Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1186: Chapter 853: Drunk on Dreams, Wishing for Death?

Picked up the pearl and jade jewelry scattered all over the ground, one by one, and put them into a brocade bag carried personally.

After picking them clean, Diao Chan stood up, patted the dust off the hem of her clothes, and looked at the brocade bag in her hand with a mischievous smile, ”This brocade bag must be handed over to Princess Nian! The pearl and jade jewelry on Master Lou is worth a fortune, each one unique! Of course, that’s not the point, the point is, when Princess Nian sees these jewels... hehe...”

Diao Chan, who came from a military background and mingled with some boorish Great Generals all day, had a lewd smile on her face.

The key is, when Princess Nian sees the contents of this brocade bag, she will know that everything that just happened wasn’t a dream!

Self-deception or something, let’s skip that!

Princess Nian, indeed, touched Master Lou’s... there...

Ha ha...

Waving the brocade bag in her hand, Diao Chan’s smile was full of ripples, and she considered it a contribution. Surely Princess Nian wouldn’t be able to free her mind from worrying about the North Mongolia Royal City when seeing this brocade bag. Worrying now is pointless; it’s a stalemate; patience is what counts...

”You see, pressed down, sat on, even personally checked the goods, Princess Nian ran away, Master Lou also fled, do these two want to play a game of no meeting between kings? I don’t believe it! They will definitely meet again! Hehe...” Diao Chan muttered wickedly to herself, with a look of schadenfreude, as she walked toward the City Lord’s Mansion gate, ”When these two meet again, there will be a good show to watch, haha, I can’t wait just thinking about it!”

The onlookers from Linyuan City, having quenched their thirst for spectacle, left somewhat reluctantly now that there was no more drama to watch.

Only a crescent moon in the sky remained, casting flickering, indistinct light upon the world, as if a pair of eyes, blinking and watching all the dramas of human life...

...

Meanwhile...

On an official road from Xunyang City to Linyuan City, in a team galloping swiftly on horseback, the leading person suddenly reined in her horse.

”Whoa!”

The horse neighed while rearing, the person on it wearing a veil, but her body exuded a palpable ominous energy.

”Miss?” The girl He Miao saw this, immediately rode forward, and asked respectfully.

The leader, hidden under a wide black robe, was nonetheless recognizable as a female figure.

It was none other than Fufeng Tianlan!

Fufeng Tianlan narrowed her slim eyes into a sharp arc, gripped the reins tightly with small hands, and spoke in a sinister tone, ”I’ve thought about it and cannot let it go like this. Gu Changsheng, that wretch, caused me to lose the informers in Liaodong. If I just let it go, wouldn’t it be too easy for that wretch?”

”Miss, but Commander Duo Ao has already perished, taking further action would mean mobilizing... and that would certainly alarm the Wolf King Holy Master!” He Miao expressed her concern, a trace of anxiety in her eyes.

”Alarm my imperial brother? Duo Ao was one of my imperial brother’s confidants; his death already shattered the wolf token, surely alarming my imperial brother no matter what!” Fufeng Tianlan turned her horse, looking darkly at the dozen or so people following her.

The team was eerily silent, as if they didn’t exist, were it not for being in plain sight.

Apart from the rough breathing of the horses and the sound of hooves, the dozen or so people in black on horseback didn’t emit any breaths, like dead people!

”But what have I to fear, alarming my imperial brother? I hold sway over the Goddess Palace; my imperial brother long allowed me to act with discretion. My deep hatred for Gu Changsheng is known to him, whatever I do is reasonable, so he couldn’t say no!” Fufeng Tianlan’s sinister and low voice spoke.

On hearing this, He Miao became even more anxious, ”Miss... this... might ruin the big picture! Failing to endure small losses disrupts the greater plan, we should act cautiously, wait until Gu Changsheng enters North Mongolia or steps into the Far North before considering action!”

Fufeng Tianlan remained unmoved.

”Miss, after all, Liaodong is the domain of Dowager Empress Xiao. Moreover, Dowager Empress Xiao is still in Liaodong; without mobilizing... we cannot exploit them easily, risking loss of soldiers and generals, which is unwise! Please reconsider!” He Miao urged anxiously.

Knowing her mistress’s deep hatred for Gu Changsheng, He Miao understood it clearly since she entered the Goddess Palace. However, letting her mistress continue like this was unsustainable, one careless move could ruin the millennia of strategy in Sand Sea!

No one among the people of Sand Sea, regardless of who they are, could bear this responsibility!

As Fufeng Tianlan’s attendant and Wolf Girl, neither could He Miao!

It’s not that I can’t bear it, I’m just at the forefront. If something really happens, I’ll definitely be the first sacrifice to the Goddess!

So, how could I not be anxious?

Hearing He Miao’s words, Fufeng Tianlan turned her head and gave her a cold glance, her voice difficult to conceal her dissatisfaction and disdain, ”In your eyes, am I someone who doesn’t understand the big picture and ignores the overall situation?”

