Thinking of this, Liu Miao'er stood up and extinguished the fire in the cave. She opened her eyes wide and picked up Liu Miao'er without saying anything, and ran quickly towards the hinterland of Phoenix Mountain behind the valley.
"Man, you can't run away, we have to go and take a look."
At this time, Thirty-Six Stratagems were the best, but tigers roared in the forest. Liu Miao'er knew that those people had too much to take care of themselves. If they sneaked over now, they might be able to get some unexpected benefits. What's more, she
What she wants to do most now is to go back to the hunting ground and see if Yuan Shao and Yuan Jing are okay. If they enter Phoenix Mountain, she will have to go through a lot of trouble to get out.
Man lived in the mountains and forests, and had long been accustomed to the roaring tigers, croaking apes, and the roar of the wind. He originally wanted to take a look, but he was just afraid that Liu Miao'er would be scared, so he carried her and ran deep into the mountains. After all, he still remembered that time in Phoenix Mountain
I saw a little girl at the foot of the mountain in the north. When the little girl saw the beast attacking, she kept dropping drops of water.
He didn't care if other people fell into the water. If an incompetent person was eaten by a wild beast, it was because she was not strong enough. But subconsciously, he didn't want Liu Miao'er to fall into the water, so he thought about running away, but the little one he was holding
The woman didn't seem that scared.
Man smiled, hugged Liu Miao'er and ran towards the place where the sound came from. The birds resting in the woods had been blown away, and Liu Miao'er heard a deafening scream after a human scream.
The roar of the tiger spread far away along the mountains and woods, and it seemed that the echoes from the distant mountain walls could still be heard.
In the inaccessible place, the trees are lush and there are hiding places everywhere. Man took Liu Miao'er and sneaked there carefully, and saw green smoke rising not far away. Looking at it in the moonlight, it looked like a veil lingering in the forest.
It was very soft and beautiful. Because she didn't know how good these people were in martial arts, Liu Miao'er asked Man not to get too close. The two of them lowered their breaths and lay on the branches of a big tree, looking down at the people sitting around them.
A dozen men in black beside the fire.
They were all dressed in black, carrying a big bow on their backs, and holding arrows in their hands. Next to them stood a huge tiger. Judging from the body shape and coat color, they were much larger than the one Liu Miaoer met during the day.
Fortunately, the ones I met were still small!
Liu Miaoer secretly rejoiced, but she saw those people gathered together after lighting the fire. At first, no one spoke, the man in black was silent, and everyone looked at the fire. But soon, there was movement in the woods, Liu
Miao'er held her breath and looked, another man in black came in, but he looked like the leader of this group of people.
"Boss, have you found a way out?"
One of the men in black stood up and looked at the leader.
"A way out! Bah! There is no way out! This Phoenix Mountain seems unremarkable, but it is full of dangerous passes. Now the nearest way out is the royal hunting ground not far away. But people say that the emperor is injured, and the royal hunting ground is heavily guarded.
No one is allowed in or out!”
The leader had a sullen look on his face and a fierce look in his eyes.
"There is no way out! So what should we do? Boss, although we want to rely on the power of the Queen Mother this time to gain some meritorious status and avoid being hunted down by decent people in the world, we don't want to lose our lives. I heard that there are so many wild beasts in Phoenix Mountain.
, if we die here, what’s the point of everything we do today!”
The leader's words were like a stone thrown into the calm lake. Everyone lowered their heads and whispered among themselves. When someone said this, they hurriedly agreed. What they said was that they could not lose themselves in order to avoid the pursuit of the decent people in the world.
's life.
After hearing this, Liu Miao'er finally understood that these people were people from the Jianghu who wanted to join the imperial court in order to avoid the vendetta. However, it was not Yuan Sheng who joined them, but the Queen Mother.
The leader was a little irritated by the noise, and was pacing back and forth in front of the fire. The worries of everyone seemed to be on his mind, but for a while, he couldn't think of any solution.
"Boss, should we ask Eunuch Ning who is beside the Queen Mother?"
One of the men in black thought for a long time and finally felt that since they were involved now, the Queen Mother should take responsibility.
"Eunuch Ning? I would like to see him, but now, where are we going to find him?" The leader was furious and stabbed the tiger on the side with his sword to vent his anger. He thought that there were all dignitaries in this forest.
The nobles are easy to deal with, except for the famous King Runan. But it turns out that it is not so easy to influence the people in the court. Even the unarmed Princess Runan is protected by secret guards.
Those secret guards had superb martial arts. If they hadn't been in large numbers, it would have been a problem whether they could have escaped from the hands of the black-robed men and the shadows.
The leader was very confused. Now, he desperately wanted to see Eunuch Ning. With this thought in his mind, he suddenly felt that someone was coming in the woods.
"Quickly put out the fire!"
Only then did a group of men in black remember how big the target of the fire was, but it was too late. The sound of footsteps came from the woods, and the sound of breaking dead branches was very clear, making every man in black prepare for a chill down their spines. But it was that
The leader was somewhat calm, looked at the dazed black figure in the woods, and shouted: "Who is that!"
This loud shout made the people in the forest stop. They looked at everyone with a pair of gloomy eyes, but they laughed first: "It seems that you are also a group of people who can't make it happen, so that the emperor can return to the hunting ground safely!
"
This voice is Eunuch Ning!
All the men in black looked surprised and wanted to ask Eunuch Ning how the situation was outside, but the leader stopped everyone and made way for the people in the forest to go out.
