Chapter 269: This was "counter-killed"

As the night deepens, the moon becomes bright like frost.

After having a full meal and a few drinks, Murong Hongyi stared at the soft muscle on the table in a trance.

He told himself to be patient for a few days.

Thinking of this, Murong Hongyi put away the medicine bag, stood up and lay down on the soft couch.

Inside the carriage.

Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin leaned against each other and whispered, and they laughed from time to time.

"When they fall asleep, we'll use drugs to knock them out."

"And that Prince Yi, he always looks unconvinced. Challenge him one-on-one tonight and beat him until he's convinced." Jiang Ruo said, smiling.

Xiao Chengjin lifted the carriage curtain and glanced at the candlelit tent room, then whispered, "Let's do it."

.......

Midnight.

"Ruoruo, wait here."

Jiang Ruo rubbed her sleepy eyes and nodded "hmm".

Xiao Chengjin took the sleeping pills given by Jiang Ruo and quietly got off the carriage.

This drug has a short duration of effect and won't cause any major problems.

He sneaked into several account offices and easily knocked out all of Murong Hongyi's subordinates.

At this moment, the guards and herdsmen who were guarding the cattle and sheep were sitting by the fire, leaning against each other and drowsy.

When Xiao Chengjin saw this scene, he curled the corners of his lips.

Tonight, everything seems to be going particularly smoothly.

Xiao Chengjin slowed down his pace and turned around to make sure that no one had "slipped through the net", then walked towards Murong Hongyi's account office.

He knocked on the tent door a few times and stood there waiting.

Murong Hongyi heard the noise and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

"It's me." Xiao Chengjin's cold voice came from outside the tent.

Murong Hongyi: “…”

Xiao Cheng?

What is he doing here so late at night and not sleeping?

Could it be...that he is here to apologize?

Thinking of this, Murong Hongyi suddenly became energetic and stood up from the couch.

Haha, this Xiao Cheng must be afraid of losing face during the day, so he came here late at night.

"Coming." He responded in a low voice, put on his fox fur coat, and walked towards the tent door with an excited look.

Jiang Ruo in the carriage was secretly observing the movements here.

When she saw Murong Hongyi coming out of the tent, she quickly put on a fox fur cloak and jumped off the carriage.

Hey! I'm going to watch the fun.

Murong Hongyi opened the tent door and looked at Xiao Chengjin standing outside in the moonlight, his eyes full of pride.

He couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Cheng, are you here to apologize to this prince?"

Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows and directly stated his purpose, "I'm not here to apologize, but to challenge you in a duel."

As soon as these words came out, Murong Hongyi shrank back as if by reflex, and at the same time, a surge of anger rushed to his forehead.

One on one?

Are you here to cause trouble in the middle of the night?

When he thought of Xiao Chengjin's strength, Murong Hongyi suppressed his anger.

"Xiao Cheng, are you sure you want to challenge this prince in a duel?" His tone clearly lacked confidence.

At this moment, Murong Hongyi, who was a little flustered, did not notice anything unusual and stared at Xiao Chengjin closely.

"Sure!" Xiao Chengjin nodded.

Murong Hongyi froze in place as if struck by lightning.

His mind raced...

It seems that this "one-on-one challenge" cannot be avoided at the moment.

By the way, I have some softening powder. I’ll use it tonight.

Murong Hongyi looked around warily and said helplessly, "Xiao Cheng, you said this, don't regret it."

"Go wait over there first, I'll be there soon."

"Remember, don't alarm them." Murong Hongyi said, pointing to an open place.

It is one thing that you are embarrassed, but the most important thing is that I am afraid that the victory will be unfair.

Xiao Chengjin sneered, turned around and walked towards the open space.

He agreed so readily all of a sudden, he must have been "prepared" in advance.

Murong Hongyi watched Xiao Chengjin leave, turned around and went back to the account office, took out the packet of muscle softening powder from under his pillow and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Jiang Ruo came to Xiao Chengjin and asked in a low voice, "Did he agree?"

Xiao Chengjin chuckled and said jokingly, "Ruoruo, stay away from him later. He might try another way to defeat me."

Jiang Ruo immediately understood what he meant, "I understand. I will stay away from him."

This Prince Yi really puts a lot of effort into it!

In a moment, Murong Hongyi also came to the open space.

He looked at Jiang Ruo who was standing beside him and said in a cold voice: "Madam Xiao, tonight, this prince will let you see my true strength."

Jiang Ruo was immediately amused by him.

"Okay, I'll take a good look at your strength."

"However, my husband's strength seems to be even greater, no, several times greater."

Ugh! You are not worthy enough to compete with my man, you don't know your place.

Jiang Ruo took a few steps back and said, "Let's start!"

The sooner we beat you up, the sooner we can go back.

Xiao Chengjin and Murong Hongyi stood about ten meters apart, ready to fight.

Murong Hongyi pretended to adjust his cuffs, quietly took out the soft cloth from his sleeves and held it in his palm.

This subtle movement did not escape Xiao Chengjin's eyes.

He already knew what Murong Hongyi was going to do.

It turns out that it was drugged, wow!

"Prince Yi, how about I let you have three moves first?"

Murong Hongyi heard this and raised the corner of his lips, "Okay."

You are so arrogant, I will beat you until your teeth are left on the ground.

He clenched the medicine bag in his hand and rushed directly towards Xiao Chengjin...

When Xiao Chengjin saw Murong Hongyi rushing towards him, his face was full of disgust.

Can you try another move?

Murong Hongyi relied on the fact that Xiao Chengjin gave him three moves, raised his fist and hit Xiao Chengjin.

Xiao Chengjin just slightly turned sideways and easily avoided Murong Hongyi's fist.

After a few moves, Murong Hongyi became anxious as his fists couldn't touch Xiao Chengjin.

He took advantage of Xiao Chengjin's "inattention" to tear open the paper bag and sprinkle the powder on Xiao Chengjin...

Xiao Chengjin had long been on guard against Murong Hongyi's move.

He took a few steps back, circulated his internal energy, and used his backhand to throw the powder towards Murong Hongyi.

"You..." Murong Hongyi was stunned by the scene before him.

This was a "counterattack".

His legs suddenly gave way and he fell to the ground...
