After confirming Fu Yin's current condition, Shen Huaixu reopened the window. There were no people on the street, and Qi Zhan was anxiously asking about Fu Yin's whereabouts.
"General Qi, what happened?" she asked loudly.
Qi Zhan paused in scolding his soldiers, looked up, and narrowed his eyes, "Who are you?"
Shen Huaixu saluted and said, "General, you can just call me Mingyi."
Qi Zhan's face twitched unconsciously, and he looked at Shen Huaixu seriously for a long while before finally saying, "So you are the Princess Mingyi. I'm so sorry for your disrespect."
He sloppily bowed and said, "There are one hundred households in my army. I'm sure the county lady will recognize them. Since you are in a high position, I wonder if you have ever seen them?"
He remembered that the young lady upstairs had caused the Northern Qiang army of 100,000 to be defeated without a fight, and he disliked women participating in military affairs. It would have been fine if he hadn't seen her before, but now that he saw her, he felt very complicated.
Shen Huaixu pretended to think for a moment, "This county lady has never seen it before. If the general agrees, I would like to see the corpse. What do you think?"
She was pointing at the masked man who had fallen from the roof.
Qi Zhan looked at the sky and knew that it was not appropriate to delay any longer. Unfortunately, the missing person was the most important person. It would be great if the Lady Mingyi could see something.
After thinking it over, he was about to look up and agree when he saw Shen Huaixu jump down directly from the second floor of the teahouse, his eyes immediately widened.
After landing steadily, Shen Huaixu cast an inquiring look at Qi Zhan, and after he nodded silently, he walked to the corpse and examined it carefully.
The lower half of the masked man's face was distorted as if it had been burned by fire, and only a shapeless hole remained of his mouth.
The body had been searched. Shen Huaixu collected the powder from under his fingernails before saying to Qi Zhan, "General Qi, if my guess is correct, Captain Fu must have been poisoned and then abducted."
She held up the powder on the handkerchief and showed it to Qi Zhan. "This powder has a strange fragrance. I know some medical skills, but I've never heard of it before."
Qi Zhan glanced at her, walked forward and sniffed lightly. There was very little powder on the handkerchief, but after sniffing it, it was obviously uncomfortable. He glared at the two soldiers who had just searched her, then turned around and asked, "Where do you think this thing came from?"
Chen Huaixu carefully put away the handkerchief and remained silent for a while before whispering, "When it comes to using poison, the people of Nanxia are the best at it."
She only mentioned this briefly and suggested, "There's no time to lose. General Qi should go and see His Majesty first. After seeing His Majesty, you can find Fu Baihu as soon as possible."
"Isn't the county lady afraid that Fu Baihu will be eaten alive by the thieves?"
Chen Huaixu remained calm, "Since they've taken him abducted, they must have information they want to obtain. By abducting a centurion, they're probably looking for military secrets. Captain Fu has just performed a great service, and Your Majesty won't let it go. If General Qi is worried about Captain Fu, why not go and ask Your Majesty for help?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard behind him.
