Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 670: The Regent King’s Hidden Malice

Chapter 670: Chapter 670: The Regent King’s Hidden Malice

Several days later, at the Beiqi Regent Prince Mansion.

Lady Nan Feng had not seen Xiao Junci for several days and thought he had gone off to enjoy himself again. She was just about to go out and search for him

when she saw Xiao Junci, pale-faced, being helped down from the horse carriage outside the mansion.

"Damn Xia Xing, I will certainly have my revenge."

Xiao Junci cursed, his ankle swollen and oozing black blood continuously. The journey had been so unbearable that he felt life was worse than death.

Gong Zhu was not as strong as Xiao Junci, but he could compete with Xiao Junci because he had an old habit of poisoning his weapons.

This encounter with Xia Xing was truly Xiao Junci’s unlucky encounter. His ankle was agonizingly painful, and no amount of detoxification medicine was effective. He had no choice but to rush back to Beiqi to seek Elder Gan’s antidote. If he delayed any further, his leg would become immobile.

"Who injured you?"

Lady Nan Feng was shocked to see his condition, knowing Xiao Junci’s protective Gang Qi was very powerful, and ordinary people could not harm him.

"Don’t mention it."

Although Xiao Junci was annoyed, the sight of a carriage full of goods lifted his spirits somewhat.

"Give the orderdown. Tidy up the goods on the carriage. Do not touch any seeds and medicinal materials. I will arrange them myself."

Lady Nan Feng quickly summoned Elder Gan to examine Xiao Junci’s injury.

Elder Gan had followed Tian Jizi for many years and was very proficient in medicine himself. After some treatment, he managed to control the poison in Xiao Junci.

"You say that it was the apprentice of the Emperor of Soldiers, Xia Bingxin, named Xia Xing, who injured you? No wonder then. Xia Bingxin’s archery is exceptional, and she uses Heavenly Iron to refine her crossbow bolts which can break through Gang Qi."

Elder Gan said with understanding.

"It seems you and Xia Bingxin are old acquaintances." Xiao Junci was one to hold grudges; naturally, he wanted revenge for being wounded by Xia Xing.

But unfortunately, on his way back, he received unsettling news that Xia Xing had become the new Emperor of Soldiers, which made it more difficult for him to take his revenge.

"Speaking of Xia Bingxin, not only am I familiar with her, but Nan Feng knows her well too. She is actually Nan Xin."

Elder Gan said with a smile.

"She is Nan Xin? But shouldn’t Nan Xin be in the Chen Dynasty? How did she change her name and join the mercenary world?"

Lady Nan Feng was surprised. She was indeed as informed as Elder Gan about matters related to their sect. Over the years, she had followed her master’s orders in selecting a successor and assisting Xiao Junci, but had not paid attention to the affairs of the Mercenary World.

"It is said that Nan Xin suffered a setback in the Chen Dynasty. Regent King, you should be more careful if you encounter Xia Bingxin’s apprentice again in the future. She is also your rival. If she had hit something other than your ankle this time..."

Elder Gan spoke with a meaningful tone. Xia Bingxin’s archery was exceptional, and if she had hit a vital spot, even Xiao Junci would have been more likely to meet misfortune than fortune.

"There won’t be a next time. That Xia Xing would not have succeeded if I had not been careless."

Xiao Junci spoke through clenched teeth, expressing his deep resentment. He was not used to suffering losses, whether against Dugu Wu or anyone else. Yet, when it came to Feng Bailing and her peculiar daughter, he seemed to be plagued with misfortune.

Xiao Junci wondered if he and Feng Xiaoli were fated to conflict with each other.

"You still haven’t explained. How did you end up facing off against Xia Bingxin? She is now the Emperor of Soldiers; we cannot afford to provoke anyone from the Mercenary World anymore."

Lady Nan Feng pondered and said.

"It’s all for that batch of goods. The supplies I brought back are no ordinary supplies," said Xiao Junci as people carried in several baskets of grain.

Lady Nan Feng took a look at the grain and found it to be very plump.

"Don’t underestimate these grains. They’re from the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, which is to say, the crops from Xinqi Village. You must have heard that Great Chu has a place called Dragon Landing Land, which includes the crops from Xinqi Village. Dragon Landing Land’s crops can be harvested in less than a month and not only do they taste extraordinary, but their yield is also incredibly high."

"Emperor Bei Qi, that old man, won’t last much longer. Once he dies, I will join forces with the Eight Countries to launch an attack on Great Chu. Everything else is ready, except we’re still lacking military supplies and medicinal materials. These aren’t your average medicinal materials; they are very effective. With them, we in Bei Qi will be able to have a large enough supply of military provisions."

After visiting Great Chu, Xiao Junci was particularly impressed by the crops from Xinqi Village. That’s why he plotted so hard to purchase this batch of supplies that had been plundered from the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.

Gan Liu stepped forward to inspect the medicinal materials, and after examining them, he nodded slightly.

"These crops are indeed unusual."

"Elder Gan has already contacted several other countries. At this moment, everything is ready; we only await an opportune wind. As soon as Dugu Wu encounters trouble on the Great Chu side, we can immediately take action," Gan Liu said with deep meaning.

"Are you really sure that Dugu Wu will be investigated, Mr. Gan? After all, Emperor Yongye and Dugu Wu have coexisted peacefully for so many years," Xiao Junci still had his doubts.

"Your Highness the Regent King, you need not worry. For now, we just need to deal with Emperor Bei Qi," Gan Liu said, revealing a hint of a smile.

For many years, since Tian Jizi’s disappearance, the Ten Countries have maintained a facade of peace.

The inheritor of Tian Jizi’s legacy has yet to appear, and Gan Liu is getting impatient.

He believes that only by emerging as the so-called number one person in the world can he unlock the legacy left by Tian Jizi.

Tian Jizi amassed a fortune during his lifetime and possessed great skills; however, both his teachings and his wealth’s whereabouts remain unknown.

All of this can only be found by unlocking Tian Jizi’s legacy.

From Bei Qi’s end, they watch eagerly.

Feng Bailing returned to Chu City with Xiao Li several days later.

When they arrived at the Shunqing Prince Manor, the outside was festively decorated, exuding a joyous atmosphere, which made Feng Bailin involuntarily think of the scene of her own wedding to Dugu Wu half a year ago.

In a flash, half a year had passed since their wedding ceremony. Thinking back on the past, Feng Bailing couldn’t help but feel somewhat dazed.

Her one-year agreement with Dugu Wu doesn’t have much time left.

"Elder sister, you’re finally back."

As soon as Feng Bailing arrived home, Princess Mingxia hurried out from the manor. Seeing Xiao Li, she picked her up and pinched Feng Xiaoli’s cheek.

Princess Mingxia was very fond of Xiao Li, who was sweet-talking and adorable.

Just as Feng Bailing was about to speak, she felt a churning in her stomach, and a wave of acid reached her throat.

Feng Bailing’s complexion changed drastically. This sensation... these past few days, she didn’t know if it was due to the fatigue of travel, but she often felt uncomfortable. This made Feng Bailing think of her menstrual period, which had been delayed for several months.
