Chapter 388 The Dead

As soon as the young man followed the Miao people with his guards, two Miao people emerged and approached the stilt house where Bai Tangling lived.

There are four guards in the stilt house, two guards patrolling and guarding under the stilt house. At the gate of the stilt house, one guard stood straight in front of the door, very alert, and another guard was guarding near Bai Tangling.

Seeing Miao people coming, a guard patrolling downstairs had moved to the edge of the stairs and looked at him coldly.

"The Marquis has an order. In order to ensure the safety of the magistrate Bai County, no one is allowed to approach." The guard said coldly, and his hand was always pressed on the hilt of the knife.

The Miao man in front gave a salute, turned around and pointed at a Miao man in his fifties behind him and said, "This is a witch doctor in the village. County Magistrate Bai's injuries are treated by him. He will come to change the medicine tonight."

"Change the dressing?"

The witch doctor looked solemn and coughed. The Miao man smiled and said, "Mr. Bai's injury has not fully recovered. If it is not handled properly, the old injury may recur at any time." He pointed to a small wooden box held by the witch doctor, "This is the herb made by the witch doctor. I heard that the witch master will leave the village tomorrow, so medicine must be applied tonight."

The guard said Leng Bingbing, "No need, go down the mountain tomorrow and there will be a doctor changing the medicine for the Bai County Magistrate."

"We just met the Marquis on the way here." The Miao people frowned and said, "The Marquis knew that we were here to apply medicine, and told us to be careful, so why don't we let the medicine be applied now? The witch doctor is the most clear about the injury of the County Magistrate Bai. There is no mistake at all. If the old injury recurs in the future, our village cannot afford it."

The Miao man in front smiled and said, "This is also for the sake of County Magistrate Bai's health. Please ask the guard to let us in."

The guard frowned, thought for a while, pointed at the witch doctor and said, "You go in, go in alone." Looking at the Miao Ren who was talking, "You are waiting here."

The witch doctor was not long-winded and carried a small wooden box to the stilt house.

The Miao people waited outside the stilt house for a long time, but they never saw the witch doctor coming out. The guard was also confused and shouted at the stilt house: "Have the medicine been applied?"

But he didn't listen to the voice inside to agree. The guard frowned, and another guard also approached and whispered: "There is no movement in the room. Is there something wrong?"

"It won't be a problem." The Miao man smiled and said, "The witch doctor's medical skills are very good, but it only takes a little time to apply medicine."

One of the guards frowned, and at this moment, he heard a "pop" sound from the room, just like the sound of a bamboo tube bursting. Both guards were stunned. One of them winked. The other guard jumped up, stepped on the stairs twice and then went upstairs. He pushed the door in and suddenly heard a scream: "No, something happened!"

The escort downstairs changed his face. Just as he was about to step forward, he saw the Miao man approaching nervously and said, "What's going on?" Before the escort could speak, he felt the cold air. The Miao man suddenly looked fierce. There was a dagger in his hand. He quietly stabbed towards the escort.

The guard was quick to react. He immediately turned around and took advantage of the opportunity to draw out the knife. Seeing dozens of figures appearing from the darkness, he knew something was wrong and said sternly: "Kill Bai Tangling!" He waved the knife and slashed at the Miao people.

The Miao man was not weak. He flashed sideways and stabbed the dagger in his hand again. At this moment, he heard a woman's voice saying, "Don't let them escape, everyone rushed forward." A graceful and agile figure rushed over like a spirit swallow, holding a scimitar in his hand, swinging his sword to slash at the guard, which was Yifu.

The guard was really good at fighting against two, and he was not at a disadvantage. He saw that there were more and more Miao people. In the blink of an eye, several people rushed over, knowing that there was a lot of bad luck and shouted sternly: "We are the people of the Jinyi Hou. You dare to attack us. You really want to rebel."

Yifu slashed over with a knife and sneered, "Minister of Jinyi? If you are really the one in Jinyi, now put down your weapons, we will never hurt you."

The guard ignored it, jumped back and jumped up the stairs. Yifu rushed forward and slashed continuously. The guard blocked Yifu's scimitar, turned around and rushed to the door, kicked open the door, but saw that two of his three companions were lying on the ground without moving. The remaining one waved the knife to chase the witch doctor who had entered the room before. The witch doctor looked like a ghost. Although the room was not spacious, the witch doctor flicked left and right, free and light, and his body was extremely casual.

The guard ignored everything else and looked at a bamboo bed in the house, but found that the quilts were all there, but there was no one in the quilts. Bai Tangling, who should have been lying on the bamboo bed, disappeared.

The guard was shocked, but before he could think too much, the sword wind was whispering behind him, and Yifu had already snatched it with several Miao people.

The guard had already understood the trap at this time, but he couldn't figure out why Bai Tangling disappeared.

"puff!"

