After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 266 Manhunt

"what happened?"

The person who came was Wei Ming who was beside Shen Chenli.

He quickly dismounted and ran to Yu Tingwan and said:

"The secret guards who were sent to watch the woman in the border town have returned, but they are now poisoned and unconscious. I don't know what happened!"

Hearing this, Yu Tingwan frowned even more tightly and turned to look at An San and An Si.

"You all know the next arrangements, just continue, but the progress needs to be accelerated."

Then he looked at the others and smiled, "Hurry up and train. The next time I come, it will be your time for the assessment!"

Everyone nodded excitedly and watched Yu Tingwan and the visitor leave quickly!

Military camps and hermitages.

Shen Chenli and others were waiting here. Lu Cheng and the old valley master frowned as they looked at the people lying on the bed.

"What on earth is going on? Who did they meet?"

Lu Cheng inserted the silver needle into the acupuncture point, then looked at Shen Chenli and said:

“Your Highness, these people have been poisoned by a poison that only exists in Nanliang. Although it is quite common in Nanliang, it is definitely a rare poison for Dasheng.”

"Nanliang?"

Yu Tingwan lifted the curtain and walked in, going straight to several secret guards. Seeing that the poison in their bodies had been under control, he felt relieved.

Then he turned to look at Shen Chenli, "Did that woman do it?"

Shen Chenli nodded solemnly.

"When they came back, they said that the woman seemed to have discovered them a long time ago. Not long after we left, the woman and her maid came to them, sprinkled some poison powder on them, and left."

"What are you talking about? Why is Nanliang involved again?"

Song Shixu has been confused since he came here, wondering why they were suddenly poisoned.

Several people looked at Yu Tingwan and Shen Chenli, presumably, their mission this time was arranged by these two people.

Seeing that the old valley master and the other two were detoxifying, Yu Tingwan did not intervene anymore and looked at Song Shixu.

"Last time when we went to the border town to buy cattle and sheep, we saw a woman. I smelled a special flower fragrance from her. That flower is poisonous. It would make people feel strange if it appeared on people, so I asked someone to follow them. Unexpectedly..."

Yu Tingwan looked at the people lying on the hospital beds and felt guilty.

"If I had arranged the antidote for them in advance, this wouldn't have happened."

Shen Chenli patted her shoulder lightly.

"No one can fully anticipate what will happen next. Besides, you won't let anything happen to them, right?"

Looking at their expressions, Yu Tingwan nodded slightly. She would definitely not let anything happen to them.

"Has anyone found that woman?"

"I've asked Chen Lin to investigate. According to previous investigations, this woman is indeed from Nanliang. As for which tribe in Nanliang she is from, we haven't found out yet."

"Could it be the Saintess of Nanliang?"

She still remembered that Shen Chenli had told her before that Nanliang was headed by the patriarch and respected the saint. Could it be the saint of Nanliang?

Shen Chenli denied this answer and turned to look at her.

"I remember that the current Saint of Nanliang has not abdicated yet. She should be nearly forty years old now, but..."

Shen Chenli frowned, "It is possible that Nanliang has replaced the Saint."

But he remembered that in the past, when Nanliang changed the saint girl, it would be announced to the world and stated in the tribute. But this year, there was no such announcement. Instead, it was very low-key. While other countries were making a fuss, Nanliang was indeed very quiet this year!

Perhaps it is this quietness that is so unusual.

Thinking of the news he had received before, Yu Tingwan felt a little worried. Since the emperor had allied with the other four countries, it was impossible that Southern Liang would not be silent.

At this time, a woman from Southern Liang quietly entered the border town. She was skilled in poisoning and happened to poison the person who was monitoring them.

Wouldn't this alert the enemy? Unless they have already...

Yu Tingwan was suddenly startled, fearing that something was wrong!

"not good!"

Shen Chenli looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"If she had already discovered our people, why didn't she just sit back and do nothing like before? Instead, she poisoned them specifically to alert us?"

Unless what they wanted to do has been done!

In an instant, everyone in the temple understood something.

What are the people of Nanliang best at? Poison!

Therefore, the people in the border towns are likely to suffer.

Shen Chenli's face suddenly turned pale and he ran out.

"I will arrange for someone to go to the border town now."

He turned around but paused, looking at Lu Cheng and the old valley master who were treating the patient over there.

"Valley Master, we're sorry to bother you here. Lu Cheng, get ready to follow us!"

"Yes!"

Yu Tingwan hurriedly said: "I'll go too!"

After saying that, he immediately walked towards the old valley master and handed the medicine bottle in his hand to him.

"Old Valley Master, this is the antidote I prepared. You can use it directly if you need it!"

The old valley master's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded, took the medicine bottle from her hand, and waved his hand:

"Go ahead, go ahead. I'll take care of this place. Just go with peace of mind!"

Yu Tingwan didn't have time to tease the old Valley Master at the moment, so he quickly followed Shen Chenli away.

When I got outside, I found that Song Shixu had already ordered a team of people to be on standby.

Yu Tingwan didn't say hello. Seeing Shen Chenli coming over, he pulled a horse and left the camp with him.

The entire team rode at full speed towards the border town and soon arrived at the city gate.

When the people saw a group of soldiers coming, they stopped and looked over. When they saw that it was a team led by their prince, they immediately opened the entrance to the city gate.

"Leave a few people to guard the city gate!"

"Yes!"

A group of people entered the city and went to the inn where the two men were staying, but they met Chen Lin who was coming out of the inn at the door.

"Have you caught anyone?"

Chen Lin shook his head, looked at Shen Chenli and reported:

"Your Highness, when I came here, the people had already left. I asked the waiter and the shopkeeper inside, and they said that the two people checked out this morning. As for where they went, they didn't know, and they didn't find anything unusual."

These words made everyone look unhappy. If they didn't find the people quickly, they might not even know their purpose.

"If we search the whole city, we will find him eventually!"

Song Shixu gave an idea, but he also knew that this method might not work.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to find them for a while now. The most important thing is to confirm whether they have..."

"Your Majesty, something happened in the west of the city. The people there suddenly started to vomit and have diarrhea. Some of them didn't even have time to go home..."

Shen Chenli said in a deep voice: "Send a team to search for those two people, and the rest of you can go."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A group of people quickly rushed to the west of the city, and just as the soldier had just said, even the ground was now filthy.

Yu Tingwan saw a child stumbling towards them and immediately dismounted and stopped him.

"What are you doing? Let me go! I can't bear it anymore!"

The child was startled and couldn't hold back his anger for a moment, and a foul smell rose into the sky!

Feeling the change in himself, the child's face immediately turned red. He was struggling to run, but was held down by Yu Tingwan.

"do not move."
