After taking care of the injuries on Tang Yin's body, Su Yelei heaved a sigh of relief. She picked up the crossbow that was placed to the side and lowered her head to carefully examine it. Then, she placed it before her nose and sniffed. She muttered, "The arrow is extremely poisonous."
"En!" Tang Yin, who was half-lying on the bed, replied: "It's poison, the poison's name is' Blood Seal Throat '. This kind of poison can cause people to constantly bleed even after being injured, until they die from excessive loss of blood.
"What a cruel poison." Su Yelei said softly as she looked at the black arrowhead of the crossbow.
Ren Xiao laughed and said: "It should be considered a brilliant move. First it was the crossbow arrows that were fed with poison, then it was followed by the explosion with hidden gunpowder. It could be said to be a double insurance, making it impossible to guard against. "
"If I didn't break through, then the odds are against me this time." Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said.
Su Yelei put the crossbow arrows into the tray, and said while walking out: "The generals are waiting outside, I'll go inform them first, so as to prevent them from getting anxious."
Tang Yin nodded and smiled at her gratefully, saying: "Yelei, thank you."
Su Yelei only raised the corner of her mouth, and without saying anything further, she walked out of the camp.
Ah San and the rest were already impatient outside, they were anxious like ants on a hot pan, walking back and forth in front of the camp impatiently.
Seeing Su Yelei come out, everyone's eyes lit up. They swarmed forward like a swarm of bees and asked at once, "Medical Officer Su, how is the King? Are your injuries serious? "Is there any danger ?"
Hearing everyone's questions, Su Yelei raised her hand to stop them, and then calmly said from behind: "The King only suffered a small wound, and now that the wound has been treated, it's fine. Everyone can calm down and rest."
When she said that, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, they revealed happy expressions, and no longer bothered with Su Yelei, and rushed back into the camp. Su Yelei immediately raised her hand, and called out: "The King is not dressed yet, you all can't go in yet ?"
Her voice became softer and softer, because no one was listening to her. She smiled wryly, shook his head slowly, and left with the tray. Tang Yin was fine now, what she needed to do was to investigate the effects of the poison. In the future, if he met it again, he would have to prepare for an emergency.
In the tent, Ah San, Cheng Jin, Yin Lan, Liu Zhang and the rest all rushed to the bed. Although Tang Yin's face was pale, he was glowing.
Cheng Jin said in a serious tone: "Great King, this subordinate had already carefully searched the ruins of the palace, but strangely, I only found a corpse."
Tang Yin blinked his eyes, and continued: "It's the village chief's corpse right?"
Cheng Jin was startled, he asked in confusion, "How does the King know?"
This could not have been done by an outsider, it had to be caused by someone inside. The village head would not dare to do so, since he was the village head, and every single move he made was related to the lives of the entire village, so it was only the Witch who was the most suspicious.
Tang Yin was too lazy to explain so he asked Cheng Jin: "What do you plan to do?"
Cheng Jin said in a serious tone: "The King is right, the corpse is indeed the village head's, but the Witch who was in the great hall disappeared without a trace. This subordinate checked carefully, and found out that the inside of the mountain god statue was empty, and there is a secret passage below, this subordinate speculates that the Witch must have escaped through the secret passage before the explosives exploded, this subordinate has already sent people to investigate, and I believe it won't be long before news returns."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head, and said faintly: "A mere village nun, how could there be explosives, this is something that definitely cannot be done by her alone, she definitely has allies!"
"Yes, your subordinate thinks so too." Your subordinate has already told Ceng Die to investigate the servants and villagers, and to ensure that the thief's accomplices are found out as well. " Cheng Jin replied.
Tang Yin facepalmed, it was impossible for the village girl to get the explosives, could the other villagers do it? The possibility that Witch's accomplices were villagers was very slim. His eyes became serious as he muttered, "Who in the world is behind this ?"
Cheng Jin lowered his head in silence. Yin Lan continued: "Great King, it could be anyone."
Yeah, anyone! Tang Yin sighed in his heart, he had too many enemies, maybe it was someone from the People of Huan Country, maybe it was someone from there, maybe it was someone from the Feng Clan.
Seeing Tang Yin lost in thought, Yin Lan continued, "However, my King, do not worry, as long as you capture that Witch, all the questions will be easily answered."
Tang Yin nodded his head and said to Yin Lan: "You should go and assist Dark Arrow and search for him with our brother." His meaning behind his words was to borrow the shadow to investigate the location of the Witch.
Of course Yin Lan understood what he meant, she cupped her hands and replied: "Yes, my King!" With that said, she turned and walked out, and Cheng Jin immediately followed.
At this time, Liu Zhang finally got the chance to speak, and said with a deep voice: "The assassination attempt this time, was obviously premeditated. The person who invited the Great King to pay her respects to the Mountain God was also highly suspicious."
Liu Zhang's words reminded Tang Yin, he thought that he was right, and felt a headache. What exactly did he do that was unforgivable, why was it that so many people wanted him dead one after another?
