Chapter 167: Setting the Game with Yourself
Soon, Yun Yuxi and Jing Zichu, after careful consideration, finally came up with a detailed plan. However, this plan was strongly opposed by Jing Zichu. He knew that the risk was huge, but faced with Yun Yuxi's unwavering attitude, he finally compromised helplessly.
"Sister-in-law! Hua Manlou is not a character you can easily mess with. It is rumored in the martial arts world that he has extraordinary martial arts skills and is unfathomable. You actually plan to take the risk yourself and set a trap to lure the enemy. If my brother gets to know about this, he will definitely not agree!" Jing Zichu said worriedly.
"Don't worry, as long as we keep our mouths shut and don't tell anyone, this matter will be resolved without anyone noticing!" Yun Yuxi acted as if she didn't care at all, as if she had thrown all the consequences behind her, which made Jing Zichu feel helpless.
"Sister-in-law, are you really determined to do this?" Jing Zichu confirmed again.
"That's right! Time is running out and there is no time to waste. We must capture Hua Manlou as soon as possible, resolve the trouble in Qingshui Town, and then rush back to Kyoto." Yun Yuxi answered firmly.
"Okay, in that case, sister-in-law, please be careful. I will go and inform Lingyi and Yuelan to be prepared." After saying that, Jing Zichu turned and left.
After they left, Yun Yuxi quickly took out a set of exquisite women's clothing from her personal space, and began to dress up carefully using modern and unique makeup techniques. Her movements were skillful and elegant, and every stroke showed her delicate thoughts, as if she wanted to perfectly integrate into the upcoming plan through this disguise.
"Lord Jing, I absolutely disagree with letting the princess take risks!" Yuelan said anxiously.
"Yeah, I can't agree to do this either." Lingyi immediately agreed.
When they heard the entire plan, they were filled with worry and uneasiness and expressed strong opposition.
"Actually...why wouldn't I be willing to do so? It's just that my sister-in-law has made up her mind. I'm afraid this matter is a foregone conclusion. We have no choice but to obey her orders." Jing Zichu sighed helplessly.
"Alas, the princess has always been stubborn. Once she makes a decision, it is difficult to change it. Even we are powerless to change the situation." Yuelan said worriedly.
"Haven't you ever thought about it? If the prince knew about this, he would definitely blame us, blaming us for indulging the princess in such reckless behavior. What should we do then?" Lingyi frowned, his worry evident in his words.
However, despite everyone's concerns, there seemed to be no other way. In the end, they had to follow the arrangements of the princess.
"Well, since my sister-in-law is already prepared, the three of us should hurry up and act, otherwise we may fall behind her pace." Jing Zichu said with determination.
Although Yuelan was still unwilling, but as things had come to this point, she could only nod helplessly, turned and walked out of the room, went to the next room and quickly changed into a black nightgown.
Lingyi and Keiko looked at each other, and there was a hint of determination in each other's eyes. Then, the two of them quickly changed into night clothes and prepared to face the upcoming challenge.
Yun Yuxi stood quietly in front of the mirror, staring at herself in the mirror. Her skin, as delicate and smooth as white jade, exuded a faint luster, just like the first ray of sunlight in the morning falling on crystal clear dewdrops; a pair of bright and clear eyes were like the deep starry sky, flashing with smart light; when her lips opened slightly, she revealed neat and white teeth, just as beautiful as a blooming flower. She couldn't help but feel very satisfied with her appearance, and nodded gently to express her approval. After all, the advanced makeup technology in modern society is far beyond the ancient times.
"I wonder if I can defeat Hua Manlou this time? Hehe... But I am an expert in using poison. Would I be afraid of not being able to catch Hua Manlou?" Yun Yuxi thought to herself. Then, she turned to look at the pet beside her and said softly, "Baby, help me make some colorless and odorless poison! This kind of poison should make the person who smells it instantly weak and unable to even raise a trace of internal strength. Of course, remember to prepare the corresponding antidote."
After hearing Yun Yuxi's request, the little fellow blinked his round eyes and asked doubtfully: "Master, you are not going to do anything bad again, are you?" Yun Yuxi laughed and answered confidently: "How could that be? This lady is doing justice for the people and getting rid of harm! Hahaha..."
Seeing this, the little guy shook his head helplessly, but still put forward a condition: "Okay, if you can prepare ten fragrant roast chickens for me, then I will start to prepare these poisons and antidotes immediately." Yun Yuxi agreed without hesitation: "No problem! As long as you act quickly enough, everything can be discussed."
Not long after, Yun Yuxi carefully put the prepared anesthetic and poison into her sleeves, and then walked out of the inn with light and confident steps. It was late at night, and the people in the inn had already fallen asleep. Even the waiter who was responsible for keeping watch could not resist the invasion of sleepiness and fell asleep on the counter.
The three people who had been secretly following Yun Yuxi couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw this. They really admired Yun Yuxi's unique outfit - such a strange outfit, probably only this eccentric woman could come up with it! However, despite being full of curiosity and surprise, they still didn't dare to relax at all and continued to follow closely, for fear of missing any exciting plot.
Jing Zichu thought to himself, "Any man would be tempted to see my sister-in-law dressed like this! My brother is so lucky. My sister-in-law is not only stunningly beautiful, but also as smart as my brother."
At this moment, Ling Yi stared at Yun Yuxi's figure walking away, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "The princess is as beautiful as a fairy. Her peerless beauty is amazing. Based on my understanding of the princess, if Hua Manlou ran into the princess, he would probably be in big trouble!"
On the other side, Yue Lan also looked at Yun Yuxi's figure going away, breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly followed her forward. She secretly sighed in her heart: "Even a woman like me thinks that the princess is breathtakingly beautiful and charming, let alone those men? Moreover, the princess is also an expert in using poison. If Hua Manlou dares to show up, he will definitely be left wishing he were dead."
Yun Yuxi was wandering aimlessly on the street, while Ling Yi and the other two followed behind from a distance for fear of alerting the enemy.
