While speaking, Leng Shuang couldn’t help dragging the corner of her mouth down. Qin Yunuan saw much from her eyes. Now, Leng Shuang didn’t know how to express her feelings. “I visited him once in the afternoon. I know his condition well, but it doesn’t matter. All of us know that he is Heiying, so it doesn’t matter whether he can recover or not. I’ll wait for him to recover and take good care of him. Madam, don’t worry.”

Qin Yunuan put on a bitter smile and waved her hand. Rare rhino horns were placed at her hand. She picked up one causally and rubbed it in a seemingly unintentional way. “We’d better stay positive. I’ll try my best to treat them, Mu Qingyu and Heiying, and never give them up. But I’m not very skilled yet because I only learned the leech-craft from Doctor Sun for a short period. I want you to go back to the Royal City and send a letter to invite Doctor Sun here. If he comes here, Heiying and Mu Qingyu will both recover soon.”

Now, it was time for Qin Yunuan to wait for enemies to fall into her traps and capture them, but she should send Leng Shuang away with an excuse. Leng Shuang paused but didn’t give it a second thought. She took the letter on the table and left.

Seeing Leng Shuang walking away, Qin Yunuan exerted some strength. Then, that rhino horn in her hand was smashed, and the powder fell to the ground. Suddenly, she heard several gentle knocks, three quick ones, three slow ones and two quick ones. She raised her pretty eyebrows. This was a secret signal, meaning that the spy in the camp was captured.

At the moment, in the woods, Leng Changxi sat high on a tall jujube-red horse, followed by over 100 armed soldiers from the Leng Army. Although so many soldiers, all with weapons in their hands, stood together, their weapons didn’t bump against each other. It could be told that how well-trained they were. They were the most skilled.

Leng Changxi tilted his head a bit and looked at the man who got stuck in the trap and couldn’t move. This was the shortest path from Ping Town to the Royal City. Leng Changxi had long expected that the spy Qin Yunuan suspected would choose this path to run away or send messages out. So they just placed some simple traps here and captured him easily. Yes, they captured him easily, so easily.

Leng Changxi held the rein, so the horse turned to where traps were placed. He waved his hand to tell soldiers to move there.

There were full of thorns in the trap so the man in it was covered with wounds now. He dared not to move. Leng Changxi stood near the trap with the rein in his hand and looked down at that man who he was very familiar with and who was in a totally mess now.

“General Tuoba, you seem in a good mood.” Leng Changxi merely said a few words, and he sounded indifferent and provocative.

Tuoba Wuyu was tall and strong. That trap seemed to be designed for him. He was stuck in the 1-meter trap in casual wear. There was a brown package near his feet. He looked like a fugitive.

“Such being the case, I think you won’t believe in me no matter what I explain,” Tuoba Wuyu said. He was covered with blood. Those small but sharp thorns stabbed him into his flesh. Although it wouldn’t kill him, it made him lose a lot of blood and look pale.

“Pull him out of the trap,” Leng Changxi ordered soldiers next to him. Then several soldiers quickly put on golden-thread gloves to push thorns aside and pulled heavily injured Tuoba Wuyu out. Given Leng Changxi’s personality, he would definitely kill Tuoba Wuyu with solid evidence in his hand now. But strangely, he was not in a hurry to kill him.

Leng Changxi took down the spear he put behind his back and pointed it at Tuoba Wuyu’s chest. “General Tuoba, I trust you very much, because His Majesty picks you up to work with me, and because you are the general of soldiers in black armor, also because you are loyal, brave and resourceful. But now, it seems I misjudged you.” Leng Changxi pushed the spear, so it was closer to Tuoba Wuyu. “I don’t know why but I always misjudged people these days. Do you think so?”

When speaking, Leng Changxi turned his head to the right rear. He should be speaking to Tuoba Wuyu, but he seemed to speak to another person.

“Are you not tired of lying on the branch?” Leng Changxi suddenly looked back and threw the black-iron spear at a 100-year-old pine tree behind him. The spear brushed with the trunk and stabbed into a short and crooked tree behind. He was intentional, and he just wanted to force the man on the tree to jump down.

With a clear crack made by the broken branch, a tall and agile martial artist who had bright eyes jumped down. He covered his upper face with the black cloth.

But strangely, he looked familiar.

Leng Changxi turned around. Right at this time, Qin Yunuan who waited in the camp arrived together with Yuanyang. Yuanyang pulled out Leng Changxi’s spear and handed it over to him.

There was something unspeakable in Qin Yunuan’s eyes. She had stared at the man in black for long and said, “I sent Leng Shuang away with an excuse for fear that you are the spy. After all, we saw you as our company before.”

“Company?” The man in black turned around a bit and smiled. “That’s just your wishful thinking. I only work for myself.”

