Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Dong Tianbao's face darkened, and he turned into a horse-faced slump.

"Zhang Junbao! I've noticed you've changed. You never used to undermine me!"

Qin Han chuckled softly.

With these two brothers by my side, the journey wasn't boring at all.

"Let's go."

The two simple words stopped the two from arguing any further.

The three of them came out of the hall, but instead of going through the main entrance, they headed towards the side entrance of the Prince's Mansion.

You cannot use the main gate today.

Because A'Zhu had disguised herself as Qin Han and was sitting in the main hall reviewing official documents.

From the outside, His Highness the Prince of Shu appeared to be handling state affairs as usual, and everything seemed normal.

No one would have guessed that the real King of Shu was dressed in brocade robes and slipping out through a side door with his two brothers.

The brilliance of this deception lies in the fact that it doesn't require a particularly sophisticated scheme.

A'Zhu's disguise skills had reached the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing. With Yang Xiao and Xu Xingzhi assisting her in handling government affairs, even if someone had doubts, they wouldn't be able to find fault with her.

As for the women in the backyard, Cheng Ying and Qin Keqing will keep them in check.

Everything is under control.

The three walked through a narrow alley inside the palace, with high walls on both sides that blocked the view from the outside.

As Dong Tianbao walked, he asked in a low voice.

"Brother, which route should we take to Yangzhou this time?"

Qin and Han had already planned this out.

"We will travel by water. We will go down the Jialing River, pass through Hezhou, enter the Yangtze River, and arrive at Yangzhou."

"By water, it's three or four days faster than by land, and you're less likely to encounter bandits."

Zhang Junbao calculated the distance in his mind and thought it was not bad. The main problem was that if they went by land, he was afraid that some fools would rob them, and he simply felt it would be a waste of time.

"If we travel by water, it will only take five or six days to reach Yangzhou."

"Pretty much." Qin Han nodded.

After five or six days, we arrived in Yangzhou, picked up my mother and Aunt Nian, and then went to the capital to deal with Ao Bai's affairs.

It is estimated that it will take two to three months in total.

During this period, all the affairs, big and small, in Sichuan were handled by A'Zhu and her trusted confidants.

Fortunately, Sichuan is now back on track and there shouldn't be any major problems.

A moon gate appeared ahead; passing through it would lead to the area where the side gate was located.

Qin Han soon saw the people waiting there.

She was the first woman he had ever known in this world, Cheng Ying.

She stood by the side door, carrying a bundle in her hand.

The autumn morning breeze ruffled her hair, and a few stray strands clung to her fair cheeks.

When she saw Qin Han coming over, her gaze lingered on his face for a moment. She was probably not used to Qin Han's appearance of being in his thirties, but... but he was still so handsome.

"Brother Qin."

Cheng Ying's voice was as gentle as ever, but Qin Han could hear the reproach in it.

This girl probably already knows what she did to Wang Yuyan last night.

Feeling a little guilty, I coughed twice, thinking to myself that Li Qingluo had delivered this to my doorstep, and Wang Yuyan had made the first move. I am a young man full of vigor, so this cannot be blamed on me.

But it really was a lot of fun.

When I left this morning, Wang Yuyan was still lying in bed and couldn't get up. I wonder how she is now.

Cheng Ying handed the bundle in her hand to Qin Han.

"These are the undergarments that Sister Keqing made last night, along with some medicine that we might need on the road."

Qin Han took the bundle, weighed it in his hand, and was somewhat surprised to find that it was quite heavy.

"This contains quite a lot of things."

Cheng Ying did not answer directly, but bent down and opened the bundle halfway, pointing out each item to Qin Han one by one.

"This is the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill."

She picked up a small porcelain bottle with a peach blossom-shaped seal on it.

"It is made with morning dew from nine kinds of flower petals and rare medicinal herbs. It can invigorate the spirit and replenish qi, treat both internal and external injuries, and also detoxify and relieve pain."

"This is the Impermanence Pill."

He then picked up a small black medicine box.

"It's specially formulated to treat severe injuries and detoxify. Take one pill every seven days, and three cycles should be enough for a full recovery. What if you get injured outside..."

At this point, Cheng Ying paused for a moment, then quickly spat twice.

Qin Han didn't interrupt her cute demeanor and waited for her to continue.

"It's just... just in case I get injured, I'll take this to stabilize the injury."

Cheng Ying lowered her head and continued her introduction.

"This is Tianqi Shark Gallbladder Powder, for external application. It treats external wounds from knives and swords, stops bleeding, promotes wound healing, and relieves pain."

"The last one..."

Cheng Ying took out an exquisite little wine pot with peach blossom patterns engraved on its body.

"Peach Blossom Island's Drunken Immortal Honey. A secret-recipe honey wine that invigorates qi, calms the mind, harmonizes qi and blood, and is also effective in nourishing the body. You can drink some when you're tired on the road."

After the introduction, I put everything back into the bundle and tied it up again.

Qin Han carried the bundle, feeling a warm glow in his heart.

Cheng Yingzhen is a typical virtuous wife and loving mother. She may not say sweet words, but she is more dedicated than anyone else when it comes to doing things.

These pills and medicines were not mass-produced items bought from pharmacies; they were all made by Cheng Ying herself.

Especially recently, Cheng Ying obtained some pill formulas from the Xiaoyao Sect and has been consulting with Su Xinghe and Xue Muhua from time to time. Her expertise in medicine and alchemy has improved by more than one level compared to when she was on Peach Blossom Island.

Everything in this bundle was prepared by her with a great deal of time and effort.

"Thank you for your hard work, Cheng Mei."

Qin Han did not refuse, as it was all the other party's kind gesture, and tied the bundle around his waist.

Cheng Ying's eyes showed worry and reluctance, but more than anything, restraint. She was happy that she could come to see Qin Lang off, unlike the other sisters who didn't have the chance.

She wasn't as coquettish as Zhong Ling, nor as mischievous as Lu Wushuang and Yang Buhui, and she wasn't as clingy as Xiao Zhao.

Cheng Ying's way of expressing her feelings is to quietly do everything well, and then, when you set off, to put the best things into your hands.

Come back soon.

These four words were the most straightforward love confession Cheng Ying could utter.

"Don't worry." Qin Han smiled at her.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly remembered something and felt I should still check on things, otherwise I'd feel like Duan Zhengchun, who just left without a word.

"By the way, about Yu Yan... cough cough, Cheng-mei, please keep an eye on her today."

Cheng Ying's expression shifted slightly.

Qin Han noticed this change and felt uneasy.

really.

Cheng Ying's voice was filled with helplessness.

"This morning when I went to prepare medicine and mead, I happened to see Abi helping Yuyan."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Yu Yan was being supported, and she was swaying as she walked."

Qin Han: "..."

"When Yu Yan saw me, she turned completely red and almost fainted from embarrassment. It took me a long time to calm her down."

Cheng Ying looked at the culprit with reproach in her eyes.

"It's her first time, and you don't even know how to be gentle with her."

Qin Han coughed lightly and subconsciously offered an explanation.

"The situation was unusual last night."

"special?"

Cheng Ying looked puzzled. What was so special about this?
