Chapter 184 The Emperor's Chain Schemes
Ye Siyin thought that everyone was busy looking for a place to rest and no one was paying attention to her.
But as soon as she went into the woods, she was seen by Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang was not staring at Ye Siyin, but when Qi Hean rushed into the woods, she took a look at his position to prevent any accidents.
She said to Qi Yanzhou: "Ye Siyin is probably going to cause trouble, go check on my third brother."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Siyin came out of the woods screaming.
"Ah, go away, go away!"
She waved her arms and ran around as if she was avoiding something.
At first, no one paid attention and just watched Ye Siyin running around as if she was a joke.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard.
Someone shouted: "It's hornets, so many hornets!"
Ye Chutang quickly took out the rainproof tarpaulin from the cart and covered the Qi family members with it.
"Squat down. The venom of wasps is very strong. Although it is not fatal, it can cause unbearable pain after being stung."
Moreover, if you are stung too many times, or if you are stung in special parts such as nerves, it can be fatal.
The Qi family members immediately squatted down and tucked in the corners of the oilcloth to prevent hornets from getting in.
Aunt Xu was so anxious that she almost cried when she thought about her son going to the toilet.
"He'er is still outside, what should I do?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Of course she has to save her son!
"I'm going to go out and look for He'er. I'll move slowly so the wasps won't get in."
The yellow oilcloth was slightly translucent, and one could clearly see a wasp resting on it.
The bee's tail, which contains a poisonous sting, twitches and is ready to sting someone at any time.
Ye Chutang grabbed Aunt Xu's arm.
"Auntie, let Azhou go. He is good at martial arts."
She made this decision not to let Qi Yanzhou take risks.
But these hornets come in strange ways, so we have to be on guard.
Hiding under a tarp may protect you from wasps, but not from other dangers.
Qi Yanzhou understood what Ye Chutang meant and nodded.
"Don't come out unless I call you."
Ye Chutang quickly reminded him, "There is a piece of oilcloth on the cart. Wasps are afraid of smoke. Soak the grass for the donkey in water and light it."
"I know. You have to be careful too."
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he quickly got out of the oilcloth.
Then he quickly tucked in the corners of the oilcloth to prevent any wasps from getting in.
The conversation between the two made Mr. Qi realize that something was wrong.
He asked worriedly, "Tang'er, is the wasp man-made?"
Ye Chutang was not sure and shook his head.
"Dad, I don't know, but it's possible."
After saying that, she placed her hands on the grass to sense the location of everyone.
The footsteps were mixed and chaotic, and everyone was running desperately.
From time to time, you can hear the sound of "splash" falling into the water.
Someone must have been stung by a wasp and couldn't stand it, so he jumped into the lake to avoid it.
The cries and shouts came one after another, covering up the sound of the approaching danger.
Aunt Xu was so nervous that she was sweating all over, and she had to hold back her tears.
She prayed sincerely, "I hope nothing happens to the Second Young Master and He'er!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chutang smelled the smoke produced by the incomplete burning of wet grass.
Just as she was about to lead the three of them to move closer to the thick smoke, Qi Yanzhou yelled, "Atang, get down!"
When the voice sounded, Ye Chutang's body reacted faster than his brain and he quickly threw the three people to the ground.
"call out!"
A very light sound of breaking through the air flew past my head.
It's not an arrow, but a short and small hidden blade.
Ye Chutang knew that hiding under the oilcloth would only lead to passively receiving a beating.
"Mom and Dad, hide well. I'll go out and help Ah Zhou."
Aunt Xu was worried that something might happen to Ye Chutang, and instinctively wanted to hold her back.
As soon as he touched the corner of her clothes, he disappeared.
Yes, disappear!
She thought she might be dazzled and rubbed her eyes hard.
The more I rub my eyes, the more blurry they become.
When Mrs. Qi saw that Aunt Xu had rubbed her eyes until they were bloodshot, she immediately grabbed her arm and asked, "Mrs. Xu, what's wrong with your eyes?"
"Madam, I just seemed to see..."
Aunt Xu said halfway and didn't dare to continue.
Because no one would believe her.
Moreover, after she was knocked down by Ye Chutang, her head hit the ground and she felt dizzy.
Maybe I saw it wrong.
