After drinking cold wine and blowing the cold wind, although Ning Yao was not drunk, she still felt a little headache the next day. Ning Yao once again lamented that drinking was a waste of time and sat quietly downstairs in the inn waiting for Ouyang Xun to come down. She did not eat breakfast, but

Unable to withstand Xue Cheng's pressure, she ate the sweet porridge and egg and honey soup he made.

Zhennan Army's habit of eating only two meals a day is now well known to everyone, so Ouyang Xun was really shocked when he saw Ning Yao having breakfast after washing up and going downstairs. Xue Cheng naturally prepared it for him.

Because it was inconvenient for him to show up, he asked the waiter in the shop to bring it to him. Ouyang Xun only took a bite of the sweet porridge, and immediately looked around to find Xue Cheng, but in the end he was coldly greeted by Ning Yao.

The sound stopped the movement.

"There's no need to look for it. My brother won't show up. You just need to know that he can see you, but you can't see him."

This sentence made Ouyang Xun a little disappointed, but after just a moment, he returned to his normal appearance and ate everything quietly. The boy saw that they had finished eating and cleared the table, but Ning Yao hadn't gotten up yet.

means to leave.

Ouyang Xun originally wanted to ask why, but found that the store door had not been opened, and there was a man in black beside him at some point.

That person was Ning Yao's secret guard. Before Ning Yao could speak, he laid out the things he was looking for in this mission one by one. Ning Yao looked at the things and signaled the secret guard to retreat, but he just blinked at Ouyang Xun.

Suddenly, the man in black who suddenly appeared suddenly disappeared from sight. If it weren't for the embroidered handkerchief on the table, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"These embroidered handkerchiefs are not really good materials, but they still cost four cents." Ning Yao looked at the embroidered handkerchief carefully, and then looked at Ouyang Xun, "Four cents, those people will never spend four cents."

I have enough money to buy an embroidered handkerchief."

"Are these embroidered handkerchiefs made by the same person?" Ouyang Xun frowned, "It seems that these embroidered handkerchiefs were given by the same person."

Give the inconspicuous embroidered handkerchief to the target you have already identified, and then take action when you find an opportunity. If Ning Yao hadn't noticed that Sun Yanbing's embroidered handkerchief was incompatible with the things in her boudoir, I'm afraid Ning Yao would not have thought of this.

.This is obviously not the first time that the other party has done this. To achieve such a flawless thing, it seems that he has already become proficient at it.

But the more skilled you are, the more leak-proof you are. As long as you make the slightest mistake, your flaws will be revealed immediately. To let the other party reveal your flaws, in addition to forcing the other party, you have to reveal your own flaws and lure the other party to show up.

As the saying goes, a dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, but now the enemy is in the dark and the enemy is clear. Ning Yao cannot accurately persecute without an accurate target. In this case, only the latter is left. If she reveals her flaws, the other party will be anxious, and they will naturally take the bait.

.

They clung to Lu Jian simply because Lu Jian stood on their side when they were in Jincheng County. Those people didn't want her to be involved with Jincheng County, so she wanted Jincheng County to be controlled by her. They

Since she wanted to put Lu Jian to death, she followed their wishes.

So, without any warning, Ning Yao ignored Ouyang Xun's objections and put Lu Jian in jail. The other party believed that what he did was impeccable, and Ning Yao did not find any strong evidence. She put Lu Jian in jail, so she only

The real murderer knew that Lu Jian was wrongly accused.

In the dungeon, Ning Yao watched Lu Jian being stripped of his official uniform and wearing only his middle coat. His hands and feet were shackled, and he said nothing, just like a statue. Lu Jian looked at Ning Yao, a little disappointed in his eyes, but he opened his mouth and thought

He wanted to explain, but after seeing Ning Yao's very cold eyes, he couldn't say a word.

The jailer neatly placed Lu Jian's belongings on the tray for Ning Yao to see. Ning Yao only glanced at it, his eyes lingering on a sachet with a dark blue background and white peony embroidery for a moment, and finally opened it coldly.

mouth.

"This purse is quite unique."

