I have a dual system of medicine and poison

The content of the invitation letter informed Wang Naya that she would attend the annual ceremony held in the Southern Domain Royal City in more than a month. The ceremony would have a list of talented people and beauties, and the invited participants had to prepare a program and perform on stage.

At that time, judges will score the participants based on their performances, and the beauty list will give scores based on the contestants' all-round situations. In the end, the contestant with the highest total of all scores will be the top of the beauty list, and so on.

The first place winners of the Talent List and the Beauty List can be personally received by the King of the Southern Region and can request what rewards they would like to receive, but they cannot make excessive requests.

The second place winner will receive a bounty of nine hundred taels.

The third place winner will receive a bounty of eight hundred taels.

The fourth place winner will receive a bounty of seven hundred taels.

The fifth place winner will receive a bounty of six hundred taels.

The sixth place winner will receive a bounty of five hundred taels.

The seventh place winner will receive a bounty of four hundred taels.

The eighth place winner will receive a bounty of three hundred taels.

The ninth place winner will receive a bounty of two hundred taels.

The tenth place winner will receive a bounty of 100 taels.

Wang Naya looked at the content of the invitation letter for the ceremony. She felt that there was a prize money for the Southern Region Ceremony, and she immediately became interested. She thought to herself:

"Perform dance and singing. If I can get tenth place, the prize of one hundred taels is pretty good! It's really nice to be able to see the world and make some money. Since I came to this strange world, I haven't been to any other place except Black Wind Mountains, Black Wind Town and here."

"I'll just use my free time to practice a dance, but I'll need to find a musician to accompany me with the music."

She has already decided what she will perform at that time. As a modern person, she cannot do without some talents. When she was in modern times, she was interested in singing and dancing, especially ancient style dance.

She really wanted to have the feeling of flying down like a fairy, but she had to use white silk as a tool, grabbing the white silk and swinging down, which was equivalent to modern wire ropes. Now she had internal strength, so she just needed a little luck to make her body lighter.

Seeing that his young lady was thinking while looking at the invitation letter for the ceremony, Yue Si did not disturb her and retreated to his seat and sat down.

After having some preliminary ideas, Wang Naya finally came back to her senses. She was going back to her room. She had to continue practicing her daily three-hour acupuncture. After a week when the internal force gathered in her dantian had increased a little, she would start using that time to practice dancing.

But she had to hire a musician to come and practice with her every afternoon.

In fact, among the people she knew there was someone who played the piano very well - Ouyang Mingyue. Ouyang Mingyue's piano skills were unique in this alien world. The name of Mr. Wushuang was not only because he was the wisest man in the world, but also because he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It was obvious that there were few rivals in his attainments.

She didn't dare ask Ouyang Mingyue to be her musician for the grand ceremony performance. What if she didn't say anything on the surface but was secretly against it? Wouldn't that destroy the relationship? So she decided to go to the music hall to ask for someone.

She has actually been a little hesitant recently about whether she should show her true face at home, and whether she should wear a veil instead of a mask when meeting Mingyue and Yueqi.

"Well, it's okay to show my true face at home. I can face Mingyue and Yueqi with my true face. After all, they are trustworthy people. But if I want to show my true face in front of outsiders, I'd better wait and see. I have no power or influence now. If this beauty is known to others and attracts bad people to covet it, I will be miserable. I have seen so many TV dramas that the beauty of powerless women is a death warrant."

"When I have trained my inner strength to a deep level, the Poison Gate Needle Technique will be able to play a great role. After I have practiced the Nine Steps of Divine Movement and have a certain ability to protect myself, I will try to go to some places without the mask and veil."

Wang Naya thought to herself.

Although women dress up to please themselves, their lives are still more important.

After a while, she didn't think much about it. After returning to the room, she started practicing acupuncture again. Today, she was able to gather more energy into her dantian, and her internal strength could help her perform more acupuncture techniques.

"call out--"

"call out--"

Fast, accurate, and ruthless! Now when she uses her internal force to launch a strike, the effect she achieves is very good.

I am very happy to see that I have gained something. Just proceed step by step. It is not entirely due to the system that I traveled here. There is no such system that can learn peerless skills by just hanging up. I have to practice hard and become stronger slowly.

Of course she also wanted to have that kind of cheat training system, but the problem was that there wasn't one! Ahahahaha, she laughed awkwardly.

Just practice diligently.

After seeing their young lady return to her room, Yue Si and Yue Wu began to write letters to Ouyang Mingyue. After finishing, they rolled up the letters, put them in a small bamboo tube, tied them to the feet of a carrier pigeon, and then released it.

The carrier pigeon flapped its wings vigorously in the dark night and flew towards Qingwu Villa.

Ouyang Mingyue was able to relieve some of his homesickness by receiving carrier pigeons from Yue Si and Yue Wu every day. However, he would not go to Tianxianju to see her every day as this would cause trouble to her.

Yue Si and Yue Wu mentioned in the letter that Yu Yan would go back to her room after dinner every day and rarely went out shopping and playing like other girls. Ouyang Mingyue knew that she must be busy making potions. He knew that she worked very hard.

