Maomu covered his eyes painfully. He went to great lengths in order not to make any noise. This was because he knew that if anybody else in the village was disturbed, something worse would happen to him. He had been here once, so he knew only too well how terrifying this village was. While the villagers appeared to be some skinny men and old women, they were all good at either poisoning or martial arts, like the young man who had tried hard to stop Leng Changxi from attacking with his arm next to the well.
"You have overrated your ability," Leng Changxi said to Maomu viciously. He would have killed Maomu because he acted against orders and killed such an important mole, were it not for his remaining value.
Maomu pushed Leng Changxi lightly and then gently stroked Qin Yunuan's feet, "Help me! Please help me! Madam Tuoba, I know that you've learned some leechcraft before. Help me." Qin Yunuan raised her head. Since Sun Miaoyang had been in her courtyard for s
Two hours. Hearing that, Leng Changxi frowned a little. It implied that someone had started off at least two hours earlier than they did. Who indeed was following them so closely?No. He was not following them. The man was walking even ahead of them.In front of the snake cave, there was still residential heat on the faggots which hadn't been burned out yet. The grass and wood beside it were cleared, which obviously was done when the man was resting. The cave was dark inside. Cha was not seen anywhere. The soldier kidnapped by the huge python was very likely to have little chance of surviving.Wanyan Su ordered the soldiers to tie the torches. In the wild, fire and water were both of great importance. This time, however, he asked people to take out a dozen torches at one time. He also seemed to feel worried about the man showing up in Yeren Valley without reason.The torches were set to fire one after another. The smoke rose up slowly. Wanyan Su
While speaking, Qin Yunuan put the fourth map back. Wanyan Su tended to stop her and asked, "Are you sure about this? What if you're wrong?""Or, do you have any better way?" Qin Yunuan stroked the other three map pieces and tried hard to recall every hint she saw in Sun Chengzhen's room. But he was so cautious and left a few messages. As for why she could infer a clue from the Sparrow Tongue tea, she had learned something about it, when she followed Shen Xun to make deals with tea traders in the regions south of the River.Wanyan Su was worried and said, "Mrs. Leng, do you know you are putting 170 lives at risk by doing so?""So what?" Qin Yunuan turned her head slightly. Seemingly, Wanyan Su could look into her black eyes through the white silk. Although she couldn't see now, she was still able to read other people's minds. "If we choose to stay here or take rash actions, we're doomed to die too. Your Highness, please make it clear that you h
Hearing Qin Yunuan's question, Yaqi was on the alert, and then she stayed calm. Slowly coiling her wet hair at the back of her head, she answered reverently, "Madam, it's because I'm washing my hair.""Washing your hair?" Qin Yunuan raised her voice a bit and continued, "It's dry in North Di, and people seldom wash their hair. We have no big event today. Why do you wash your hair?""Madam, today is my mother's death anniversary. I want to pray for her, so I'm taking a shower.""Oh, really?" Qin Yunuan walked to her with a smile, making the log on the ground together with the felt creak. She reached out and put Yaqi's hand on her palm. This seemingly gentle gesture, however, made Yaqi tremble."If you just take a shower, why are your fingers so pale? Yaqi, how long have you been in the bath? Two hours or four? Eh?"Qin Yunuan's words stabbed in Yaqi's chest like a poisonous hook, and she couldn't stand being sounded out
"This isn't something that you should worry about," Leng Changxi turned sideways and said to Lu Wuyi, "Your only tasks are to make poison and antidote.""Do you really think that there is a mystery tribe in the dangerous Yeren Valley?" Lu Wuyi raised his tone, "All I can see are snakes and beasts here, but no traces of human beings."The chilly wind in the night made Lu Wuyi sneeze. Somehow, he felt like there were eyes looking at him in the dark, demon-like eyes. They were looking at the throat, as if they were waiting for a chance to stab through it."That's only because we can't see them. It doesn't mean that they don't exist." Leng Changxi turned around and said to Lu Wuyi, his cold eyes glittered through his silver mask."That's right." Qin Yunuan said, "Did you still remember what Maomu said that when he came to the Yeren Valley seven years ago? There was a conflict between them, yet he was the only survivor. He would just ne
The tents, food and other necessities of the 160-man squad were originally carried by seven horses. Now that the horses could no longer proceed, every one of them was carrying much more weight. As for the horses, they let go of the older ones and killed the younger ones for their meat. They need to utilize everything they could.They killed the horses in tears. The North Di people treasured their horses a lot, even more than their own lives. Seeing the soldiers killing horses, Leng Changxi turned his head away. He knew clearly about their pain.As they were about to leave, someone was feeling unfair."Wait, why do we all have to carry so much stuff, apart from Madam Tuoba, who's a lady, why is the rumored powerful Mr. Tuoba only carrying a spear with him?" After saying that, he threw a horse leg at Leng Changxi provocatively and said, "Come on, Mr. Tuoba, carry this horse leg. We are all equal. Look around. Every one of us carries two horse leg
The congee was toxic?Qin Yunuan looked at the porridge naturally. She had drunken most of the porridge. Leng Changxi got nervous and held the pulse of Qin Yunuan more tightly. Among all people here, there were only Cha and Qin Yunuan who drank the porridge, and the other people were fine. Lu Wuyi frowned and treated A Mo. He finally concluded that there was virulent gelsemium elegan in the porridge. Only a small amount could make people die in a short time.Suddenly, Leng Changxi felt a quiver in his heart heavily. He wanted to summon Lu Wuyi to treat Qin Yunuan, but Qin Yunuan stopped him."Did you feel anything abnormal about my pulse just now?"Leng Changxi calmed down. He pondered clearly and said, "Nothing abnormal. Your pulse is stable and strong.""Cha and I drunk the porridge. Cha gets some trouble, but I am fine. There are only two possibilities. Someone wanted to hurt Cha and added poison into his porridge,
The long spear of Leng Changxi was made of dark iron, which was extremely sharp. He poked the long spear deeply into a person's body and caused a massive hemorrhage. The scout in the front evaded quickly but still got bloody stains on her arm.Cha rushed to the front first. After he made sure that it was safe around, he checked the poked male adult in coarse brown gown. Leng Changxi had poked his carotid and caused blood splashing. The male adult seemed to still alive. Cha squinted and then trod the face of this man who was almost dead. After a ringing sound, the man died completely.The dark brown coarse gown was exactly identical to what Leng Changxi saw on the hillside. It could conclude that this man was a member of that mysterious tribe. His hair was tousy and dirty, and there was a middle-sized scar that seemed to be caused by some ferocious animals. It might be the reason why he fell behind and stayed in Yingguang Lake."What a pity," Wa
This man's eyebrows were slightly raised, with a trace of feminine temptation and charm. His appearance was womanly beautiful, but he was a man, a slutty man."Presumptuous!" In his illusion, Prince Ning was only in his mid-twenties, daring and high-spirited. This unknown general's teasing and flirting with the princess irritated him. He even shook the long sword in his hand, saying to the person in the silver armor, "You have to pay for your own words."After a fight, in the moving shadows of the sword, it was obvious that the man in silver armor showed mercy to Prince Ning and his men. However, Prince Ning became more aggressive. Then the silver armor flashed, and Prince Ning lay on the ground after an unguarded moment.The man in silver armor gave a faint, evil smile with a kind of elegant grace. His eyes were similar to those peerless beauties. They seemed to be able to knock people down.Normal people would avoid this man. But
