The long night passed as Qi Yang woke up and slept.
Qi Yang was extremely tired. With Ling'er beside him, he slept peacefully and didn't wake up since dawn.
Ling'er was afraid of affecting his recovery and did not dare to disturb his rest. He quietly crawled out of the tunnel and wanted to help him collect some herbs.
After all, Qi Yang told others that he came to Wuyu Mountain to collect herbs. If he didn't hold some freshly picked herbs, it would definitely make people suspicious.
There were no medicinal herbs near the tunnel, so Ling'er went to the creek not far away to collect herbs.
Meng Fei is worried about Qi Yang, but he is even more worried about his heart. Compared to Qi Yang who was hiding in the tunnel, Meng Fei felt that Ling'er, who had mediocre martial arts skills, seemed to need his protection more.
Therefore, Meng Fei ignored Ling'er's instructions and secretly followed Ling'er to the stream to protect Ling'er. Of course, he would always pay attention to what was happening in the tunnel.
The whole morning seemed to pass peacefully like this.
Ling'er calculated the right time and returned to the outside of the tunnel. When she was about to wake up Qi Yang, she found that Qi Yang was missing! The medical box and the baggage were also gone!
"Didn't I ask you to guard Brother Qi Yang? Where are the others?" Ling'er asked Meng Fei anxiously.
Meng Fei frowned and confessed: "I don't know either, I've been on the other side of the stream."
"What did you say? Didn't I ask you to stay with Brother Qi Yang?" Ling'er asked in surprise.
"I think the girl is more likely to be in danger! If something happens to the girl, Brother Qi will definitely kill me." Meng Fei said confidently.
"So you just left Brother Qi Yang here alone?" Ling'er asked in disbelief.
"Don't worry, girl! Although I'm at the creek, I'm still paying attention to the movements in the tunnel. Brother Qi should not be in danger." Meng Fei comforted Ling'er.
"I'm not worried that Brother Qi Yang will be in danger!" Ling'er felt helpless.
"Then what are you worried about?" Meng Fei asked.
"What I was worried about has happened. Brother Qi Yang ran to see Xu Le alone." Ling'er said angrily.
"Ah?" Only then did Meng Fei understand what Ling'er meant. He said, "Don't we know where Brother Qi will meet Xu Le? Why don't we just rush there?"
"That's all we can do now." Ling'er touched her package and confirmed to Meng Fei, "Brother Meng, can you disguise yourself?"

The fire candles in the tunnel had burned out at some point.
In the darkness, Qi Yang suddenly woke up.
The dream last night was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to wake up. I don’t know what time it is, but it would be bad if it’s after noon.
Enduring the pain all over his body, Qi Yang struggled to sit up.
He wanted to light a fire and touched his pocket, but he couldn't find any flint.
In the panic, Qi Yang didn't even notice the thin quilt covering him. He grabbed the medical box and baggage beside him and climbed out.
As if something had crushed his body, Qi Yang secretly gritted his teeth and endured the discomfort, not paying attention to the fetters of the quilt. He slowly broke free from the quilt and crawled toward the light at the entrance of the tunnel with difficulty.
After exiting the tunnel, Qi Yang slowly opened his eyes to adapt to the dazzling sunlight.
Looking at the sun, it seemed to be the same hour, Qi Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a steel needle from his concealed weapon bag and pierced it into his body without mercy, unlocking the air pocket that he had sealed last night.
A warm inner force suddenly spread to his limbs and bones, greatly alleviating Qi Yang's discomfort. Only then did he realize that he didn't seem to feel as cold as usual last night due to his own inner strength.
Qi Yang didn't have time to think too much, he took out the things in his bag and started to disguise himself.
This time Qi Yang plays the role of an old man in his sixties, Wu Jiang, the elder brother of the famous "Poison Doctor Wu Er" in the world. Wu Er is very famous, but not many people know about Wu Jiang. Everyone just knows that Wu Er seems to have an older brother.
Qi Yang happened to have met this Wu Jiang and knew that his medical skills were not inferior to those of Wu Er, the poison doctor, but he just didn't like fame and wealth.
As two people who were both indifferent to fame and fortune, Qi Yang and Wu Jiang became close friends soon after they met. Therefore, Qi Yang imitated Wu Jiang. Although he was not very similar, he was still somewhat similar. Except for the poison doctor Wu Er, there are probably not many people in the world who can tell that Qi Yang is not the real Wu Jiang.
Qi Yang felt good about himself, patted the dust on his body, took the baggage on his back, and carried the medical box down the mountain. He left in a hurry because he had to collect some medicine on the way down the mountain to cover up others' eyes.
As soon as Qi Yang left, Ling'er came back to collect herbs. Two people missed it.
---
Ling'er wasn't quite sure where the "tea stall at the foot of the mountain" mentioned by Qi Yang was, so she and Meng Fei took some detours to get to the tea stall.
Ling'er looked at it from a distance and secretly said, "Oh no!" They were still a step too late. Qi Yang and Xu Le had already met up.
There were not many customers in the tea stall, and only one of the five tables was occupied.
Qi Yang acted as an old man with a face full of vicissitudes of life, sitting at the table with Xu Le, while two of Xu Le's men stood behind Xu Le.
The tea doctor at the tea stall walked over with a pot of tea.
"What are they talking about?" Ling'er saw that Meng Fei was looking seriously and guessed that he knew how to lip-sync.
Meng Fei said: "They seem to have just met. Xu Le said that he heard about Brother Qi's superb medical skills and came here to visit."
"It's not too late! Brother Meng, please go back to the branch first!" Ling'er said.
Meng Fei nodded. He knew Ling'er's plan and told Ling'er to be careful!
Ling'er responded and walked towards the tea stall carrying the herbs she had picked just now.
Ling'er now changed into men's clothing and looked like a thin and short boy. Judging from her clothing and the small basket of herbs in her hand, it is not difficult to tell that she is a medicine boy.
Qi Yang and Xu Le soon noticed the approach of this "young man".
Qi Yang frowned, unable to hide his surprise.
It is said that Meng Fei did learn some disguise skills during the introductory training, but all his talents seemed to be used in martial arts. As a result, his ability to disguise himself is truly unflattering.
So Qi Yang recognized Ling'er at the first sight.
Ling'er was shocked when she saw Qi Yang's expression and knew that Qi Yang had recognized her. She couldn't help but question whether Meng Fei really knew the art of disguise? Xu Le has seen himself before, will he be recognized?
In fact, no matter how bad Meng Fei's disguise skills were, Xu Le would not be able to recognize Ling'er.
Qi Yang was very familiar with Ling'er's body and appearance, so of course Meng Fei's simple modification could not be hidden from Qi Yang.
And even if Xu Le had met Ling'er before, he might have almost forgotten her appearance. Especially since Ling'er was dressed in men's clothing at this time, how could Xu Le connect her with the woman he had only met once in Luoyang a few months ago?
After Xu Le looked at the young man in front of him, looked at the herbs in his hand, and asked Qi Yang: "Doctor Wu, is he your medicine boy?"
"I am!" Ling'er rushed to answer.
