The two quickly entered Nanshan Village.

Not much has changed since the last time Yang Ruoqing came here. All the people working in the terraced fields at the entrance of the village and the fish ponds at the foot of the mountain are men.

When I walked into the village, I found that every household was cleaning their yards, drying them in the sun, feeding chickens and ducks, and taking care of their children. All of them were men.

What is the woman doing?

The woman was sitting on a rocking chair under the eaves, drinking tea, eating melon seeds, chatting, making dirty jokes, and laughing from time to time.

When Hongxiu heard those dirty jokes, she blushed and buried her head.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.

This place is really a paradise for women.

However, if she were given a choice, she still wouldn't want to live here forever, because she accepts the idea that men and women respect each other, and there is no imbalance in the weight of either party.

Soon, a female general in charge of the reception invited Yang Ruoqing and Hongxiu to a quiet three-story attic.

Yang Ruoqing raised her head and looked at the attic in front of her, a little surprised.

"Isn't this the wizard's residence? Why are you here? Logically speaking, the female general is the leader of Nanshan Village."

Just when I was surprised, the wizard had already come out from the third floor attic to greet me.

"My subordinates have met Her Majesty the Empress, but I feel sorry for you at a distance. I hope you will forgive me!"

Yang Ruoqing was even more surprised when she saw the wizard kneeling in front of her.

After not seeing each other for several months, why is this wizard so haggard?

Is this because I went crazy in practicing Qigong or something?

"It's okay, get up and talk."

Yang Ruoqing made a supporting gesture.

Hongxiu on the side saw this and went up to help the wizard.

The wizard stood up straight and looked at each other with Hongxiu.

"Your Majesty, may I ask who this distinguished guest is?"

Yang Ruoqing made a brief introduction to the two of them. The wizard learned that Hong Xiu was Yang Ruoqing's confidant, and secretly observed Hong Xiu's elbows, palms, and posture when standing and walking.

It was determined that although this red-sleeved girl looked thin and delicate, she was also a practitioner, and her true strength was very different from her appearance.

Respect and enthusiasm appeared in the wizard's eyes, and he called Yang Ruoqing and Hong Xiu into the attic to talk.

At the same time, the wizard ordered his servants to quickly prepare wine and food to greet them.

Yang Ruoqing stopped her: "I came to see you sisters this time because I need your help for something important!"

"It doesn't matter if it's good wine and good food. We can fill our bellies with just a few of us."

The wizard nodded and immediately ordered his men to prepare.

"Where is your sister?" Yang Ruoqing looked around.

The news that he entered the village must have reached the female general, but the female general has not shown up yet.

When he heard Yang Ruoqing asking about the female general, the smile on the wizard's face suddenly froze, and his expression became extremely unnatural.

"What's wrong? General, what happened to her?"

Yang Ruoqing also became serious and asked again.

The wizard shook his head, "No, no, thank you for your concern..."

"Okay, okay, everything is written on your face, so don't hide it. Tell me what it is, I'm still waiting for your sisters to help me!" Yang Ruoqing was a little unhappy and interrupted the wizard.

.

The wizard did not dare to be rude and stood up again, standing respectfully in front of Yang Ruoqing. Before speaking, she glanced at Hongxiu.

Yang Ruoqing originally wanted to say that Hongxiu was one of her own, so there was no harm in saying so.

But Hongxiu turned around and said with a smile: "I'll go guard the door, you guys talk first."

Since Hongxiu wanted to go out on her own, Yang Ruoqing naturally didn't say anything else.

After Hong Xiu left, only Yang Ruoqing and the wizard were left in the room.

"It doesn't matter if you just say it now." Yang Ruoqing said.

The wizard frowned, his face full of sadness.

"Actually, when I discovered that matter, I wanted to go out and report it to Your Majesty, and beg Your Majesty to make a decision."

"However, my sister is threatening her with death, and I am really in a difficult position."

"If His Majesty hadn't suddenly arrived here today, I might not have had the courage to go out and tell His Majesty this matter. This is my selfishness and my sister's selfishness. Whatever punishment Your Majesty wants, we sisters are willing to claim it!"

Yang Ruoqing was confused when she heard this, "Stop nagging and go straight to the point! What did you hide from me?"

The wizard sighed and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is difficult to explain in one word. You should just follow me. Naturally, everything will be clear to you."

…

Yang Ruoqing followed the wizard to the female general's residence.

The residence of the female general was heavily guarded, but with the wizard leading the way, all the guarding was in vain.

It was very quiet up and down the bamboo building, which surprised Yang Ruoqing.

Because before I came here, the female general had a carefree personality and liked to shout and drink the most.

Tranquility should belong to wizards, and bustle should belong to female generals.

But now...

"Your Majesty, we're here." The wizard who was walking in front stopped and turned his head to Yang Ruoqing behind him.

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

The wizard then pushed open the door and entered.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard the female general's alert voice coming from inside: "Who is it?"

"Sister, it's me."

The alertness in the room disappeared instantly.

The wizard took Yang Ruoqing into the house.

As soon as she entered the house, Yang Ruoqing smelled a pungent smell of medicine.

The wizard stepped forward and opened the curtain, revealing the haggard woman on the bed.

The woman's head was wrapped with a veil, and her face was weakened until she was left with a skull frame, with sunken eye sockets and prominent cheekbones.

The color on his face was not attractive at all, and his lips were even more pale, with the corners of his lips bruised.

Yang Ruoqing was even more shocked when she saw such a female general.

This is simply scarier than the wizard, who is just haggard, has no energy, and is very tired.

As for this female general, she completely lost her appearance and had the aura of death all over her body!

"General, what's wrong?" Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but ask, and took a few steps forward to rush to the bed.

The general who was sitting on the bed with his eyes slightly closed suddenly opened his eyes when he heard Yang Ruoqing's voice.

When he confirmed that besides the wizard, there was actually someone else in the room in front of him, and that person was Yang Ruoqing, panic showed in the general's eyes.

She struggled to get up subconsciously, and seemed to be deliberately trying to cover something. Suddenly, she spit out a mouthful of blood!

Yang Ruoqing stopped in front of the bed.

Because the wizard had already grabbed her, "Your Majesty, please move to the side and let me detoxify my sister."

Seeing this situation, Yang Ruoqing stepped aside and watched with bated breath as the wizard treated the female general.

"Sister, listen to me, don't get excited, hold your breath and take a deep breath."

The wizard came to the bedside, supported the female general, taught her how to adjust her breath, and at the same time stuffed a red pill into the female general's mouth.

I don’t know what kind of pill it was, but after the female general swallowed it, she stopped vomiting blood.

Then, the wizard laid the female general flat and took out a black ear box. The box opened and a scorpion jumped out.

The scorpion is very big, with a shiny black shell and a pointed tail that is red and as sharp as a blade.
