I am Yuan Niaoniao

Chapter 143 Messy in the wind

Hong Li was so distressed that she tiptoed to bandage Gu Yunmu's wound: "I didn't expect that Han Junyi was still quite capable. We could only deal with him together, but now you've been stabbed by him. I will not let him off!"

"I won't let him go either! But his martial arts are indeed better than yours and mine. I think we still have to make a new plan. Besides, he is now followed by a small group of soldiers, and their aura is not weak. They are not like ordinary troops. It will not be easy for us to take action against them." Gu Yunmu said gritting his teeth. He must avenge Han Junyi's sword.

"Yun Mu, have you noticed? They are all wearing veils to protect themselves from our poison. This won't do." Hong Li touched his chin with his hand, frowned and thought, "We need to change our method to have a chance to break through this level of defense. For example, how about using poison water!" His eyes flashed with cunning and determination.

Gu Yunmu's eyes also became sharp, and he nodded in agreement. "Poison water can! It can penetrate clothes, veils and other fabrics, and it can't resist the rapid penetration of water!" His voice was firm and confident.

The two looked at each other, with a tacit understanding and determination in their eyes. They knew that this new strategy might bring more challenges, but also a greater chance of success. So, they began to quickly prepare the preparation. This poisonous water is not only highly toxic, but can also quickly penetrate clothing and masks, making the enemy defenseless.

Gu Yunmu and Hong Li carefully put the poisonous water into a special container and took adequate protective measures.

"But this is just ordinary poison water, which may not be useful to them." Gu Yunmu suddenly thought calmly. He realized that if he just used ordinary poison water, it might not cause effective damage in the first place.

Hearing Gu Yunmu's words, Hong Li's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. She knew that in order to defeat Han Junyi, she had to take more powerful measures. So, she decided to work with Gu Yunmu to make a more toxic poison.

In the next few days, the two of them immersed themselves in the study of poisons. They read through a large number of ancient books and materials, looking for various poisonous plants and minerals, and tried to mix them together to find the best formula.

After countless experiments, they finally succeeded in developing a highly toxic water that not only rapidly corrodes human tissue, but also causes severe pain and breathing difficulties, and can even cause people to fall into a coma.

Gu Yunmu and Hong Li looked at each other and saw the joy and determination in each other's eyes. They knew that this poisonous water would become a powerful weapon for them to fight against Han Junyi.

“Once this poisonous water touches one’s skin it will rot immediately. No matter how high one’s martial arts skills are, he won’t be able to resist it.” Hong Li said confidently.

"Okay! Then let Han Junyi taste our power!" Gu Yunmu clenched his fists, his eyes determined.

"We have to catch up with them quickly. They are heading towards Zhao State, so we should go to Zhao State too!" Hong Li stared out the window fiercely. She must avenge Han Junyi for Gu Yunmu's sword attack!

"Well, let's catch up without further delay." Gu Yunmu nodded.

…………

"Strange! We traveled day and night and chased for two days without sleep, but we can't find any trace. Could it be that Han Junyi expected us to chase him?" Hong Li looked around, feeling a little confused. There was not a trace at all. It was very difficult to track the whereabouts of Han Junyi and others.

"Maybe he used some kind of sleight of hand. Anyway, we are definitely heading towards Zhao State. However, the woman next to him seems to be of great importance. We have to investigate her secretly." Gu Yunmu said with narrowed eyes.

The two took a short rest and then continued on their journey.

The reason why they couldn't keep up was because Han Junyi specifically ordered Feng to bring his men to follow behind him and Siyu's team and clean up all the traces. In this way, they couldn't tell which direction they were going.

"Twenty kilometers ahead is the State of Zhao. If we walk slowly, we will probably arrive there tomorrow. And princess, your guards may need to keep a low profile and just wait for us here. You and I will disguise ourselves and go into the city to find someone who can cure the poison." Han Junyi said.

Before Siyu could speak, she saw a group of men in black attacking her. The black warriors immediately formed a formation to block Siyu.

"Princess, please be careful. Swords have no eyes. I will go out to fight you. You stay behind to protect yourself. Feng, guard the princess!" After Han Junyi said this, he jumped into the air with the sword in his hand. With his agile figure and sharp swordsmanship, he knocked down several men in black to the ground in an instant.

