The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

The woman in tight clothes jumped down from the wall and kicked the man lying on the ground several times.

"When I came from outside the city, I found this sneaky guy. The wound on his body looked familiar. Was it caused by Yu'er's dagger?"

She raised her eyebrows and spoke crisply, approaching Yun Nian.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. You've grown up so much, but..."

Her eyes flickered above Yun Nian's head, and she raised her hand to look at her shoulder, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"Sisi has met Aunt Huo."

Yun Nian, who had just come to her senses, immediately went forward and gently hugged the dusty Huo Minghan, looking at her with a well-behaved smile.

Yun Nian had recognized the woman as soon as she saw her eyes, but because the blood covered part of her face, she was still a little afraid that she had seen it wrong, until the woman said Huo Daiyu's name.

The girl in front of him was very petite and delicate, with a faint fragrance, which made Huo Minghan straighten her back. She usually came into contact with women like her. Even Huo Daiyu had a similar personality to her.

But she didn’t know how to treat a girl like Yun Nian. Wouldn’t the smell on her body be unpleasant?

"Well, you're welcome. Aunt Huo happened to bring you a gift. Do you like General Ke Luo's head or the fur of a wild animal? Or do you like a knife? I don't have much else, but I do have a lot of weapons."

Looking at the head with eyes wide open that Huo Minghan had taken out from somewhere, Yun Nian showed no fear on his face. He just smiled and waved his hand.

"No need, Aunt Huo, why don't you go wash up and relax? I just happen to have something to ask this guy on the ground."

"Okay, there's a lack of water in this place, and I can hardly stand it myself."

Lan Ying and Lu Xi hurriedly followed. The twins had identical faces with gentle and well-behaved smiles, which made Huo Minghan pause for a moment. Then, he followed them to fetch water as if nothing had happened.

"I didn't expect this guy to be caught by General Huo by mistake. Dad, why didn't you run into him when you came here?"

Zuo Mingyuan lifted the half-dead guy up from the ground, and rubbed his face hard.

"This must be his true appearance. He looks so ordinary that I would forget it after just one look. He is a good candidate to be a spy."

"This is the man from Feiyu Tower. I remember his wound was at this position on his left arm. Aunt Huo said she found him outside the city, but our city gates should be well guarded, right?"

Yun Nian's eyes fell on Zuo Mingyuan. He scratched his head and was a little afraid to speak. Although most of the guards were doing their job conscientiously, there were also some who took advantage of the situation. If this guy escaped from a weak point, it was not impossible.

"Maybe he ran away due to negligence. However, Qi Ming said that the doctor has returned with the herbs, and those who were poisoned can be saved."

This was the only good news among all the bad news. As long as the person was fine, Yun Nian hadn't figured out how to interrogate him yet, Zuo Kangping had already hung him up.

"Hey, boy, bring me a cloth and pliers."

He shouted to Zuo Mingyuan, raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and looked very excited.

After getting all the things, he first used pliers to pry open the murderer's mouth, and the murderer slowly woke up, revealing a somewhat sinister look.

"Crack!"

That was the sound of teeth biting on something sharp. The murderer's face twisted, and Zuo Kangping then revealed a malicious smile.

"You can't bite the poison with your back teeth? It's okay, I'll help you."

After saying that, he punched him with such force that the man almost flew out. The man spat out several mouthfuls of saliva, and his teeth fell out. He was stepped on by General Zuo.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid. I'm still easy to talk to. Look, can't you take out the pliers now?"

Now, for the man who was beaten up, the smile on Zuo Kangping's face could be described as the smile of an evil spirit.

"Okay, how do you want to interrogate me?"

He spoke casually to the shocked Yun Nian, his tone was very calm, not showing the brutality of his previous attack.

Yun Nian calmed down and looked at the man seriously.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

The other party just sneered.

"No comment."

"Snapped!"

A slap directly slapped him, and Zuo Mingyuan shook his thick-skinned hand with a disdainful tone.

"Who are you talking to, so rude?"

After he finished taking the photo, he looked at Yun Nian with sparkling eyes, which made Zuo Kangping close his eyes.

"Cough cough..."

"I'm serious. If you talk nicely, I can give you a quick death. How about that? Or do you want to try their torture methods?"

Zuo Mingyuan showed a threatening look, Zuo Kangping showed his white teeth, and Huo Minghan, who was wiping his hair, passed by and said casually,

"If he doesn't tell me, just cut off that thing that shouldn't exist. See if he dares not to answer you."

The men present felt a chill in their crotch and immediately became alert. The murderer, who seemed to be frightened or something, said dejectedly,

"The Great Elder sent me here. He was the one who ordered the poisoning. I was only responsible for the execution. I don't know anything else."

He seemed to have given up, but he obviously hadn't told any more truth.

"Xi Yuanen? He stretched his hand so far, what exactly does he want to do?"

When Yun Nian said the name of the Great Elder, the man looked up at her with some surprise.

"You must have someone else you need to contact. Poisoning them will only disrupt the morale of the troops. If no one joins you, how can you continue this drama?"

Think about it carefully, why send out only one assassin? It is inefficient and difficult to perform, unless the rest of the Feiyu Tower has more important things to do.

What exactly are they planning to do?

……

On the coast of Dongling, a row of large ships were lined up, as if waiting for someone's order. The person who was supposed to be in the palace of Luochuan City was standing on the bow in the middle of the ship, looking at the shadow on the broken ridge.

"Your Highness, Bai Ju disappeared near here. I saw the mark he left behind. It was just a 'Twenty'. What does it mean?"

The sound of the waves and the wind began to rise. Wei Qingjue looked at the stone held by Qian Hui expressionlessly and spoke calmly,

"Add a few strokes to '二十' and it will become '世'. Ning Sinian is really a thief with such a wicked heart."

He looked into the distance.

"Quick, I have to go see her."
