Everything is ready except for the east wind. Qu Xinzhu has already arranged the manpower and is waiting for Sima Zheng to be arrested.

"Little one, is Sima Zheng here?" Qu Xinzhu crouched down, hiding carefully in the dark, his eyes fixed on the road ahead without blinking.

After a long while, the little boy's voice finally echoed in his mind, and there was a subtle uneasiness in that voice, "Master, looking at what happened today... why don't we just forget it. Sima Zheng is the hero, and his fighting power is not weak. The people we brought with us are no match for him at all. If something goes wrong, it will be terrible. 】

"What are you afraid of?" Qu Xinzhu was full of confidence, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She said nonchalantly, "I have been prepared for a long time. I gave them a lot of cartilage powder in advance. As long as this powder is spread out, no matter how powerful Sima Zheng is, he will have to surrender. At that time, I can only wait for him to perform the hero to save the beauty." The more she spoke, the more she felt sure of victory, as if she had already seen the scene of Sima Zheng being grateful to her.

After hearing what she said, Xiaoyaer hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth, [Master, Sima Zheng... he is not alone, he has people with him. ]

"Oh?" Qu Xinzhu was slightly startled and frowned. "Isn't he used to being alone? What's the matter? How many people did he bring today?" As she spoke, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat and she felt a little worried.

The youngest boy quickly replied: [There is another person traveling with us, he...]

"What? It's just one more person, and it scares you like this? You're so useless, little boy." Qu Xinzhu's words were full of contempt, and he didn't take the extra person seriously at all.

The little boy was extremely anxious and hurriedly explained: [Master, she is not an ordinary person, she is...]

"What? Is this guy very good at martial arts?" Qu Xinzhu asked impatiently, his eyes still fixed on the front, his mind completely on Sima Zheng who was about to appear.

Little Yaoer said helplessly: [That’s not the case, it’s her…]

"Alright, alright, since his martial arts are not that strong, then why should we be afraid of him?" Qu Xinzhu rudely interrupted Xiaoyaer before he could finish his words, and continued to stare at the front with increasingly nervous eyes, hoping that Sima Zheng would show up soon.

Seeing this, the little one was almost anxious to death.

Qu Qingyan’s fighting ability is not high, but she has a strong background.

That man had arranged countless secret guards around his precious daughter. With Qu Xinzhu's reckless behavior today, he was afraid that he would suffer a big disaster.

However, Xiaoyaer thought about it and thought that it would be good if she failed. This way, he could just...

Thinking of this, the little one looked at Qu Xinzhu, who was still playing with the object in his hand without knowing it and full of calculations, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. Then he disappeared triumphantly, as if he had foreseen the good show that was about to happen next.

Sure enough, not long after, Sima Zheng and a young man were seen riding horses slowly towards them. The sound of horse hooves clattered on the slightly quiet road, breaking the original tranquility.

"Who did I think it was? Turns out to be my cheap father's male lover. Humph! What's so great about that?" Qu Xinzhu was hiding in the dark. When he saw the person coming, he curled his lips in disdain. His expression was full of contempt. He didn't take the other person seriously at all and treated him as an insignificant person.

When the two men approached, in an instant, they saw dozens of men holding big knives suddenly flash out from the darkness on both sides of the road. Each of them had a rough face and was full of flesh. They looked quite fierce, but the deliberately pretended fierceness revealed a hint of guilt.

"I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, I will leave money to buy the road."

One of the men who seemed to be the leader shouted at the top of his voice. Although his words were full of energy, they sounded funny to the ears, as if they were copied from a play.

When these words were spoken, Qu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but burst out laughing. The laughter seemed particularly abrupt in this tense atmosphere.

She turned her head slightly and looked at Sima Zheng beside her, and said jokingly: "Sima Lord, it seems that the security of this capital city is really not very good. In broad daylight, someone dared to do such a heinous thing at the foot of the imperial city. It's really courageous."

"Who are you? How dare you do such illegal things at the foot of the imperial city?" Sima Zheng, as the prefect of Jingzhao, was responsible for maintaining the public security of the capital. At this moment, looking at these bandits who were ignorant of the danger, his expression suddenly became particularly ugly, and his eyes were full of anger and majesty, as if he wanted to execute these people on the spot.

When the bandits heard the famous name "Lord Sima", they had already vaguely guessed the identity of the person in front of them. They suddenly felt timid and couldn't help but want to retreat. The swords in their hands seemed to be unsteady and trembled slightly.

"If these useless things dare to hinder this princess's good deeds, I will never forgive them!" Qu Xinzhu was still lying in the dark, looking at those timid subordinates with a sinister look in his eyes. He secretly cursed their cowardice in his heart and just hoped that they would not ruin his plan.

Fortunately, for the promised considerable amount of silver, these people gritted their teeth and went forward to meet the enemy, but their steps seemed a little frivolous, and they completely lost the arrogance they had at the beginning.

"You...what do you care who we are? If you want to pass through here, you have to leave silver, otherwise..." Before the leading man finished speaking, he saw the others hurriedly taking out the paper bags that had been prepared long ago from their arms and throwing them hard at the two people on the horse.

The paper bag drew arcs in the air and headed straight towards the two of them, with the medicine powder falling in the wind.

"Oh no, hold your breath!" Sima Zheng reacted very quickly. He raised his wide sleeves and quickly covered his face.

Qu Qingyan, however, acted as if nothing had happened and didn't care at all about the paper bags flying towards him.

She is already proficient in medical skills and is immune to all poisons. Moreover, now that she has embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, her body has been tempered by spiritual energy and will not be harmed by these mundane medicines.

Sima Zheng was unaware of these circumstances. Seeing Yan Qing's head and body covered in drug powder, he became anxious and could not care about anything else. He could only grit his teeth and block in front of her, shouting, "Run!"

"You can't escape!" Upon seeing this, the bandits burst into triumphant laughter. The laughter echoed around them, full of arrogance and confidence, as if they had already regarded the two as trapped in a jar and were sure of victory.

Although Sima Zheng reacted quickly and covered himself with his sleeves in time, he still accidentally inhaled some of the powder. Soon, he felt a tingling sensation spreading from his limbs to his bones, and his body gradually became weak, as if all his strength was drained away in an instant. He gritted his teeth and tried to hold on, but the drug was so powerful that he couldn't hold on. He fell off his horse uncontrollably and fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".

Qu Qingyan also dismounted from the horse, reached out his hand and helped him up steadily.

Qu Xinzhu, who was hiding in the dark, saw that the time was ripe. A hint of excitement and eagerness flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

"stop!"
