As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes widened suddenly, and he slammed his head against the Imperial Guard's broadsword.
Blood splattered everywhere, a chilling sight.
Zhao Hui collapsed to the ground with a thud, completely lifeless.
Everything happened too fast.
Chen Wan'er was startled by this sudden turn of events.
She looked at Qin Yuezhao in astonishment.
You know, a lot of effort was put into tonight's preparations. Now that Zhao Hui has died suddenly, won't we be unable to get the list?
If that's the case, she'll be in serious trouble!
Qin Yue Zhao frowned deeply, clearly not expecting things to turn out this way.
Not long ago, the bearded man said that the breeding center knew everything about the mastiffs and eagles, and she was also thinking of getting a list of people who had previously summoned mastiffs and eagles through the breeding center by Northern Barbarian spies.
Now that Zhao Hui is dead, all of this has come to an abrupt halt...
Thinking about it, his gaze fell on Sun Ming.
Instantly, Sun Ming was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, stammering incoherently, "It wasn't me! I really don't know anything! Your Highness, spare me! Spare me!"
Seeing that he had suddenly lost his mind, Chen Wan'er simply raised her hand to slap him again.
Qin Yue Zhao raised her hand to stop her, strode up to Sun Ming, grabbed his collar, and said sharply, "Where is the roster?"
Sun Ming's eyes widened, and his howl grew even louder.
"I don't know, I really don't know anything, please don't kill me..."
"Whoosh~"
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Yue Zhao raised her right hand and swiftly and accurately pierced a silver needle behind Sun Ming's ear.
Sun Ming's body trembled instantly, as if he had been injected with chicken blood and had become energetic.
Qin Yue Zhao curled her lips into a cold smile: "Now, do you remember?"
Sun Ming, whose emotions had been calmed by the silver needles, looked at Qin Yue Zhao in disbelief.
"Your Highness, I really don't know! I only know that not long ago, a young master came to the pens, talked with Zhao, and then took away the account books."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue Zhao's eyes grew even more profound.
"What's your name? Where are you?"
Sun Ming shook his head in despair.
"The man was wearing half a ghost mask, so his face was not visible at all. All that was known was that Zhao would address him as 'Sir'."
"My lord?" Qin Yue Zhao was even more puzzled.
Sun Ming nodded.
"Although I can't see his face clearly, I can tell from his voice that he is not a Da Gan person, and he doesn't speak the Da Gan language fluently."
Qin Yue Zhao frowned, quickly grasping the key point in his words.
"Since that person was wearing a mask and spoke incoherently, how did you confirm their identity?"
Sun Ming truthfully replied, "The spies from the Northern Barbarians all wear strange rings with strange runes engraved on them, like snakes."
Snake pattern totem?
Qin Yue Zhao's heart suddenly trembled.
As if the fog had been suddenly lifted, she opened her eyes abruptly.
"Oh no! We must get back to the palace immediately! The Northern Barbarians' target isn't me, but the Treasure Basin!"
These words shocked the entire audience.
Chen Wan'er asked in confusion, "Why does Your Highness say that?"
Qin Yue Zhao explained, "The black totem ring. I saw Jia Dafu wearing such a ring on his hand the day he came to the General's Mansion."
