The face towels worn by these assassins are soaked in potions.
Wearing it on the face and covering the mouth and nose can effectively prevent the inhalation of poisonous smoke and ensure combat effectiveness.
"Thank you." Xiao Lingyue unceremoniously took away the scarf, covered her mouth and nose, and then removed the assassin's jaw with one hand: "In order to prevent you from biting your tongue and committing suicide, let's keep him alive for interrogation later."
The assassin stared at her with splitting eyes: "..."
However, all his limbs were broken and his mandible was removed. He was completely unable to move and could only lie on the ground with his eyes wide open.
Xiao Lingyue didn't waste time with him and quickly eliminated the last assassin. He also broke his limbs, removed his jaw and threw it on the ground.
The sound of fighting stopped.
But the poisonous smoke in the square did not dissipate, and the surrounding area was still hazy.
Xue Hai led the surviving imperial troops to block the door of the palace, commanding the door to be smashed while watching around vigilantly.
At this time, a slightly dull female voice sounded: "Is Commander Xue of the Forbidden Army here?"
Xue Hai immediately looked in the direction of the sound, but did not speak.
The other Imperial Guards also held their breaths, their faces turned purple, and the lack of oxygen had reached their limit.
Suddenly, a "swish" sound came.
The tall bushes around the prayer hall were suddenly cut down. The lush bushes fell down, revealing a gap around it.
The poisonous smoke sealed inside by the bushes immediately followed the gap and slowly drifted out.
Once the poisonous smoke dissipated, the view became much clearer.
Even the suffocated Imperial Guard breathed a sigh of relief.
"Commander Xue?"
Xue Hai followed the sound and saw a slender figure of a woman slowly walking through the faded smoke. She wore a veil on her face and held a piece of black cloth to cover her mouth and nose. In her other hand, she held a handful of soft drinks.
The sword, blood drops dripping down the tip of the sword onto the ground.
The momentum is amazing.
Xue Hai tensed his nerves instinctively, raised the sword in his hand, and his eyes were full of vigilance.
If someone appears at this time, who knows whether he is an enemy or a friend?
"I am the daughter of the Shen family. My name is Shen Wan. We met in the Buddhist temple before. Did Commander Xue forget?" Xiao Lingyue did not approach rashly to avoid a conflict.
Knowing that Xue Hai had been in the poisonous smoke for a long time, his throat might have been burned and he could not speak.
Xiao Lingyue explained the situation briefly and quickly, and then threw over several facecloths that had been taken off the assassin's face.
"These face towels were impregnated with medicine. Covering your mouth and nose, you can breathe in the poisonous smoke. Commander Xue asked his men to wear them and level all the surrounding shrubs. The poisonous smoke will naturally disperse with the wind."
Xue Hai caught the face towel, got closer and smelled it, and sure enough he smelled a strong medicinal smell.
My throat, which was burned by the poisonous smoke, seemed to feel better.
He glanced at Xiao Lingyue suspiciously.
Now was not the time to ask more questions. As Emperor Zhaoming's confidant general, Xue Hai had a decisive and resolute character. He immediately ordered a few forbidden soldiers, put on a scarf and went to clear the nearby bushes.
While the Imperial Army was evacuating the poisonous smoke, Xiao Lingyue asked: "Is Your Majesty trapped in the palace?"
Xue Hai nodded, pointed at a group of forbidden soldiers who were desperately banging against the door, and shook his head.
Xiao Lingyue frowned and guessed: "The palace door is blocked from the inside? Your Majesty, can't you get out?"
Xue Hai nodded.
"Then how do you ensure His Majesty's safety? What if there is an assassin inside?" Xiao Lingyue blurted out. Popular『』
