Was that man trying to harm her or Feng Linyuan?

Was it that assassin? Only he knew about the Yellow Jade Stone, and how to make the Liufeng lose control!

Who was that assassin?

Bai Zheng was furious like never before. No matter who it was, if they were to use her to injure Feng Linyuan, she would make that person pay the price!

”What's the antidote?” she asked coldly.

The Uncle Zhu thought for a moment, then said: ”There is a type of grass called the Bone-penetrating Herb. It was located in Phoenix Cry Valley, which was located at the border of Great Zhou and Great Zhou. A hundred years ago, there was a great fire that burned this grass to death. Only a few were left scattered all over the place. ”

”Where is this grass now?” Bai Zheng asked.

”This Bone-penetrating Herb can relieve pain, and can cure a hundred poisons. It is a top-grade medicinal herb, and the food of those who practice martial arts will increase greatly. Thus, once it is born, it will attract many people's attention. After a hundred years, there are no longer any traces of Bone-penetrating Herb in the world. ”

Soong Yiqing suddenly thought of something. ”If that's the case, then five years ago, the Gaochang Marquis swept through the southwest and consecutively seized three cities. Today, His Majesty has given him an order and bestowed him with quite a few things.”

Uncle Zhu stroked his beard and nodded, ”Although the items obtained by the Gaochang Marquis have many gold, silver and jewelry, but one herb is the most precious.”

”The Bone-penetrating Herb is in Mansion of Gaochang Marquis.” Bai Zheng understood in her heart, ”It's just that the reward has already been five years. How can I ensure that the Gaochang Marquis has not eaten the grass yet?”

A smile appeared on Uncle Zhu's wrinkled face.

”Gaochang Marquis is a well-known filial son. The previous Marquis went to see him early, and he was raised and raised by the Wife of Departed Marquis. After that, Wife of Departed Marquis suffered from a serious illness, and after searching for many famous doctors, all of them said that there was no cure, but there was a hidden expert who saw it and said that the Bone-penetrating Herb could alleviate Wife of Departed Marquis's symptoms, thus, once he received the reward, she brought the Bone-penetrating Herb over to Wife of Departed Marquis. But unfortunately, Wife of Departed Marquis was unable to wait for that moment, and died on the way over here from the Gaochang Marquis. ”

”Then this Bone-penetrating Herb could it be that it was buried with the Gaochang Marquis in the Wife of Departed Marquis's Tomb?” Bai Zheng asked worriedly.

The Uncle Zhu shook his head and replied with certainty, ”This is a gift from Your Majesty. And according to Gaochang Marquis's filial piety, the Bone-penetrating Herb must still be inside the Mansion of Gaochang Marquis. ”

”But the guards of this Mansion of Gaochang Marquis are famous for being strict.” Soong Yiqing was at a loss.

The Gaochang Marquis did not have a good relationship with Feng Linyuan in the first place, and the Bone-penetrating Herb was a gift from him, so if he were to borrow it from the Wife of Departed Marquis openly, the Gaochang Marquis would definitely not give it to him.

But if he tried to steal it …

If it were any other palace, it would be fine. But this Mansion of Gaochang Marquis was the same as the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis Feng Linyuan resided in, they were all manors of the families of generals under Feng Linyuan's command, and they were all dukes because of their military merits.

”Let this subordinate investigate.” Mo Lee who was standing quietly at the side suddenly said.

”Absolutely not.” Bai Zheng suddenly thought of something and shouted.

Mo Lee's dark eyes swept over her. Soong Yiqing's puzzled voice followed: ”Why?”

She knew better than anyone that the Mansion of Gaochang Marquis was heavily guarded, because the moment she returned to the Yongding City, it set off a night of turmoil in the imperial palace. Bai Zheng had joined hands with Bai Yizhang to provide the General Mansion Dark Guard, and had sent a corrupt letter to almost every single minister's residence in the area.

Only no Mansion of Gaochang Marquis nor Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis were cast.

Bai Heng had warned her before that although Bai Yizhang was the only great general in the Yongding City, if she were to compare with the two marquises, the Dark Guard of the General Mansion would not even be able to get close to them before they would be pierced by thousands of arrows.

Although she did not know whether or not the people from Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis would have a better chance of winning when compared to the people from Mansion of Gaochang Marquis, she did not know.

However, at this critical juncture, there was no room for mistakes.

Bai Zheng thought for a moment, then slowly said: ”This time, we have to steal the Bone-penetrating Herb, and ensure that it hits promptly. If it's just a probe, it will alarm the Mansion of Gaochang Marquis and the guards will become even tighter, which will only make up for the loss. ”

”What do you mean?” Soong Yiqing asked.

Bai Zheng lowered her eyes in hesitation, but made up her mind in the end. She raised her head and said: ”Tomorrow, Mansion of Gaochang Marquis will be my wedding guests, at that time, there will be a lot of people coming and going, and it's the best time to steal the Bone-penetrating Herb.”
