The guarding soldiers didn't suspect a thing. After five people left, there were only four people left besides Jing Xinche. Jing Xinche was more than capable of dealing with these four. He first slit the throats of two of them. The other soldiers noticed something was wrong, but it was too late. With a swift move of his hand, the other two had already fallen.
He didn't dare to waste any time. He rushed in, set the fire, and then quickly left the granary.
Now that the first step was completed, he was going to look for the commander-in-chief of the Beiming Kingdom and try to take his head.
The fire in the granary was getting bigger and bigger. By the time it was discovered, it was already ablaze with flames. Almost everyone was only concerned about the granary. At this time, Jing Xinche was also moving through the enemy camp. He quickly found the main tent guarded by many people. He hid in the dark and saw a general in armor walking out of it.
This man was dressed almost the same as Yuan Yuhan. Even if he wasn't the commander-in-chief, he must be an important person. So Jing Xinche set his target on this man.
However, this man was heavily guarded. Even if he launched a surprise attack, he couldn't get close to the general. He could only hide in the dark and run away immediately if the situation turned bad.
The general got anxious when he saw the granary on fire. He quickly walked towards it. Jing Xinche tightly held the dart in his hand, waiting for the right moment.
"What's going on? How did the fire start? There must be an assassin! Search every inch of the place and find the assassin for me!" the general roared, looking at the raging fire in the granary.
Most of the soldiers around him were sent away. Jing Xinche tightly held the dart in his hand. Now was the best moment. He raised his hand and the dart flew out. The next second, the dart landed on the general's neck. The general widened his eyes and fell to the ground.
As a result, the enemy army began to panic, but Jing Xinche's position was also exposed. He didn't dare to waste any time and immediately used his internal energy to quickly escape.
But the effect of the pill wore off at this moment. Just as he was about to escape from the enemy camp, he squatted down painfully. He quickly took out the pill bottle from his body and took another pill.
However, this wasted some time, and he was surrounded by the enemy army. The pill would take some time to take effect, so he had to take out his sword and fight with the enemy.
If he could use his internal energy, these people would not be his opponents. But if he used his internal energy, these pills made of Mufeng Eggplant still couldn't suppress the toxicity.
He was in a dilemma for a moment. He could only fight against dozens of people alone and gradually fell into a disadvantage. Just as he was about to use his internal energy to break through the encirclement, suddenly a dozen people rushed in.
Jing Xinche frowned when he saw Yuan Yuhan's figure. As a prince, how could he do such a dangerous thing? Didn't he know how serious it was for an army to lose its commander-in-chief?
"Why did you come?" Jing Xinche asked unhappily.
Yuan Yuhan ignored Jing Xinche and just said lightly, "We're brothers. I can't just watch you die alone. What are you still standing there for? Quickly take care of these people. If the reinforcements come, none of us will be in good shape!"
Hearing this, Jing Xinche's tightly frowned eyebrows gradually relaxed. Although Yuan Yuhan wasn't as skilled in martial arts as Jing Xinche and his internal energy wasn't as deep, his martial arts were still above average. They quickly took care of these enemy soldiers.
Seeing more and more reinforcements rushing towards them, Yuan Yuhan grabbed Jing Xinche and flew out. They returned to the camp unharmed. Only Jing Xinche had a few wounds on his body.
Back in the tent, Yuan Yuhan watched Jing Xinche bandage his wounds before he finally felt relieved. He had a lot of questions about Jing Xinche.
"What's wrong with your martial arts? Why don't you use your internal energy?" Yuan Yuhan asked puzzledly.
He had noticed Jing Xinche's problem yesterday. If he had used his internal energy yesterday, that black bear wouldn't have been so arrogant for so long. That's why Yuan Yuhan had led people to rescue Jing Xinche.
"I was poisoned. I can't use my internal energy," Jing Xinche replied lightly.
He had never regarded Yuan Yuhan as one of his own before, but Yuan Yuhan had risked his life to save him for two consecutive days. Now he regarded Yuan Yuhan as his brother in his heart.
"Poisoned?" Yuan Yuhan shivered. His jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock. "When were you poisoned? Is there an antidote?"
Jing Xinche shook his head. There was a hint of melancholy in his tone. "There's no antidote."
Yuan Yuhan stood there stunned. The two of them were very tacit and didn't say a word. It was unknown how long it took before he came back to his senses and left Jing Xinche's tent.
The next day, the morning sunlight shone down. Mu Fengqie quickly got out of bed. Today was a great day for the opening of the hot pot restaurant and the beauty salon. She kept a low profile and didn't let others know that she was the boss of these two shops.
After the hot pot restaurant opened, people came to try the food one after another. Mu Fengqie couldn't close her mouth from smiling when she saw the hot pot restaurant gradually getting bustling. Shen Yiru followed Mu Fengqie closely. Seeing Mu Fengqie's shop so prosperous, she admired Mu Fengqie even more.
But what troubled Mu Fengqie was that the business of the beauty salon was very cold. Not a single bottle was sold after a whole day. Shen Yiru couldn't believe her eyes either.
"How could such a good product not be sold at all? These people are really blind!" Shen Yiru stamped her foot angrily.
Seeing Shen Yiru's angry look, Mu Fengqie couldn't help but laugh. Since she reconciled with Shen Yiru, she had a new understanding of her. This girl looked cold on the outside, but in fact, she was a chatterbox and kept talking non-stop.
"It seems we have to think of other ways. Otherwise, this shop will close down sooner or later."
Mu Fengqie understood the reason why no one bought the products. To put it simply, they lacked a spokesperson. But she didn't have a suitable candidate for the moment.
She was new here and only had two friends, Mrs. Shen and Shen Yiru. They both had good skin, so she had to find someone with bad skin to show the effect.
"Yiru, do you have any friends with bad skin?" Mu Fengqie asked.
Shen Yiru lowered her head and thought for a while. Then she happily said, "I really know two. Do you mean to let them use the facial masks and then let other ladies see the effect?"
"That's right. If you have any friends you know, could you introduce them to me?"
A look of pride flashed across Shen Yiru's face. The corner of her mouth slightly curled up, unable to hide her joy. "In that case, I'll help you."
The two happily walked towards the Li Mansion. They were attracted by a sudden noisy sound. Shen Yiru pulled Mu Fengqie to watch the excitement.
Mu Fengqie didn't want to join in the fun at first, but Shen Yiru pulled her and ran away. She didn't even have a chance to refuse.
"You're doing a heartless business. No one can succeed in it at all," Lou Xingzhou said lightly.
