"You, you …" An Xia was completely speechless. He never thought that this guy was actually a lieutenant.

"Could it be that you are an assassin?" The lieutenant still had a cold expression on his face. He frowned as he stared at An Xia. As he started to size her up, his face was full of caution. The sudden appearance of a girl in his study was indeed suspicious.

"Of course not …" An Xia was somewhat speechless. "Cousin, you asked me to come here and take shelter!"

"Your cousin has so much power, he can already handle the matters of the commander-in-chief's residence." The lieutenant shouted coldly and was about to get up, but as he moved, his expression froze.

"You'd better not act recklessly. The poison in your body has yet to be cured." An Xia also coldly said. She had never seen such an unreasonable person before, so she didn't let him speak clearly.

Therefore, she didn't feel any sympathy for this fellow anymore.

Luckily, he didn't get the antidote in time. Otherwise, he would have died at his hands. It was truly a debt of gratitude and an enmity.

An Xia's reminder caused the young lieutenant's expression to change. He sat back down and looked at An Xia with an unfathomable gaze. "Speak, who are you? What is your purpose for coming to the Lieutenant's Palace? "

As she spoke, her hand had already pressed down on the long sword at her waist. She didn't know who she was just now, but now that she knew, she had to be careful.

The person who suddenly appeared, saying that he was a friend, he really didn't dare to believe it.

"My cousin told me to come here to seek refuge. Housekeeper knows." An Xia actually didn't want to waste his saliva as he turned around and walked away, "Since the lieutenant doesn't welcome us, then we won't disturb you anymore. I took refuge in your residence and helped you treat your wounds so that you wouldn't bleed to death.

"Wait!" The lieutenant stood up while enduring the pain, "You want to escape? It won't be that easy."

Having said this, he didn't even have time to react before a long sword had already pressed against An Xia's neck. The cold sword grazed her skin as pain assaulted her, causing her to stiffen and truly not dare to move recklessly.

The hand that went to open the door was frozen in mid-air.

His heart raced. He was taking refuge, or he was courting death!

It's really a bad year.

"I really don't know how you became a lieutenant, but you're so reckless. Don't tell me you've never trusted anyone?" An Xia really didn't dare to move. When he spoke, he also didn't dare to be too extreme, "Also, my cousin is surnamed Wei, you can just let me go. He dealt with those assassins, then he'll come and pick me up.

The sword on An Xia's neck moved but did not leave. The lieutenant cautiously asked: "What is your surname?"

"Yes." An Xia didn't understand much about the official positions in the ancient times, and didn't know if it would be useful to mention the general's mansion.

At the moment, he was at the mercy of others. As a fish, he had to be extremely careful.

She already had a silver needle in her hand, ready to retaliate at any moment. She didn't want to be killed as an assassin for no reason at all.

That would be too unfair. It would be better to die in the general's manor, since he had a good master and a good reputation.

The moment the word 'An' came out of his mouth, the sword hanging on An Xia's neck had indeed left his throat.

"Your cousin is really stupid." The lieutenant stood there with his sword propped up against the ground: "You better hide."

"What's wrong?" An Xia looked back and saw his appearance. She wanted to lift him up and support him, but when she thought of his cold attitude just now, she restrained herself. "Could it be that there's an assassin here too?"

"Otherwise, why would I be injured …" The lieutenant snorted and said with disdain.

An Xia nodded. "He's even got quite the background, to be able to injure the Grand Commandant to such an extent."

It was completely silent, but she didn't say anything else.

The lieutenant's expression didn't look too good. An Xia's words weren't pleasant to listen to, but when An Xia saw his slightly blackened lips, he thought to himself, this isn't good. The poison in his body is spreading.

"Who is the other party?" It can actually use poison? " An Xia hesitantly asked.

The lieutenant shook his head, "It doesn't matter. There is a mechanism behind the second book in the third row on the bookshelf. Turn it three times to the left, nine times to the right and seven times to the left."

There was already a group of assassins in the lieutenant's mansion. If the people who wanted to assassinate An Xia were to come again, he really wouldn't be able to hold them off.

In a moment of desperation, he couldn't care less.

An Xia didn't hesitate. It was normal for someone of such status to have a secret family.

According to what he said, he found the mechanism and turned it to the left and right.

After counting to the left and the seventh time, a square entrance appeared in the middle of the study. It was somewhat dark below, so he could not see anything clearly.

"Let me help you down." An Xia walked back to the lieutenant's side and raised her hand to support his arm. She frowned slightly as she could already hear the sounds of swords and sabers coming from outside.

These people had come really fast. They wouldn't stop until Anxia was killed.

The Crown Prince was truly impatient.

At this moment, the lieutenant's face had already turned black. The speed at which the poison spread was truly fast.

He followed the stairs to the underground chamber. It was even darker inside and he couldn't see anything. An Xia tightly held onto the Lieutenant's arm, afraid that he would fall down.

He really didn't know if he had carried a corpse with him after these assassins left.

"Are there no candles here?" An Xia was a little worried about the lieutenant. If he were to carry a corpse out with him, even if he had 10,000 mouths, it would not be clear. When the time came, the crown prince would not send people to assassinate him.

