Song Qing'an originally came on a horse, but they left in such a hurry that the horse is still tied in front of the Fairy Medicine Association.
It would definitely be unrealistic to go back and pick them up. The two men are different from each other, so it would be inappropriate to ride on the same horse.
Therefore, when passing by the horse market, Feng Yinwan decisively went in and bought another horse.
She euphemistically said it was because she was on her way. Song Qingan knew it, but he let it go and cooperated very well.
After galloping all the way, the two of them arrived at the agreed place on the afternoon of the second day.
Jian Ye and others would not arrive until tomorrow, so after Feng Yin put his luggage at the guest post in the evening, he went out to investigate the situation first.
Song Qingan didn't trust her alone.
"I'm with you."
It only takes a cup of tea from Keyi to Wolong Valley.
The terrain that appeared in front of us was undulating, the valley was long and secluded, and the official road passed through it and stretched for hundreds of meters, just like what was shown on the map.
Feng Yinwan took a long look and tightened the reins in his hands.
"Go up and have a look."
After saying that, she turned the horse's head and headed around to the top of the valley. Seeing this, Song Qing'an quickly followed.
As expected, the view from the top of the valley is extremely broad.
Looking down, you can see the scenery on the official road in the valley, and looking out, you can see the rolling mountains. It can be said that it is a uniquely favorable terrain.
Song Qingan's eyes flashed with approval.
"Guzhe, a dangerous place, has a natural advantage in terrain. It is indeed suitable for setting up an ambush."
When Feng Yinwan heard this, the corner of her lips curled up, "No, the place I chose is outside Wolong Valley."
This sentence is somewhat unexpected.
Song Qingan's eyes were dull.
"But why?"
"The terrain of Wolong Valley is complex. The Chinese people going north to escort such an important thing will naturally be more vigilant when passing through this place and speed up the passage."
"If we set up an ambush here, they will definitely be prepared."
Kitakami is known as the country of stone walls. The bitter cold climate has made the people of Kitakami extremely durable. Climbing is even more of a strength for them.
As long as they were prepared, a Wolong Valley might not be able to trap them.
The riding crop was held and carried up, and the woman's white fingertips raised a few arcs in the air.
"I'm going to take action there."
What she was pointing to was a vaguely shimmering water color.
Song Qing'an followed and looked over, recognizing that it was the Qingshi Jian two miles away.
"This is the outskirts of Beijing, only more than thirty miles away from the imperial city. The journey is tense. The people going north are already exhausted. After coming out of Wolong Valley, they will definitely relax their vigilance."
"The terrain around Qingshi Stream is open and it is a place for rest, so it is least likely to arouse suspicion."
“So, it’s most appropriate to choose where to start.”
And according to her speculation, people sent by the DPRK and China to transfer escorts will most likely be waiting there.
What they have to do is to capture Baimu Lingxi before the people from the court arrive!
When she said this, her beautiful eyes were slightly focused, and there was a calm demeanor on her face, just like a general who analyzes and arranges his troops well during the march.
Song Qing'an watched, his thoughts wandering for a moment.
"What Wan'er said is true, this is the best in the art of war."
Feng Yin was just a little shy for a moment because he was just expressing his thoughts and suddenly received a compliment.
"Don't make fun of me. It's just a trivial trick. How can it be compared with fighting in the army?"
Besides, she had never thought about those things...
Song Qing'an knew what was right, chuckled and shook his head, and said no more.
Miyano and others arrived in the evening of the second day.
The sky was getting dark, and the fiery red sunset was slowly setting. At the moment when the afterglow sank into the water, the riding whip in Feng Yinwan's hand fell.
"Set off."
With this sound, the team began to move slowly, with a clear goal, heading straight to Qingshi Stream.
When everyone was in place, the last ray of light on the horizon was swallowed up by darkness, and the night officially began.
"Miss, everything has been arranged."
Jian Ye came from behind, with a very serious look on his face.
Feng Yinwan nodded and raised his chin towards the valley that was vaguely visible in the distance.
"Lead a group of people and sneak over there. As soon as they appear, let them go. Be gentle and don't startle the snake."
Menghun Powder is a high-level drug with a very light smell.
If a person falls into it, illusions will appear before their eyes, and within half an hour, it will be extremely difficult to distinguish reality from reality.
People from the north will be nervous when passing through the Wolong Valley. It is most difficult to detect the use of poison in this state.
Jian Ye nodded, turned around and led the people away.
The night is getting darker.
In the cold and silent night, a red light flashed very quickly, Feng Yinwan's beautiful eyes condensed, and her figure suddenly tightened.
"Get ready to take action."
The team was quickly lined up, but they stood on the ground without any disguise.
Song Qing'an followed on one side and was secretly shocked when he saw this.
She was actually preparing to take Baimu Lingxi away openly and openly!
The sound of horse hooves in the distance is approaching.
The smooth journey made the people heading north feel a little relaxed. When they saw the group of guards waiting by the Qingshi Stream from a distance, they immediately rushed forward.
The leading man had a pair of short silver hammers slung behind his back. He had a strong and burly figure and a slightly sinister look in his eyebrows. However, after seeing Feng Yinwan, he turned over and dismounted from his horse, landing on one knee.
"General."
