Han Yunxi caught a glimpse of a red figure, then she couldn't see the person anymore. At the same time, Qing Yi grabbed her and flew towards the northern mountain range.
There were poisonous mosquitoes all over the mountain, it could even be said that the air was filled with poisonous mosquitoes. At this time, even if the people searching the mountain had the courage to continue, they would be poisoned to death very quickly.
This group of assassins basically didn't stop them and their journey was smooth, but their speed was slightly slower.
Han Yunxi also didn't struggle. She was entangled with one thing. Who exactly was that fellow Gu?
Wasn't he afraid of the poisonous mosquitoes? Could it be that he had the antidote?
If he had the antidote, he would have already guessed that there were poisonous mosquitoes here? Because the antidote for the poisonous mosquitoes wasn't that easy to find.
Thinking of this, Han Yunxi couldn't help but look around. Unfortunately, there was a dense mass of black everywhere. Even the trees couldn't be seen clearly, not to mention the hidden people.
Was that guy following them around? Earlier in the cave, there was such a good opportunity but he didn't make a move. Once the assassins escaped from this mountain, it would be even harder to save people.
Gu, was he really here to save her?
With a stomach full of doubts, Han Yunxi didn't dare to pin her hopes on a stranger. She had to save herself!
"Where exactly are you bringing me to?" She questioned loudly.
Qing Yi glanced over and didn't say a word.
"You should at least tell me. Are you bringing me to see your Lord?" Han Yunxi probed again.
Unfortunately, this Qing Yi was very calm and had a completely different temperament from that Hei Sha. It was harder than ascending to the heavens to get any clues from her mouth.
Not saying it right!
If you don't say it, you'll regret it!
Han Yunxi thought hatefully. Seeing that everything around her was getting darker and darker, she simply closed her eyes.
In just a moment, a colourless and odourless medicinal powder appeared in her palm.
Although her hands were tied and unable to move, but her detoxification system was connected to her brain. Her soul, or rather consciousness, could completely override the detoxification system.
With just a thought, she opened the detoxification system and the medicinal powder that she wanted appeared in her hands.
Of course, taking this kind of small powder didn't require much mental strength. If he took a larger medicine or a medicine that was stored in the detoxification system, he would have to spend more energy. He couldn't get it just by thinking about it.
If Tsing Yi knew that she was the one who had helped Long Fei Ye kill Sister Wen who could control poisonous mosquitoes, perhaps Tsing Yi would be more prepared. Unfortunately, she didn't know anything.
Compared to Hei Sha, she did not look down on Han Yunxi. However, she still underestimated her.
Han Yunxi could disperse and kill the poisonous mosquitoes, so she also had a way to attract them. The powder in her hand was called Mosquito Coil.
This mosquito repellent incense was not the mosquito repellent incense used in modern times. It was a mosquito repellent incense used to attract poisonous mosquitoes. As long as she released it, the poisonous mosquitoes would definitely be attracted.
Holding the powder tightly, Han Yunxi slowly opened her eyes. A trace of craftiness flashed across her clear and bright eyes.
She carefully released the powder between her fingers and let it flow out a little. Very quickly, the poisonous mosquitoes surrounded them. Luckily, Tsing Yi's speed was fast. Otherwise, Han Yunxi's hand would definitely be bitten full of holes!
During the flight, Han Yunxi tried hard to look behind her from the corner of her eyes. She saw a group of poisonous mosquitoes gathering behind her. It was so densely packed that it was scary. If someone with trypophobia saw this scene, they would immediately go crazy!
Han Yunxi immediately kept the medicinal powder back into the detoxification system. Luckily, otherwise, if she attracted the poisonous mosquitoes, she would also go crazy!
Tsing Yi was seriously avoiding the branches and shuttling through the forest. She didn't notice the abnormality behind her. Very quickly, they were far away from the group of poisonous mosquitoes.
Han Yunxi secretly sighed and her lips curled into a bright smile.
After giving it a try, the effect of this medicinal powder was pretty good.
Attracting the poisonous mosquitoes was also particular about the timing and method. At this moment, the entire mountain was filled with poisonous mosquitoes. If she released the powder, not only would it attract trouble, it would also arouse Tsing Yi's vigilance.
She was waiting, waiting for the best opportunity.
A group of black-clothed masked assassins were leading the way. Tsing Yi pulled Han Yunxi and followed behind. Although they had the antidote, but as the sky became darker and darker, they had no choice but to slow down as they walked in the poisonous mosquitoes.
Time passed by slowly and the sky was about to turn dark.
At this moment, the people who were searching the mountain had all retreated. All the mountain passes' defenses had also been removed. This meant that Long Fei Ye had given up.
However, he still stood on the highest peak of this mountain range, overlooking the mountains. Looking down from such a high place, he could only see a layer of faint black fog pervading the mountains.
As the sky darkened, it became more and more unclear.
"Your Highness, the poisonous mosquitoes have already spread out from all the mountain passes. In some places, they've spread for several li." Guard Shangguan hurried over to report.
He had originally wanted to expand the encirclement, hoping that perhaps he could still encircle the assassins. However, now that the poisonous miasma had spread to the foot of the mountain, this method of encirclement was no longer feasible.
This seemed to be within Long Fei Ye's expectations. He didn't say anything. His deep eyes were like the sea, hiding the shadows of the mountains within. No one could tell what he was thinking.
Seeing that His Highness Duke of Qin didn't reply, Guard Shangguan resentfully glanced at Mu Qingwu.
Mu Qingwu frowned and tried to persuade, "Your Highness, the poisonous miasma won't disperse until tomorrow afternoon. Let's go back first."
He thought that when His Highness said to retreat, it meant to give up on the pursuit and wait for the assassins to come and demand a ransom.
