In the next few days, Kang Yueran made his presence felt in Beijing during the day, and went to Huaizhou at night to visit all eighteen addresses one by one.
On the day she decided to take action, Kang Yueran bought some self-defense items from the space. She went to find Chai Shijing and told him that she would be away for two or three days.
Chai Shijing stared into Kang Yueran's eyes and asked, "Tell me the truth, are you going to the southwest?" Kang Yueran used to go out of the house almost every night. He didn't know what Kang Yueran was busy with, but he became more and more worried day by day.
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "I'll only be away for two or three days. I can't even reach the southwest, let alone Huaizhou. Don't worry..."
"Yueran, I know you don't like me asking about your affairs, but Yueran, I can't let you go to the southwest. Let's not talk about killing eighteen generals, just talking about Wu'an Hou Han Qi, his kung fu is very good, even if he is not as strong as you, you can't beat him.
The emperor once challenged Han Qi to a duel with the Duke of Zhenguo, and the two were barely evenly matched. The Duke of Zhenguo once said that no more than ten people in Dayong could defeat Han Qi. Furthermore, Han Qi must have brought a significant number of guards with him. "Yue Ran, the southwest is too dangerous. I can't let you go."
The eighteen portraits painted by Jiang Duo not only had the addresses marked on them but also the martial arts values. On the page with Han Qi, it was also written that Han Qi was an excellent martial arts master and that one should be extremely cautious.
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "I know Han Qi is good at martial arts and won't act rashly. Besides, my master is here to help, so why would I go to the southwest? I'm going there to help my master, so I'll only be back in two or three days."
"Yueran, I really hate myself..."
"I know you have no choice, Ajing. The emperor's life span is almost over, and you won't have to suffer so much soon."
Chai Shijing hugged Kang Yueran tightly and nodded gently. "A lifetime together! Yueran, I will never let you down!"
"Ajing, I believe you!"
As night fell, Kang Yueran bid farewell to Chai Shijing and headed straight for Huaizhou.
Using the Flying Tiger Claw, Kang Yueran climbed up the courtyard wall and came to the main courtyard. He grabbed a maid, strangled her neck with a little force, and after checking the master's official position and name, knocked the maid unconscious.
She would go back into the yard and find the person she wanted to kill. If they were asleep, she would slash their necks with a knife. If they were still awake, she would fight them. She was strong and the knife she used was extremely sharp. It was smeared with snake venom, which would kill them instantly.
On the first night, Kang Yueran took care of seven people; on the second night, he took care of nine people. The remaining two were Han Qi and his eldest son.
Although Han Qi inherited the title of Marquis of Wu'an from his ancestors, his personal strength is indeed not bad. Not only is he good at martial arts, he is also a rare military talent.
It’s a pity that Kang Yueran and him cannot coexist peacefully.
Kang Yueran deliberately put Han Qi at the end. She wanted to lure Han Qi outside so that it would be easier for her to take action.
Sixteen generals had died in two days, so Han Qi couldn't just stay home. As the general commander of the Huaizhou garrison, he decided to stay temporarily in the barracks to reassure the troops and protect himself, in order to prevent chaos.
Of course, he was also well aware that the next target was him and his eldest son, Han Ziming, so he brought 500 guards with him when he went to the camp.
Han Qi shouted, "There's a small mountain ahead, everyone be careful and alert."
Han Ziming was a little nervous and said, "Dad, why don't we send someone to investigate first, and then we can go through."
Wu Shu, the steward of the Han Mansion, replied, "Don't worry, sir. The master deliberately spread the word that he was leaving the city for the military camp today just to lure Kang Yueran here. I heard that Kang Yueran's arrows can reach a range of 500 to 600 meters. The master sent soldiers to search within a radius of 1,000 meters this morning."
"That's good, that's good! Uncle Wu, could it really be Kang Yueran who's coming?"
"I'm not sure if it's Kang Yueran, but to be able to kill sixteen people in a row, the person who came must be an expert. It's always better to be cautious."
Han Qi looked at Han Ziming with disappointment and a bit of disgust in his eyes. He didn't say anything, but squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse spread its legs and ran forward.
In the woods, Kang Yueran set up a long-range crossbow and was waiting for Han Qi and others to pass by.
Before dawn, the Han residence's steward sent several thousand soldiers up the mountain to patrol. The Han residence's people were more familiar with this small mountain path, and they stationed soldiers at every suitable ambush location.
This resulted in Kang Yueran being unable to find a best place to shoot arrows. She was afraid that Han Qi had another trick up his sleeve, so after weighing the pros and cons, she chose a place with a wide view.
Kang Yueran wanted to kill Han Qi, and Han Qi also wanted to kill Kang Yueran. He clamped his legs under the horse's belly to control its speed, trotting forward. Holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, he was always ready for Kang Yueran...
Kang Yueran waited until he saw Han Qi surrounded by people before shooting the first arrow.
Han Qi's hearing was excellent. He not only avoided Kang Yueran's arrow, but also successfully locked onto Kang Yueran's general direction. "Whoa..."
Han Ziming said anxiously: "Dad, why did you stop? Let's go!"
Han Qi growled, "Shut up!"
He winked at the butler, who nodded at him and then pointed to two soldiers, "Go notify the people on the mountain to encircle and suppress them."
The two soldiers rode their horses for more than ten meters before they were shot by arrows and fell to the ground one after another.
Han Qi sneered, "Kang Yueran, I found you!"
He drew his bow and shot an arrow, which flew towards Kang Yueran and landed less than a hundred meters away from her.
Kang Yueran's eyes were cold, "Han Qi, you really are quite capable!"
She took out two protective shields from the space and inserted them into the pits dug in advance. With the protection, Kang Yueran began to shoot arrows indiscriminately.
Choosing the long-range crossbow meant she had left no room for retreat. She had to kill all of these people, otherwise, if she missed even one, they could use the long-range crossbow to identify her.
