Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 176 The Extraordinary Person of Yue

Gu Qingyue and Bai Jingzhi returned to the wounded soldiers' camp and reunited with them.

After discussing it, the three decided that Gu Qingyue would go and refine the medicinal powder and pills, while the other two would stay behind to guard the wounded soldiers' camp.

The main reason is that the medicine she concocts is more effective. Although Bai Jingzhi is very reluctant to admit it, it is a fact that none of the pills they took out at the same time were as effective as Gu Qingyue's.

Gu Qingyue then returned to the General's Mansion and plunged into the pharmacy.

In the dense forest outside Nanchong Pass.

Mu Yun Chu sat by the river, one hand stroking the small crossbow in her hand, the other hand rubbing her forehead, quietly thinking.

The small crossbow that Gu Qingyue gave us was a huge help this time. It can't be described as hitting the bullseye every time; it's practically a deadly weapon!

It is steady, accurate, ruthless, and agile, making it easy to catch the enemy off guard and inflict heavy losses.

Remembering that Gu Qingyue gave it to him warmed his heart.

He had intended to return it to Gu Qingyue when they last met, but she said she didn't need it and insisted that he keep it until the war was over.

Let's take it with us for now; that way, she'll feel more at ease.

Behind him, a group of black-clad guards stood upright, silently awaiting orders.

For this trip to Nanchong Pass, Mu Yun Chu mobilized all the black-clad guards, the Dark Wolves, who could be found nearby. Apart from the seriously injured Mu Nan, Mu Bei and Mu Xi, who had previously been investigating spies in Lizhou City, were also present.

He is now waiting for news from Mu Dong, and he wants to catch Yue Zhiqi off guard.

Thinking of Yue Zhiqi, he can be considered a legendary figure.

He was the third prince of the King of Nanzhao. His mother came from the Hu Ben tribe, a commoner clan in Nanzhao. She was known as the Flower of Nanzhao because of her stunning beauty.

Later, she caught the eye of the King of Nanzhao. When Nian Yujiao was brought into the palace, it shocked many people.

From the moment she entered the palace, the Nanzhao Flower was regarded as a thorn in the side by the noble ladies from various prominent families.

Therefore, Yue Zhiqi's path to success, seemingly surrounded by admirers, was actually fraught with hidden dangers.

In particular, the powerful sorcerer clan that supported the queen openly opposed him, and secretly planted a very evil Gu worm on him.

Five years ago, the King of Nanzhao discovered this and flew into a rage.

However, in order to balance the various forces and appease the Tiger Warriors, he ordered the Grand Wizard to regularly provide Yue Zhiqi with the antidote.

This incident was the catalyst for Yue Zhiqi and his mother's clan to rebel against the Queen and the Great Wizard's clan.

At that time, Yue Zhiqi was suffering greatly from the Gu worms and searched everywhere for a cure but to no avail.

He once openly swore before the King of Nanzhao that he would completely eradicate the clan of great shamans, so that they too would experience the agony of being bitten and having their flesh sucked by venomous insects day and night.

At this point, they had completely broken off relations with the Great Wizard Clan.

Afterwards, with the tacit approval of the King of Nanzhao, he quickly established his own Tiger Warriors, especially a valiant Tiger Warriors assassination squad that he secretly trained. Within five years, it became famous far and wide.

This made the King of Nanzhao look at him with new respect.

However, the Hacha clan, from which the queen was born, was already valiant, not to mention they also had the support of the powerful shaman clan that controlled nearly half of the Nanzhao royal family's power, putting the Nanzhao king in a dilemma.

Although he wanted to support Yue Zhiqi, he also cherished the power he held even more.

To appease both sides, the King of Nanzhao decided to hold a heavenly sacrifice on the day of the awakening of spring the following year.

The idea was to resolve the conflict between the two sides through the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, but the true purpose behind it was unknown to anyone except the King of Nanzhao.

Mu Yun Chu pondered the news she had received about the Nanzhao Kingdom and Yue Zhiqi over the past few years. Deep down, she felt sorry for Yue Zhiqi, thinking that it was a tragedy for him to have such a father.