Perhaps it was because the lady’s martial arts skills were so high that she seemed to disappear at such a fast speed.
Madam Qi didn't hear the rest of the story, so she asked, "Xu, what did you see?"
Aunt Xu said, "I didn't expect Madam's martial arts skills to be so high that she escaped from the oilcloth in no time."
Old Madam Qi didn't expect that Aunt Xu had been holding it in for so long and would only say such nonsense.
She had no idea how good Ye Chutang's martial arts were.
But she had shown some of her skills before when she taught Luo Rou a lesson in Prince Chen's Mansion, and it seemed that her martial arts skills were quite strong.
"Let's hide and not cause trouble for the children."
Aunt Xu knew that she would not be able to help even if she rushed out, so she nodded.
After Ye Chutang teleported out from the oilcloth, he came to the burning wet hay and stood downwind.
She held her breath, closed her eyes, and let the smoke drift toward her body.
Qi Yanzhou was extremely worried when he saw Ye Chutang getting out of the oilcloth regardless of the danger.
He waved away the poisonous arrows shot at him and used smoking grass to drive away the hornets.
"Atang, the enemy is in the east, quickly hide behind the tree, and leave the rest to me."
His men have been following secretly and will be here soon.
Ye Chutang was about to respond when he sensed danger.
She quickly moved away from the smoke.
Three darts flew past her eyes and accidentally hit an officer.
Ye Chutang quickly hid behind a big tree.
Then I saw a terrifying scene that looked like the end of the world.
Wasps are like locusts passing through, covering the sky and the sun, chasing people and stinging them.
The buzzing sound of flapping wings was everywhere, making people feel chest tightness and heartbeat faster.
Those who don't know martial arts will be stung and roll on the ground, screaming shrilly.
Those who know martial arts will flee madly when being chased, but they cannot avoid being stung.
The smarter ones jumped into the lake and held their breath to avoid the hornets.
"Get in the water!"
As soon as Wu Cheng finished shouting, he jumped into the lake.
He had been escorting exiles for more than ten years, and this was the first time he encountered such a terrifying swarm of hornets.
If you say it wasn't man-made, he would never believe it.
"puff!"
Old Madam Ye, who was closest to Ye Chutang, suddenly vomited blood and fainted.
Seeing this scene, her face changed slightly.
Resonance at the same frequency!
When the buzzing sound and the rhythm of the heartbeat reach the same frequency resonance, the heart will rupture and the person will die.
No wonder her heart beat faster when she heard the buzzing sound.
In other words, someone is controlling the hornets!
"Everyone, cover your ears!"
Although Ye Chutang's internal strength was shallow, his shout was enough to let everyone know.
She squatted down, put her hands on the ground, and tried to find the person who was controlling the wasp.
But he did not sense any person standing still on the ground.
That man is in the tree!
When Ye Chutang arrived at the small lake, he observed the surrounding environment.
There is a towering tree to the northwest and a hill to the east.
If the person controlling the wasp stands in these two places, he can have a panoramic view of the scene by the lake.
How can I avoid everyone's sight and go underground to find someone?
While Ye Chutang was thinking, the people from the Qi family immediately covered their ears with their hands.
Qi Yanzhou knew clearly that the wasp that was chasing and stinging him was problematic, but he couldn't turn a deaf ear to it.
Because compared to hornets, hidden arrows are more harmful.
Although the people who attacked this time were mainly targeting him, they also attacked others indiscriminately.
There's a madness to keep everyone here.
This is not very like what an emperor would do.
Qi Yanzhou didn't have time to think about it, as another wave of hornets attacked and the hay in his hand was about to burn out.
At the same time, two men in black ran towards the big tree where Ye Chutang was.
The hornets automatically avoided the man in black, it was obvious that they were enemies, not friends!
"Atang, be careful!"
Ye Chutang had already used his special ability to sense someone approaching.
When Qi Yanzhou reminded her, she quickly said, "Azhou, don't worry about me. This is a feint to the east and attack in the west. Be careful in the southwest."
Qi Yanzhou wanted to protect Ye Chutang, but the hornet had already arrived.
If he went over, it would put her in greater danger.
"Okay, protect yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an iron ball with barbs came towards him and a sleeve arrow also shot towards him.
The two men in black who attacked Ye Chutang suddenly changed direction and headed towards Qi Yanzhou.
