With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

Chapter 751 Protecting my sister-in-law is purely out of morality!

Even if they rode at full speed, it would take them five days to reach Hengcheng.

After all, not everyone has Baili Moqing's powerful internal strength, which allows him to travel back and forth between two places at high speed relying solely on internal strength.

That night, Baili Moqing took Shu He, Nan Qi, Yi Meir and Meng Fang to explore Geshan at night.

Xizhu contacted the brothers of Liangce Camp lurking in Hengcheng to prepare for the task assigned to him by Shuhe.

Geshan is a rugged mountain. On the road leading to the gunpowder workshop on the top of the mountain, there is a jungle green belt about tens of meters long. It is like a green rope that strangely divides the top and the mountainside of Geshan, as if a green valley was dug on the mountainside.

Geshan was originally a bamboo mountain, covered with bamboo forests that stretched as far as the eye could see.

In previous years, mountain people living near Hengcheng often went into Geshan to dig bamboo shoots and cut bamboo to exchange for silver, but now Geshan has become a forbidden mountain for local people.

The group stopped at the outskirts of the green belt filled with poisonous insects and weeds.

Yi Meir saw several poisonous weeds in the moonlight and her face was full of surprise!

A pair of eyes as soft as peach blossoms were full of excitement, "Green-headed Strychnos nux vomica!"

That's a poisonous weed that's even more toxic than ordinary strychnine, and even more precious and rare! How could it be found here?

"Strychnine?" Shu He was slightly surprised. "It's the king of all poisons recorded in the Book of Poisons, capable of instantly causing cardiac arrest and death by suffocation."

Yi Meir nodded excitedly.

Shu He was slightly surprised. She had seen this thing in the valley outside the mountain, but she didn't expect that it could grow outside!

Yi Meir said, "There are quite a few extremely poisonous herbs here, all of which are hard to find on the market! Judging from the quantity and variety, they can't be grown in Hengcheng!"

"If I'm not mistaken, these things should have been artificially transplanted."

Meng Fang was a little confused. "Why transplant so many poisonous weeds? Aren't they making gunpowder? Could these poisonous weeds also be made into gunpowder?"

Shu He shook his head and explained, "This kind of gunpowder will generate extremely high temperatures when it explodes. Any poison will turn into ashes under such an explosion and high temperature! Therefore, these poisons cannot be used to make gunpowder."

Yi Meir nodded in agreement and said, "It must have been set up to prevent outsiders from going up the mountain and exposing the secrets inside."

After hearing this, Meng Fang exclaimed in admiration, "Princess, you even know about poisonous weeds? That's amazing!"

After hearing the flattering words, Baili Moqing couldn't help but glare at Meng Fang.

Yi Meir continued, "Besides the extremely poisonous weeds, there are also many poisonous insects. Those insects that can move and bite are the greatest enemy of the people living below this mountain."

"Luckily, we've planted some insect repellent grass where we are, so the poisonous insects inside don't dare to crawl out and can only be active inside."

Nanqi asked, "So, can we use these herbs to make some insect repellent? If we carry it with us, we won't be harmed by those poisonous creatures?"

Yi Meir thought for a moment and said, "You can do this, but I don't recommend it."

Meng Fang was puzzled and asked, "General Yi, why is this?"

The emperor asked him to come just to get the black gunpowder that Prince Li brought to the palace. It would be best if he could complete the task as soon as possible.

"Because these insect repellent herbs are limited in number and arranged in a very rigorous pattern. If you pick these herbs, it is very likely to cause a breach in this poison isolation zone, and the poisonous insects inside will break through the barrier and crawl out of Geshan."

"When that happens, the villagers at the foot of Mount Ge will be in trouble!"

After hearing what Shu He said, Yi Meir's face showed surprise. She obviously didn't expect that she would know this.

"What the princess said is exactly what I was worried about." The surprise in her eyes turned into appreciation and admiration.

Meng Fang looked at Shu He's face and once again showed admiration, "Princess, how do you know everything? This is amazing!!"

After hearing this, Baili Moqing's face darkened again.

But Meng Fang didn't notice this at all. Instead, he moved closer to Shu He and asked attentively, "Princess, could you..."

"cannot!"

Meng Fang was just about to ask if the princess could bring his sister with her so that she could learn some real skills from her!

As a result, Prince Li next to him seemed to be frozen all over. He stared at him with coldness and interrupted what he said.

Meng Fang was a little confused. After spending the past few days together, he discovered that Prince Li had a different side than usual.

It turns out that the prince always likes to interrupt others!

This is not good and a bit rude!

Shu He laughed, then tugged at Baili Moqing's clothes and glared at him coquettishly.

"Commander Meng, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we return to the capital. We should resolve this matter now!"

