"It's actually very simple if you want to watch me make a joke. You don't even need to find an excuse." Xiao Qingxi pursed her lips, her words always straightforward: "After all, when you bullied me in the past, you always went straight to the point and never found any excuses."

"Now, you're slightly afraid of me because of my backing Su Qian Xing. However, that man isn't clear about my private affairs, so you don't have to be afraid of me complaining about it."

She pursed her lips and looked around. After that, she raised her eyebrows and pointed at a horse not far away. "I know you know some martial arts in private. Why don't we use this as a topic for a match?"

Rio'er, who had just checked her surroundings, immediately understood the meaning behind Xiao Qing Ran's words. She took a step forward anxiously. "Miss, you can't go personally …"

Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Qing Qing raised her right hand and interrupted, "Nothing."

"But …"

Xiao Qing suddenly shook her head. Out of the corner of her eyes, she looked towards the other side and lowered her voice. "Go and do something for me."

A trace of awkwardness flashed through Riko's eyes, but she still took a step forward and lowered her head to listen to the order.

"Before I return, you should secretly watch Liu Suifeng. Don't let anything happen to him."

That man, Su Qianhan, had never cared about her. It was likely that he did not have much consideration for Liu Suifeng's safety.

Riko frowned slightly as she half-lowered her head to say 'yes' before retreating backwards.

Xiao Qing Qing heaved a sigh of relief. She then raised her head to look at Zhao Xin Er who had been thinking for a long time: "How is it? Have you considered it? "

Zhao Xin'er had analyzed the pros and cons of the fight just now and seemed to have already won the crown, "Riding a horse and shooting arrows is my forte, the one who loses will definitely not be me. I don't have anything to think about, I'm just afraid that some people will not accept my words."

"There's no need to go back on my words. If I lose and you don't admit it, you can just tell them that I broke my promise. When that happens, wouldn't I ruin my reputation just what you want?" Xiao Qing Ran's tone was indifferent, as if she wasn't the main character in those words.

Zhao Xin'er really hated the feeling of seeing everything as nothing. She gritted her teeth and said: "You do understand me! Alright, then how do you think we should compete, and what do you think we should lose? "

Xiao Qing Qing suddenly frowned, and calculated the time since Su Qian Han had left, her expression remained calm: "We don't need to hunt or anything, as long as we ride a horse to the deepest part of the forest and put on a piece of ornament, the first one to come back will be considered the winner, we will only be at dusk. How about a thousand silver taels for the loser? "

"A thousand silver?" Zhao Xin'er was stunned, her pupils constricted in surprise.

Although the Zhao residence could not afford a thousand taels of silver, it was not a small amount. It seemed to be beyond her capabilities.

Xiao Qingyi did not want to waste her time with her: "Let's compete or not, let's have a quick talk."

She actually hoped that this woman would back off after knowing the difficulties. She had saved herself a thousand taels of silver for free.

"Compete, I will not lose! "But you, a concubine, would definitely not be able to take out that much money. If you lose, then …"

"Then you can either go to the general's mansion or the crown prince's mansion to ask for it. When that time comes, the two families won't lose face over this thousand taels of silver. Both my father and the crown prince will give it to you." As Xiao Qing Ran spoke, she headed towards the horses. She looked even more anxious than Zhao Xin'er, who had come to cause trouble.

Zhao Xin'er felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of anything. In order not to lose face, she pretended to be magnanimous and followed him: "I'll go. Who's afraid of who?"

Her servant seemed to be timid, but even though he wanted to stop her, he couldn't.

The two of them mounted their respective horses. After mounting their horses, Xiao Qing'er, in order to prevent Zhao Xin'er from being caught up in her plan, told her that they would split up and go north, while Zhao Xin'er headed south.

This was not Zhao Xin'er's first time here. She already knew that the north side of the forest was extremely difficult, so she happily agreed.

After riding into the forest, Xiao Qing didn't follow the edges of the road. Instead, she went deeper into the forest. After about 10 minutes, there were more and more trees and bamboo that couldn't advance.

As Xiao Qing dismounted and walked, she carefully listened to the sounds around her with furrowed brows.

The sound of leaves rustling in the wind, the crisp sound of insect birds, the faint sounds of people joking and talking, and the sound of swords chopping down on bamboo.

"It is indeed here." The expression in Xiao Qing's eyes darkened as she reached into her bosom and took out a veil that she had prepared a long time ago to put on her face. Then, she stomped her feet and leapt five to six meters away with the help of the bamboo.

As he passed by the crowd, he could no longer hear the noise of the people around him. The sounds of fighting in the bamboo forest had also become clearer.

Although this place was called the forest, the innermost area was completely filled with bamboo.