The guard suddenly felt a numbness on his arm and was startled. At this time, he saw several Miao people outside the door holding bamboo crossbow arrows. He felt cold in his heart. He looked down and found a tiny bamboo arrow shot into his arm.

The Miao people were good at poisoning. The guards saw that their arm was shot by bamboo arrows and their faces changed suddenly. At this time, they heard a "bang" sound. From the corner of their eyes, they saw a shadow flying towards him, trying to dodge, but the shadow was too fast. As soon as his feet moved, the shadow had already hit him heavily. The two of them collided and fell into a ball.

But it turned out that the witch doctor found a gap in the dodge, took the opportunity to take action, and punched the guard in the chest. The punch was very powerful, and the guard flew over and collided with his companions.

The two wanted to get up, but Miao people had already rushed forward and put a scimitar on their necks. The two looked at each other, and their eyes showed a ruthless look. The witch doctor saw it and seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful that they committed suicide." Everyone was stunned, but they saw that the two guards' faces turned black in an instant, black blood overflowed from the corners of their mouths, and their bodies fell down.

The witch doctor frowned, and Efu went forward and dipped the blade into blood. The blood was stained on the blade, and even the blade turned black in an instant, saying in horror: "What a powerful poison."

Doctor Wu said: "They are dead soldiers and have been prepared for failure long ago. The poison should be in their mouths. If they fail, they will commit suicide at any time." He sneered and said: "They committed suicide, naturally to ensure that they will not be interrogated and confessed." He pointed to the other two guards who were lying motionless on the ground and said: "They are the same."

"Marty, they..." Yifu looked at the witch doctor: "They also committed suicide?"

The witch doctor raised his arm and took off the beard from his mouth. It turned out that the beard was stuck, but the night was dark. In addition, he was wearing Miao clothes and deliberately bent his body. At first glance, he looked like a young Miao man. Moreover, before entering the building, he did not say a word from beginning to end, so naturally he would not be able to see the flaws by the guards because his voice was too young.

This witch doctor was naturally dressed up by Qi Ning.

Qi Ning took a knife from a Miao man, walked to the two men and squatted down, and turned one of them over with the knife. The man's face turned black and he had already died and could not die again.

"After I came in, I cast the ones you gave me." Qi Ning explained: "These two were guarding the house, one of them was a few steps away from Bai Tangling, and they were so close. Fortunately, we didn't force us to break in, otherwise Bai Tangling would definitely die when there was any movement. These people were always on guard and very careful." After a pause, they smiled coldly and said: "They were staying in the mountains for two days. Fortunately, your brother had always treated them as the waiter of the brocade and treated them sincerely. These people thought they had succeeded, and they still relaxed some of their guards. They never expected that we would come back suddenly, so when I took it out, they just thought I was really applying medicine to Bai Tangling, and they were hit unknowingly."

Ef said: "In fact, this is also used to treat diseases. Some serious illnesses require a knife, and the flesh and blood body is unbearable. Using this, people can fall into a deep sleep and lose consciousness, and their bodies have no feelings. After they are unconscious, they will not feel pain."

"Oh?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "This is similar to Ma Fei San." I thought this kind of purpose is quite good, so I could look for Heiyan Cave to ask for some to take it back, and stood up and said, "But after these two people were poisoned, they must have felt something strange. They wanted to warn the outside world, but they were too late because their bodies were already poisoned, and they were worried that they would become our prisoners. Before they fell, they committed suicide by breaking the poison."

Ifu saw that the four guards were corpses in an instant, and she felt a little furious, and frowned and said, "When these four people committed suicide, they did not hesitate, they were really cruel."

"The ones sent to the mountain must be dead soldiers." Qi Ning sneered: "Their hearts are as hard as stone and well-trained, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can train. It seems that the real murderer behind it is even more difficult than we think."

When Yifu thought about it, she couldn't help but pat her chest lightly. Her plump breasts trembled a few times, and she whispered: "Mr. Marquis, fortunately you had a plan, otherwise these desperado people wouldn't even care about their own lives. If they wanted to kill Bai Tangling, they would definitely not blink."

"No one wants to die if he can survive." Qi Ning glanced at several corpses, "These people didn't expect that it would be the result, otherwise Bai Tangling would have died thousands of times in their hands." Suddenly, he thought of something, walked to the corner of the house, pried open a floor with a knife, and Yifu had already approached, looked down, and shouted at the bottom: "Is County Magistrate Bai okay?"

Someone here has agreed: "It's okay, don't worry, County Magistrate Bai is safe and sound."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Fortunately, the Miao family's stilt houses have such a good place. Even if the wooden building is surrounded, you can go down from the house without realizing it. I tied Bai Tangling with a rope and put it down from here. He should be fine, just rest assured."

"The house of our Miao family is different from that of your Han family." Yifu knew that Bai Tangling was safe and sound, so she breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile: "Just like our Miao girl, we are different from your Han girl."