Seeing this, Ye Chutang wrapped the two men's feet with soil, took out an anesthetic needle from the space, and shot them.
When the two men in black fell to the ground, she quickly took away the empty anesthetic needle.
Qi Yanzhou not only dodged the hidden arrow, but also used his sword to entangle the iron chain that controlled the iron ball.
But the hand holding the sword was stung several times by a wasp.
He pulled the chain hard, and the chain straightened and broke under the strong pull.
At this time, Nan Xiao came with his men.
They did not want to reveal their identities, so they also wore black clothes and covered their faces with black scarves.
Because they knew the situation by the lake in advance, their clothes were fumigated with thick smoke so that the hornets could not get close.
If Ye Chutang hadn't recognized Nan Xiao, he would have attacked them.
Seeing that Qi Yanzhou had help, she said, "Azhou, I'm going to find my third brother."
After saying that, he used his light Kung Fu to quickly enter the woods.
Once she entered the dense woods, she could "disappear."
Before Qi Yanzhou could say anything to stop her, Ye Chutang disappeared.
He wanted to chase after it, but the wasp followed him closely.
Seeing this, Nan Xiao threw a smoke-stained nightgown to Qi Yanzhou.
Qi Yanzhou caught it immediately and put it on while chasing after Ye Chutang.
He was confident in his agility and tracking abilities and thought he would be able to catch up with the person soon.
As a result, Ye Chutang seemed to have disappeared without leaving any trace.
"Atang, where are you?"
The sound, which carried the inner strength, spread over a radius of five miles.
Ye Chutang, who had already arrived under the giant tree, heard Qi Yanzhou's words, but had no way to answer her.
Otherwise she couldn't explain why she appeared a mile away in the blink of an eye.
She raised her hand and looked up, but saw no one.
In other words, the person controlling the hornets is on the hill to the east.
Ye Chutang teleported to the top of the hill.
There were so many trees that she couldn't tell which one the bee controller was on.
But she immediately thought of a solution.
To control a wasp, you can either use smell or audio.
This place is about two miles away from the lake, and it is very difficult to control it by smell.
Low-frequency sounds are inaudible to the human ear.
She flashed into the space and quickly found the audio measuring instrument.
Ye Chutang immediately came out of the space and found the person who controlled the hornet in a moment.
She did not rush forward directly, but instead manipulated her supernatural powers to allow the soil to spread silently up along the tree trunk, weaving into a net.
receive!
The person controlling the hornet was instantly entangled in the loess web, his mouth was sealed, and then he fell to the ground.
The bone whistle he was playing also fell.
Ye Chutang teleported over and picked up the specially made bone whistle on the ground.
She looked down at the rugged bearded face on the ground.
The man looked at the yellow earth on his body that seemed to be flowing, his eyes filled with horror.
He thought Ye Chutang was a monster and didn't dare to look at her. His body struggled violently.
The dirt net that bound him was getting tighter and tighter.
The skin felt painfully cut and blood soaked the black clothes.
"When you controlled the wasp to kill people just now, weren't you very capable? Why are you scared now?"
The man listened to Ye Chutang's mocking voice and thought to himself, "How can I not be afraid if I meet someone who uses witchcraft?"
But he wouldn't say that.
Ye Chutang lifted the man's chin with her toes.
"Northern Barbarian, why are you here? And why are you killing the people of the Qi family?"
After asking, she unsealed the man's mouth.
The man knew that he could not escape death.
He gathered his inner strength and tried to warn his companions to escape quickly.
As a result, Ye Chutang noticed his intention and sealed his mouth again.
Ye Chutang suddenly realized that the beard on the man's face was fake.
Tear it off.
The fake beard was stuck too tightly and it tore off some of the skin on his face, causing blood to flow.
"Your skin is very delicate and white, which means you haven't been exposed to the fierce winds of the northern barbarians for many years."
As she said this, she threw her beard to the ground.
"I guess you are a Northern Barbarian spy who has been hiding in the capital for many years, but why did you suddenly expose yourself?"
Every country will plant spies in other countries to gather intelligence.
But generally it won’t take long before they are discovered and killed.
There are very few people who can hide for so many years, and they will not expose themselves unless they are forced to do so.
The man's body trembled violently with pain, and his blood dyed the green grass on the ground red.
