Chapter 474 Cao Yizhao's Dirty Trick
Upon hearing this, Ah Chun hurriedly took out a map from his arms, glanced at it, and replied through the car window, "According to our current itinerary, we should arrive around dusk in three days."
After a day's journey, everyone is tired in the evening. If they encounter an ambush, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Wei Qingyan pondered and said, "I am not feeling well. I will camp here to rest and set off tomorrow morning. Please ask Master Jing to come over."
When Ah Chun heard that she was not feeling well, she felt a little nervous, but she soon realized that this was just an excuse and that the Crown Princess must have other arrangements.
He quickly turned around and invited Mr. Jing over.
As soon as Master Jing climbed onto the carriage, he heard Wei Qingyan ask, "How much poison did Master Jing bring?"
The poisons that Jing Lao carried with him were all his precious treasures. He was busy covering the cloth bag hanging diagonally on his body and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Killing about four to five thousand people, maybe even more."
If the rebels wanted to capture her, they would certainly outnumber the National Protection Army.
Unless necessary, she didn't want to confront them head-on and cause unnecessary losses. If the rebels could ambush her, she could also poison them.
When Mr. Jing heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. This task was easy and did not require his treasures.
Then he chuckled and said, "I don't have the medicine to poison so many people at once.
But I can make it. As long as I have the herbs, I can make it for you in one night."
Wei Qingyan knew that Mr. Jing was good at making poison, so he asked him to list the herbs he needed and ordered the guards and secret guards to disperse. The secret guards would disguise themselves as merchants or civilians and go to nearby cities or towns to buy the herbs before sunset.
The guards went to buy pregnancy-preserving drugs as a deception.
She knew the map of the Great Wei Dynasty by heart. She remembered that Fengtouling was full of mountains and dense trees, and a long section of the road was in the canyon.
Therefore, many years ago, travelers were often robbed here, and later a group of bandits even set up camp here, causing frequent bandit problems.
After my father ascended the throne, he ordered people to wipe out the bandit's lair. Although there are no bandits now, the terrain makes it very easy to set an ambush.
She had to be on guard.
The next day, on Fengtouling Mountain.
A middle-aged man strode up to Cao Yizhao and said, "Young Master, we received a letter via carrier pigeon that Wei Qingyan's team suddenly stopped to rest.
Not long afterward, several guards went into the city to buy some medicinal herbs. They happened to go to our herbal medicine shop, and the doctor said they were buying medicine to stabilize pregnancy."
Cao Yizhao's brows furrowed slightly.
Pregnancy-maintaining medicine?
Is there something wrong with the fetus in Wei Qingyan's belly?
Yes, traveling is not easy, not to mention that she is pregnant.
However, he still ordered, "Have someone keep an eye on the city's pharmacies to see if there are any other suspicious people buying medicinal herbs."
Wei Qingyan is a cunning person.
He needs to be cautious about every move she makes.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man turned around and went out to give instructions, then came back in, "Young Master, do you think Wei Qingyan will guess that we are setting an ambush at Fengtou Ridge?"
After all, this place had been plagued by banditry before, and Wei Qingyan had been in the court for a long time, so he might not be unaware of it.
If she knew the terrain here and suspected an ambush and made plans early, then all their efforts would be in vain.
Cao Yizhao also thought of this and said after a moment of silence, "Tell the people below to be more cautious these two days and not to expose themselves.
Also, send someone to the pharmacy to prepare some medicine. If things go wrong, sprinkle it in the water sources before and after entering Fengtouling."
With so many people including Wei Qingyan, they always need to drink water. Even if they managed to escape their ambush, they would still fall into the water source.
"Young Master, if you sprinkle the medicine into the water source, I'm afraid many people downstream will suffer."
It's not that he is kind to the people, but if a large number of people are poisoned, it will inevitably attract the attention of the government.
After Feng Zhao's identity was exposed, the young master used a substitute to divert Shi Yu's attention and was determined to return to Wei.
