Thinking about this, Feng Qinghua suddenly understood what was really strange about this city.

The imperial court cannot leave a city where Gu insects are roaming unchecked, even if this is the border of Nanxu Kingdom, unless...

Just as she was thinking about it, Master Cheng, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly stood up and looked coldly at her surprised gaze, "This kind of thing is not something we can discuss casually."

Feng Qinghua also wanted to use her identity to inquire for more information, but Master Cheng said coldly, "Don't inquire blindly, it will not do you any good."

Now that they had reached this point, Feng Qinghua had no choice but to ignore the matter of the Gu insects.

Seeing that Master Cheng still looked worried, Feng Qinghua knew that he wanted to evict the guests, so she took the initiative to stand up and leave.

"I understand what Master Cheng said. It's getting late. I'll come to visit another day."

Taking care of Young Master Qing Ling and the First Trading Company, Master Cheng did not lose his courtesy even though his face was cold. He sent Feng Qinghua out of the house and then ordered the medicine boy to turn off the lights and close the door.

Feng Qinghua stood in front of the closed door for a while, then turned around and left, turning into the alley on the right.

Master Cheng's reaction showed to a certain extent that he had something up his sleeve. Now this pharmacy no longer seemed unusual to her. She had to go back and investigate again.

However, before she could get close to the yard, there was a sudden clicking sound in the alley.

It was dark all around, and even the moonlight couldn't shine in. Feng Qinghua didn't dare to lean against the wall, so she could only stand in the open space in the middle, clutching the medicine bag in her hand.

It was like countless little bugs were crawling towards her, some on the walls and most on the ground.

Feng Qinghua opened her eyes and stared for a long time before she recognized that those were Gu insects!

The ground was covered in darkness, as if it was blending into the night.

She clutched the medicine bag and when the poisonous insects gathered around her, she threw it out. The medicinal powder fell beside her, and the poisonous insects did not dare to approach and fled in the opposite direction.

Just when she breathed a sigh of relief and thought the crisis was over, another whistle sounded in the air, which sounded... strange.

However, what was even stranger was yet to come. The Gu insects that were about to retreat returned inexplicably and attacked Feng Qinghua with an even more ferocious momentum.

At this moment, Feng Qinghua suddenly realized that these Gu insects were most likely controlled by others.

The moon hung in the sky and was dimly covered by clouds. There was no moonlight or pedestrians on the street. The originally lonely alley was filled with the sound of crawling insects, which suddenly added a sense of excitement to this silent night.

Feng Qinghua didn't think about this when she went out. She only brought two medicine bags with her. The combined amount of medicine powder was not enough to resist these poisonous insects.

While she was carefully avoiding it, she was also thinking of other ways to rescue her.

The second packet of medicinal powder has been used, but the poisonous bugs are still the same as the first time. They were first scared away, and then they came back because of the whistle, and it started over and over again, like an endless tide.

As the saying goes, to catch a thief first, catch the king. Feng Qinghua locked the direction of the person controlling the Gu insect based on the two whistles. If she wanted to escape tonight, she might have to attack that person.

Only then did Feng Qinghua realize that she had fallen into a trap.

The alley was cramped and occupied by poisonous insects. Let alone anything else, she had trouble finding a place to stay.

Apart from the medicine bag, she only had a few Baidu pills left on her body, which were made from hundreds of precious medicinal materials.

But at the critical moment, she didn't care whether she felt distressed or not. She took them all out and held them in the palm of her hand, then crushed them inside. When the poisonous insects gathered, she sprinkled them around to temporarily stop their progress.

After resisting like this for a long time, the powdered Baidu Pills were almost used up. It would be an exaggeration to say that we were at the end of the road.

The Gu insects took great pains to surround Feng Qinghua. The whistle became louder and the momentum became fiercer. It was obvious that the person who controlled them could no longer sit still.

In desperation, there will always be loopholes. Feng Qinghua raised her eyebrows, and then shouted into the air, "Your Excellency, you have such a good trick. Do you dare to speak out or show your face?"

The whistle seemed to be stuck for a moment, and Feng Qinghua felt that something was wrong, so she continued to challenge, "I see that these bugs are very ordinary, and they are simply vulnerable. You have the nerve to show them off."

She laughed without restraint, and her laughter spread into the sky. When she heard it, it was naturally extremely harsh in the ears of that person.

"Arrogant kid!"

A scolding sound sounded from far away, and the man couldn't bear his temper and came over.

Feng Qinghua couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle, saying that she was arrogant was indeed true.

When the time came, Feng Qinghua chased the sound, popped out a silver needle and shot it at the man. All she had left was the silver needle, which could be used as a hidden weapon. Fortunately, she tried it every time.

Even though the night was dark, the silver needle still hit the target accurately. When she heard the man snort, Feng Qinghua slowly raised her head and looked at the man who fell from the wall.

"Your Excellency is really disappointing. Why are you so impatient? What a pity."

Without the whistle, the Gu insects lost consciousness and began to run around. Feng Qinghua used medicinal powder to clear a path, walked up to the person behind the scenes, ignored his resentful eyes, and searched him for the poison that would kill the Gu insects.

medicine.

After a while, she wiped out all the poisonous insects in the alley.

She walked out calmly, stood in front of the people behind the scenes, then leaned slightly, looked at him and smiled, "No more nonsense, just explain."

"Pooh!"

The person behind the scenes stared at Feng Qinghua and sneered, with disdain in the smile in his eyes. At least at the moment, he looked more like an "arrogant child" than Feng Qinghua.

Feng Qinghua realized something, her expression suddenly changed, and she stretched out her hand to stop him, but in the end, she was too late.

Dark black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and within a moment, his body fell to the ground with a dull thud.

This is a common technique used by dead men, but the person in front of him is too far away from a dead man, so to be honest, there is no need to hang himself in a hurry. He had countless ways to save his life, but he directly chose death.

Feng Qinghua squatted down, trying to find possible clues from him. However, footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance. It was initially judged that the number of people was not less than ten.

She didn't have time to deal with the body and the mess on the ground before she quickly dodged back to the alley and hid with her back against the wall.

The footsteps in the distance were getting closer and closer, and there must be a lot of people there. As for what they were coming for, Feng Qinghua had no way of guessing.

The alley was empty, not even a covering, and the body was still lying at the entrance of the alley. Feng Qinghua subconsciously held her breath, knowing that it was only a matter of time before she was discovered.

She could hear the footsteps of those people approaching the alley. They probably discovered that the body was one of their own. They became wary, slowed down, and tentatively approached the body.

At this moment, Feng Qinghua was thinking about how many silver needles were left in her bag? Can she hit it with one strike? Which way should she run when escaping? Will she run into a dead end again?

She spread her thoughts and determined that there would be a fierce battle between herself and those people.
