Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 228 The Uncommon Old Man of Tianshan

Yan Wuque did not return to Yun Yuxi's room, but discussed with Jing Zichu about returning to Kyoto.

He knew that the situation was becoming increasingly complicated and he had to prepare as soon as possible.

At this time, Yun Yuxi was anxiously waiting for Yan Wuque's return to ask about the old man of Tianshan.

She didn't know what was going to happen, let alone what would happen in the future. In this anxious mood, she fell asleep unconsciously.

Meanwhile, Jing Zichu received an important piece of news: the prince of Northern Qi was about to come to the Great Yan Dynasty. This news surprised Yan Wuque very much, because Northern Qi was currently in a turbulent period, but the prince came at this time, and did not inform the Great Yan Dynasty in advance. They speculated that the prince might have come in secret.

"Zichu, you leave here first and immediately arrange for the people in the Wangsheng Building to keep a close eye on Northern Qi's movements. In addition, you must go to Northern Qi in person to understand the situation there. At the same time, my leg injury must be kept strictly confidential and not let anyone know. Now is not the time to expose it." Yan Wuque said to Jing Zichu seriously.

Jing Zichu nodded and left in a hurry. He knew that time was running out and there could be no delay. However, just as he was about to leave, another piece of bad news came: the branch of Wangshenglou in Northern Qi was attacked and suffered heavy losses.

Hearing this news, Yan Wuque frowned. He realized that this matter was much more complicated than he had imagined. Jing Zichu seemed very anxious, as he was worried that his actions in Northern Qi would be hindered.

"Be careful on the road and make sure you come back safely. The situation in Northern Qi is chaotic right now. If something happens to you, how can I explain to the Ningguo Mansion?" Yan Wuque said worriedly.

Jing Zichu was well aware of the difficulty of the task, but he still nodded firmly, indicating that he would definitely complete the mission.

He then embarked on a journey to Northern Qi.

In the morning, Yun Yuxi was happily making fish soup. The soup made from cold water fish in the river was particularly delicious. She fell in love with fish soup on the first day she arrived in Sanmianshan.

The old man from Tianshan sniffed and murmured to himself, "What a nice smell! I wonder whose cooking skills are so great." Then he walked towards Yun Yuxi following the smell.

The pot was bubbling with steam, and the thick white fish soup was emitting an enticing aroma. The old man from Tianshan swallowed and said:

"Hey, girl. Can you get out of bed? I thought my disciple was so powerful..." The old man from Tianshan said in a nonsensical tone.

Yun Yuxi's mouth twitched, and when she raised her head, she saw the Tianshan old man with a sage-like appearance, white hair, white eyebrows, and white beard. It turned out to be the white-bearded old man who appeared in her dream.

"Girl. What's wrong? Do you think I'm much more handsome than your husband?" The old man from Tianshan teased.

Yun Yuxi was shocked. She knew that this old man from Tianshan was definitely not an ordinary person, so she smiled, bowed and said, "Old man, although you are indeed handsome and elegant, my husband is young."

At this moment, Yan Wuque came over. Hearing Yun Yuxi's words, his mood instantly became happy. He strode forward and hugged Yun Yuxi, saying proudly:

"Yu'er has good vision. He's not as narcissistic as some people who try to act cute everywhere even at their old age." After saying that, he glanced at the old man from Tianshan with disdain.

The old man from Tianshan chuckled, seemingly not paying attention to Yan Wuque's words. Instead, he suddenly picked up a large basin, quickly picked up the iron pot, and poured all the fish soup into the basin.

Then, he picked up the basin at an astonishing speed and disappeared in front of Yan Wuque and Yun Yuxi in the blink of an eye.

Yun Yuxi looked at the empty pot and laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, this old man is so cute, is he really the legendary being?"

Yun Yuxi asked as she set up the fire, preparing to cook another table of food. She also took the opportunity to thank the old man from Tianshan, after all, he saved her husband.

Yan Wuque said as he helped, "Yu'er, this is a long story. I do have a master, but I didn't know he was the legendary Tianshan Old Man, because he was like a dragon that could not be seen from head to tail, and he didn't look like this."

"You mean, you just found out that he's your master's?"

"Yes, and that genius doctor Xilaile turned out to be my second senior brother. I am the master's last disciple. I only found out after I woke up."

"Your Highness, the night before I was preparing to treat you, I dreamed of the old man from Tianshan. In the dream, he told me not to rush to save you, saying that the ice silkworm's own poison had not been completely digested, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Yu'er, my master is probably not a simple person. He can actually enter people's dreams. And there is something I want to tell you. Let's talk about it after dinner." Yun Yuxi looked at the food in front of her, her stomach growling, but she nodded. After all, she was still hungry.

Yun Yuxi had just finished cooking and was about to ask someone to invite Old Man Tianshan, but she found that he had already appeared at the table with a smile on his face.

When the old man from Tianshan saw the table full of delicious food, he did not hesitate to eat with relish. He even got out a pot of wine from somewhere and started to eat and drink at the same time, feeling very comfortable.

After finally eating and drinking to their heart's content, the old man from Tianshan praised with a satisfied look on his face: "Girl, your cooking skills are really getting better and better! I will come to the palace more often to eat, this dish is simply too delicious! You won't stop me from coming, will you?"

Yun Yuxi hurriedly smiled and invited, "Of course you are welcome to come anytime! We are also planning to return to the palace and will leave in the next two days. If you don't mind, you are welcome to come anytime."

"Girl, you are sensible. Unlike this brat, he is afraid that I will go bankrupt. By the way, brat, quickly give me 300,000 taels of silver. This is what Jing promised me."

After hearing what Yue Lan said, Yun Yuxi readily took out the silver note from the space and put it in the hand of the old man from Tianshan. Because of saving his life, he deserved even three million taels of silver, not to mention three hundred thousand taels of silver.

The old man from Tianshan collected the banknotes with a smile on his face, but before Yan Wuque and Yun Yuxi could react, he disappeared.

Then the voice of the old man from Tianshan was heard in the air, "I know what you want to ask. I'm going to Kyoto to spend some money first. I'll tell you when you come back. Don't try to disturb me from spending money now."

Yan Wuque shouted into the air a few times, but the only response he got was cold air.

"Your Highness, let's make arrangements and go back as soon as possible so that we can catch the Lantern Festival. But your leg condition has to be kept secret. I don't know what the emperor will do to you if he finds out," Yun Yuxi said seriously.

"Yu'er, this is what the king meant. The timing is not right now. If that person knew about it, there would be another bloody storm."
