Chapter 201 Kill them all! Leave no one alive!

Murong Mian did not bring many people with her when she came to the capital this time. She disguised herself as an old woman in her fifties or sixties and left the city easily.

She waited for five full days at the place agreed upon with Murong Ye, but Murong Ye did not come to meet her.

Instead, imperial edicts came out from the palace one after another.

She, the eldest princess of Jiuzhou, suddenly became a traitor who colluded with the enemy.

In order to avoid exposing her whereabouts, she had no choice but to make herself up to look like an old woman. She had never been so desperate in her life!

Now that Murong Ye's attempt to force her into the palace had failed, not only had she been implicated, but her husband had also been nailed to the pillar of shame as a rebel.

She had selfish motives when she encouraged Murong Ye to rebel. It was impossible for her to say that she had no resentment in her heart at this moment.

Murong Mian frowned and was silent for a long while. He sighed and said, "Forget it. Since Aye hasn't come yet, he must have been stopped by the pursuers. Let's not wait any longer and set off back to Northern Frontier!"

Jiu Cai Hezi next to him disagreed and immediately retorted, "No! Your Highness, Murong Jun is injured. Maybe he was delayed by something. Let's wait for them!"

The burns on her face had almost healed, but they left ugly scars, which she could only cover with a veil.

Murong Mian glanced to the side, met her determined eyes behind the veil, and frowned even more, "Ms. Hezi, you are not from Jiuzhou, so you don't know how serious it is to be charged with treason! If we are caught and become hostages, we will only become a weak link and a burden to Aye!"

She really disliked this Japanese princess, who had her own ideas and didn't listen to orders, and was very annoying!

If she hadn't promised Murong Ye to take Jiu Cai Hezi to the Northern Frontier, she really wanted to get rid of this trouble!

Jiu Cai Hezi also didn't like Murong Mian, and felt that she didn't care about Murong Ye at all. "I have the ability to protect myself, I won't be caught. Since the princess doesn't plan to wait for Murong Jun, then I won't go with you!"

Murong Mian suppressed his impatience and said in a calm tone, "Miss Hezi, when Aye left the palace, he specifically told me to take good care of you. If you leave without permission, how can I explain to Aye?"

Jiu Cai Hezi was too lazy to look at her hypocritical face, "No need for you to tell me, I will find him myself!"

After saying that, she grabbed her bag on the table, turned around and rushed out without hesitation.

The confidant that Murong Mian brought from the northern border glanced at the back of Jiu Cai Hezi as he left, and asked Murong Mian, "Princess, do you need me to bring him back?"

Murong Mian squinted her beautiful eyes and pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "No need, we will set off overnight and return to Northern Frontier as soon as possible!"

"Your Highness, it's time to change the medicine."

Sisha was standing outside the cabin holding a tray with a jug of liquor, a bottle of golden medicine, a pair of scissors and a stack of gauze. He pushed the door open and entered after hearing a response from inside.

These wooden houses were built by nearby hunters. As the weather got colder and colder, and there were no prey to hunt, several of the wooden houses were temporarily uninhabited.

Si Sha was worried that Murong Ye's injuries would continue to worsen if they kept chasing him, so he decided to hide in the mountains to rest for a while. It would be safer for them to leave after the search was successful.

Murong Ye was lying on his side on the wooden bed, warming himself by the fire. When he saw him come in, he propped himself up and got up.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Sisha quickly put the tray on the table beside him and rushed forward to help him.

Murong Ye sat up with great effort, his eyes full of self-mockery, "I can't even get out of bed alone in my current state. If it weren't for you, I would have been dead a long time ago."

"Your Highness, you gave me this life. To me, you are the most important person! No matter what the road ahead holds, I will face it with you!"

"Murong Che has abolished my title of prince, so don't call me Your Highness anymore. I am two years older than you, so if you don't mind, you can call me brother."

"Your Highness! In my heart, you will always be the lofty and wise king!"

Si Sha said this and knelt down beside the wooden bed.

"Okay, stop kneeling down all the time. From now on, we don't have to worry about these empty formalities."

"yes!"

Sisha stood up, cut the gauze with scissors, and picked up the liquor bottle. "Your Highness, it will be very painful to clean the wound with liquor. Please bear with it!"

When he was on missions in the past, he and his men were injured and could not find a doctor, so they treated each other's wounds.

Therefore, when there was no doctor available to treat Murong Ye, Si Cha cleaned and treated the wound according to his own prescription.

