Three days have passed, and the people sent out did not bring any good news to Lord Cang Teng. On the contrary, the soldiers of the armed guards carried back the body of a Cang Teng swordsman.
Red bumps appeared all over the swordsman's body, which are symptoms of ant bite poison. People who are poisoned by this poison will have rashes all over their body like poisonous ant bites, unbearable pain, difficulty breathing, suffocation in the chest, and soon lose their voice.
Not only was it difficult to resist the enemy, but he also lost the ability to call for help.
Shao Kefan just stood up from the corpse with a solemn expression, and someone came to report: 50,000 soldiers from the Kingdom of Eagle, under the pretext of looking for the head of the third prince, were blocking and killing the soldiers sent by Cang Teng everywhere.
The soldiers sent by Cang Teng to find the remains were divided into numerous small groups, each with only fifteen people and responsible for thirty specific hills. This was a good strategy, but it provided an opportunity for the Eagle to kill.
If this continues... Shao Kefan frowned.
Hearing the king's call, Ji Chen, Lou Zhongquan, and Shui Ming hurried into Qiming Palace. When they saw the red and swollen body, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
"Send the order to recall all the swordsmen, counselors, and soldiers of the armed guards." Shao Kefan's tone was as firm as when he ordered everyone to find his body a few days ago.
"I have also heard about the people sent by the Eagles to kill the people sent by Cang Teng while searching for the body." Lou Zhongquan said, "Don't be surprised, Wang. I felt that that day... it was really unreasonable to send so many people out to find a body."
inappropriate."
Shao Kefan laughed to himself, "I was confused at the time. I just wanted to find the body quickly, but I didn't think about it and fell into the arms of an eagle."
"King, after the recall, Zhong Quan, Ji Chen, I, and I can go and look for him secretly." Shui Ming, who was slender and tall with a delicate face, said.
"Yes, there are only a few people. The person who took away the body must have hidden it in a hidden place. You only need to go to the hidden place to find it." Shao Kefan said sadly, as if he saw the alluring woman in yellow clothes again.
.
"The matter has come to this, I hope the king will not be too sad." Seeing this, Ji Chen couldn't bear it. That time, after he and Shu Zhen were both injured, he followed Lord Cang Teng into the palace. Although he had his own selfish intention of revenge, in the past year,
, he was gradually attracted by the king's spirit and courage, and became loyal to him, even to the death.
"Everyone else can come back, but Ming Chan, Liu Chengyi, Hua Jihuan, and Guo Qinqin, let them be the food for the weeds!" Shao Kefan's tone suddenly became harsh, pointing out the expressions on the hall in the past few days.
Four strange people.
The three of them looked at each other and understood the reason without asking any questions. However, this time the king's execution method seemed to be much more tolerant.
"Lingchi, skinning, I am tired of watching. Those who betrayed me, I don't want to see them appear in the palace, but I will never let them die so happily." The monarch sneered, "I will
I will give you a drug more poisonous than what Zheng Xiaohan used, and notify the other swordsmen to surround and kill the four of them."
The small groups of soldiers who received the news secretly returned to Cangteng under the leadership of their generals. Although many groups were blocked and killed by the Eagle soldiers, half of the soldiers still returned to Cangteng after three days.
After learning of Cang Teng's order to withdraw, Ming Chan hurried towards Ying Zhi in order to retaliate. Zheng Xiaohan dispatched a strong military guard to surround Cang Teng Swordsman's counselors so that Ying Swordsman could kill them.
However, just halfway through, more than forty Cang Teng swordsmen flew in from all directions and surrounded him. As they landed, there were three corpses, one male corpse, Liu Chengyi, and the other two female corpses,
Hua Jihuan and Guo Qinqin's faces were distorted, as if they had suffered a lot before they died.
What is surprising is that there is a hole the size of a finger between the eyebrows and the temple of the corpse. It is bottomless, as if something has been drilled into it. Although there is no ulcer, redness or other disgusting features, it is
It makes people feel chilly.
