Huangfu Yue wanted to know more about her precious pet, so she asked Xiao Hei many questions. She learned that not only could she see what Xiao Hei saw, but she could also hear what Xiao Hei heard.
Moreover, no matter how far Xiao Hei was from her, she could communicate with Xiao Hei mentally and even control Xiao Hei's body.
She immediately thought of many possibilities. In the future, she could send Xiao Hei as her scout, and even control Xiao Hei's body to fight remotely. It would be incredibly satisfying!
"Xiao Hei, do you know of Mi Dian Town?" Huangfu Yue suddenly asked.
"Yes. I passed by Mi Dian Town before, but I didn't enter the town," Xiao Hei nodded.
"We are going to stay in Mi Dian Town tonight. I want to send you ahead to scout. Once you reach Mi Dian Town, fly through the entire town and let me see all the streets and alleys," Huangfu Yue instructed.
She wanted to test Xiao Hei's scouting abilities first.
"Okay," Xiao Hei immediately agreed. "I'll go now, Master. Once I reach Mi Dian Town, I'll fly through the entire town and let you see all the streets and alleys. Should I come back to find you, or wait for you in Mi Dian Town?"
"You wait for me in Mi Dian Town. I'll see you in Mi Dian Town."
"As you command. I'm leaving."
"Be careful on your way."
After Xiao Hei flew away, Huangfu Yue's gaze fell upon the people from the Marquis's mansion lying on the ground. She touched her nose, a look of apology on her face.
To have made them sleep on the ground for so long, what a sin! What a sin!
"Everyone, I'm so sorry. I'll detoxify you now and wake you up."
As Huangfu Yue spoke, she sprayed the people on the ground with the aerosol. Then, she returned to the carriage and sprayed Zheng Taifei, Yang Wanqian, and the few little ones.
The people from the Marquis's mansion soon slowly woke up. Huangfu Yue saw Zheng Taifei open her eyes and slightly curved her lips.
"Grandmother, you're awake. Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
Zheng Taifei shook her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes. "What happened to me?"
She didn't feel any discomfort, but why did she suddenly lose consciousness?
"We seem to have fainted. Yue'er, why did we all suddenly pass out?"
Just as Huangfu Yue was about to answer, her eldest sister-in-law Zhu Jiayi's voice came from outside.
"You were all drugged with a sleeping potion, so you all fainted," Huangfu Yue said loudly towards the outside of the carriage, her voice loud enough for dozens of people in front and behind to hear.
"What! We were all drugged?!"
"Who drugged us?"
"When were we drugged?"
Everyone was surprised and immediately began to exclaim in panic and murmur amongst themselves.
"It was the accomplices of those black-clothed men earlier. They were hidden in the dark, waiting for an opportunity when we weren't paying attention to put the sleeping potion in the water we used for cooking and washing vegetables, intending to knock us out and search for the letter.
But I didn't faint. After discovering them, I dealt with them all. Everything is fine now, there's no danger, everyone can rest assured."
Huangfu Yue said, deliberately concealing Xiao Hei's involvement.
She certainly couldn't admit that Xiao Hei had poisoned and knocked everyone out.
"Accomplices of those black-clothed men? They have accomplices! That's terrifying!"
"How did the accomplices of the black-clothed men find us? How many of them are there, and could there be more accomplices looking for us?"
"I'm scared..."
"Everyone, don't be afraid. I've already investigated. The black-clothed men have no more accomplices, and no more of their accomplices will come looking for us."
Seeing that many women were terrified, especially her fourth sister-in-law, who was teary-eyed, Huangfu Yue quickly comforted them loudly.
In fact, according to what Xiao Hei had told her, the black-clothed men still had many accomplices. But the people Xiao Hei had informed to find them had already been dealt with by her. The other accomplices of the black-clothed men didn't know about their existence, and their master Chang Qing didn't know either.
Therefore, they were indeed safe now and didn't need to worry about Chang Qing and his subordinates continuing to pursue them.
She had always wondered why Xiao Hei had told the black-clothed men that Liu Wu's letter was with them.
Xiao Hei said that after it tracked Liu Wu, it notified the black-clothed men, and they immediately pursued Liu Wu to seize the letter. Unexpectedly, Liu Wu, despite being heavily wounded, managed to break through and escape. Xiao Hei quickly caught up with Liu Wu and informed the black-clothed men of Liu Wu's whereabouts.
While waiting for the black-clothed men to find Liu Wu, it saw them interacting with Liu Wu. Although it didn't see Liu Wu giving them the letter, when the black-clothed men caught up with Liu Wu, they didn't find the letter on him.
It thought that even though it didn't see Liu Wu give them the letter, Liu Wu had only interacted with them. It must be that Liu Wu used some illusionary technique to secretly give them the letter. It caught up with them and informed the black-clothed men that the letter was with them, telling them to pursue them.
She immediately gave Xiao Hei three sharp taps on its head, scolding it for making wild guesses without evidence, causing them so much trouble.
Xiao Hei repeatedly apologized and was about to kneel before her, so she let it off the hook and didn't beat it into a pig's head.
Upon hearing Huangfu Yue's words, everyone's hearts, which had been hanging high, relaxed, and they were no longer worried.
"Everyone must be careful from now on. Before eating anything, you must check if it has been drugged.
Kitchen staff, pay special attention. This must not happen again, that water is drugged. You don't know that the water used to cook our meals was drugged," Zheng Taifei said.
Fortunately, their granddaughter was there this time. Their granddaughter didn't faint, otherwise, they would have been in dire straits.
Everyone nodded in unison, and the kitchen staff quickly agreed.
"County Princess, did you ask those bad guys if they drugged the water in the iced honey water I made?" Ying'er asked, bowing respectfully before the carriage.
She was worried that those bad guys had not only drugged the water for cooking and washing vegetables but also the water in the iced honey water she made.
Hearing Ying'er's words, Huangfu Yue remembered that Xiao Hei had poisoned the water in the river, and the iced honey water made by Ying'er with river water was also poisoned. She had to quickly detoxify it.
Huangfu Yue nodded and said, "Yes, I asked. The iced honey water was also poisoned, but don't panic. I asked the black-clothed men for the antidote. We can drink it after adding the antidote to the iced honey water."
It would be a shame to waste such delicious iced honey water. She just needed to add the antidote to it.
Huangfu Yue immediately mentally called out to the system to quickly make dozens of paper-wrapped powdered antidotes and send them to her.
Although there was still some of the antidote the system had given earlier, it was an aerosol, which was inconvenient to spray into the iced honey water, as all the iced honey water they were carrying was in water skins with narrow openings.
Imagining herself spraying the aerosol into the water skins, Huangfu Yue almost burst out laughing.
The system made the antidote and sent it to Huangfu Yue in two seconds. Huangfu Yue immediately distributed it to everyone, telling them to pour it into the water skins to detoxify.
