The punishment of the female imperial court

When Lan Shu heard the word "hundred" that he emphasized, the corners of her mouth twitched, but her mind drifted away.

The Lan family, under the order of Emperor Gaozu, can recruit others to form a guard to protect the imperial mausoleum, but the number of people is limited, and including the Lan family members, it cannot exceed one hundred.

But this is a royal secret, how could he, a mere warrior, know it? Could this person really be the emperor's confidant?
Then you can't stay.

Lan Shu moved slightly, and a black shadow jumped out from behind Bo Yi and slashed at the back of Bo Yi's neck.

Without even turning his head, Bo Yi slightly tilted his head to avoid the attack, turned his wrist and stabbed backwards, and everyone heard the sound of the sharp blade penetrating into flesh.

Bo Yi still stared at Lan Shu, and with his backhand he swung the knife horizontally and easily brought it back in front of him.

There was not a single trace of blood or scratch on the knife, and it still looked as new as if it had just been tempered.

But everyone saw that suddenly two human-shaped objects appeared behind him, one on the left and one on the right, and fell down.

It was actually split into two halves easily.

"Ninety-nine," Bo Yi pointed his knife at Lan Shu's face and asked in a deep voice, "Lan Shu, do you have any objections?"

The cold and mixed energy from the knife came towards him, and as the knife passed by, Lanshu felt pain at the end of his left eyebrow.

After listening to what Bo Yi just said, he was sure that this person must know something!
He suppressed the trembling that could not be induced by the divine weapon and curled his lips: "Master Bo, what are you talking about? The assassin just now was indeed terrifying, and he actually rushed straight towards you. It seems that what you said is right. Only by keeping the similarities between the inside and the outside can we protect everyone's safety."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Bo Yi sheathed his sword, turned around, stepped onto the floating bridge, and stood outside the imperial mausoleum, leaving only two corpses and a pool of blood.

Yu Qiansi had just taken advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the imperial mausoleum and went into the jungle in the canyon.

Holding on to the rocks and looking towards the imperial mausoleum, he saw Bo Yi striding out.

He was wearing a black robe and had a plain sword. His hair, which was only half wet a moment ago, had already dried in the wind and was curled up and fell casually on his shoulders, like lazy and weary leaves in autumn.

Yu Qiansi clenched the jade rim tightly, feeling uneasy.

Bo Yi, who had just spoken eloquently in the imperial mausoleum, was extremely intelligent, decisive in killing, and had a chivalrous spirit.

Although he was dressed in black, he was the most eye-catching one. He was very different from the silent and taciturn person he used to be.

This is the real him.

He can be the sharpest knife on the battlefield of the sand, or the most carefree wine in the world of martial arts.

But I shouldn't be trapped in this small world of the capital like I am now.

Follow by my side, hide all your edge, and become a person who may lose his life at any time for something not worth it.

The wind blew, and Boyi, who was standing facing the imperial mausoleum, had his shoulders trembling slightly. He slowly turned around and looked up at the dark forest on the cliffs of the canyon, as if he was patrolling something.

Although Yu Qiansi knew that she could not be seen outside the forest, she still took a step back slightly.

He made a decision silently and turned away.

She didn't understand what Shang Ci was going to do, whether it was related to today's events, and who was behind it, but for her at the moment, it was just a trivial matter.

The most important thing at the moment is to find the real culprit of the poisoning.

Since we are hunting down the murderer, all we have to do is look for clues.

She already had some ideas about what had happened on the scene just now.

If her guess was correct, she might be able to find clues in the ghost market.

However, there are only ten days left, so she naturally cannot rush back to the capital.

Thinking of this, Yu Qiansi stood in the forest. An inspiration came to her mind but disappeared suddenly.

She shook her head, pondered for a moment, bypassed several canyon formations, and ran quickly towards the road down the mountain.

If you want to verify your own guess, it is not impossible to obtain materials nearby.

Near the intersection at the foot of the mountain, we are far away from the canyon formation, but the road is particularly difficult to travel because of the dense jungle and rocks.

Yu Qiansi had been walking in the mountains for about an hour when he finally saw a mountain road dyed white by the moonlight between the branches. He breathed a sigh of relief and tried to find a wider gap between the trees to squeeze through. Suddenly, a sharp sound came from the left front.

At that time, she was blocked by two trees and it was difficult for her to dodge. She tried her best to twist her body to avoid it, but was still hit in the right shoulder by the crossbow.

Then, there were dense footsteps on the road, and it was impossible to tell how many people there were.

Yu Qiansi had no choice but to bend down to adjust his breathing. He grabbed a handful of soft soil from the ground and threw it towards the nearest sound.

Sure enough, someone shouted a warning: "Be careful! It might be poisonous!"

The approaching footsteps slowed down.

At this moment, the bright moon was blocked and the forest was pitch black. She gritted her teeth, pressed the acupoint on her right shoulder to stop the bleeding, took the opportunity to climb up the tree, refreshed her mind, controlled her breathing, and turned to head into the depths of the forest.

Occasionally, there were the sounds of patrols behind me, and occasional flashes of fire, which made the leaves in the forest look like mirrors, reflecting fine orange light.

Yu Qiansi found a taller tree, climbed to the treetop, leaned against the tree and adjusted his breathing.

But the severe pain in her shoulder continued to irritate her. Her hands and feet became numb and her vision gradually became blurry.

There should be some poison like anesthetic on the shoulder.

It seems that this group of people don't want to kill me, they just want to capture me alive.

But who could gather so many people to block me here in such a short time?

Yu Qiansi bent down, reached the vine with great effort, tied himself to the tree, and sat down.

"Pay attention to the bloodstains! She has been hit, she won't be able to get far!"

She looked down and saw a man holding a torch, walking under the tree with his back slightly bent.

She sneered, "A bunch of idiots!"

He randomly took out a medicine bottle from his arms, swallowed a pill with his hands tied, and then he felt a little better. Although the wound on his shoulder was still painful, the bleeding rate had slowed down a lot.

She leaned her back against the tree, raised her head and took a deep breath, trying to figure out the current situation.

According to the location and time of the message just now, Tongdu and Suanzhuo should not have encountered these people.

In other words, after the smoke signal was released, someone realized that he had not left the imperial mausoleum and set an ambush here.

The wound on her shoulder was throbbing, and she grinned in pain.

No matter who got the news and how, if he stopped me on this road, it would only prove my guess.

As long as we continue along this path, we can solve the poisoning problem within ten days.

After regulating his breathing for a while, his limbs gradually regained consciousness.

Half of the short crossbow on her shoulder was still exposed. She took out her dagger and cut off the outer part, putting it into her sleeve. She lowered her head and untied the vines on her body. She moved slightly to make sure that she would not pull the wound, then stood up and looked around.

The place where she was hiding was not far from the ambush intersection. It seemed that the group of people did not expect that she was hiding around them and had already explored deep into the forest.

But there must be people staying near the road.

Time waits for no one. If we don't leave now, it will be even more difficult to escape after dawn in two hours.

I thought of the many formations outside the imperial mausoleum and above the canyon.

If the short route is not feasible, it is no problem to take a longer route. In the canyon on the side away from Longyuan, there are several mountain paths. It takes at least two more days to get to Longyuan from there.

But because of this, this group of people would not think of setting an ambush there in such a short time.

Even if her whereabouts were discovered on the road, those formations could help her trap some people. If the noise was louder, it might even serve as a warning to Boyi outside the imperial mausoleum.

After figuring out the direction, Yu Qiansi held his breath and concentrated his mind, using his strength to jump between the trees and head back the way he came. (End of this chapter)
