On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1662: 3 pierced, 1 dead

Yan Ruyu called Yinding and Linlang, and asked Song Ping to arrange a few people and get ready to go.

She changed into tight clothes, sat in the front hall, closed her eyes and rested, exuding a murderous aura.

Yinding and his men were waiting at the bottom of the stairs, without a sound.

Just waiting for news from the shopkeeper.

About a quarter of an hour later, news arrived.

"Report, Princess, that group of people have already left the medicine shop with the medicinal herbs!"

"Report, Princess, they have left the west city gate!"

Yan Ruyu opened her eyes, filled with coldness.

"Set off."

At the command, he led the team and headed straight for the west gate.

There were ten people in total escorting the medicinal materials. The original clerk Zhang Mao only brought three people, so including himself, there were only four people in total.

As a result, the shopkeeper here was so enthusiastic that he insisted on arranging a few people for them. Zhang Mao couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.

However, it is impossible to let these six people go with us. At worst, we can just kill them as soon as we leave the city.

They had no intention of killing anyone, but their boss insisted on sending them to death, so they couldn't blame anyone else.

There is a small forest not far from the west gate.

When they reached the edge of the grove, Zhang Mao ordered the carriage to stop.

The leader of Youcheng was called Li Sheng. He asked in confusion, "Why did you stop?"

Zhang Mao smiled slowly: "I saw that you were a little tired, so I wanted to let you take a break."

"How can you be tired when you just left the city? Let's get on the road quickly."

"Yes, we are going to set off," Zhang Mao waved his hand, his face full of viciousness, "but I am sending you to heaven."

Mr. Li did not show a look of fear and terror as he expected, but smiled instead.

"Do you know what my name is?"

"what?"

"Mr. Li," Mr. Li smiled proudly, "I can't die, at least not in your hands."

Zhang Mao was stunned: "What do you mean?"

The person behind him said impatiently: "Why waste time talking to him? Why not just kill him?"

Zhang Mao nodded, and the three people behind him immediately rushed over. Li Sheng took two steps back, and he and the other five people reached out and pulled out steel knives from under the medicine cart.

Zhang Mao sneered: "You're still on guard? Too bad, you're destined to die today!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two sides started fighting.

The sound of weapons clashing was endless.

It has to be said that the three people brought by Zhang Mao are indeed capable. Li Sheng and others are the guards of the Qian family and are a bit inferior.

Before he knew it, Li Sheng's men were stabbed on the shoulder.

Zhang Mao watched the fight calmly from the side: "Mr. Li, huh, if you run into me, I will make you die whether you live or not."

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow flew through the air.

"Swish" it nailed to the cloth bag of medicinal materials beside him.

The arrow came so fast that he had no time to react. He was holding the cloth bag and the arrow pierced the back of his hand, causing blood to ooze out.

Zhang Mao cried out in pain.

Looking up, I saw several fast horses running towards me from a distance. Leading the way was a woman wearing a maroon tight-fitting outfit with silver edges on the collar and cuffs. Her black hair was tied up with a ribbon of the same color. She was riding a tall black horse, looking very heroic.

She had fair skin, slightly raised eyebrows, sharp eyes, two swords slung at her sides, and a murderous aura filled her entire body.

Zhang Mao recognized her at a glance, the Princess of Zhennan!

On her left was a burly little fat man in a moon-white robe. His fat flesh trembled slightly as he rode on a horse, but his posture was upright and steady as a rock. In his hand was a crossbow. The arrow that had not been shot was exactly the same as the one that had hit the back of his hand. His whole body aura was like that of a killing god descended to earth.

On the right is a little girl, wearing a bright blue outfit, with colorful braids tied behind her head, small boots inlaid with gems and with pointed toes, and a scimitar slung at her waist, like a little wolf cub with newly exposed claws.

Looking further back, I saw that several people were carrying weapons and bows, and they all looked very majestic.

When Zhang Mao saw this situation, he thought to himself that something was wrong. He turned around and ran without caring about other people or medicinal materials.

The next moment, the sound of breaking air was heard again, and a crossbow arrow hit his calf.

He fell to the ground and cried out in pain.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Ruyu led her men to the front and surrounded Zhang Mao and others.

Yan Ruyu shouted sternly: "Take down their weapons and remove their jaws!"

At the command, Yinding and Linlang attacked at the same time. With the cooperation of the two, these people were subdued before they even had time to commit suicide.

Yan Ruyu rode her horse around them several times, looking at them carefully.

Judging from his appearance, he is from the Central Plains, not from outside the Great Wall.

She waved her hand, and Yinding and Linlang came forward again, grabbing and pinching the four of them on the face.

No disguise, just the real face.

Yan Ruyu dismounted and gave Linlang a wink. Linlang grabbed Zhang Mao and dragged him into the grove.

Yan Ruyu held the whip in her hand and tapped her palm lightly: "Listen carefully, I will only ask all the questions once. If you don't answer or you are talking nonsense, I will ask you another question."

"Three of us will be pierced through, and one of us will die."

When Zhang Mao heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat before he was even pierced through.

I've heard that the Princess of Zhennan is extraordinary, but isn't this too extraordinary?

How can a woman be like this! She wants to expose someone before they even say anything?

Before he could finish his thought, Linlang grabbed his collar and slapped him several times.

"My princess has spoken to you. Did you hear me? If you did, make a sound!"

Blood was oozing from the corner of Zhang Mao's mouth and his head was buzzing - how could even the maid be like this?

"Speak! Squeak!"

Zhang Mao was still confused. When he heard the urging voice, he subconsciously said, "Squeak."

Yan Ruyu: "..."

Linlang couldn't believe it: "Master, this guy is not a fool, right?"

Yan Ruyu waved her hand and Linlang stepped aside.

"Whose man are you? Who sent someone to cheat me of the medicinal materials?"

"It's the shopkeeper Liang from Shencheng..."

Before she finished her words, Yan Ruyu signaled with her eyes, and Linlang drew out his scimitar, holding it in one hand and taking out the prepared torn towel in the other.

One stabs the knife, the other blocks the mouth.

Zhang Mao: “…”

"Where are the cheated herbs being sent?"

Beads of sweat rolled down Zhang Mao's forehead and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.

Linlang frowned: "Don't want to say it? Okay, then another one."

Zhang Mao whimpered - It’s not that I don’t want to say it, but you’re blocking my mouth, so how can I say it?

Linlang raised her knife and stabbed him again, then she remembered to take the rag out of his mouth.

"explain."

Zhang Mao: "...We will deliver the herbs to an inn in the west of Shencheng."

"Who is the contact person?"

Zhang Mao glanced at Linlang and said quickly, "I don't know. I only know that he was a man wearing a black cloak that covered his head and face so tightly that I couldn't see him."

Yan Ruyu asked again: "Then how did you get the letter and seal from Manager Liang?"

"Don't tell me that Black Cloak gave it to you."

Zhang Mao was about to speak when Yan Ruyu interrupted him.

"Indeed, it really is. I'm not lying."

"Then why did he look for you? There are so many people in Shencheng, and you are ordinary. What is there to attract him?"

Zhang Mao thought to himself that this person's words were really irritating.

"Maybe... it's because I'm familiar with that pharmacy. I worked there as a handyman for two months."

It turned out to be the case.

"Shencheng, is there any epidemic?"
