a halt in front of the peddler's cart. Because An Xuetang dismounted so hurriedly, the peddler thought that she was displeased with his wares because they smelled bad.Besides, he had been chased down...Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

An Xuetang spent a whole quarter of an hour carefully searching, and finally she found a strange place.

She immediately took a knife from Yun Wu and cut open that piece of skin.

Yun Wu and Dr. Liu were stunned, to know that for the deceased, An Xue Tang's behavior was very disrespectful, how could she treat a deceased person like this

When Liu Langzhong reacted and wanted to speak out, at that very moment, An Xuetang suddenly found an extremely long silver needle.

!

Yúnwǔ and Liulang looked at each other, both of them were shocked to the extreme. There was such a long silver needle hidden inside the body of the deceased!

An Xuetang frowned, she looked at Liu Langzhong, "This man did not die from the plague, nor from poisoning, he died from this silver needle."

After saying that, An Xuetang didn't know what she was thinking. She immediately ran out, "Yun Wu, catch up quickly, go find the person guarding the city gate, old man you quickly find someone to protect yourself."

Liu Langzhong wanted to ask what happened, but An Xue Tang suddenly left this nonsensical remark and then just ran away

He didn't know what was wrong, but he instinctively followed An Xue Tang's arrangement.

After An Xue Tang and Yun Wu ran out, they went to the city gate.

Before they could even speak, a soldier guarding the city rushed over, his hands holding a bloody package.

"General Yunwu, this...this was thrown outside the city gate."

Yunwu looked at An Xue Tang and bowed, "Your Highness, perhaps you should avoid this for a while"

An Xuetang pursed her lips, "Open it."

"... "

Yun Wu was thinking that this package was dripping with blood. At a glance, he knew the contents couldn't be anything good. He was afraid it would dirty An Xue Tang's eyes.

As for Xue Tang's insistence, he had no choice but to open the gate for the soldiers.

A bleeding head, shattered limbs, bloody entrails...

Although An Xuetang was a killer, she had never seen such a bloody scene.

She walked across a mountain of corpses and blood, but at least those bodies were intact. Not like this... it's as if they were put through a meat grinder...

"Ugh~"

An Xuetang couldn't hold it in and ran aside to vomit a few times.

She tried hard to keep her cool, but even Yun Wu, who had seen a lot in his life, almost couldn't help but vomit.

Fortunately, he held back and quickly told the soldier to bury it. "Take it and bury it!"

"Yes! Ugh…"

Those soldiers had never seen such a scene before, they vomited even worse than An Xuetang.

An Xuetang took a moment to compose herself before recovering.

Yunwu saw that her face was pale and a little worried, "Your Highness, why don't I send you back to the camp to rest first You don't look well."

An Xuetang waved her hand, "It's nothing, who is responsible for managing the city gate, let him come over."

Yun Wu pursed his lips and quickly went to call someone.

Soon, Yunwu brought a middle-aged man rushing over. The man knelt down with a thud, "City Gate Captain Li An greets the Princess of Beijang."

"No need for pleasantries," An Xuetang said, getting straight to the point. "Can you perhaps tell me which soldiers were on duty at the city gate today, and which were responsible for burning the bodies"

Li An bowed and lowered his head, saying, "To the Princess Consort, all the guards at the city gate have a roster. If the Princess Consort wishes to summon them, I will arrange it immediately. However...a few of the gate guards have already left the city with His Royal Highness."

Hearing that some of the soldiers had already followed Mo Yunjing away, An Xuetang clenched her fists, her breathing visibly becoming agitated. Yun Wu, standing beside her, was very aware of this. Yun Wu frowned, feeling that the situation might be more serious than he had imagined.

"Go, summon them all. Remember, not a single one within the city's walls must be left behind."

Lee Ang bowed. "Yes, I will arrange it right away!"

Li An didn't know what this Northern Frontier princess wanted at all. He didn't dare to delay and hurried off to find someone.

After Li An left, Yun Wu looked at An Xue Tang, "Princess Consort, did you discover something Did the Prince encounter some trouble!"

An Xuetang's eyes, cold as a winter abyss, stared at the tightly shut city gate. "I can't be sure yet, but it's obvious that something happened today deliberately. The target is most likely Ah Jing."

And what she didn't say was, if this were truly as she imagined, then the person scheming against her family's Jing must be someone who knew them very well.

Today's bloody spectacle was staged to lure Mo Yunjing to that village

If that's really the case, how is her family doing right now

"Yunwu, you must hurry back to the camp and protect Zilong. None of you should leave the camp. Keep a watchful eye on everything inside at all times."

Yun Wu instantly changed his expression and bowed, "Your Highness, my elder brother is in the camp. My task is to protect you, so I cannot leave your side at this time."

"Yunwu, listen to me. I suspect that today's events were deliberately orchestrated to lure Ajing out of the city. But whether the intention is to harm him directly or to create a diversion, attacking the military while he is absent, we can't reach a definitive conclusion."

