Chapter 86: It Was Him After All

As the powder scattered, the black-clothed men who had been charging forward all fell to the ground.

Rulan, who had been ready for a fight and a warm-up, was stunned by her mistress’s actions.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing!” Rulan recovered and shook her head with a smile. This was very much in line with her mistress’s personality – if something could be avoided, it would be.

A packet of poison, quick and efficient. However, she was a little itchy for a fight, what to do?

Just right, she could interrogate them and see if they were, as her mistress had guessed, sent by the second son of Duke Qin.

Rulan stepped forward and grabbed one of the men, then began to question him. However, this man was quite stubborn and refused to say anything.

Seeing this, Rulan turned to Yunzhi and asked, “Mistress, can I use force?”

“As you wish!”

With her mistress’s permission, Rulan didn’t hesitate, directly dislocating the man’s hand, saying, “I’ll give you another chance. Tell me, who is your master?”

The man in black glanced at Rulan, still keeping his mouth shut, determined not to speak.

Rulan was angry and beat him up again. Unfortunately, the man still wouldn’t speak, making her lose patience. She directly took out a poison that would make him suffer a living hell.

As soon as the poison was administered, the man couldn’t resist and confessed the person behind him.

As Yunzhi had guessed, these men were assassins secretly raised by the second son of Duke Qin, specifically for him to do some unspeakable things.

It turned out that Duke Qin had people from the second son of Duke Qin around him, so they knew about the darts and the note. The second son of Duke Qin felt that Yunzhi was being uncooperative, so he decided to kill her to eliminate any future trouble.

He felt that Yunzhi had ruined his plans by treating Qin Zhiye today, causing his years of scheming to be destroyed, making him extremely angry.

Yunzhi, after all, was a divine doctor, and he felt she was still useful, so he thought of giving her a warning first. If she was cooperative, then this time would be forgotten.

But who knew that Yunzhi was not only uncooperative, but also told Duke Qin about his warning. This made him furious, so he decided to kill Yunzhi.

Therefore, he sent people to follow Yunzhi and her maid. The reason why he didn’t attack in the night market was because there were too many people, and Yunzhi and her maid could easily escape.

But this place was different. There were no houses nearby, and there were large trees suitable for hiding along the road, which was also the only way back to their secret building.

Therefore, they had set up an ambush here early, waiting for the two of them to arrive and strike them down.

However, Yunzhi actually carried poison with her, leaving them no chance to even make a move.

“Mistress, it was him after all.”

“I knew it all along.” Yunzhi smiled. When she was at Duke Qin’s mansion, she had seen that Qin Zhiming was not someone to be trifled with. He would want to kill her to silence her, and it was also within her expectations.

After all, in this world, only she could save Qin Zhiye. Others couldn’t even tell he was poisoned. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have dragged on until now.

However, it had to be said that Qin Zhiye was lucky to have met her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to survive even three days and would have died.

“What should we do now? Kill them all?” Rulan looked at the man in black，killing them would be the easiest solution.

“Send them to Duke Qin.”

Hearing this, Rulan was a little reluctant, saying, “Mistress, you’re going the extra mile.”

“Who told them to pay so much?”
