Chapter 164 How did that dog manage to be found?
"Their men were too vigilant. As soon as they got to this area, they left more than a dozen men to block the way and let the carriage go in first."
After an incense stick had burned, the carriage came out again.
After they left, we went inside to look, but the tire tracks were all messy, and we couldn't find out which house it was.
Qian Lai said this, looking somewhat disappointed.
Zhao Jinzhong patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, saying, "It's alright, we have a way."
"What method?"
Having been around for so many years, the Fuzhou University students have become incredibly skilled at finding people and places.
In this misty wetland, a place they had searched for two days without finding, what could the young general possibly do?
Zhao Jinzhong glanced at Wulong first, then at Zhou Ruo, and said, "Ruo Ruo, it's Wulong's turn to go on stage!"
"Okay, brother!" Zhou Ruo replied happily, then whispered a few words in Wulong's ear.
Then I heard Wulong bark twice, and then it wagged its big tail and ran out.
Looking in the direction Wulong had run off in, Qian Lai asked doubtfully, "Young General, can you really find it by sending just a dog?"
Zhou Ruo interjected, "Wulong isn't an ordinary dog! It's incredibly good at finding things!"
"But can it just go looking for something out of thin air? Is it even possible to find it?" Qian asked.
For Qian Lai, at least they were still following the pharmacy's carriage, which provided a clue to their location.
How could that dog possibly be found?
Zhou Ruo wanted to explain further, but Zhao Jinzhong stopped her and said to everyone, "Please be patient and wait a while."
Qian Lai and his companions stopped questioning and huddled together, whispering to each other.
While Wulong was out searching, Zhao Jinzhong explained the whole story to An Chang.
"Holy crap! You guys have gone through so much while I was gone?"
An Chang recalled that Zhao Jinzhong had mentioned before that he suspected Wang Changlin was making elixirs with the Imperial Advisor for personal gain.
"Then why don't you follow Wang Changlin and Wang Yucong? Maybe that would lead you to the location of the alchemy room?"
Upon hearing An Chang's words, Fu Da stepped forward to explain, "Young Master An, we split into two groups, with two of us stationed at the Prince's residence."
But after two days of surveillance, they still hadn't seen a trace of the Marquis or his eldest son.
"So you've been there before!" An Chang thought for a moment, then asked Zhao Jinzhong, "But why were you so determined to find their alchemy room?"
Zhao Jinzhong clicked his tongue, wanting to blame An Chang for being so careless.
Pulling An Chang aside, she said, "Little Sheep Village, the Dowager Consort, the Seventh Princess, and Consort Zheng... have you forgotten about all these people who were poisoned?"
"I...of course I haven't forgotten! It's just..." He just couldn't put it all together.
It's no wonder Zhao Jinzhong read so many military books; his thinking is much more meticulous than that of his peers.
After careful consideration, An Chang suddenly realized that Zhao Jinzhong wanted to find clues through the alchemy room.
Once the alchemy room is located, it can be confirmed whether Wang Changlin and Wang Yucong were involved in alchemy.
What kinds of pills were refined in the alchemy room? Which ones were poisonous and which ones were non-poisonous?
Where was it used if it was toxic?
......
There are many more clues that can be found in the alchemy room.
About an incense stick later, Wulong returned.
It went straight to Zhou Ruo, nudged her belly with its big head, and barked softly twice.
Zhou Ruo told Zhao Jinzhong, "Brother, we've found Wulong!"
"What?!" Qian Lai and the others exclaimed and surrounded him. After glancing at Wulong, they looked at each other in disbelief.
"Let's go!" Zhao Jinzhong said without saying much, picked up Zhou Ruo and put her on Wulong's back, then followed Wulong back.
An Chang and Fu Da and the others followed closely behind.
Wulong meandered through twenty or thirty workshops, finally arriving at a misty, foggy forest.
When the group arrived, they found that the path ahead was completely blocked by a dense thicket of trees, and there was no way forward.
"We've passed through this place at least three times. It's all grass and branches; there's no path at all!" Qian Lai said, panting.
The dragon cried out twice towards the front, and Zhou Ruo said, "Brother, the dragon said it's right ahead!"
Wulong lay down on the ground, gesturing for Zhou Ruo to come down.
After Zhou Ruo got off its back, Wulong walked forward, broke through the thick jungle wall in front of it, and revealed a muddy path.
When everyone saw the road in front of them, they were all stunned.
It turned out that this jungle was a gate; after pushing it open, there was a dirt road in front of it, big enough for a large horse-drawn carriage to pass through.
"My God! How could they use such a trick!" Qian Lai found it unbelievable; how could an ordinary person possibly spot it?
An Chang was also stunned. "How did this dog know this was a door?"
Zhou Ruo told him, "Brother An Chang, Wulong can remember the taste of the pills!"
"Oh! I see!" Qian Lai breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking he was inferior to a dog.
It turns out there were already clues before the dog arrived.
The group continued walking inside and soon saw a large house not far away.
A strong medicinal smell wafted from inside, along with rustling voices and billowing gray smoke rising from the roof.
There were only a few guards outside the house. They approached the house while avoiding the guards' line of sight.
Zhao Jinzhong told Fu Lai and his brothers to hide in the woods while he and An Chang led Zhou Ruo closer to the alchemy room.
Wulong led the three to a relatively secluded place with a window.
You can see most of the situation inside the alchemy room through the window.
Zhou Ruo stood on tiptoe to try and see what was inside the window, but she was still quite a distance from the windowsill.
"Brother..." She tugged at Zhao Jinzhong's hand, casting a pleading look at him.
Zhao Jinzhong was inspecting the alchemy room and for a moment forgot about Zhou Ruo.
"I'm so ashamed, I completely forgot about you for a moment, please don't be offended."
As he spoke, Zhao Jinzhong picked up Zhou Ruo and let her straddle his shoulders.
"Wow~" Zhou Ruo's height gave him an even clearer view than Zhao Jinzhong's.
"There are quite a few alchemy furnaces, but they're not exactly magnificent or opulent..."
Zhou Ruo was somewhat disgusted; this alchemy room was far inferior to the one in her sect in her previous life.
An Chang watched carefully from the side. After a while, he suddenly pulled Zhao Jinzhong aside and whispered,
"Look over there!"
Zhao Jinzhong looked in the direction An Chang was pointing and saw Wang Yucong.
He was talking to an alchemist in front of a furnace.
Zhao Jinzhong asked Zhou Ruo, "Ruo Ruo, have you noticed anything unusual?"
While carefully sensing the surroundings, Zhou Ruo replied to Zhao Jinzhong, "There are quite a few special ones!"
"Brother, look! The pills over here aren't poisonous, but the ones over there are."
"That alchemy furnace was used to refine the pills that Sister Yueyi and her mother consumed, and that furnace contained the pills that Grandmother consumed."
"The pills in that furnace, if you eat them, will give you the poisonous scars on that pretty lady's face..."
Zhou Ruo looked again and saw two or three rusted alchemy furnaces in the most inconspicuous corner.
She pointed and said, "Those furnaces are where they're refining Qi-Subduing Pills."
Now, all the pills that Zhao Jinzhong and his group had encountered and consumed have appeared in this alchemy room.
An Chang suddenly grabbed Zhao Jinzhong again, saying excitedly, "Jinzhong, look over there! It's Lord Wang!"
