The dots of light in the canyon flickered on and off, constantly moving.
Those six people moved very quickly. The guards patrolling the edge of the camp were torn apart by the force in an instant, and their blood flew everywhere. Before they could make a sound, they were dead.
Qin Zeng stood on a high place with his hands behind his hands, watching the bright spots on the edge of the camp extinguished one by one from the outside to the inside.
Nagasawa stood beside him and said: "The team stationed below is well-trained. They are by no means ordinary guards, let alone some mountain bandits. The subordinates have been observing for several days. If they had not known the details earlier and took advantage of the night It’s really going to take a lot of trouble to kill this group of people in a sneak attack.”
Qin Zeng said a deep "hmm" and looked at the barrels of kerosene flowing silently on the ground.
The people in the camp below finally noticed something was wrong.
"What's going on! What does it smell like?"
The smell of kerosene attracted some people's attention, and the commotion grew louder.
"Oops! Go and report to Lord Ge!"
"There's an ambush!"
Someone screamed, but it was too late!
A sharp whistling sound resounded through the entire forest, and ignited arrow clusters flew down one after another. The line of fire quickly traveled through the camp, and soon the entire camp was surrounded by water.
The six people who had gone down earlier came back to stand next to Qin Zeng almost at the same time. Read the book
Immediately, Qin Zeng raised his arm, and arrows poured down like rain. The momentum was even denser and more intense than when he was ambushed on the outskirts of Beijing that day.
Puff puff!
Some people who rushed out of the line of fire were not spared. They were instantly penetrated by arrows and fell to the ground with a muffled groan.
The people inside were caught off guard. Such a devastating battle was frightening!
In the camp, Ge Jin's expression changed drastically. This was a planned sneak attack. Not only did these people know how many of them there were, but they also knew their sentinels' schedules, rest schedules, and troop layouts clearly!
This canyon is very hidden, and anyone who accidentally enters here will not be left alive!
It's impossible for anyone to know. Could it be that he has a female agent under his command?
impossible!
These people were carefully selected, trained since childhood and then sent here in batches. Everyone was of clean status and could not have anything to do with anyone, but at this time he had no time to think too much!
Ge Jin shouted: "Formulate!"
He is the adviser to the fourth prince and an excellent soldier.
The Third Battalion has been in his hands for so many years, and there has never been a mistake. Every mission has been completed beautifully.
His understanding of conspiracies far exceeds that of others, and his grasp of the entire battle situation is rare in the world. The reason why he surrenders to the Mu family and the fourth prince is because they can give him exactly what he wants. .
That is to strategize and keep fighting!
Ge Jin looked at the less than half of the people left in front of him, and felt really heartbroken. These people were all trained under him, and he spent countless efforts on each one...Who on earth are they!
Who betrayed them?
Ge Jin's eyes turned red, "Let's rush out!"
No one responded, but everyone obeyed without hesitation!
They have experienced countless battles between life and death, so they believe that this time, Ge Jin can lead them out of the siege.
But at this moment, an inconspicuous figure in the assembled team was like a wisp of smoke, floating among the entire team. There was no scream, no gorgeous killing move, but in the blink of an eye, Ge Jin's head Flying high into the sky instantly!
No one could react. Ge Jin, who was standing in front of them just a moment ago to lead them out of the siege, was now dead and dismembered!
It wasn't until Ge Jin's standing body fell to the ground with blood splattering that they recovered from the shock. However, the assassin lurking among them had already disappeared without a trace!
There was no time to breathe, as countless men in black suddenly passed by in all directions.
The air became thin as if it was being cut apart.
They looked indifferent, changed positions from time to time, and rushed into the team to fight at an astonishing speed!
The cold blade glowing with white light kept cutting through the flesh and blood, like a blood-sucking demon blade.
Qin Zeng's deep voice reached everyone's ears: "Fight quickly and decide quickly!"
*****
In the Zhuoxiang Courtyard of the Wei Mansion, Li Qingyi was soaking in a steamy bathtub and told several girls, "You all go and do your own work. I will stay by myself for a while and think about something."
Heng Wu agreed and was about to take Chang Lan and the others out when someone from Jinhua Courtyard came.
"This is specially made by the princess using pearl powder and flower petals. Add some to the bathtub when bathing to keep your skin smooth, tender and white."
"Ah, that's a coincidence. The girl is taking a bath. I'll take it in right now."
Isatis happily held the things and entered the house, "Girl, the princess sent it to you. It smells so good. Do you want to try it?"
Li Qingyi straightened up, took a look, and said with a smile, "That's it for today. The heat makes me a little sleepy, so I won't take a bath anymore. Hengwu, please help me get dressed."
She got out of the tub and asked, "Chang Ning hasn't come back yet?"
"not yet."
"Then I'll take a nap first."
"After all, I have to wring your hair. If you sleep with your hair wet, you will get a headache."
