Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 379 Obeying the Will
"Aren't you mainly dealing in silk and tea? Why are you starting a medicine business again?" Du Ming asked.

Jiang Wanning replied cautiously: "Back to Your Highness, Mr. Wen said that there is a shortage of medicinal materials here. After discussing with Mr. Su Zhe, he will send a batch over first."

"Well, Dayuan is indeed short of medicinal materials. I will get some carts of medicinal materials for me later."

"It's a great honor to serve His Highness. Whatever medicinal materials His Highness needs, just write an order to Mr. Wen later. We can supply as much as you need."

Du Ming laughed: "I heard that your boss is Dr. Jiang. She does business with Dayuan. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about?"

Jiang Wanning said: "Daqi and Dayuan are still trading with each other. We are doing business seriously, and we are not reselling controlled materials. Those who gossip are jealous. There is no way for others to want to do it!"

Du Ming laughed loudly: "You do know how to talk. What's your name?"

"Back to Your Highness, the younger one's name is Jiang An."

"Jiang An, are you also a member of the Jiang family?"

"Back to Your Highness, the younger one's father is a servant of the Jiang family. He is highly regarded by his employer and takes the Jiang family's surname."

"That's it, okay, let's withdraw." Du Ming waved his hand and left.

"Your Highness, wait a moment." Jiang Wanning ran back to the tent and brought out a bottle of wine.

"Your Highness, this is the wine made by our great master. Your Highness, have a drink and see. If you like it, I will bring more next time to honor Your Highness."

Du Ming motioned to his men to take the wine bottle.

"It seems that you Jiang Ji people are very good at doing business." Everyone is very knowledgeable.

Du Ming and others came and left quickly, and the sound of horse hooves quickly disappeared into the vast night.

Tudor breathed a sigh of relief: "It scared me to death. How could you be so calm and still answer fluently to my Fourth Prince brother?"

"It turns out he is your Fourth Prince brother. He looks more majestic than you."

Tudor rolled his eyes at her: "What's so majestic? He's just a warrior."

Xiao Pan came to call Jiang Wan Ning: "Sir, the old housekeeper asked you to come over."

In front of Tudor, the identity of Taoist Wugou needs to be concealed, so everyone calls him the steward of the elder Wugou.

Jiang Wan Ning nodded and said to Tudor, "Go to bed quickly."

Jiang Wan Ning went to see the master.

"Master, you are looking for me."

Wugou said: "It seems that they have received the news that Tudor is dead. We must get to Uda as soon as possible."

"Well, I was negligent. I forgot that they have the habit of raising falcons. I wanted to make a time difference, so I became urgent and speeded up tomorrow."

Wugou said: "You also need to plan well. What should we do if Gubei can't withstand the pressure and leaks the stuffing? It's hard to find a place to hide on this grassland."

Jiang Wan Ning's expression was solemn. Based on the speed at which the Fourth Prince was traveling, he would probably arrive at Gubei tomorrow evening. If the trap was missed, the Eldest Prince would get the news the morning after tomorrow, and a strict search would be carried out. And it would take them two more days to reach Ouda.

"How about we set off immediately and travel day and night?"

Wugou said: "You have also been in Gubei, so you should be familiar with the situation in the grasslands. It is easy to encounter wolves when traveling at night. We can handle a small group, but a large group of wolves is better than a large Yuan with hundreds of people." The cavalry is still scary.”

Jiang Wanning was frightened when she thought of the wolves wandering around the camp last night. Indeed, they could not travel at night. There were only a few of them. Unlike the Fourth Prince, the thousands of cavalry were so powerful that the wolves had to move around when they saw them.

"Otherwise, let Xiao Pan ride ahead tomorrow and notify Mr. Wen to send someone to meet him."

Wugou said: "It's safer this way. We just prepare for the worst first. Things may not be that bad."

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Xiao Pan set off, and the caravan also accelerated. In the evening, Du Ming led his troops into Gubei City and went straight to the general's mansion.

The informants around the General's Mansion reported: "There are people watching the main entrance and side doors, and there are people patrolling from time to time. No Daqi people were found to enter. However, yesterday morning, the entourage around the Sixth Prince went to invite the doctor in the city, and the doctor and the others questioned him. After that, he said that the Sixth Prince couldn’t do it anymore.”

Du Ming's heart dropped a lot. Whether Tudor was really dead or not, he had to see it with his own eyes. This is what Brother Wang specially said: you must see people when you are alive, and you must see corpses when you die.

When Du Ming entered the General's Mansion, the guards of the General's Mansion handed him a white cloth.

Du Ming said angrily: "Get off."

He didn't wear filial piety until he was really sure whether Tudor was dead or not.

Du Ming strode inside and saw white lanterns hanging everywhere in the general's mansion, and the prestigious plaque in the main hall was also covered with white silk flowers.

Walking in, there was a mourning hall, but there was no coffin.

"Where is the body of His Highness Sixth Prince?"

"Back to Your Highness, in the backyard, Princess Reguna is burning the body of the sixth prince."

"What?" Du Ming was furious.

"How dare she burn my sixth brother's body?"

This is an act of great disrespect to the deceased in Dayuan, and Reguna's move is very suspicious.

Du Ming immediately rushed to the backyard.

The open space in the backyard was filled with firewood. A person was lying in the middle of the firewood, and the fire was already lit.

The fire was raging, and it was impossible to see the person's appearance clearly.

"Reguna, what are you doing here? Put out the fire quickly." Du Ming said loudly.

Du Ming's men immediately stepped forward to put out the fire.

Reguna stopped: "Let's see who dares."

"Reguna, get out of the way." Du Ming glared at Reguna. If Reguna's uncle hadn't been armed with heavy weapons, he would have killed her right now.

"Burning the body is the sixth prince's order. I didn't want to follow it, but..."

Reguna looked at Sang Zhi: "Sang Zhi, bring the things here."

Sang Zhi brought a box over and opened it in front of Prince Du Ming.

Du Ming saw many red thread-like things in the box.

"When the Sixth Prince died, he no longer looked like a human being. He was as thin as a skeleton. He always paid most attention to his appearance and appearance. He couldn't bear to look like this, and he didn't want others to see him. Therefore, I was asked to burn his body, but I still wanted to take his body back to the Uda Palace so that the Khan and the princess could see him for the last time, but something strange happened. "

"After the sixth prince died, these things crawled out of his seven orifices. Fourth prince, you can't imagine how terrifying that scene was. I don't think the sixth prince was sick. He must have been under witchcraft."

Du Ming was horrified: "Did these things crawl out of Tudor's seven orifices?"

With tears in her eyes, Reguna said with a lingering fear in retrospect: "Yes, these bugs died after crawling out, but if you put them into the water, they will squirm again after a while."

Sang Zhi asked someone to bring a bucket of water and poured the red silk in the box into the water. After a while, the red silk came back to life and turned into thin red worms, densely packed and squirming.

Du Ming felt his stomach churn, and he was so sick that he almost vomited.

He looked up at the body in the fire. The body had been engulfed in flames, and it was too late to put out the fire.
