Chapter 212 An Accident in the Accident

The noise from the corridor stopped Bai Aoxue from saying what she wanted to say. Several people looked at each other. At this moment, Nalan Youhong just wanted to stand up to open the door.

No sooner did he pull on the door handle than the door had been pushed open from the outside.

Nalan Youhong trembled suddenly and then quickly moved to the left sideways. His right hand had clenched the sword which was held at his waist. The sharp sword would soon be drawn out!

“Zhao?” Bai Aoxue cried out softly and looked at Zhao who broke into the room and weakly leaned against the door.

And Nalan Youhong also put down the sword which he was about to pull out again because of Bai Aoxue’s cry, “Zhao”.

Nalan Youhong looked at Zhao’s weak appearance at this moment and was very shocked in his mind.

Immediately holding Zhao who was tumbledown and helping him get into the room, Bai Aoxue quickly walked to the door. After making sure that there was no one outside, she shut the door.

The moment the door was closed, a rust-like smell had already spread into Bai Aoxue’s breathing.

Zhao was injured! This was Bai Aoxue’s first thought.

Nalan Youhong helped Zhao sit down beside the table. Zhao struggled to stand up and wanted to salute to Jun Yeyan and admit his mistake.

“Sit down.” The indifferent tone carried a trace of majesty that couldn’t be ignored.

Bai Aoxue quickly walked to the side of Zhao and felt his pulse.

While Jun Yeyan and Nalan Youhong said nothing but waited for Bai Aoxue to diagnose.

Looking at Bai Aoxue’s slightly wrinkled eyebrows, Jun Yeyan and Nalan Youhong both knew that Zhao must have experienced something to be like this.

They saw Zhao who was so weak when the forces of the Dark King were once formed. At that time, they were understaffed. Zhao only showed his feebleness when he, along with more than a dozen people, fought against hundreds of people. At that time, weak as Zhao was, he was not like this.

“You are poisoned.” Bai Aoxue looked at Zhao and said in a heavy voice.

Nalan Youhong was very shocked when he heard this. He didn’t expect that Zhao would be poisoned. On the contrary, Jun Yeyan was much calmer. He knew Bai Aoxue better than himself.

If Zhao was only injured, she would not feel Zhao’s pulse. It was because Zhao was poisoned that she did so.

Zhao gently nodded and said, “As you ordered, I followed the man who had been secretly observing Master and Princess. I didn’t think there would be a secret passage in this post station. I followed the man to get into the secret passage, only to find that after getting out of the secret passage, it was the back of the Mountain Qing.”

Several people, including Bai Aoxue, listened to Zhao’s account and felt a little surprised in their hearts. They didn’t expect that this post station was secretly connected to Mountain Qing.

“I followed the man to get into the Mountain Qing and found the villa of Mountain Qing which was unexpectedly at the back of the Mountain Qing. The gate was guarded by a guard. I didn’t go in, but the guard was not a simple person, either. From their ways of standing and talking, I think they are more like trained soldiers!” After a pause, Zhao spoke in great detail about the news he had achieved.

While Jun Yeyan listened to Zhao’s words, he also wrinkled his handsome eyebrows slightly.

“When I came back, I walked along the way I came. There was an array in the secret passage unexpectedly. I followed the man in black to get in before, so I didn’t touch it. I thought it would be right if I walked along the same route when I went back. However, I did not expect that I would touch the gear. The arrow in the secret passage was poisonous, and I was injured, but I didn’t notice it.” Zhao said and blamed himself.

Bai Aoxue took a porcelain bottle out of her sleeve and handed the pill to Zhao. She said, “Fortunately, this poison is not strong. It is a common one. If you don’t take the antidote in time, you will have a Meridian disorder and bleed to death from all the seven openings of your head. Fortunately, I have an antidotal pill here. This poison can be cured.”

Zhao did not hesitate to take the pill delivered by Bai Aoxue, which showed how much Zhao trusted Bai Aoxue.

