Qi Sha came over and looked inside. Seeing that the Duke was still in deep sleep, he asked softly, "Princess, do you have any orders?"

Chu Qingyao handed over a bag of things with a solemn expression, "If anything happens tonight, throw this bag of medicinal powder into the fire."

Qi Sha was startled, he already understood that it was a wrapped up item. But wangfei's method was really good. Even they themselves didn't have the antidote!

Chu Qingyao could tell what he was thinking with a glance, she turned around and took out a pile of antidote from it and stuffed it into Qi Sha's hands, "We'll eat it tonight." If they ate early, it would be useless.

"Your subordinate will do as you say." Qi Sha was a little excited, and thought of the He Lanxi that had been poisoned by the wangfei last time. Princess Hua-Yang's medicine didn't have to be so vicious. As long as she could take down all her enemies, everything would be fine.

After finishing all of this, Chu Qingyao was truly exhausted. Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhi was still awake, she also found a comfortable place and fell asleep.

When she was asleep, Xuanyuan Zhi suddenly opened his eyes. He could clearly see that Chu Qingyao's medicine was taken out of thin air.

Twilight fell, and the night wind blew.

The exhausted crowd could only rest by the roadside. Not far from them, there was a pavilion that sheltered them from the rain. Chu Qingyao alighted from the carriage and blew on the wind in the pavilion for a while before returning to the carriage.

After the meal, everyone lit a fire to rest. In the middle of the night, the moon was bright and the stars were thin.

My lord, there are about three hundred men." The sound of Seven Deadly Swords brandishing his treasured sword awakened everyone from their stupor.

Xuanyuan Zhileng's pupils congealed, he looked at Chu Qingyao, who was standing beside him and could not see her emotions. Just now, he had tried to gather his breath, but he realized that he could not even circulate his energy, and his heart had sunk.

"Go, fight with all your might."

"Yes." Qi Sha led the way from the front.

Chu Qingyao clasped her hands together with a face full of apprehension, but in her heart, she was praying that the medicine she concocted could defeat the enemy. How about tonight... It was the end of them all.

Xuanyuan Zhi's hands caressed his legs as his eyes darkened. If he took another risk, the price would be that he would be crippled for life.

When his life was compared to his legs, he had no other choice but to choose the former. He painfully looked at his motionless legs, and the expression in his eyes became even darker. Hopefully, Chu Qingyao's medicine would be effective …

When the black-clad men surrounded everyone, the remaining guards all picked up their weapons one by one to confront the black-clad men. Qi Sha came beside the bonfire. With a wave of his hand, a bag of medicinal powder fell to the ground.

"Just who are you people? Why do you want to assassinate our prince time and time again? Don't you know that the Northern Region is at war with the Falcon Kingdom, and the people there are waiting for your highness to save them? " Qi Sha held onto her sword, and stared at the leader coldly in the night wind.

The black clothed man frowned, how could he not know about what Qi Sha had said, his mission was to obey the orders from the higher ups.

His expression relaxed, and he said, "Qi Sha, as long as you give up resisting, I'll leave you a complete corpse."

Qi Sha looked at the bonfire and knew that talking to this kind of people was definitely a waste of saliva, but since his brothers were all injured, he didn't want to waste his battle power anymore.

Why hadn't the princess' medicine taken effect yet?

A hint of regret appeared on his face, "Since I have to die, why don't I take off the things on your face and make myself understand?" He was stalling for time.

The leader laughed and used the hilt of his sword to stroke the face under the mask. He cautiously swept his eyes over the carriage, "Qi Sha, when you die, I will take it off for you to see. "Rest assured, I respect you as a man. You will definitely do as you say."

Qi Sha did not speak, as though he was considering the authenticity of his words.

Suddenly, the leader's body shook and he felt dizzy. Before he could understand what was going on, the sound of falling onto the ground came from behind him. He quickly turned around and found that a large number of the people he had brought with him had already fallen.

"Qi Sha, you actually poisoned him, despicable him!" He quivered, unable to bear the regret in his heart, and his two legs went limp as he fell down.

Seeing that the medicine had taken effect, Qi Sha was overjoyed. He came forward and gave the leader a ruthless kick, "Brat, obediently show your face. Let me show you, Qi Sha, what kind of appearance you have."

He tore off the mask and was stunned. Why was it an unfamiliar face? That's not right, he clearly sounded familiar.

Reaching out his hand to feel the man's face, the man was shocked, "Qi Sha, what are you doing?"

"What do you think?" Qi Sha sneered and ripped off a mask that was as thin as a silkworm's wing. It turned out to be a familiar one. It was actually the Imperial Guard's commander, Qiu Congjiang. Since his identity had been exposed, Qiu Congjiang lowered his head in guilt.

Qi Sha raised his head and waved to the guards beside him, "Kill them, leave none alive." As he finished speaking, a single sword strike had dealt a blow to Qiu Congjiang.

A quarter of an hour later, the three hundred men in black were completely wiped out. The strong stench of rain spread far into the night wind. Chu Qingyao's face was deathly pale, her stomach churning uncontrollably.

Tonight was different from the previous two nights. She had been busy saving people the previous two nights and had no time to watch. She had clearly seen the entire process of the guards killing the man in black tonight. The fresh blood and the constant slaughter had stimulated her nerves. If not for her strong mental fortitude, she would have collapsed long ago.

"Where is my antidote?" Xuanyuan Zhi's voice carried a faint trace of pity, as though he was trying to use his words to distract her attention.

"Huh?" She was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Xuanyuan Zhi had not taken the antidote, and quickly took one to feed to him.

Not long after, Qi Sha came over to report, "Your Highness, the princess' medicine is really effective. Not a single person among the three hundred people tonight is left alive."

"Order someone to notify the nearest government. Tell them that This King has been ambushed here. At the same time, release the news and let me see if he will still have the face to send people to assassinate This King." Xuanyuan Zhi was obviously angry. This matter didn't go as far as three days. Did he really think that he wouldn't dare to brag about this matter?

He did not expect that his royal brother was someone who could not be understood. With an enemy at the moment, and his own family rebelling at such a time, what did he take the people of Tianchong to be? How could such a despicable person be loved by the people?

At daybreak, the nearest county governor of the Azure Province led a team of soldiers over. When he heard that the roasting king was assassinated in a place under his jurisdiction, his official hat went crooked and he quickly dismounted from his horse to beg for forgiveness.

"This official, the county governor of Qingzhou County, Feng Qing, has come to meet Your Highness. This official is guilty, so Your Highness, please punish me."

This was the first time Chu Qingyao had seen an official other than Xuanyuan Zhi. She saw the county governor completely paralyzed on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