He slowly closed his eyes and said, "This matter will be handled by you. Try not to involve too many people, and don't cause too much of a commotion." This was not a glorious matter, Tang Yin had to consider his own face as well.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This general knows what to do." Liu Zhang cupped his hands in acknowledgement, then turned to Bai An, Yan Yan, Xu You and Xiong Gu and quickly left.
A celebratory ceremony to pay respects to the mountain god, yet it turned out to be such a situation. Tang Yin's mood was also rather low and irritable. He hastily sent down an order, sealing the Mountain God Temple of the Goose Feather Mountain and then reverently returned to the Fenshui City.
The news came back one day later.
After a strict interrogation, Wu Qian explained to him that the reason he invited Feng King to the Goose Feather Mountain was because the village head had come to look for him first. Using the recent ghost and spirit infestation as an excuse, he invited the Feng King to pay her respects to the Mountain God, to eliminate the ghost, and to calm the hearts of the people.
Wu Qian felt that the Village Chief's words were reasonable, so he took the initiative to ask Tang Yin out.
On the other side, the villagers of Goose Feather Village also confirmed Wu Qian's words. The village head had indeed gone to find Wu Qian, and he was indeed very excited about the arrival of Feng King. However, the villagers all thought it was impossible that the village head was plotting to assassinate him.
The village chief and the Feng King had no enmity with each other, and he was very happy that the Feng Army had taken over the Fenshui City. He thought that it was a joyous occasion to reunite the split Mo Country again, so how could he possibly plot to assassinate the Feng King?
Besides, if the Village Chief really was an assassin, how could he be involved? How could there be such a stupid assassin in this world?
In the end, it was as if Wu Qian and the Goose Feather Village's villagers were innocent, the final blame could only be placed on the mysterious Witch.
Another day passed and Yin Lan finally returned with good news. The Umbra had already discovered the whereabouts of the Witch and she did not run away. Instead, she had hidden herself within the city.
Who would have thought that she would be so bold as to hide right under Tang Yin's nose? Tang Yin handed over the address that Yin Lan brought back to Cheng Jin and told him to lead the Dark Arrow's brothers to capture Witch.
Long story short. Witch's spirit power was not weak, even at night, under the encirclement of many Hidden Arrow Crew, she still injured five people, which was why she was taken down by Cheng Jin and the rest.
After being captured, the Witch didn't say a word, and Cheng Jin wasn't in a hurry to interrogate her either.
Right now, Tang Yin was injured. In the main hall of the Mayor Palace, he was lying on the bed, while Yin Lan stood at the side like a little Maidservant, holding a fan and fanning Tang Yin.
After Witch was brought to the great hall by Cheng Jin, he looked up angrily at Tang Yin, then raised his chin, and stopped kneeling. Seeing that, Yin Lan giggled, and said in a low voice: "King, this thief is full of tough bones."
Tang Yin smiled lightly, and said leisurely: "People often say that the most dangerous place is the safest place. If you believe these kinds of nonsense, you would be wrong, because the most dangerous place is still the most dangerous place, and there is a 90% chance that it will become your burial ground."
"Pu!" Yin Lan, who was kneeling at the side, almost laughed out loud again.
Witch remained unmoved as she continued to glare angrily at Tang Yin with his two big eyes.
"You and I have a grudge?" Tang Yin restrained his smile and asked curiously.
"Yes sir!" Witch said coldly: "My only family member died in Shangwan."
Tang Yin's eyes revealed a puzzled look. What does that have to do with him?
Without waiting for him to ask, Witch gritted her teeth and said, "When the Feng Army invaded the Shangwan. At that time, he was only sixteen years old. " When she spoke, her eyes were practically spitting fire, flames of hatred.
Tang Yin was silent. Fighting was inevitable, and on the battlefield, no one would bother to determine if their opponent was a half child or an adult. Hesitating for a moment was tantamount to committing suicide.
"So, you want to kill me."
"Yes sir!"
"However, you failed to kill me. Instead, you caused the death of the innocent Village Chief." Tang Yin laughed bitterly.
"None of the people in Feather Village are innocent. They deserve to die." Her beautiful white face became dark and distorted. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked extremely frightening.
It was unknown if Yin Lan was truly shocked by her appearance or if she was just pretending, but she subconsciously moved closer to Tang Yin's side.
Tang Yin patted her jade back, and then looked at Witch, in silence. Through the Dark Arrow's investigation, Tang Yin had a rough understanding of the customs in Goose Feather Village.
What is the Witch? Normally, she was a noble and respected person, but during the God's Sacrifice Rites, the Witch and all of the village's grown men would have to meet. The other villagers would also have to watch from the side, and the whole process would be considered sacred, which was the tradition of the Goose Feather Village.0
Tang Yin was unable to comprehend this tradition, and furthermore, was unable to comprehend the relationship between this kind of promiscuous relationship and the Sacrificial God. If one were to look at it from the perspective of the Witch, he would also sympathize with her, however, this did not mean that he could forgive her for everything she had done.
