After carefully inspecting Lin Shengchun's spy who came down from the tower, the two men and the cavalry team accompanying them walked out of the towering gate.
Heading south, Lin Shengchun headed straight towards the valley where cold lichens grew.
The mountain road was difficult to navigate, so everyone had to dismount their horses and walk up a ridge. Lin Shengchun immediately pointed to a clump of herbs growing on the side cliff, "Look, there is a clump over there!"
"Sir, I'll go pick it up for you later!" Li Li respectfully agreed, tied the animal sinew he brought to the big stone, and climbed up to pick the medicine himself.
The accompanying guards didn't care about these things, they were already chatting and drinking aside.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Lin Shengchun immediately made a gesture to Li Qiye.
"Ah!" With a scream, Mo Li raised his hand to cut off the beast's sinews, pretended to have lost his footing, swept down the cliff, and hid behind the rocks on the side.
"It's not good, help people!" Lin Shengchun pretended to be panicked and shouted.
The cavalry rushed over and looked at the steep cliff, but they just looked disapproving, "It's just a little medicine boy, why do we, the city lord's personal soldiers, need to rescue him?"
"But..." Lin Shengchun was secretly happy in his heart, but pretended to be sad on his face.
"But what's the matter? Just change it to another place. If you fall, I can't save you!" the cavalry leader said displeasedly.
These medicine boys are just the lowest slaves. How can these cavalry care about their life and death? Lin Shengchun had already expected this. He pretended to be helpless and looked at the bottom of the cliff. He sighed and picked up the medicine basket, "What a pity.
!”
Listening to the sound of everyone's footsteps getting further away, Mo Li immediately summoned the Winged Tiger and left the valley without anyone noticing. Only when he was in a safe place did he release Cangshan Xue from the ring and return to the city with him.
This time, the two of them had been away for a full day. Han Tieyi even sent people to go down to the cave to check several times but couldn't find anyone. He just assumed that something had happened to the two of them. In desperation, he had to go back to the city to report to Madam Bai.
.
Just as he was halfway through his words, he saw the servants outside rushing in, "Madam, the sect master, the young master and Miss Mo are back!"
Before he finished speaking, the two of them had already entered the back door first. The red-haired one in black clothes was Cang Shanxue, and the one in a gray short shirt dressed as a boy was naturally Mo Li.
"Great!" Han Tieyi stood up with a look of joy on his face, "I was just about to apologize to Madam!"
Cang Shanxue nodded lightly to him, waved his men to leave, and then spoke seriously, "Ye Yuan is preparing for a hundred days of soul-breaking. Grandpa Lin guessed that he might poison the Gastrodia powder. It seems that we can take back the Nine Layers Palace.
We can’t delay the matter for too long!”
"How do you know about this?!" Madam Bai asked in shock.
Cang Shanxue took Mo Li's arm and sat on the chair, and then briefly told the two of them what happened after they entered the cave, "After entering the mine, we found the monster's lair, and then by accident...
We entered the underground palace and found the passage connecting the underground palace and the Jiuzhong Palace. It was Grandpa Lin who helped us escape from the tower..."
Of course, he ignored the plot where he confessed his love to Mo Li in the monster's stomach and Mo Li secretly hid the soul-protecting armor in the underground palace.
After hearing this, Han Tieyi clenched his fists in anger, "This Ye Yuan is so despicable that he wants to spend a hundred days to destroy his soul!"
"This guy has been so despicable for more than a day or two. Right now, the most important thing is to recapture the Jiuzhong Palace before these medicines take effect. Otherwise, once the medicine takes effect and all the Yamas in the entire palace are controlled by him, even if
Now that the city lord has returned, it will be even more difficult to deal with Ye Yuan again!" Cang Shanxue said.
