The man hurriedly got up from the ground and knelt in front of the masked man again.
"Yes, yes, eldest prince, it's the villain's fault. The villain shouldn't make his own claims."
"Eldest Prince, what should we do now? Miss Chen is also urging us to quickly find a way to get rid of Madam."
"Which Miss Chen do we know?" The man wearing a mask lowered his head and glanced coldly at the kneeling people.
The kneeling man raised his eyes to meet the masked man's gaze, froze for a moment, and nodded sharply.
"Yes, yes, we don't know Miss Chen. Everything was her idea and has nothing to do with us at all."
"I also put the jade pendant in for her. I will have no control over her affairs in the future."
"First Prince, please don't worry. She doesn't know about your existence either. If anything happens, I'll just take care of it."
The kneeling man raised his head and patted his chest: "I'll carry it, and I won't turn you in until I die."
"If the eldest prince hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't have survived to this day."
"At that time, I thought that the eldest prince died in the battle, so I fled the country of Yanhe. I didn't expect that you had been lurking in the country of Beimu."
"With the eldest prince here, we have hope of reviving the country, and hope of its rejuvenation."
Even Tuoba Keyan himself did not expect that when he was at a loss, he would actually meet his old subordinate at Nanman Fort.
In order to delay Feng Jiuer's footsteps, Tuoba Keyan asked his people to find Chen Xiaoyi.
Chen Xiaoyi wanted to become the wife of the castle lord, and also wanted to get rid of the Liang family's youngest daughter who was seducing the castle lord in her heart. She quickly agreed to cooperate.
As a result, more than a dozen members of the Liang family died overnight.
"As long as we find the treasure, we can restore our country." The masked man raised his eyes to look at the light coming from the treetops and half-squinted his eyes.
"Except for Jiu'er from Beimu Country, you don't need to report to me if you want to move anyone!"
"Yes." The man nodded in response.
"My people have been searching in all directions. I will leave the matters in the fort to you." Tuoba Keyan ordered in a cold voice.
"Yes, the eldest prince." The man raised his hands and stood up from the ground.
The masked man flicked his clothes and disappeared into the woods in an instant.
…
As night fell, in a corner of Nanman Fort, a woman walked into an alley in a panic.
In the gloomy, dark alley, it seems that there is a dark shadow.
"What are you doing? You haven't done anything all day, and you dare to invite me over?" The woman's deep voice sounded.
"Didn't I tell you that the Lord of the Castle wouldn't even let anyone touch that damn woman? If she doesn't die, how can I sit in her position?"
The dark figure with his back to the woman turned sideways and handed her a packet of medicinal powder.
"This is poison, kill that little slave." The man's voice was deep, obviously suppressed intentionally.
"What's the use of killing the slave?" The disguised woman took the powder, "I want that woman to die, the slave to die, who will testify against this damn woman!"
"Since the little slave is dead, can't I testify against her?" the man asked in a deep voice.
The woman calmed down and slowly relaxed her wrinkled eyes.
"You mean to make people suspect that the bitch killed the thing and that she wanted to kill people and silence them, right?"
"Yes." The man in black nodded, "I have to get things done quickly to avoid a long night of nightmares. Next, I have to rely on you to do things."
"Okay, as long as I become the wife of the castle owner, your affairs will be my affairs."
Without saying a word, the woman turned and left.
In the dark alley, the masked man in black turned around, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes.
The people of Tuoba Keyan are not idle people. Who would be willing to show their true colors when doing this kind of transaction?
In the dungeon of Nanman Fort, there is only a little candlelight, so you can see everything around you clearly.
The gloomy dungeon is filled with bad smells from time to time.
As usual, when it gets dark, someone will come to deliver food.
A plainly dressed woman walked into the dungeon carrying a basket.
The dungeon is a small room separated from each other, and there are very few rooms where people are locked up.
The woman holding the basket stopped in front of a house. She put the basket on her toes and raised her eyes slightly to look inside.
The little slave sitting on the haystack inside had dull eyes. The person who came in did not attract her attention.
Confirming that it was the person she was looking for, Chen Xiaoyi took out the food in the basket.
"Eat."
To be sure, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Tonight, she must watch her little slave die in front of her.
The little slave stood there frozen, indifferent.
Chen Xiaoyi frowned, coughed slightly, and her voice became a little clearer: "Don't worry, Madam will definitely find a way to save you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her head.
Hearing that the madam would save him, the little slave stood up and walked over.
Chen Xiaoyi looked at the slave squatting in front of her toes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
As long as the little slave dies, everyone will suspect that the bitch wants to kill someone. As long as the little slave dies, the bitch won't live long.
She has worked hard to get to this point, and she is determined to get this position as the wife of the castle owner.
Just as Xiaonu grabbed the bun and put it in his mouth, the sound of messy footsteps suddenly came from outside.
"Don't eat it! It's poisonous." The little cherry man's voice came in before he came.
Xiaonu's eyes widened, he turned his head and looked outside, and the bun in his hand fell to the ground.
Chen Xiaoyi raised her eyes and looked outside. Before she could see the situation clearly, she immediately lowered her head.
Outside, a group of people walked in, led by Feng Jiuer and the castle master.
Little Cherry was worried that the little slave had really eaten the poisonous buns, so she passed Feng Jiuer and walked in the front.
She didn't even look at the person standing, her eyes were fixed on Xiaonu.
"Have you eaten? Have you eaten?" Little Cherry stopped and asked as she was still ten feet away from Xiaonu.
Xiao Nu looked at her pitifully and shook his head, looking away. She raised her eyes and immediately took a few steps back.
"Why, how could it be poisonous?" Chen Xiaoyi's suppressed voice sounded.
It seemed that she felt the aura of the castle lord, which made it even more impossible for her to raise her head.
"I don't know what you are talking about, I..." Not daring to stay, Chen Xiaoyi lowered her head, turned around and walked out.
But Little Cherry opened her arms and blocked Chen Xiaoyi's way: "You are the one who poisoned me, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I didn't..." Chen Xiaoyi shook her head violently.
"What exactly is going on?" the castle master who came to them said in a deep voice.
Hearing the voice of the castle master and confirming that he was really here, Chen Xiaoyi's legs softened and she knelt down.
"I don't know anything."
She was still hiding her voice because she didn't know what excuse to make.
The castle master glanced at the kneeling man and his eyes fell on the food in the cell. It seemed that he did not recognize Chen Xiaoyi.
Without waiting for the castle master to speak, Feng Jiuer continued to move forward: "Whether it is poisoned or not, you will know once you find out."
