When Qin Cheng and his men arrived, Kang Yueran had already walked away. Looking at the more than 600 corpses, Qin Cheng frowned.
The subordinate handed a piece of cloth to Qin Cheng, "Sir, this was found on a tree high up over there."
There was a sentence written on the cloth: Seven wolves, six hundred and twenty-nine lives, tell the prince and Duke Lu, I made a profit!
How arrogant! Too arrogant! Qin Cheng put away the cloth and said, "Clean up the body!"
He followed the direction pointed by his men and came to the place where the cloth strip was found.
There was a piece of something on the ground that looked like a quilt woven with branches and leaves, and a short iron arrow was stuck between two stones next to it.
Qin Cheng pulled out the iron arrow and looked at it back and forth in his hand. He knew that Kang Yueran was telling him how she killed more than 600 people.
This leaf quilt must have been woven in advance, which means Kang Yueran had planned it. However, if the prince did not send someone to kill her, her plan would be in vain.

"Yes!" Qin Cheng saluted and stepped back.
Emperor Jianning stared at the strips of cloth and the iron arrows in front of him for a long moment. Past events flooded back like a flood, his heart aching like a knife, and he wanted to scream. But in the end, all he could do was murmur, "Do all female bandits enjoy violence this much?"
Li Xi didn't hear what Emperor Jianning said, but he knew that he was thinking about the past. He sighed silently in his heart and didn't dare to say anything.
