On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Seeing the shadow on the window move, Hou Bulai realized that the mysterious man was about to leave. He had not yet completed the task assigned by the King of Zhennan, and he became anxious.

"Wait a moment!"

Hou Bulai called out subconsciously.

The mysterious man stood still again. Hou Bulai's legs felt a little weak. He regretted what he said as soon as he said it, but now he had no choice but to go ahead.

He gritted his teeth, turned around, walked out of the house and went to the porch.

"Well, I have something I want to report to you. Please give me your instructions."

The mysterious man didn't say anything. He was wrapped in a black cloak and stood in the shadows. Not only his face, but even the rest of his skin could not be seen.

Hou Bulai quickly looked up, then lowered his head again, his calves shaking a little.

"I...I want to be the village chief."

He couldn't see the mysterious man's face or eyes, but he could feel his gaze.

The look just now was substantial, as sharp as a knife or a sword, but now it was a little more teasing.

"This is a matter between you and Feng Damazi."

Hou Bulai said quickly: "He can't do it. He is just a stupid and reckless man. If Fengzhai is in his hands, it will be destroyed sooner or later."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Hou Bulai choked and said, "I... I am not as strong as him. It is easy to kill him, but I am afraid that others will not accept it. If you can support me, then Fengzhai will be yours in the future. I will do whatever you say."

Hou Bulai's words were somewhat sincere, as he had indeed thought so before.

The mysterious man didn't say anything for a moment, probably thinking.

Hou Bulai was a little anxious, and said quickly: "Feng Damazi is a bad person, greedy and this time he wants to deduct money. If I hadn't persuaded him and said that it's not easy to go back on his word, he would only want to give you three hundred taels."

The mysterious man chuckled softly.

"Go ahead and kill him if you have the ability. If you can kill him and deal with it, you will be mine from now on."

Hou Bulai excitedly took two steps forward, wanting to get closer and take the opportunity to see more clearly.

But as soon as he came up, the flying claw flew out and grabbed his shoulder with a "click".

The sharp claws dug into his flesh without warning, and he was completely unprepared. He was in pain and fear, and he opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out.

"Back off!"

The mysterious man shouted coldly, raised his hand, and retracted the flying claw.

Hou Bulai then shouted: "Ah!"

However, he only shouted halfway, and the mysterious man said, "Shut up!"

Hou Bulai shut his mouth again, and the rest of the sound was muffled in his throat.

The wound was bleeding profusely, and he felt unprecedented pain and fear, which made his vision go black.

His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

The mysterious man sneered, turned around, tiptoed, and jumped over the courtyard wall.

However, as soon as his toes touched the ground, several gusts of wind rushed towards him.

He immediately flew into the air again, his black cloak spinning and rolling, and several arrows were swept down.

He looked up and saw a tall and slender man walking out of the darkness, giving off an oppressive vibe.

The King of Zhennan, Huo Changhe.

The mysterious man subconsciously took two steps back, but his way was blocked by two secret guards behind him.

Huo Changhe had nothing in his hands, but the sword at his waist carried a murderous aura.

"Who are you? Why did you instruct Hou Bulai to rob Jiang Yanmu?"

The mysterious man remained silent.

Huo Changhe's voice was icy: "Take him back."

Several secret guards immediately drew their weapons and surrounded him. The mysterious man touched the ground with his toes and quickly slid backwards, with his cloak spread out like huge wings.

Seeing this, Huo Changhe couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: "What an amazing Qinggong!"

The man's cloak was unfolded, revealing his figure. He was wearing a nightgown of the same color, broad shoulders, a strong waist, long legs, and a pair of thin-soled fast boots.

It's clearly a man's body.

The cloak on his head also fell off, revealing his tied-up hair.

Unfortunately, he was wearing a mask on his face, so his face couldn't be seen.

His hand trembled and the flying claw flew out. The secret guards raised their weapons to fight back, but he suddenly loosened his hand.

The flying claw landed on the ground, and the secret guard was stunned.

In that instant, the mysterious man's black cloak shook again, and the color of the cloak suddenly changed.

It was originally black, but now it is a fiery red.

Not to mention the secret guards, even Huo Changhe was stunned for a moment.

The color of the cloak changed, and the black mask on the mysterious man's face also turned red.

The secret guard was shocked.

The mysterious man shook his cloak again.

With a "bang", a ball of fire and a large cloud of smoke exploded.

The secret guard covered his mouth and nose and took two steps back.

Just as the smoke exploded, Huo Changhe threw out two hidden weapons, and the cold light struck the mysterious man in the middle of the smoke.

After the smoke cleared, as expected, the mysterious man was nowhere to be seen.

The secret guard blamed himself and felt ashamed: "Your Majesty, I am not doing my job well..."

Huo Changhe waved his hand and went closer to check. In the light of the flashlight, he saw a few drops of blood on the ground.

"It seems that my hidden weapon hit him."

"Search everywhere to see if you can find him."

"Yes."

The order was given like this, and Huo Changhe knew that there was little hope of finding it.

After waiting for such a long time, he was still allowed to run away. Huo Changhe couldn't help feeling unhappy.

But when I thought about what happened just now, I felt strange again.

A secret guard stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Hou Bulai is still unconscious. What should we do with him?"

"This man has committed many evil deeds and has taken many lives. We kept him alive to lure the mysterious man. Now that he has lost his usefulness, we will just throw him back to Yaofeng Village."

"Send one person to stay behind and see if there are any clues. If there are any clues within three days, we will discuss it separately. If not..."

There was no need to explain. The secret guard bowed and said, "I understand."

As expected, there was no trace of the mysterious man.

Huo Changhe had no choice but to return home.

Yan Ruyu was still writing the plan for the renovation and demolition of the old city under the lamp. This was the first time in this era and she did not have much experience. Many details needed to be carefully considered and improved according to the actual situation.

As he was writing, he heard footsteps, raised his eyebrows slightly, and put down his pen.

As soon as Huo Changhe entered the room, she went to greet him.

"why are not you sleeping?"

"I'm waiting for you," Yan Ruyu helped him take off his cloak, "Is it going wrong?"

Huo Changhe didn't want to bring his emotions to her, but he also didn't want to lie to her.

"how do you know?"

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "Footsteps, your footsteps are different."

Huo Changhe laughed dumbly: "Yu'er is smart, I can't hide it from you."

"I don't mean to hide it from you, I just feel that..."

"I feel a little unwilling to be unsuccessful after planning for so long," Yan Ruyu handed him a cup of hot tea, "What's the big deal? Winning and losing are common. Your Highness understands this principle better than me."

"Besides, the more important the matter is, the longer you should wait. Slow things down and things will be better."

Huo Changhe felt much better: "What Yu'er said makes me ashamed."

When Yan Ruyu saw his smile, she felt relieved as well.

After he drank half a cup of hot tea, he slowly asked, "Why did something go wrong?"

Huo Changhe sighed softly: "This is quite strange to talk about."

"It's not that Hou Bulai has a problem. He has also appeared where we expected. We are also ready to lay siege."

"But during the siege, his cloak suddenly changed, like a demon. While the secret guards were stunned, he threw out an unknown object. It was not the knockout pill you usually use. It exploded with fire and smoke."

Yan Ruyu felt that this was unusual: "The cloak has changed? Like a demon?"

"What's the change?"
