The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Of course Xu Yao did not rush into the palace rashly. She just stood on the palace wall and listened with her ears pricked up. She knew that there were many masters in the imperial city.

So she only listened to the sounds from the outside to determine the location, and had a rough outline of the layout of the entire palace.

After carefully observing the terrain of the entire palace, Xu Yao went to explore the Wang family's ancestral home at night.

Wang Muzhi was probably frightened by her, so he hid in the Wang family's ancestral home under the pretext of showing filial piety to Grand Tutor Wang.

Compared with Wang Muzhi's house, the Wang family's ancestral house has three layers inside and outside. There are guards sent by the empress dowager and masters hired by the Wang family themselves, surrounding the entire ancestral house like an iron barrel.

But these people are still not as good as those in the imperial palace.

The Wang family’s ancestral home was not as big as the imperial palace, so Xu Yao could get into the home if he tried hard.

At first, she just wanted to find out where Wang Muzhi lived so that it would be easier to take action later. However, she unexpectedly discovered that Master Wang was not seriously injured and unable to get out of bed as rumored outside.

Xu Yao saw that he was in good health, had a voice like a bell, had a youthful face and white hair, and was stronger than Wang Mu's young nephew. Before going to bed late at night, he even found a beautiful concubine to serve him.

Xu Yao exclaimed that it was an eyesore that these rich and powerful people could not do without young beauties even at their old age.

I don't know who he is pretending to be sick for.

After a few more days, Zhuang Mu's goods were finally unloaded from the ship.

Liu Tong got off the boat with the goods and secretly told Pei Shuo that people from the Wang family would come to secretly load the goods at night.

The origin of that batch of pepper was unknown, so Wang Muzhi naturally did not dare to put the goods on the ship openly.

Under the escort of the bodyguards, Zhuang Mu's goods arrived at the Zhuang family's silk shop. The shopkeeper happily helped unload and count the goods. Liu Tong assisted at the side, but Zhuang Mu did not come back.

Xu Yao was a little confused, and took advantage of the fact that Wang Muzhi was not at home and quietly went to Wang Muzhi's house.

When Zhuang Mu saw her coming, he hurriedly said, "You came at the right time. I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"Wang Muzhi has gone into hiding at Grand Tutor Wang's house. There's a substitute hiding here."

"I know. I've seen him."

"Have you seen him?" Zhuang Mu was slightly surprised, but then thought it was nothing.

"The Wang family's ancestral home is now controlled by experts inside and out. It would be extremely difficult for you to move it."

Xu Yao was puzzled: "Wang Muzhi was staying at home well before, why did he suddenly hide in the ancestral home?"

Zhuang Mu sneered: "Why else? Of course you are afraid of death. You probably don't know..." He paused and glanced at the door.

Xu Yao assured him that there was no one eavesdropping outside the door except Old Man Qu.

Zhuang Mu said that this was a habitual alert. "Some time ago, a man came to the mansion. His surname was Zheng. On that day in Lanjiang Town, he and Wang Muzhi were obviously not on good terms. But when he came that day, I don't know what he said to Wang Muzhi, and Wang Muzhi hurriedly moved to the Wang family's ancestral home, saying that he wanted to serve Tai Shi Wang and show filial piety. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Xu Yao nodded. Of course it was ridiculous.

Wang Muzhi had not been to his ancestral home for several days since he came back, so he pretended to be a filial son and grandson.

But what he didn't expect was that Zheng Chi also followed him back. Could it be that his whereabouts were exposed?

If this is the case, it might implicate the Danyang Marquis Mansion. Xu Yao became nervous and planned to leave the Danyang Mansion as soon as possible.

Xu Yao thought about it and asked two more questions, "Huo Jiao has already boarded the ship, why is Wang Muzhi still imprisoning you at home? Does this mean he doesn't trust you?"

Zhuang Mu smiled and assured her, "Wang Muzhi needs me now. He is only waiting for my goods to be delivered to Da Zhou before he attacks me. I am still safe now. When you come back and kill him, they will drive me away without me saying anything about this place."

Xu Yao thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he still threw a dagger and a bottle of medicine to him.

"If things go wrong, you and Old Man Qu will keep them to protect yourselves. Throw the potion into the well and make sure that no one will wake up even if there is a thunder."

"What is this?"

"A drug that puts people into a sweet dream. People who take it will not wake up unless they sleep for three days and three nights."

Old Man Qu was very curious when he heard this outside the door: "Is there such a medicine in the world?"

The anesthetic drugs he had invented could make a person lose consciousness for a short period of time. As long as the person felt a little pain, they would wake up after being splashed with water. The effect was not very significant.

The medicines he used on horses were fine for horses in small amounts, but if humans took them, there was no guarantee that they would not become disabled.

Now, when I heard Xu Yao say that there is such a medicine that can make one sleep for three days and three nights without waking up even if there is thunder, I was very curious.

Xu Yao: "If you want to study it, I'll give you some more after we get out. This medicine is for you to save your life, so don't mess around."

Old Man Qu felt itchy, but when he heard her say that she wanted to save her life, he could only suppress the thought temporarily.

After Xu Yao returned, he told Pei Shuo about Zheng Chi.

When Pei Shuo heard Zheng Chi appear, he couldn't help but feel worried and nervous.

Although he did not have a head-on confrontation with Zheng Chi, Xu Yao was injured by him, which shows that he is not a good person.

Xu Yao didn't notice his worry, he just touched his chin and said, "What do you think? Should I kill him first and then deal with Wang Muzhi?"

Pei Shuo quickly stopped him: "This is absolutely not allowed."

"why?"

"This person is not only an Iron Guard, but also has a high status. Such a person is highly skilled in martial arts. Even if you can move him, I'm afraid you will be seriously injured. What's more, this is Panjing, and the second best martial artist in the world, Wu Sanlang, is also here."

Since Zheng Chi came to Panjing and even went to Wang's house to remind Wang Muzhi, it is obvious that he has other plans.

Maybe he had suspected Xu Yao for a long time and wanted to lure him into a trap.

At this time, Xu Yao suddenly showed up, and there was no guarantee that he would not ask Wu Sanlang to deal with Xu Yao together.

When these two join forces, Xu Yao may not be their match.

Zhao Xi also trembled when he heard Wu Sanlang's name. He advised Xu Yao rationally: "Don't be impulsive, that's Wu Sanlang."

Xu Yao couldn't help laughing, "I thought you heard Zheng Chi's name and you wanted me to rush out and fight him to the death."

Zhao Xi pouted uncomfortably, "I know that I was impulsive at that time and caused you to be injured. I am really sorry. But this time I am sincerely advising you, you must stay calm. Wu Sanlang is not an ordinary person. Even Yuan Qingzong does not dare to provoke him easily. Rumor has it that the old leader of Yuan Qingzong died in his hands, and no one has dared to seek revenge on him until now, which shows how terrifying his strength is."

Xu Yao raised his eyebrows and said, "If the second best in the world is already so powerful, then who is the best in the world?"

"The greatest martial artist in the world, he is the personal bodyguard of the Lord of Dingnan. No one knows his name. Rumor has it that he is called Wuming. He is a martial artist with great skills and can kill people with just a breath. Wu Sanlang once dueled with him and retired from the martial arts world. He became the leader of the inner guards of Beichen Palace, responsible for the safety of the Queen Mother."
