The pharmacist from the State of Yan had been to the underground martial arts arena in the State of Zhao since over a decade ago. Princess Xinyang had never paid much attention to this person, or to the underground martial arts arena, to be precise.

With its constant fighting and killing, she lost interest after visiting once or twice.

After leaving the underground arena, the Yan pharmacist boarded a rather inconspicuous carriage, accompanied by four guards including the coachman.

Princess Xinyang didn’t understand martial arts and could not discern the depth of their skills, but according to the intelligence she gathered, the Yan pharmacist had been in the State of Zhao for so long without ever suffering any losses in the hands of anyone. Almost no one in the entire underground martial arts arena dared to challenge his authority.

"Follow him from a distance, don't let him notice us." Princess Xinyang instructed the coachman.

"Yes." The coachman answered.

There were many carriages heading to the west city gate in broad daylight, so even if they followed closely, it wouldn't appear deliberate. However, after pa.s.sing through the west city gate, they had to be a bit more cautious. However, Princess Xinyang was prepared, as her carriage bore the emblem of a post station.

The sky grew dark.

"It looks like it's going to rain." Yu Jin commented, looking at the sky outside through the carriage window.

Princess Xinyang nodded, "It's been stuffy since early morning, probably due to the coming rain. It's also fine if it rains. It'll make him seek shelter in that villa."

The carriage followed at a leisurely pace. As they approached the official road to Cangbei Mountain, the Yan pharmacist's carriage stopped.

Leaving the coachman to watch the carriage, the Yan pharmacist, accompanied by three guards, each carried a basket and headed up the mountain to collect herbs.

The Yan pharmacist's frequency of going out to collect herbs was not fixed, sometimes he wouldn't go out for a year, and sometimes he would be out for half a month. It had been almost six months since his last collection trip, so if they missed this one, who knew how long they would have to wait again.

After all, it wasn't easy to coincidentally find the herbs he needed to draw him out.

Princess Xinyang's carriage also stopped. Yu Jin peeked through the gap in the curtain, looking at the Yan pharmacist’s group, and said, "Princess, they've entered the mountain."

Princess Xinyang also glanced through the gap, "Good, they've entered the mountain."

The herbs had already been planted on the mountainside. To be honest, they weren't particularly rare herbs, just not common for this season. She had to put in some effort to buy them from others.

"Long Yi." Princess Xinyang signaled.

Long Yi swiftly darted out.

Princess Xinyang wasn't sure if the Yan pharmacist was the other State of Yan's force she suspected, so she needed to probe, and the first step was to lead him to meet with the Nangong Family.

The herb was planted halfway up the mountain. It wasn't long before the Yan pharmacist discovered it. He was overjoyed.

These herbs had to be dug up with the roots intact; otherwise, they would lose their effectiveness.

He took out a shovel and squatted down to dig up the herbs. Just as he was carefully putting the herbs into a box to place them in the basket, Long Yi suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Long Yi s.n.a.t.c.hed the box from him and bolted!

"Pharmacist! Are you alright?"

A guard hurried over.

Long Yi's movements were too sudden, causing the Yan pharmacist to fall on his rear end. With the help of the guard, he stood up, patted his pants, and said, "I'm fine."

After so many years in the State of Zhao, he was used to speaking the language of the State of Zhao, and the guards were the same.

"I'll go after him!" The guard said.

The Yan pharmacist waved his hand, "It's just a herb. Let it go. No need to chase."

Princess Xinyang waited in the carriage for a while but saw the Yan pharmacist continue to collect herbs with his head down.

Princess Xinyang: "..."

"He's at least a pharmacist from the State of Yan, if the herbs were s.n.a.t.c.hed, shouldn't he chase after them…” Princess Xinyang muttered, annoyed, “Just what kind of person is this?"

Yu Jin pondered for a moment and hesitantly said, "Could it be that Long Yi's movements were too fast, and he, um, didn't realize he was a person?"

A shadow flas.h.i.+ng by. Perhaps they mistook him for a mountain monkey.

Thinking this was a possibility, Princess Xinyang said, "Long Yi, go again... but slower this time."

Not fast, but slow.

Long Yi understood and went again.

He approached the Yan pharmacist very slowly, then reached out his hand extremely slowly, as if in slow motion, and s.n.a.t.c.hed the herbs from him.

Then he turned around slower than a turtle, lifted his legs slower than a seahorse, and looked back as slowly as a sloth.

As if saying to the Yan pharmacist:

“Come—catch—me—"

The Yan pharmacist: "..."

"Pharmacist!"

One of his guards whispered to him.

The Yan pharmacist shook his head, "I thought it was a monkey, turns out it's just a fool. Forget it, ignore him."

It was already pitiful enough to be foolish, why bother getting rid of someone who was clearly not right in the head?

Thus, Long Yi's second attempt failed yet again.

Princess Xinyang held her forehead.

Long Yi, can't you be a bit more normal?

"I'll handle this myself!" Princess Xinyang said solemnly.

Yu Jin looked at her anxiously, "Princess, how are you going to handle this?"

"Beauty trap!" Princess Xinyang said coldly, "I'll approach him, say I'm lost, and ask him to accompany me and take me to the post station."

Yu Jin scrutinized Princess Xinyang, "You don't seem like someone who would get lost."

Princess Xinyang glared at her, "I’ve been kidnapped by some fool, alright?"

Yu Jin forced a smile, "Of course."

You're the princess, you have the last say.

“Don't follow me!" She instructed Long Yi.

Princess Xinyang gracefully got off the carriage.

As an imperial princess, even amidst the chaotic mountain slopes, she remained steadfast amidst the tempest.

Princess Xinyang raised her chin, slightly lifted her skirt, and walked towards the direction of the hill like a proud peac.o.c.k.

The mountain path was rugged, and after just a few steps, she accidentally stepped on her own skirt. With a cry of 'Ah!' she tumbled down the slope, landing face-first in the mud with a mouthful of dirt!

Yu Jin gasped in shock.

Long Yi covered his eyes.

However, it was precisely this fall that caught the attention of the Yan pharmacist. He sent his men to check what had happened.

A guard found Princess Xinyang in the mountain gully; her jewelry was scattered, her hair was disheveled, with a head full of tangled mess resembling a bird's nest, and she was covered in mud from head to toe. She truly looked like a lady in distress.

"Someone fell at the foot of the mountain." The guard reported.

"Let’s go check it out." The Yan pharmacist said.

He went to the foot of the mountain and had his guard pull Princess Xinyang out of the gully. With her face covered in mud, she was unrecognizable.

The Yan pharmacist was skilled in medicine, but without permission, he couldn't just touch the other party’s body. He simply checked her pulse through her sleeve, "Pulse seems fine, but I can't be sure if there are any internal injuries."

After speaking, he looked around.