Siyu hid behind Feng nervously. She looked at the chaotic scene in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel angry and scared. These people dared to openly attack this princess. They are so bold!

Siyu clenched her fists tightly, with anger flashing in her eyes. Although she knew that she had to remain calm and brave at this moment, she couldn't help but feel scared in the face of such danger.

"Princess, please rest assured. We will definitely protect your safety." Feng comforted her. He stood beside Siyu, holding the sword tightly in his hand, and watched the movements around him vigilantly.

Siyu nodded and tried to calm herself down. She knew that now was not the time to be afraid, but to find a way to deal with this crisis. She took a deep breath and focused on observing the situation around her. The battle was extremely fierce. Han Junyi's swordsmanship was like a storm, and the man in black gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of Siyu. He held a sharp dagger in his hand and stabbed towards Siyu's throat. Siyu's eyes widened in horror and his body involuntarily retreated.

In a flash, Feng sensed the danger. He moved and appeared beside Siyu like a ghost, stretched out his hand and pushed her away. At the same time, he waved the long sword in his hand, trying to block the hidden weapon.

There was a crisp "ding" sound as the hidden weapon collided with the sword, making a crisp sound. However, because Feng's attention was focused on protecting Siyu, this push caused a flaw in his defense.

A man in black took the opportunity to attack, and rushed towards Feng like lightning. The dagger in his hand flashed with cold light and stabbed straight into Feng's chest.

Feng was startled, but he reacted quickly and dodged sideways. Unfortunately, he was still a step too slow, and the dagger slashed his arm, leaving a bloody mark.

Feng groaned, a look of pain on his face. He gripped the hilt tightly, gritted his teeth and persisted in a fierce battle with the enemy.

Blood continued to flow out of the wound, soaking his sleeves, but he had no intention of retreating. He knew that he could not fall down at this moment and had to protect Siyu.

Siyu was so scared that she hid aside.

After several rounds of fighting, Feng suddenly felt that the fighting style of these men in black seemed familiar. He seemed to have seen these moves somewhere. The more he fought, the more frightened he became. Could they be people from Zhao? The last time he fought against Zhao, he used these moves.

Feng hurried to Han Junyi and said, "Master, these are people from Zhao State. We must fight quickly and decisively without any delay!"

Han Junyi's heart sank when he heard that it was someone from Zhao. He knew the fighting capacity of Zhao's soldiers very well, and if the problem was not solved quickly, something might happen.

His swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and each sword carried a deadly threat. Seeing this, the men in black retreated one after another, forming a circle to trap Han Junyi.

At this time, Feng and other black warriors fought hard to kill the enemies and buy time for Han Junyi.

Siyu watched the fight anxiously from the sidelines, secretly praying that she would be safe.

Suddenly, Han Junyi shouted loudly, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, instantly defeating the enemy. The man in black saw that the situation was not good and turned around to flee.

After the battle, Han Junyi came to Feng to check his injuries, fortunately he was not seriously injured.

"Apparently, this is a warning from the King of Zhao. We can't enter Zhao, Princess!" Han Junyi helped Feng up and looked at Siyu.

"Didn't you say you had a way? Now that we have reached the border of Zhao State, you tell me that we can't get in. Are you kidding me?" Siyu was a little angry!

Han Junyi frowned. He had coaxed Siyu out at first, but who knew it would turn out like this. "Maybe the princess's guards are too ostentatious!"

"Well, according to what you just said, what should we do now!" Siyu said helplessly. The Black Warrior is indeed an existence that cannot be ignored. But if there is no Black Warrior, she is afraid of suffering the same pain as last time.

"The princess and I will disguise ourselves and enter the city first so as not to attract attention. If the princess trusts me, I will do my best to protect her!" Han Junyi said with certainty.

Siyu thought about it and there was no better way, so she agreed to Han Junyi's request. So, the two of them changed into civilian clothes and quietly entered the capital of Zhao. After entering the city, Han Junyi took Siyu to an inn to stay. He planned to first inquire about the news of the antidote.

In the inn, Han Junyi, with his eloquent tongue, got to know a man from the underworld named Lin Yu.

