My lady, I'm going to rebel.

After an unknown amount of time, the footsteps gradually approached, and a group of people holding torches rushed into the inn.

The leader was a burly man with a full beard and a fierce look in his eyes. He shouted, "Search! Don't miss a single corner. Find that thing!"

Mu Zheng and others were listening to the noise outside in the utility room, and they became more and more confused. What on earth were these people looking for?

And what is their connection with the poisoning case in the inn and the poisoning of the rebel bride?

All the mysteries seem to be like the thick night, becoming deeper and more elusive.

Zhong Hua leaned closer to Mu Zheng and said in a low voice, "This matter is not simple. We must get to the bottom of it and not alert the enemy."

Mu Zheng nodded slightly. Li Lian on the side looked alert, and his hand unconsciously pressed on the sword at his waist, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

When the noise outside died down a little, Mu Zheng gave a wink, and the three of them escorted the black shadow, carefully climbed out of a small window in the utility room, and quietly came to the backyard of the inn.

The backyard was pitch black and silent, with only the light footsteps of a few of them being particularly clear in the night. Fortunately, those who were searching were busy rummaging and did not notice.

At this time, Han Zi and Xiao Wenzi also quietly came to the backyard to meet them as agreed before.

Little Mosquito was small and agile, good at gathering information. He approached Mu Zheng and whispered, "Brother, I just saw them looking for something important, and the bearded guy leading them was really anxious."

Mu Zheng gently patted Xiao Wanzi's shoulder, signaling him to continue paying attention.

Several people crouched down and moved along the wall towards the group of people, hiding behind a bush and watching their every move.

At this moment, a man who looked like a subordinate came close to the bearded man's ear and whispered something. The bearded man's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really? Then why don't you lead the way!"

As they spoke, a group of people hurried towards the stables of the inn.

Mu Zheng and others did not dare to delay and followed quietly.

Arriving at the stable, they saw those men rummaging around a dilapidated haystack. Soon, an object wrapped in oil paper was pulled out. A smug smile appeared on the bearded man's face. "Haha, we finally found it! With this, we'll see how those two rebel armies can form an alliance. The situation in Henan will finally be decided by us."

Han Zi frowned and whispered to the people around him, "I wonder what's in that bag? It actually has such power. Could it be related to poisoning?"

Li Lian also looked solemn, "No matter what, we must not let them succeed."

Just as he was thinking, the little mosquito accidentally touched a wooden stick next to him, making a slight sound.

The bearded man instantly became alert and shouted, "Who? Come out!"

In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely tense. Mu Zheng and others clenched their fists, Han Zi and Li Lian drew their swords, and Xiao Wanzi also took out a dagger from his arms, preparing to deal with the upcoming fierce fight.

The bearded man's loud shout broke the silence of the night, and the air around the stable seemed to freeze in an instant.

Mu Zheng was the first to stand up from behind the bushes and said loudly, "Now that we've been discovered, there's no need to hide. What conspiracy are you all plotting? We must explain it today!"

The bearded man saw that there were only a few of them. The tension on his face faded, replaced by a hint of disdain. "Humph, you guys think you can meddle in my business? Get out of here now if you know what's good for you, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Li Lian snorted coldly and swung the sword in his hand. The blade gleamed coldly in the torchlight. "You have done such a heinous thing and are still so arrogant. Today we have to deal with this trivial matter. Watch out for the sword!"

After saying that, he tapped his feet lightly and rushed towards the bearded man like lightning.

The bearded man didn't expect the other party to attack so quickly, so he quickly dodged the sharp sword and roared, "Go ahead, get rid of them all!"

The men behind him drew their weapons and shouted as they surrounded Mu Zheng and the others.

Han Zi and Xiao Wanzi looked at each other, and the two of them rushed towards the enemy from the left and right, cooperating tacitly.

Han Zi held a long knife in his hand, and every swing of the knife was powerful, forcing those minions to unable to get close to him; Xiao Wanzi was agile and like a ghost, and he chose to attack the opponent's weaknesses. The short knife in his hand left wounds on the enemy from time to time, and for a while, those people could not get close to Mu Zheng and others.

While dealing with the attacking enemies, Mu Zheng shouted at the bearded man, "Do you think you can control the situation just by getting that thing? Sooner or later, your poisoning and harming people will be exposed to the world. You can't escape!"

While parrying Li Lian's attack, the bearded man cursed back, "Humph, when you're all dead, who will know about these things? In this world, the strong are respected. Those two rebel armies are trying to unite and share a piece of the pie. How can I let them do that?"

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the little mosquito seized the opportunity and rushed towards the minion holding the oil-paper bag. The minion was concentrating on watching the fight in the field and did not expect the little mosquito to suddenly attack him. Before he could react, the oil-paper bag was snatched away by the little mosquito.

"Brother Mu, I got the stuff!" Little Mosquito shouted, but at this moment, the bearded man suddenly exerted his strength and used a ruthless move to force Li Lian back, then pounced on Little Mosquito, "Give me back the stuff, or I'll kill you!"

Seeing this, Mu Zheng quickly flew over to stop him and exchanged blows with the bearded man. Both of them took several steps back. Mu Zheng felt his palm go numb, secretly surprised by the bearded man's great strength.

"You guys go quickly and take the things to find out what the secret is inside. I'll hold them back!" Mu Zheng shouted.

Li Lian and Han Zi knew the situation was critical and they couldn't afford to delay. They protected Xiao Wanzi and turned to run out of the inn. The bearded man tried to give chase, but was stopped by Mu Zheng. The two engaged in another fight, with swords flashing and sparks flying everywhere.

Li Lian and his companions ran furiously, not daring to pause for even a moment, until they reached a remote, dilapidated temple. Little Mosquito, panting heavily, looked at the oil-paper package in his hand and carefully opened it, revealing a letter and a small porcelain bottle filled with an unknown powder.

Little Mosquito picked up the letter first. The letter paper was a little old and it was obvious that it had been there for some time. He unfolded the letter paper. Although the handwriting on it was a little blurry, it was still barely recognizable.

What was recorded in the letter was actually a secret agreement between the three rebel armies many years ago. It was roughly agreed that if one party attempted to expand its power through means such as marriage, the other two parties had the right to work together to check and balance it, and take extreme measures if necessary.

Han Zi sniffed the small porcelain bottle containing the powder and his expression changed. "This smell is very similar to the poison left on the body of the victim in the inn poisoning case. It seems that there is poison in this bottle without a doubt."
