The Regent's Koi Princess

two hours later

Four groups of people went quietly and returned without anyone noticing.

That night

The thin moonlight shines through the sparse clouds, sprinkling on the makeshift tent, adding a bit of mystery to the quiet night.

Inside the tent, the flickering candlelight intertwined with the light and shadow of the torches outside, illuminating many resolute faces.

Lin Xi sat on the ground in the middle, with a few broken branches scattered around her. The stick in her hand was quickly sketching a simple combat distribution map on the ground, and every stroke seemed so decisive and precise.

She frowned from time to time, her eyes flashing with wisdom and determination, as if she had taken the entire battle situation into account.

The branches moved with her fingers, and soon, a simple yet detailed battle plan distribution map took shape: the mountains and terrain were cleverly marked, the positions of the enemy and our side were clearly identifiable, and the offensive and defensive routes appeared on the "paper" like living things, foreshadowing an upcoming contest of wits and courage.

All around, Shadow, Fan Wenlan, Ling Xiao and the elites sat in a circle, staring with bated breath, nodding from time to time, communicating in a low voice. The air was filled with tension and anticipation, as if even their breathing was building up momentum for the upcoming battle.

After drawing a simple battle map, Lin Xi looked at everyone with a serious expression: "Three days later, the disciples of Haicang Sect will be divided into two groups. Brother Yi will lead one group to attack from the west, and Shadow will lead another group to attack from the north.

Commander Fan led the Black Hawk Light Cavalry to engage in direct battle with Zhao Shizong from the south.

And this princess!

Hey!

He led the Beggars' Sect disciples to steal Zhao Shizong's food and grass.

Among all of us, I am the only one whose martial arts skills are a little bit lacking, so I just need to use my brain to come up with some suggestions.

It takes real men like you to go into battle and kill the enemies.

When the time comes, Shadow, Commander Fan and my brother, the three of you will go and pretend to challenge us first. However, we will fight once and then retreat, lure them out and disperse them, and then defeat them one by one.

At that time, the treasures made by this princess will be divided into four parts. There is no need to be polite to them. Just throw them directly to the crowd."

Lin Xi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slyly: "We just need to wait and see them perform a battle scene where their limbs are torn apart and they cry for their parents."

Fan Wenlan looked at her and shook his head.

Today he finally understood why his prince regarded her as a treasure, huh!

This little princess with a lot of bad intentions is indeed different from others.

Lin Xi glanced at Fan Wenlan and said jokingly: "Looking at your unyielding look, I can guess with just a flick of my fingers that Commander Fan is plotting against me again!"

Fan Wenlan...

Are you the roundworm in our stomach?

"I dare not. You are the most precious person to the prince. How can we have the courage to do that?"

Lin Xi raised the corner of her mouth, smiling slyly: "You have to hold back your opinions, and the same goes for your prince. I think he is about to get internal injuries from holding back his opinions.

But what else can he do? He has to keep it to himself, because he is blind.

Fan Wenlan...

I can't afford it!

You even dare to scold yourself.

"Oh, right!"

Lin Xi turned his head and looked at Shadow and ordered: "Send a pigeon to your prince and Nanjing to inform them of our plan. If possible, let my eldest brother start with us, so that they will be confused and overwhelmed.

Oh! If only we could capture Zhao Shizong alive, I would make him some poison to taste, and make him impotent for life. With his ugly appearance, it would be useless even if he gave birth to a son.

Just cut him off, it would be best if that old man Zhao Zhoucheng died of anger, so that my Ah Che won’t have to deal with him.”

……

next day

Black Wind Hall

After recuperating for a few days, Rong Qi's injuries were basically healed.

However, when he looked at Long Guzi lying on the bed with his eyesight blind and his limbs disabled, he sighed in his heart.

Everyone knows that the poison developed by Long Guzi is unique in the world and no one can detoxify it. Unexpectedly, the always arrogant poison master would be made into this state by others.

Although Long Guzi's eyes were damaged, he had sharp hearing. Although Rong Qi deliberately slowed down his pace, he was still able to hear it.

"Deputy Hall Master Rong, are you here to see me make fun of you?"

Long Guzi frowned as he “looked” at Rong Qi, and spoke in a sinister tone like a demon from hell: “Even if I am blind and my hands and feet are disabled, so what? As long as I want to do it, I can still continue to develop poisons.

After all, only my eyes and limbs were destroyed. Don't forget, my brain is still there.

Even Zhao Shizong would have to bow and nod to me and be respectful and polite to me when he sees me. "

What I mean is that you, Rong Qi, are nothing.

After Long Guzi finished speaking, Rong Qi did not respond immediately.

Looking down at the motionless Long Guzi, Rong Qi sneered: "What have you become? You are still trying to be a hero in front of this sect master. In the past, the general respected you because you were useful. Now that you have become like this, do you think the general can still take you seriously?

Don't be naive.

Don't you know the general after spending so many years with him? You are useless, and in his eyes you are worse than a dog.

From the moment you were deposed, you were already dead in the general's heart. If the general were here, he would have dealt with you long ago, and would not have allowed you to linger on until now."

Rong Qi's words were too cold and ruthless, and Long Guzi's nerves were tense when he heard them.

Although he spoke with confidence, he knew that Rong Qi was right.

Zhao Shizong has always been a cruel and ruthless person. If he were here, he would have attacked me long ago.

Long Guzi was lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper, his blind eyes staring blankly in the direction of Rong Qi, even though he could not see anything.

But he could still feel that Rong Qi had murderous intentions towards him.

Because he already felt that Rong Qi's hand had reached out to his neck.

The next second, Rong Qi's big hand really pinched his neck: "Think about how you treated me when you were in your glory days. Don't worry, I will definitely make you a good coffin."

As Rong Qi finished speaking, Long Guzi twisted his head desperately.

His breathing became rapid and erratic, his chest heaving violently, as if every breath was the final struggle for life.

Sweat slid down the grooves on his forehead, dripped onto the pillow, and was instantly absorbed by the fabric, leaving behind circles of dark marks.

His voice was hoarse and he spoke incoherently: "Rong...Qi, you...ahem...dare to treat me like this, even if I become a ghost I will not let you go...ahem."

With his neck being strangled, his breathing became increasingly difficult.

At this moment, scenes from the past flashed through his mind, including his former glory, the intrigues with Rong Qi, and his endless pursuit of poison techniques... Now, all of this had vanished into thin air.

Long Guzi gritted his teeth, feeling mixed emotions, unwillingness and fear. But more of a desire to survive - even ants are greedy for life, let alone him, a master of poison who was once so high and mighty.

"Ha! You are still stubborn even when death is imminent. This Sect Master will send you to the Yama Palace for tea."
