"It would have been better if the medicine bottle I had brought on my body before was not washed away by the river. It would have been much more effective than these temporary medicines."
Xiao Lingyue sighed, "Now I can only use it."
It's already dark.
The drugstore is about to close.
Xiao Lingyue put away the medicine bottle, walked out to thank the shopkeeper, and then left the medicine shop.
The antidote pills that suppress the toxins were prepared for Zhan Beihan, and she couldn't use them herself.
Therefore, you have to find someone.
Since he separated last night, Zhan Beihan disappeared from where he was. He probably wouldn't go back to the house where he originally settled.
Then he is most likely to go to two places now.
Xiao Lingyue thought for a moment and was about to go to Li's house while taking advantage of the night. When she passed by a small vendor selling masks, she stopped and picked the two simplest ones to buy.
At this time, Li's house had been completely blocked.
The door is closed.
There were more than a dozen yamen runners holding torches at the door and guarding the walls, so they were not well protected.
Xiao Lingyue did not approach him rashly, stood in the alley not far away and took a look, then took a detour to the position where she sneaked in last night, put on a mask and prepared to use the same trick again.
""The rustling footsteps came from behind.
Xiao Lingyue's eyes sterned, and she suddenly turned sideways to avoid the attack, and the dagger hidden in her sleeve pressed against the other party's throat!
The man suddenly stiffened and did not dare to move: "Miss Shen?"
"Why are you?"
Xiao Lingyue saw the man's face clearly and was stunned, and soon realized something.
"Is your master who asked you to wait here?"
The young man who was pressed by her neck was dressed in a low-key coarse cloth dress and dressed in an ordinary civilian manner, but his face was exposed. He was one of the guards who had protected King Xiang along the way before.
Xiao Lingyue didn't remember his name, but recognized his face.
The guard froze and hesitated to look at the rough wood-carved mask on her face, covering her face tightly, revealing only a pair of eyes.
"Are you Miss Shen?"
"It's me."
Xiao Lingyue took back the dagger and couldn't take off her mask, so she said, "I came from the county government and King Xiang is safe."
The identity of King Xiang has not been revealed yet, only they themselves know it.
The guard breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bowed: "I have met the county lord!"
"Forgive." Xiao Lingyue asked directly, "Who asked you to stay here?"
"When I return to the county lord, my subordinate is the handwriting of His Highness Fengyi, and I am waiting for the county lord here." The guard replied respectfully.
Xiao Lingyue frowned: "What did King Yi say? Where is the others?"
The guard shook his head: "I don't know the prince's whereabouts, but I just received a handwritten order to wait for the county lord here today. If the county lord doesn't come, I will go to the county government office to meet with His Highness Xiang early tomorrow morning. If the county lord comes, I will come.
Then the prince ordered his subordinates to tell the county lord a word."
Xiao Lingyue was puzzled: "What are you talking about?"
"The prince said that there may be any abnormal movements in Li's house tonight, so let the county lord be careful and not alert the enemy!"
Xiao Lingyue's eyebrows thumped: "Only this sentence? Did he say anything else?"
The guard shook his head silently.
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "When did you receive the handwritten order? Have you ever seen King Yi? How do you make sure the handwritten order is true?"