After hearing Ning Yao's words, Lu Jian suddenly looked up at Ning Yao, his eyes full of surprise and doubt. However, when he saw Ning Yao's unchanging eyes, he allowed the light in his eyes to gradually dim, turning from waves to a pool of stagnant water.

No more disturbances.

"She gave this to me."

"Since ancient times, rings have been worn as a sign of love, and sachets have been used to convey feelings. Since you accepted this sachet, do you mean you are sincere?" Ning Yao sneered, "It's just a pity that King Xiang is interested, but the goddess is not."

After that, Ning Yao opened the sachet and took out a handful of medicinal materials inside. Then, Ning Yao took out his handkerchief, picked it up and down through the cloth, and took out a black pill.

When he handed it to Lu Jian, his tone was always cold.

"This thing is called Caojie Lead. It is produced in Lingnan and is also found in southern China. You should have heard of its other name, black tin. Yes, it is the black tin of the black tin pill that has the effect of dropping phlegm and killing insects."

"Without refining, this thing cannot become black tin. If you are exposed to it for a long time, you will be poisoned. The toxicity is very slow. After a while, you will have headaches, abdominal pain, nausea, and then you will be in a coma.

Died in his sleep." After saying that, Ning Yao threw the lead in his hand into the brazier, "It seems that the person you love wants you to die."

Ning Yao originally just wanted the other party to come to his door, but this discovery was really unexpected. How could Ning Yao give up such a good opportunity? Lu Jian will always know the truth by then. In this case, tell him in advance, and it will be a sure thing.

It's better to be out of his thoughts than to continue to be used.

Lu Jian didn't seem to calm down for a while. He stood there without saying anything. His eyes were empty and lifeless, like a dead thing. Ning Yao looked at him, sighed helplessly, and finally asked the jailer to take the

I gave him a quilt and left the dungeon with the courtesy of the jailer. I gave him careful instructions before leaving.

Lu Jian was imprisoned at Chenshi, but at three quarters of noon, someone came to the prison gate to plead with Ning Yao, saying that he believed Lu Jian had been wronged. Now that the weather was getting colder, he was afraid that he would be cold, so he wanted to give him a bed.

He also brought him a quilt and a jug of good wine to keep him away from the cold.

By coincidence, the person who came here had a relationship with Ning Yao. It was Sun Xiao, the embroiderer who had provided clues to help Ning Yao catch Taoyao. When he saw her, Ning Yao was a little confused.

, but the other party greeted her calmly, and she nodded towards her as a return salute.

"General Ning Yao, the Nu family believes that Lu Junling was wrongly accused, and we ask the general to investigate the case thoroughly."

Sun Xiao was already quite pretty, with a frail look, but now she was wearing a pink dress, which made her even more pitiful. Tears welled up in her eyes as soon as she said a word.

"For the sake of the people of Jincheng County, Ling Lu worked hard every day. He had no food and clothing, and his family was very poor. He was reluctant to take medicine when he was sick, and he suffered from all kinds of problems. He has done this for the people, and he is definitely not someone who can derelict in his duties.

."

"How do you know this?"

As she spoke, she took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, but before the tears fell from her eyes, Ning Yao spoke coldly, shocking her into a cold sweat. She was stunned for a moment, put away the handkerchief,

Make a shy look.

"The slave family is not talented, so they were favored by Commander Lu. They wrote a marriage certificate to the slave family and invited a matchmaker to come to the slave family's home to hire someone." As he said this, Sun Xiao couldn't help but laugh again, "The slave family and the county magistrate were in love with each other, so they also invited the general.

Complete."

"So, the sachet that he always wears close to his body was given by you?"

As she spoke, Ning Yao seemed to be smiling, but her emotions and anger were hard to hear. Sun Xiao couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and shook his head innocently. Seeing her denying it, Ning Yao stopped talking.

What did she say? Ouyang Xun happened to come to look for her. He hurriedly said that something happened to Yanchi and asked her to go back and check the situation.

Seeing that Ning Yao had other things to do, Sun Xiao on the side saluted Ning Yao's body and then walked towards the prison. Ning Yao had already given instructions to the jailer guarding the door, so Sun Xiao didn't waste much time.

