Ding Tu rolled his eyes, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand and said: "Okay."

Once he got the bayonet, would he still care about the promise he made? Ding Tu struggled to rise from the bottom of society. There was no promise or credit in his world. To him, these were just nonsense used to fool people.

"How credible can Lord Ding's words be?"

Taking the bayonet from Xiao Zhan's hand, Jiang Xue gently stroked the blade and looked at Ding Tu with a smile.

After learning about Ding Tu's appearance, she ordered people from Linglong Pavilion to investigate his background.

He was born into a poor family. His mother died because of him, and his father was addicted to gambling and often beat and scolded him.

Finally, when he was unable to pay off his gambling debts, he sent his only son to the palace to become a eunuch.

As a member of the royal family, she knew only too well how hard life in the palace was.

Some lucky ones might be able to live a slightly better life, but for most eunuchs, their fate was difficult.

It is said that the princes often enjoyed playing with the eunuchs, and the eunuchs even framed each other in order to compete for favor.

Ding Tu was created in such an environment. How true can his words be?

Jiang Xue didn't believe that he would leave easily after getting the weapon.

"Believe it or not, Princess, just try it and you will know."

There was a hint of viciousness in Ding Tu's eyes.

"Come on." Jiang Xuesong loosened his hand and threw the bayonet towards Ding Tu cleanly and neatly.

In the darkness of the night, a knife flashed. Ding Tu quickly jumped up to catch the bayonet and then swung it towards Jiang Xue.

However, just as the blade was about to touch her, Xiao Zhan's sword blocked the attack in time, and he took Jiang Xue and sidestepped away from Ding Tu. The latter staggered a few steps before steadying himself due to the great force.

When he tried to attack again, he found that the blood in his body was surging and his hands and feet suddenly lost consciousness!

"You!" He stared at Jiang Xue with wide eyes and fell to the ground weakly.

My body was completely out of control and I didn't even have the strength to hold the hilt of the knife.

"So you coated the knife with poison!" There was a sharp pain in the palm of my hand. I looked down and saw wisps of white smoke coming out of my palm.

At this moment, Ding Tu suddenly remembered how Jiang Xue stroked the blade just now, and immediately realized that it was at that time that she had poisoned the knife.

Jiang Xue said softly, "All is fair in war. Although I don't know how to deploy troops, I understand this sentence. Ding Tu is thoughtful. If I don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid I'll suffer a great loss."

In fact, if Xiao Zhan hadn't mentioned the bayonet just now, she wouldn't have thought of using this method to poison Ding Tu. She and Xiao Zhan smiled at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

Ding Tu is a martial arts expert. If he is not controlled, it will definitely cause quite a stir in the capital of Changle.

Her arrival is still a secret now. If it is exposed, she will be in big trouble.

So even if they could deal with Ding Tu, Jiang Xue didn't want to attract attention at this moment.

"What poison did you give me?" Ding Tu tried to use his internal strength to force out the poison, but found that the harder he tried, the weaker his body became.

"It's a poison." Jiang Xue replied, "Don't waste your energy. This kind of poison is not so easy to force out. It's not very toxic. It will only make people weak and limp.

The more you use your internal energy, the more the mother insect absorbs, and the faster your physical strength will be depleted. If you can endure not using your internal energy for twelve hours, you will feel much better after four hours. "

"Hmph! Princess Changle, this method is really not fair!" Ding Tu said breathlessly. He found that his power was disappearing rapidly as Jiang Xue said.

"I have never claimed to be a gentleman." Jiang Xue turned around and gave him a cold look, "Sir Ding, next time you want to take action, remember how you felt today."

After saying that, Jiang Xue and her group left the scene.

Soon, Wu Yungui appeared at the corner of the street, looked at Ding Tu lying on the ground, and said coldly: "I lost so many soldiers, and this is all you can do?"

"The young general is really humorous. Those soldiers guarding the city were originally the old general's men. You have long wanted to replace them. Now that they are all dead, it is just the right time for you to place your own people."

Faced with Ding Tu's sarcasm, Wu Yungui's face turned gloomy.

"Thank you very much for your reminder, Lord Ding." Wu Yungui's tone was full of obvious dissatisfaction, "Everyone says you are cunning, and your reputation is well-deserved. But I don't like the feeling of being seen through."

"You're too polite, General. I'm not feeling well right now. Could you please take me to the inn?" Ding Tu tried to move his fingers, but they were still powerless.

No one could help him except Wu Yungui.

He still needs to wait four hours to recover, and he can't just lie on the street and embarrass himself.

"Why should I help you?" Wu Yungui asked with a frown.

"I know you hate Jiang Xue to the core. I heard that your sister Wu Meifeng died at her hands. You are a descendant of a noble family loyal to the royal family. If you want revenge, you have to consider your family's reputation.

But I am different. I can do whatever I want. As long as you help me, I promise to get rid of that woman for you."

There was a flicker of fluctuation in Wu Yungui's eyes, and he started to think in his mind.

"Even if I didn't help, you would still act. Why should I help for nothing?"

"What the young general wants is the woman's life. As long as she dies, the goal will be achieved, and there is no need to dirty your hands. In this way, General Wu will not have any opinion on you."

After a moment's silence, Wu Yungui put down his chin, squatted down and carried Ding Tu.

"That `s a deal."

Mo Tian hurried to the mansion, knelt on one knee, and said with a guilty look on his face: "I am late and frightened the princess. Please punish me."

Jiang Xue gently raised her hand and motioned him to stand up: "You have an important task to do, so don't blame yourself. It's okay now, get up."

Mo Tian stood up and began to report to her about Changle's recent situation.

Although the people at Linglong Pavilion have informed us of the general situation, only insiders can know the specific details of the palace and the royal capital.

"General Wu was injured? When did this happen?" Jiang Xue asked in surprise.

Wu Mengchuan is a veteran of the battlefield, and even at his advanced age he is still as vigorous as ever.

There are only a handful of people in Changle who can hurt him.

"When the Beiling army attacked recently, hundreds of soldiers besieged General Wu Lao. Those people used poison arrows. If it weren't for the timely rescue by Captain Meng, General Wu Lao would probably have..." When Mo Tian said this, his eyes unconsciously looked at Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan smiled calmly: "In war, all kinds of means are possible, and the Beiling Army is no exception."

"No wonder the garrison in the city is now under the command of Wu Yungui." Jiang Xue whispered as she recalled how Wu Yungui gave orders to the army earlier.

"Yes, the Wu Family Army and the Imperial City Garrison are currently under the leadership of General Wu." Mo Tian frowned, "However, General Wu seems to be hostile to you."

Mo Tian understood that the princess's intention in returning this time was to regain power, and in addition to the Tieyun Army, she also needed the support of the Wu family and General Meng.

But General Wu was seriously injured and bedridden, and Wu Yungui harbored resentment towards her, which undoubtedly added a lot of trouble.
