Chapter 174 These poisons are useless against me

"Who's going to stop it?" Ye Qingshuang chuckled lightly. "The entire empire is like this; nobody's going to stop it."

“It shouldn’t be like this,” Baijiu said. “If the entire empire is like this, it will be difficult for the empire to maintain itself.”

"Difficult?" Ye Qingshuang looked at Baijiu: "Your uncle has protected you very well."

From a normal person's perspective, the Lan Yue Empire was so absurd that it should have been swallowed up long ago. But in reality, this was not the case. The Lan Yue Empire was not only not swallowed up, but it was getting better and better.

Lan Yue of Qizhou is famous for its beautiful women, renowned throughout the nine regions and seventeen states. The beauties cultivated by Lan Yue are not only sent to the other major empires of Qizhou, but also to other states.

The beauties sent away would be exchanged for the protection or resources of other empires. If those beauties were sent away voluntarily, it can only be said that they each had their own motives.

But how many people are willing to be given away to be abused, willing to leave the land where they were born, to be separated from their families, and never be able to see them again in this lifetime?

After hearing what Ye Qingshuang said, Bai Jiu moved his lips, wanting to say something but unable to speak.

It shouldn't be like this.

My uncle once said that the royal family should set an example in protecting the people, rather than using the people to gain benefits.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If the royal family is not good and cannot ensure the people's peaceful life, it will be overthrown sooner or later.

Because of his eye condition, Baijiu rarely studied these things, but whenever his uncle mentioned them, he always emphasized the importance of the people, to the point that in Baijiu's mind, even an emperor should act in this way.

Ye Qingshuang didn't elaborate on this with Baijiu, and continued, "In the Lanyue Empire, there is no distinction between men and women, only between beauty and ugliness. In other words, we all need to be careful when we enter Lanyue."

After hearing what Ye Qingshuang said, the expressions on their faces were somewhat complicated.

“Then let’s disguise ourselves, but…” Ling Yi looked at Lin Xinze and Lin Chengtian: “Once we reach Lanyue Border City, you don’t need to stop. Go directly to the other empires.”

Ye Qingshuang continued, "The empire closest to Lanyue is the Yunchuan Empire."

"Okay." Lin Chengtian nodded: "However, if we take Little Golden Tiger away, you won't be able to move as fast."

"No need to go too fast." Ling Yi thought of the seventeen more times he needed.

This should be resolved within the Lan Yue Empire.

"Alright." Seeing that Ling Yi had made arrangements, Lin Chengtian didn't say anything more: "We'll leave when we reach Lanyue Border Town."

"Mm," Ling Yi replied.

...

Half a month later, Little Golden Tiger arrived at Lanyue Border City, dropped off Ling Yi, Ye Qingshuang, Baijiu, and the other two, and then flew away.

The three walked towards the city, with Ye Qingshuang following beside Ling Yi: "Really hard to disguise?"

Ling shook her head: "No." If she disguised herself, she wouldn't be able to make up the number of attempts.

"Alright." Seeing that Ling Yi was unwilling, Ye Qingshuang did not bring up the matter again, but instead said, "If you don't disguise yourself, be careful after you go in."

Ling Yihe responded with a "Okay".

Soon, the three arrived at the border city gate. The guards at the gate were immediately struck by their appearances, which matched Ye Qingshuang's description.

However, most of the guards simply appreciated beauty and had no ill intentions, but the eyes of a few were not appreciative; they were so sticky and disgusting that they were repulsive.

Ye Qingshuang gave the group an unfriendly look before entering the city.

After entering the city, the three of them attracted a lot of attention. Ling Yi reached out to support Bai Jiu and said softly, "Brother, don't be afraid. We've arrived in Lan Yue. I've heard there are many powerful people here. Surely someone can heal your eyes."

Liquor:"……?"

Bai Jiu had never acted with Ling Yi before, and for a moment he had no idea how to cooperate.

Fortunately, in the past two weeks, the silk covering his eyes has been removed, and as long as his eyes are open, ordinary people can tell that he has poor eyesight.

"I..." Bai Jiu didn't know how to cooperate, but Ye Qing Shuang reacted quickly and supported Bai Jiu's other hand: "Yes, brother, we have arrived in Lan Yue. No matter what the cost, we will cure your eyes."

Baijiu was supported by the two men on either side, completely at a loss, and could only remain silent as they supported him.

The three of them arrived at an inn and checked in.

Soon, word spread throughout the border town that three very handsome men had entered the city that day, and the two younger sisters said they had come to get their brother's eyes treated.

...

A knock sounded at the door. Ye Qingshuang went over and opened it. The waiter brought in the food they had ordered and placed it on the table. His gaze inadvertently swept over the room and saw Ling Yi making the bed for Bai Jiu, who was standing motionless beside him. When Ling Yi turned around, he almost bumped into Bai Jiu and called out, "Second Sister, come and take Big Brother over to sit down."

Ye Qingshuang's lips twitched almost imperceptibly as she instructed the waiter, "Put the food down and then leave."

The waiter smiled and agreed, then left the room after putting down the food. He closed the door behind him as he left. As soon as the door closed, the waiter turned around and saw the innkeeper standing not far away watching him.

The waiter rushed over, but before he could speak, the manager asked, "How is it?"

"They're making the bed; they should eat after they're done."

"Alright." The shopkeeper instructed the waiter, "Keep a close eye on them. These three are top-quality goods, and there must be no mistakes. Send them to the city lord's mansion tonight."

"Yes," the waiter replied.

Inside the room, once the door was closed, Ye Qingshuang put down her baijiu, walked to the food brought by the waiter, picked up her chopsticks, examined a piece, and then clicked her tongue lightly: "I haven't seen anyone rushing to their death."

Ling Yi sat down and picked up his chopsticks to eat. Ye Qingshuang grabbed Ling Yi's hand. She wanted to remind him, but fearing that someone might overhear, she gave him a look that there was something wrong with the food.

Ling Yi said casually, "I know."

"Then why are you still eating?" Ye Qingshuang reached out to touch Ling Yi's forehead: "You don't have a fever."

Ling Yi, speechless, removed her hand and wrote with her spiritual power: "These poisons are useless against me."

Ye Qingshuang also started writing: "Okay, but why did you deliberately put on an act for them?"

They even deliberately made her lower her cultivation level, so that two of the three of them were weak and one was crippled, but they all had decent-looking faces, which was completely a deliberate attempt to provoke people to attack them.

Ling Yi gave the same answer as before: "I want to kill someone."

Ye Qingshuang didn't know what to say, so she simply said nothing. She picked up two clean chopsticks, picked up the food and walked around the remaining two clean bowls several times, and then gave it all to Ling Yi: "This poison will affect us, so it's yours."

Ling Yi ate, and when she had almost finished, she looked at the two of them and said, "It's time to act."

They weren't good at anything else, but they were good at pretending to be drunk. The three of them sat down at the table and, disregarding their image, immediately slumped down, getting food all over their hair and faces.

After the two were ready, Ling Yi threw the bowl on the ground and broke it, then lay down.

Hearing the commotion, the waiter outside pushed open the door and came in. He found that the three people had fainted. He quickly summoned others, tied them up, and took them to the carriage in the backyard. Then he drove the carriage to the city lord's mansion.
