"Are you from Qi?"
"Yes, we are the guards of the Emperor Qi. We were sent here to carry out a mission. Due to our size and strength, we can only disguise ourselves as hunters."
"Did you make the drug that drives people crazy?"
"No, Pengda went to the mountains to test the medicinal properties. He said that it needs further improvement."
"Who else can make it besides him?"
Bai Zhiyue is worried and wants to confirm again
"He's the only one who knows how to make it. Pengda isn't a guard, he's a pharmacist. We're responsible for protecting him."
"Have you given it to anyone else?"
"I gave it to the eunuchs around Concubine Tao. He and Mrs. Tao arranged it in the palace. Our purpose of coming here is to get rid of Bai Zhiyue."
"Who did Pengda give the formula to, or does anyone know about it?"
"No, he always kept a close eye on the medicine he prepared. No one was allowed to get close to it. Someone once tried to steal his medicine, but he was miserably harmed by the traps and poison he had set. He watched his hand rot away bit by bit, and slowly died in agony. After that, no one dared to steal his medicine anymore."
Very good, just need to get rid of this guy.
She was really afraid that this medicine had leaked out, and then she would be in real trouble.
"Is there an antidote to the madness drug?"
"No, he never liked making antidotes."
I can tell from the first time I hear this guy is not a good person.
"Where is he on the mountain?"
"After climbing over two hills, there's a cliff on the back. There's a natural cave on the cliff. He usually makes medicine there. When testing the medicine, it attracts wild animals. He hides on the cliff and places the medicine to see the results."
"When will you be back?"
"We agreed to be back in three days, so we should be back the night after tomorrow!"
"Do you have any secret rooms or secret passages?"
"Yes, there is a secret passage under the bed that leads to the mountain. If you are discovered, you can escape into the forest from there."
Bai Zhiyue threw the man to the ground, dragged the bed to the middle, stepped on it a few times, and found a wooden board covered with mud bricks.
He took away the mud bricks, picked up the wooden board and jumped down.
I took out the energy storage flashlight and walked forward a little. The space inside was not big, only enough for one person to pass through. There were several bags on the ground, which must have been prepared for escape.
They opened everything and checked it. In addition to the usual dry food and dried meat, there was also a set of clothes, a bow and arrow, a knife and a dagger for each person, and there were several medicine bottles in one of the packages.
Bai Zhiyue remembered what the man had just said. It would be troublesome if he was poisoned, so she didn't dare to turn it over directly. She just scratched it with a knife.
After putting the medicine bottle into the space, she would take it away regardless of whether it was the medicine for her or not.
Bai Zhiyue didn't care about anything else, so she didn't ask. She carried one person in each hand and sent them to the place where the shadow guards were ambushing.
"I'll take these two back with you first. There's a secret passage inside the house with only some items for escape. You can choose two people to go in and see where it leads.
Another pharmaceutical maker has gone to the mountains to test the medicine. I will go in right away. You guys lie in ambush outside the mountain and wait for the signal."
"yes!"
Someone carried the two back to the palace, and two went to check the secret passages. The rest ambushed near the various entrances and exits of the mountains according to her instructions.
Bai Zhiyue entered the forest and felt that no one was following her, so she took out the night vision goggles and the unmanned aerial vehicle from the space to determine the location of the cliff.
We climbed over two hills and finally found it on the back of the third hill. We saw a faint glow of fire in the image transmitted from the aircraft. It must be the fire he had lit.
"Found you"
Knowing that the man was good at making all kinds of poisons and setting traps, Bai Zhiyue first took an antidote that could detoxify most poisons. It was from the laboratory and she also put on a mask.
She was extremely careful all the way to the top of the cliff. Fortunately, she asked a few more questions when she was at the bottom, otherwise there would have been three traps of various kinds, and she almost stepped on one. If she didn't know in advance, it would have been easy to fall into the trap. This person was not an ordinary person.
After destroying all the traps, it was already late when I reached the top of the cliff. I took out a retractable steel wire rope and rappelled it. I shot one end onto a big tree and hooked the other end around my wrist.
Holding the gun in one hand and the remote control to release the rope in the other, he began to descend two meters to the left of the cave entrance.
Arrived at a position parallel to the cliff cave and stopped to rest.
There were even breathing sounds in the cave, but Bai Zhiyue did not relax herself. The moment she swung past, she immediately cut the rope and descended into the space.
As expected, my guess was right. How could such a vigilant person not notice my actions? He must have been prepared long ago, just waiting for the moment I entered the cave.
When Bai Zhiyue entered the space, a sharp arrow shot towards her and a handful of powder sprinkled on her face. Fortunately, she was prepared and dodged quickly enough.
She knew that some poisons could penetrate through the skin once they came into contact with her, and some were directly corrosive, so antidotes were completely useless.
Pengda was somewhat dissatisfied when he saw that the first wave of attacks failed to work. This wave was the most likely to hurt people, but he was actually dodged. He would have no chance to surprise others again.
He frowned, it was indeed still difficult to deal with.
"Come out, I know it's you!"
Bai Zhiyue changed to a gun with a fast continuous shooting speed in the space, and after making sufficient preparations, she rushed out of the space and shot quickly.
Pengda knew that his opponent was difficult to deal with and had many tricks up his sleeve, so after missing the first wave, he retreated inside and used a large rock to shield himself.
He raised the crossbow in his hand and aimed it at the cave entrance. The moment Bai Zhiyue appeared, they both fired at the same time.
However, since no one can predict the other's location, it all depends on who is luckier.
The opponent's crossbow was no match for the gun after all. After a burst of shooting, the opponent was suppressed by force and could not even raise his head after shooting only two crossbow arrows.
Bai Zhiyue also successfully dodged a crossbow arrow that brushed past her and stood steadily in the cave.
Just as he was about to fire another volley, Pengda spoke up.