“Where is the secret passage?” Jun Yeyan asked lightly.

“Just go out and turn left. You will see a small door of less than one meter. After entering the small door, there will be a secret passage.” Zhao said in a deep voice.

Jun Yeyan nodded with understanding and looked at Zhao. He said, “Now close your eyes and regulate your breathing. Quickly absorb the drug effect and detoxify yourself as soon as possible.

“Master, this is my fault! Ask you for punishment! ” Zhao blamed himself and said.

Jun Yeyan looked down at Zhao who was weak and said, “It is my fault this time. I don’t think there will be any array here. I don’t blame you this time. You take good care of yourself.”

“Don’t talk about it now. Nalan, catch a cat as soon as possible.” Bai Aoxue interrupted the conversation between them and said while looking at Nalan Youhong.

Although Nalan Youhong did not understand why Bai Aoxue wanted him to catch a cat at this time, he knew that it was not a joke when looking at Bai Aoxue’s serious appearance.

He quickly went out to look for a cat.

“Zhao touched the gear. If someone enters the secret passage after a while, he will find that the secret passage is broken in by outsiders. Then he will inform the people of Mountain Qing. After that, they must firstly suspect us, which is very bad for us. After all, we are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark.” Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan and said slowly while analyzing it.

Jun Yeyan also guessed roughly the reason why Bai Aoxue asked Nalan Youhong to find a cat.

“What did you want to say just now?” Jun Yeyan couldn’t help asking, thinking of the words which Bai Aoxue did not finish.

When Bai Aoxue heard Jun Yeyan’s question, she was slightly shocked and recalled what she wanted to say just now. She looked at Jun Yeyan and said, “I remember that there is a stronghold at the border between Mountain Qing and Nanyue Dynasty. Did Jun Wuhen set it up on purpose? Where is it now?”

After Bai Aoxue said this, Jun Yeyan gently wrinkled his handsome eyebrows, as if thinking of something.

Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan like this and did not disturb Jun Yeyan’s thinking. While Zhao was regulating his breathing, Bai Aoxue felt Zhao’s pulse.

“Give me your hand.” Bai Aoxue said lightly.

Zhao did not understand, but he still gave his hand to Bai Aoxue.

Drawing a sharp dagger out of the sleeve, Bai Aoxue flipped her wrist. She had already clenched the dagger in her hand. Cutting Zhao’s fingertip with a hole, Bai Aoxue took the kettle on the table and put the overflowing blood of Zhao’s fingertip into it.

And Zhao also found that his overflowing blood was jet-black! So terrible!

“Under such a poison, just taking the antidotal drug and regulating the breath cannot detoxify the poison totally. When entering your body from your skin, the poison got into your blood. I have given you the antidote that can converge the contaminated blood, and then I will find the right place to lead it out. Then your poison will be detoxified.” Bai Aoxue looked at Zhao’s fingertip and took out the hemostatic powder. She wiped it on Zhao’s fingertip and explained in detail.

Hearing this, Zhao admired Bai Aoxue in his heart to a deeper degree, and he was also secretly shocked in his mind. If this time there was no Princess around him when he was poisoned, maybe he would have to bleed to death from all the seven openings of his head!

Thinking like this, Zhao felt more disgusted with the people of Mountain Qing while he was still scared.

Just as Zhao was thinking, Bai Aoxue had already handed a glittering and translucent porcelain bottle to Zhao.

“Princess?” Zhao looked at Bai Aoxue confusedly.

“There are several antidotal pills in this porcelain bottle. Some common poisons can be detoxified just as I did just now, but the blood needs to be released. As for some severer poisons, those antidotal pills can suppress them for several days. Take the antidotal pills in case you need them.” Bai Aoxue put the porcelain bottle into Zhao’s hand and said calmly.