Their energy bought them into prison.

Something happened to Yanchi again, which made Ning Yao a little irritable. She just frowned and was about to get angry, but Ouyang Xun's words calmed her down again.

"When the fifth prince heard that you had Lu Jian imprisoned, he hurriedly came to find you. But before he left the Yamen, he vomited blood and then fainted. After he fainted, he kept calling you.

"My name." Ouyang Xun seemed a little puzzled, and then said, "Brother Mingqian also asked me to go back to find you."

"Brother?" Ning Yao was very puzzled. Yanchi was fine, but even Xue Cheng wanted her to go back. Could it be that something big had really happened? However, since it was Xue Cheng's wish, she would go back and have a look.

.

When Ning Yao and Ouyang Xun walked to a street intersection, they were blocked by a group of men in black. The secret guards had been sent out by her to look for clues. Xue Cheng had to guard Yanchi and couldn't leave. Ouyang Xun didn't know martial arts.

And Ning Yao was recovering from a serious injury.

For Ning Yao, this is a dead move anyway.

But they forgot that Ning Yao was not only a general, she was also a doctor who was proficient in medical skills. Just a little bit of self-made incense could make them numb and weak, unable to use their inner strength, and they became useless.

They can't use their internal strength, so they can only compare their methods. They are killers who have been trained since childhood. They know where to attack most directly and effectively to take a person's life. But they have heard of Ning Yao's methods, even if they have intelligence

It means that Ning Yao can't use his inner strength at the moment. They are still a little afraid of Ning Yao and hesitate to step forward.

They were well-trained killers, and life and death were commonplace, but for some reason, Ning Yao just standing like that could awaken the fear in their bodies that should not have existed for a long time.

"I never expected that General Zhennan would use such despicable methods."

"It's easy to say, as long as we can achieve the goal, it doesn't matter what means we use." As he said that, Ning Yao put away the medicine bottle in his hand, "We are just each other."

"Even if we can't use our internal strength, it won't be a problem if we want to capture you two." The leading killer immediately tightened the knife in his hand, "We are born to kill, and besides, with our numbers, we can kill you.

, it’s just a matter of time.”

Having said that, when the leader arrived, the killer raised his knife and attacked Ning Yao. After all, he was still a killer who had been trained since childhood. Although he had no internal strength, every move was still full of murderous intent, and every move was deadly.

Although the killer's offensive is fierce, Ning Yao is also a person who survived the battle on the battlefield. Who can survive on the battlefield without fighting desperately? When facing the enemy, either you die or I die. Therefore, face to face.

Ning Yao also responded to the leader's assassin's attacks and blocked all his attacks one by one.

The assassins used water fighting to consume a lot of Ning Yao's energy. To protect Ouyang Xun and ensure that she would not be injured, she could only ask Ouyang Xun to hide, and then threw the black iron sword she was equipped with to him for self-defense.

He himself drew out the soft sword hidden at his waist.

Although Ning Yao has recovered a lot, he is still recovering from his serious injuries. It is gradually difficult to deal with the killer, and some flaws are exposed.

Naturally, the leading killer would not miss this opportunity and aimed at the flaw to deliver a fatal blow. Ning Yao had already sensed the danger and wanted to avoid it, but was blocked by other killers. Seeing that he was about to be injured again, at the critical moment

, it was a folding fan that blocked the fatal blow for her.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, we haven't seen each other for just a few days, and you've made me so embarrassed."

The folding fan hit the leader of the killer on the forehead hard, causing him to bleed immediately from all his orifices and fall to the ground. The folding fan flew up due to gravity, and then was caught by someone again, and was thrown away with a "swish" sound.

Immediately, a man in mysterious clothes appeared in front of Ning Yao, holding a folding fan with one hand on the back and the other. His eyes swept over the killers, and finally shook his head and chuckled, sighing helplessly, his voice full of

Disdain: "It's a bit unjustifiable to lose at the hands of these bastards."

"Don't talk sarcastically." Ning Yao frowned slightly, "Keep yourself alive."
