She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

"Well, have you been discovered?" Shangguan Ziqi was concerned about his subordinates and was not interested in whether there was a woman.

There are many women in the underworld. It is normal for them to participate in such things.

"No, I was not hiding. Instead, I was walking near them openly, which made them let down their guard. Besides, I am just one person and there is nothing to be afraid of." Gao Shan also has his own style of doing things.

There were only a dozen of them, and they had to travel to so many places, so they had to act individually.

Of course, they are not really alone. When they arrive at the area they are responsible for, they use money to hire some beggars to help keep an eye on everywhere, so that their network can be spread wider.

These people can get things done as long as they are paid, and it will not arouse suspicion.

Shangguan Ziqi and his secret guards searched everywhere in the mountains.

In the afternoon, they found a corpse that had been eaten by wild animals. The scattered clothes made it impossible to tell the identity of the body.

Those people might wear anything to disguise themselves.

After walking for a while, we saw two more corpses. This time they were not eaten by wild beasts and still had weapons in their hands.

Qingfeng and Mingyue went forward to check and found that he had died of fatal injuries.

"Master, he was killed. He must have had a fierce fight before his death." Qingfeng looked around again and found no signs of a fight.

"Everyone, spread out and look around." Shangguan Ziqi ordered.

More than twenty people, in groups of two, headed in eight directions.

A quarter of an hour later, the sound of a spoon was heard.

Shangguan Ziqi and Jinshui immediately flew over there.

As a result, several more bodies were found in an even denser area of ​​the woods.

All died by the sword.

"Let's go and follow the traces." Shangguan Ziqi took the lead and found a direction with some traces. He used his lightness skills and flew several feet away in a breath.

The guards followed.

We walked like this for about half an hour.

The higher you go, the higher the mountain becomes.

Along the way, they occasionally saw one or two corpses.

As they were nearing the top of a hill, they heard sounds of fighting.

Shangguan Ziqi stopped immediately and asked everyone to move forward stealthily.

It was almost dark now.

When they reached the top of the hill, they saw a group of people fighting.

There were already more than a dozen bodies lying on the ground.

Two of the men dressed as farmers were still alive, the others were men in black.

As Gao Shan said, there was a woman among them, but she was wearing a mask.

At this time, the woman was carrying a backpack.

The farmer was fighting with the woman.

The woman's kung fu was amazing, and Shangguan Ziqi saw that every move and every sword she struck was as powerful as thunder.

The other group of men in black ignored the woman and focused on dealing with another man who was leaning against the woman. The man was also wearing a mask.

The man had a hard time coping.

Every time the sword thrust out, the power was obviously insufficient.

At this moment, when the farmer wanted to snatch the basket, the woman suddenly took advantage of his approach and stabbed the dagger in her left hand into his chest.

The sword in her right hand also helped her companion block the attack of a man in black.

Shangguan Ziqi observed for a while, and when he felt that the woman and her companion were about to collapse, he waved his hand.

He attacked the woman first.

The goal was clear, the backpack on her back.

When the woman saw so many people coming, she knew that the situation was not good. She and her companions were at the edge of the cliff at this time.

Shangguan Ziqi went up without hesitation and used his killing move to take the woman's life.

At this moment, the woman's companion let out a painful groan.

"Brother, how are you?" the woman asked the person behind her while dealing with Shangguan Ziqi.

"Little sister, big brother is dying. Hurry up and jump off the cliff." The man only had time to say this sentence before he was stabbed directly by a sword from a man in black. Under the push, he fell off the cliff.

When the woman saw that her elder brother had fallen off the cliff, she blocked Shangguan Ziqi's sword with all her strength, and then jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

At the critical moment, Shangguan Ziqi pulled out his belt and swung it out, wrapping the woman around him to prevent her from falling.

"Give me the backpack on your back, I'll rescue you. I'll also go down and help you find your brother." Shangguan Ziqi held his belt with one hand and held the ground tightly with the other hand to prevent himself from being pulled down.

But the woman ignored Shangguan Ziqi and swung the long sword in her right hand, breaking her belt.

The woman fell quickly and disappeared from Shangguan Ziqi's sight, disappearing into the darkness.

The secret guards fought with another group of men in black.

Those people had experienced several battles before and were already exhausted.

He was killed by Qingfeng and others in a few moves.

Two people were left alive, but before they could press their acupoints, the two men jumped off the cliff.

"Master, we are a little late." Mingyue was very annoyed.

"Let's check who these people are and go find them." Shangguan Ziqi didn't miss any opportunity.

He couldn't be sure whether the basket contained an iron box.

The bodies were searched one by one, but nothing was found. No one had any evidence of identity on them, only some silver bills.

All we can see is that they are all martial artists.

Shangguan Ziqi frowned after hearing the result.

He went forward to check it again personally.

I found that one of them had a special inner garment.

It seems to have been dyed using a dyeing technique unique to the Southern Shu Kingdom.

He had worn it once before, it was called a "jiayin" (a type of shoe with a printed pattern).

"These people should be from Southern Shu." Shangguan Ziqi guessed.

"Just because of this matter, even the Southern Shu Kingdom has been dispatched?" Qingfeng was confused.

"It's just a guess. The Wei Dynasty lost the iron box, it's such a big thing, and we made such a big fuss looking for the iron box, it's impossible for them not to know about it. It's normal for them to want to get involved. I just don't know which side the two people who fell down were from." Shangguan Ziqi figured it out quickly.

If the iron box is lost and taken by Canglan, the balance between Wei and Canglan will definitely be lost, which will naturally affect the Southern Shu Kingdom.

Canglan was a warlike nation. With relatively few resources and a vast territory and sparse population, they had to buy many things from the other two countries. Seizing territory from others had been their long-held goal.

And the Wei Dynasty was the first to bear the brunt.

This is why there is such deep hatred.

"Let's go down and look for it." Shangguan Ziqi stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down.

But it was dark and I couldn't see anything.

I don't know how deep it is down there.

As a result, when they reached the bottom of the cliff, it was already dawn and they had taken a long detour.

And below was a lake, still flowing.

In the morning light, Shangguan Ziqi looked up and thought, what a coincidence, he fell into the lake.

Although it was March, it was not warm. If you fell, you would definitely die.

"Master, shall we go down to the lake to fish?" Mingyue asked.

"Fishing. Build a big fire on the shore. Each person goes down once, and warms up first when coming up. Then go down again, and be careful not to get sick." Shangguan Ziqi cares about his subordinates very much.

Just let them act according to their physical condition and not try to show off.

They fished for two days.

They did find the bodies of the two people who jumped down last, but not the two who jumped down first, a man and a woman, nor the backpack.

In a village about ten miles away from Jingkai City.

There was a small hunting shed halfway up the mountain. Normally, no one came here. Only those who came up the mountain to hunt would temporarily stop here and spend the night in this small hunting shed.

A woman is wiping the body of a man on a cot.