These two words were not spoken fluently, but his posture was very pious, as if he had regarded Feng Yinwan as a member of the imperial court.
Menghunsan has taken effect.
"Your Majesty, please rise. I will come to greet you according to the Holy Order. I have been waiting here for a long time. You have worked hard on the journey."
There are more than 20 people in Beishangguo's group, but there is a well-defended escort carriage in the middle, Bai Mu Lingxi, which should be on top.
The man exchanged pleasantries for a while and then went straight to the topic.
"General Labor has arrived. We are deeply ashamed. I wonder if we can enter the palace tonight to present the sacred objects?"
If it's too late, things will change, and the nights will be long and there will be many dreams.
Only by delivering Baimu Lingxi as early as possible can their mission be successfully completed.
Such eagerness is exactly what Feng Yinwan meant.
The corner of her lips curled up, and she nodded, "Of course."
"Thank you for your hard work escorting the holy relics along the way. We are about to enter the capital, so we will hand over them here."
"However, this matter is of great importance. Before handing over the sacred objects, I will have to inspect them in public before I can rest assured."
Once the thing is taken away, the responsibility will also be transferred.
Her request was not excessive, but before departure, King Beishang emphasized that the sacred objects must be opened in front of the Emperor Jingchao and the Queen Mother.
The man felt embarrassed when he heard this.
"General, the king has ordered me to wait until I enter the palace before opening the sacred objects. It is really inconvenient here..."
"If the general is worried, we can escort the sacred objects into the imperial city before handing them over. What do you think?"
The box containing Baimu Lingxi is a secret lock made of a mechanism, and only people from the North Country can open it.
If it is forcibly destroyed by external force, the contents inside will be burned immediately.
She has to keep these people open here.
Feng Yinwan's pretty face turned slightly cold.
"Are you worried about me, your Majesty?"
"It's getting late, and the palace gates have already been locked at this time. I promised to present the sacred objects to the Holy One tonight, which is already thinking about the envoy, but the envoy is unwilling to be honest. I don't know what your country's contribution is.
How sincere is the treasure?"
The tone was not serious, but it made the man's heart tremble a bit.
Just as he was about to explain, he listened to her again.
"Or is it that the envoy is questioning the general's ability?"
"I, my officers and men, are here just to take a look. Could something be wrong with this sacred object?"
She was obviously smiling, but there seemed to be an invisible pressure around her.
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead.
It is said that the people of the Central Plains are sharp-tongued and can kill people without making a sound. Now that I saw them, they were really powerful.
After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded.
"Okay, then according to the general's words, I will hand it over here."
After saying that, he signaled to the people behind him to open the layers of locks on the carriage.
After repeating it several times, an octagonal box made of black iron appeared in front of him.
Feng Yinwan's heart tightened, but she put one hand behind her back and punched secretly. She only waited for Baimu Lingxi to appear before giving the order to take action.
With a "click", the mechanism on the box opened.
The man carefully carried it forward and said, "General, please take a look."
Almost as soon as he said these words, a strong wind roared in his ears.
Feng Yinwan's body was agile, and a cold arrow passed over her and drove straight into the escort carriage.
That position is only half the size of her skull!
There is an ambush!
This thought sounded at the same time as the man's exclamation.
"No, there's an assassin!"
Seeing that the box was about to be closed again, Feng Yinwan's heart tightened, and she immediately took action without thinking about anything else.
This time the man was unexpected, but his body still instinctively protected the iron box.
Feng Yinwan's palm fell on his shoulder, but it didn't stir up any trouble.
The physical fitness of this northern countryman was even tougher than she expected!
"General, what do you mean?"
They were still in the illusion, seeing Feng Yinwan and others still looking like military officers.
The iron box fell, and the mechanism had been restarted. Feng Yinwan's eyes turned cold, and he didn't care about making excuses, and aimed directly at the iron box in the man's hand.
"No, you were not sent to pick us up, who are you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures appeared in the distance. Those people were wearing soft armor and were genuine forbidden troops.
The opponent acted in a well-organized manner and formed an encirclement on the outside at some point. It was obvious that they had expected it.
They were indeed ambushed.
Song Qingan's eyebrows tightened, "Wan'er, get it quickly."
Feng Yinwan's eyes froze again, and she raised another palm in her hand, "Hand over Baimu Lingxi."
"dream!"
The man's body shook, and the short hammer fell into his hand.
The powerful hammer wind roared past, driving away some of the poisonous mist.
There is no chance of winning in close combat.
Feng Yinwan dodged to avoid it, and at the same time, two silver needles shot out, one to the left and one to the right, both of which hit the important points in front of the man.
The silver needle was too fast. Although the man was strong, his movements were not very fast.
After blocking the needle on his heart, he was about to take action again, but the silver needle suddenly turned its direction and stabbed straight into his wrist.
"Well……"
The tip of the needle is coated with a highly toxic substance, and the toxin is activated the moment it pierces the skin.
Almost instantly, half of the man's arm lost consciousness. The iron box fell from his hand and fell to the ground.
Feng Yin flew forward in the evening, but before her fingertips could touch the box, she was repelled by another cold arrow.
This time, it was still only half an inch missing!
The arrow contained extremely strong killing intent. I looked up in shock, only to see that the place it came from was the top of the Wolong Valley!