He didn't expect that when His Highness said to retreat, it was only for his brothers to retreat. Based on the current situation, His Highness had no intention of giving up.
But even if they didn't give up, would they still be able to find the culprit?
After all, this area was surrounded by barren mountains with plenty of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects. Swamps were everywhere as well. Emperor Tianhui had once considered the safety of Tianning's capital city and sent troops to explore this area. Unfortunately, he'd always retreated in the face of difficulties and could only station troops to guard the outskirts.
Once the culprit escaped into the depths of the mountains, it'd be impossible to find him again.
"All of you can withdraw," Long Fei Ye finally spoke up, his voice even colder than the winds at the peak of the mountain.
Even Mu Qingwu didn't dare open his mouth to speak due to the faint coldness that kept him at arm's length.
He shot a look at Guard Shangguan before the two of them left resentfully.
After nightfall, the mountains were even more dangerous. Moreover, they couldn't see anything from here! What was the point of waiting here?
"What's wrong with His Highness?" Guard Shangguan didn't understand.
Victory and defeat were common occurrences in war. The assassins had only kidnapped the culprit without discussing any terms. It was still unknown who would win in the end. With His Highness Duke of Qin's personality, he shouldn't be reacting like this, right?
Moreover, the culprit wasn't anyone important. Wasn't it just Qin Wangfei? A woman who wasn't even welcomed into the gates by His Highness Duke of Qin himself.
"Maybe … maybe he's worried about esteemed wangfei."
All right, Mu Qingwu couldn't believe his own words.
Guard Shangguan's eyes widened at his words, his expression incredulous. He'd only seen His Highness Duke of Qin so angry because of the assassins' arrogance, not because he was worried about esteemed wangfei.
"Young General, this …"
Guard Shangguan was about to speak when Mu Qingwu waved a hand to stop the topic. Actually, he wasn't sure either.
That night, neither Guard Shangguan nor Mu Qingwu dared to sleep. They waited for His Highness Duke of Qin to return, but he didn't come back even after daybreak.
Huo Yang hadn't lied. This massive outbreak of mosquitoes had lasted the entire night and showed no signs of dispersing even after daybreak. It looked like they wouldn't disperse until noon.
The golden rays of the rising sun shone on Long Fei Ye's frosty face. He narrowed his eyes slightly and elegantly raised a hand to block the sunlight.
Less than two hours later, the sun rose and shone brightly over the entire mountain forest.
Overlooking the mountains at this time was a completely different scene compared to yesterday evening. At this time, it was obvious where the mosquito swarms were denser and where they were thinner.
Long Fei Ye's cold gaze swept over every inch of the mountain forest, as if he was searching for something. Guard Shangguan and Mu Qingwu had arrived a long time ago. They sat off to the side and watched, not daring to disturb him.
Finally, when it was close to noon, the sunlight became more and more intense. The dark patches in the mountain forest began to fade and the mosquito swarms began to disperse.
Tsing Yi and the others had long since abducted Han Yunxi and left the mountains that very night. They headed all the way north and entered an even more desolate mountain wilderness. There were no more mosquitoes around them.
At this time, Tsing Yi handed Han Yunxi over to the black-clothed masked assassin. She washed her face by a small stream and drank water.
Han Yunxi glanced at the sky and a sly smile appeared on her lips. She knew that this natural climate would cause the mosquito swarms to gather. At this time, the mosquitoes would begin to disperse.
The time had come!
She raised her head and faced the wind. Finding the direction of the wind, she released the medicinal powder that she had been holding tightly in her hand. Very quickly, the powder drifted southward with the wind. It was silent, colorless, and odorless.
After washing up, Tsing Yi walked over and used a lotus leaf to scoop some water to feed Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi didn't refuse and thanked her.
Tsing Yi didn't say anything. When she finished drinking, she grabbed her by the arm and prepared to leave.
"Can you at least let me drink a few more mouthfuls?" Han Yunxi asked pitifully.
"We can't stay here for long." Tsing Yi replied Coldly. She had been on high alert all this time because her opponent was the terrifying Duke of Qin of Tianning.
She naturally didn't dare to lower her guard against a duke that even her master feared.
"Just drink a few more mouthfuls of water. It won't take long. If I die of thirst, you guys …"
Before Han Yunxi could finish speaking, Tsing Yi ruthlessly dragged her away without another word.
Han Yunxi's little face sank. She wasn't going to give her time, was she? Hmph, then she could only play mengliao!
Tsing Yi dragged Han Yunxi along. From time to time, they would borrow strength from rocks and trees to shuttle through the forest at high speed. Han Yunxi's hand kept spilling medicinal powder, which was carried by the wind behind them.
Everything was carried out silently.
As more and more medicinal powder was blown away into the forest, the poison mosquitoes that were about to disperse sensed the fragrance. At first it was just a few, but soon it grew into a swarm. Gradually, it grew into a large swarm.
They gathered together and fought to be the first to snatch the medicinal powder particles in the air. These medicinal powder particles were absolutely attractive to the poison mosquitoes, so much so that it would cause them to fight and kill each other.
Long Fei Ye stood high on the peak of a mountain, watching the gradually dispersing shadows and the clear forest. Soon enough, he noticed a new swarm of shadows gathering in the north!
Leng Yi's lips curled into a perfect arc. His cold face finally broke into a smile. Very good, Han Yunxi. You really didn't disappoint your lordship!
Long Fei Ye didn't say a word. Hands behind his back, he lightly tapped the ground with the tips of his feet and flew off the cliff. His figure was graceful and nimble as he headed towards the black shadows in the north.
"Your Highness!" Mu Qingwu cried out in alarm, springing to his feet.
"The poison miasma hasn't completely dispersed yet!" Guard Shangguan was frightened as well.
