546 Death of Guest

Rongge rubbed her forehead and sighed, instructing Li Hui to go out.
Yuan Lin said, "Can Li Hui handle it?"
"If he can't, there's nothing we can do," Rong Ge grabbed Yuan Lin and said, "I don't know if what he said about the strength of the toxic powder is true or false. Let's go back the way we came and inform Qiao Er and Yi Nian."
They both worked hard and went back the same way as before.
At the same time, Li Hui went up to the third floor. The falconer was dozing off while guarding the falcon. The falcon's eyes were as sharp as knives. According to the barbarian, it could see a distance of a thousand miles and was also very formidable at sea.
Li Hui can't get close at all. The eagle flapped its wings and let out a cry, instantly waking the eagle servant.
Li Hui stood frozen in place, full of energy. The eagle servant glanced at him coldly, recognizing this Grand Minister of the Great Zhou. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Senior Minister Li, it's so late. Is there something you need?"
Li Hui panicked before she could organize her words. She felt extremely sad and wondered why her luck was so bad. But retreating now would be even worse, so she made up her mind and told a clumsy lie, "Gentlemen, let me take a look at the eagle."
"Sir" is a respectful title for the barbarians on the ship, who insist on pretending to be somewhat like the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but end up looking ridiculous.
The eagle slave clearly didn't believe it and said, "Aren't they all asleep? Why would Minister Li come at such a late hour!"
Eagle slave stared at Li Hui warily, glanced at his own spirited eagle, grinned wickedly, and emphasized, "How about I take you to meet the gentlemen right now?"
As he spoke, he gestured to lift up Li Hui. Li Hui clenched the medicine packet in his palm, sweating profusely.
He really couldn't do anything.
In an instant, Li Hui already imagined his own death. It was as if he had fallen into an abyss and was about to die on this ship sinking in the vast sea.
The slave eagle showed its yellowed teeth under the candlelight, as if it intended to tear trembling Li Hui to pieces.
At a critical moment, chaos broke out outside for unknown reasons, and a disciple of Tianya Pavilion shouted, "Stop them!"
The muffled sound of impact stunned the falconer, and he looked at Li Hui with a cold expression, asking, "What's going on?"
He had a heavy Tatar accent, speaking awkwardly and unpleasantly. Although Li Hui didn't know exactly what had happened, he knew it was related to Rongge. With a brave face, he said, "It seems like something has happened. The gentlemen have changed the plan and want to release the falcon to send a message tonight."
"Now?" The falconer stared at him.
"Right away, on the ship... someone might have leaked our whereabouts, the gentlemen are drunk, they sent me to find you and release the falcon," Li Hui nodded.
The falconer pushed Li Hui aside, crawled down the stairs to listen, the commotion growing louder and more restless.
"What's going on?" Yingle shouted, but no one answered him. Instead, he heard his own falcon screeching, and when he turned his head, he saw that Li Hui had already bumped into the falcon cage, with one hand already reaching inside.
"You bitch!" Eagle Slave became furious, angered by Li Hui's behavior of seeking death. He used foul language with little decency from the Zhou Dynasty and shouted sharply, "What are you doing!"
Li Hui didn't dare to turn around. He quickly sprinkled the medicine given by Rong Ge on the eagle's body, and finally hid the letter in a small bamboo joint when Eagle Slave's palm was about to strike.
The Eagle Slave was ruthless in his attack, and he could see through Li Hui's deceitful intentions. Li Hui was almost knocked over and his chest trembled, causing him to cough up blood.
Just at this moment, the sound from outside finally broke through the sky and reached their ears.
The disciple of Tianya Pavilion roared angrily, "Someone has touched the Hell's Temptation!"
"Damn it!"
"... There are spies on the ship!"
As soon as the word "spy" was uttered, the falcon slave felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He rushed up and kicked Li Hui twice, nauseatingly cursing, "You cattle of Da Zhou, I'll throw you off now!"
The spy is a minister sent by the Emperor of Da Zhou as a "ally" for negotiation. The falconer seems to see the ugliness of Da Zhou through Li Hui, and he wants to kick the spy out.
More importantly, Li Hui must have tampered with the falcon. With almost no effort, the falconer easily took hold of the dying Li Hui and turned to look at the falcon.
The cage has been opened, and the eagle is obviously agitated, shaking its head and flapping its wings, eager to fly out.
With all his strength, Li Hui grabbed the leg of the eagle master who was moving forward, and said with difficulty amidst the blood in his mouth, "You are the beasts! I am not..."
Yingnu kicked him again, causing Li Hui's vision to blur and the blood he spat out to change color, but his hands still clung tightly to Yingnu.
