Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

Tong Yan nodded, a slight smile appearing on his face.

After a moment of contemplation, Chi Junlin said to Tong Yan, "I still need to go and see what happened to them. I can't just stay here and do nothing."

"Master, you should remain here to oversee the martial arts world. If anything unexpected happens and I cannot return in time, please write to Zheng Gaoda or Jiang Mao and ask them to send troops to rescue us."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan nodded seriously.

However, she seemed to have thought of something and gestured for Chi Junlin to come over, as if she had something to say to her alone.

So Chi Junlin followed Tong Yan into the tent.

Avoiding everyone else, Chi Junlin saw Tong Yan's serious expression and couldn't help but tease him, "Is there something you want to say to me alone? Could it be that Master hasn't seen me for too long and misses me, wanting to be intimate with me?"

Tong Yan blushed immediately upon hearing this and spat at her, saying, "You rascal, you're so unserious. I'm talking to you seriously."

Seeing this, Chi Junlin pulled her into his arms, kissed her red lips, and then, maintaining this position, said to Tong Yan, "Yes, Master, please speak."

Tong Yan didn't reject Chi Junlin's affection, but after looking around, she whispered, "Are you taking Wenren Xuan with you again this time?"

Chi Junlin nodded and asked her, "What's wrong?"

You should be careful and watch out for her.

Tong Yan then continued, "When you were all away, I vaguely noticed traces of the Demonic Sect in the vicinity."

Afterwards, I went to investigate while avoiding other people's gaze and found that someone had left coded messages in a hidden place.

It seems they need to send a message to someone here.

Chapter 321 Changes in the Miao Village

Upon hearing Tong Yan's words, Chi Junlin frowned slightly.

Then he asked, "Did this happen recently?"

Tong Yan nodded and said, "Yes, it was the night before last."

Chi Junlin pondered for a moment, thinking that the Demonic Sect must have its own set of secret codes, which would be difficult for someone who knew nothing about them to understand.

The purpose was to prevent others from discovering the message left to their companions.

Although Tong Yan saw the code, she obviously didn't have a translation of it, so she didn't know what message the other party had left behind.

However, since this had never happened before, but recently after Chi Junlin and the others came, traces of the Demonic Sect suddenly appeared and left messages in this area.

This indicates that there is something extremely urgent that needs to be communicated to someone here.

Therefore, based on the above, there is a very high probability that it was to notify Wenren Xuan, who originally belonged to the Demonic Sect.

Thinking of this, Chi Junlin couldn't help but frown.

She didn't know if the message was really meant for Wenren Xuan, or if it was left for someone else, but it just so happened that Tong Yan saw it.

In short, just as Tong Yan said, we must be wary of Wenren Xuan in secret no matter what.

At this moment, Chi Junlin also nodded to Tong Yan with a solemn expression and said, "I'm sorry for your concern, Master. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that such a thing happened."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan glanced at Chi Junlin, intending to respond.

However, while Chi Junlin spoke with a serious expression, his hands were extremely unruly.

She couldn't help but slap Chi Junlin's hand.

Then he looked at Chi Junlin with a slight displeasure.

Chi Junlin's favorite thing about her was her charming demeanor, which seemed to be angry but not angry, with her cheeks slightly flushed.

He couldn't resist pulling her into his arms and kissing her passionately.

"Chirp—pop..."

Tong Yan, with a coy and hesitant expression, quickly blushed and said, "Don't do it here... someone could come into the camp at any time..."

"In this case."

Chi Junlin then said with a mischievous smile, "Master, please keep your voice down, so that the people outside can't hear..."

"Don't... ooh... chirp... sizzle—"

Before Tong Yan could speak, Chi Junlin grabbed her hands and pressed her onto the bed.

Seeing that Chi Junlin was in high spirits and could not be stopped no matter what, and that he himself had not seen her for many days, he was also finding it hard to bear.

He could only bite his lip and, as Chi Junlin had instructed, try his best not to let his voice carry outside the tent.

-

After that, a long time passed.

When Langya finally prepared the antidote for everyone, he distributed it in order of severity of illness, from most severe to least severe.

Chi Junlin then emerged from the main tent with a look of relief and walked belatedly to Langya's side.

Wenren Xuan keenly noticed the change in Chi Junlin's condition. Seeing that Tong Yan was not by her side, she asked with a strange expression, "Where is your master?"

"Oh, I chatted with my master for a while, and seeing that she was a little tired, I told her to rest in bed first."

Then he said to the people around him, "Don't go in yet, let her sleep a little longer. She'll come out on her own later."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, casting respectful glances at the camp where Tong Yan was located.

After all, everyone has seen what Tong Yan has done for everyone these days.

Honestly, for a martial arts alliance leader to do this much is already an act of utmost benevolence and righteousness.

No one could say anything was wrong.

Only Wenren Xuan, watching Chi Junlin's retreating figure, couldn't help but reveal a teasing expression.

At this moment, Chi Junlin walked to Langya's side and asked her, "How is the situation on your end?"

Langya replied with a relaxed expression, "What problem could there be with me taking action? This dose of medicine will expel 70% of the poison. With three more doses of the final prescription, the illness will be cured within three days!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than someone nearby vomited black blood.

