Wei Qing spread out a topographic map of the peach forest.

"The terrain of Taolin is complex. Even though it has been 'developed' so many times, there are still countless untouched traps. Remember to follow the planned route and don't walk around randomly."

Several people nodded.

Su Li said: "Then again, the White Lotus Sect was destroyed so quickly, it was probably just an accident. Just relying on this mechanical array, it is enough to stop a large wave of the imperial army."

Su Mo said: "It's not an accident, it's just that my sister is amazing."

He praises his sister all the time.

Wei Ting: "Well, my wife is really amazing."

Wei Qing: "My sister-in-law is amazing."

Gui Bu nodded: "That's right."

Su Li was confused.

That's enough! Back to the point, Wei Qing reviewed the next plan with a few people.

"Last time, two of Xiahou Yan's subordinates broke into the peach forest. They probably didn't come from the miasma forest, but we can't rule out the possibility that they have antidote pills for miasma."

Qianshan Island is a powerful force with countless pharmacists. As a city lord, you will have no shortage of elixirs.

But the miasma forest has one advantage, which is that the vision is blocked, making it suitable for ambushes.

Wei Qing pointed at the map and continued, "If they pass through the miasma forest, lead them into the stone formation."

The Stone Array is a formation that even the Wei brothers don't want to break into. Not only is it extremely lethal, but the more fatal thing is that they will definitely be dispersed once they enter.

They only had to guard the periphery of the stone formation and kill anyone who came out.

This greatly weakened their fighting power.

Wei Qing said: “If the stone formation doesn’t kill them all, we can lead them to the valley behind the peach forest and kill them with arrows.

"Of course, plans are plans, but the true strength of Xiahou Yan can only be revealed after a fight. Unexpected situations may arise along the way, so everyone should respond with caution."

They never expected that Wei Qing's words would come true so quickly.

The accident happened before we even entered the peach forest.

A secret guard who was watching the Wanxian Tower came to report: "Xiahou Yan is secretly kidnapping people, all of them are women and children!"

Except for Su Li, the others were all generals with rich battlefield experience, and they immediately guessed Xiahou Yan's plan.

A few years ago, when fighting with Northern Yan, Northern Yan also used a similar method, capturing civilians at the border and placing them in front of the army as human shields to hinder the attack of the Great Zhou.

Su Li was so angry that she cursed: "Damn Xiahou Yan! How despicable!"

If Xiahou Yan really brought women and children into the peach forest, all their plans would not be able to be carried out at will.

Take the miasma forest for example, an ordinary person would definitely die if he went in.

Wei Ting clenched his fist: "Xiahou Yan!"

Wei Qing said: "I will come out and exchange the hostages later."

Gui Bu said in terror: "It's too dangerous. Once he finds out that you are from the Wei family, Xiahou Yan will kill you."

Wei Qing said calmly: "Brother, this is the only way." -On the street, Su Xiaoxiao was shopping with Princess Jingning and Princess Hui'an.

The two princesses traveled incognito, and the palace maids and eunuchs dressed up as servants and followed behind them.

When they were halfway there, a woman's scream suddenly came from the alley.

The streets were bustling with people.

The people didn't hear it.

Su Xiaoxiao was able to catch the unusual movement thanks to her sharp ears.

"What's wrong?"

Princess Jingning noticed that she looked strange and asked.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the alley across the street and said, "Someone is shouting in that alley."

Princess Jingning asked the young eunuch to go and take a look.

"ah--"

After the young eunuch entered the alley, he screamed and then there was no further movement.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned: "Wait for me here! Don't wander around!"

She went to the alley, only to find two masked robbers kidnapping people.

The young eunuch had been knocked unconscious.

A woman was trembling while holding a baby.

This is not the north of the city. In order to prevent people from associating it with the Wanxian Tower, Xiahou Yan specifically instructed his men to kidnap people in a farther place.

But Su Xiaoxiao still noticed that the other party's weapons and breath were different from those of ordinary robbers.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them deeply and shouted, "What are you doing!"

The two assassins looked at her.

Seeing that the prey was delivered to their doorstep, the two exchanged glances and pounced towards Su Xiaoxiao.

“Run!”

Su Xiaoxiao said to the woman.

The woman looked at Su Xiaoxiao with gratitude, then ran away with the child in her arms.

One of the assassins was about to give chase, but at this moment, Princess Jingning and Princess Hui'an came over.

"Little follower, who are you talking to?"

Two more?

The assassin did not chase the escaping woman and child, but directly used his lightness skills to stop the two of them.

Su Xiaoxiao looked back and forth between the two robbers.

"What are you looking at!"

A robber's scalp tingled at her sharp gaze.

Su Xiaoxiao turned her eyes away indifferently.

The three men had their hands tied and were stuffed into a dilapidated carriage.

A beautiful woman sat next to the three people and threatened: "You'd better not scream, or I'll kill you!"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her and lowered her eyes.

Like Meiji, she is good at charm.

When the carriage passed another alley, another woman was tied up.

When the three saw her, they were shocked, but no one showed it.

The woman sat down next to Princess Jingning with an expressionless face, just opposite Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her, and she also looked at Su Xiaoxiao a few times.

Neither of them said anything.

The carriage left the north gate.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that there was actually another carriage following behind this one, which should also contain the hostages they had captured.

The carriage headed north.

Going further ahead, there is either the imperial palace or the Peach Forest of the White Lotus Sect.

Obviously, the carriage turned in the latter direction.

"vomit--"

There was a sound of a child vomiting from the carriage behind.

"Save him! He's dying!"

It was another child's pleading voice.

The driver behind cursed and stopped the carriage.

The carriage that Su Xiaoxiao was in also stopped and waited for them.