"You're seeking death!" Yingnu angrily exclaimed, "You treacherous slave! Even the eagles of the desert are under your control. The ruler of the desert should never have trusted you despicable people. Go die!"
Li Huiqiang, with his eyelids propped up, showed a heroic national will at the brink of death. "What desert monarch... has been submissive to the feet of the Great Zhou for generations, relying on the Great Zhou's charity to survive? How dare they! Climb up..."
"Animal! What did you say?"
This touched the bottom line of the Eagle Slave. His tall figure pressed down like a mountain, and Li Hui couldn't even see the light above his head. The Eagle Slave hooked up Li Hui with his toes, not only wanting to kill him, but also wanting to feed him directly to the eagle.
"The Da Zhou people who can prosper in every situation!"
"Dirty!"
"A chaos erupted outside, as panicked disciples of Tianya Ge shouted, 'It's not right, they've gone mad!'"
"Stop them!" someone screamed, "They are heading towards the lower cabin, we mustn't let them touch Hell's Seductress!"
One word at a time, intermittently poured into the ears, barely allowing people to piece together, someone put Hell's Lure in the drinks, several barbarians and others were affected, there is no antidote, the poisoned ones can only see "paradise" in their eyes, eternal paradise.
They rushed madly towards their own heaven, sniffing out the intoxicating fragrance of the hellish flower from the chilly sea breeze. It was a paradise more mesmerizing than the waves of the ocean. They turned bloodthirsty, seeking only to drown in the waves of pure bliss.
The eagle slave roared and grabbed Li Hui, slamming him onto the table. Li Hui desperately clawed at the nearby eagle cage, causing the cage to shake and tip over in all directions. One of the eagle's wings had already spread out.
The falconer whistled, trying to make the eagle go back, but the eagle was drugged by Rongge and didn't listen to him at all.
Li Hui shouted hoarsely, "I must accomplish...this matter, for all the hardships I have faced in my life, for Da Zhou!"
He tried his best to overturn the falcon cage and let the falcon soar, but the falconer had boundless strength and instantly grabbed hold of the falcon's foot.
All he needed to do was to kill Li Hui right now, tears welled up in Li Hui's eyes, and the waves crashed against the boat, intertwining with the endless darkness of the night.
"Dog!"
The falconer gritted his teeth and said, "Dare to touch my falcon..."
"Yes!"
The falconer tightened his grip around Li Hui's neck, but suddenly his hand loosened and his strength slowly drained away. Li Hui raised his head with a mottled gaze, and before him stood Rong Ge, half of her clothes covered in blood. The disguise she used to conceal her true appearance was also splattered, but Li Hui couldn't see how much. The flickering light and shadows illuminated her.
Rongge didn't know where to pull out a knife, slowly walked in, wiped off some sweat, and pulled out her silver needle from the back of Eagle Slave's neck, saying recklessly, "Now it's my eagle, it only listens to my commands."
The falcon slave didn't know what Rongge had used on him. Half of his body had already gone numb within a breath, and he could only painfully shift his eyes. "Who are you, it's impossible."
Rongge didn't waste any more words with him. She stabbed a knife into his back, and didn't even pull it out.
It's impossible. The medicine she used on the falcon was developed after dozens of failed attempts. I don't know how many times she risked her life to test it.
If it wasn't effective at all, she wouldn't dare take a chance.
“砰——”一声重响，鹰奴倒了下去。
压住李晖半个身子，李晖呼吸不上来，他咳了两声，嘴里的血倒流进了眼里，让他愈发的看不清容歌。
Rongge did not reach out to pull him, but just breathed and watched the eagle fly away.
"Go, find the reinforcements from the North Desert Army."
It is not far from the North Desert here. With the speed of the eagle, it can be discovered by the North Desert Army in less than one night.
Hopefully, they will hurry and come.
Li Hui coughed up blood again, possibly due to a confused state of mind, and muttered, "Galan..."
Rong Ge looked down at him and said it would not be an exaggeration to describe Li Hui as emaciated. His eyes, which were turning green, had already sunken, filled with a pool of blood.
The handsome face that once captivated the legitimate daughter of the Han family in his youth has long faded away, and the dashing young scholar has led himself down a dead end.
"I am the one who spiked the wine with Hell's Charm. The ship is already in chaos now," Rong Ge said expressionlessly. "Whether or not we can await support and survive is unknown."
Moreover, Li Hui can no longer wait.
He has been poisoned for too long, and his heart has been severely injured by the puppet.
He blinked and said, "I, I don't want to die in a foreign land, I don't want... to die with nothing."
This is so failure.
