Chapter 160 White Tiger Mountain
After hearing what Jiang Zuo said, Shen Yiyi rolled her eyes at him with disdain.
"I don't have that many!" He shook the small porcelain bottles in his hand. Including this one, there were only ten bottles.
"Miss, I remember I helped you grind a lot before!" Jiang Zuo looked confused.
Remember that kind of medicine powder? He and your brothers ground a lot of it, and the Crown Princess even praised him a lot.
I only used two packs this time, how could it be gone?
"Isn't that corpse powder you're grinding?"
"Isn't it different?" Jiang Zuo pointed to the small porcelain bottle in Shen Yiyi's hand.
So one is powder and the other is liquid, but just now we saw that both of them burned people into smoke, so aren't the effects the same?
After hearing what he said, Shen Yiyi gave him a look of innocence.
"Of course it's different." After saying that, he shook the small porcelain bottle in his hand.
"Mine is called corpse-dissolving water, which is only effective on corpses. The one in the medicine bag is corpse-dissolving powder, which is specifically used to deal with drugged people. There is a big difference."
After saying that, he glared at Jiang Zuo with a bad look, thinking that he had never seen the world and thought he knew everything just by helping him apply the medicine powder for a few days.
The effects of corpse-dissolving powder and corpse-dissolving water are very different. If they were the same, there would not be so much trouble to make them into liquids.
"Oh," Jiang Zuo nodded as if he understood. It turned out there was such a big difference. He thought they were the same.
"In other words, you still have a lot of corpse-dissolving powder, right?" Shang Zhanchen looked at Shen Yiyi again.
What he is concerned about now is not the difference in effect, but whether there is enough powder to control the ghost army once it appears again.
"Didn't you hear what Xiao Jiang said just now?" Shen Yiyi rolled her eyes at Shang Zhanchen.
It was as if her ears weren't working properly. She had been talking to Xiao Jiang for quite some time about how there were more corpse-dissolving powders than corpse-dissolving water, but he was still asking this nonsense, as if his brain was stuck.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen.
He glared at Shen Yiyi with dissatisfaction, he was so angry that his teeth were itching. Couldn't she just talk nicely? There was never a time when this woman didn't make him angry.
Seeing that his master and the Crown Princess were about to argue again, Jiang Zuo hurriedly tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"Um... Miss, it's getting late. Let's leave here early."
"Okay." Shen Yiyi nodded.
She raised her chin proudly, gave Shang Zhanchen a cold look, and then returned to the carriage.
“……………………”Everyone lowered their heads.
Seeing their master being humiliated, they dared not raise their heads as if their necks were broken, for fear of being implicated.
But one has to admire the courage of the Crown Princess, seeing that her master was unhappy, she still dared to glare at him.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen gritted his teeth in anger.
If it weren't for the subordinates who were there at the moment, I would have dragged that woman over and punished her severely.
She always dislikes him and never speaks to herself properly. She must take charge of the couple when she has the chance. This woman deserves to be punished.
He turned around and ran towards the carriage, taking another look at the place where the medicine men disappeared.
The anger in his heart subsided a lot. Although the woman often made him angry, some things she did were quite to his liking.
Just like this time, fortunately I got so much medicine powder, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
Even though there were many people who wanted him dead, there weren't many who could hire a miracle doctor, so it must be the one in the palace.
It has to be said that he guessed it right again. At this moment, Concubine Lan and He Yuan were anxiously waiting for news.
I thought I would get news within two days, but two or three days passed and there was no news at all.
There was no news even from the Poison Doctors Sect, so he had no choice but to send his own people to investigate.
This back and forth delayed him another seven or eight days, and the results of the investigation made him furious.
The prince's convoy was not only unharmed, but was about to reach Lingnan, just as the Poison Doctors had promised.
He should have heard the news in a few days, but what he heard was this: these poison doctors took his money but did not do anything.
Otherwise, how could Shang Zhanchen and the convoy be safe and sound? He vented all his anger on the Poison Doctor Sect.
I specially sent someone to question them, and the Poison Doctors' Sect was also very angry. Since the establishment of the Poison Doctors' Sect, they have never failed.
After repeated assurances, another group of people were sent to investigate, but the results were still unsatisfactory.
Not only were the ghost army not found, but even some clues were not discovered, which made the leader of the Poison Doctor Sect very angry.
He didn't know what went wrong or why this happened, but he promised again and again that he would send people to rob and kill Shang Zhanchen again.
He Yuan felt better after receiving the news, but he did not take it lightly and specially called out the second prince.
Let him notify the people in Baihu Mountain to intercept and kill Shang Zhanchen's convoy.
At this moment, Shen Yiyi, Shang Zhanchen and others were almost at Baihu Mountain and stopped less than thirty miles away.
"Why don't you leave?" Shen Yiyi stuck her head out of the car window and stretched her neck to look forward.
I didn't notice there was a road blocking ahead, so how could I stop just like that?
"Miss Shen, Baihu Mountain is ahead." Jiang You pointed to the towering mountain in front and looked at Shen Yiyi again.
"What happened in Baihu Mountain?" Shen Yiyi looked at Jiang You suspiciously, and also leaned forward to look.
From what he said, it seems that White Tiger Mountain is quite scary.
“You don’t come here often, so you may not know that there is a group of fierce bandits entrenched in Baihu Mountain for many years.
They often rob merchants and caravans passing through here. If we just go there, I'm afraid it won't go smoothly."
As Jiang You spoke, he glanced at his master meaningfully. It was thanks to his master that he came up with this idea, but he felt that it was not reliable.
"Robbery, are there many of them?" Shen Yiyi looked at Jiang You again.
Looking at his serious look, it seems that there must have been quite a lot of bandits at that time.
"Well, although I don't know the exact number of people, it should be around 1,800."
"So many!" Shen Yiyi was also shocked.
I didn't expect there were so many people in that bandit's den. Then I looked at their convoy and found that there were less than thirty people in total.
If he was really robbed by those bandits, it would be very easy to suffer a loss. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Jiang You again.
"So do you have any good ideas?"
Since they often come here, I think they must have some good way to deal with it, otherwise they wouldn't stop here.
"Well... there is a way." Jiang You said as he glanced at his master unnoticed.
However, Shen Yiyi didn't pay attention to it. When she heard him say that there was a way, she immediately became excited.
"What method?" I guessed that he would have a good idea.
“Well… Although that group of bandits is brutal and cruel, they can be let go if they pay enough tolls.
I want us to set up a caravan to welcome the bride, and then spend some money, and we can get away with it."
After Jiang Youyi finished speaking, he glanced at his master again, feeling that he had other thoughts in mind.
