Chapter 958: The Wasteful Prince vs. the First Female Official 1
As a result, when Xuan Yanjing took off her veil after entering the room, they were frightened.
Isn’t this the Crown Prince of Xuanwu Kingdom who should have been tied up here?
Xuan Yanjing took off her veil, walked towards Lingyao, dusted herself off, and sat down next to Lingyao.
Not wanting the four people tied up nearby to hear, he lowered his voice: "How is it? Why did you tie up two more people? What are these herbs?"
The God of Wealth had a lot of questions, and Lingyao answered them simply one by one.
After hearing this, Xuan Yanjing hugged Lingyao and his mouth was attracted to Lingyao's face like a magnet.
"You are so amazing, Yaoyao."
There was a loud slurp, and the clear sound reached the ears of the four people tied up nearby.
After listening to Lingyao's story, Xuan Yanjing also shared with Lingyao what he had gained today.
"There weren't many people guarding the place where they were being held, but the cell was filled with poisonous insects. Aside from them, who hadn't been dealt with by that Moon Charm yet, everyone else in the room had already been drained of their blood..."
When he said this, Xuan Yanjing frowned subconsciously, and the thought of the scene he saw at that place made him feel a chill.
Xuan Yanjing had been worried about this all the way. Although he and Lingyao were both very skilled, compared with the insects on the walls, they were bound to be attacked.
Besides, not to mention the two of them, even those soldiers would probably be used as food for the poisonous insects while escaping.
But now, after listening to what Lingyao said about the uses of those herbs, Xuan Yanjing felt suddenly enlightened, and the huge rock that had been pressing on his heart finally had a place to rest.
However, the ointments here might not be enough, which was why Lingyao was looking through the herbal book. Knowing this, Xuan Yanjing also sat down obediently, picked up the book and started reading.
The two of them learned how to make medicine in the woodshed. If there weren't four people tied up next to them, they would have looked quite harmonious.
Xuan Yanjing went out for a while and brought back dinner for Lingyao. He also brought a steamed bun to each of the four prisoners.
It’s not because Xuan Yanjing is kind-hearted, but because Xuan Yanjing estimates that it would be too slow for him and Lingyao to make the ointment alone, and their situation is urgent now, so they don’t have much time left.
Yue Mei nourished the poisonous insect with the blood of the Moon Clan members again today. Maybe it will recover soon. They must speed up.
So Xuan Yanjing and Lingyao discussed and decided to let the four tied up people join in the medicine making.
It was Lingyao who proposed this idea. Xuan Yanjing was surprised at the time and worried that they would not cooperate, but he always believed in Lingyao, so he didn't think much about it and brought back a steamed bun for each of them.
When I took the steamed bun, I was laughed at by the Yue people who were distributing the rice.
They say that it's no wonder that a woman like him eats so much that he's so big and fat.
Xuan Yanjing wanted to retort immediately, how could he be big and fat? Those were clearly his chest muscles and abdominal muscles, which his Yaoyao particularly liked.
But he held back. A real man can bend and stretch. It doesn't matter if her waist is thick. Everyone has their own beauty. They just don't know how to appreciate it.
When Xuan Yanjing handed the steamed buns to the four Moon Clan members, they all had some shock on their faces. However, they were indeed hungry after being locked up for a day. The two who were knocked unconscious and stripped of their clothes by Xuan Yanjing and Lingyao were lucky enough and did not participate in the Moon Clan's sacrificial ceremony.
The other two pharmacists were knocked unconscious and carried here before they could recover from participating in the sacrifice today. Their lips were pale.
After Xuan Yanjing and Lingyao finished their meals, they led the four people to start working.
Lingyao and Xuan Yanjing still had some humanity. They asked the two people who offered the sacrifice to be responsible only for sorting the herbs, and left things like grinding the herbs to the four of them.
The four of them were working without making any noise, but they seemed a little afraid of Lingyao. At the beginning, when Lingyao raised her hand, they were all frightened.
How can I not be afraid? After all, my bones are still hurting.
Six people work faster than two pairs of hands. After the work was done, Lingyao tied the four people back.
Xuan Yanjing and Lingyao went out under the cover of darkness and strong wind.
The night was as dark as insoluble ink. Even the stars hid in the clouds. Only a few faint moonlight occasionally leaked through the gaps in the clouds, barely outlining the mottled shadows of the houses.
Xuan Yanjing lay in the shadow of the wall, his face covered with a white veil, revealing only a pair of astonishingly bright eyes.
He grasped the short blade hidden in his sleeve, followed Lingyao and quietly sneaked into the Moon Clan patrol team and entered the supervised area.
When they approached the cells where the soldiers were held, Xuan Yanjing and Lingyao stopped.
Xuan Yanjing met Lingyao's gaze sideways, and his palm under his long sleeves touched Lingyao's palm.
A brief handshake and then release.
Her eyes were like the surface of a frozen lake, calm on the surface, but deep down she held an almost chilling composure.
Faced with such a thrilling moment, there was no wavering in those eyes, revealing neither panic nor anxiety, but they just looked steadily at the right place, like a precise compass, always pointing in a clear direction in the chaos.
Under her gaze, Xuan Yanjing gradually found his way and calmed down.
He quickly communicated with the confidant he had agreed upon, and handed over all the ointments in his hand in the name of distributing meals.
A heavy box.
"Let everyone apply this ointment. There are also some herbs in it that can be distributed..."
It took Xuan Yanjing and Lingyao several runs to several cells to deal with the same thing.
I was exhausted after a night of work, but fortunately the result was good. Except for the fact that we were almost discovered by two more perceptive Moon Clan members along the way, the operation could almost be considered a success.
The two sharp-eyed Moon Clan members were naturally knocked unconscious.
After distributing the herbs and handing over a simple route map drawn by Lingyao to his subordinates, the soldiers' affairs were almost dealt with.
Next, Xuan Yanjing and Lingyao prepared to meet the Moon Clan Goddess.
There were many more people guarding the Moon Goddess's side than the place of detention. Even though it was late at night, the shadows in the moon-colored long skirts came and went almost without stopping.
Unlike Lingyao's second visit, Xuan Yanjing was here for the first time.
Looking at the room surrounded by piles of people, Xuan Yanjing's eyebrows twisted into two caterpillars, and a hint of worry appeared in his dark pupils: "They are guarding too tightly here. Almost the entire Moon Clan is here."
Not only are there many people protecting them, but it is also obvious that ordinary people from the Moon Clan cannot even get into the innermost layer. There is an administrator on each layer to verify their identities.
Lingyao nodded in agreement with Xuan Yanjing's words, but the two of them had different ideas.
Xuan Yanjing felt that under the current circumstances, the two people's idea of using the Moon Clan members to get in would not work.
Lingyao was calculating whether she should attack them layer by layer and wipe them out at once, or capture the leader first.
While Xuan Yanjing was still thinking of a solution, he heard a loud clang suddenly erupted from the house, and then all the Moon Clan members surrounding the house suddenly bent their knees and half-knelt.
Someone reacted quickly and took out the ointment from his pocket and started applying it.
