s of herbs, and top-tier merchant guilds have intricate ties with them. As soon as a herb is discovered, it is bought up before the news even spreads...Qin Sang heard this and secretly frowned, feelin...It is still late at night, but it's impossible to fall asleep.

Old Dao Yue said, "My Lady, the false emperor's minions are in hot pursuit and won't give up easily. This place isn't safe to stay long. We should leave tonight and travel all night, reaching Ying Shui County as soon as possible so we can meet up with the reinforcements."

Dongyang County Lord lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked Qin Sang, "Qin Gongzi, according to your understanding, how many assassins does Jiangshan Building gather in Sanwu City"

Qin Sang cautiously said, "To my knowledge, there are almost thirty people."

Donghua County Mistress nodded, “Let’s assume thirty assassins were sent. Qin Gongzi killed two of them, and only ten remain. This shows that our whereabouts haven't been completely exposed. Either the Jiangshanlou assassins weren't divided into groups, or they were wiped out by Granny Li and the others. Yue Lao, if we return to Sanwu City tonight, what do you think”

Elder Yue was greatly alarmed, "The county princess absolutely cannot go. San Witch City has already become a den of wolves and tigers. King Zhen Shui is very likely to defect to the usurper emperor. All other guards have been assassinated, leaving only a few of us. If we encounter an ambush, even if we fight to the death, it would be difficult to guarantee the safety of the county princess. We couldn't account for this to the king!"

"With a slight smile, the Eastern Yang County Princess said, 'To achieve great things, one cannot be concerned with personal safety. Even Lord Lian Yue dares not let me return to San Wu City, so the fake emperor's minions certainly won't expect it. As for King Zhen Shui, I believe he may not have pledged allegiance to the fake emperor. Otherwise, the fake emperor wouldn't need to resort to such underhanded tactics.'"

Before Yue Lao could speak again, Dongyang County Lord shook her head. "Yue Lao, there's no need to persuade me any further, my mind is made up. Bai Lianzhang, you and Zhou Hu衛 ride together on one horse, taking the injured arm with you, return to Sanwu City as quickly as possible. There are imperial physicians at Zhen Shui Wangfu, they might be able to reattach the severed limb."

Bai Jianglan hurriedly replied, "Yes!"

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

The horse was still there. As a woman, Lady Dongyang wasn't at all delicate. She swung herself onto the horse and rode non-stop until the early morning hours when she saw the north gate of Sanwu City.

As expected, I didn't encounter any assassins from Jiangshan Tower on the road.

Like the North Gate and South Gate, there was also a side gate open. Qin Sang knew his way around well and helped Dongyang County Lord and the others disperse and mingle into the merchant caravan. Only Shuihou's injuries were too obvious. Qin Sang found a secluded courtyard outside the city to look after him. Dongyang County Lord, Yue Lao, and Bai Jianglan went to see Zhen Shui Wang.

The water monkey, exhausted and wounded, fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Sang sat in the courtyard, waiting for the county princess's message, while keeping an eye on the outside movements and being ready to run at any time.

From the fragmented words of Dongyang County Lord and Elder Yue, Qin Sang could roughly discern the pattern. The pseudo-emperor they mentioned should be the current Emperor of Great Sui. Jiangshan Tower originally belonged to the emperor, no wonder they dared to assassinate the governor in broad daylight.

It is said that the Eastern Yang King and the current Emperor were born of the same mother, and that the Eastern Yang King was the elder brother. After the passing of the previous emperor, it was the younger brother who ascended to the throne, while the elder brother resigned to the position of a prince. This goes against propriety.

Among them, there must be many disagreements, but outsiders can't know the inside story.

Nowadays, natural disasters are rampant in the great Sui Dynasty, and the four northern prefectures are even more chaotic with countless people raising their flags to rebel, swords clashing everywhere.

Here is the translation:

As the Sui dynasty faced turmoil and instability, rumors spread among the people that the new emperor was incompetent. It seems that even Prince Dongyang saw an opportunity in this situation. He could no longer bear his idleness. When discussing Jiangshan Tower with Princess Dongyang, Li Po, and Yue Lao, they invariably called it "a tool of the usurper," which is clear evidence.

If the King of Dongyang raises the banner to rebel against the usurper emperor, his first priority should be to win over the King of Zhen Shui.