"Yes!" The lieutenant's voice was already floating, "I... I have a fire piston on me. "

Hearing this, An Xia didn't hesitate, because it was too dark and she couldn't see anything, so she could only search the lieutenant's body for a fire piston. Her movements were big, and in the darkness, the lieutenant let out a pitiful cry.

"You …" The lieutenant sucked in a breath of cold air, as if he was speechless. "The fire piston is in my hand, you really are... A woman? "

An Xia ignored him. She touched the paper piston in his hand and quickly polished it, lighting up all the oil lamps in the surroundings.

With the light shining from the lamp, An Xia looked at the lieutenant. His tall body was swaying a little, and his lips were dark. It seemed that he would fall down in the next second, but he was still holding on.

He took another look around the secret room. There was a bed, a table, and even a bookshelf. It seemed to be arranged in exactly the same manner as the study above.

"Tall guy, don't be silly. Come, lie down on the bed. I'll cure you." The indifferent expression on the lieutenant's face disappeared without a trace. In An Xia's eyes, he was just an ordinary person with a very strong build.

Especially now that the lieutenant was poisoned, a child could kill him. There was nothing to be afraid of.

An Xia had always been a bold and hypocritical person.

In the army, there was no one who wasn't afraid of him. Furthermore, he had always killed people without batting an eye, but now, a daughter of the Grand Preceptor's estate had actually spoken to him in such a way. It really made him look at him in a new light.

This woman had never left the Grand Preceptor's estate all year round. Her brain must be playing tricks on her!

Even if he had a relationship with Wei Siyuan, it would not be an exception to An Xia.

"What are you waiting for? You don't want to live anymore, right? " An Xia had already taken out a silver needle and started to disinfect the candle flame. He didn't even raise his head as he spoke with a serious tone and a bit of stiffness.

This attitude seemed to be what he should have a few minutes ago. Now, this woman was giving it back to him.

As An Xia disinfected the silver needles, she raised her head to look at him. "Hey, what are you still thinking about?" "Just wait a little longer and you'll be dead. Even the deities won't be able to save you when the poison enters your heart and lungs."

This time, An Xia's tone was even colder.

Mo Yuan wanted to get angry, but An Xia's appearance made him feel at ease. He bit his lips and walked towards the bed. He laid down and coldly said, "I have a name, not a 'Hello'."

At this time, An Xia had already taken care of the silver needles, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he took all the oil lamps and brought them to the bedside table.

"My name is Mo Yuan." Mo Yuan was getting a little angry. His internal organs hurt as though they were on fire, and he could faint at any moment. Yet, he still persisted in staring at An Xia.

An Xia frowned and thought that this man was really interesting, so she replied in a perfunctory manner, "I understand, now I have to expel the poison for you, because I don't have the antidote, and I don't have the time to concoct the antidote. The poison has already entered your internal organs, so I'll expel it from my internal organs to six."

"You?" Mo Yuan felt incredulous. He had never heard of such an antidote.

"The five viscera and six viscera are all on the surface. The viscera are mainly hidden, while the viscera are mainly filled with diarrhea. Poison in the five viscera will definitely cause fatal damage, but in the six viscera, that is not necessarily the case." An Xia still gave him a general theory of traditional Chinese medicine. As he said this, he lifted up his hand to take off Mo Yuan's clothes. He was very serious, as if he wanted to take it off in one go.

The current Mo Yuan did not have any consciousness, so he forced himself to stay awake.

From above came the sound of a battle, and then it was gone.

The current An Xia didn't care about who was fighting on the stage. She wanted to save Mo Yuan, so she had to.

Using a silver needle to transfer all of the poison from his five viscera to his stomach, then using the needle technique to push the poison into his small intestine. Triple focus...

In the general's manor, Wei Siyuan and the masked man had put down all the assassins and hung up their weapons. Thankfully, no one else was alerted, so Wei Siyuan kept his sword and looked at the masked man, "Thank you for your help, brother. May I ask what your name is? I will definitely repay you today's kindness."

"No need, you should go quickly and see how the people are doing. The ensign's residence is not peaceful either." The masked man's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had used some sort of medicine to change his voice. For a moment, it was impossible to distinguish his original voice.

"Thank you very much." Wei Siyuan clasped his fists again before hurriedly turning around to leave.

This group of assassins was very bold, they poisoned the guards outside the lieutenant's residence to death, causing the butler to lose consciousness from the poison. The study was in a mess, books were scattered on the floor, ink was spilled on top of them, the candlestick was lying on the ground, and it seemed like a fire was about to break out.

"Cousin, Cousin …" Wei Siyuan's heart sank. He had never expected the ensign's residence to suffer such a calamity.

At first, he suspected that it was the crown prince's man, but now, something didn't seem right.

However, the needle could not be distracted until the crucial moment. Now that she had stopped, the needle in Mo Yuan's Dantian that she had inserted into his navel had sunk a few centimeters deep, and this needle could not be shallow. A little bit could not achieve the effect of treatment, but a little bit deeper and it would cost him his life!