Shu He probably guessed what he meant. After all, his expression just now was the same as the last time he talked about his sister outside Youxi Garden.

Seeing that she understood, Meng Fang nodded excitedly and thanked her, "Thank you, Princess!"

Shu He was stunned for a moment. She hadn't agreed yet, so why was he thanking her?

Meng Fang smiled at her innocently.

Shu He was speechless. Is Meng Fang really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? He is quite good at taking advantage of troubled waters!

Baili Moqing felt a little dissatisfied again when he saw the interaction between the two.

Why can they understand each other without explaining the problem?

Is this kind of tacit understanding what they should have? ! !

This Meng Fang! I should have brought Su Che here earlier!

Nanqi stood at the back, watching the scene silently, feeling a very strange feeling in his heart.

It’s like watching my former self being disliked by my master.

So, how many times had he been tortured by his master's eyes in places where his master couldn't see him?

He pulled Meng Fang and reminded him subtly, "Commander Meng, if you want to complete the task as quickly as possible, you'd better talk less!"

Especially, talk less to the princess!

Ignoring the strange atmosphere between them, Yi Meir said to Shu He, "There should be other herbs in there that can repel insects. I want to go in and take a look, and pick some to make medicine!"

"Okay." Shu He agreed. He brought Yi Meir here just for this.

"Nanqi, you stay with Miss Mei'er and protect her. Let's go to the mountain to take a look."

After hearing this, Nan Qi subconsciously wanted to say, "Why don't you let Commander Meng protect Miss Mei'er?"

But before he could finish his words, he remembered Yi Meir's identity.

This is the future daughter-in-law of the eldest brother Zhenli, and his future sister-in-law!

When Zhen Li left, he told him to take better care of his sister-in-law. So, protecting Yi Meir was still up to him.

"Okay, leave my sister-in-law's safety to me!"

Yi Mei'er blushed slightly after hearing this, "General Nan, you, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

She hasn't even married Zhenli yet! She hasn't even returned to Yaowang Valley to see her master yet! How did she become "sister-in-law"?

She is not good at socializing. Apart from Zhenli, she rarely has direct contact with other people. She even rarely sees Shuhe.

Therefore, she always felt awkward when talking to Nanqi.

Seeing that she was a little reserved, Shu He smiled, patted her shoulder and said, "If you need anything, just ask Nan Qi to do it. He accepted the money from Zhen Li to take on the job of protecting you! Don't be polite to him!"

Yi Meir looked up in surprise, then looked at Nanqi in disbelief, as if asking: Did Zhenli do this?

How could that seemingly emotionless iceberg think so carefully?

Nanqi's face darkened. "Princess, what are you talking about? Am I protecting my sister-in-law for money?"

He really wants to protect Yi Meir for Zhenli, okay?

Making money is just a by-product, but he doesn't protect Yi Meir for money!

The priorities cannot be confused!!

Shu He chuckled and ignored Nan Qi. Instead, he said to Baili Moqing and Meng Fang, "Let's go into the mountains while it's still dark!"

Baili Moqing nodded, put his arms around Shu He's waist, and flew into the air.

Meng Fang watched the two men leave and immediately followed.

Yi Meir and Nanqi also walked into the isolation zone where poisonous substances were everywhere.

"General Nan, watch your step and don't get bitten by poisonous insects!"

Nanqi nodded, his face flushed. "Well, sister-in-law, please believe me. I chose to stay and protect you purely for moral reasons, not for money! Don't listen to what the princess says!"

Yi Meir looked back at him, a little surprised.

Why is he still obsessed with this?

Why, is it important? Isn't it important that he is doing this?

As if seeing her doubt, Nanqi turned his head and said guiltily, "Don't tell Xizhu when you go back..."

If Xi Zhu knew about this, then all the brothers in the Chengfeng Army would know about it! Then, who knows how they would laugh at him behind his back!

Yi Meir smiled helplessly upon hearing this. Just as she was about to move forward, she saw Nan Qi rush past her like a gust of wind.

"Be careful!" He shook the internal force in his hand and immediately knocked a long green snake away.

Yi Meir's face changed slightly, and the sound that she hadn't yet shouted out was swallowed into her stomach.

After the "crisis" was resolved, he turned to look at Yi Meir and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

"without……"

Yi Meir smiled, but felt a little sorry for the green snake.

Although the green snake is poisonous, its teeth can be ground into agarwood, which, when burned, can also repel insects and avoid poison.

"General Nan, if you see a snake like that again, please try to leave its body intact. I need its teeth..."

Adhering to the principle of avoiding suspicion, Yi Meir left him after she finished speaking.

Nanqi was stunned for a moment, then felt extremely embarrassed and just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Is he doing more harm than good?
