Chapter 427 Poisonous Fight
"This is insect repellent; you two can go first." Yan Yu frowned.
"This thing doesn't belong to Dasheng, and the person who hid it probably doesn't belong to Dasheng either. It's extremely troublesome!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shi'an immediately urged, "Zhiqing, hurry up and go, don't worry about us."

“You go too!” Yan Yu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and left the horse's back.

"Me too? How will you manage by yourself?" Lin Shi'an pulled on the reins, his face full of anxiety.

"One person is enough. Your presence only distracts me. Go away, go away." Yan Yu, dressed in fiery red, spoke with obvious disdain.

Lin Shi'an frowned, and was about to speak when Lu Huai stopped him.

"Brother Shi'an, the road ahead will likely be even more difficult, but he'll be fine." Lu Huai handed the small bottle containing the medicinal powder to Lin Zhiqing.

"Let's go first, otherwise Brother Yan will be held back."

Lin Shi'an didn't move, but turned his gaze to Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Cousin, I believe Yan Yu."

Seeing Lin Zhiqing nod, Lin Shi'an then grabbed the reins and turned the car around.

Yan Yu wiggled his fingers:
"I haven't seen anyone from outside Dasheng for so many years. Interesting."

“Jiang Yunhe is incredibly audacious to have summoned you scum.”

"Heh, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

After saying this, he took out a snow-white handkerchief, wiped the dagger clean, and then cut his palm.

Blood droplets spurted out one after another, and Yan Yu clenched his fist and faced down.

The blood droplet fell to the ground instantly, spreading a fishy smell, and the insects made excited noises.

A nearby venomous snake coiled up and greedily licked the blood.

But the next moment, the snake's long body twitched, and it became still instantly.

It had clearly lost all signs of life.

The surrounding insects seemed to sense some danger and scattered instantly.

"Hmph!" Yan Yu stood in the middle and snorted coldly, "Is my blood delicious?"

After saying that, he bit the hilt of the dagger, tore off a piece of his undergarment, and wrapped it around the bleeding hand.

"Da Sheng actually has someone like you? Interesting!" A voice came from the shadows, not from a Da Sheng accent.

Along with it came a deluge of leaves.

Yan Yu frowned, then ripped off his outer robe and flung it in front of him.

The leaves and petals were all blocked, and without their support, they fell to the ground.

"Only bedbugs in the gutter stay cooped up in their shells. Get out here!" Yan Yu pulled out a poisoned needle and threw it without hesitation toward the spot where someone had just spoken.

"clang!"

The broadsword made a piercing sound when it came into contact with the needle.

As the sound faded, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

He was dressed in white and looked like a handsome young man.

Before seeing the small snake coiled around his wrist, perhaps no one would associate him with the poisonous insects that filled the ground.

Upon seeing Yan Yu's face, the man raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming brightly:

"Tsk, I never imagined that Da Sheng would possess such a perfect poison weapon. How can we obtain it?"

"Heh." Yan Yu sneered, "Dare to covet your grandfather?"

"In the next life!"

With that, he threw out the dagger with lightning speed.

The man in white dodged to the side, said no more, and the snake in his hand flicked its tongue and stood up.

Yan Yu narrowed his eyes; this was going to be a fierce battle.

……

"drive!"

The sound of horses' hooves pounding through the mud was exceptionally clear.

After running for about two miles, the horses gradually slowed down.

Lin Shi'an rode forward, looking anxious: "I hope nothing has happened to Yan Yu?"

"He's poisonous," Lin Zhiqing whispered, peeking out.
“Cousin, if we all stay there, we’ll fall into Jiang Liuyun’s trap.” “Yan Yu is unfathomable; only he could have handled that situation.”

Lin Shi'an wasn't unaware of this principle; he nodded and looked ahead.

"I never expected the Jiang family to have such methods."

"After all, he is a marquis. Jiang Yunhe has been working in the court for so long, he couldn't possibly be without a backup plan."

“We acted extremely quickly, seizing the initiative and getting him directly imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice prison, thus losing some of the opportunity to plan.”

"Although Jiang Liuyun is in charge now, there must be many hidden connections or weapons that Jiang Yunhe prepared in advance."

"This cannot be taken lightly."

At this point, Lin Zhiqing looked at Lu Huai:

"Any unusual activity at the main camp outside Beijing?"

Lu Huai shook his head: "Yun Feng has been watching from the other end the whole time, there's no problem."

"No problem?" Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly.

This shouldn't be the case.

The only thing the Marquis of Zhenyuan could rely on to contend with the imperial court was his military power.

Although his nominal military power had been taken back by the imperial court, Lin Zhiqing did not believe that they had not cultivated their own power over the years.

But Lin Zhiqing couldn't figure it out for the time being. She looked at the road ahead and felt a chill in her body.

"Ah Qing, let's keep going," Lu Huai said softly.

Lin Zhiqing nodded.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves rang out again.

The three figures quickly passed by the houses in a village.

Lin Zhiqing saw a well.

That was the key point of the formation she set up using the golden ratio and hypnosis when she plotted against Liu Mang.

Just as Lin Zhiqing was reminiscing, Lu Huai and Lin Shi'an simultaneously pulled on the reins and stopped.

The horses seemed somewhat restless, pacing back and forth.

Lin Shi'an blocked Lu Huai and the others' path and said in a deep voice:

"This place is unusual; it's too quiet."

Not bad.

This area is residential.

When Lin Zhiqing plotted against Liu Mang, he took advantage of the fact that everyone was at the entrance of the market watching the excitement, so he chose a time when no one was around to set the trap.

Furthermore, Liu Mang had not yet revealed his true colors at that time and would not easily take action against the innocent people around him.

But now... Jiang Yunhe is already a desperate fugitive, and since Jiang Liuyun has decided to save Jiang Yunhe, he certainly won't care too much.

Lin Zhiqing also felt that it was too quiet here, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart:

"Cousin, hurry down and check if anything's wrong with the people around here?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shi'an dismounted and entered the nearest house.

Soon, he reappeared, his expression grim.

He shook his head at Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing gritted her teeth and closed her eyes: "How could they be so heartless?"

Lin Shi'an took a deep breath and, without stopping, immediately began searching the other houses.

After opening which door and finding which corpse, he could no longer control his anger and slammed his fist into the ground.

Undeterred, he climbed out the window and pushed open the next door.

"call out!"

Lin Shi'an's pupils contracted; there was an ambush!
The sound came too fast and too suddenly; he could only instinctively dodge to the side.

"hiss!"

It's still too slow.

Lin Shi'an glanced at the bloody gash on his arm, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.
