Chapter 449: A Strike to Intimidate

t. That place was generally undisturbed unless absolutely necessary.From within the coffin that belonged to Elizabeth, there came a faint rustling sound of fabric, and a subtle scent of blood wafted o...Your messages are quite prompt.

The ripples said ironically.

How many people did you arrange to enter Han country

The ripples continued to ask.

"I don't know"

Ripples was dissatisfied with the other party's answer, his Lei Yao sword moved closer to the other party's neck, and immediately a bloodstain appeared, red blood flowing down the other party's neck, his collar instantly stained red.

“I really don't know! We all entered Han from different directions.”

Ripple glanced at the other person lightly, and Lei Yaojian directly slashed across the other person's neck, sending them to join their companions.

Wang Zhenzhen, who had been watching the entire process from the second floor, turned her head and said to the excited boy whose face was flushed red:

"Take us to the room."

"Yes! Please this way, honored guest!"

Although Wang Yaizu had seen ripples make a move before, he was still somewhat weak-legged and followed Mrs. Zhen with unsteady steps, hurrying to the designated upper room.

And all the onlookers at the inn, at this time, were watching the situation unfold with bated breath. Although these three people had brought this upon themselves, for someone to take their lives right off the bat was truly ruthless of this woman in red.

However, thinking that these three were spies from the Mongol nation and were looking for the recently rumored treasure in the martial world, they didn't have a stance to blame them.

"Ripple didn't care what the people around her thought. She directly threw a silver bill to the proprietress and said: "

"

"This is compensation for breaking your stairs, and by the way, dispose of these three bodies!"

The proprietress, having witnessed Ripple's ruthlessness, immediately sheathed her broadsword and gracefully received the light silver note. She smiled and said:

"Rest assured, my lady! Here at my place, no one would dare to bother you. And as for these spies from the Mongol nation, they're so arrogant! If you don't kill them, I won't let them leave my shop safely."

The proprietress, who claimed to be named Zhen Yi, quickly tucked the hundred taels of silver note into her sleeve and called out to the kitchen. Three burly men emerged, each carrying a corpse, and they left through a side door.

The boy who had just escorted Wang Zhenzhen back to her room had already run downstairs and fetched a ladder and a hammer. He started to “clank clank clank” repairing the stairs.

The guests who were watching from the inn, finally shut their doors and began to whisper amongst themselves.

After Liàn Yī returned to her room, she said to Wang Zhēn Zhēn and Wang Yào Zǔ:

"When this wind and sand have passed, we'll set off. The people here aren't good folk; even the child reeks of blood."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yaozu involuntarily shuddered. He had never imagined that a child of eleven or twelve years old could also have blood on his hands.

"Grandpa, didn't you notice that when those three Mongolians died just now, the child wasn't crying or shouting at all He even seemed excited. It seems like death is a common occurrence here."

Liàn Yī watched Wáng Yào zǔ, who looked very conflicted, and explained helplessly.

Then we should still leave as soon as possible.

"I acted decisively just now. First, because the other party was taking advantage of me. Second, because they were a spy from Mongol Nation. Finally, it was to intimidate the people here."

"You're doing the right thing, being prepared for everything and minimizing your risks. Just didn't expect a fabricated treasure map to attract even people from the Menggu."

Wang Zhenzhen sighed.

“We need to raise troops, and they do too. If we can use the gold and silver of Han to support their armies, they will naturally be happy to join in. They will definitely put their foot in. It's just that their news is too well-connected.”

Liàn Yī said thoughtfully.

Everything will be discussed in Longxi later.

Wang Zhenzhen spoke directly.

In the imperial palace, Imperial Eunuch Yu brought the renowned "Saint of Poisons" Huo Mian to see Princess Xiangyi.

"Princess Xiangyi, Your Majesty has always been concerned about your injury and sent people to search the world for renowned doctors. They have found this Doctor Huo Mian. He is humble but highly skilled in medicine. After reviewing Tai Hospital's records of your case, he confidently stated that he could cure you. Therefore, Your Majesty specially allowed him to enter the palace to treat you."

"Greetings, Princess Xiangyi. I am Ho Mian."

In a white robe, Huo Mian respectfully bowed.

"Can you really cure my face"

Xiangyi clearly had some doubts. After all, it had been six years, and the scars on her face hadn't improved at all; instead, they made her look more and more haggard. Even the imperial physicians at the palace were helpless. She didn't think this quack could cure her face.

Ho Mian had long received the emperor's consent and, despite being questioned, did not get angry but smiled and explained:

"Of course, or else I wouldn't dare to unveil the list. After reading the physician's records, my confidence grew even stronger."

"Really"

"To be honest, the imperial physician should actually be able to cure your wound. It's just because you are of noble birth, they dare not use strong medicine and harsh treatments for fear of causing complications and being held responsible. That's why it has dragged on for so long."

I can guarantee that with one dose of this medicine, the princess's wounds will scab over and won't recur. It will just be very painful. Can the princess bear it If you can't bear it and scratch, then even a great immortal wouldn't be able to cure your face.

Ho Mian asked seriously.

"Rest assured, even if they bind my hands and feet, I will endure it."

Xiangyi's eyes lit up. This inhuman, ghostly life was finally coming to an end. Even if it hurt, she would bear it.

"Well, since the princess has confidence in me, Huo will certainly not disappoint her expectations. I'll list out a prescription right now and start preparing the medicine. It will be ready in three days. For these three days, please refrain from eating to avoid conflict with the medicine."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Xiangyi then turned her head and said to Yu Gonggong beside her:

"Mr. Yu, please tell the Emperor that I appreciate his concern. Once Xiangyi's face is better, I will personally thank him and share his worries."

"I will definitely deliver the princess's words. Now that we have a divine physician, the princess should rest and recuperate with peace of mind, and all the required medicinal herbs can be obtained directly from the Imperial Medical Bureau."

After that, Yu Gonggong led Huo Mian away from the princess's palace. After all, as an outsider, it was inappropriate for him to stay in the princess's palace for too long.

The emperor was reading the message sent back by the leader of the C group's secret guards at this time. He had already figured out the route spanning across Han and Mongolia that trafficked people, having thoroughly inspected every Mongolian garrison along the way. His own men had also taken over those positions. With just a word from the emperor, they could proceed with the next step of the plan.

"Tell Group C to keep the line from falling into Mongol hands for now. Starting immediately, send people undercover into Mongol territory. No need for reconnaissance, just stay hidden. When war breaks out between the two nations, they should create chaos within Mongol borders."

The emperor had the upper hand, so he decided to make his move first. It would be too late when the two countries went to war.

Yes, Your Majesty!

As the dark guard flashed away, Mr. Yu entered and bowed respectfully before saying:

"Your Majesty, as per your orders, the Poison Master has met with Princess Xiangyi and persuaded her to cooperate with the treatment. We expect results in three days."

"Well, you're watching him closely. After all, the Poison Doctor is a martial artist, don't let him escape."

"Yes!"n't comfortable with being drawn into unnecessary interaction with the woman. Ultimately, under his younger sister's pleading gaze, he accepted the gift box and repeatedly thanked Su Wu before leaving...
