"They are Miao people. How could Miao people be here? This is still on our Yanyun City's territory."
"Shut up! You two, go and arrest those two."
Qi Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, a hint of greed and calculation flashing within them.
In his view, this was a golden opportunity.
Miao people generally prefer to do things secretly and rarely show their faces in person.
Even when they do appear, they are often hidden within the barbarian ranks, under tight protection, making it difficult for them to have a chance to strike.
This time, two lone Miao people appeared in front of him, which was a godsend.
Qi Chengfeng was secretly pleased with himself, feeling that God was helping him.
If he can capture these two people and force them to work for him, then there will be no need for this negotiation, and he will no longer be subject to Shen Muzhi's control.
Thinking of this, Qi Chengfeng's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, but unfortunately, the smile on his face froze the next moment.
As soon as the small group of people approached the tree where the two were, countless flying ants suddenly flew up from the ground.
Seeing these flying ants reminded him of the collapsed palace.
Meanwhile, the flying ants had already reached the small group of people and began an indiscriminate attack, leaving the group defenseless.
Anyone whose face is touched by flying ants will immediately become red and swollen, and the swelling will continue to increase, like a steamed bun that has risen too much, until it is so swollen that the eyes cannot be opened.
But that's not the worst part. The worst part is that they slowly realize they can't breathe through their nostrils, and then they can't even open their mouths. Before long, they will die of suffocation.
Faced with this situation, the small team tried to find a solution, but unfortunately, there were too many flying ants to resist.
In the chaos, some people tried to escape, but were quickly caught by flying ants and covered in them, eventually collapsing to the ground unable to move.
The others gradually lost their ability to resist and could only watch helplessly as they were devoured by the flying ants.
The manner of his death can only be described as tragic.
Qi Chengfeng witnessed all of this and a chill ran through him.
Yan Xiao, however, seemed somewhat excited upon seeing this scene, and leaned closer to Shen Muzhi, whispering:
"Is this your backup plan? What is your purpose?"
Shen Muzhi smiled and said, "Keep an eye on it first, I'll tell you later."
"Hmph, still keeping me in suspense?"
The young couple were whispering happily in the crowd, while Qi Chengfeng was not in such a good mood.
When his gaze shifted to the Jiangbei delegation, and he saw that they still acted as if it were none of his business, his already unpleasant expression turned even more so.
Qi Chengfeng squinted at General Cui: "General Cui, the Miao people are our common enemy. It's not appropriate for you to just stand by and watch."
Upon hearing this, General Cui looked at him with an expression that said, "I don't understand what you're talking about." He then feigned innocence and said:
"General Qi, you're joking. We're hostages now. Didn't you repeatedly warn us to behave ourselves when we set off? Why are you complaining now that we're too well-behaved? You can't push your luck too far!"
"you......"
Looking at General Cui's face, Qi Chengfeng was furious. He swore he had never been so eager to kill anyone before.
"Everyone knows that you have the Miao people helping you in Jiangbei. I have reason to suspect that Shen Muzhi deliberately invited me out, ostensibly to negotiate, but in reality, he wanted to use the Miao people to ambush and kill me."
Qi Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Ha~, what gentleman? Shen Muzhi is nothing but a scoundrel!"
"Alright, if you want our help, just say so. Using this kind of reverse psychology is just a despicable act."
Ignoring Qi Chengfeng's unpleasant expression, General Cui waved to the people around him, signaling them to take off the sachets from their waists.
After those people took off the sachets and handed them to General Cui, General Cui threw them directly to Qi Chengfeng:
"Don't say that we people from Jiangbei City are disloyal. This person is clearly after you, City Lord Qi. Given the current relationship between our two cities, we have no reason to risk our lives for you. Don't you agree, City Lord Qi?"
Qi Chengfeng was worried that he would be angered to death by General Cui, so after taking the sachet, he ignored General Cui.
He kept one for himself and distributed the rest to his trusted confidants.
"Capture them, I want them alive."
"yes!"
At a command, several figures sprang into action, rushing like arrows toward the two people still standing in the tree directing the poisonous insects to attack.
Miao spies outside the city received a secret report that the city lord of Jiangbei City would be leading a hundred men out of the city, a rare opportunity.
These two were ordered by the clan elders to eliminate Qi Chengfeng. They originally thought there were only a hundred people, so they should be easy to deal with, but when they arrived, they found that there were two groups of people.
Even so, they were confident, but the other team was completely unaffected. The poisons they controlled automatically avoided them, which greatly surprised them.
Their current task is to eliminate Qi Chengfeng, but judging from the appearance of that group of people, they seem to just want to observe.
But then they discovered that Qi Chengfeng's men took something that looked like a sachet and rushed towards them without any hindrance.
"Brother Feng, what are those things on their waists? How can they repel the poisonous insects we attract?"
The woman holding the bone flute showed a hint of anxiety on her face, but more so, suspicion.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that something is strange about this."
"So what should we do next? It looks like we can't stop them anymore."
Upon hearing this, the man glanced down and realized that in just a few words, the group of people were already almost in front of them.
His eyes instantly darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying:
"There's no point in continuing like this; let's retreat."
"But how am I going to explain this to my superiors when I get back?" The woman was clearly hesitant.
The man took out a bone whistle from his pocket, blew it forcefully several times in one direction, and then replied:
"This commotion is really huge. They attacked several forces almost at the same time. I already felt something was wrong, but now that something that can control poisonous insects has appeared, it's even more suspicious."
"Brother Feng, what do you mean by that?"
The woman looked puzzled, seemingly confused and shocked by the man's words. She stared intently at him, trying to find the answer in his expression and tone.
The man frowned, a hint of worry and doubt in his eyes:
"I suspect there is a traitor within the clan, but I don't know what this person is up to."
In the short time it took to say just a few words, two ferocious wild beasts suddenly appeared in their line of sight, running towards them.
In the blink of an eye, the two beasts had arrived at the tree where they were, and looked up at the two of them, letting out low growls.
"Let's retreat first, we'll deal with the rest later."
After speaking, the man quickly jumped down from the tree and landed accurately on the back of one of the beasts.
Seeing this, the woman didn't dare hesitate at all and immediately followed, jumping onto another beast.
The next moment, they rode the two beasts and rushed into the depths of the forest at top speed.
