Chapter 111 Unveiling the List
Chapter 111 Unveiling the List
Considering that among them, three people were injured to varying degrees.
But they didn't have much medicine to treat their injuries, and the weather was cold, so it was hard to find herbs.
So they decided to make a concerted effort and use the same method they used to deal with the earth dragon to cross the mudflat as quickly as possible.
They came to the mudflats again and looked towards the northwest.
Rong Su looked around and found that there seemed to be several earth dragons lurking not far from the mudflat.
They are like bandits on this mudflat, showing off their power to every citizen who wants to cross the mudflat.
Rong Su spoke softly, "When we get to Xuancheng, I want to write to Aku and ask him to find someone to deal with the mud dragons on this mudflat. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the people in the nearby towns to do business."
After hearing Rong Su's words, Shen Peiqing looked at her in surprise, but didn't say anything. He just felt that she seemed to have changed a lot when he looked at her. He also saw her changes during this period of time. She was completely different from the Rong Su who only talked about transactions and benefits at the beginning and was cold-blooded and not like a human.
"If the people in those towns knew that you, Asu, cared so much about them, they would definitely be very grateful to you." Gu Yun was really happy for Rong Su that she could say this.
Rong Su did not seek gratitude or thanks from others, he just wanted to do this. Also, if these earth dragons were not dealt with, they would still have to deal with them when they returned, so it would be better to find someone to deal with them first.
Then they began to gather their energy and cross the mudflat.
Because they already knew what the earth dragons were afraid of, and knew that if they attacked their noses, they would be scared and run away, so they left the mudflat smoothly in about half a day.
They all breathed a sigh of relief and looked behind them. There was only one last small valley left. As long as they passed through it, they would be able to see the city gate of Xuancheng.
On the rest of the journey, except for occasionally encountering one or two ferocious beasts, they did not become obstacles thanks to Shi Tou's martial arts.
In less than a day, they finally saw the shadow of Xuancheng.
The entire city is surrounded by mountains and rivers on both sides. The mountains on the left are endless, and on the right is a wide river. It is said that this river leads to the vast ocean.
After the soldiers guarding the city checked their luggage, Rong Su took out the pass to enter the city, and they entered Xuancheng smoothly.
After entering Xuancheng, we found that it seemed to be much warmer than the place where we were on the mudflats before.
Although there was still some cold wind, there was not much snow on the ground in the streets and alleys.
The entire Xuancheng is one of the most important fortresses in Dongzhou, and the emperor of Dongzhou also focuses on Xuancheng as an important trading city for trade with other continents.
Therefore, there are so many people coming and going here that it can be said that compared to the already prosperous Mining City and Ning City, there are twice as many people here.
You can even see people from different continents coming here to trade, and everyone's face is filled with joy and satisfaction.
On the way to find the inn, Rong Su looked around and felt something in her heart. She wished she was one of them, just coming here to do business.
There were many emotions, but they could only sigh. After finding the inn, they each went to rest and tidy up, and then discussed the next step after they had rested.

Jin'an Prince's Palace
In a gorgeous and noble room, the room is filled with precious and rare ornaments. In the middle is an incense burner with fragrant aroma. The body of the incense burner is carved with lifelike exotic birds and beasts. It is made entirely of gold, shining brightly in the sunlight reflected from the window. It is exquisite and luxurious.
In the center of the small hall and the inner room is placed a semi-transparent screen made of colored glass. On the screen is carved a red phoenix soaring in the sky, with its huge wings spread out, flying with its head held high and full of pride.
At this moment, a soft call was heard outside the door of the compartment.
"master."
Rong Yingxin was lying on a fine and luxurious silk quilt, her baby face showing a lazy expression, and her voice came out lightly.
"Let people in."
The door opened, and a figure walked in from outside, then knelt down in front of the screen.
As soon as Rong Yingxin got up from the bed, a maid hurried in with a basin of water for her to wash.
While washing up, she asked nonchalantly, "How is it?"
The person kneeling outside, with his head bowed and an expression of obedience, replied respectfully: "Rong Su and others have arrived in Xuancheng."
Hearing this, Rong Ying, who was washing her hands, paused for a moment, then a sneer of disdain flashed across her eyes. She picked up a handkerchief beside her, wiped her hands, and threw them into the basin of water that had already cooled down a bit.
With a hint of anger in her tone, she scolded the maid with a smile: "The water is cold. Are you trying to make me catch a cold?"
The maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt down with a basin of water, shaking her head tremblingly and begging for forgiveness.
"Master, no, I'm just going to change the water for you! Please forgive me, Master!"
Rong Yingxin raised her eyelids and looked at the maid kneeling in front of her with a look of looking at a dead person. Seeing her expression of fear of her, she felt a little relieved for a moment, and then she called for someone in a light tone.
"Someone, teach her the rules."
When the maid heard this, she was so frightened that her face turned from pale to white, but she still did not dare to let go of the basin and cried for mercy.
Someone came in and dragged the maid out. The maid's begging for mercy continued, but after a while, it could no longer be heard.
Then, Rong Yingxin walked barefoot on the soft blanket on the ground, walked to the toffee chair beside her and lay down on her side, looking at the person who was still kneeling with no interest.
"Yu. Tell me, what on earth is Rong Su doing here?"
The man kept his head down and never raised it. He answered whatever Rong Yingxin asked.
"She came here to find herbs to cure Shen Peiqing."
"Shen Peiqing?"
Rong Yingxin narrowed her eyes and thought hard, when suddenly a system prompt popped up, and she suddenly remembered this person.
Oh, it turns out to be the second male lead.
It's really interesting that the heroine Rong Su would go to so much trouble for a second male lead.
"If I remember correctly, Shen Peiqing is the former crown prince of Beizhou, and he is still wanted?" She played with her fingers and curled the corners of her mouth.
"Yes."
A sinister smile flashed across Rong Yingxin's eyes, and she leaned forward slightly to look at the person kneeling on the ground.
"Well, I want to get closer to the current Crown Prince of Beizhou. Since the Crown Prince of Beizhou needs to issue a warrant for this criminal, then we should give him this good news. Isn't that right?"
"That's what the master said."
Very satisfied with the man's answer, Rong Yingxin smiled, sat up straight, and fiddled with her skirt.
"You go back. Continue to help me take good care of Rong Su."
"Yes, Master."
After the man finished speaking, he disappeared into the room in a flash.
Rong Yingxin's eyes were filled with a sly smile, and she curled her lips and sighed softly, "The heroine gave up the hero and turned to the second male lead. This novel story seems quite interesting. Don't you agree, System?"
A virtual frame popped up in front of me, accompanied by a mechanical echo with a hint of emotion.
{Host, please do not waste too much time on irrelevant things. As long as you complete the task as soon as possible, you can speed up your pace and seize the halo of the heroine.}
Every time she talked to the system about this, the system would always urge her to complete those endless tasks.
A cold look covered Rong Yingxin's face, but when she thought about giving Rong Su something to worry about, she instantly felt a little happy again.
Even if I can't kill the heroine now, it would be nice to give her some trouble.
Playing with his fingers, humming a song in a good mood.
If the message is sent to Shen Fengyu, will the male protagonist have some good feelings towards her?
When Rong Yingxin thought of Shen Fengyu's handsome and unruly face, she found it difficult to suppress her pounding heartbeat and her smile deepened.

"The weather here is really nice. It's almost the end of December, but there's still some warm sunlight at noon. It's been ages since I've been in the sun!"
Gu Yuer excitedly lay by the window, stretched out her hands in the sunlight, and said happily.
As if she had thought of something, she turned to look at Rong Su, who was reading a book beside her, and asked, "Sister Rong, where are the herbs you need to find for Brother Shen? Is it difficult to find them?"
When Rong Su heard Gu Yuer mention this, she remembered the matter of Xue Qicao, turned the page of the book, and then spoke.
"I've sent a letter to Aku, asking him to find someone to investigate. There should be news soon."
"Oh." Gu Yuer listened to this, looked at Rong Su again, and responded softly. Then she asked curiously, "Aku is in charge of the Hundred Sects alone, and he has two children. Can Sister Rong rest assured and let him do it?"
Rong Su stopped turning the pages. After they arrived at the inn yesterday, she immediately called a carrier pigeon to send a letter to Aku to ask about the situation over there.
That flying pigeon was specially trained by Aku, so there is no need to worry about it not being able to find the way.
After being away from the mining town for so many days, it was impossible for her to say that she wasn't worried.
Every time I think about how I was so anxious to establish Bai Tiao Men, but in the end I handed it over to Aku without even managing it. This was actually very unfair of me.
