Chapter 404: Adding some trouble
Chapter 404: Adding some trouble
In the darkness, Jiang Lili held her breath.
The footsteps came from the front and side of the two people. It was obvious that someone returned to the basement through the two-way passage on the north side.
Then two male voices were heard talking, one rough and the other deep.
"Capturing so many doctors and sending them to the camp is exhausting!"
"Fortunately, after one day, these people finally came up with a solution. But what's worse is that today, the number of people suffering from vomiting and diarrhea in the military camp has increased by 700. What will happen if a war breaks out?"
"The princess herself was afraid of being infected by these soldiers, so she didn't dare to run to the military camp. She stayed outside the camp to understand the situation."
"The princess is worth a lot of money. I would not want to go to the military camp if I were her. Speaking of blacklisting, it was thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess's cleverness that she stored a large amount of herbs produced in the snowfields and rainforests in several warehouses. Otherwise, we would have to buy the herbs from the eldest prince now."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. The Seventh and Eighth Brothers are about to leave from Chunhui Pharmacy. Let's quickly count and move the herbs out. The driver is still waiting for us at the exit. Once we load these herbs onto the carriage, we can get some sleep. We haven't slept for a whole day and night."
"Okay, you go get the licorice and coptis root, and I'll get the nutmeg. Let's see who can carry the most at once!"
……
As they spoke, their voices grew closer.
Xin Che recalled the map and realized that to get to the place where the herbs were stored, he had to pass by where they were now.
Xin Che took out the silencer pistol that Jiang Lili gave him before they set off.
Then, he and Jiang Lili exchanged glances.
The two had agreed before coming that if they met someone in the basement, Jiang Lili would click the thunder recording to strike a thunder every five breaths.
Jiang Lili nodded and counted down with her fingers.
Five breaths later, a muffled thunder exploded in the huge basement.
"Boom——"
At the same time, Xin Che pulled the trigger.
"Damn, you scared me!"
The gruff voice shuddered at the thunder, "Is it raining outside? When I came back just now, it was cloudless outside and I could even see the stars."
After saying this, he suddenly realized that the companion walking beside him had fallen to the ground.
He exclaimed in disbelief, "Old Four, were you frightened to death by the thunder?"
The assassin squatted down to check on his companion, and when he reached out his hand, he felt a hot bloodstain. Before he could figure out how the fourth brother was injured, another thunder sounded the next moment!
The dead soldier fell on his companion.
Silence returned to the basement.
Xin Che turned the gun in his hand and put it back to his waist.
Jiang Lili finally breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "They just said they were here to transport the medicinal herbs. Could it be that they were sending them to the military camp in Haikui City?"
"It's very likely." Xin Che's eyes flashed with thought: "The driver is still waiting for them to move the goods in at the exit. If these two people don't come back for a long time, the driver will definitely be suspicious."
Jiang Lili seemed to have thought of something, and her tone was excited: "How about we do a good deed and send the herbs they need to the carriage?"
Xin Che knew that this wicked little fox in front of him would not be so kind-hearted. He squatted down and searched the two dead men whose bodies were still warm on the ground: "Tell me, is our good man going to add some laxatives or poison to these herbs?"
Xin Che saw through her little thoughts. Jiang Lili had a subtle feeling that her brain waves were in sync with Xin Che's. She blinked at him and said, "Rat poison."
Because rats are very cunning, many rat poisons are made colorless and odorless, so as not to easily arouse suspicion, and it is also difficult for ancient people to find out what kind of medicine it is.
"Another group of people set out from Chunhui Pharmacy. I know this place." Jiang Lili remembered that Shopkeeper Chen had told her that Chunhui Pharmacy was one of the few pharmacies that had no connection with the eldest prince. It turned out that it had a partnership with the second princess. "Why don't we notify Master Liao and have him tell the third prince to rob these herbs and create some trouble for the princess?"
Xin Che nodded in agreement: "Alright, I guess the obsessed Third Prince will praise Dabao's magic again by then."
Jiang Lili sent a message to Master Liao, relaying the situation. Master Liao was very happy to receive the news, as he could pretend to be an immortal again.
【@Master Liao: I have told Sheng Qingyun that he has already sent someone out to do the work. I asked him to leave some traces of the Grand Prince's faction at the scene.】
【@江麗麗: You are worthy of being me, Master Liao! 】
Xin Che found some hidden weapons and two specially made peony petal waist badges from the two men.
"The bodies of these two people..."
Jiang Lili looked at the two dead men on the ground. This group chat system cannot send living people, so what about the dead?
Jiang Lili nervously opened the red envelope and selected the two people on the ground. To his surprise, the next moment, the two people lying on the ground really disappeared, and a red envelope appeared in the group chat interface.
Jiang Lili felt that this should not be called a red envelope, but should be called a white envelope, which was strange to the underworld.
Xin Che glanced at Jiang Lili's petite figure and said, "Do you have insoles and shoulder pads to increase your height? You are even smaller than the short assassin just now. Our height difference will be too big and it will be easy to be noticed."
Jiang Lili was reminded by Xin Che and slapped her head. She quickly took out the props from her personal favorites and disguised herself.
After disguising themselves, he and Xin Che came to the entrance of the two-way passage on the north side. Jiang Lili took out the three medicinal herbs that had just been collected, namely licorice, coptis and nutmeg, from her personal collection, took out a spray bottle, mixed the rat poison with the ready-made water in the warehouse, and sprayed it evenly on the herbs.
After doing all this, Jiang Lili looked at the sacks of medicinal herbs on the ground and frowned, "I don't know how much they need."
Xin Che suggested: "Let's take out the herbs when we get close to the end of the passage, carry a few bags over first, and see how big the carriage is."
Jiang Lili nodded and put away the added herbs first: "Okay."
The two of them carried the medicinal herbs and walked along the northern passage. After about two cups of tea, they finally saw a ray of light. Jiang Lili took out all the sacks of medicinal herbs from her personal favorites.
Xin Che picked up four sacks of medicinal herbs and left the lighter licorice for Jiang Lili.
The two men came out of the passage carrying sacks and breathed in the fresh air. In front of them was a three-story attic building. Jiang Lili then discovered that the exit of this passage was actually hidden in the backyard of an inn. The door of the backyard was open and a carriage was parked at the door.
Xin Che took the lead and loaded the sacks onto the carriage in a hurry. The coachman was obviously afraid of the two assassins. He didn't dare to say a word from beginning to end, or even look at them directly. He just huddled in front of the carriage cowardly.
