outside Huayuan area. On a wide road.
Tick, tick.
More than 20 warriors with strong backs and strong waists, full of evil spirits and swords, rode forward on horseback.
The leader was a big man wearing black gold mail armor. His face was bronze, giving people an unusually powerful feeling. He was Cao Mang, one of the three deputy commanders of Prince Wu's Mansion.
In the middle of the horse team, there was a large carriage guarding it.
Inside the carriage, a young man wearing brocade clothes was lying half inside the large carriage.
The young man has a calm aura, a high nose, and sharp eyes, giving him the impression that he is good at planning.
This person is Nie Chong, the third son of King Wu.
Among the heirs of Prince Seiwu, he is the most outstanding in talent and strategy. In terms of martial arts, he ranks third among the heirs of Prince Seiwu, behind the eldest son and eldest daughter.
Beside him were two maids half-kneeling, one squeezing his shoulders and the other tapping his legs.
Not far away, there was a thin man in gray robe sitting there. The man closed his eyes and sat there motionless.
"We have left the Huayuan area, do you think anyone will take action against us?"
Nie Chong stretched, sat upright, and said to the gray-robed man.
"Your Majesty, maybe the most dangerous thing is outside the Huayuan area. After all, this is not the prince's territory. The other party may choose to take action here."
The man in gray robe opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"You have to be careful. In fact, my little sister's death has nothing to do with the fight between the nine princes. It should be the work of my little sister's enemies, or our enemies who broke up Prince Wu's Mansion. I hope I can lure them out this time."
"The enemies in the dark give us a feeling of being stuck in our throats. We must eliminate them!"
Nie Chong said in a deep voice.
This time he went to the capital, and he had oppressed the Seventh Prince before, but he was actually doing it to show others, just to lure out the enemy.
Originally, I wanted to fish out the enemy in the Huayuan area, but the opponent never took action.
Now that he has left the Huayuan area, he is no longer within his own territory.
Just give the other party a chance, and the other party will not let this opportunity go, but there is also a danger in itself.
"Don't be so optimistic. If the other party wants to take action, they must have already figured out our strength!"
The man in gray robe said.
"With you and General Cao protecting me, there should be no problem with my safety."
Nie Chong said.
"Your Majesty, I always have a bad premonition when I come out this time. This premonition is very dangerous."
The man in gray robe said with a frown.
After hearing the gray-robed man's words, Nie Chong also looked solemn.
Team, keep moving forward.
At this time, Cao Mang, who was in charge of the team, came to the carriage.
"Your Majesty, we will arrive at the nearest town in about two hours' walk. Do you want to rest in the town before leaving tomorrow?"
Cao Mang said outside the window.
"Then we'll spend the night in the town ahead."
Nie Chong nodded.
The motorcade continued to move forward, when a man carrying two baskets and wearing a bamboo hat appeared in front of them.
As if he heard the sound of the convoy behind him, he moved to the side of the road, lowered his head, and let the convoy continue to move forward.
After the convoy left.
The man wearing the bamboo hat slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head and opened the basket in front of him. There was a child in the basket, who was the Five Poisons boy.
The one wearing the bamboo hat was Cui Wuhu. The two of them were here to kill Nie Chong, the son of King Wu, or to capture Nie Chong so that Liu Liqing could take action against him.
"Young Master Five Poisons, when will they be poisoned?"
Cui Wuhu said.
"After a while, some weak people will bleed to death. About five people will die. Once these five people die, I believe they will panic in their hearts."
"Five people died, someone must handle the bodies, and the people who handle the bodies will also be there
Died in town. "
There was a sneer on Wudu boy's face.
"Based on the time, they should arrive at Songyuan Town ahead in the evening!"
"I hope we can scare them tonight so that we can have a chance to take away Nie Chong!"
Cui Wuhu said.
"Don't think it's that simple! The leader, the big man in mail, is much stronger than us, and there are also strong men in the carriage. We'd better not attack head on."
The Five Poison Boy spoke.
"It's good to use poison, but I'm afraid it will leave some traces. When the time comes, I will trace it and suspect you!"
Cui Wuhu said.
"Let the Cao brothers dispose of all the corpses left behind without leaving any traces!"
The Five Poison Boy said in a deep voice.
At this moment, he seemed a little excited. He used poison to kill people who were stronger than himself, leaving these people in a state of fear and dying in this state of mind.
It's a very exciting thing.
"Walk!"
The Five Poison Boy said to Cui Wuhu.
Cui Wuhu, on the other hand, carried his burden and rushed directly into the dense forest next to the official road and continued to follow the convoy.
The convoy continued on.
After some time.
Suddenly some guards on horseback covered their necks, screamed, fell off their horses, and sprayed white foam from their mouths. His eyes bulged, his body twitched a few times, and he lost his breath.
Under this circumstance, the convoy came to a halt.
The guards who were close to these people stepped forward to check.
"Commander, they are poisoned!"
One person had a look of horror on his face and said,
When the leader, Cao Mang, heard this, he jumped off his horse and came to a dead guard who was foaming at the mouth. He looked at the life and death situation on the other side and his eyes narrowed.
He quickly came to the other people, and after investigating, he frowned.
"Do you immediately check whether your body is poisoned?"
Cao Mang immediately ordered.
A group of guards used their energy to check whether they were poisoned, but found nothing.
"You guys wait here, I'll report it to my son!"
Cao Mang quickly came to Nie Chong's carriage.
"What happened?"
In the carriage, Nie Chong spoke.
"Five guards were suddenly poisoned and died. I have asked people to check themselves. No one else found out that they were poisoned."
Cao Mang reported back.
Hear what Cao Mang said.
The carriage suddenly became silent.
When Nie Chong opened his mouth to ask, Tong Kong suddenly shrank. They had just left the Huayuan area when something happened here.
"It seems our enemies are here. Get rid of those bodies and get to the town ahead as quickly as possible."
Inside the carriage, Nie Chong spoke.
"yes!"
Cao Mang took the order and arranged for three people to stay and deal with the five corpses. He jumped onto his horse and continued to move forward with the team.
The convoy continued to move forward, but the atmosphere became strange, especially the guards outside the carriage.
The five people who died were always with them and never left.
Now that these five people have been poisoned to death, they themselves may have been poisoned, but they have not been found out.
Such a mentality makes people nervous, and nervousness will increase the depression of the atmosphere.
inside the carriage
"This is a poison master, we have to be careful!"
Nie Chong said in a deep voice.
Previously, he thought someone would attack him directly, but he didn't expect that a master of poison would come.
Killing is invisible, killing is invisible.
Such people are terrible.
"Your Majesty, are you afraid?"
Ash
The man in robe looked at Nie Chong and said.
"I'm afraid, but I won't. If the other party doesn't attack me directly, then they probably don't have a chance to take action."
"And I believe that if he takes action against me, I will be able to find him!"
"Maybe tonight, I can meet him!"
A sneer appeared on Nie Chong's lips.