Li Qingyi endured his sleepiness and let Heng Wu wipe his hair, when he heard a "stab" from the other side, followed by Heng Wu's scream.
"What's wrong?"
Chang Lan rushed over immediately and saw a puddle of water in front of Isatis, sizzling with foam.
She paused and took a look, her face darkened.
"It's corpse powder!"
When Li Qingyi heard this, his expression turned ugly.
Isatis was so frightened that her whole face turned pale, and she stammered: "I wanted to smell it again, so I accidentally tilted the tray, and a little bit of the pearl powder inside came out, just...just right when the girl came out of the bath. Take it outside to a small pool of water..."
Pearl powder is mixed with corpse powder.
What would be the consequences if Li Qingyi poured that thing into the tub when he was taking a bath?
Even if the girls were around and could pull her out of the tub when the incident happened, the skin all over her body would inevitably corrode!
Chang Lan gritted his teeth, "Girl, it must be Wei Lan'er!"
Heng Wu asked: "How can you see it?"
Ji Lan said with a pale face, "The girl who just gave me the gift is from Jinhua Academy. I've met her before."
"Have you forgotten Mother Wu in our courtyard? The third bedroom can place people in the girl's courtyard, and of course it can be placed in the princess's courtyard."
"Then why do you think you are Miss Wei San?"
Chang Lan said with a gloomy face: "Wei Lan'er arrested Zhao's mother and son. Zhao once said that she was looking for an opportunity to add caustic soda to Wei Baozhu's bath water in order to take revenge, but she didn't find the opportunity. I was outside the house and could hear clearly. Clearly, Weilander said it was a good idea!"
Woad's hands were shaking so much that the pearl powder got on her fingertips.
Li Qingyi saw this and said, "Hurry up and wipe it off with a dry cloth, don't get any water on it."
Isatis put the things on the table and went to deal with the powder on her hands, and everyone walked over to take a look.
Because the pearl powder is mixed with fine petal powder, it shows a gentle and delicate light pink color. Who can tell that it is mixed with corpse powder?
Chang Lan said: "This is also mixed with strong alcohol. I'm afraid that once this thing gets into the water, the girl will faint before she can even shout..."
When a person faints and is soaked in the corpse-turning water, in less than half an hour, only bones and blood will remain.
Even if Li Qingyi lives his life again, his scalp will go numb with fear.
She thought for a while and said, "You all go out first. Just tell others that I am tired and want to take a quiet bath by myself."
The girls were all smart and smart, and they immediately understood what she meant.
If Wei Laner did it, she must be waiting for news from Zhuoxiangyuan!
The master and servants all looked fierce. They wanted to see if Weilander would come to see his masterpiece in person!
Heng Wu suppressed his fear and anger and led Chang Lan and Shi Lan out of Li Qingyi's bedroom.
The three of them exchanged colors, then pulled two little girls to talk quietly in the yard, as if they were waiting for Li Qingyi to finish bathing and call them in.
After a stick of incense, the bath water was about to get cold, and a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the courtyard.
The woman guarding the door quickly came over to report: "The third girl is here."
Chang Lan's eyes flashed, and he could hardly help but touch the soft sword at his waist.
Heng Wu tugged on her sleeve and said, "Let the third girl come in quickly."
Wei Laner was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, Bi Shu pushed her in, and the master and servant appeared in everyone's sight.
"Sister Li, have you gone to bed? I have something to ask Sister Li."
Heng Wu smiled lightly and said, "Not yet. The girl is taking a bath inside. It's almost time. I'll go in and take a look. Please wait a moment."
There was no unnecessary nonsense from either side.
Obviously, they are all eager to confirm their inner thoughts!
Heng Wu glanced at Chang Lan and Ji Lan, walked to the door, opened the door and walked in. He asked softly: "Girl, have you finished washing? The water is almost cold..."
Immediately afterwards, two short exclamations came from the room, followed by a frightening scream that could pierce the sky!
Weilander said almost immediately: "Go and see what happened!"
At this moment, she only hated that her legs and feet were not flexible, and that her wheelchair could not fly!
Changlan Silang seemed to be frightened and stood still. Wei Laner put aside Bi Shu and quickly rolled the wooden wheelchair to the door of the house without any obstruction.
She could even imagine Li Qingyi's bones soaking in a vat of blood, with only a ball of hair floating on top.
Such a terrifying scene made Wei Laner's blood boil!
The girl who went in earlier must have been so frightened that she fainted!
Wei Lan'er said in his heart: Li Qingyi, you deserve it, why do you always stand in front of me...
She reached out and pushed the door open.
The door was pushed open easily.
She looked inside the room and found Heng Wu lying behind the screen, with only one foot exposed.
Wei Laner felt ecstatic in his heart!
Done!
It's done!
Li Qingyi turned into a pool of blood!
Weilander quickly rolled the wooden wheelchair into the room and wanted to move towards the screen.
However, out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone standing to her left.
She turned back subconsciously, then was stunned.
