Chapter 146 Princess Fengyang Restores Her Appearance
In the military tent of Nanyi, Kuban, with only one ear left and an ugly face, was sitting at the table in a bad mood, drinking alone.
Ever since Pei Shaofeng cut off one of his ears, Cuban hated Pei Shaofeng to the core and wanted to kill him immediately to avenge his ear cutting.
But unfortunately, in the recent fights, he ended up in a miserable defeat, which made him so angry that he gritted his teeth and became extremely irritable.
Just as he had a few drinks and was feeling even more depressed, he saw the Imperial Master, Taoist Wu Sha, walk in.
"Master, now that the southern border has been attacked for a long time, do you have any other ideas?" Seeing the old Taoist coming in, Kuban put down his wine glass, looked gloomy, and asked.
"Don't worry, Prince. This is exactly why I came here," said Taoist Wu Sha. He took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and said, "Prince, this is the poison I just made. When you fight General Pei, sprinkle it on his face. He will lose consciousness immediately and surrender."
"Oh," Cuban said doubtfully as he took the powder. "Can this powder really make him lose consciousness instantly, as you said?"
"Don't worry, Prince," said Taoist Wu Sha, stroking his beard, "This medicinal powder is what I have painstakingly refined over the past few months. It is highly toxic and no one can cure it. Please take it, Prince, and use it with confidence."
"Okay." Kuban drank the wine in his glass, put it down and said, "When I capture General Pei alive, I will definitely record his merit for the Imperial Master!"
"I'll stay here first. Thank you, Prince. You will definitely succeed this time," Taoist Wusha flattered.

In a courtyard in Nanyi, Princess Fengyang was sitting in front of the mirror in her room, unable to hold back her tears of joy.
"Princess, your face has finally recovered." Qingyan, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but choke up.
Yes, looking at the fairy-like beautiful face in the mirror, Princess Fengyang felt that all the hardships she had endured along the way were worth it.
She had regained her beauty, which was more important than anything else. It seemed that following that Taoist priest to Nanyi was the right decision.
It won't be long before I can return to Daqing. When I get back to the capital, I will first go back to the palace to ask for an audience with my father and ask him to issue an edict to cancel my engagement with Marquis Zhaoyuan.
When Princess Fengyang thought of Marquis Zhaoyuan's lustful look, she felt sick.
I will never set foot in the Marquis of Zhaoyuan's Mansion again. When my father sees that my appearance has recovered, he will definitely agree to cancel my engagement.
In the room, just as Princess Fengyang was looking at the mirror, lost in thought, she heard a knock on the door.
Qingyan walked over and opened the door, only to find that the person standing outside was the old Taoist priest who had brought them to Nanyi. What Princess Fengyang and Qingyan could never have imagined was that this old Taoist priest was none other than the Wusha Imperial Master of Nanyi.
A few months ago, after Kuban blinded General Pei of Daqing with the poison he developed, he thought that General Pei would never be able to see again.
Unexpectedly, a few months later, General Pei returned to the battlefield, and even his feet, which had their tendons cut, were able to walk briskly and recovered as before.
Although many people spread rumors at that time that General Pei was saved by Guanyin Bodhisattva, Taoist Wusha was a little skeptical about it.
The last time he went to Daqing was to find out if he could find any useful information. Unfortunately, after walking around the streets of Daqing for two or three months, he still didn't find any useful information.
Just when he was about to return to Nanyi with nothing gained, he unexpectedly met Princess Fengyang and her servant on the road, and took them to Nanyi.
Speaking of which, this Taoist Wu Sha does have some skills. In just less than a month, he restored the beauty of Princess Fengyang's face. It can be seen that his medical skills cannot be underestimated.
At this moment, Princess Fengyang saw Taoist Wusha walk in. She quickly stood up and bowed to him, saying, "Master, your medical skills are superb. You saved me from danger. Please accept my bow."
"I dare not," said Taoist Wu Sha, helping Princess Fengyang up. With an unfathomable smile on his face, he said, "I am just a Taoist priest. How dare I ask the noble princess to come and pay my respects to me?"
Princess? When Princess Fengyang heard the old Taoist utter these two words, her face turned pale and she asked in a trembling voice, "You...how do you know I'm a princess?"
This is an admission. It seems that my guess was right, Taoist Wusha thought to himself.
When in Daqing, Taoist Wusha had already heard Qingyan call the word "Princess". He also saw that although Princess Fengyang was dressed in shabby clothes, her expression was noble, and it was obvious that she was not from a humble family.
When they arrived in Nanyi, Taoist Wusha took Princess Fengyang's pulse and found out that she was a daughter, which made him even more convinced of her identity.
At this time, after hearing Princess Fengyang's question, Taoist Wusha pretended to be mysterious and said, "Princess, you don't know that I also know some physiognomy. I guessed the princess's identity from her face."
Princess Fengyang was shocked to see that this old Taoist priest had such abilities. She then stood up and bowed, saying, "Master, you don't know that I escaped from the palace secretly. So please help me conceal my identity."
"Don't worry, Princess. I won't say much," Taoist Wusha promised.
"Moreover, the courtyard where the princess lives now has its own entrance and courtyard, and is very secluded. The princess can live there with peace of mind," Taoist Wusha added.
"Master, my face has recovered. I will be returning to Daqing in a few days," Princess Fengyang said to the old Taoist.
Nanyi and Daqing are mortal enemies. As a princess of Daqing, if people find out that I have come to Nanyi, who knows how much trouble will be caused.
Princess Fengyang had been living in fear every day, fearing that someone would discover something. Now that she knew that the old Taoist priest had discovered her identity, she dared not stay in Nanyi for long.
"Princess, you can't leave yet." Taoist Wusha had seen through Princess Fengyang's identity and couldn't let her go easily. He immediately lied to her, saying, "Princess, you don't know. Although your face appears to have recovered, the toxins inside haven't been completely cleared."
"If the princess doesn't clean it up now, I'm afraid the rash on her face will recur soon. So the princess should stay here for a while. I will use medicine to remove the toxins from the princess' body. It won't be too late to leave then."
When Princess Fengyang heard this, she realized that if the poison wasn't completely removed, it might relapse. She immediately said, "In that case, I'll stay here for a few more days until the poison is completely removed before leaving."
I don't want to live with that rash all over my face anymore. This time I must be completely cured before I go back, Princess Fengyang thought to herself.
When Taoist Wusha saw that Princess Fengyang agreed to stay for a while longer, he couldn't help but reveal a cunning smile on his face. Leaving a princess of Daqing in Nanyi will definitely be of great use in the future.
