Chapter 638 - Xiao Rongs Help (2/2)
If they could truly open a medicine stall at the mutual marketplace, a stall that actually sold medicines from the Yu Family, then the commoners of the tribe would regard him even more highly. Thus, his position within the tribe would become even more stable and a.s.sured! Furthermore, he had already been planning on returning the favor to her, so even without this benefit he wouldn’t just stand aside and watch her land into hot water. Xiao Rong immediately ignored the words Heavenly Teacher Lei had said and didn’t fall into temptation.
“Warriors, for the sake of the miracle medicines, for the sake of preventing sickness from taking our wives and children away from us, protect the royal princess!” Xiao Rong forcefully waved his arm as he trumpeted loudly. All of the men beneath him enthusiastically shouted, “Yes!”
The hundred of valiant warriors from the Tuha’erhanbu gathered around Yu Xiaocao’s group, protecting them tightly within the middle. They brandished their weapons towards the troops from the foreign tribes that were under Heavenly Teacher Lei. An immense battle was about to begin!
Lei Tengfeng was so angry that he almost broke a tooth from clenching his jaw so hard. He silently cursed the eighteen generations of Chief Xiao Rong’s family. If that man hadn’t suddenly appeared, Royal Princess Jinan would already be safely ensconced away in his hands.
With her on hand, then the secret behind the special horse fodder at the stud farm would be easily found out. Once he investigated the secret within the fodder, then extracted what he needed to make sure that it wouldn’t harm humans, he was absolutely certain he’d find an ingredient to prolonging life. Perhaps, once he understood this ingredient’s properties, he would truly be able to make the legendary immortality elixir!
After making secret investigations, he was certain that this special fodder was closely linked to the young maiden who was by that cold royal prince’s side. As expected, as soon as he set a devious poison at the stud farm, the imperial court immediately sent Royal Princess Jinan out to fix it.
However, he had miscalculated. The current emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty was a shrewd and clever one. He had sent out a fake royal princess out to draw away the vast majority of men under his command. Furthermore, the real princess had been disguised and had almost arrived at the stud farm. If it weren’t for the fact he had treated that bearded idiot’s gunshot wounds, he would have never realized the switcheroo.
However, from the way things looked now, if they decided to battle them head on, it was unlikely that he’d have an easy victory. Even if he managed to kidnap Royal Princess Jinan, he would have to pay a high price to do so. On the other hand, he really didn’t want to let this opportunity slip away! It was time to fight!
With one word from Lei Tengfeng, the battle began! Chunhua, Qius.h.i.+ and the other four hidden guards had surrounded Xiaocao and her two good friends, keeping them safe within a tight circle. Xiao Rong also went into a protective stance by her side. Thus, the fighting spread like a wildfire while Xiaocao was in the safest area.
“Oh no! This sneaky fellow is actually using poison now!” Ning Donghuan had been ordered by his second older brother to not enter the battlefield but he was quite antsy at this moment. However, as soon as he saw the people on their side inexplicably fall over one by another, he remembered that Xiaocao had once mentioned that this despicable fellow knew how to make poison. He immediately became incensed and exclaimed his findings.
Xiao Rong watched as his men and horses slowly fell down to the ground. The stronger ones didn’t end up on the ground but they were still barely holding on. A s.h.i.+ver went through his body and he involuntarily clenched harder to the horse whip in his hands.
“Using poison? Who hasn’t used that before? Little Glutinous Dumpling, it’s up to you now! Let them experience what it means to ‘use one’s weapons against them’!” Yu Xiaocao obviously didn’t have any poison on hand. However, she had the little divine stone use its own spiritual power to cause a similar effect. The little divine stone’s cultivation level had improved again, so doing something like this was only a small appetizer for it.
Before Xiao Rong could figure out what this ‘Little Glutinous Dumpling’ was, a flash of golden light vaulted off his shoulder and went straight into the battlefield. As the tiny golden figure pa.s.sed the enemy troops, it left them staggering and falling down to the ground.
When Yu Xiaocao found out that her opponent was highly skilled at making poisons, she had prepared special detoxifying pills to bring along. She nodded her head towards Chunhua and the maid took out a few bottles of pills. She hurriedly disseminated them to He Wanning’s bodyguards as well as the other men fighting in the field. In an instant, she had become a ‘white clothed angel’.
After taking a single detoxifying pill, the warriors from the Tuha’erhanbu Tribe, who had previously been rolling on the ground in pain, immediately calmed down. A breath later and these previously poisoned men were able to stand up again. Within a quarter of an hour, it was as if they had never been poisoned. They picked up their weapons again and began fiercely fighting against their foes.
Lei Tengfeng watched this all with jealous eyes. He was very well aware of the effects of the poison he had made. Those who were misfortunate enough to encounter the poisonous gas would start rotting from within. Even his own antidote wasn’t as effective as the detoxifying pill that the other person had. What did this mean? This meant that Royal Princess Jinan absolutely had a special recipe on her and it might even be a legendary method from the ancient times to concoct medicine! His desire to capture her and steal this method away had risen by another hundredfold.
“Heavenly Teacher! It is not safe here, so this subordinate will escort you to retreat now!” One of the brave warriors watched as the soldiers from his side fall over one by one from an unexplainable method. Slowly, the tide turned against them. If this continued, then it was likely it would end in their total defeat. The most important thing now was to escort the Heavenly Teacher away safely!
“No! No!! That stinky brat absolutely has a heavenly concocting method on her hands. If I’m able to capture her, then I’ll become an immortal and the world will become mine!!” Lei Tengfeng had fallen into a frenzy as he was obsessed with obtaining this method. He howled like a madman.