As if he had guessed something, Ming Chan felt nervous. He looked at the unkind faces in front of him and forced a smile, "Are you all here to pick me up and go back together?"
"Oh, well, we received an order to leave you, a traitor, in the wilderness for nourishment." Such a voice sounded from Cang Teng Swordsman.
Ming Chan frowned and looked at his three colleagues among the swordsmen, Lou Zhongquan, Shui Ming and Kou Ren, suggesting that they should fight to the death together.
However, hesitation was written on the faces of the three of them. He might not know that Lou Zhongquan and Shui Ming could not help him. As for Kou Ren, he was also worried that there were too many Cang Teng swordsmen and he would not die in vain.
At the critical moment, everyone should take care of themselves... Ming Chan sneered in his heart.
"How can you tell that I am a traitor? I have always been loyal to Cang Teng. Does calling me a traitor mean that I am a traitor?" He knew that he could only save his life by delaying as much time as possible.
His fingers made a small circle, and an invisible air flow was released from the hand behind his back, rising upward at an extremely fast speed. No one around the swordsman noticed it, and a yellow and green cloud in the sky trembled.
trembling.
This is Ming Chan's specially trained communication skills. Except for Ying Zhi's colleagues, no one knows about this unique skill of his.
"The king said you were a traitor, and you are, you can't be wrong." A swordsman crossed his arms and smiled coldly.
Most of the swordsmen around him were silent, with frosty eyes and determination to kill him.
Lou Zhongquan, Shui Ming, and Ji Chen were also among them. They were the ones who administered the brain-invading poison to the three dead spies.
Seeing his former colleague in a desperate situation, Lou Zhongquan felt a little emotional and whispered to Shui Ming, "Wait a minute, we won't take action. Anyway, he can't escape this disaster."
Shui Ming nodded, "That's what I meant. He has taken care of us. Otherwise, we would not have poisoned him and let him die a little bit like last night."
Lou Zhongquan frowned, "The last grain of poison is in Jichen's hands."
The two of them looked at Ji Chen at the same time. Ji Chen was staring at the skull-invading poison in his palm with a look of anticipation. As long as he entered the mouth of the trapped beast, he could experience an invisible force slowly coming from the center of his eyebrows and temples on both sides.
When the pain comes in, I just hold my head and cry, how can I have the energy to fight the enemy?
"Ji Chen, give me the medicine." Lou Zhongquan walked up to Ji Chen and stretched out his hand.
As if he understood something, Ji Chen grasped the medicine tightly and said, "The king said that I will give the medicine to deal with Ming Chan, so I refrained from poisoning the first three times."
Some of the swordsmen were noisy, and a few impetuous ones quarreled and fought with Mingchan.
Others just watched the fun indifferently, and they were not in a hurry to take action.
"He may have thought that I was his companion, so he relaxed his vigilance towards me so that he could attack me more easily." Lou Zhongquan's face darkened. The monarch was still on guard against him!
"Don't worry, I'm not bad at poisoning. I won't let you down." Ji Chen moved his position and stopped talking to him.
"Oh my God, I have always been loyal, but I was suspected and lost my life. It's unfair!" Ming Chan shouted, sitting on the ground, beating his chest and feet, like a child.
He acted innocent.
He was only twenty-four years old and did not want to die prematurely.
"I also thought that after finding the body, I would celebrate with everyone! Who would have thought that it would be like this."
A drop of tear left on his face. No one could imagine that he was the leader of the spy sent by the Eagle to Cangteng.
"Stop pretending, everyone, come on, he is stalling for time. Eagle's swordsmen are twice as many as ours. Two people attack one person. Plus, they use poison. If the reinforcements arrive, we will not survive." Ji Chen shouted,
First he drew his sword and struck Ming Chan.
Seemingly having seen enough of the good show, everyone drew their swords with satisfaction.
