Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

"If Xuan Ji was useful, she wouldn't have allowed the horses of Qian Heng to step into our palace."

"Xuan Ji has protected us for hundreds of years, and you're just saying this? Without her, we would all be dead long ago!"

"What did I say? Are you sick? Don't put your life and death in the hands of some imaginary god."

After a few more words, the people below started fighting each other, and the others who stepped forward to persuade them to stop were forced to join in the fight.

After hearing no more news, Bai Sui'an continued to walk through the trees. The thing that was most abundant on the mountain was trees.

Maybe it’s because he has been here for a long time. Bai Sui’an feels that he is becoming more and more adapted to this body, and the effects of his previous exercises are gradually being reflected in this body.

It's just that her appetite has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and she is afraid that the money she gets from the reward will not be enough for her to eat.

From the mountain to the village, Bai Sui'an encountered several waves of patrolmen along the way.

Some spoke the language of Tianxuan Country, and some were already accustomed to the language of Qianheng Country, but Bai Sui'an could understand both types, so he was able to collect a lot of information.

Some people said that the boss of the camp had gone out to do something, saying that he was looking for a new base.

Some people also said that the boss went to negotiate with a noble in the palace, made the noble unhappy, and was detained in the imperial city.

According to Weng Lai's statement, Bai Sui'an could guess that their boss should be Gong Chang.

When did Gongchang get in touch with the nobles in Qianheng Palace?

Bai Sui'an was not sure about it. In her original memory, she just hated Gong Chang for always criticizing her, and she had no clear impression of whether Gong Chang had done anything treasonous.

Following the shift changer all the way to the outside of the camp, they had already gone down the mountain. There were no trees to help Bai Sui'an move, so he had to change his method of movement.

Either you sneak in when no one is paying attention, or you knock someone out and change clothes before going in.

At present, only the first method is feasible, because the patrollers are in groups of five or six people, and everyone is very familiar with the people around them. Everyone is chatting, and if any one of them is suddenly missing, it will be very easy to be discovered.

Bai Sui'an covered the lower half of his face with a black cloth in advance and hid behind a tree not far away. He observed the blind spots of the outer guards and the frequency of people entering and leaving the gate.

The surroundings were empty, with a single road and wooden picket fences on both sides, which was the first checkpoint of the camp.

It was not late at night yet, and he had just eaten and drunk a lot. He looked a little tired but still had some energy.

Fortunately, this place is quite remote and we haven't seen many outsiders for a long time, so it's inevitable that everyone is a little relaxed.

This also gave Bai Sui'an an opportunity. He quickly found a gap in the guards and used his agile body to get around the camp.

The camp is very large, and it has the layout of an ordinary village. In order to avoid being discovered, we need to disguise ourselves as ordinary villagers in time.

Bai Sui'an sneaked around and looked outside every household, and found that every household had specially dried various medicinal herbs, and even the traces of medicinal herbs could be seen in the farmland.

After a walk around, Bai Sui'an discovered that these people didn't actually grow crops?

What to eat

All the prey in the mountains are used to test medicine. It doesn’t look like they are short of food.

I'm afraid it's related to the people who buy and sell food outside, but Bai Sui'an can't make a direct inference now.

I can only look for a place here that centrally manages documents and information, or a warehouse or something like that.

Only after groping his way from the outer circle to the inner circle did Bai Sui'an figure out the route here.

It turns out that there is more than one village after entering the camp. The first village is where medicinal materials are stored, and there are three nearby villages further down.

From a distance, I saw that one of the villages was only guarded by someone. The houses inside were pitch black without any lights on, and the guards outside did not light any candles for illumination.

Bai Sui'an could determine that the place was a warehouse.

If we can create some noise there, we can lure everyone out of the house, which will be the most effective way to search for things or capture people and interrogate them for information.

Once he had an idea, he acted immediately. Bai Sui'an hid in the shadows and approached the warehouse based on the changes in the people outside.

I don’t know if it was really God’s blessing, but Bai Sui’an got outside the house and saw through the cracks in the window that the things stored inside were actually food and fodder.

Burning someone's granary is like cutting off their retreat. Without thinking, Bai Sui'an took out a fire starter from the space and directly set the granary on fire.

Click and run.

There were still two rooms without lights on, and she wanted to take advantage of the chaos to see what was happening elsewhere.

The granary is located at the front and is farther away from the two parallel houses at the back.