”This servant deserves death! That’s not what I meant, this servant...” He Miao’s face changed immediately upon hearing this, flipping over and jumping off the horse, trembling and crouching on the ground, kneeling and apologizing.

”Hmph! I’d like to see you dare mean that! Remember your status, what I decide to do is not for you to question!” Fufeng Tianlan snorted coldly, her voice full of disdain and contempt, with an entirely superior and arrogant demeanor.

”Yes! This servant will remember!” He Miao replied in trepidation.

”Get up!” Fufeng Tianlan gave her a condescending look, her gaze swept towards the dozens of solemn attendants in black standing ahead, and she spoke in a deep voice, ”How could I disregard the thousand-year scheme of my Sandy Sea Wolf Tribe? It’s just that Gu Changsheng is my sworn enemy, utterly irreconcilable. I can’t stand to see her have smooth sailing in everything!”

”Miss, once that bitch steps into the Far North Land, whether to kill or slaughter her will be entirely in your hands,” He Miao said flattering as she got up from the ground.

”Hmph! Even knowing that, I still can’t wait to teach that bitch a lesson!” Fufeng Tianlan’s eyes flashed with a cold light, speaking in a deep voice, ”If she has smooth sailing, how will I be happy?”

”I want her to encounter obstacles at every turn, slowly experiencing the confusion and panic of death approaching!”

”Yes, Miss is right!” He Miao, frightened by Fufeng Tianlan, no longer dared to stop her.

This Miss’s methods, she had seen them!

She truly kills without blinking, showing no regard for old ties! Cold-blooded and ruthless!

”Youming Xiying!”

Fufeng Tianlan was very pleased with He Miao’s flattery, though the face behind the veil remained sinister, and she called out sharply to the attendant team.

In the next instant, a shadow appeared before Fufeng Tianlan’s horse.

Kneeling, head lowered, silent and unnoticeable, as if nonexistent.

”Youming Xiying, I command you to return to Xunyang City, to give Gu Changsheng that bitch some trouble, and to deliver a lavish gift to the Old Devout Woman of the Dowager Empress Xiao! Those who dare to help Gu Changsheng the bitch are all my enemies, and I will make sure she suffers!”

Fufeng Tianlan looked at the kneeling black figure, her voice icy, as if crawling out of Hell, carrying an aura of cold killing intent.

”Miss, Youming is your Secret Guard, if you send him out, you’ll have one less person by your side...” He Miao immediately voiced her concern, but her following words gradually faded, ultimately disappearing, under Fufeng Tianlan’s cold gaze...

”Hmph!”

Fufeng Tianlan snorted coldly, and He Miao immediately shivered, quickly changing her tone, flattering, ”Miss, Youming is the Secret Guard, he only knows how to carry out orders, but does not know what mission you are sending him to Xunyang City for?”

Upon hearing this, Fufeng Tianlan’s narrow eyes immediately squinted dangerously, the corners of her mouth hooking into a cruel and bloodthirsty smile, speaking casually, ”Xunyang City, Guo Family, isn’t the Guo Family most adept at brewing?”

Upon hearing this, He Miao’s face changed drastically, her heart skipped a beat, her face also flashing a look of uncertainty.

”I heard that Xunyang Huadiao Wine originates from the Guo Family, Huadiao Wine is famous for being strong, this strong wine is a good thing! It can make one drunk and lose oneself, or make life worse than death!” As Fufeng Tianlan spoke, the bloodthirsty smile on her face became more apparent, the night wind lifting a corner of her veil, faintly revealing her slightly scary smile, like a Mandara Flower blooming in Hell, enchanting and eerie, sending chills down one’s spine...

”Didn’t the Old Devout Woman Dowager Empress Xiao help Gu Changsheng that bitch? Didn’t they kill Duo Ao and those subordinates? Then let Xunyang City be buried with them! Youming Xiying, do you understand what I mean? Hmm?” Fufeng Tianlan said, her body leaning slightly forward, the corners of her mouth curling into a bloodthirsty arc.

The black figure kneeling on the ground nodded almost imperceptibly.

”Then go! On my journey north, I await the good news of you completing your mission!” Seeing this, Fufeng Tianlan waved her hand lightly at the figure on the ground, speaking with relief.

Before the horse, a shadow flashed and vanished, blending into the pitch-black night like a ghost, gone in the blink of an eye.

Watching Youming Xiying who left to carry out her orders, He Miao furrowed her brows slightly, looking worriedly at her Miss, ”Miss, if Youming makes a move, there will surely be no mistakes, but if it really goes like that... what if Gu Changsheng that bitch also dies in Xunyang City? Gu Changsheng the bitch still has some value to us, we’re still counting on her to find the long-lost Supreme Treasure of the Sandy Sea, if she...”