This is because the young master has been working hard in the Wei Dynasty for many years and has secretly established a lot of forces.
However, they did not expect that before they even reached the capital of Wei, their forces were discovered by the Emperor of Wei and most of them were dealt with.
So their current situation is really not optimistic.
Logically, they should have left Wei in advance when Marquis Enhua started his rebellion, but the young master was determined to get Wei Qingyan.
Cao Yizhao knew what he was thinking and sneered, "Do you think we still have a chance after Wei Qingyan returns to the capital?"
This is most likely his last chance to capture Wei Qingyan in Wei.
If he fails again, he can only leave Wei temporarily. Since he has to leave, what can he do even if the government finds out?
Seeing that he had made up his mind, the middle-aged man dared not to persuade him any further and could only bow and retreat.
Not long after, another figure appeared in the room, and a soft female voice sounded, "Young Master..."
The visitor was the top prostitute in the brothel, and Cao Yizhao redeemed her at a high price.
Seeing that Cao Yizhao was handsome and generous despite his disability, the courtesan thought that if she could win over such a wealthy sponsor for the rest of her life, she would not have to worry about her wealth and prosperity for the rest of her life.
But unexpectedly, after being with Cao Yizhao for a month, he still had never touched her.
The courtesan has been taught since childhood to win over men's hearts with her beauty. Now that her sponsor hasn't even touched her body, how can she not be anxious?
Then he sneaked into the house, thinking of using some seductive tricks, but he didn't expect that what he got was Cao Yizhao's bone-chilling voice, "Take him away and feed him to the wolves."
The courtesan didn't dare to believe that Cao Yizhao was talking about her, and she looked behind her to see if there was anyone else in the room.
Until two men in black suddenly appeared and covered her mouth. She didn't even have time to scream before she was dragged away.
Cao Yizhao smelled the scent of powder in the air and frowned in disgust, "Burn incense."
When the smell of ambergris wafted through the air in the room, his frown gradually relaxed.
After leaving Feng Zhao, the two women that Leng Jian had found for him were also sent to him, but he could not be humane when facing those two women.
Having witnessed his embarrassment, he would not spare the lives of those two people.
Thinking that they might have been influenced by that bitch Chun Xing, Leng Jian found those two people too reserved, so he ordered people to find the courtesan.
However, the strong smell of powder on the courtesan really made him lose interest, so he left her aside, thinking that he would consider the matter of continuing the family line after catching Wei Qingyan.
But he didn't expect that this woman was so bold that she dared to sneak into her room without his permission.
He was too lazy to delve into how much she had heard of what she had just said, because after all, the dead could not reveal secrets.
But he never thought that a woman who could be hailed as the most beautiful woman would have her own charm.
What's more, the two men who were holding her were men who had been hidden in the mountains for years by Marquis Enhua for training and had not seen a woman for several years.
How could he withstand the tearful offering of the courtesan?
After a long time, the two men pulled up their pants with satisfied looks on their faces. The courtesan begged them to spare her life, saying that she was willing to hide in the mountains and never see the young master again, and would only serve them two in the future.
The two men, who had tasted the sweetness of it, thought that this woman had been ordered to die by the young master and would definitely not dare to show up in public to betray them, so they became tempted.
Seeing that the two men were wavering, the courtesan used all her skills to serve them again. She begged for mercy again pitifully, and the two men tied her up in a cave.
If she had survived, they could have lived happily ever after.
If she was eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, they would have completed the young master's order.
After tidying up their clothes, the two men cut some branches to block the entrance of the cave. Thinking of finding another opportunity to come and take a look tomorrow, they left whistling.
However, they didn't expect that when they came back the next day, there was no trace of the woman in the cave, nor was there any blood.
The woman escaped!
I couldn't understand how a weak and frail woman could escape even though she was tied up tightly.
But they tacitly agreed not to make a sound, otherwise if the young master knew that they had let the courtesan go, they would be the ones to die.
But the courtesan was brought to Wei Qingyan by the secret guards.