She also asked Aku what he thought, but Aku had no complaints at all and was even very proactive in taking on everything.
She was very satisfied with this, but also a little ashamed.
"Why are you asking this?" Rong Su had no intention of answering Gu Yuer. After all, this matter was her own business, and she didn't want to discuss it with others.
Seeing Rong Su didn't answer, Gu Yu'er pursed her lips, resting her hands on her cheeks, and muttered, "Nothing, just curious. By the way, Sister Rong, the King of Jin'an adopted his daughter and held a grand banquet. He also invited the entire city, including merchants from various continents who came here to do business. Do you think we can go?"
Hearing this, Rong Su had an idea in mind. Yesterday, when they were having dinner in the lobby, she occasionally heard people talking about this matter. So when she sent a message to Aku about this matter, she also asked Yan Liang for help.
As the owner of a major city that supplies minerals to various continents, Yan Liang must have his own people in each continent, and he might be able to give her some good advice.
The King of Jin'an hosted a banquet for all the people and businesses in the city, but they were not businesses, so naturally they were not among the guests hosted by the King of Jin'an.
Then there is no way to attend the banquet, but in her opinion, even if there are no conditions, she must create conditions to attend the banquet. Her main purpose is to meet Rong Yingxin.
Because she suspected that the adopted daughter of King Jin'an was Rong Yingxin!
"Okay. If you have this much time, you might as well read more herbal books." Rong Su saw Gu Yuer looking idle, and in order to prevent her from asking questions again, she had to transform herself into an elder and persuade her with earnest words.
As soon as she heard the words urging her to study, Gu Yuer pretended to be deaf and dumb, looked very busy, and quickly got up and walked out.
"Ah, what? I remember now. I have something to do. I'll go get busy first!"
Gu Yuer slipped away very quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Rong Su looked at her and shook her head helplessly.
When no one was around, the room suddenly became much quieter.
But this kind of silence made Rong Su seem a little uncomfortable. She was suddenly stunned and felt that she actually had such thoughts. She frowned, raised her head, looked out the window, and fell into deep thought.
On the second day, Rong Su planned to go out to buy some herbs and prepare to make several kinds of poisons and antidotes, and then send them to Aku at the post station. Aku had said before that Anaan had great talent in researching herbal medicine, and maybe there would be another channel for making poisons in the future.
Poison, something full of dangers and opportunities, may give their sect an extra foothold and the ability to protect themselves in this chaotic world.
As I was passing a corner, I saw a lot of people gathered in front of the notice board.
I didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but I heard someone discussing the Prince of Jin'an's Mansion.
She stopped and walked over to take a look.
After a closer look, it turned out that it was the Jin'an Prince's Mansion that posted a notice looking for a doctor who could cure illnesses. No matter if he was a famous doctor or a doctor with medical skills, as long as he could cure the princess, there would be a reward of three thousand taels.
Such a good thing will naturally attract a lot of people to watch.
When Rong Su saw the notice, he went to take down the list without saying a word.
Two city guards immediately arrived. They approached with stern and fierce expressions, "What are you doing? Don't you know this is a notice from the palace? Those who remove the notice without permission will be imprisoned!"
Rong Su was not afraid at all, and looked at them confidently: "I am a doctor, I can treat the princess."
Upon hearing this, the two city soldiers looked at each other, and then one of them looked at her with a solemn expression: "Then please come with us."
Then Rong Su followed the city soldiers to the gate of Prince Jin'an's Mansion. One of the city soldiers entered Prince Jin'an's Mansion, probably to report.
Rong Su clenched her hands tightly, feeling a little nervous and excited. She was about to meet Rong Yingxin. How should she face her when she saw her?
This question has actually been lingering in her mind for a long time, and of course the hatred has never faded.
But when the city soldier came out of the Prince of Jin'an's mansion and invited her in, she had calmed down and began to reflect on herself.
Was she a little too impulsive? Even if she wanted to kill Rong Yingxin now, she was still no match for her. She also couldn't kill Rong Yingxin, the adopted daughter of King Jin'an, and escape unscathed.
Suddenly, Rong Su's mind was a little confused, but since he had already entered the Prince of Jin'an's Mansion, he could only take one step at a time.
She was taken to a side hall, where the servant asked her to sit down and wait for a moment.
While she was thinking about various scenarios of facing Rong Yingxin, she heard someone asking her to meet the princess.