He wanted to crush the poison between his teeth.
Ye Chutang put her toes against the man's chin and noticed his movements.
She grabbed the man's jaw and removed his jaw.
"Want to die? Don't worry, just ask for the answer I want, and I will grant your wish."
After saying that, she took out a silver needle from the space and stabbed it into the man's painful point.
The man's eyes widened in pain and veins bulged on his face.
Ye Chutang took this opportunity to blind one of his eyes.
And stuff mud in the man's mouth.
The mud kept piling up and squeezing out all his teeth.
"I have many ways of torturing people. If you speak up sooner, you will suffer less."
Although the man was in unbearable pain, he never thought of betraying anyone.
A qualified spy needs to endure various tortures and never speak a word before being sent out to carry out a mission.
Therefore, even if he lost his life, he would not say a word!
Ye Chutang looked at the man with his eyes closed and knew that torture would not be of much use to him.
Then use truth serum.
She loosened the dirt net that was tightly wrapped around the man and closed his jaw.
He also moved some of the dirt out of his mouth to make it easier for him to answer.
Ye Chutang made preparations, took out the injection from the space, and injected it into the man's neck.
The transparent liquid in the syringe gradually decreased, and the man's body relaxed.
I felt sleepy and my consciousness was gradually drained away.
He wanted to open his eyes and speak, but he had no strength at all.
Ye Chutang used his thumb and index finger to pry open the man's uninjured eye.
Seeing that his eyes were unfocused, I knew the truth serum had taken effect.
She asked bluntly, "How many accomplices do you have?"
The man's lips moved, but he didn't say a word.
His dilated pupils trembled slightly, apparently trying to fight the effect of the truth serum.
"As expected of a spy, you have a strong will."
After saying that, Ye Chutang stretched out his index finger and placed it in front of the man's eye.
"Look at my fingers carefully."
The instruction involved no secrets the man wished to keep, and he obeyed immediately.
His eyes followed Ye Chutang's movement from side to side, and the struggle in his eyes quickly disappeared.
Ye Chutang withdrew his fingers with satisfaction.
It is hard to find someone in the entire Beichen Kingdom who can withstand the combination of truth serum and hypnosis!
"Tell me, how many people came this time to deal with the Qi family?"
The man immediately said, "Sixteen."
"How many Northern Barbarian spies are there in the capital?"
"there is none left."
In order to kill the Qi family, all the Northern Barbarians' spies were dispatched.
I thought that as long as the officials didn't help the Qi family, everything would be safe, but I didn't expect it to fail.
"Any helpers?"
"have no idea."
Ye Chutang asked again: "Why did you expose yourself to kill the Qi family?"
"Because the Qi family army once killed the king of the Northern Barbarians, forcing them to cede the city and surrender."
This happened during Qi Yanzhou's great-grandfather's generation.
It is also the greatest shame for the Northern Barbarians. Only by taking back the city and killing all the members of the Qi family can they regain their glory!
Now that the opportunity has come, the man will naturally not let it go.
"Who gave you the news that the exile team would stop here?"
"Around noon yesterday, I learned that the exile team would stop here."
When the man got the news, he suspected it might be a fraud.
But the opportunity was rare, so he chose to take a risk and come here to make arrangements in advance.
If the disappearance was fake and was a trick by the emperor to lure the enemy, he could also use the hornets to escape unscathed.
If the news is true, then he will avenge the Northern Barbarian Kingdom!
Ye Chutang knew clearly that the news was released by the emperor.
He wants to kill someone by borrowing a knife.
After all, there are many people who want to destroy the Qi family.
But the emperor didn't know who would take action, so he didn't dare to cooperate actively, for fear that someone would catch him trying to harm the Qi family.
Fortunately, he was a coward, and fortunately, the northern barbarians wanted to kill everyone.
Otherwise, if the two parties cooperated to deal with the Qi family, she would have to use the name of "Ghost Thief" to escape and spend countless merit points!
After Ye Chutang felt relieved, he asked the man again.
"Qi Yanzhou is a skilled martial artist. How do you plan to kill him?"
"The Northern Barbarian spies each have their own strengths. I am good at controlling wasps, Hezhe is good at using poison, and Amin is good at using hidden weapons..."
After the man introduced everyone.
