of poisonous needles, but because of their small size, each needle was not contaminated with much poison. Nanyan's dead soldiers were accustomed to hiding tens of thousands of poisonous needles in their wrist guards.
Here, it is triggered by mechanisms, making it difficult for enemies to avoid.
Zhan Beihan sealed his meridians immediately after being poisoned. With his skills and physical fitness, it was not a problem to resist for several days.
But if it is delayed for a long time, the toxin will spread sooner or later.
The sooner you get the antidote, the safer it will be.
Xiao Lingyue thought about it in her mind, stabilized her mood, and returned to the caravan station.
It's still dark.
Xiao Lingyue opened the tent and walked in. In the darkness, she heard a confused voice: "Mrs. Xiao?"
She was startled, and then said calmly: "Qiao Qing? Why are you awake?"
"Where have you been?" Qiao Qing rubbed her eyes and sat up in a daze, "I just got up and went to the hut and found that you weren't there... Is it daylight outside?"
Xiao Lingyue said softly: "Not yet. I just got up. The tent is a bit stuffy. I went out to get some air."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qing lay down again and said confusedly: "Oh, then I'll sleep a little longer..."
Xiao Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief: "Go to sleep, I'll call you at dawn."
Qiao Qing didn't respond and fell asleep again.
I slept until daybreak.
Xiao Lingyue woke her up for breakfast. She was still rolling around in the quilt and sat up with a sleepy look on her face.
"Are you so sleepy?" Xiao Lingyue laughed and handed her the hot towel.
Qiao Qing covered her face with a towel and said in a low voice: "I'm so tired from traveling these days. I'm so sleepy..."
After washing her face, she finally woke up, put down the towel and asked curiously: "Did you go out this morning? I seemed to be half asleep when I heard you talking."
"I just went out to get some fresh air. I accidentally disturbed you when I came back. I'm sorry."
Xiao Lingyue said softly.
Qiao Qing blinked: "You went out to relax before dawn. Do you miss your husband?"
Xiao Lingyue smiled and accepted it as acquiescence, then asked: "Miss Qiao, I heard that Boss Zhao is going to visit the county magistrate today. Could you please ask me if you can take me with you? I can follow you as an attendant.
I won’t cause you any trouble later.”
Qiao Qing was puzzled: "What are you going to do?"
Xiao Lingyue had already thought of the reason: "I heard that many caravans who come to Yuanmu Town to do business will go to visit the county magistrate and give gifts. Maybe my husband is the same. I want to try my luck."
Qiao Qing suddenly realized: "So that's it, okay, I'll ask you for it."
Xiao Lingyue was grateful: "Thank you."
"Little things."
Qiao Qing has a fiery temperament and is quick to do things.
After Xiao Lingyue had breakfast with the caravan, she came back after asking: "Boss Zhao agreed to take you with me, but I have to ask you to pretend to be a follower and not talk nonsense."
Xiao Lingyue showed a surprised expression: "You should, thank Boss Zhao for me!"
"It's just one more person, no need to be so polite." Qiao Qing waved her hand, "I'm going anyway, and you'll be with me then. If there's anything you need to pay attention to, I'll remind you."
Xiao Lingyue naturally agreed.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qiao Qing took her back to the tent to change clothes, and then met up with Boss Zhao and his party, preparing to enter the city.
Boss Zhao didn't bring many people with him. In addition to Qiao Qing and Xiao Lingyue, there were two men who were helping him. They entered the city and walked to the county magistrate's office carrying gifts they had prepared long ago.