Zhao listened to the words of Bai Aoxue and knew that what Bai Aoxue did was for them. Being moved in his heart, Zhao looked up at his Master.

Jun Yeyan listened to Bai Aoxue’s words and also knew Bai Aoxue’s thoughts. He nodded and asked Zhao to accept it.

“What Xue gives you is the same as I give you. Just accept it.” Jun Yeyan said lightly.

“Thanks, Princess!” Standing up slowly, Zhao said and looked at Bai Aoxue, kneeling on one knee.

Bai Aoxue lifted Zhao and said, “You just detoxified the poison. Your nerves are affected by the poison so that you act a little slowly now. After a good adjustment, you’ll recover.”

Zhao listened to the words of Bai Aoxue and nodded without worries, while Nalan Youhong also came back at this time.

“I’m back!” Nalan Youhong came into the house with a black cat in his arms.

“Was there anyone outside when you came in just now?” Jun Yeyan looked at Nalan Youhong and asked slowly.

Nalan Youhong shook his head.

“Hold the cat and follow me.” After saying that, Jun Yeyan quickly headed for the door.

Nalan Youhong also followed closely and did not dare to delay.

Bai Aoxue saw the leaving figure of Jun Yeyan but did not follow.

“Won’t you go with them, Princess?” Zhao looked at Bai Aoxue confusedly and asked. He thought Bai Aoxue would go with Jun Yeyan.

Bai Aoxue shook her head and said, “You are poisoned now. If any suspicious person comes in, you cannot protect yourself now. I stay here to have a look at the situation and think it over.”

Hearing this, Zhao was moved in his mind but did not know how to speak.

“Jun Yeyan and I share the same idea. If Nalan Youhong goes there alone, he does not know the array and may be hurt by the arrow like you. Therefore, the best way is that I stay here while Jun Yeyan solves the array by himself.” Bai Aoxue said lightly.

“You said that the guards of the villa of Mountain Qing were like trained soldiers. Could it be possible that they are those people left by Jun Wuhen at the border between Mountain Qing and Nanyue Dynasty?” Bai Aoxue still couldn’t help asking.

Zhao was shocked when he heard Bai Aoxue’s words. To be honest, he didn’t think so much.

However, after Bai Aoxue said like this, he also felt that it was still somewhat possible.

“But no army has ever dared to leave their posts without permission, and the border between Nanyue Dynasty and Mountain Qing is very important. Those soldiers will not be so stupid to do such a thing.” Zhao thought for a moment and denied Bai Aoxue’s thought.

Bai Aoxue also felt that Zhao’s words were somewhat reasonable, but she always felt that there was something wrong.

“Maybe… Jun Wuhen’s soldiers who stayed at the border of Mountain Qing are just a kind of illusion to deceive others?” Bai Aoxue said lightly.

Zhao looked at Bai Aoxue confusedly.

“There must be soldiers at the border between Mountain Qing and Nanyu Dynasty, but since Nanyu Dynasty and Chengxi Dynasty have not harassed each other for many years, Jun Wuhen sends a group of soldiers to Mountain Qing to rob caravans from various countries. This is also why he ignored the robbers in Mountain Qing.” Bai Aoxue carefully dispelled Zhao’s doubts.

“Do you think it is possible?” Bai Aoxue asked again and looked at Zhao who was thinking.

Zhao listened to Bai Aoxue’s words and thought about Jun Wuhen’s attitude towards Mountain Qing. He also felt that it was possible. But wasn’t Jun Wuhen afraid that this thing would be exposed?

“The secret passage you mentioned connects the back of the Mountain Qing from here, so the back of the Mountain Qing is not far away from the border between Nanyue Dynasty and Mountain Qing, right?” Bai Aoxue was almost sure absolutely in her mind.

“Yes. Of course, it’s not far away by walking through a secret passage indeed.” An indifferent and low-pitched male voice sounded. Bai Aoxue and Zhao looked at the door at the same time.