“Heiying,” Leng Changxi called the man in black who stood near the tree in a cold voice. His vague words sounded ghostly. Leng Changxi seldom trusted people. Among his men, Leng Wu was the first one he trusted. Heiying was a relatively trustworthy company. But unexpectedly, such a company was lying to him at the very beginning.

“You are truly something,” The man in black walked out calmly and took off the cloth that covered his face. His handsome and clear-cut face echoed with his name, Heiying. He was like an unpredictable eagle. You thought you had tamed him but only found that he would never settle down to stay loyal to just one master.

Heiying strode out and took a look at Tuoba Wuyu who was covered with blood. “You’re impressive too, good at the ruse of hurting yourself to let my guard down. Leng Changxi, when did you find out I was the spy? When I came back alive after fighting against Yu Haitang?”

What Heiying worried most was that he would be seen through by Leng Changxi after he confronted with Yu Haitang alone. Because his meridian remained intact after the serious injury. He just pretended to be heavily injured. He was so good at this that even Leng Shuang and Qin Yunuan didn’t find anything wrong. He couldn’t figure out when he gave himself away.

“I started to suspect you right after you came to the camp,” Leng Changxi said while looking at Heiying indifferently. He had investigated Heiying’s origin before. Heiying indeed was a descendant of the Cang Family, but his family didn’t have very deep hatred against the Xu Family. They had reconciled with each other since the last generation. So, when Heiying showed his changing attitude towards Xu Ji, Leng Changxi started to pay attention to his behavior. As he expected, Heiying truly had spared no effort to plot against Sima Ray and was nice to Leng Shuang. However, that couldn’t change the fact that he was a spy and not in his camp.

He did all these good things just to earn the trust of Leng Changxi and other people.

“Aren’t you sorry for Leng Shuang?” Yuanyang couldn’t help scolding him for Leng Shuang. “She trusts you so much, but you should take advantage of her. You’re not a man.”

“Not a man?” Heiying raised his eyebrows and put on a naughty smile. He looked as if he was sneering at what Yuanyang said. “You’re right. I’m not a man.” Then he suddenly turned his head, and he should look a bit charming. Leng Changxi had spent much time in the royal palace, so he knew that was what eunuchs usually did.

Qin Yunuan also noticed that. Taking a closer look at him, she found that he truly looked handsome and had the Adam’s apple. But it only meant he became a eunuch after 16. He turned out to be a eunuch. No wonder, he was responsible for protecting the emperor in Qi and stayed in the palace all the time. If he were a true man, the emperor wouldn’t feel relieved to let him stay in the palace.

“Ho, you are a eunuch,” Leng Changxi said with disdain, but Heiying didn’t care. “So what? Even a eunuch fooled you.”

“What can you get to help Sima Ray?”

“Nothing,” Heiying smiled with his eyebrows raised, looking totally different from the previous righteous Heiying. “But, I just don’t want to take orders from others anymore. He offers me a lot, so I agree to work with him. That’s it. Nothing big deal.”

“It’s you who send those messages out, right?”

“But,” Heiying smiled at Leng Changxi coldly, “Those were what you wanted me to send out, right? You had carefully fabricated all messages I got and sent out, hadn’t you?”

“General, no need to talk to him. Let’s directly kill him,” Tuoba Wuyu bit the bullet and shouted loudly while covering his wound.

“Not in a hurry,” Leng Changxi waved his hand. Heiying still could help him with something. But suddenly, a long soft sword quickly flew to Heiying and directly stabbed him into his chest hard. Ordinary people couldn’t be that skilled and good at shooting. The soft sword swayed after stabbing Heiying. Qin Yunuan recognized that sword. It was the crape myrtle soft sword, a weapon of Leng Shuang.

Qin Yunuan was surprised, and then she saw Leng Shuang, who should be on her way to send the letter, standing on a branch on the other side. She jumped down with a poker face. The light purple dress hemline flew up and covered the corner of her mouth so that people couldn’t tell whether she was angry or not.

“Leng Shuang, how dare you hurt him without my permission?” Qin Yunuan tried to calm Leng Shuang down. The latter had pulled out the soft sword in Heiying’s chest and raised her arm, ready to stab him again. How much she loved him before meant how much she hated him now. Moreover, Heiying was the first man Leng Shuang fell in love with. But he was just taking advantage of her.

“Leng Shuang, come back,” Qin Yunuan shouted in a cold voice. At this time, Yuanyang said when pointing at Heiying, “Madam, he is vomiting blood. It seems that he wants to kill himself.”

Qin Yunuan stepped forward and grabbed his chin, trying to make him swallow the poison in his mouth as less as possible. “He’s not killing himself.” With just a glance, Qin Yunuan figured out what happened. “He was poisoned. Sima Ray did this, if I am right.”
