In the woods, a man in black lay quietly in the bushes.
The face of the man in black was covered with a black veil, and there was a ferocious cut on his exposed forehead, and one of his eyes was also covered with an eyepatch.
This is the black man who makes the local wealthy family fearful.
If Jin Feng or other villagers in Xihewan were here, they would definitely recognize it at a glance. This is Qin'er!
Qin'er used to be the personal maid of the Ninth Princess. Later, she carried out a sneak attack on Xihewan. In order to protect the Ninth Princess, she was stabbed several times in the face and body, and her eyes and legs were also injured.
After Wei Wuya's careful adjustment, the injury on Qin'er's leg was almost healed, but the injured eye was permanently blind, and the scar on her face could not be eliminated.
Qin'er has a cold personality and has always been very popular in the village. However, since this incident, the people in the village admire her for her loyal protection of the Lord and treat her much better.
But the more this happened, the more proud Qin'er felt that everyone was pitying her.
Later, with the support of Jin Feng, the Ninth Princess became the first empress in history. Qin'er felt that if she stayed with the Ninth Princess any longer, it would hinder the Ninth Princess's image, so she left a letter and left Xihewan alone.
For several months, Qin'er dressed up as a man and traveled from Sichuan and Shu to Qin, and then all the way to Jin. She would join in the fun and take care of the injustice. Unknowingly,
Create some fame in the world.
As the former personal maid of the Ninth Princess, Qin'er had seen the battle report of the Battle of Qingshui Valley. When she arrived in Qin, she wanted to visit Qingshui Valley.
But before they arrived at Weizhou City, they heard that the King of Jin colluded with the Eastern Barbarians, massacred Fan's army, and made General Fan's head into a wine cup.
Qin'er followed the Ninth Princess and met General Fan several times, and had a good impression of him.
He was extremely angry at what the King of Jin had done, and was about to find a way to sneak into Weizhou City and kill the leader of the Jin-barbarian coalition to avenge the Fan family army, and then Tieniu came.
Qin'er hadn't figured out how to face the Ninth Princess and Jin Feng, so she avoided Tieniu and the others and sneaked into Jin alone. While continuing to act chivalrously, she hoped to find traces of King Jin.
A few days ago, she killed a wealthy man from the county. In order to avoid being hunted by the whole city, she hid outside the city and accidentally met the escort team of the Eastern Barbarian envoys.
Anyway, it was idle time, so Qin'er quietly followed them, preparing to find an opportunity to kill them.
It's a pity that the messenger escort team is very vigilant. There are people on duty day and night, and judging from the opponent's pace, they are not weak opponents. If they attack rashly, they can easily be piled up and killed by the opponent's numerical advantage.
Qin'er has been squatting in the bushes for two days, but has not found a breakthrough point.
Just when Qin'er was considering whether to retreat, the Eastern Barbarian envoy returned.
Although the Eastern Barbarians spoke the Northern Barbarian language, which Qin'er did not understand, it could be judged from their expressions that the envoy was the leader of this group of people and was in urgent need of something.
Seeing a guard taking out the pigeon from the cage and tying the note to the pigeon's leg, Qin'er instinctively realized that this letter must be very important, and she couldn't wait any longer!
Qin'er silently took off the crossbow from her waist and carefully cocked it.
In the valley, the Eastern Barbarian envoy touched the pigeon's neck and threw it into the sky.
The pigeon flapped its wings twice to steady itself.
It cooed, spread its wings and flew north.
The Eastern Barbarian envoy let out a long sigh of relief.
He has done all he can do, now he just needs to send the letter back and wait for Shanyu's reply.
But before he could finish his breath, he saw an arrow suddenly flying out of the forest next to him!
The homing pigeon had just taken off, but before it could take off, it was shot to death by an arrow and fell to the ground.
The Eastern Barbarian envoy and the escort did not expect that there was anyone in the woods, and they were all confused by the unexpected situation.
They were fooled, but Qin'er was not.
After shooting down the carrier pigeon, he immediately adjusted his crossbow and pulled the trigger at the Eastern Barbarian envoy.
The arrow went straight to the face of the Eastern Barbarian envoy!
But just when the arrow was about to hit the messenger, the two guards behind him suddenly moved.
One of the guards picked up the scabbard and smashed it hard in front of the envoy, causing the arrow to fly away. The other guard spread out his body skills and swept towards the woods.
"There are actually two masters?"
Qin'er couldn't help being surprised when she saw this.
Judging from their speed and movements, both of them are masters.
The guards behind the envoy also came to their senses at this time, and separated a few people to protect the envoy in the middle. The remaining people directly drew their scimitars and formed a formation to pounce on Qin'er.
Qin'er originally planned to fight with her own skills, but when she discovered that there were two masters on the other side, she knew that she had completely lost the opportunity, so she gave up the idea of a head-on fight without hesitation and jumped out of the bushes.
Get up and go back.
Qin'er had already thought of an escape route before touching it, so she retreated very quickly.
The Dongman guards, led by a master, quickly chased after him.
When passing by a narrow mountain road, a round lump suddenly flew in front of me and fell to the ground with a splat.
Before the Dongman master could see clearly what it was, the round lump suddenly exploded!
Bang!
With a loud noise, a ball of flames rose up from the mountain road.
The Eastern Barbarian master bore the brunt of the attack and flew backwards, his face and body covered with holes punched by the iron sand.
The mountain road was narrow, and the group of guards behind the master were not spared. Almost all of them were blown away by the shock wave of the explosion, and almost all of them were hit by the iron sand.
Just one grenade caused heavy losses to this elite group of Eastern Barbarians.
By the time the envoy from behind arrived with his people, Qin'er had long since disappeared.
"This is the thunder in the palm of Zhenyuan Escort Agency!"
One of the guards smelled the smoke around him and frowned.
After Zhang Liang captured Yuguan City, a patrol team was attacked, and the three grenades carried by the team members were snatched away by the Eastern Barbarians.
When Shan Yu was experimenting with grenades, this guard was responsible for peripheral security and remembered the smell after the grenade exploded.
"Are you sure?" the messenger asked.
"Confirmation, when the king was experimenting with palm thunder on the grassland, I was watching from the side. The sound, flame and taste were exactly the same!"
As the guard spoke, he also dug out a grain of iron sand from the mountain wall: "This is the iron sand mixed in the thunder in the palm. When it breaks into the body, there will be a hole. It is very vicious!"
"Why are the people from Zhenyuan Escort Agency here?"
The Dongman envoy frowned: "Or is this person sent by Chen Yongze to pretend? But after I left the city, I came here after confirming that no one was following..."
"This person didn't come here with the adults!"
The master who is still alive said: "I just went to see where he was hiding. Judging from the traces, he has been hiding here for at least more than a day!"
"Are you sure?" the Eastern Barbarian envoy asked with a frown.
"Confirmed," the master lowered his head and replied, "My subordinates were negligent in their duties and did not find him. Please punish me!"
"We'll talk about the punishment later. What's important now is to convey the news to the king as soon as possible, and find out whether this person is a member of the King of Jin or a bodyguard!"
"This person should not be from King Jin, nor is he a bodyguard!"
