Chapter 185: She Can Actually Go to Daliang!

~8 min read 1,461 words

Inside the hotel.

Three boxes of injections were delivered into the hands of Bai Wei.

The military green medical cooler had a bright red star on it.

Deputy Director Qian stood at the doorway.

Behind him were two soldiers in olive-green uniforms.

One of the soldiers clicked his heels together with a "snap" and gave Bai Wei a salute.

"Miss Bai Wei, we have heard of your deeds. You have recovered cultural relics that had been lost for many years for Huaxia. The country thanks you!"

"Our superiors have sent us to deliver these three boxes of injections to you, hoping they can be of help!"

Looking at the soldiers before her, Bai Wei was moved to tears.

She raised her hand to return the salute.

"Thank you all!"

Deputy Director Qian said with a smile, "It is nothing, hurry and take them to save your friend! If you have any difficulties in the future, just ask."

"Mm."

Bai Wei nodded vigorously and bent down to pick up the injections.

A set of instructions was thoughtfully attached to the medical case.

The Antidote Injection must be kept refrigerated at 2–4 degrees Celsius, otherwise, it would become ineffective.

When injecting, it must also be mixed with a special Diluent; the dosage cannot have the slightest error. If the medication is prepared incorrectly, it will lead to the patient's death!

Bai Wei finished reading the manual.

Time was tight, and there was no longer time to explain the usage method to the Northern Frontier Army Military Doctor.

So she decided to go to Daliang herself!

Last time, she went to Daliang through the wardrobe to save Consort Yun, and she could definitely do it this time too!

Bai Wei immediately picked up the medical case and ran downstairs.

She made a phone call while running.

"Zhou Yuchuan, your home is in Yanjing, right?"

"I have something I need your help with..."

Forty minutes later.

Bai Wei drove the Recreational Vehicle into the courtyard of a luxury villa.

Zhou Yuchuan stood in the yard, wearing a white T-shirt and black trousers, dressed in casual attire.

"I need to go out for a trip, but I should be back very soon." Bai Wei jumped out of the vehicle and tossed the keys over, "I'm worried about leaving the Recreational Vehicle at the hotel, so I have to trouble you to keep an eye on it for me."

"No problem." Zhou Yuchuan smiled and reached out an arm, catching the keys from the air, "This is my private villa; outsiders don't usually come here."

"Thank you, Professor Zhou, you really are a good person."

Bai Wei flashed him a smile, picked up the medical case, and left.

Zhou Yuchuan raised an eyebrow, half-jokingly, "Giving me a 'good person' card? Can I refuse to accept it?"

Bai Wei chuckled, "If you don't want it, then give it back to me."

After saying this, she turned and walked away.

Suddenly, her arm was grabbed by Zhou Yuchuan.

She turned her head back.

Zhou Yuchuan looked at her, his dark eyes very bright in the night.

He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and shoved a paper box into her hand.

"Take this."

His gentle tone actually held a hint of a command.

Bai Wei was puzzled, "What is this?"

"Something that can protect your safety."

Zhou Yuchuan let go, smiled at her, and waved his hand.

"Be careful when you get over there."

Having said that, he turned and returned to the villa.

Bai Wei was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she found that Zhou Yuchuan had already disappeared.

She opened the paper box, and after just one glance, she was so startled that she immediately slammed the lid shut.

"Zhou Yuchuan, you actually gave me this!"

Inside the box, there lay a black Handgun.

The cold metallic texture, heavy in the hand—it was a real gun.

The magazine was still fully loaded with Bullet rounds.

Bai Wei was extremely surprised; why would he give her a gun?

Was it meant for her to defend herself?

But Bai Wei had no time to think too much; seeing that Zhou Yuchuan had left, she quickly looked around, and after confirming there was no one nearby, she quietly slipped to the side of the Recreational Vehicle, opened the door with the spare key, and climbed in.

"Professor Zhou, I didn't mean to deceive you."

"If you found out I was going back to ancient times, you would definitely drag me off to a laboratory."

"I don't want to become a test subject."

Bai Wei said this while climbing into the vehicle with all her items.

Just as she was about to open the wardrobe, her head spun.

The familiar feeling appeared once again, and everything around began to blur.

The Jade Pendant in Bai Wei's pocket began to grow hot; she widened her eyes in surprise and looked down at her own body.

What is going on?

She seemed to have turned transparent?

Suddenly!

Bai Wei's figure vanished.

On the second floor of the villa.

Zhou Yuchuan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his figure tall and slender.

He watched as Bai Wei looked around like a little mole, then scurried into the Recreational Vehicle, her figure flickering before disappearing without a trace.

Zhou Yuchuan raised an eyebrow, his perfect thin lips curling into a faint, bitter smile.

"Bai Wei, you really can go to Daliang."

"... Once you get there, you must return safely."

On the yellow pear wood desk lay several sheets of photocopied materials.

The photocopied items were ancient Daliang texts excavated from the Zhenbei King Tomb; the paper of the ancient books had become fragile and yellowed, and many pages were damaged, yet the handwriting on them could still be vaguely seen.

On one of the pages spread open, there was a drawing of a cabinet, exactly the same as Bai Wei's wardrobe.

Below it, there was also a note written in ancient script—

"The Sacrificial Vessel Cabinet of the Divine Witch Tribe, used to store sacrificial vessels offered to the gods, can connect the past and the future..."

Late at night.

Outside Shiya City.

Xiao Moting stood in the command tent, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Two Military Doctors stood trembling before him.

"... Prince, those maddened soldiers are already at death's door."

"We have already fed them various decoctions, but it still cannot neutralize the toxicity within their bodies."

"To prevent the toxin from spreading to other soldiers after they die, it would be better to... better to dig a pit and bury them all."

The flickering candlelight shone on Xiao Moting's handsome, stern face, casting a play of light and shadow.

"You may leave; I will consider it."

The Military Doctors withdrew.

Xiao Moting's eyes were stained with a deep, ink-like darkness.

He rubbed his brow forcefully, his resolute and handsome face finally revealing a trace of exhaustion.

For over ten days in a row, he had been commanding at the front lines without ever resting.

The night wind faintly carried the painful cries of the soldiers.

The Military Doctors said they were poisoned and feared the contagion would spread after death, so they suggested burying all these maddened soldiers in a pit.

A flash of pain crossed the depths of Xiao Moting's reddened eyes.

He had to prioritize the big picture.

Bai Wei had not yet replied; Xiao Moting closed his eyes and picked up the Military Order from the table.

"Someone come, take the maddened soldiers alive..."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly opened his eyes wide!

In his mind, a powerful sensation suddenly surged!

Something was about to be Teleportation-ed over!

The red candle on the table flickered violently.

"Ah!"

With a scream, a figure appeared out of thin air and fell from the sky.

Xiao Moting instinctively stepped forward, stretched out his arms, and caught the figure.

The girl who fell from the sky was instantly held in his arms.

"I..."

Bai Wei clutched her medical kit; she was dizzy and gasping for air, barely able to regain her senses.

Had she just fallen from the sky like that?

However, she didn't seem to have hit the ground.

Who had caught her in mid-air?

Bai Wei had just finished the Teleportation and was still very disoriented, her head spinning; she looked up.

What came into view was a handsome, stern face.

The man was very young, his features as perfect and sharp as if carved by a knife or axe; he had a pair of beautiful, long, narrow eyes, black as ink and shining like stars, revealing a sharp edge.

He was looking down at her, his eyes filled with shock.