So now, listen to me. Go back to camp and tell Yunyi my guess. Tell the army to always be on guard against enemy ambushes. Most importantly, protect Zilong well. This might not be ruled out by people from the capital coming to take Jinghe and Zilong's lives.

"But Your Highness, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving you alone here."

An Xuetang suddenly revealed the green snakes that were entwined around her wrist, causing Yun Wu to take a step back in fright.

Anshe Tang curled her lips, "You don't have to worry about me here. Want my life It won't be easy. Don't dawdle, return to camp quickly!"

After she finished, she took out a jade pendant from her waist, "This is an order!"

" "

She had even taken out her jade pendant, so Yun Wu naturally couldn't say anything more. All he could do now was leave.

Ang Lee quickly gathered those people together, making over thirty in all.

An Xuetang observed them thoughtfully for a moment, then said, "Today's those who participated in guarding the gate and burning the body, step forward two steps."

As soon as she spoke, five people from the group took two steps forward.

Lee Ang watched silently from the side, completely unaware of what An Xue Tang was trying to do.

An Xue Tang's eyes lingered meaningfully on the five of them for a few seconds, then she walked towards them step by step.

"Hold out your hand, palm up."

Those five people instinctively reached out their hands, palms up.

An Xuetang walked back and forth in front of the five of them. After three rounds, she smirked at one of them who was slightly shorter, "It's winter, are you hot You've sweated so much"

Ang Lee narrowed his eyes, he looked at the soldier and reprimanded him, "The princess is asking you a question, are you deaf Don't you kneel down and answer the princess's question"

The man knelt with a thud, "Forgive me, Your Highness. This humble servant... this servant was simply... too afraid."

"What are you afraid of Afraid that I'll find out what you've done"

That person knelt, their upper body prostrate on the ground, “S-small one doesn’t understand what the Princess means.”

An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile, then her eyes turned cold. She suddenly kicked him away and stomped on his chest, "Say, why did you do this Who sent you Who are you working for"

An Xuetang's sudden change surprised everyone present. Li An was even more shocked, walking up to An Xuetang and saying, "My Queen, is there something wrong with this person"

Before An Xuetang could say anything, the person who had suddenly fallen to the ground changed his eyes to a fierce look and struck An Xuetang with his palm.

An Xuetang instantly sprang back, luckily her speed was fast enough to barely dodge.

This man had profound inner strength. When Li An saw this man make a move against An Xue Tang, the general immediately drew his sword and fought him.

All the others drew their swords, but An Xue Tang stopped them. She snatched a long sword and spear from some of them.

An Xuetang's pretty and moving face had no trace of blood color. She quickly rushed over, teaming up with Li An to deal with this person.

This man wanted to fly away, and the agile Li An immediately leapt up to stop him.

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, rushing towards him the instant he landed. The two engaged in a flurry of sword and blade strikes.

Perhaps that person also realized that An Xuetang was only good at close-quarters combat, so he always deliberately kept some distance from her.

An Xuetang curled her lips, letting out a soft hum. The green snake on her wrist suddenly flew out, biting the man's eyeball with pinpoint accuracy.

An Xuetang closely followed, and before he could react, she and Li An flanked him, one striking his wrist and the other his leg.

This person instantly lost their ability to attack, and Li An quickly had the two others come over and restrain them.

"This man's hands don't look like they're used to wielding swords or guns all the time. They seem more like they belong to someone who practices swordplay. Plus, his psychological fortitude is lacking. He was just exposed and that's why he's sweating so much. I think he's afraid I don't know what he's done."

"Your Highness, he... who exactly is he What did he do"

"An Xuetang pursed her lips. "Do all the people lining up to enter the city today have to be searched by the soldiers at the gate"

"Yes."

"Then it's settled! This man snuck into the ranks of the city guards and took advantage of the search to attack today's citizens entering the city. He has some knowledge of medicine and knows which acupuncture points can kill a person. He used slender silver needles to kill those civilians. If I'm not mistaken, he definitely volunteered to burn those bodies."

Li An looked at the other person, who immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness is right. After the king ordered the bodies to be burned, this man took the initiative to find me and asked me to arrange for him to do this job."

An Xue Tang curled her lips into a sneer, "Because those dead bodies have silver needles in them. If he doesn't go with them to dispose of the needles, Doctor Liu will surely guess the cause of death just by seeing them."

I see!

After hearing An Xuetang's words, Li An seemed to understand. He frowned and looked down at the man on the ground, his voice cold, "Who are you"

That man suddenly burst into laughter, "Who I am doesn't matter, what matters is...your King of the Northern Border is already dead, hahahahaha!"

An Xuetang's face turned cold, she walked over and stabbed him with her sword, "Who sent you Speak!"

This man just let out a few laughs, then committed suicide by biting his tongue. An Xue Tang wanted to stop him, but it was too late!

An Xuetang frowned, "Which village did the Prince go to Send someone to find him with me immediately!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! of the bed, "You were really woken up by your older brother"Mo Yunjing had a smile on his lips, but he didn't answer the question. Instead, he said, "Since the food is ready, why don't you go eat wit...