Rong Ge said, "You didn't have anything from the beginning, so what's the difference to die anywhere?"
"Galan..."
Li Hui called again, but Rong Ge didn't respond.
She was never Li Galan.
As one is approaching death, their words may be insightful. Li Hui has already started to utter nonsense, saying to your mother, "I used to think that marrying the legitimate daughter of the Han family, a mere merchant woman, to a scholar-official like me, was a worthwhile endeavor."
Li Hui once sincerely liked Han Wanle.
"It was originally a good marriage," Rong Ge bent down and pulled out a knife from Yingnu's chest, saying, "but you ruined it."
Everything turned into a mirage, a good chess piece shattered into pieces.
This is Li Hui's mediocre life.
He used the greatest courage of his life on this day, and died in obscurity.
Rongge turned and left, and the disciples of Tianya Ge finally noticed them. They were awakened by a sobering medicine, and now half of them are fighting against insane people, while the other half are searching the entire boat for Rongge and others.
Three strangers encountered a drunken brute in the afternoon.
The kitchen maid was grabbed from the kitchen and was so shocked that she cried intermittently like a quail.
"Where is your daughter?"
Trembling, the kitchen maid replied, "Good man... I don't have a daughter."
"Nonsense!" A disciple of Tianya Pavilion roared angrily, "There's someone on the ship who is your daughter!"
Startled, the cook exclaimed, "I remember now, there are four people hiding in the hold... but it's not..."
The chef didn't have time to finish speaking and was immediately silenced by a disciple from Tianya Pavilion. She didn't even have a chance to close her eyes, and her terrified eyes were filled with pity.
Perhaps she wanted to say that Rong Ge is not her daughter.
Yong Ge arrived one step late, she stripped a set of clothes of a disciple from the corpse on the ground, wrapped it around herself and ran into the corner. Yuan Lin responded in time, and the four of them divided into two groups, shuttling around various parts of the ship, encircling the people from Tianya Pavilion.
It is simply exhausting.
Having killed several people in a row, Rong Gesou's wrists are sore, and I don't know if he is injured.
Su Qingqiao's mouth is dry and she whispers, "The majority of people did not drink that wine. No one has breached Hell Jiao's aft cabin, and the disciples of Tianya Ge have tied up the insane person."
Rongge looked solemnly and said, "It's my fault this time. I didn't expect Dengxian Pavilion to develop the poison powder to such an extent."
"Why blame yourself?" Su Qingqiao said, "At most, the plan has been accelerated. The falcon has already been released, and we just have to wait for the Mo Bei Army to arrive."
This way we can't hide for long, we will soon be discovered. Rongge tightened her waistline, and felt the knife in her hand. "Yuanlin and I plan to kill the remaining two or three barbarians. In case we can't wait for rescue, and the ship is intercepted by the Tatar soldiers, this negotiation will also fail. It won't be a loss if we can make the Tatar king and Rong Jian hold grudges against each other."
"There are so many people?" Xiu Qingqiao asked.
"Well, it's getting dark, and we're at sea. The disciples of Tianya Pavilion may not be accustomed to fighting on a ship, so they are not as familiar as you are," Rong Ge said.
Shu Qingqiao sneered. He used to be the second-in-command in Dalong Bay, not much weaker than Shan Xun. He has some insights on naval warfare.
After less than two hours of confrontation, the four of them were starting to get exhausted. Tianyage disciples repeatedly found Rong Ge, only to be killed by him. They were playing a game of cat and mouse on the small boat.
Just as Rong Ge couldn't bear it any longer, when she met Yuan Lin, the sky suddenly lit up, followed by something exploding on the sea not far away, causing the ship to almost capsize.
Rong Ge squinted and looked up, unbelievably saying, "Cannon fire!"
This thing is not available in the military department, Rong Ge has only seen the blueprint, not the actual object.
Several people looked at each other, at a loss for words, and even couldn't believe that their reinforcements had arrived.
元霖吞了口唾沫，吸气道：“镇北王居然……有这玩意？”
这得捞多少黑钱，费多少人力物力才能无声无息的养在漠北军中啊？
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qingqiao choked out, "He's not from the North King."
With Rong Mo's temperament, if she had something like this, she would have exploded in the Tatars' king's tent long ago, and wouldn't have kept it hidden.
RONG Ge looked at him, trembling, and asked, "Who is it?"
"Dingyuan." HAN Yi-nian's face turned pale as he replied, chokingly, "The first ones to arrive are the Dingyuan troops."
RONG Ge: "..."
What other ways does she have to save Dingyuan besides becoming emperor?
She even dares to secretly make cannons. It's outrageous!
