Chapter 16



Who is she?

Qin Peng was stumped by Bai Zhi's question.

Bai Zhi is a rational person who never believes in supernatural powers. She is the daughter of Zhao Peng's mother's maid. Bai Zhi's mother served Zhao Peng's mother all her life. After she was born, she followed Zhao Peng since she was a child. Zhao Peng was afraid of ghosts when he was a child, but Bai Zhi was never afraid because she firmly believed that the so-called ghosts and gods were all lies that disturbed people's hearts.

So if Qin Peng said to Bai Zhi at this moment, dear sister, I am your master Zhao Peng who has been dead for many years.

She had no doubt that Bai Zhi would torture her to extract a confession.

So she turned her head, raised her hand to hold her hair, covered up the moment of daze, and slowly said: "Who am I? I am the eldest princess of Qi State, the eldest lady of Wei Family, and the fierce enemy of Regent Qin Shuhuai. Knowing this, is it enough for Miss Baizhi?"

"Anyway," Qin Peng looked at Bai Zhi with a smile, "Isn't your goal to kill Qin Shuhuai? You and I can just cooperate. As for other things, why bother to go into detail?"

Bai Zhi didn't say anything, she just stared at the woman in front of her.

This woman's style of speaking and doing things was too similar to Zhao Peng's, which made her feel a little hesitant to do it.

As Zhao Peng's most capable subordinate, Bai Zhi had already thoroughly understood all the interpersonal relationships in Qi before coming there. And from her information, it was clear that the fourth princess was... someone with little killing power.

But it was this person who recognized her at a glance and also knew her husband, Xiahou Yan.

Bai Zhi pursed her lips, the knife still on Qin Peng's neck, and asked coldly: "How do you know my identity?"

"I checked Qin Shuhuai." Qin Peng spoke immediately, not even needing a draft for his lies: "I checked everyone around him, including everyone around his wife. As the closest person to Qin Shuhuai's first wife, I naturally know you."

This made Bai Zhi relax a little. She was also such a person. If she wanted to take action against someone, she would check everything clearly. She released the knife from Qin Peng's neck and drove the horse into the woods. Once in the woods, the horse could not run easily. Now Bai Zhi was injured in the shoulder and it was inconvenient for her to move. Qin Peng glanced at the pursuers behind him and immediately said to Bai Zhi, "Take off your clothes and give them to me. Tie the wound tightly to prevent bleeding. Go hide in the tree and don't move!"

"You..." Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and Qin Peng raised his hands to strip her clothes. The two of them changed their outer clothes while running. Qin Peng knew what she was going to say and quickly said, "Wait until the pursuers leave, run out and hide your wounds, and find a chance to go to Wei Mansion. I'll wait for you there. You want to bring down Qin Shuhuai, and I'll help you!"

After that, the two of them had almost finished changing their clothes. Qin Peng took the knife from Bai Zhi and cut a wound on his body. Then he put the knife back into Bai Zhi's hand, pulled his hair together, said, "See you later," and turned around and ran into the mountains.

Bai Zhi felt very nervous as she watched the man running away with his waist twisted. However, after thinking about it, she followed Qin Peng's instructions, bandaged the wound, climbed up the tree, and then waited quietly for the pursuers behind her.

The pursuers quickly caught up with the bloodstains, and then followed the direction where the grass was trampled. Bai Zhi waited for a while, and then saw Qin Shuhuai and his men coming.

Qin Shuhuai and Wei Yan split into two groups to chase the people. Wei Yan chased the direction where the horse ran, while Qin Shuhuai chased in the right direction.

In order to give Bai Zhi enough time to escape, Qin Peng ran forward as fast as he could, setting up obstacles while running. He ran forward, turned back, and then swung over the tree to run to other places...

Everyone was chasing after the bloodstains and broken grass branches, but they eventually found that the path was always lost...

Qin Shuhuai was fooled once, and immediately understood Qin Peng's trick, and said to the people around him: "Spread out and look for him."

Then he took three or two soldiers and chased after them.

Qin Peng left the others far behind and was a little tired from running, so he lay down on a tree at the edge of the woods, holding a fruit in his hand, with his hands behind his head, and resting while holding the fruit.

She didn't expect that she wouldn't be found. She would find it strange if Qin Shuhuai couldn't find her.

Whatever people do will leave traces. Qin Shuhuai has always been a meticulous person. It is only a matter of time before he finds her. But after calculating the time, she thinks Bai Zhi should be able to escape.

Qin Peng waited on the branch for a while, and then he heard some subtle sounds coming from the woods.

The sounds were very light, probably the sounds of people moving quickly through the woods. However, the sounds were so subtle that if one did not listen carefully, they sounded like those of some animals.

Such noises are often heard by killers and secret guards who need to hide desperately. Qin Peng stopped throwing the fruit, held his breath, and slowly opened his eyes on the tree.

This was the edge of the forest. Not far away was an empty plain, and at the end of the plain was a bottomless cliff. Qin Peng held the short sword in his hand and watched the shadows approach him.

"ambush!"

The leader of the black shadows spoke in a hoarse voice, and a dozen black shadows were immediately led into the bushes or jumped onto the trees, lying motionless.

They were so focused that they didn't notice that higher up in the tree, there was a person hiding in the branches, looking at them lazily.

What are these people here for?

Qin Peng pondered, somewhat confused. Was he here to kill her or Qin Shuhuai?

She lay on the tree with her sleeves hanging down, quietly looking at the people below.

It was obvious that those people had received professional training for a long time. After lying down, they seemed to be non-existent. They did not move at all, and even their breathing was almost hidden.

After a while, the sound came from the distance again, and Qin Peng looked up.

Yep, Qin Shuhuai.

Qin Shuhuai did not ride a horse. He explored all the way with three guards. The guards cleared the way for him. He clasped his hands in his sleeves, his face calm, and looked around.

The people lying on the grass piles against the trees became visibly nervous. Their breathing was almost undetectable. Everyone was crawling on the ground, their muscles tensed, and they raised their hands to press on their magic swords.

Qin Peng looked at the two sides of the group with a smile and said nothing. Qin Shuhuai walked forward slowly, and when he was about to reach the ambush circle of that group of people, he suddenly stopped.

Qin Peng's heart skipped a beat, and he saw the man first looking at the ground, then slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on where Qin Peng was hiding.

Eyes met.

One has a calm face and is not alarmed.

She was holding a fruit in one hand and had a dazed look on her beautiful face, which made her look quite cute.

Qin Shuhuai opened his mouth and said two words: "Come down."

Qin Peng came back to his senses and smiled slightly. Qin Shuhuai frowned, thinking that the man's smile was a little strange. At this moment, a cold knife suddenly came! A dozen people suddenly rushed out from the darkness.

Qin Shuhuai's eyes suddenly turned cold. Qin Peng lay on the tree branch, raised his hand and took a bite of the fruit, snorted and laughed, and said word by word with his lips: "No, come down."

The guards next to him were entangled with the killers, but Qin Shuhuai put his hands in his sleeves, motionless as a mountain. Seeing Qin Peng's mouth shape, he raised his hand without saying a word, grabbed the wrist of the person next to him, and with a single blow, he knocked the long sword out of his hand, then slashed the opponent's neck with the sword in his backhand.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the warm blood fell on Qin Shuhuai's face. Qin Shuhuai held a long knife in his hand, and his face was covered in blood. His scholarly demeanor was completely destroyed, and instead he carried the aura of a Shura with a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood behind him.

Qin Peng was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why, but suddenly he felt a little panicked.

He seems... angry? ?
