The moon falling to the ground

Jian Yue and the others had a piece of cloth tied on their arms to distinguish between friends and foes. Whenever the yamen runners saw someone with a cloth tied on his arm in Jian Huaian's house, they knew it was one of their own.

Several people went to the back door, and Fu Qi climbed over the wall and opened the back door from the inside.

The backyard was not big, and Fu Qi and his men were leading the way in front.

Jian Yue sent someone to open the door for the yamen runners in the front yard.

After the yamen runner came in, he carefully checked the yard and the kitchen woodroom, but found nothing unusual.

Captain Wu kicked open Jian Huaian's bedroom door. A faint smell of alcohol hit him in the face.

Captain Wu quickly took a few steps back.

When he came, the county magistrate told him that the princess's expert guards were knocked unconscious by poisoned wine, so Captain Wu was very afraid of the smell of alcohol.

"Open all the doors and windows to get rid of the smell inside first." Jian Yue reminded.

Captain Wu did as he was told immediately.

He knew that this handsome servant was the princess in disguise, so he did not dare to neglect him.

After waiting for a while, Jian Yue sprinkled some medicine powder into the room and motioned everyone to go in.

The small hole on the wall was still there, with a circle of dirt around it. Jian Yue went closer to check and found that it was a trace left by the poison.

There is a desk on the right side of the door. There are not many furniture in the bedroom, but it looks very messy. It can be seen that Jian Huaian is not a person who likes to tidy up.

Dirty clothes and shoes were scattered everywhere, and the bed was as messy as a pigsty.

Captain Wu led his men to search personally and soon found something unusual under the bed. There was a square wooden board embedded in the ground under the bed.

Several yamen runners worked together to move the bed and lifted the wooden board. Before they could see clearly inside the hole, a foul smell rushed up, making the runners dizzy and they quickly retreated.

"Don't get close yet." Jian Yue hurriedly spoke out to stop them, and took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Captain Wu, "This contains Qingxin Jiedu Pills, one for each person, take it quickly."

When the runners heard that the stench was poisonous, they panicked and rushed to take the pills. At this time, they found that Jian Yue and the others were wearing cloth masks on their faces, covering their mouths and noses.

Failed!

Why didn't you think of that?

The yamen runners secretly regretted it.

"You guys step aside first, let me take a look." Jian Yue said.

Fu Yun hurriedly said, "I'll do it." Then he rushed to the entrance of the cave.

"Be careful!" Jian Yue quickly pulled Fu Yun away. Fu Yun also noticed something was wrong in the cave and quickly retreated.

A puff of white smoke came out of the cave.

"Get out!" Jian Yue shouted. With a single move, she was already outside the house.

Captain Wu: ...So fast!

Thump thump!

Among the yamen runners who ran out of the house, two fell to the ground.

Captain Wu was shocked: "Poisoned?"

Jian Yue stepped forward to check: "They have inhaled drugged smoke." As she spoke, she took out a silver needle and pricked the two men a few times. She then took out a porcelain bottle, unscrewed the stopper and shook it under the two men's noses.

The pungent smell woke up the two runners quickly. They got up quickly and thanked Jian Yue.

Captain Wu frowned: "What should we do? If the people in the cave keep releasing smoke, we won't be able to get close."

Jian Yue took out a pigeon egg-sized pill from her backpack and asked Fu Yun to shoot it into the cave.

The chief constable Wu and other yamen runners watched Fu Yun take off the bow and arrow from his back and tie the pill to the arrow head.

Fu Yun quietly approached the door and could see the cave entrance from the door. Fu Yun bent his bow and drew his arrow, shooting towards the cave entrance.

boom!

A muffled sound came from the cave, accompanied by a scream that was not like a human voice.

Jian Yue recognized Yan Xinning's voice with her sharp ears. She asked Fu Yun to shoot a miniature sulfur fire bomb, and Yan Xinning was most afraid of things with fire.

As the fire came out of the cave, a dirty and smelly figure crawled out of the cave. Her hair was like messy grass, her clothes were tattered, and there were messy black stripes on her neck and face. It seemed that the toxins in Yan Xinning's body could not be controlled and had begun to spread to her head. However, she was lucky that she was not hit by the sulfur fire bullet.

The yamen runners immediately raised their weapons and prepared for battle.

Fu Qi and his companions blocked Jian Yue behind them and looked at Yan Xinning vigilantly.

Yan Xinning's consciousness was already confused, and she could only clear her mind for a while when she took another poison to suppress the toxicity. However, her hatred for Jian Yue was engraved in her bones, so even though her mind was not clear, she recognized Jian Yue at a glance and rushed towards her instinctively.

"Die, die!" She spoke incoherently, with a sticky grey liquid flowing from the corners of her mouth, and her bloodshot eyes were very scary. Her two arms were swinging wildly, but she was running very fast.

Looking at Yan Xinning like this, and remembering the image of a noble lady who was pure, holy and proud when she first met her, Jian Yue felt that she was pathetic and hateful.

"Don't get close to her and don't have any physical contact with her." Jian Yue warned loudly.

The yamen runners retreated one after another. They had never seen such a monster before, it was too scary.

"Get out of the way, I'll do it." Fu Yun aimed his bow and arrow at Yan Xinning and shot an arrow.

But to everyone's surprise, this arrow did not scare Yan Xinning away. She just paused for a moment, glanced at Fu Yun who shot the arrow, and continued to pounce on Jian Yue.

Fu Yun's arrow hit Yan Xinning's back, and black liquid soaked her clothes, but Yan Xinning felt nothing, as if she didn't feel any pain.

The yamen runners hid even further away.

This type of criminal was far beyond their understanding. If they approached them, they would be courting death. It would be better for them to leave the situation to the protection of the princess's experts.

Fu Qi stepped forward to stop Yan Xinning. Although Yan Xinning was fast, she did not know martial arts, and was stabbed several times by Fu Qi, and more and more black liquid flowed out of the wound.

Jian Yue frowned and suddenly shouted: "Don't hurt her, the toxins in her body will dissipate."

Fu Qi was startled and pulled back the sword that he had thrust out.

This was a difficult situation. How could I catch her if I couldn't hurt her or get close to her?

Fu Qi could only dodge left and right and circle around Yan Xinning.

Jian Yue asked Captain Wu to take people to prepare ropes and firewood.

At this time, the poisonous gas from Yan Xinning's body had already spread out. If everyone present had not taken the detoxification pill, they might have been poisoned by Yan Xinning's poisonous gas.

Captain Wu quickly found a rope. Jian Yue asked the experts around her to surround Yan Xinning, stand in four positions, and tie her up with a rope.

Yan Xinning probably sensed the danger and turned to run, but was caught by a noose thrown by an expert. The four people immediately tightened the ropes in their hands. Yan Xinning was trapped in the middle and couldn't move, screaming and struggling desperately.

The runners brought firewood and threw it at Yan Xinning's feet. One runner poured half a bucket of rapeseed oil from the kitchen onto the firewood. Another runner lit a torch and threw it over. The flames rose and instantly surrounded Yan Xinning.

Yan Xinning's eyes almost popped out of her sockets with fear, and her scream was sharp and piercing.

At this moment, Jian Huaian was escorted over and happened to see this scene...
