They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Standing on the shore, Wu Ziyan looked at the people dressed like water ghosts: "Speak, who are you? What are your intentions? Why do you want to kill me?"

The group didn't answer, they were just scratching themselves. Wu Ziyan found it amusing, thinking that these assassins weren't very good. But looking closely at their attire, they weren't from the Wu Dynasty, so they must be from one of the border countries. And since this was the border of the Northern Desert, they probably wouldn't be openly daring to attack; it would only be a tactic used by other competing countries.

The same people who poisoned her in the city earlier were probably the same ones. They could roam freely in the city and then try to kill her, so it must be because they were blocking her path to wealth or something else. During that time, she only targeted the Prime Minister.

According to Mo Baiyun, the Prime Minister has been secretly colluding with Xiao Rong, so he is probably a person from Xiao Rong.

After a moment of mental turmoil, she uttered three words: "Little Rong Kingdom!"

The group of people were slightly taken aback and looked at Wu Ziyan. Being straightforward by nature, they asked directly, "How did you know?"

Wu Ziyan was secretly pleased that he had guessed correctly, but on the surface he still had to pretend to be profound: "I know everything you do!"

"Ah, it itches! It's so itchy!" As they said this, they started scratching again, and red spots had already appeared. They looked at Wu Ziyan with complicated emotions in their eyes.

Han Yuxiu and Sima Lingchuan walked up to Wu Ziyan, who asked in a low voice, "What did you put in the water?"

"It's nothing, just ordinary medicinal powder. I don't know why they're itchy." Han Yuxiu shook his head. He really didn't understand either, because it was indeed just ordinary medicinal powder.

“You despicable people, you did it and you won’t admit it!” someone shouted.

Han Yuxiu was furious. He hadn't done it, and hearing people say that, he was so angry he didn't know what to say. Wu Ziyan patted his shoulder and had an idea: "If you tell me who instigated this and explain the whole story, I'll give you the antidote!"

The men exchanged glances. The warriors of Xiaorong Kingdom would not suffer such humiliation. Just as they were about to bite down on the poison hidden in their cheeks, a masked figure emerged from the woods and said, "I am the one who ordered them. Give them the antidote and release them."

It was Lu Aza who spoke. Her subordinates recognized her as well, and their eyes were filled with indescribable emotions. Wu Ziyan smiled and said, "Yu Xiu, help me see what's going on with them."

Han Yuxiu walked over and had one of the guards lift up one of their sleeves. He looked at the guard, pursed his lips, unsure what to say, and then thought for a moment: "It's...it's a lot of lice."

Those around wanted to laugh but couldn't, so they had to hold it in. Everyone's expressions were unpredictable, and even the face under Lu Aza's mask turned red.

"You! You're talking nonsense! What do you, a man, know about medicine? You're just trying to fool us! Despicable! You people of the Wu Dynasty are all despicable!"

Wu Ziyan shook his head and ignored them. The captain arrested them, including Lu Aza. After walking a while, Wu Ziyan said, "Let them go."

The captain and Han Yuxiu both said in unison, "No way!"

"I have my own plans." She winked at them.

Wu Ziyan whispered a few words in Han Yuxiu's ear, and Han Yuxiu suddenly realized what she meant. He grabbed a medicine bottle and went over. It turned out that Wu Ziyan wanted to sprinkle fluorescent agent on them.

This powder is extracted from a type of moth. It leaves a mark at night, but if sprinkled on a large area of ​​a person, it's like a walking light bulb.

She wanted to see how long they would follow her and what they were up to. While they weren't looking, Han Yuxiu casually sprinkled some powder. They choked a few times and then asked, "What are you doing!"

Han Yuxiu feigned extreme reluctance: "This is the antidote. Our young lady is merciful and is letting you go."

They actually untied them, leaving them completely bewildered and at a loss! Let them leave? Really?

Of course, this made Lu Aza feel humiliated, but for the sake of the tribe, she still led her group away in a huff.

Far from Wu Ziyan's camp, someone asked, "General Lu, what should we do next?"

"Follow them, and then look for an opportunity to strike!"

"Yes!" [Going again? Are there really any of us?]

Sure enough, when night fell, the bright light bulbs swayed conspicuously in the woods, and the nearby villagers thought they had seen some kind of monster. Several of them glared angrily at the direction Wu Ziyan and his group were heading.

At this moment, Wu Ziyan also saw the fireflies in the forest. She called the captain over and whispered a few words to him. The captain then walked around among the soldiers and instructed them to shout, "What kind of ghosts are on the mountain!"

"That silhouette looks like a pig demon from some ghost story!"

"Hey, this looks more like a bear than a human!"

This was a way of humiliating them, but Lu Aza remained calm and stayed until dawn. When the fluorescent light weakened a bit, Wu Ziyan and the others also needed to rest, after all, they were all human.

Lu Aza and the others also rested. They didn't find an opportunity to make a move until they reached their destination, but she wasn't the type to give up so easily, and Wu Ziyan still let them follow her.

But during the break, Wu Ziyan found the captain again and gave him the letter: "Remember, make several copies and distribute them. Make sure they can intercept them."

"Yes, ma'am."

Along the way, they released many carrier pigeons, each containing notes written by Wu Ziyan. These notes contained fabricated events from the Xiao Rong Kingdom, intended to sow discord. The rest was just waiting to capture Lu Azha and the others again.

After another day of travel, Lu Aza patiently followed along. Wu Ziyan became interested in this person. He had followed for so long without giving up, which showed that he was quite talented, in a certain sense.

Wu Ziyan whispered a few words to the guards, who frowned at her, finding her decision absurd. Gambling with their personal safety like this was fine if they won, but if they lost, everyone would lose their heads.

But since she's a princess, they didn't have much say. Calling them over wasn't for discussion; it was just a pre-planned arrangement.