When Bai Sui'an reached the outside of the two houses, the guards discovered the fire and called for people to put out the fire.

Fortunately, this era was not that advanced. The windows either could not stop people or could not block the light. There was always a gap in each direction for Bai Sui'an to see the structure inside.

Although the house that Bai Sui'an touched now had few windows and was supported by an iron pillar in the middle, Bai Sui'an could still see many bottles, jars and large water tanks inside, and he could smell the smell of medicine in the air.

Turning his sight, Bai Sui'an suddenly saw a huge square wooden box on the shelf facing the window. The wooden box was shaking obviously, and there seemed to be a living creature inside?

It is difficult to sneak into the window here, and it will take a lot of time to break the door lock. Bai Sui'an didn't want to waste time in this room, so he went to see another room first.

The other room looks similar to the previous one, but the only special thing about it is that it has no door.

Yes, there is no door, and you can’t see what’s inside from the window. The ground is as bottomless as an abyss.

Bai Sui'an leaned slightly to the side, letting the moonlight shine into the house through the window, and the floor swallowed up the moonlight.

Only then did she realize that it wasn't that there was nothing there, but that this place was bottomless and she couldn't see what was underneath.

Also because of the noise from the firefighters outside, Bai Sui'an couldn't hear what was happening inside.

I had to give up and take a detour to another village to see what the situation was.

Because the granary was on fire, the doors of many houses were open and the people inside ran out to put out the fire.

There aren't many people in this village, and Bai Sui'an estimated that it wouldn't take much time to visit each family one by one.

We visited four households in total, all of which were ordinary residences with no information to dig out.

Bai Sui'an was about to give up on this village. As soon as he went out, he found that the door of a house diagonally below him was closed.

Did anyone else not go to put out the fire? Was it because no one was inside, or was it because there were important items inside and the people who left closed the door after leaving?

This special feeling made Bai Sui'an want to go into the house and see what was going on inside.

She did so, nimbly climbing over the wall and tapping the ground with her toes to lessen the sound of her landing.

Almost at the same time, there was movement inside.

"Who?"

A long sword broke through the window and flew towards Bai Sui'an.

Even though Bai Sui'an dodged it quickly, the sword still cut off a small tuft of her hair.

This shows how powerful the swordsman is and how sharp the blade is.

Bai Sui'an grasped the hilt of the sword.

Since it has been thrown away anyway, it’s okay for her to borrow it, right?

The window was pierced by the sword, and the person inside flew out of the window, rolling forward and landing right in front of Bai Sui'an.

Bai Sui'an covered his face, but the person opposite him did not.

The tall and strong woman had sharp facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her dark skin made her presence less noticeable in the night.

This person plays a large role in the original body's memory.

Bai Sui'an recognized her almost at first sight. This person was Ni Ya, the number one master of Tianxuan Kingdom and the personal bodyguard of the Crown Princess.

When the royal family of Tianxuan Kingdom was killed, Ni Ya was clearly staying in the palace, but now he lives in Gongchang's stronghold intact.

It was hard for Bai Sui'an not to suspect that this man was the accomplice in the murder of the Tianxuan royal family.

She would not be polite to Ni Ya, and the other party obviously did not want to be polite to her either.

Flames shot up into the sky from the direction of the granary. Ni Ya glanced at the moon disk obscured by smoke, snorted coldly, and rushed towards Bai Sui'an with bare hands.

Bai Sui'an drew his sword to fight.

There were countless iron rings on Ni Ya's arms. He clenched his fists, shook his arms, and the true energy in his body forced the iron rings to his arms.

He raised his hand to block and shattered the sword in Bai Sui'an's hand.

A powerful punch was about to land on Bai Sui'an's shoulder, and Bai Sui'an quickly raised his hand to use the force to relieve the opponent's strength.

However, he was bounced away by the airflow wrapped around the opponent's fist, and his left shoulder took the punch head-on.

Even though he managed to stabilize himself, Bai Sui'an was still knocked back a distance.

This is what makes Ni Ya so terrifying. Although she is a woman, she has strength that even men are amazed by. She started practicing martial arts since she was able to stand up. It is rumored that she has deep internal strength and can kill people with her true energy without having to use her hands.

Bai Sui'an coughed, gently pressed his left shoulder, and looked at Ni Ya in disbelief.

What the hell? Are people in this world allowed to have true qi?

How to fight this?