Everyone was somewhat worried.

Langya confidently said, "Don't panic, vomiting blood is normal. It would be strange if you didn't vomit blood when fighting poison with poison. Everyone will vomit soon."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the camp wore expressions that were hard to describe.

But since the woman had gained Tong Yan's trust, the others had no choice but to believe her.

Seeing that Langya had arranged the information properly, Chi Junlin said to Langya, "In that case, I will entrust their safety to you. I need to go to the Miao village to see what happened. You stay here for now to treat everyone's illnesses."

Upon hearing this, Langya nodded confidently and said, "Don't worry, just leave them to me. With my abilities, I guarantee that none of them will be poisoned!"

Upon seeing this, Chi Junlin nodded.

Then, he left the camp with Wenren Xuan.

We quickly headed towards the Miao village along the road.

-

A short while later, the two arrived near the Miao village via the same route they had taken before, intending to enter.

However, they discovered that something was amiss in the Miao village.

The Miao people here were somewhat panicked, gathering in twos and threes, seemingly talking about something.

Even when Chi Junlin and Wenren Xuan arrived, it did not attract the attention of the Miao people.

As the two approached the large tribal wooden house where the Miao village leaders had previously gathered, they discovered that the chaos there was even more intense.

It appears that many people have fallen into a coma here, and judging from their clothing, they are all of high status among the Miao people.

Even the leader who had met with Chi Junlin before was among the unconscious members.

Some Miao people and shamans around them were treating them with great enthusiasm, and they were all speaking in Miao language that they couldn't understand.

Chi Junlin couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. Even if he wanted to ask someone for help, he might not be able to understand what the other person was saying.

This is the most troublesome situation.

But at that moment, Chi Junlin saw some Han people helping out not far away, and one of them was a familiar face.

Her eyes lit up, and she raised her hand to him, calling out, "Your Excellency, Magistrate!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Magistrate Yu, the local official in charge of the county, quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

Upon seeing Chi Junlin's figure, he hurriedly put down what he was holding and rushed over.

"Your Excellency, what brings you here?"

Magistrate Yu hurriedly called out to Chi Junlin, "Why didn't you send someone to inform me so I could go and greet you..."

Chi Junlin waved his hand, indicating that such polite words could be dispensed with.

Then, getting straight to the point, he asked, "What happened here? Why are they all unconscious?"

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Yu sighed and frowned as he said to her, "I'm also puzzled. I didn't know what had happened before, but suddenly news came to the county office saying that a major incident had occurred in the Miao village and many leaders had fallen into a coma."

I didn't have time to think much before I quickly called for help.

Before I could even sort things out, I saw you coming over, sir...

"Does Your Excellency know what happened? You could enlighten me."

Hearing Magistrate Yu speak these words with such sincerity, Chi Junlin felt a sense of helplessness.

If only she knew what had happened, otherwise she would have asked Magistrate Yu so many questions for no reason.

Chapter 322 Everyone Missing

Although Magistrate Yu is of no use to Chi Junlin now, at least there is one more person who understands Miao language at this time.

It can help the Red King clarify some of the situations.

So at this moment, she changed her mindset and quickly asked Magistrate Yu, "There is a woman in our camp who escorted Qiaonu back before. Do you know where she went?"

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Yu immediately shook his head and said, "We haven't seen any Han Chinese women since we arrived here."

Chi Junlin was a little annoyed, so he said to him, "Ask those Miao people! They might know."

Magistrate Yu nodded repeatedly, and then went to find a servant who was serving the leader.

After asking, he returned and reported to Chi Junlin, "There is such a person. He came back with Qiaonu earlier, saying that he was looking for the witch doctor Ruo."

However, for some reason, the person disappeared after that.

I asked him where he went, and he said he didn't know.

"Where is the witch doctor?"

Chi Junlin asked again.

Magistrate Yu shook his head. "It's the same. After the Miao leaders fell unconscious, they disappeared without a trace."

As he spoke, Magistrate Yu looked around cautiously, then whispered to Chi Junlin, "And the trouble is, not only them, but Qiaonu has also disappeared."

She was the chieftain's most beloved daughter. Qiaonu had played a significant role in enabling the Han people to maintain good relations with the Miao people.

Now that she's gone missing, regardless of what the big boss does next, it's extremely disadvantageous for us..."

Chi Junlin nodded, indicating that he understood.

Magistrate Yu sighed again, casually complaining, "Alas... it's a pity I taught her to read and write for so long, we had some teacher-student relationship... I'm quite sad that she's gone. I hope nothing bad has happened to her..."

Upon hearing Magistrate Yu's words, Chi Junlin and Wenren Xuan were both stunned for a moment, then showed strange expressions.

"Did you teach her all the books she read?"

Chi Junlin looked at Magistrate Yu with a strange expression.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Magistrate Yu looked completely bewildered.

"nothing."

Chi Junlin shook his head, skipping the topic.

He continued, "You lead the way, we need to go inside and see if there are any useful clues."

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Yu immediately nodded.

He then went to a steward and said something to him.
