Chapter 101 Chasing Beasts in Nanshan Paddock ([-])
Neither Imperial Physician Qian nor the other two imperial physicians had heard of Dizhi fruit. In order to earn some face, Imperial Physician Qian was the first to question: "Weichen has been studying medicine for decades and has never heard of Dizhi fruit. I have never seen any record of this substance in medical books.”

Xi Mu said: "The world is so vast that there are all kinds of wonders. What grows on the ground is Ganoderma lucidum, and what grows underground is Dioderma lucidum. Dioderma lucidum is already rare, and it is difficult to find records of it in ordinary medical books. It will take another 300 years to grow. The only thing that can bear fruit is this earthly sesame fruit."

"That's nonsense." Imperial Physician Qian said angrily.

Xi Mu said: "Your Highness is in danger now. Should you continue to quarrel with the common people, or should you let the common people save people?"

Doctor Qian was so angry that his face turned the color of pig liver. When Ye Lanchen glanced at him, he immediately buried his head like an ostrich. He didn't dare to say a word and instead made up his mind that the other party was a charlatan.

"Can this fruit really save people?" Ye Lanchen asked.

Xi Mu nodded, and then motioned for another boy in white to come forward and took out a bamboo tube and a wooden bowl that had been prepared. Then he put the Dizhi fruit into the bowl, and then poured the mountain spring water in the bamboo tube. Pour half of the bowl into the bowl, just enough to submerge the fruits. After a while, the fruits melt into the water and turn into concoction.

The two imperial physicians were deeply surprised when they saw this. Imperial Physician Qian dismissed this, thinking that the other party was using some tricks to show off, but he could only complain a few times in his heart.

Ye Lanchen glanced at the concoction in the wooden bowl and said, "If it doesn't work..."

"The common people are left to their own devices," Xi Mu said.

Not long after taking the concoction, Ye Qingran's complexion actually improved. Xiao Luzi was so happy that she shed tears and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

Ye Lanchen asked Eunuch De to arrange a place for Xi Mu to stay in the palace for one night, and Xi Mu happily accepted the order.Ye Lanchen asked someone to take Ye Lingxi back first. Seeing that Ye Lingxi insisted on staying, he let her go.

After a while, another guard came in and reported that Commander Wu and General Yan were back.Ye Lancen looked at the unconscious Ye Qingran, told Ye Lingjue a few words and left with Shen Ning and Eunuch De.

"Lingxi, you go back first, I'll just watch from here." Ye Lingjue said.

Ye Lingxi shook his head very insistently.

"Are you hungry?" Ye Lingjue said with a somewhat helpless tone.

Ye Lingxi shook his head again.

On the other side, Yan Jiang reported the tracking results to Ye Lanchen.He and Commander Wu caught up with the man in black. During the fight, the man in black used a prepared trap to escape, but his clothes were cut by the dagger thrown by Yan Fei. Waiting for Yan Jiang to retrieve the dagger inserted in the tree trunk At that time, they found some blood on the blade of the knife, and judged that the other party had scratched his left arm. Later, they found the night clothes thrown on the ground, and thought that the other party had probably blended in with the entourage outside the forest.After returning, Commander Wu immediately asked the guards to find the servants, maids, eunuchs and maids who were similar in size to the man in black, suspecting that the man in black was among these people.

After listening to Yanjiang's report, Ye Lanchen asked Eunuch De to show the dart to Yanjiang. Yanjiang recognized the pattern carved on the handle of the dart. It was an eagle wing, symbolizing the dead soldiers of the North. , and also recognized that the pattern was from three years ago, and speculated that the other party must have defected.

"Is there anyone in the North who can control birds and beasts like this?" Ye Lanchen asked.

Yanjiang replied: "As far as Wei Chen knows, there is no such thing." He paused and seemed to have some scruples. Ye Lanchen asked Eunuch De to step back first, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Jin Yi Hou Bai Jie?" Yan Jiang said.

Hearing this name, Ye Lanchen's eyes flashed with an obvious look of disgust.

"This person specializes in kidnapping children and training them to be killers. The leader of the killer organization is codenamed Feng Wang. This person can control birds. Back then, Wei Chen's eldest brother took Wei Chen and his soldiers to attack Hangu Pass and suffered a terrible death under this person's hands. Unfortunately, every move of the army could not escape the surveillance of the birds in the mountains and forests. As a result, the enemy camps were attacked one after another. Thousands of soldiers were lost before they even attacked the city. Later, the elder brother discovered the clues and used the thick smoke to Smoked away the following birds. After breaking through Hangu Pass, Bai Jie, the Marquis of Jinyi who was guarding here, was recalled to the palace. Due to the defeat, he was given poisoned wine to commit suicide. Bai Jie refused and died in the palace. He was surrounded and killed. His followers He was also captured in one round. King Feng was captured during the siege and was imprisoned in a secret death row. It is not certain that this person escaped later. However, judging from the confrontation, the man in black should be no more than two years old. [-]. If this ability to control birds was learned from King Feng, the two of them are likely to be masters and apprentices. However, we need to further investigate and verify whether this person is a dead soldier from the North."

Ye Lanchen thought for a moment and said, "There is no need to alarm Zhenbei King for the time being."

"Weichen understands." Yan Jiang mentioned another matter, "Weichen's investigation into Pengcheng a few days ago may also be related to Jin Yihou. Bai Jie's famous witch doctor has been studying a kind of poison. After taking it, it can close the five senses and cause no pain, making it a perfect killing weapon. Bai Jie tried to use it to create a magic weapon. After Hangu Pass was breached, Bai Jie was defeated and escaped. Wei Chen caught the witch on the way to pursue. Doctor, in order to survive, this person confessed the secret of Bai Jie's poison experiment, and took the initiative to take Wei Chen to the experimental site hidden underground. This person pretended to cooperate and secretly triggered the mechanism to escape, and also took away a man who was imprisoned in the iron. The child in the cage, Wei Chen remembered that the child had a gray pupil in one eye, and the prisoner brought back by Pengcheng last night also had a gray pupil. Wei Chen suspected that this prisoner was the child from back then."

Hearing Hui Tong, Ye Lanchen's expression moved slightly. Yanjiang paused for a moment. Seeing that Ye Lanchen didn't speak, he continued: "Wei Chen also found out that the Yangshengtang is just a cover. The orphans sent to the Yangshengtang are sent to the Yangshengtang every once in a while. Time will be taken away by someone. Wei Chen suspects that the person behind it is related to the witch doctor. This person is most likely still conducting poison experiments. Previously, Wei Chen's second brother was assassinated on the way back, and the killer sent It is also related to the Yangshengtang, and Weichen suspects that someone in the military camp may have leaked the news."

"First check the inside of the military camp." Ye Lanchen said.

Yanjiang cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

One of Luo Jinxiu's personal maids was similar in size to the man in black. When the guards were about to take the maid away, they met with the firm opposition of Mrs. Dong Pingbo. So a guard came back and reported the situation to Commander Wu. When Commander Wu came over, he heard this. A lady of the house reprimanded the guard for not knowing the rules.Commander Wu himself explained a few words, but the lady of the house couldn't listen. It was Master Luo who came over to persuade his mother after hearing the news, and the lady of the house agreed to let the guards take the maid away.

When Mrs. Dongpingbo was putting on airs to prevent the guards from taking away the maid, a man in another tent poured some powder on his arm. The wound on his arm healed quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye. There was no trace of it at all. Showing signs of injury, the man changed into another set of clothes whose sleeves were torn by a dagger. Then he walked to the tent door and quietly opened the tent to look at what was going on outside. Then he walked out with his head lowered.