Murong Ye nodded, "You pour it!"

I have been traveling all night these days, and the wound is often bleeding. It really needs to be cleaned thoroughly.

The strong liquor was poured on the wound, and the burning pain instantly spread throughout Murong Ye's limbs, but he didn't say a word.

He clenched his teeth and told himself in his heart that he must remember the pain and humiliation Murong Che brought him!

After cleaning the wound, Sisha applied golden abscess medicine to him, then cut the gauze with scissors and wrapped the wound layer by layer.

Murong Ye was already sweating coldly from the pain.

In the past, he lived a life of luxury and was very accommodating, bathing and burning incense every day.

During these days of escape, he was covered in blood and had not taken a bath.

But he didn't care about it now. After changing the medicine, he lay back on the wooden bed.

He still has a lot of things to do, and nothing is more important than healing as soon as possible!

Murong Ye lay at the head of the bed, paused for a moment, and spoke in a low voice, "Calculating the date, the Nanzhao envoys will almost arrive in Lingnan, right? Has there been any news from there?"

Si Sha nodded, "Two days ago, my subordinates sent a message directly, asking them to take action as soon as they leave Lingnan."

Outside the Lingnan Mountains, there is a stretch of hills. That area belongs neither to Jiuzhou nor to Nanzhao.

This stretch of land, located on the border between the two countries, is often roamed by bandits, and passers-by and merchants are often robbed.

If they take action here, even if Murong Che is prepared, he will be unable to do anything.

After hearing what Si Sha said, Murong Ye raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, "Si Sha, you arranged this matter very well."

After talking to Sisha for a few sentences, he felt overwhelmed.

Murong Ye didn't say much and soon closed his eyes to rest.

…

At the same time, Meng Shi and his entourage left Lingnan and entered a hilly area.

These hills resemble tigers, so this place is also called Tiger Hill.

Meng Shi was also a very prestigious general in Nanzhao. He looked at the sky that was getting dark and raised the torch in his hand. "Everyone, please work harder. After passing this hill, we will be in Nanzhao!"

The road here was rugged, and they led their horses and moved slowly forward in the dim light of torches.

The places where the torches could not reach were pitch black, and from time to time one could hear the chirping of birds, which made one feel creepy.

When they went to Jiuzhou, they crossed the hills during the day. They were escorted by the Nanzhao army and did not think it was a big deal.

But at this moment, Lan Luo looked at the fog spreading all around him, his right eyelid twitched, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, "General Meng, why is there fog here?"

Meng Shi sniffed and felt that the white mist smelled a little strange.

The next moment, his face suddenly changed and he shouted, "There is a drug in this mist! Everyone, cover your mouth and nose quickly!"

Unfortunately, his reminder came too late, and most of the people in the team had already inhaled a lot of the drugs in the mist.

Their bodies swayed uncontrollably and they felt dizzy.

Lan Luo raised his hand to cover his nose, but he still felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and weakness in his limbs. "General Meng, my legs seem to be out of control, I can't even lift them up!"

"General, so are we! We can't seem to move!"

Meng Shi's body also showed signs of abnormality, and he wanted to use his inner strength to suppress the effect of the drug.

Who knew that as soon as he used his strength, his chest would suddenly churn like a sea.

Meng Shi felt a fishy-sweet taste in his throat, turned his head and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"General!"

When everyone saw Meng Shi vomiting blood, they were all shocked and asked, "What happened to you?"

Meng Shi was silent for a moment, then suddenly drew the sword from his waist and slashed his palm hard.

The moment the blood gushed out, the severe pain made his mind clearer.

Meng Shi gritted his teeth and said to the envoys in a deep voice, "Everyone must keep a clear head. I will lead the charge, and you must follow closely. Don't fall behind! No matter whether there are jackals or tigers and leopards ahead, I will protect you!"

With his words, everyone felt relieved and followed him closely.

However, before they had taken a few steps, dozens of strong and sturdy figures suddenly appeared on the mound not far away. They held long swords in their hands and shouted, "Kill them! Don't spare any!"

These people stared at the envoys' carriages and horses with eyes like hungry wolves seeing their prey.

There were many powerless civil servants in the envoys' group. When they saw the tall figures rushing in this direction, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. "The bandits are coming! Everyone, run for your lives!"

They were terrified to the extreme and wanted to escape, but they had just inhaled a lot of fog and felt completely powerless. They fell to the ground after running a few steps and could only watch the bandits surrounding them.

Finished!

It's all over now!