Lin Yu told Han Junyi that the people of Zhao were not good at removing the poison, because only the outsiders of the Sturgeon Dragon Tribe knew how to cast and remove the poison. "If you are accidentally poisoned by the Sturgeon Dragon Tribe, there is almost no solution, because they will not easily remove it for you."

"Then can we just wait to die?" Han Junyi asked anxiously.

Seeing Han Junyi so anxious, Lin Yu couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Han Junyi has been poisoned?"

"It's not me, it's my wife. I don't know how she offended a strong man. She just had a quarrel with him for a few words, and then she felt unwell when she came back. The doctor said it was a poison with no cure. I took her to see doctors everywhere, but now she is at her wits' end! After hearing what you said, Brother Lin, I feel even more desperate. It's a pity that we were newlyweds and have no children yet, but we have suffered such a disaster!" Han Junyi said with a sad face.

This made sense and convinced Lin Yu. "Brother Han, don't be too sad. There is still a way. I know a member of the Sturgeon Tribe who can cast a Gu, but I don't know if he can remove the Gu that has poisoned your wife."

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I am willing to give it a try! Brother Lin, please tell me where this person is!" Han Junyi clasped his hands together and said sincerely.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "This man's name is Long Yin, and he lives in an old house outside the city. But he is a loner and not easy to approach." Han Junyi thanked Lin Yu and told him that he had decided to go find Long Yin.

The next morning, Han Junyi and Siyu set out to find Longyin. The old house outside the city looked eerie and mysterious, with a strange atmosphere around it. Han Junyi knocked on the door several times, but no one answered.

Just as they were about to leave, the door slowly opened and a figure appeared at the door. That person was Long Yin, who looked at Han Junyi and Siyu with cold eyes. "Who is it and what's the matter?"

"Hello, are you Long Yin?" Han Junyi asked softly.

"I asked who you are and what's the matter!" Long Yin said impatiently.

"I'm sorry, my name is Han Yi and my wife has been poisoned. We've been seeking medical treatment everywhere but have had no luck. Now I come to Mr. Long Yin with a glimmer of hope, hoping that you can save my wife!" Han Junyi looked at Long Yin with a pleading look on his face.

Long Yin frowned and looked at the two of them, "Who poisoned them?"

"I don't know, I just know that he is from the Sturgeon Dragon Clan." Han Junyi shook his head.

"Come in." Long Yin glanced at the two and turned to go into the house. Han Junyi and Si Yu looked at each other and hurriedly followed him in.

Long Yin sat on the chair and stretched out his right hand. Han Junyi understood and quickly handed Si Yu's wrist over. Long Yin closed his eyes and carefully felt the beating of his pulse.

Then he took out a small drum and beat it irregularly, and took out a maraca from somewhere, shaking it left and right, and then stood on a chair and danced a strange dance. This scene scared Siyu a little nervous, but Han Junyi watched Long Yin's strange dance with interest.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and said in a cold tone: "This Gu is a secret Gu made by the Sturgeon Clan, called 'Heart-Eating Gu'. At the mildest, it will mess up your mind and make you keep eating until your stomach swells and bursts and you die. At the worst, it will turn into a Gu worm that eats away at your internal organs. This kind of poison is not something that ordinary people can take. Have you offended someone from the royal family?"

Han Junyi and Siyu's faces changed drastically when they heard this. Heart-eating insect? It turned out to be such a vicious insect!

"However, it is not completely hopeless to cure this poison." Long Yin continued, "I can prepare an antidote, but it requires some special herbs."

He made a list of rare herbs. "I'll give you a week. If you're late, there's nothing I can do."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Long Yin!" Han Junyi gratefully took the list with both hands and promised to try his best to find these herbs. Then, the two of them said goodbye to Long Yin and turned to leave.

"Princess Siyu, it is not easy to find all these herbs within seven days." Han Junyi frowned and said, "But I am willing to try my best."

Siyu ignored what Han Junyi said and just waved to let him go. She was confused and began to regret why she had provoked Chen Shaoyi and ended up in such a situation. Was this her fate? Why, why did things turn out like this? Siyu fell to the ground, disheveled in the wind...

Han Junyi took a look and turned away with Feng. At this moment, he had to save Siyu to have a chance to start over. He had to give it a try no matter what.
