If the pesticide was added to the tea, the tea would definitely change color and taste. Even if it was just a little bit, it would still have a pungent smell.
However, if the pesticide was sprayed on the tea trees, the tea leaves would be roasted and then steeped in tea, and the pesticide smell would disappear.
If the pesticide was not so small that it could be ignored, then whether it was the tea leaves or the tea water, the pesticide residue could still be detected. Drinking tea leaves with pesticide residue for a long time would definitely have a certain effect on the human body.
Then, what if the pesticide was replaced with poison, or the ten thousand snake poison?
Wouldn't it be the same? The tea leaves contained ten thousand snake poison, but after being steeped, there was no smell at all. It wouldn't change color or taste? Only a professional and precise test could detect it?
Thinking of this, Han Yunxi's heart was shocked. Her eyes widened, "It must be like this!"
Mu Qingwu was confused, "Princess Consort, what are you talking about?"
Han Yunxi was about to explain, but who would have thought that a sharp sound would suddenly come from behind.
"Princess Consort, be careful!"
Mu Qingwu cried out in alarm. He suddenly pushed Han Yunxi towards the tea trees and then turned around to protect her.
With his rich experience on the battlefield, he could immediately tell that this was the sound of an arrow coming from behind.
There was an assassin!
When Mu Qingwu turned around to block Han Yunxi, he also pulled out his sword and fiercely swung it at the arrow coming at him. His series of movements were clean and very beautiful.
The arrow fell, but he couldn't see where the assassin was. In front of him was an empty space. Other than the tea trees, there were more tea trees. The entire hillside was silent.
Mu Qingwu didn't hesitate. He was alert to the movements around him as he shouted, "Someone, quickly call the guards. There's an assassin!"
The two tea masters on the side were so scared that they immediately turned around and ran. The guards of the tea garden hadn't arrived yet, but suddenly another arrow came from the right. Mu Qingwu waved his sword and easily knocked it down.
The princess consort was behind him, so he didn't dare to carelessly chase. Moreover, the terrain they were in wasn't good for retreating. Mu Qingwu could only stay in place and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Fortunately, judging from the speed of the arrows, there was only one assassin.
Han Yunxi lay on the tea tree and did not dare to move. She admitted that she was very timid. She did not know any martial arts. If she was not careful, she would lose her life!
"Esteemed Wangfei, the reinforcements will be here soon. I'll have to trouble you." Mu Qingwu said in a low voice.
"I … I'm fine! Be careful. " Han Yunxi felt terrible. She bent over at a ninety degree angle, and her whole stomach was pressed against the tea tree. She really wanted to vomit.
"Whoosh …" Another sharp sword came from the left!
Mu Qingwu continued to hit him fiercely and coldly said, "Who are you? Sneaking around, what kind of hero are you?! "
Han Yunxi was speechless … The other party was an assassin. How could he be a hero? It was obvious that his abilities were limited. Since his sneak attack failed, he could only continue with his sneak attack.
Otherwise, wouldn't they take advantage of the fact that reinforcements hadn't arrived to end the battle quickly?
Han Yunxi had never encountered an assassin before, so she had never encountered any kind of fighting. With this conjecture, she felt much more at ease.
But who knew that Mu Qingwu would suddenly be shocked. He said in a low voice, "Esteemed Wangfei, there are many people coming! Did we offend them? "
"What?"
Before Han Yunxi could understand, Mu Qingwu turned around and pulled her into his arms. Then, he soared into the air. Almost at the same time, countless arrows flew from all directions. "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "The sound of the arrows breaking through the air was incessant!
Mu Qingwu held Han Yunxi tightly in his arms with one hand and held his sword with the other. He swung his sword to knock down the arrows while constantly turning around to dodge.
Han Yunxi buried her head in his arms and fiercely dodged up and down, spinning around. She was dizzy and could not see what was happening, but she could clearly hear the sound of arrows and swords colliding. "Clang! Clang! Clang! "Rapid, loud, and abnormally fierce.
There were actually so many people lying in ambush. Were they here for Mu Qingwu or for her?
Mu Qingwu was completely focused on blocking the arrows. The assassins still did not show themselves and were hiding in the tea trees. They were using very easy to shoot arrows.
The reason why they did not shoot ten thousand arrows at once was because they were worried that they would expose themselves too early and would not be able to hurt him. They wanted to let him be careless and then use all their firepower.
It was obvious that these assassins knew him very well!
Could they be the assassins who tried to assassinate him in the imperial capital last time?
At this time, Mu Qingwu did not care so much. His first task was to protect esteemed wangfei and not let her come to any harm. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain himself to the Duke of Qin's Manor.
The arrows were increasing in number. Mu Qingwu did not have a chance to escape. He could not even find a chance to take the initiative to attack. He could only block them.
The only thing he was thankful for was that this was the tea garden and reinforcements would arrive soon.
If they were attacked in the wilderness, he would not be able to hold on for long with the enemy's strength.
"Quick! They're all hiding in the tea trees! "
"Split up and search!"
Soon, a sharp order was heard. It was none other than the manager of the tea garden and the representative of the Manor Lord, Guard Shangguan.
He was in his early forties with a mustache and a solemn face.
He jumped out and flew into the air with his sword drawn to support Mu Qingwu while giving the order.
Following that, a large group of black-robed guards also flew down from the mountain top. Each of them was agile and strong as they held their swords and rushed into the dense tea trees.
When the reinforcements arrived, there was a strange whistle and the arrow attack stopped. The black-robed masked assassins stood up from the tea trees and retreated in all directions.
Guard Shangguan immediately chased after them and threw out his long sword, which actually pierced into the back of an assassin. He chased after them and pulled out his sword, knocking down a few crossbow bolts that were shot at him. He immediately flew forward and pressed his long sword against the assassin's neck.
