Chapter 43: Blocking the Road
"What a pity?" Zhao Lin asked.
Yun Keyu said: "I won't be able to see Brother Mo Ying and Sister Yin for a while..."
This was a very common sentence, but Zhao Lin did not feel comfortable listening to it, so he changed the subject: "Miss Yin, do you think it could be poisoning caused by other reasons?"
"According to my speculation, your majesty's poisoning is probably related to these two tonic soups." Yin Ruchen said.
Chapter 20
Although the complicated personnel situation in the court made it difficult to investigate the matter about Feng Yuyi, some people who had the opportunity to learn about it did try their best. Zhao Lin secretly promised a huge reward to his confidants, which doubled the interest of some of them. Some of them even risked their lives to investigate in order to get the reward promised by Zhao Lin and Zhao Lin's trust in them. The more the King Jingyin was ill, the more they felt that pleasing Zhao Lin was their future way out. Once Zhao Lin ascended the throne, it would be easier for them to be promoted. And there were also people in the court who tried their best to investigate for no reward or official title. Among them were not only loyal and righteous people who had fought side by side with King Jingyin on the battlefield, but also honest and upright people who served the country loyally, worked tirelessly and worked hard for the people of the world. No matter what their purpose was, in three days, they had investigated the residence of Feng Yuyi and some other information.
So, Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying left the palace with the map drawn by Zhao Lin, sufficient food and water, and other things that might be used.
The map showed that Imperial Physician Feng lived in Zigui Village, so the two of them galloped towards the southeast.
Just after noon on the second day after leaving the palace, they crossed the Xihan Bridge. Seeing the steep terrain ahead, they tied their horses to the bridgehead and went forward to see if there was any other way to go.
Suddenly, five burly men jumped out in front of them to block the way. Each of them held the same strange weapon. The weapon was called the Death Blowing Fire Hammer. It had a long handle at the bottom and a round ball at the top. There was a mouth on the ball with a sharp blade on the edge of the mouth. The sharp blade was covered with thorns. There were several metal blades on the rod extending from the junction of the ball and the handle. There were two holes near the blades, and the sharp swords could be ejected at any time. The bearded man in the middle was called Wei Gui, also known as the Bearded Ghost. When he saw Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying, he shouted, "You bold youngsters, how dare you trespass into the Leopard Wolf Village! I will make sure you never come back!" As they spoke, the five men swung the blow-fire hammers together, and tongues of fire spurted out from the mouth of the hammers.
Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying dodged the flames while explaining: "We didn't mean to break into your village..." "We just wanted to see if there were other ways to..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Before they could finish explaining, Wei Gui shouted, "Brothers, seal it!"
Five big men leaped into the air and jumped behind Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying, blocking their way.
Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying immediately turned around to fight, and retreated along the mountain road, dodging while looking around for any chance of escape.
As Yan Moying was practicing, he suddenly found that his power was much stronger than before, thanks to the antidote for Sibiwang that Yin Ruchen gave him in the cave. For ordinary people, the antidote for Sibiwang only had the effect of detoxification, but for those who had practiced Guyuegong, it could not only completely eliminate the poison, but also help improve internal strength. However, this could only be felt when practicing against the enemy after taking the medicine for a few days.