Under the firelight, that white-faced, beardless man with gloomy eyes could not be Eunuch Ning beside the Queen Mother. Who could he be?
"Eunuch Ning, it is indeed our fault today! But Eunuch Ning, you didn't tell our brothers that there are such powerful people around Princess Runan, let alone tell us that the emperor's mount is not simple!" Facing Ning,
The leader didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about the father-in-law's accusation. Instead, he frowned and questioned.
In this attack, they lost more than half of their brothers!
"So, you still want to take credit?" Eunuch Ning smiled, stood by the fire and added several branches to make the fire brighter.
"I don't dare to take credit, but so many people have been lost. Half of the reason is because the information you gave me, Eunuch Ning, is inaccurate! I think we don't have credit, but we have hard work! The Queen Mother has a great love for the world, how can she still want to default on the debt!"
When the leader heard Eunuch Ning's tone, he couldn't help but get angry. They had worked so hard to lurk for so many days, but they couldn't let it go just because of Eunuch Ning's words.
Under the firelight, Liu Miao'er clearly saw the murderous intent flashing through Eunuch Ning's eyes, and even saw the powder that Eunuch Ning sprinkled into the fire when he was adding firewood.
poison!
This was Liu Miao'er's first reaction. Without saying a word, she took out the antidote medicine that she had always carried with her from the secret pocket of her inner coat, and gave Man one each to herself. Then she saw Eunuch Ning stand up with a smile on her face.
, it seems that he has a kind face and kind eyes.
Just what he said made those men in black immediately tense.
"Didn't pay? Haha, I'm here today just to settle accounts with you. To assassinate the Holy Lord, I should kill the nine tribes! But the Queen Mother is compassionate and just let me deal with you. So, I came here without any trouble, just
To send you on your way, I hope you have a safe journey. As for those so-called pursuits in the rivers and lakes, everyone is dead, is there anyone still pursuing them?"
Eunuch Ning laughed, his smile was sinister and treacherous. The man in black immediately drew his sword and stabbed at Eunuch Ning. But as soon as he moved, he felt dizzy. Everyone secretly screamed, and the leader hurriedly pounced.
He went over to put out the fire, but Eunuch Ning attacked him sneakily and slapped him to the ground.
"Boss!"
Everyone was shocked and angry, but they had no strength to resist at this time. Eunuch Ning walked towards the leader, looked at the man who was lying on the ground and was dying, and showed a very sarcastic smile: "Today, I can be regarded as avenging the emperor.
Vengeful."
"You!" The leader was indignant. He stood up but was stepped down by Eunuch Ning. Only then did the leader realize that his group had been deceived. The Empress Dowager said that as long as the emperor was killed, she would be in power. She was a female prostitute.
Naturally, this generation needs the help of heroes like them, but they don’t know that there is the truth behind this imperial power. They are wrong, and they are so wrong.
However, he has been in the arena for so many years, and has been hunted by the entire arena for a full ten years. Do you think he is still alive just because of luck?
The leader laughed, his laughter was sad and arrogant, which made Eunuch Ning's expression change drastically.
"Hahaha, Eunuch Ning, you think everything will be fine if you kill us. To tell you the truth, when I cooperated with you, I already understood that the most ruthless emperors are those who would sacrifice their own children for the sake of imperial power.
There is nothing that can't be done. When it comes to assassinating the emperor or killing Princess Runan, the Queen Mother is really far-sighted. I think the emperor will be furious after what happened today. By then, the emperor will focus on the royal family.
In the garden, would it be more convenient for the Queen Mother to do her own thing? What a pity, what a pity, before coming here, I had someone quietly give Lord Zhou Yifeng a letter, asking him to pay attention to the people in the palace.
Even the movements of people in the imperial tomb!"
After the leader finished speaking excitedly, he spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood stained Eunuch Ning's mountain boots red, making his originally gentle face suddenly darken.
He didn't expect that he would be tricked by this Jianghu man!
"If that's the case, then you should die!"
Unexpectedly, things would develop like this. Eunuch Ning knew that he could not delay any longer, so he slapped the leader on the forehead.
Seeing the leader fall, he pulled out the software from his waist and killed all the men in black. The smell of blood filled the forest instantly. After killing the people, Eunuch Ning entered the forest and hurriedly ran away.
And he went, apparently to go back and inform the Queen Mother.
Liu Miao'er, on the other hand, was completely stunned by the news. She always thought that the Queen Mother gave her an imperial edict to let her go to the Hou Yi Conference no matter what. She also thought that the Queen Mother's goal was the Hou Yi Conference. Even just now, she
I was still thinking about the benefits of assassinating the emperor to the Queen Mother. Now I understand that if she is asked to come over, Yuan Shao will definitely come, and Yuan Sheng must come, so as long as something happens here, the emperor's assassination will attract everyone's attention
I hit it right here, but I didn’t expect that this would be a cover-up from beginning to end!
Queen Mother Wanji!
It’s truly unfathomable!
It's a pity that she chose the wrong person. The leader is not stupid!
Is this just like the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind?
Soon, the people walked away, and there was only the sound of wind passing through the forest. Liu Miaoer and Man defended themselves and were not poisoned. They breathed a sigh of relief and felt that there was no one in the woods. They were about to jump down, but were beaten by Man.
Pulling back, she turned her head and saw his burning gaze staring ahead, paused slightly, and then Liu Miaoer also heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away.
The fire was the only beacon in the darkness. Liu Miao'er didn't know how many people there were in the woods, and who was coming this time?