The carrier pigeon flew for more than ten minutes and landed on Ouyang Mingyue's study window.

When Yue Qi saw this, he immediately stepped forward, opened the bamboo tube on the pigeon's foot, took out the letter inside, and handed it to Ouyang Mingyue.

"Master, this is a letter from Tianxianju."

Yue Qi said that he was able to recognize that the letter was from Tianxianju because there was a word "Tian" written on the outside of the bamboo tube containing the letter.

Ouyang Mingyue took the letter and opened it to take a look.

The content of the letter was: I received an invitation to the grand ceremony sent by the Lord of Yuncheng tonight, as well as some of Yuyan’s daily affairs today.

After reading the letter, Ouyang Mingyue handed the letter to Yueqi, who took it and read it again.

"Invitation to the grand ceremony? It must be the invitation to the annual grand ceremony of the Southern Region Royal City! We send you an invitation every year, but you never like to join in the fun."

Yue Qi said.

"Yuyan should go this year. The letter said that she pondered for a long time after reading the invitation. This year I will go as an ordinary manager of the First Building in Yuncheng."

Ouyang Mingyue said.

"Yes, I'll write to the manager of the First Floor and ask them to make the arrangements."

Yue Qi said.

"Ah."

Ouyang Mingyue responded.

He was going to go there as an ordinary manager of "First Floor" instead of as the behind-the-scenes boss of "First Floor". He wanted to keep a low profile this time, mainly because he wanted to accompany Yuyan.

If people knew that the wisest man in the world, Mr. Wushuang, was also going to attend the Southern Region Ceremony, it would be too chaotic. He is equivalent to a popular star in modern times, and if he were to attend the event, his fans would chase after him like crazy.

He hated this the most, as it disturbed his time with Yuyan.

He picked up the document he had just put aside and started reading it. There had been some problems recently and his attention was urgently needed.

"Master, I will go and write a letter first. I will come back later and ask you to take a medicinal bath."

Yue Qi said.

"Okay, go ahead."

Ouyang Mingyue said.

Yue Qi retreated and went to his room to write a letter to the manager of "First Floor" to ask them to arrange an identity for his master to attend the Southern Region Ceremony.

After Yue Qi left, Ouyang Mingyue rubbed his temples and wrote down a solution to the problem on a piece of paper.

Several businesses he operated in the Western Region ran into problems. Most of those businesses purchased goods from the Eastern Region, and they also brought goods from the Western Region to his businesses in the Eastern Region. When the caravan arrived in the desert after purchasing goods from the Eastern Region, they encountered sand bandits several times. The goods were lost and several of their men were seriously injured. This was something they had never encountered before.

For a month, all the goods coming in and out of his properties disappeared, so the managers quickly sent him an expedited letter, asking him to send people to deal with the bandits.

The guy was not killed because Ouyang Mingyue had previously instructed the managers of his industries that if an emergency occurred, the most important thing was to save his life, and if the goods were lost, they were lost.

This group of bandits must have recently gathered in that area, and they specialized in robbing caravans of passing merchants. In addition to Ouyang Mingyue's caravans that were robbed, all other caravans passing through there were also robbed.

The sand bandits had several hundred people.

Ouyang Mingyue could directly send a thousand people to suppress the bandits. He had thousands of soldiers and horses in the East and West Regions.

He raises his soldiers for a thousand days and deploys them for a moment. He has a total of 10,000 soldiers under his command in various places. They are all well-trained and skilled in martial arts. In particular, he has a hundred secret guards and moon guards, all of whom are first-class masters. At least one moon guard is assigned to manage each industry in each place.

He kept fifteen Moon Guards by his side, gave two to Wang Naya, and he had thirteen Moon Guards left at Qingwu Villa to protect him.

Ouyang Mingyue spread out the map and found the location where the goods were hijacked by the sand bandits. He observed the surrounding terrain and thought for a while, thinking of a strategy in his heart.

These bandits don't take lives but only seek money. They seem to be a well-trained team. Since they didn't kill anyone, they don't deserve the death penalty. It would be nice if they could be used by him.

He wrote the following countermeasures in the letter:

"Send ten Moon Guards and one hundred soldiers to pretend to be merchants from ten caravans, and send another five hundred people to ambush in the distance. When the bandits get close, light the smoke and capture a group of them. Then negotiate with them. If they are willing to surrender and serve him, they can receive a fixed amount of silver every month, and they don't have to live on the edge of a knife and rob passing merchants anymore."

"If they refuse to surrender, the matter will be handled by the embassy at the border between the East and West Regions."

After finishing writing, he put his hands on the table, tapped the table with his fingers twice, paused, and then tapped three times in a row.

After a while, a Moon Guard flew into the study room using Qinggong. He saluted Ouyang Mingyue and said:

"master."

"This letter is sent to Yue Shijiu in the East Region."

