Chapter 296 Kill two birds with one stone, and you deserve all the credit!

At the command, all the soldiers around drew their swords and rushed over here, instantly surrounding Xu Yanyi and others.

Some of them didn't know what was going on and were confused. "What did we see? What happened to us? What are we doing?"

"Why did you suddenly surround us? We are all the emperor's men, you can't treat us like this!"

…

Because just now only Xu Yanyi and another person saw what was in the box, and after that person knocked over the box, only something wrapped in black cloth rolled out, so many people didn't know what it was.

But the leader of the soldiers had already made up his mind to kill them, and didn't care whether they lived or died. While they were shouting, he waved his hand and shouted, "Attack!"

Soldiers came with swords in hand. Xu Yanyi immediately called out to the people around him, "Don't just stand there. If you don't want to die, quickly take out your weapons and fight them off. Otherwise, none of us will survive!"

Only then did the soldier who knocked over the box and Feng Xuanling beside her react and took action without hesitation!

The other soldiers saw people resisting and they didn't want to die either.

The danger had actually come, so no matter what had happened, they instinctively drew their swords and rushed forward.

"Everybody hurry up, today it's either them or us who will die, we have to rush out!"

"They don't treat us as human beings. They want to kill us. Let's fight!"

…

Xu Yanyi was afraid that these people would surrender soon, so she took advantage of everyone's curiosity and told them loudly, "These boxes are filled with human organs. If one of us finds out the truth, they will definitely not let us live. They must kill us today, so cheer up!"

After hearing this explanation, everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and in order to survive, they just gave it their all. The two armies immediately fought each other and it was a fierce battle. Outside the camp, there was a river of blood and corpses everywhere.

Fortunately, the battalion commander did not have too many soldiers. After all, the emperor and the empress dowager could not bring more soldiers out of the palace, so Xu Yanyi and Feng Xuanling could gain the upper hand with a few soldiers.

At this moment, a dissatisfied voice came from the tent, "What's going on outside? Why is there so much noise? Are you trying to save your life?"

It was a shrill, chicken-like voice, probably that of a eunuch.

Sure enough, a eunuch walked out of the tent, and when he saw the scene outside, he immediately questioned the leader next to him in dissatisfaction, "What's going on? How did it become so chaotic outside in a short time? How do you do things? If this disturbs the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, I wonder what you will do!" The leader was still arrogant just now, but when he saw the eunuch, he immediately softened his posture, "Eunuch, don't be angry, these people were just serving outside, who knew that some of them were curious and secretly looked at the things in the basin, so they couldn't stay, so I asked them to clean it up for me to prevent future troubles!"

He said it calmly. After all, this is what they usually do when encountering such things, and they can always suppress them.

But as more and more people died outside, and most of them were his people, he became more and more uneasy.

"No, this time these people are so difficult to deal with. If we continue like this, I'm afraid... the truth will be exposed!"

The eunuch on the side heard this and narrowed his eyes slightly, "That's simple. Since these people have discovered our secret, we must not let them stay."

"Oh, right, we just happen to be short of some medicinal herbs, and we are too lazy to go look for them. Since these people are looking for death, it's not our fault."

At this point, the eunuch turned around and ordered the leader, "These people are all troublemakers. You must lure them all in and then kill them all. This will not only silence them but also serve as medicine for the emperor. It's a two-pronged approach, and you will definitely get all the credit!"

When the chief heard this, he was very excited. He thought that he would not miss the credit. Besides, there would be no need to make such a big fuss and the matter could be solved easily.

He nodded immediately and watched the eunuch enter the tent. Then he turned around, blew a whistle and shouted, "Stop!"

Following his order, his men stopped immediately. Xu Yanyi and others also stopped immediately to see what they were going to do!

The leader said with a smile, "It's not that serious. After all, we are all family members. You didn't do it on purpose. Now that it has happened, let's just resolve it."

"You're talking about solving it now? What did you just say?" one of the soldiers asked angrily.

Immediately afterwards, many people behind him gasped, after all, they were the ones who started the attack first.

The leader was not in a hurry. "I was indeed a little too impulsive just now, but in fact, everyone can be spared from death. As long as you follow me in and apologize to the emperor, I will say a few good words to you. The emperor is magnanimous and will naturally not hold it against you."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people began to look doubtful. After all, they didn't know whether they should believe the leader.

All of a sudden, some of them started to focus their attention on Xu Yanyi. After all, it was Xu Yanyi who had gathered everyone together to resist. Otherwise, who knows how many people would have died by now.

Xu Yanyi and Feng Xuanling looked at each other. Anyway, they both wanted to go in and find out what was going on. Although the leader's eyes were full of disdain and it was obvious that he looked down on them, there must be a trick in letting them in.

But even though she knew it was a scam, Xu Yanyi had to go. After all, her main goal now was to find Mu Nanzhou's whereabouts. She happened to have no better plan to sneak in, so she could have the best of both worlds by following these soldiers in.

She simply put down the weapon in her hand and said, "Then go in. The emperor will definitely be lenient with us."

In fact, she knew very well that these people might never come out alive after going in, but she still had to say this, firstly to let the other party relax their vigilance, and secondly to let the soldiers behind her listen. If anyone could get out alive, they should at least know what happened in there and not blindly accept the master.

The other soldiers followed suit, put down their weapons, gathered with Xu Yanyi, and then followed their leader into the tent.

However, none of them noticed that when Xu Yanyi passed by a soldier guarding the door of the tent, he secretly took a dagger from the soldier's body and then hid the dagger on his body.
