Chapter 482 Poisoned

Despite her agitation, Yun Shang forced herself to calm down. She arranged the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner, writing down all the matters needing attention, and wrote a letter for the butler to deliver to Ning Qian and Lady Hua Guo.

The mansion's secret guards were also very efficient. Within four hours, all the stores in the city had been plundered. But there were too many medicinal herbs, Yun Shang only put them in detoxifying and anti-toxic pills. She ordered the butler to prepare a carriage to send the rest of the herbs to the Ya clan. She and Qian Yin had decided to ride a horse and hurry to the Ya clan as fast as they could.

Yun Shang was also worried about the false news. Or if some enemies knew that they were going to the Ya clan, they will ambush them along the was. So she asked Ning Qian to mobilize all the power in the state of Xia to assist them secretly on the way.

When everything was ready, it was getting dark. Yun Shang left the city with Qian Yin, followed by forty secret guards. She galloped on her horse all day and night until she arrived at a small town. Qian Yin frowned and persuaded Yun Shang in a low voice who was about to set off again, "Your Highness, the Ya clan is still far away. If we don't have a good rest, we will be exhausted before reaching it. If someone wants to hurt us, I'm afraid we can't fight back."

Yun Shang kept silent for a long time. She knew that Qian Yin was right, so she nodded and found an inn to rest.

In order to move easily to the Ya clan, Yun Shang, who was wearing men's clothes, still caused a stir in this small town. Unwilling to show her face outside, Yun Shang asked Qian Yin to send all the things to the rooms.

Qian Yin went downstairs and soon went upstairs. With astonishment on her face, she said, "Your Highness, guess who I saw just now?"

"Who?" Yun Shang was reading the Ya clan's information carefully. Hearing Qian Yin's words, she didn't raise her head but just asked casually.

Qian Yin came to Yun Shang and said, "I just saw Liu Yinfeng here. Mister Liu's carriage passed. I recognized hi

t dressed and set off. Then she mounted his horse and galloped towards the Ya clan. After about four hours, they entered a mountain forest. It was a hot summer day and the sun was scorching. Fortunately, the forest was so thick that it blocked much sunshine. It was noon when they climbed up the mountain. Yun Shang told everyone to get off the horse and rest for a while. She took some dried food from the package on the horse and drank some water from a stream beside. She rested for about an hour or so. When she was about to leave, Qian Yin suddenly frowned. "Your Highness, my stomach hurts."

Yun Shang frowned. When she was about to ask Qian Yin to find a hidden place to ease the pain, she heard several secret guards crying out of abdominal pain. She had a bad feeling, but she also found that some people were all right. She thought about it and bit her teeth. "I'm afraid the stream is poisonous."

Yun Shang never thought that the stream in the mountain forest was poisonous, so she was caught off guard. As she was thinking, she heard the sound of sand, as if someone was stepping on the thick withered leaves in the forest.

The others heard the sound too. They hurriedly said to Yun Shang, "Your Highness, leave now. We will stop them."

"Run? No one can escape today! " Someone sneered. Yun Shang frowned and ordered, "don't start a fight. Get on the horse and run down the mountain."
