Chapter 2595: Chapter 2596: Trouble at the Posthouse

A black shadow rushed onto Bai Ruozhu, too fast to dodge, and Bai Ruozhu spat out a mouthful of blood, her body falling backward.

”Ruozhu, are you alright?” Jiang Yichun hurriedly supported her, holding her protectively in his arms.

Wu Yunfeng’s body shot out explosively, quickly rushing toward the cave not far away.

Bai Ruozhu coughed out some blood, ”He actually recovered so quickly, this person must not be allowed to stay...”

She said as her vision turned black, and she lost consciousness.

”Ruozhu! Ruozhu!” Jiang Yichun called out anxiously.

Gao Zhou quickly took Bai Ruozhu’s pulse, his face grave as he said, ”Poisoned by a poisonous insect.”

They were careless!

But how did Wu Yunfeng manage to break free despite being poisoned by Bai Ruozhu and having his acupoints blocked?

Gao Zhou muttered, ”I’ve heard some poisonous insects can reverse a person’s meridians; he must have used this method to unblock his acupoints without us noticing.”

The astrologer led Qiu Zhi and others in pursuit, while Jiang Yichun, Gao Zhou, and Yuan Licheng stayed behind to protect Bai Ruozhu and the other two injured people.

Bai Ruozhu’s face was deathly pale, and Jiang Yichun held her in his arms with a pained heart, ”It was my fault for not protecting her well. I should have been the one to interrogate, shouldn’t have let her get so close.”

Gao Zhou patted Jiang Yichun’s shoulder and said, ”Don’t worry, Ruozhu is full of treasures, she knows many ways to save herself, she’ll be fine.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a white bug flew out of nowhere, looking like a caterpillar but with a pair of transparent wings. It flapped its wings and landed on Bai Ruozhu’s shoulder.

Fo Lanying quickly moved to block it, but Yizi hurriedly pulled her back, ”It’s the master’s pet.”

Fo Lanying breathed a sigh of relief and saw the fluffy little bug somehow burrow into Bai Ruozhu’s collar, making Fo Lanying instinctively feel itchy.

Soon, in just a few moments, the little furball flew out again, throwing the corpse of a poisonous insect to the ground.

Jiang Yichun breathed a huge sigh of relief and said to the little furball, ”Thank you, Ruozhu said you got a pair of wings, they look quite nice.”

He spoke to a bug, which was rather strange, but the little furball understood, somersaulting, rolling in the air, and acting cute, clearly enjoying Jiang Yichun’s praise.

Fo Lanying was amazed, ”Ruozhu does have a lot of good things.”

At this time, Bai Ruozhu slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurred, and it took a while before she could see clearly.

”Where is Wu Yunfeng? Was he caught?” she asked anxiously.

”The astrologer and the others went after him, but don’t think too much now, focus on recuperating.” Jiang Yichun quickly advised.

Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth, ”We can’t let him get away!”

The little furball then landed on Bai Ruozhu’s palm, demanding praise in a cute manner again, and Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh, turning to Jiang Yichun and saying, ”It says you praised it, it’s the first time you did, and it’s very happy.”

Jiang Yichun smiled awkwardly, ”I haven’t praised it before?”

”It can talk to you?” Fo Lanying was curious, ”It’s a poisonous insect too, but why isn’t it scary at all, and instead quite cute?”

Bai Ruozhu slowly explained, ”Poisonous insects are divided into evil and good ones. Not all are used to harm people; good ones can save lives, help enhance physical strength, and even have special ones to aid in longevity. In Miaojiang, those who raise evil insects often die young, but those who raise good ones tend to be very long-lived and healthy. Good insects are just harder to raise and not as powerful as evil ones, so some who seek power choose evil insects.”

”I didn’t know there were such secrets. Wu Yunfeng raised evil ones, he’ll surely meet a bad end!” Fo Lanying said angrily.

Bai Ruozhu took a few pills, her poisonous insect poison had been devoured by the little furball, only some internal injuries remained, which would heal in a few days.

”Little furball, check if they have any remnants of poison, help clear it out.” Bai Ruozhu pointed to the unconscious Ning Yu and Diao Bin nearby.

The little furball flew over and bit both of them separately, quickly flying back to Bai Ruozhu’s shoulder.

”Already cleaned up? You’re going to sleep again? Then go quickly.” Bai Ruozhu felt helpless; it indeed had multiple uses but needed to sleep now and then, with a cooldown period for big skills, otherwise it would give her more assurance.

At this moment, the astrologer and others came out of the cave, disappointed.

”Escaped?” Gao Zhou asked.

The astrologer said with a somber face, ”There’s another exit at the back of this cave, he went out that way, and by the time we discovered it, he had already entered the other side of the mountain, making it hard to find.”

Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth, ”I was careless, or I wouldn’t have let him escape.”

”It’s okay, I’ll use the star plate to trade, but when we caught him earlier, he didn’t have the star plate, and we didn’t find it after searching the cave, indicating that he hid it in the cave beforehand and went inside to retrieve it.”

The astrologer continued, ”As long as he has the star plate, I can calculate his location.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but now wasn’t a good time to pursue, Ning Yu and Diao Bin needed treatment, and Bai Ruozhu also needed a few days to recuperate.

The group discussed and returned to Kyoto.

The spy at the City Gate was dead, and nothing could be extracted, but the mention of Wu Yunfeng controlling Empress Yazi and Prince Wen De sent chills down their spines.

”Maybe he was already awake, saying it deliberately to confuse us.” Tang Feng said.

”That’s possible, I don’t even know how long my medicine controlled him.” Bai Ruozhu sighed, encountering this situation for the first time, she had been truly careless.

Gao Zhou nonchalantly said, ”What do we care about the Fusang Royal Family? Let them be controlled, couldn’t care less.”

Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and said, ”I don’t want to meddle in the mess of the Fusang Royal Family, but I really don’t want Wu Yunfeng to control Fusang, that would be too easy for him.”

She still had some friends in Fusang and didn’t want to see them fall into danger.

Jiang Yichun patted her shoulder, ”Don’t think too much now, rest well, and we’ll bring the little furball to the Palace when it wakes up.”

The group entered Kyoto, avoiding appearing together on the main street, instead taking a detour back to the Posthouse, not expecting Sa Tian nearby in an alley, who upon seeing them, rushed over anxiously saying, ”You’re back, don’t go in, something’s happened!”

”What happened?” Jiang Yichun asked.

”Earlier, an assassin entered the Palace to assassinate, and the guards pursued him, but the assassin escaped into the Posthouse, and the guards entered it to search...”