Ouyang Mingyue said as she picked up the written letter and handed it to Yue Liu.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Yue Liu responded, then took the letter with both hands, folded it carefully, and then rolled it up. After taking it, he used his Qinggong to fly out.

He wanted to go to the backyard where pigeons were raised and find the pigeon that flew specifically to Yue Shijiu in the East Region.

"found it."

Yueliu said after finding the pigeon.

He carefully put the letter in his hand into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's foot and tied it up again.

I fed the pigeon some food and then let it fly away.

"Go!"

Yue Liu said.

After finishing his work, Yue Liu immediately used his Qinggong skills to go back and report.

"Master, the carrier pigeon has been released."

Yue Liu said.

"Okay, you go down."

Ouyang Mingyue said.

"Yes."

Yue Liu retreated after saying this.

After dealing with this matter, Ouyang Mingyue started to deal with other things, but they were all some accounting issues and some industrial reports.

If there is a problem that they cannot solve, the shopkeepers from all over the place will list the problem in the form of a letter, and after Ouyang Mingyue reads it, they will write back to them with the solution.

An hour later, Yueqi came back and reminded him to take a medicinal bath.

"Master, it's time to take a medicinal bath."

"Ah."

Ouyang Mingyue responded.

He put down the pen in his hand, stood up and walked out.

After arriving at his medicine pool, he took off his clothes and entered the pool, while Yue Qi stood outside the curtain beside the pool and guarded it.

After a while, under the effect of the medicine, Ouyang Mingyue began to feel uncomfortable again.

He clenched his fists, leaned against the medicine pool, and gritted his teeth to endure.

"Well--"

"Yuyan..."

After enduring for an hour, he finally felt relieved, with beads of sweat still hanging on his forehead.

He stood up and walked into a pool of clean water on the other side to wash off the drug residue on his body. Finally, he put on his pajamas and walked out.

After returning to the bedroom, he sat on the bed and said to Yue Qi who was standing beside him:

"I have just written a letter to Yue Shijiu, giving him a solution to the problems in the East and West Regions. I want to subdue those bandits. If they don't surrender, I will hand them over to the embassy on the border."

"I think Yue Shijiu and the others will be able to complete the tasks assigned by the master."

Yue Qi said.

"Well, let's go to sleep first."

Ouyang Mingyue said.

"Yes."

Yue Qi responded.

He walked to his special little couch and lay down in his clothes.

Tianxianju——

After practicing acupuncture, Wang Naya left the room and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

With the help of a few older brothers, the children have less things to do and can go to bed early at night. They have all taken a shower and gone to sleep in their rooms.

When Wang Naya came to the bathroom door, she saw Li Guihua sitting at the kitchen door. In the past, it was little A Si who was waiting there, but now that the child was asleep, she was the one waiting. When she saw the young lady coming, she got up quickly and called A Huo and the other person who were washing dishes in the back to come and get the young lady a bath.

Wang Naya went into the bathroom and sat down. After a while, they began to bring her bath water. After Li Guihua finished pouring a bucket of water, Wang Naya stopped her and asked:

"Big sister, did Xiao Ah Si and the others go to bed early tonight?"

"Yeah, now that there are more people, the kids can't help much. They went back to bed early."

Li Guihua replied.

"Oh, I see. I plan to send the children to a private school nearby. Go find out tomorrow where there are private schools nearby and how much they charge. Come back and tell me tomorrow night."

Wang Naya said.

"Really? Miss! Did I hear correctly?"

Li Guihua said excitedly.

"Really, you heard it right."

Wang Naya smiled and said.

"Miss! I, Li Guihua, really have no way to repay your great kindness!"

Li Guihua knelt down while speaking excitedly.

She also thought about sending her children to a private school in the future. The young lady would pay her two taels of silver every month as salary, and if she saved it, it would be enough when the time came.

She had never thought that the young lady would actually offer to send the children to a private school. After all, with their status, it was a great blessing for them to be taken in and treated so well by the young lady. How could they dare to think of anything else?

"Hey! Come on, big sister, get up quickly, don't kneel."

"I like children very much. I originally planned to send them to private schools when things were more stable. Now that there are enough people in the mansion, I can send the children to school. Studying can really change one's destiny. I just want them to have more choices when they grow up."

Wang Naya said.

"Yes, yes, I really don't know what to say. I will tell the children to study hard and never let the young lady down."

Li Guihua stood up and said while wiping her tears.

Wang Naya smiled at her.

Li Guihua went out and continued to fetch water.

After the water was filled, Wang Naya closed the door, took off all her clothes, and walked into the bathtub.

"Ah~ I feel much more relieved now that I have arranged for the children to go to school. I hope that Big Sister can take care of things tomorrow."

she muttered.

After taking a shower, she put on her pajamas and opened the bathroom door. As usual, she saw Yue Si standing not far away opposite her. It was a familiar scene.

After returning to the room, she came to the bed and lay down. She would continue to practice hard tomorrow.

The evening breeze blew through Tianxianju, causing the leaves to make rustling sounds. Wang Naya closed her eyes, listened to the intermittent rustling sounds, and gradually fell asleep.
