Chapter 450: They were still too easy to get away with.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere was broken in the next second.
Because they had already set off towards the palace.
The fifteen men quickly took care of the guards one by one.
Fang Xiaoxiao looked around and divided the group into two groups: one group went to the right to search for the whereabouts of the princess of the Western Regions, and the other group went to the left.
She and Pei Yan then quietly sneaked into the dark palace hall.
Come to the hall.
An unbearable stench assaulted the nostrils.
Fang Xiaoxiao frowned and muttered to herself.
"This place stinks so badly, it's like there are countless stinky socks here that haven't been washed for weeks."
"yue~~~"
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan became alert and quickly scanned his surroundings.
Because it was too dark, there were only a few candles in the palace, and the entire hall could not be seen clearly.
But his martial arts senses told him that there were at least ten familiar faces in the area.
Just in time.
A series of loud shouts broke the silence.
Inside the hall, the people who were already drunk were suddenly awakened.
"Who is it? Grab your weapons! Someone has broken into the mountain stronghold!"
The bandits all got up and began searching for their weapons in the dark.
Unfortunately, the hall was too dark, causing people to bump into each other and curse.
"Damn it, where are you touching? Why are you touching my butt? Get out of here!"
"Who the hell is it? Who the hell is tearing my balls apart?!"
"Damn it, you dare step on my foot? I'll kill you!"
Just as these people were blaming each other and about to fight, a deep, hoarse voice broke the noise.
"All of you shut up and go light the candles."
At this person's command, the once pitch-black hall instantly became bright.
Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan had already found a secluded corner to hide in.
Of course, Fang Xiaoxiao had already scattered the poison around her after she noticed someone in the hall.
It's estimated that the medicine will take effect in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
In the main hall, Zhong Zicheng sat on a large tiger chair with a furrowed brow, his sharp eyes constantly scanning his subordinates.
These good-for-nothings are still tidying their clothes.
Seeing this, he almost vomited blood from anger.
After taking a deep breath, he spoke sternly.
"What exactly happened? Who attacked the mountain stronghold?"
The messenger knelt on one knee and reported everything that had happened in the mountain stronghold to the general before him.
"Reporting to General Zhong, it is a group of soldiers, about two or three thousand in number. They are gathered in front of the mountain gate and are shouting that we should release the princess of the Western Regions Kingdom, otherwise they will attack the mountain stronghold."
After hearing his subordinate's words, Zhong Zicheng, who had been worried, suddenly burst into laughter.
He slapped the armrest and said disdainfully.
"A bunch of useless trash! I thought it was someone important, but it turns out to be just a bunch of mediocre soldiers. A mere two or three thousand men, what are you afraid of!"
“Our stronghold has the advantage of favorable timing and location, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the imperial court sends tens of thousands of troops, it will not be able to conquer it overnight.”
"Get out of here right now, and tell those soldiers that I am Zhong Zicheng, the deputy general of General Wang Weiguo's army. Tell them to go back, or I'll start a massacre."
The other party nodded in agreement and quickly ran towards the gate.
Since his own general had said so, as Little Karami, he should naturally report the truth.
At this moment.
Zhong Zicheng's subordinates all started to clamor.
"General, why don't you let us go out of the city to fight? For the past few days, we've been hiding here and there, and the brothers are itching for a fight."
"While these good-for-nothings are making a racket, let's deliver a fatal blow. This will not only satisfy the brothers' itching for a fight, but also intimidate the surrounding counties and let them know that our mountain stronghold is not to be trifled with!"
"That's right, General! We brothers don't want to live a mediocre life!"
"General, please allow us to leave the city and meet the enemy in battle."
He listened to his subordinates shouting and complaining.
Zhong Zicheng also knew that these warriors who had lived by the sword would feel extremely uncomfortable all over their bodies, as if they were being bitten by ants, if they didn't slaughter cities or fight on the front lines for a long time.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the villagers from the city to their mountain strongholds to slaughter and amuse themselves.
Think about this.
He slapped his thigh, stood up, waved his hand, and grinned wickedly.
"Alright, let's go out and fight them today, and crush these trash."
"General, you are mighty! We will certainly do our utmost!"
"General, you are mighty!"
Amidst the constant praise, Zhong Zicheng felt somewhat elated.
But just as he was about to lead everyone out of the hall, he found his brothers suddenly collapsing to the ground, convulsing.
Everyone rolled around on the ground, wailing and even foaming at the mouth, their eyes rolling back.
Before he could even figure out what was going on, some people rolled their eyes, kicked their feet, and passed away.
"What, what exactly is going on?!"
Zhong Zicheng pointed at most of his dead brothers and roared.
However, no one answered his question; instead, more and more people died, until finally he was the only one left.
But he was really not feeling well right now. His whole body felt like it had been drained of all its strength, and he just lay there stiffly on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he, like his brothers, began to convulse, and white foam spilled from the corners of his mouth.
"Hahaha, Pei Yan, look! This is what happens after being poisoned. Isn't my poison amazing? Just a small bottle like this can easily kill dozens of adults."
"..."
Pei Yan watched the horrific scene with a forced smile, his mind constantly reminding him: never mess with your wife, or you won't even know how you died.
Lying on the ground, barely clinging to life, Zhong Zicheng realized what was happening when he saw a man and a woman appear before him. Even the most slow-witted person would have realized it by now.
It turns out that everything was the work of this woman.
Zhong Zicheng pointed at Fang Xiaoxiao with a resentful finger.
"Yes, it's you, Fang... Fang Xiaoxiao."
Fang Xiaoxiao, whose name was called, instinctively squatted down and nodded.
"That's right, it's me. It's been a long time, General."
She looked at the scarred man from the Suzhou garrison outside the city who had almost taken Li Wan'er away and humiliated her, and couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.
"Hey, why did you have to be so suicidal? The fact that the plague virus didn't take your lives is too good for you guys."
"Pfft!"
Zhong Zicheng was so angry at her words that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then, unable to catch his breath, he just kicked the bucket.
Zhong Zicheng, the once arrogant and domineering deputy general of the Wang family army who took pleasure in cannibalism and massacring cities, thus inexplicably and hastily ended his sinful life.
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the dozen or so corpses scattered on the ground and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
"It's too easy on those demons. Next time I'll have to create a poison that makes death extremely painful. Otherwise, I'll feel a little uneasy letting them die like this."
