I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 334 Captured a Monster

Jiang Yao shook her head, offering no explanation.

Chu Liuzheng: "..."

[Don't be afraid to say half a sentence or you'll end up as a eunuch... no, I mean, bald!]

Jiang Yao remained resolute and kept silent no matter how Chu Liuzheng asked her.

Chu Liuzheng could threaten her with the information he found in the system, but given Jiang Yao's personality, threats were clearly not a good approach.

We'll need our junior sister's help to capture Yin Lanci. Let's try to cooperate and achieve a win-win situation. We'll ask again later.

Chu Liuzheng took a breath, suppressing his curiosity, and steered the conversation back on track, asking, "Are there other people like Wu Mian in Longkou Town?"

Jiang Yao did not answer.

Chu Liuzheng observed her expression: "Should we still tell the young master?"

Jiang Yao nodded.

[Fine, I guess I'm just a nobody who doesn't deserve it.]

Chu Liuzheng thought for a moment and asked one last question: "You spent the night in the woods last night, did you hear any whistles?"

"A whistle?" A clear look of doubt appeared on Jiang Yao's face.

Seeing this, Chu Liuzheng asked in surprise, "Didn't you hear me?"

"No." Jiang Yao frowned slightly. "What kind of whistle?"

Chu Liuzheng didn't hear him again, so he could only say, "I'll have someone else describe it to you in a bit."

Jiang Yao asked, "Were they the two people who were following Wu Mian?"

Chu Liuzheng was even more surprised: "You knew someone was following you?"

“One of them wasn’t hidden properly.” Jiang Yao recalled the scene from last night. “I thought it was someone from the government and didn’t want to cause trouble.”

[Tsk, it must be Doctor Feng who didn't hide it well. Chen Xing is a trainee under the Dark Guard; concealing his presence is just the beginning of his training. Seriously though, both Chen Xing and Doctor Feng are on the Tyrant's side, so they're definitely government officials.]

Chu Liuzheng frowned slightly. After talking with Jiang Yao, she found that things were somewhat different from what she had found in the system.

Could it be that she didn't get to see the whole melon again?
Thinking about this possibility, she decided to take some time later to browse the system again.

"You rest for a while, I'll have someone go and inform the young master."

Jiang Yao glanced at her, then slowly closed her eyes. Her white hair swayed slightly with the carriage, occasionally flashing with silver light.

Chu Liuzheng thought that she must be thirsty after talking so much, so he planned to feed her water. But looking at the blackened silver hairpin, he didn't dare to touch her. After hesitating for a while, he gave up.

She got up, lifted the curtain at the car door, and poked her head out: "Chenxing, go and inform the young master that Abbot Jiang wishes to see him."

"Okay." Chen Xing wiped the crumbs from his mouth, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and used his lightness skill to dash forward.

“She’s dangerous.” Mitsuki held the reins in one hand and reached out to Chu Liuzheng with the other.

Chu Liuzheng skillfully handed over his wrist, watching her take his pulse.

"how?"

Siyue frowned slightly: "He's been poisoned."

Chu Liuzheng: !!!

[Frog! I didn't even touch my junior sister, how did I get poisoned?]

Since Siyue didn't have the antidote with her, she called out to Feng Jing and asked him to take a look at Chu Liuzheng.

"It's just a little corpse poison, it's nothing serious." Feng Jing withdrew his hand and glanced into the carriage. "It's inconvenient to travel, so take one of the pills I just gave you. I'll make the antidote when we get to the inn."

Corpse poison and the like sound incredibly vicious.

Chu Liuzheng quickly took out the porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, put it in his mouth, but didn't dare to chew it. He then drank water to wash it down.

Even so, it was so bitter that my mouth felt numb.

The medicine made by the miracle doctor was truly a challenge to the limits of the taste buds; after trying it once, I never wanted to eat it a second time. "Dr. Feng, can I discuss something with you?" Chu Liuzheng moved his tongue, feeling that he was speaking somewhat incoherently.

