Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1828: Chapter 1828: We’re Not Short on People

At this time, Gao Zhou and Luan also realized they were poisoned. They could only sit cross-legged and meditate to resist the onset of the poison, but they gradually felt their limbs become soft and weak, greatly surprised by Bai Ruozhu’s poisoning skills.

In fact, Bai Ruozhu’s poison was more of a bluff. It was something she had improved based on Master Hao Feng’s poison stone; it takes effect quickly and works even on those with deep inner strength but lasts a very short time, suitable for buying time to escape.

”Did you think I was just a pregnant woman with no skills?” Bai Ruozhu said coldly, ”Or are you too confident, thinking nothing could go wrong? Sangdian can use a thousand people’s blood sacrifice, showing how important this matter is. Can you truly break that Evil Technique easily? I remember the Medical Sage said a ritual must be performed nearby, right?”

”What if the situation changes and the Evil Technique cannot be broken? What’s the plan for retreat?” She sighed deeply, ”I know you’re all worried about me, fine, I’ll relieve the poison for you.”

She calculated the time and waved her hand, soon Gao Zhou and Luan found the poison had dissipated.

”If I go, there’s at least more assurance, and in the worst scenario, I can poison Sangdian and force him to release people. Now that I’ve caught you acting privately, I won’t back down. If you insist on doing this, I can still take my people to the Barbarian Clan. By then, if we don’t act together and spread our forces, it could be twice the effort with half the result.”

After she finished speaking, she turned to Jianqi and said, ”Jianqi, get the people below to pack things, we’re setting off tonight!”

Gao Zhou felt a headache, covering his forehead, ”Ruozhu, can’t you trust us this once? We promise to bring Jiang Yichun back!”

”It’s not that I don’t trust you, if I don’t do something, I won’t feel at ease with myself. So I just sit at home and overthink. I would rather charge forward with you, of course, I’ll protect myself well, my aunt and uncle will also accompany me to protect me. The previous generation should know the skills of the Jiuli people, right?”

This time, Luan was surprised, ”Jiuli people?”

”Yes, we are from the Jiuli Clan.” Jiao Ling’s voice came from outside the courtyard, she walked in with Fen Jiu and casually threw a ring to the ground, which transformed into a Mechanical Snake suddenly attacking Gao Zhou.

Gao Zhou remembered when his mask was torn last time, he quickly dodged, tossing the Mechanical Snake aside.

”Aunt, don’t act.” Bai Ruozhu hurriedly persuaded, then walked over to hold Jiao Ling’s arm, ”Forcing things won’t work, if they don’t go with us, we can go alone, we aren’t short on people.”

Jiao Ling nodded, ”Yes, Aunt stands by your side.”

Fen Jiu chuckled as he approached, ”Uncle also stands by your side.”

Jiao Ling secretly gave him a glare; if not for the crowd, she would have ridiculed him a bit, why always act foolishly in front of the younger ones? Aren’t you afraid they’ll laugh at you?

Bai Ruozhu nodded emotionally, ”Thank you aunt, uncle!”

Gao Zhou and Luan exchanged a look, showing helplessness. Gao Zhou tentatively asked, ”What do we do now? It’s already like this, seems we can’t escape.”

Luan glanced at Bai Ruozhu, saying, ”Since it’s like this, Bai, pack up, let’s set out together. I’ll take this time to report to the Palace.”

Not only to report that she’s going to the Barbarian Clan but also to report her relatives are Jiuli people.

These years, Jiuli people appear rarely outside, so Bai Ruozhu didn’t understand them at all. But since recognizing her aunt, Bai Ruozhu grew curious about Jiuli and secretly researched them well.

The Jiuli Clan’s rules are to avoid the world, but every clan member is outstanding, they could be called the pride of heaven. During the most active years of the Jiuli people outside, many nobles were willing to associate with them, even just to see their magical mechanical items. However, no one dared impersonate a Jiuli person, as those who did met miserable ends. Jiuli people don’t allow outsiders to use their name to seek false glory.

Moreover, the Jiuli people do not involve themselves in the politics of any country, but now the world is chaotic, who knows?

But Bai Ruozhu is determined not to let her aunt and uncle get involved in the court affairs; she won’t make things difficult for them.

Soon, Luan left, while Gao Zhou awkwardly stood to one side. Bai Ruozhu ignored him and talked with Jiao Ling and Fen Jiu.

”Aunt, I’ll go tell my parents, I didn’t expect to leave earlier.” Bai Ruozhu said.

”I’ll accompany you over, it’s a good chance to say goodbye to your parents.” Jiao Ling said.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at Gao Zhou, thinking he finally wanted to speak, immediately put on a smile, but Bai Ruozhu’s sight shifted to Fen Jiu, ”Uncle, please keep watch here to prevent anyone from escaping.”

Gao Zhou’s face immediately collapsed, ”I really won’t run this time, didn’t I promise you already?”

Bai Ruozhu also didn’t look at him, saying lightly, ”Someone once promised me too, but didn’t they still betray?”

Jiao Ling couldn’t help but laugh, pulling Bai Ruozhu’s arm, ”You girl hold grudges, don’t you?”

Bai Ruozhu snorted, ”Aunt, let’s go!”

Fen Jiu was particularly happy hearing Bai Ruozhu call him ”Uncle,” his big eyes were tightly locked on Gao Zhou as if guarding a thief, almost making Gao Zhou wish to fight him.

Just as Bai Ruozhu and Jiao Ling took a few steps, Gai Yalai suddenly woke up from where she had been thrown aside, her sleeping acupoint pressed.

”Ah...” A scream echoed through the sky, ”Help! Thieves are trying to catch me!”

Jiao Ling moved quickly, flashing over to press Gai Yalai’s mute acupoint, saying to her, ”Stop shouting. We’re going to save your son; we need blood from a close relative. If you care about your son’s life or death, behave and don’t cause more trouble.”

Gai Yalai couldn’t speak, just stared with wide eyes, seemingly very unwilling. Jiao Ling looked at her with disdain, thinking a mother like her was too selfish, compared to Ruozhu she’s embarrassing, no wonder her son isn’t close to her.

Bai Ruozhu didn’t want to waste time with Gai Yalai. Since her aunt had spoken, she didn’t want to converse with Gai Yalai, holding her aunt’s hand, heading out.

Bidding farewell to her parents and brother inevitably brought some sorrow, but fortunately, her dad and mom agreed to her going, no longer opposing.

She particularly instructed Guoguo to pay more attention to Lin Ping’er’s health, ensuring her mother stabilizes the pregnancy.

”Master, rest assured, Bai grandma has a strong constitution, there will be no problem.” Little Guoguo has learned to comfort people too.

Then Bai Ruozhu went to bid farewell to Little Dengdeng. As the child grew older, leaving without a word would make him sadder.

However, this time Little Dengdeng was very emotional, ”I’m a grown man now, I want to save dad too!”