"Don't move or you'll die!" Guard Shangguan said coldly.
In this situation, of course, he had to keep the assassin alive. Capturing one alive was more important than killing everyone.
But unexpectedly, the assassin did not turn around. He silently took the initiative to approach and slit his neck against the blade. He committed suicide!
Guard Shangguan was shocked. He couldn't care less and chased after the surrounding assassins. The guards of the teahouse had already started fighting with the assassins in all directions. The sound of weapons clashing could be heard one after another.
Mu Qingwu also wanted to chase after them and capture one alive to interrogate, but he endured it. He had to protect the Princess Consort.
He protected Han Yunxi away from the battlefield and landed on a small flat ground. As soon as he landed, he immediately let go and said seriously, "Princess Consort, I'm sorry to offend you."
"It's fine, it's fine. It's all thanks to you!" Han Yunxi patted her chest in panic.
She originally thought that there was only one assassin. Who knew that there would be so many ambushes. Fortunately, there were reinforcements. Otherwise, no one would know how she and Mu Qingwu died.
Looking at the fierce fighting below, Mu Qingwu still did not dare to be careless. He constantly paid attention to the situation around him.
Soon, another batch of reinforcements arrived. They surrounded the entire mountainside from the outside, leaving the assassins no place to escape.
The assassins gradually retreated and gathered in the center. They did not give up attacking. They stood back to back and continuously shot arrows, forcing the guards of the tea garden to carefully block them.
Han Yunxi and Mu Qingwu watched, worried that Guard Shangguan could not capture them alive.
"Young General, these people are coming for you, right?" Han Yunxi asked in a low voice. She knew that she had offended many people, but those grievances were not worthy of her enemies to go to such lengths to assassinate her. One had to know that the crime of assassinating the Princess Consort was very serious. A light punishment would be the execution of the whole family. A heavy punishment would be the death of the entire family.
"Yes, they know me very well." Mu Qingwu said indifferently, his gaze not leaving the battlefield.
But who knew that at this moment, Han Yunxi suddenly heard a "beep beep beep" sound.
The frequency of this warning sound told her that there was poison rapidly approaching and should be behind her.
Han Yunxi did not recover her senses for a moment and unconsciously turned her head to look behind her.
"Ah …"
Han Yunxi screamed loudly. She did not know where she got the strength from, but she fiercely pushed Mu Qingwu away. Mu Qingwu did not expect this and was directly pushed to the ground.
Almost at the same time, a sharp sword came from behind and stabbed at the position where Mu Qingwu was just standing. If Han Yunxi did not push him away, the consequences … would be unimaginable!
He was actually able to approach without a sound and almost take Mu Qingwu's life, and Mu Qingwu didn't even notice?
What kind of expert was this?
The person holding the sword behind him was actually a female assassin in black. Without a doubt, her martial arts were above Mu Qingwu's.
She instantly approached and grabbed Han Yunxi's hand!
"Let go of me! Let go! "
Han Yunxi screamed as she fiercely struggled in fear. So this group of assassins' target was not Mu Qingwu, but her!
No one had expected such a thing to happen. This female assassin was a true assassin! Everything else was a cover!
Even guard Shangguan looked over and was stunned.
However, Mu Qingwu's reaction was very fast. He quickly grabbed his sword and jumped up, but who would have thought that the female assassin would grab Han Yunxi's hand while suddenly turning around and stabbing her sword at Mu Qingwu.
All of this happened too fast. Mu Qingwu did not have a choice. He would rather take the sword and protect the Princess Consort.
He did not dodge and used his shoulder to meet the female assassin's sword. At the same time, his sword stabbed at the female assassin's heart.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Han Yunxi would cry out in alarm, "Be careful of the poison on her sword. You will die!"
Mu Qingwu was distracted. At this moment of life and death, when the two swords were about to hit each other, the female assassin's sword turned and fiercely knocked away Mu Qingwu's sword. At the same time, she pulled Han Yunxi into her embrace and turned to run!
"Princess Consort!"
Mu Qingwu was scared out of his wits and sprang to his feet in an instant. Guard Shangguan had already flown past him and chased after him.
Mu Qingwu did not delay and chased after her. But unexpectedly, the female assassin's speed was very fast. Whether it was Mu Qingwu or guard Shangguan, they could not catch up.
From afar, they saw that they were about to leave the Heavenly Fragrance Teahouse. The two of them used all their strength to chase after her, but they could not catch up. They could only watch as that figure disappeared into the mountains and disappeared.
It's over!
Guard Shangguan panted as he lay paralyzed on the ground, his face pale. Qin Wangfei was kidnapped in the Heavenly Fragrance Teahouse. How could he bear this?
Mu Qingwu's face was even paler than guard Shangguan's. Only then did he realize that this group of assassins was after the Princess Consort!
The two of them looked at each other in dismay, but they did not see a red figure sweep past them and disappear into the mountains.
Very quickly, the two of them thought of the group of assassins left on the mountainside of Nanshan. Unfortunately, when they arrived, all they saw were corpses. All the assassins in black had killed themselves.
"Useless things!" Guard Shangguan angrily sent a guard flying with a kick.
Mu Qingwu clenched his fists until they made cracking sounds. He coldly said, "Search the mountains! Guard Shangguan, immediately search the mountains for me! Also, send someone to report to the Duke of Qin's Manor! "
After he finished speaking, he did not have time to catch his breath and immediately rushed into the mountains.
Guard Shangguan did not dare to delay and immediately arranged everything. He himself immediately flew towards the peak of Xishan Mountain. With such a big thing happening, he had to report it to the Manor Head!
