C7 Dead

Once again interrupting him, Cui Mengxi's eyes became cold, and her tone became unyielding.

Suddenly, she mentioned General Xu's name, and then said that he was someone of status. That person was stunned. Fear appeared in the depths of his eyes, and his heart was in turmoil.

Seeing this, Cui Mengxi knew that her words had already taken effect.

Narrowing her eyes, she smiled slowly.

"All I want is his details. "Whatever you know, say it. When you're satisfied, I'll let you go."

On the one hand, these words told him that the information he had revealed would not lead to much of a consequence. On the other hand, it was a form of coercion, causing him to not dare to lie as he didn't know exactly how much she knew.

As expected, that person only hesitated for a moment before clenching his teeth and agreeing.

"Alright, I'll tell you."

Cui Mengxi nodded, waiting for him to continue.

He then said slowly, "That Xu Qi is the newly appointed general. Although the Xu family is only a merchant house, they have been quite influential recently, even threatening the imperial government. They even sent some of the Xu family's disciples to the imperial government to be officials."

"This Xu Cai is the most outstanding one among them all. It is said that he is familiar with the Military Strategy. He walked all the way here and used some unknown method to successfully exchange the old General Li for someone else …"

"We naturally do not wish for such people to become our generals. We are not convinced, but there's nothing we can do …"

"Miss, that's all I know. I …"

Hearing this, Cui Mengxi's eyes flashed, and she slowly took two steps back.

"You can go."

That person was stunned for a moment before turning around to look at his comatose comrade, hesitating to speak. "Then he …"

"Take a good look."

Cui Mengxi calmly said.

Trembling and lowering his head, that person seemed to have some expectations. He stretched out his hand to check his breath and was immediately frightened. He took two steps back and fell on his butt. After that, he ran away with a frightened expression on his face.

After watching him run far away, Cui Mengxi lowered her head and picked up a clump of grass from the man's head and put it away. She then moved the man to the other side and started massaging his back.

The spot where he had fallen onto just happened to be a clump of medicinal herbs. Even though the fragrance was faint, if one were to sniff it for too long, they would enter a death-like state and lose their breath.

It wasn't difficult to awaken them.

Very quickly, that person woke up in a daze.

When he opened his eyes, he felt a massage on his back and couldn't help but exclaim.

"You're awake?"

Cui Mengxi's voice was soft and gentle as she smiled.

That person immediately turned around to look.

Although the young girl behind him was wearing a set of coarse clothes, it was difficult to conceal her beauty. Her almond eyes were sparkling, causing him to be stunned.

Cui Mengxi blinked, waving her hand in front of his eyes.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Ah …" "I'm fine!"

That person immediately regained his senses and looked at the young lady's harmless appearance. His guard immediately relaxed a bit as he started to feel suspicious.

"Miss, I …"

Knowing what he wanted to ask, Cui Mengxi smiled and said, "You're unconscious." The moment I came over, I saw you collapsed on the ground. Coincidentally, I know some medical skills, so I woke you up. "

As she spoke to here, Cui Mengxi's tone paused for a moment before she once again spoke, puzzled.

"Why are you here alone? "Although there aren't many ferocious beasts in the forest, there are quite a few poisonous snakes. It's very dangerous."

Seeing that she took the initiative to take care of him, the guard immediately let his guard down and somewhat vexedly hammered his head.

"He seems to have been ambushed …" I wonder where my companion went. "