"Shua." There was a chorus of sounds, and in an instant, the dazzling sword light flashed magnificently.
Ming Chan drew his sword to meet him, secretly determined to persist until reinforcements arrived.
"Let's guard against Ji Chen and don't let him poison us," Shui Ming whispered to Lou Zhongquan.
In order not to consume too much energy, Ming Chan only defended rather than attacked. However, surrounded by so many masters, he only had a chance to defend.
After about fifty moves, he received a sword blow on his back. Fortunately, he dodged in time and did not die under the sharp sword.
"Ah..." A scream sounded.
Jichen saw the opportunity and flicked the medicine into Mingchan's mouth. However, when he was about to enter his mouth, he was blocked by a sword.
Ji Chen was shocked and glanced at Lou Zhongquan and his wife subconsciously. However, they were both seriously accepting the challenge and there was no difference.
There are so many swords, and they are constantly changing their positions. The light emitted covers the sword body and is so intertwined that it is impossible to know which sword did the good deed.
Jichen had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, gritted his teeth, used his full strength, and joined the fiercely fighting team.
Several screams rang out in succession, and Ming Chan was stabbed several more times, and his gray clothes were dyed red with blood.
Fortunately, no vital parts were injured, and Mingchan still had the strength to resist, but if this continues, sooner or later, he will turn into a pile of meat.
The sword light from dozens of swords fell on him. If he had not avoided most of them deftly, he would have suffered more than just a few blows.
A Cang Teng swordsman with sharp eyes suddenly pointed at the junction of the wasteland and the sky, and shouted, "Look."
Hundreds of people flew in from far away.
"It's the Eagle's reinforcements, two against one. We can't defeat them. Everyone, please disperse." Ji Chen shouted.
Many of the Cang Teng swordsmen stopped and frowned, wondering whether they should fight one against two. Those who were still fighting with Ming Chan also slowed down their movements and expressed hesitation.
"They have Zheng Xiaohan's poison on them. Everyone, run away." Ji Chen stamped his feet anxiously.
Sure enough, after hearing the words "Zheng Xiaohan's poison", the Cang Teng swordsman abandoned the scarred Ming Chan, and dozens of people flew in the direction of Cang Teng.
It was Lou Zhongquan who blocked the medicine with his sword just now.
Ming Chan glanced gratefully at the backs of Lou Zhongquan and his wife. Amidst the noise caused by dozens of swords being swung, he could faintly feel the sound of a small object being shaken open. When he looked at it in a daze, he saw a sword engraved with "
The sword with the character "quan" was swinging outwards, and soon joined in the attack on him.
I heard that a colleague who went to Cang Teng to work as an informant mentioned that Lou Zhongquan was loyal to Cang Teng. Now it seems that it must be a rumor.
When more than a hundred swordsmen from the Eagles fell like raindrops around Ming Chan, Cang Teng Swordsman had already disappeared without a trace.
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed and mocked Cang Teng Swordsman.
"He ran away as soon as he saw us coming. The swordsman of Da Cang Teng is nothing more than that!"
"Yes, it's a pity that we didn't have a good fight. Otherwise, it would have been better to have Shao Kefan send people to carry away dozens of horrific corpses."
"It seems that we have not chosen the wrong person to be loyal to."
"Shao Kefan raised nothing more than a pile of wine bags and rice bags. I thought he was a useful person!"
"..."
The person who healed Mingchan stood up together with Mingchan, who had almost recovered his physical strength, and said calmly, "We just have a large number of people, and with the poison given by the monarch, it is difficult to win alone."
This sentence extinguished everyone's enthusiasm for attacking Cang Teng. The Eagle Swordsman quickly lost interest, and his attention finally shifted to Ming Chan.
"I explain to Zen, Cang Teng can't tolerate you anymore, so you can only stay with us in the Eagle." One swordsman joked, and the other swordsmen laughed kindly.