Su Xiaoxiao listened to the noise and determined that the hostages in the carriage behind were all children, a total of five people.

The child got off the carriage and vomited, then was taken back into the carriage.

Princess Hui'an was so angry that she kicked her feet: "They don't even let the children go. They are worse than beasts!"

Su Xiaoxiao and the woman who was brought up last, looked at the woman who held them hostage at the same time.

The woman didn't move.

Soon, the carriage arrived near the peach forest of the White Lotus Sect.

Princess Hui'an had been to Taolin and recognized it at a glance.

She widened her eyes and looked at her little follower: Taolin, Taolin!

Su Xiaoxiao: Stay calm.

Princess Hui'an: Oh.

Su Xiaoxiao was clear about today's plan, and she almost guessed who this group of people were.

It seems that Xiahou Yan has taken the bait and decided to come to Taolin to keep the appointment.

But Xiahou Yan was more cunning and vicious than imagined, and captured women and children to use as human shields.

This way, it would not be so easy to ambush him.

The carriage stopped by the roadside.

Wuyou got off the carriage.

Soon, she changed her appearance, her clothes, and even her voice.

However, Su Xiaoxiao had been with Mei Ji for many days and was very familiar with the pair of eyes that were good at charm.

The assassin also tore off his clothes, revealing a black robe.

Xiahou Yan was the last to arrive.

But the strange thing was that there was another carriage following him.

"Including that man, there are thirty people in total."

The woman opposite said.

Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Why were you arrested too?"

The woman asked back, "Aren't you the same?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "We'll go into the woods and find a way to take the kids away."

As she spoke, she looked at Princess Hui'an and said, "Huanhuan, can you leave?"

Princess Hui'an whispered, "Of course I can! Don't worry, I can run very fast!"

Being dragged by Jingning to ride horses and shoot arrows every day, I have become stronger! ——I will never admit that I gained weight in southern Xinjiang!

Princess Jingning coughed lightly.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately asked in a flattering manner: "Can Ningning leave?"

Princess Jingning said: "Anyway, I can walk better than her."

Princess Hui'an curled her lips at Jingning.

However, what was unexpected was that Xiahou Yan, the bastard, did not let them go into the woods to act as human shields, but instead had people outside the woods shouting for the people in the woods to come out to see him.

Otherwise, he would kill one at a time until he had killed them all.

The first one to be pushed out was the "meddling" child.

He was a little beggar, with a pale face and skinny body. He looked only seven years old, but he should be older.

Princess Hui'an gritted her teeth in anger: "How abominable! These beasts don't even let such a young child go!"

The oldest of the other children was no more than ten years old, and the youngest was only two years old.

Su Xiaoxiao punched the car wall.

The assassin outside shouted, "What are you arguing about? Do you want to die?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's too stuffy in the carriage. I can't breathe."

Princess Jingning said, "She is pregnant. If this continues, someone will die, and you will lose a bargaining chip to threaten the other party."

The assassin went to report a few words to Xiahou Yan.

Xiahou Yan waved his hand.

The assassin came over, opened the curtain and said, "All of you come down!"

Several people got off the carriage . Su Xiaoxiao looked very weak and had difficulty moving.

Su Xiaoxiao walked towards the children calmly.

They are all hostages anyway, so it's normal to be detained together.

The assassin holding the child hostage said, "Count to three. If you don't come out, I will kill the first hostage!"

"three."

"two!"

The child was so scared that he burst into tears.

A golden eagle flew across the sky, making the roar of a sky overlord! Now is the time!

Su Xiaoxiao took the child in front of her and said, "Let's go!"

Princess Jingning and Princess Hui'an also each held a child.

The woman hugged the two-year-old child.

At almost the same moment, an arrow shot out from the woods and pierced the assassin's heart!

The woman used her Qinggong skills to pounce forward and grabbed the child who was almost killed.

In the woods, a rain of arrows came.

The woman leaped into the air and shuttled through the overwhelming rain of arrows.

Princess Hui'an asked worriedly as she ran, "Is she okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "No."

Because she is Leng Zhiruo.

Round after round of arrow rain stopped the men in black from pursuing them.

But it was only a few moments. The man in black avoided the oncoming rain of arrows, flanked them from the side, and soon caught up with them.

Behind him was a horrible miasma forest.

Wuyou, who had disguised himself for nothing, was filled with anger.

She looked at the group of women and children coldly: "Now, where are you going to escape?"

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Miss Leng, I will hold these people back, and you lead them into the miasma forest."

Leng Zhiruo asked: "Are you sure?"

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Yes."

Leng Zhiruo no longer hesitated and quickly led the group into the miasma forest.

Wuyou frowned.

He immediately took people to chase after him.

Su Xiaoxiao turned her fingertips, shooting out countless silver needles, then opened her purse and threw out a row of thunder beads.

The four men in black were blown to the ground and fell under the effect of the knockout drug.

However, there is no peace on earth.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to turn around, a long sword was placed across her neck.

This woman's lightness skills are amazing.

When did he come behind her? Wuyou walked around to her coldly and threatened, "Are you still trying to play dirty tricks? How about we see which is faster, your hidden weapon or my sword?"

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed.

Wuyou asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Su Xiaoxiao sneered: "I laugh at your stupidity, why do you think I dare to stay alone?"

She looked behind Wuyou and said, "Do it!"

Wuyou turned around suddenly, but found that there was no one there.

"How dare you play tricks on me? I'm going to cut you open and turn you—"

When Wuyou turned around, he was completely dumbfounded.

That woman is gone! 　Today's chapters are very long, sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.

Pharmacy: I finally got a chance to show off my power, have you fed me?
