"What?" Old Mu sat up as soon as he heard, causing the wound on his back to tug a little. "How do you have this dicine? Did your mother send you with it?"
"Granduncle, please don’t ask where this dicine ca from." Yangyang thought it better not to let more people know about the power of the Poison Old Monster, so he said, "This dicine is really powerful, I even tried it myself. It’s just a pity that each person can only take one pill."
He thought it best not to ntion that a person could take three pills; after all, the Poison Old Monster had limited amounts of this dicine, and giving three pills to each person wouldn’t suffice.
Old Mu naturally wouldn’t believe Yangyang would harm him, so he imdiately tossed the dicine into his mouth and, after half a quarter-hour, felt a warmth emanating from his dantian.
"Granduncle, please ditate for now; I’ll step out."
"Mm, you go out first. Later, Granduncle will talk to you."
Yang Chuxia and the others were now living in a courtyard next to the Ning City governntal office, which the new Prefect had specially vacated for them.
"Did you give the dicine?" Yang Chuxia asked as Yangyang wandered in.
"I did, granduncle is ditating now." Yangyang pulled at Yang Chuxia and asked, "Why don’t you take it?"
"Silly, both your father and I practice external martial arts, we don’t have internal power, so how could it be useful to us?"
"That’s true, I forgot." Yangyang snuggled against Yang Chuxia’s arm, "Why doesn’t Mother give it to Uncle then?"
"Your uncle’s status is different," Yang Chuxia held him and said, "Even though he’s your uncle, first and foremost, he’s an Emperor. Anything the Emperor consus, whether food or dicine, must undergo various checks. If this dicine were given out, it would first be inspected by the Imperial Physicians, and once it reached the Imperial Hospital, this secret wouldn’t be kept."
"At that ti, it would result in two consequences: first, many people would co to ask you for this dicine; second, they’d inquire about its origin. If people found out it was made by the Poison Old Monster, who knows how many would co looking for trouble with him."
"Indeed, this dicine is certainly a treasure."
"Exactly, this dicine can be called a miraculous redy," Yang Chuxia smiled, "Even your Uncle Mu, who is called a miracle doctor, probably couldn’t concoct this. People’s desires are endless; if they knew of such a marvelous thing, do you think they wouldn’t fight over it?"
"Mother, I understand now, I won’t talk about this matter anymore in the future."
"Mm." Yang Chuxia gently patted his soft hair and continued, "Also, actions like what you did in Liao City shouldn’t happen again."
"Why not, Mother? I wanted to help them, is that not allowed?"
Yang Chuxia sighed, "The circumstances were special back then, so it was appropriate. But in the future, refrain from acting impulsively. You must know that the tall tree attracts the wind."
"And, no matter what, never reveal all your cards to others." Yang Chuxia embraced him and said, "Keeping a card in your hand ans one day you’ll be able to save yourself when in danger. Your martial arts are your trump card, and you must never let others know the full extent of your skills; even in a confrontation, rember to hold back part of your strength."
"Is that so?" Yangyang scratched his head, "Then I’ll listen to Mother."
"Good boy!"
In the early hours of the following morning, the sound of hooves could be heard outside Ning City.
After so ti, a group of n and horses had stealthily approached the vicinity of the Great Qi military camp.
As the expected ti arrived, the leading General remained motionless.