Zhen Shui County and Dong Yang County are adjacent to each other, one west and the other east, standing tall in the south of the Sui Dynasty. If King Zhen Shui is not brought on board, King Dong Yang's harem will be unstable, let alone sending troops to fight bandits.

Dongyang County Lord ventured into danger, coming alone to Sanwu City. She probably came to persuade the King of Zhen Shui. Unfortunately, news leaked halfway, and Jiangshanlou learned of it, ordering her assassination.

Nowadays, the Great Sui Dynasty hides countless undercurrents.

Qin Sang initially didn't know the truth and unwittingly boarded Dongyang Wang's ship. There were chances to escape, but he chose to stay.

His goal had always remained unchanged. Whether the emperor of the Sui Dynasty was Prince Dongyang or the current ruler, he didn't care at all. What he wanted was to find a shortcut to contact the Immortal Master.

A troubled world produces heroes. Following the King of Dongyang in rebellion is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

Now, it depends on whether the Dongyang County Princess can persuade King Zhen Shui.

If it cannot be done, the Eastern Yang County Princess would die a terrible death. He wouldn't leave her to die with him; he'd rather go on a rampage and flee to another country.

When noon arrived, Qin Sang suddenly heard footsteps rushing towards the small courtyard. He stood up alertly and cocked his head to listen carefully.

Someone was speaking, but it didn't seem like things were tense.

Qin Sang left the King of Hell aside, and after a while, he saw the courtyard door pushed open. Bai Jianglan and an elderly man carrying a medicine chest walked in first. Dongyang County Master and a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man walked side by side, chatting amicably with no change in expression on their faces.

Qin Sang then let out a breath of relief, allowing Yama back in, and stepped forward to greet him.

The one speaking with Dongyang County Princess was the King of Zhen Shui himself. The person beside Bai Jianglan was the royal physician of the Zhen Shui王府, After examining the wound of the monkey, the physician stroked his long beard, took the severed arm and examined it for a while, then shook his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty and County Princess, this severed limb is severely damaged and there is no vitality left. Moreover, the time interval is too long, I'm afraid it can't be reattached."

Bai Jianglan's eyes suddenly dimmed.

East Yang County's Mistress said, “Then please trouble the Imperial Physician to help stop Zhou Guard’s bleeding and treat his wound properly, lest it endanger his life.”

"Yes, sir!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The imperial physician opened the medicine box and treated the wound.

King Zhen Shui said from the side: "An Ning, niece, please rest assured. Doctor Wang's medical skills are divine and he will surely save this valiant man's life. This king has prepared a feast of fine wine and delicacies. Why don't you join me for a meal and some rest at the palace"

“Thank you, Uncle,” Dongyang County Princess rose with a respectful bow, her voice betraying an air of exhaustion. “Anning came to visit quietly, so there's no need for such elaborate arrangements. Now that Anning's matters are resolved, I would trouble you to arrange for someone to send me back to Dongyang County. This will ease my father's worries about Anning's safety and prevent him from fretting. After all, it would be unfilial of Anning to cause him such anxiety.”

The Water King was furious: “I never expected that a mere gang of assassins would dare to run amok in Zhen Shui County, assassinating noblewomen and princes. This King has already ordered a search throughout the county, I will make sure they are wiped out, not leaving a single bird or dog alive, to give my brother and niece An Ning an explanation! Since An Ning insists on going back... come here, prepare a large ship and set up a feast on board. Also send a message to General Zhao Xiang, order him to dispatch his most elite troops to escort the County Princess back to Dong Yang County. If even a single hair of the County Princess is harmed on the way, this King will hold him accountable!”

“Yes!”

Qin Sang, Bai Jianglan, and Shuihouzi rode in a carriage together, escorted by elite soldiers before and after. When they passed Cui Mingshan, Qin Sang lifted the curtain and glanced outside.

He had an uncertain future ahead of him, so he didn't go to bother them.

Setting sail, following the river current, they arrived at Chun City, the county seat of Dongyang County, after three days.

Qin Sang followed Dongyang County Princess, escorted closely by the royal guards back to the palace. Along the way, she marveled at the scenery and felt a significant difference between Chun City's customs and those of Sanwu City.asked the man in black for further instructions and learned about the current situation outside.He inquired about several time points nonchalantly. After a quick mental calculation, he had a general i...