“Wasps are fed with poison. The sting of their tails is very toxic. If you are stung too many times and fail to detoxify in time, you will definitely die.
The sound of a hornet's wings vibrating can not only affect a person's mind, but also cause him or her to die suddenly.
The hornets today are carrying poison powder that can induce fire poison. Qi Yanzhou will not survive for a few days. ”
After listening to this, Ye Chutang gave the man a thumbs up.
If she hadn't suppressed Qi Yanzhou's fire poison in advance, he would have been doomed today!
"Where is the antidote?"
"On Hezhe."
In order to prevent companions from being accidentally injured, they would naturally prepare antidotes.
Ye Chutang thought about it and seemed to have nothing else to ask.
So, she carried the bloody man and fled underground to under a towering tree.
Just in case, she erased all traces of her stay.
Qi Yanzhou's shouting continued.
"Atang!"
His voice was hoarse from shouting, and his anxiety was obvious.
Ye Chutang stuffed the bone whistle into the man's hand and ordered, "Call the wasp back and sting yourself."
The man put the bone whistle to his lips.
He played the flute with difficulty as he had no teeth.
The blood soon dyed the bone whistle red, like the call from the underworld.
Soon a swarm of hornets flew over.
She reached out and searched the man's body, but found nothing of value.
When the wasp arrived, Ye Chutang shouted, "Azhou, I'm here."
After shouting, she smeared some of the man's blood on herself.
Then he ran towards Qi Yanzhou.
After hearing Ye Chutang's voice, Qi Yanzhou's tense nerves relaxed for a moment.
He used his Qinggong skills to the fullest and soon met up with Ye Chutang.
Without asking any more questions, he immediately picked up Ye Chutang and moved away from the flying hornet.
Arrived at the lake.
Qi Yanzhou, with a pale face, put Ye Chutang down.
He wanted to touch her face.
As soon as he raised his hand, he fainted.
at this time.
There are no more hornets by the lake, and the sky is clear and the wind is gentle.
The corpses of the hornets formed a thin layer on the ground, revealing the horrific scene that had taken place before.
Nan Xiao and his group had already left when the hornets flew back to the woods.
Many people from the Northern Barbarians were captured, some dead and some injured.
Except for the two elders of the Qi family and Aunt Xu who were hiding under the oilcloth, everyone in the exile team was stung by wasps.
The Dragon Guards were very skilled in martial arts and were not seriously injured.
An escorting official and a concubine from the Zhao family died.
Old Madam Ye is breathing out more than she is breathing in. If she is not treated in time, she will not live long.
The wailing continued, like hell on earth.
Aunt Xu was taking care of Qi Hean who was stung by a wasp, and she was crying with heartache.
"He'er, don't worry. Madam is a great doctor. When she comes back safely, she will detoxify you and give you medicine."
Qi Hean was lying on the ground with his buttocks swollen and his face buried in the ground in shame.
"Mother, there is usually a doctor assigned to the escort officers, so I won't bother you, sister-in-law."
The place where he was stung was too indecent, how could he let a woman see it?
When the danger happened, Qi Hean had just taken off his pants and was about to relieve himself.
A wasp suddenly flew in from the depths of the jungle, hit his bare butt, and stung him several times.
He was so scared that he pulled up his pants and ran away.
Then he saw all the wasps flying towards the lake.
The deeper you go into the woods, the fewer wasps there are.
After discovering this phenomenon, he ran deep into the dense forest and escaped the disaster.
Later, he was found by his second brother who was looking for his second sister-in-law and rescued.
Aunt Xu was so concerned that she became confused and forgot the differences between men and women.
"Mother is wrong. Let Madam detoxify you and let Master apply medicine to you."
After saying that, she looked at the two elders who were taking care of Qi Jingyao and Qi Yunan.
Although Aunt Su and Aunt Gao chose to live separately during exile, the two children are members of the Qi family after all and they cannot be ignored.
Aunt Su and the other three did not know any martial arts or swimming, so they could not jump into the lake to save themselves and were seriously injured.
But there is no danger to life.
The bag full of medicinal herbs was found by the two elders.
But none of them knew any medical skills and could only stare at the bulging bundle.
Old Madam Qi looked around, looking for an official who knew medical skills.
Just then, Qi Yanzhou fainted and was caught by Ye Chutang, who was covered in blood.