Feng Jing was very easy to talk to, and nodded to signal her to speak.

Chu Liuzheng pointed to the carriage with his finger: "Could you sit in the carriage for a while and keep an eye on her for me?"

[I got infected with corpse poison without even touching her. If I had been riding in the same carriage with my junior sister all this time, wouldn't I have been on my way to meet the King of Hell?]

Having been given a second chance at life, Chu Liuzheng cherishes his life greatly. With a divine physician by his side, why not make the most of it?

Siyue volunteered, "I can go in and keep watch."

"I'll go," Feng Jing said, dismounting. "Liu Zheng can't ride a horse, do you expect her to drive a carriage?"

Siyue looked at Chu Liuzheng, who gave a dry laugh; she really didn't know how.

In the fourth month, they had no choice but to stop the carriage and wait for Feng Jing to come up.

Feng Jing's horse spontaneously followed beside the carriage, and a guard came over to take the reins and led it forward.

"Siyue, can you teach me how to drive a carriage?" Chu Liuzheng felt that she probably couldn't learn to ride a horse, but she could learn to drive a carriage, which didn't seem too difficult.

"Okay." Siyue made room for her and was about to teach her when she suddenly saw the procession ahead stop and a black horse turn around and gallop over. It was Xiao Jingfan's Black Frost.

They were in front of me in the blink of an eye.

Chu Liuzheng assumed that Xiao Jingfan had come to see Jiang Yao and was about to remind Xiao Jingfan to avoid contact with Jiang Yao to prevent poisoning, but Xiao Jingfan did not dismount at all.

He sat upright on his horse, his right hand gripping the reins. The veins on the back of his hand bulged slightly from the force of his grip. His long, narrow, and deep eyes scrutinized her, as if trying to confirm something.

What is the tyrant looking at?

Chu Liuzheng asked in confusion, "Does Young Master have any instructions?"

Xiao Jingfan loosened his grip slightly and said, "Let's go a little further and then rest."

Chu Liuzheng nodded, waiting to hear what was to come.

But there was no further news. Xiao Jingfan turned his horse around and rode Wu Shuang forward.

Chu Liuzheng: ? ? ?

She turned to look at Siyue, and asked uncertainly, "Did the young master just come to tell us that we'll be resting for a while?"

He nodded in the fourth month.

Chu Liuzheng: "..."

[Such a notification could have been sent by anyone; why did the tyrant emperor have to make the trip himself?]

[Could it be that the tyrant, having been cooped up in the palace for too long, is finally letting loose?]

Just as Chu Liuzheng was thinking this, he suddenly saw the tall figure riding a black horse in front of him sway slightly and almost fall off the horse.

[Oh dear, the tyrant almost fell off! Was he tired from riding?]

Xiao Jingfan, who couldn't help but come to check after hearing someone mention being poisoned by corpses, couldn't help but wonder why he had made this trip in the first place.
Chu Liuzheng only thought about it for a moment before putting Xiao Jingfan's unusual behavior out of his mind and focusing on learning to drive a carriage from Siyue.

A moment later, the group arrived at an open area.

"Stop and rest," Lü Fei ordered, and the chaotic yet orderly column slowly came to a halt.

Some feed the horses, some give them water, and some eat dry rations.

Feng Jing got out of the carriage and stretched.

Siyue climbed into the carriage and carried Jiang Yao down, sack and all, while Chu Liuzheng followed behind her.

Everyone was startled when they saw Jiang Yao's strange appearance and began to whisper among themselves.

Someone nudged Gong San's arm and whispered, "Hey, how come you brought back a monster?"

"When we arrested her, she had black hair and black eyes, she didn't look like this." Gong San scratched his head and muttered in puzzlement, "How did she change?"

Lu Fei frowned as well. Just then, Feng Jing strolled past him. He immediately grabbed Feng Jing, pointed to Jiang Yao who had been put down not far away, and asked, "How did she end up like this?"
