The xieqing and the Nanling were thousands of miles apart. Why would their people want to go to the Miao Village?
Yan Xiao's brows furrowed. Today's Easternum was truly an eventful day, the Shen Ji Hall was in rebellion, and the vassal lords were restless. Now, even the xieqing and the were prepared to get involved.
At the moment, it was still unclear whether Ol 'Nine was still alive or not, and he couldn't afford to stay any longer.
After that, he left a group of people behind and led the other groups back to the capital.
In Miao Village, Yan Yuan was determined to leave this place as soon as possible to return to the capital, so he coordinated with them to rest and drink medicine. In this half a month, other than his feet that couldn't walk, there was also a place close to his heart that had been pierced very deeply by the assassin, and it had not completely healed.
From time to time, the pain was excruciating.
Duo Ya's father, Dong Dan, told him that he had been poisoned by the poison refined by the Miao Renlong, it would take a long time to cure him, and the poison would prevent his wounds from healing properly. Although Yan Yuan was anxious in his heart, when he thought about his wife and son who were still waiting in the capital for him to return safely, he kept his temper up and continued to heal them.
Dong Dan was a Witch Doctor from Miao Village. She was extremely skilled in medicine, but the way she treated them was different from the doctors in the outside world.
Yan Yuan couldn't understand, but he could feel that Dong Dan did not have any thoughts of killing him, just like that woman.
"Ugh …"
An extremely soft grunt came out from Yan Yuan's mouth, he withdrew his hand that was pressed on the wound on his chest with a pale look.
Yan Yuan was not sure what kind of poison it was, but he could feel that it was able to increase his pain. Even if he had only touched it slightly, it would have caused him to break out in cold sweat.
After taking several deep breaths, the pain slowly subsided.
Just then, the door to his room was gently pushed open, and Duo Ya's head sneaked in. Seeing that Yan Yuan was sitting on the bed, she giggled, and did not hide anything as he walked in.
"Big Brother, you're awake."
"Yes."
Yan Yuan nodded his head, although he did not reject her coldness, but it was also lacking in passion.
Duo Ya was the younger sister amongst the sisters. Unlike her elder sister, her facial features were similar to her mother's.
She had been staring at Yan Yuan's face the whole time, causing Yan Yuan to frown. Just as he was about to speak, Duo Ya had already rushed in front of him, with his pitch black eyes filled with novelty, "Big brother, I think you look a little similar to my mother. I've looked at you a few times, and the more I see, the more you look similar you look.
Hearing Duo Ya say that, Yan Yuan was startled, not because Duo Ya said that he looked like a young lady, but because he had said that ….
Hearing Duo Ya's words, he herself realized that she looked somewhat similar to Nuo Lan.
He was stunned for a long time as a familiar image flashed past his mind. Just as he was about to capture the image, he was interrupted by Duo Ya.
"After thinking about it for so long, do you also think that my mom is very similar to you?"
Yan Yuan frowned, he was unhappy that Duo Ya had suddenly interrupted his thoughts, but he did not say anything. Just at this time, Nuo Lan stood at the door and knocked gently, with the medicine in her hand.
Seeing Duo Ya sitting beside Yan Yuan, she revealed a displeased expression, "Duo Ya, are you here to disturb Big Brother's rest again?"
Duo Ya pouted, feeling wronged. "I was just afraid that big brother would be bored and come to chat with him."
In the next second, she looked back and forth between Yan Yuan and Madam Nuo Lan's face a few more times, the novelty in her eyes growing even stronger. "Now that the two of you are standing together, I feel like you two are even more similar."
Nuo Lan was also startled. She looked at Yan Yuan in astonishment and was surprised.
Taking a closer look at this young man in front of her, she realized that he was somewhat similar to her.
She stared at Yan Yuan for a moment and shook his head negative in his heart. It couldn't be such a coincidence.
She smiled apologetically at Yan Yuan, "Young Noble, don't listen to Duo Ya's nonsense. Come, drink the medicine first."
"Alright."
Yan Yuan took the medicine from Nuo Lan's wife. He did not think too much about what had just happened and only finished the entire medicine in one breath.
"Thank you Madam."
When he passed the medicine to Madam Nuo Lan, he casually mentioned it again, "From the looks of Madam's actions, she doesn't seem to be a person from Miao."
The hand that Madam Nuo Lan was holding onto suddenly stopped, and the expression on her face became slightly unnatural. This unnaturalness clearly entered Yan Yuan's eyes.
In the next second, she returned to her normal self and smiled. "I am a genuine Miao Renlong. I don't think Miao Ren would be like me."
"She speaks Mandarin, but she doesn't have the accent of a scholar."
"That's because when I was young, Danton used to take me out a lot. The more I spoke, the less my accent would be there."
She smiled at Yan Yuan, then called Duo Ya to follow her out.
Yan Yuan looked at Lady Nuo Lan's back, and sank into deep thought.
From Madam Nuo Lan's reaction, it was obvious that she was hiding something. Could it be … She really wasn't Miao Renlong?
However, since it was not Miao Renlong, there was no need for her to hide it. What sort of serious matter was this?
Yan Yuan couldn't understand, because with just a single sentence, he realized that Duo Ya was indeed very similar to Madam Nuo Lan, and that familiar feeling was also growing stronger and stronger.
However, the most important thing right now was to recuperate from his injuries and leave this place. Thus, at this moment, he did not think too much about it.
On the other side, Yan Xiao was about to head back to the capital. When he passed by the mountain range that was separated by the ocean and Miao Village, he stared at it thoughtfully and pulled the reins of his horse.
The team behind saw that Yan Xiao had stopped, and they too, stopped.
Seeing Yan Xiao still staring at the mountain, nobody knew what he was thinking. Everyone stood in their original positions and waited, and did not go forward to disturb him.
"Miao Shan …" "Miao Village …"
Yan Xiao lowered his eyes and muttered softly. In the next second, a light flashed past his eyes.
During the past month, they searched the entire sea, but could not find Ol 'Nine. Even if Ol' Nine was truly gone, his corpse would float up to the surface, but they had yet to find it.
This was the Miao stronghold that separated the mountains from this place. Perhaps Old Ninth had been saved by the people from Miao stronghold.
Even though Miao Village had very little contact with the outside world, it did not mean that they were truly isolated from the outside world. Miao stronghold had very rarely contact with the outside world, but it did not mean that they were truly isolated from the outside world.
What if Ol 'Nine was really in Miao Village?
