Chapter 399
No Antidote
Because her body was stiff, moving only that little was already hard for Ye Mu. But luckily, the dagger stabbed Min Liang’s hand. He pulled his hand away by reflex, and the next second, Ye Mu was back in Mo Linyuan’s hands!
Mo Linyuan’s internal energy was outstanding. That instant just now was more like teleportation, not giving any time for Min Liang to react.
Min Liang covered his bloody hand and took a few steps back, then was surrounded by the troops!
Left turn or right turn was a game that Ye Mu played with Mo Linyuan when she was bored. One person says left, the other person will have to lift their right hand. It was to test how fast a person reacted.
But Min Liang wasn’t aware. He was dead inside, seeing Ye Mu already in Mo Linyuan’s hands. Having lost his greatest trump card, he could no longer keep his composure. Eyes bright red, he glared at them!
Mo Linyuan also wasn’t in the mood to deal with him. His hands cupped Ye Mu’s face and carefully examined Ye Mu.
She was thin, her face was paler, eyes bloodshot. A glance at her and she looked like she suffered a lot!
Mo Linyuan tightly hugged Ye Mu in his arms. Although Ye Mu was untied, her body was still numb. She still couldn’t speak. She could only feebly lean against him.
He held her hand, and earnestly said, “Don’t worry, I’ll avenge you!”
So, his eyes indignantly glared at the arrested Min Liang, who unexpectedly didn’t resist.
Covering his hand, Min Liang smiled. “You think I lost? I’ll tell you. I fed Ye Mu drug. If you don’t have my antidote, she won’t live past ten days!”
As soon as Mo Linyuan heard that, he quickly stretched his hand out and grabbed Ye Mu’s wrist. He used internal energy to check and found Ye Mu’s blood vessels were blocked. She was indeed drugged!
Ye Mu thought in her heart, she reckoned she was drugged when she had her fever. Min Liang truly was vile!
No one knew what Min Liang was currently thinking, but right now, this drug was his last trump card.
After all, Mo Linyuan’s troops had locked this place down. There was not one civilian. Even if he stuck on wings he still wouldn’t be able to fly away, so right now he only hoped Mo Linyuan really cared about her.
“What exactly do you want?” Mo Linyuan hugged Ye Mu and then asked someone to call the imperial physician.
“It’s simple, let me go. This drug’s antidote is only in Li Country. When I reach Li Country, I’ll send someone to give you the antidote!”
Mo Linyuan laughed from anger. “Do you think me as a fool?”
After Min Liang went back, he would give the antidote? Impossible!
Min Liang clicked his tongue. “What you can do now is only to trust me, otherwise just wait and collect her corpse!”
Mo Linyuan narrowed his eyes. “No, there’s still one way.”
Min Liang suddenly had a bad feeling.
He heard Mo Linyuan say, “I can take you to Li Country and exchange you for the antidote!”
With this said, Mo Linyuan asked someone to seize Min Liang!
Min Liang wanted to resist, but thinking that everyone here was under Mo Linyuan, if he was determined to arrest him, it was useless to resist. So he was soon subdued by Mo’s people.
While bringing Ye Mu, Mo Linyuan ran into the border’s courier station to rest. After over a day, Ye Mu’s paralysis finally disappeared.
Only then did Mo Linyuan relax. The first words he spoke were: “Xiao Mu-er, don’t worry, from here to Yan Country is near. Yan Country and Li Country are fighting now. I’ll bring my troops to help Li Country, then take Min Liang to Li Country in exchange for the antidote. At any rate I won’t let anything happen to you!”
Ye Mu had not seen him for a long time. She nuzzled in his embrace and hoarsely said:
“Sorry, I’m troubling you.”
“Idiot, what nonsense are you talking about?” Mo Linyuan frowned, but deep in his eyes was an ache. “If it wasn’t for you, Mo Country’s war wouldn’t subside so soon. You are Mo Country’s hero, Mu-er.”
Ye Mu faintly smiled. “Your hero?”
Mo Linyuan resolutely nodded. “Also my hero.”
But there was something Mo Linyuan didn’t tell Ye Mu, and that was, after the imperial physician checked Ye Mu’s body, it turned out the drug in her body had no solution. That drug could make a person addicted until it could cause death. It was impossible to cure.
But what if there is a chance? Mo Linyuan didn’t dare to think deeply. Since this is Li Country’s drug, maybe Li Country really had the antidote.
Thus for the sake of Ye Mu’s body, after she got a little better, he set off with her. Their objective was clear this time. Help Yan Country fight Li Country!
At this moment, Li Country heard Min Liang was captured by Mo Linyuan. Everyone was agitated!
Until now, they went according to Min Liang’s plan. Now the mastermind was captured. Do they still have a bright future?
This mood affected Li Country’s troops. The high morale they had to destroy half of Yan Country was now eased down, giving Yan Country space to gasp for breath.
And then Yan Country heard Mo Country was coming to help them fight Li Country!
Hearing this news, Yan’s monarch did not believe his ears!
Because it hadn’t been long since Yan Country called truce with Mo Country. Normally, Mo’s monarch should be loathing Yan Country. How could they help Yan Country?
But Mo Linyuan led the troops. Many people suspected Mo Linyuan was thinking to seize the opportunity to annex Yan Country, leaving Yan’s monarch with no say.
But what time was it now? Yan’s monarch gritted his teeth, and let Mo Linyuan enter. And actually, if he didn’t, Mo Linyuan could just fight his way in and would be quicker than Li Country!
Later knowing that Mo Linyuan came here to avenge his empress, Yan Country was then relieved. In addition, they knew Min Liang had been captured by Mo Linyuan. With that troublemaker out of the picture, the situation should be easy to get under control, right?
But Mo Linyuan was not the least bit optimistic because these few days, Ye Mu had been suffering from loose bowels and vomit. Her condition seemed more critical than before. At this moment, there were only two days left from the allotted time of ten days, so when Mo Linyuan rushed to the battlefield, he dragged the tormented Min Liang for Li Country to hand over the antidote!
No one from Li Country knew Min Liang because he had been hiding in Yan Country since he was small. It was Li’s general who hastily came out after seeing Min Liang and cautiously asked,
“What do you want to let go of my country’s crown prince?”
Mo Linyuan didn’t beat around the bush and directly uttered the name of the drug.
“This sovereign wants you to hand over the antidote of Forgetting the Dust Fragrant immediately, otherwise, this sovereign will kill him in front of you!”
Hearing Forgetting the Dust Fragrant, the expression of Li’s general changed.
“Forgetting the Dust? That thing doesn’t have an antidote!”
Held down in front of the battle formation, Min Liang struggled. His expression said he wanted to speak, but the instant Mo Linyuan heard there was no antidote, he almost went crazy. He clutched Min Liang’s collar and took out the object in his mouth. Then he demanded word by word, “Where is the antidote?!”