But when I think about myself, am I not the same?

Suddenly, a figure flew over from afar. Mu Yun Chu stood up and saw Mu Dong approaching, shrouded in twilight.

The two whispered to each other for a while, then Mu Yun Chu waved her hand, and her dark-colored outfit disappeared into the dense forest first.

The next day, Gu Qingyue got up very early.

After breakfast, I stepped out of my room and was so shocked by the scene outside that my legs almost went weak.

It was the brothers Gu Yuanming and Gu Yuanchen, staring intently at him. They were standing silently at his door early in the morning, which was quite frightening!

She straightened her small body as much as she could, nodded to the person who came in, and coughed.

Before they could speak, she uttered a sentence that would be the subject of ridicule for many years to come: "Men should not touch each other!" and puffed out her chest as she did so.

"cough------"

"Cough cough cough-------"

Upon hearing this, the two tall men standing guard outside the door nearly coughed up their lungs.

Although Gu Yuanchen was still using crutches, it didn't stop him from coughing so violently.

"Dr. Gu has misunderstood," Gu Yuanming quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

As he spoke, he stared intently at Gu Qingyue's eyes and brows, as if trying to stare a flower into her face.

The two brothers were extremely excited after hearing what their second brother said last night.

I waited here early in the morning to ask about the situation, but I was completely taken aback by Gu Qingyue's words.

Gu Qingyue blushed. Why did she blurt out such a silly thing in her haste?

The two brothers' aura and eyes were truly terrifying, like wolves and tigers.

She felt that the two men would pounce on her and tear her to shreds at any moment.

“We are actually-----”, Gu Yuanchen tried to explain.

Gu Qingyue raised her hand to stop him, "I was sleepwalking and forgot what I said," and then quickly slipped away.

"General!" Suddenly, a soldier's voice came urgently from outside the courtyard, stopping the two brothers from following Gu Qingyue.

"There's been some unusual activity at the Nanzhao camp outside the pass," the soldier said breathlessly. The two brothers exchanged a glance and quickly followed the soldier to the front yard.

Gu Qingyue slipped into the pharmacy and looked outside. Fortunately, they hadn't followed her.

She must be out of her mind. Why would she say something like that?

A cry of an eagle rang out overhead.

Gu Qingyue looked up and saw the adorable gyrfalcon land at the entrance of the pharmacy.

She quickly went over, picked up the little one, and took him into the pharmacy.

After taking the note and reading it, Gu Qingyue pondered for a moment and made a decision.

As Gu Qingyue was pondering, she felt an itch in her palm. Looking down, she saw that the guy was rubbing her right palm in a very fawning manner.

Gu Qingyue paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

This guy must be the one who remembered the chicken leg that appeared out of thin air in his palm last time.

Ha, it's really become a spirit?

After feeding the little guy some meat and watching it fly away, Gu Qingyue immediately threw herself back into her pharmaceutical business.

Of course, how could Zhao Yushan, as the commander-in-chief, not know that such a gyrfalcon had flown into the general's mansion? However, he knew it belonged to Gu Qingyue, so he simply let it go unchecked.

Gu Qingyue didn't care about any of that. She hadn't done anything wrong, and she wasn't a spy, right? She wasn't afraid.

As evening approached, Gu Qingyue sent all the pills and powders she had made to Bai Jingzhi before going into her room.

Once it gets dark, that's when she'll make her move; once she's up to something, no one can stop her!

There's a saying, isn't there? A life without causing trouble is empty. How can she just stay here making pills?

Being so close, it wouldn't be her style not to seize the opportunity to mess with the Nanzhao people.

At least give the original owner, who has already left this world, some vindication!

Gu Qingyue took out the night clothes she had prepared beforehand, and covered her face with a cloth, leaving only her burning eyes exposed.

At the foot of the mountain twenty miles outside Meng County, Gu Qingyue had just stood still when Yue Ling and Yue Ran appeared behind her.

"Lord of the Pavilion," the two bowed respectfully.

"Let's go," Gu Qingyue said decisively.

As they walked up the mountain path, the dense forest soon concealed the three of them.
