Chapter 56

Wang Hai's heart sank.

Things were a bit big.

Under the Ming Cult leader, the Left and Right Envoys have the highest status. Fifteen years ago, the Ming Cult Left Envoy was top-notch, and the Left and Right Envoys were of the same rank, so this Right Envoy shouldn't be much worse.

Moreover, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had never received any news about this Right Envoy in the past ten years. They didn't even know if it was a man or a woman.

Originally, he intended to catch a tongue and follow the vine to dig out a few Ming Cult ghosts, but he didn't expect to catch the tail of a whale.

It's not easy to handle.

When the Embroidered Uniform Guard caught this person, they didn't know the relationship with the Ming Cult, so the methods were a bit rough, and this line would probably be broken in a few days.

If the Ming Cult Right Envoy's martial arts were at a top-notch level, then only Li Miao, Zhu Zai, and Northern Office Commander Bu Lei could eat this person steadily in the Embroidered Uniform Guard at this time.

If it were a Jianghu expert with territory and foundation, they could gather troops to encircle and suppress. But since the Ming Cult was severely damaged fifteen years ago and went underground, the experts in the sect had always been alone.

To catch such a lone expert, one must have an expert who can drag him so that he cannot use light techniques to escape, waiting for troops to encircle and kill.

After Li Miao left, Zhu Zai had to sit in Shuntian Prefecture and could not easily go out.

Northern Office Commander Bu Lei was also not in the northern territory at this time, and he couldn't come back even if he sent a message.

"Send someone to pass the message to the Battalion Commander first, and I will secretly touch this line. If I can't handle it, I will retreat in time." Wang Hai made up his mind.

Except for Li Miao, Zhu Zai, and Bu Lei, Wang Hai was already a top-ranked expert in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. It was better to handle it himself than to push it to others.

"These things appearing together on this road seem to have a line connecting them, not like a coincidence."

"Must touch it, can't let these things ruin the Battalion Commander's plan."

Wang Hai stood up and cross-examined the person. The person's psychological defense had been broken. At this time, he was trembling when he looked at Xiaosi, who was eating snacks at the table, and poured out all the news he knew like beans from a bamboo tube.

After asking everything clearly, Wang Hai didn't hesitate, stood up immediately, and took Xiaosi out.

He sent someone to send the message to Li Miao, explained a few words to Xiaosi, and then took his luggage and set off on horseback.

Xiaosi couldn't practice martial arts after all, could only sneak attack, and couldn't do this kind of tracking task. Moreover, Jinan Prefecture also needed someone to bring the people from Shuntian Prefecture to the Taishan Sect.

Xiaosi stayed in Jinan Prefecture until the afternoon, and someone sent a message: The Embroidered Uniform Guard sent from Shuntian Prefecture had arrived.

She went out, and saw several people standing in the courtyard, all Battalion Commanders under Li Miao, and a Northern Office Battalion Commander, all of whom recognized Xiaosi.

If it were usual, these people would greet Xiaosi with a smile for Li Miao's sake.

It was just that for some reason, these people didn't speak, secretly winking at Xiaosi, as if it were inconvenient to speak.

Just when Xiaosi was strange, she heard a sharp voice from outside the door: "When did your Embroidered Uniform Guard yamen start accepting women?"

"Where is Battalion Commander Li Miao? Why don't I see him? I have something to tell him."

As the voice approached, a middle-aged man walked in.

This person was around forty, with a white face and no beard, his posture was twisted, and his voice was sharp like a woman's.

Xiaosi had been in Shuntian Prefecture for many years, so she naturally knew: this person was a eunuch.

That Northern Office Battalion Commander stepped forward and whispered to Xiaosi: "Fourth sister, this is the eunuch in charge of the Directorate of Ceremonial, Cheng Yuanzhen."

"He's not here with good intentions. Be careful."

That eunuch named Cheng Yuanzhen walked to Xiaosi, scanned her from top to bottom, and asked: "Who are you? This yamen... is it something a woman can enter at will?"

He turned to the Northern Office Battalion Commander and said: "Why... do you have to bring female family members when you Embroidered Uniform Guards go out of the capital to handle affairs?"

"The Emperor is still too lenient with you. If our people in the palace were as careless as you when handling affairs, they would have to be beaten with boards~"

Hearing this person speak, Xiaosi immediately understood that this eunuch was definitely not here with good intentions.

Thinking of the way the several Embroidered Uniform Guard Battalion Commanders and Battalion Commanders were unable to speak, Xiaosi roughly knew the situation in her heart.

Something went wrong.

I don't know what happened to Zhu Zai in Shuntian Prefecture, but the Embroidered Uniform Guard's own affairs, which were only one step away from being finished, were brought here with a eunuch who didn't hide his malice at all.

It was inconvenient to speak in front of this person, so Xiaosi took out a waist token from her waist: "I am a secret agent of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I came here to report on affairs, and I am leaving now."

After saying that, she didn't look at the eunuch and walked out the door.

She didn't go far, but found a place opposite the yamen to wait.

Waiting until the sun set, she saw a Battalion Commander under Li Miao come out to look around, saw Xiaosi, and walked over hurriedly, greeting in a low voice.

"Fourth sister."

"Brother Zhang." Xiaosi nodded: "What's going on, what's the deal with that eunuch?"

Battalion Commander Zhang smiled bitterly: "Fourth sister, we are going to have our peaches picked!"

"Our people had already gathered the manpower and were ready to set off. The Commander went to the palace, came back, and smashed his small courtyard clean."

"The next day, the palace sent some eunuchs. They said that this mission would be handled by the Directorate of Ceremonial and us together."

"This time our mission was divided by these eunuchs in half. The manpower that came was also changed in half."

"The one this afternoon, Cheng Yuanzhen, is the leader. He has caused us a lot of trouble along the way."

"Hai is not here, we can't grasp the Battalion Commander's idea, and the Northern Office's Battalion Commander Wang is just helping out this time. You are the Battalion Commander's foster daughter, and you know what the situation is with this mission now."

"You say, what should we do now?"

Xiaosi thought for a while, raised her little hand and drew a line downward, and looked up at Battalion Commander Zhang.

"Grandmother, can't kill. This is someone sent by the palace. We don't know the inside story here. If we kill him, there will be big trouble."

Xiaosi stretched out two fingers again and made a wriggling motion on her arm.

"Insects won't work either. Even if they can't be found for a while, it will be counted on us afterward."

Xiaosi thought for a while and nodded: "Let's do this."

"There are still five days until the Five Mountains Alliance Meeting. It's not far from Tai'an City, and it takes two days to get there by horse."

"I'll go one step ahead and find my master to explain the situation. You drag him for a few days, walk slowly on the road."

After saying that, Xiaosi suddenly reached out, and her white little hand patted Battalion Commander Zhang's chest.

"I have to wrong Brother Zhang."

With this move, she passed a trace of extremely subtle insect poison into Battalion Commander Zhang's body.

Xiaosi grasped the proportion, Battalion Commander Zhang had internal energy to protect his body, so he wouldn't have any problems, but there would always be some reaction, just right to pretend to be sick and delay.

"Go back and have a meal with a few eunuchs, and they will also be infected with this poison. If their own people get sick, they should be able to drag some time."

Battalion Commander Zhang rubbed his chest and smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay."

Xiaosi didn't hesitate, turned and left immediately, went to the stable to lead the horse, rode out of the city, and galloped toward the Taishan Sect overnight.