Previously, this had been a bamboo forest, but because Imperial Concubine Su liked bamboo and because of the strict rules of the Imperial Palace, Imperial Highness had planted a large bamboo forest here. Later on, the Emperor ascended the throne, and because Imperial Concubine Su had suppressed his mother many times in the Imperial Palace, Imperial Concubine Su had also disliked this bamboo forest.

The empress dowager had originally wanted to send someone to shovel the bamboo forest, but she was afraid of being criticized by others, so she found a reason to plant many trees around the place.

As Xiao Qing floated in midair, all she saw were traps. Those traps looked like they were catching ordinary beasts, but in reality, they were very clear about the reason.

From a distance, Xiao Qing Ran saw the figure of the man in the forest swinging his sword. She frowned but did not go forward. Instead, she hid in a place not too far away.

"That man really knows how to find opportunities for others!" Xiao Qing Yun looked at Su Qianhan, who was surrounded by about forty to fifty black-clothed men, and his gaze darkened a little.

It was impossible for Su Qianhan's brain to not understand Su Qianxing's plan. But this time, he did not bring a single soldier with him. This damned man really did not care about his life!

Xiao Qing withdrew her brows and shook her sleeve, revealing the bangle on her left wrist.

This was what she got from Elder Yuan. Ever since she suffered at the hot spring outside the city that day, Xiao Qing had planned to make a special box to store concealed weapons. However, normal concealed weapons boxes were too eye-catching and it was not easy to carry around.

Fortunately, she was accurate. The hidden weapon was only as big as a silver needle. This bracelet could hold around fifty or sixty needles at a time, which was enough for her to use once.

The sword in Su Qianhan's hand danced in the wind as a cold and arrogant light flashed in his eyes, "But why would these shrimp soldiers and crab generals dare to attack us? Su Qian Xing is underestimating this king, isn't he? "

The leader stood on his sword and snorted coldly, "Because we know that Duke Han's inner force skills are all the best, we brothers don't dare to underestimate him. Master specifically brought us here to present our greetings to Duke Han."

The man said and looked at the other man, who immediately attacked him, the sword in his hand stabbed towards Su Qian Han's heart with ten percent of his Qi.

Su Qian Han laughed coldly, he swung his sword horizontally, 'ka', the sword of the man in black was broken, but the man did not retreat. Instead, he used his body to meet Su Qian Han's sword.

"Pu ~" The sound of a sword piercing through a person could be heard. The man in black spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Blackblood?

When Xiao Qingran saw this scene from a distance, she frowned and thought to herself, "Not good, I was just about to step forward." But at this moment, she saw that the scene over there had changed.

Su Qian Han pulled out the sword from the man's body, and the blood flowed down the blade. The man swung the sword coldly, and the blood splattered onto the ground, "Is this your greeting gift?"

"What is it? King Han doesn't like it? " The man from before sneered and gave a hand signal to the surrounding people, who immediately formed a circle and formed a formation.

"That man sure is considerate to use poison against This King." Su Qianhan was expressionless.

"Poison man?" Xiao Qing was stunned.

She had heard before that some organizations used the method of raising Gu worms to hide some orphans, and used their bodies as cultivation plates to raise poisonous insects. Over time, these people became truly poisonous people, and although their martial arts were not high, their most deadly weapon was their bodies.

A single drop of blood could kill a hundred people.

However, raising poisonous people was a hundred times more difficult. There were only one or two people in a thousand. How could Su Qian Xing possibly have poisoned people?

Xiao Qing clenched her fists, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, "Su Qian Xing, how many things have you been hiding from me all these years?!"

Heh, Master said that the poison within Duke Han's body is the most powerful in this world. This poison is nothing to you, so it is likely that Duke Han has already guessed what our master is planning to do with his intelligence.

"It's good to be able to heavily injure you, but it doesn't matter if you are impotent. In any case …" We have an order from the Lord! "

"If you want to take the items, it depends on whether you have the ability or not." Su Qianhan's eyes began to gather blood veins. From afar, it looked like he had turned into a bloodthirsty devil.

His sudden change in appearance made those people somewhat apprehensive. They were well aware of the state he had taken after his illness.

However, these men in black had received orders from someone, so they naturally couldn't leave empty-handed.

"Tsk, looks like it's time for me to take action." Xiao Qing Ran's eyes flashed as she quickly pulled out a silver needle from the bracelet with a backhand movement.

The silver needle pierced through the air and shot through the forehead of a man in black who was holding a sword and attacking Su Qianhan from behind.

The speed of the silver needle was extremely fast. Before anyone could see it clearly, they only saw a flash of silver before the sound of the man in black falling to the ground.

This sudden scene caused both sides to be stunned for a moment.

This assassination attempt had been meticulously planned out by the man in black. There were hidden guards all around. They should have been able to confirm that no one could come in, but they saw that Cheng Dingjin's plan had been disrupted.
