Chapter 626
Mingruo felt that the serrated beetles made of Tien Nanmu may not be able to nibble, but the furniture items on the ship were gnawed is also a considerable loss: "Is there anything that can restrain the serrated beetles?"
"The serrated beetle is afraid of fire." A Yuan continued, "I'll go down and see what's going on."
"Well..." Ming Ruo saw Xunyi and the others successfully moved all the food back to the dock, took two barrels of alcohol from the medical system, and asked the third year of junior high school to bring it to the shore, and got off the boat himself.
"Princess, is there any problem with these foods?" Manager Zhang didn't know why the princess didn't let these foods board the ship, so he had to come over and ask.
Before Mingruo answered, A Yuan had already opened a bag of rice, and poured out most of the bag to see that the gray-black beetle the size of a fingernail mixed in the rice: "Master, these rice are mixed with the beetle's rice. It should have been placed in the ice cellar before, and the beetle entered a hibernation state. As long as the temperature rises, the serrated beetle will gradually wake up."
As if to prove A Yuan's words, a beetle's tentacles moved, as if it was about to wake up soon.
"Pew these strong liquors on the grain and set them on fire." Mingruo got goosebumps when he saw the considerable number of beetles.
"Yes." Xunyi spread the grain and poured it on with alcohol. He threw the fire sticks on it, and the flames suddenly jumped up.
The beetles burned and made crackling sounds, and some of them were more tenacious, crawling out of the fire.
A Yuan quickly took a few brooms to the secret guards and asked them to sweep the serrated beetles that ran out into the fire.
Mingruo ordered the secret guards to watch here, and wait until the insects are burned to death, and the ashes are dug to dig a hole and buried deep.
Although Manager Zhang didn’t know what these insects do, it was very strange that there were insects in each bag of food.
The two servants in charge of purchasing faced each other like earth, and said tremblingly: "I really don't know why there are insects in the food... I saw the best silk seedlings, all of which are new grains for this year."
"Manager Zhang, please arrange for someone to buy some food. Don't get on the boat after buying it. Let A Yuan check it out before transporting it." Mingruo called four secret guards and asked the two servants to lead the way to check it out at the shop where they bought the food just now.
"Don't worry, Princess, I'll take someone to buy food in person." Manager Zhang learned about the power of the serrated beetle from A Yuan, and he felt a chill on his back.
"Okay." Mingruo nodded and told A Yuan to check other ingredients. If there is no problem, he would be brought on the boat.
Mingruo stood on the deck, watching the sailors move things to the boat, activate the scanning function of the medical system, and let all the ingredients pass in front of him.
"Princess Jin An." Zhang Jinliang approached Mingruo, "Is something happened?"
"A tyrant merchants bought and sold food from insects, and our palace has sent guards to the shop to check it out.
"Oh..." Although Zhang Jinliang felt that things were not that simple, he didn't dare to ask again.
After checking all the ingredients, A Yuan returned to the boat: "Master, there is no problem with other things."
"You go to the kitchen to help the chef take care of the ingredients and cook some lily and mung bean soup." Mingruo ordered and stepped onto the stairs on the second floor.
Zhang Jinliang's mind was very quick. Princess Yun came to deal with this matter. Does that mean that Prince Yun was not on the ship?
"Princess, I want to invite a peace to the prince." Zhang Jinliang followed Mingruo and moved to the second floor.
After finally reaching the stairs on the second floor, Zhang Jinliang was happy, and Jiang Lan blocked his way with a spear.
Mingruo turned around and glanced at Zhang Jinliang: "The prince is not on the boat."
Zhang Jinliang looked at the spear that was crossing his chest, and the sharp spear head flashed with a cold light: "The old slave will go back first..."
Mingruo shook his head. He really didn't know what benefits Emperor Danxu gave this old eunuch, but he worked hard.
Soon a secret guard reported: "Princess, the grain store is empty. When we passed by, we were about to catch the landlord...
Thirteen and the others were searching for clues around the shops and neighbors, and asked their subordinates to come back and report."
"Okay." Mingruo nodded, always feeling that there were a lot of things going on after entering Qingzhou.
Si Haochen brought the secret guard to the tavern. The sign of "Smelling Xianglai" was still there, but the doors and windows were closed and the wine curtains were not hung out.
Si Haochen jumped up to the roof and made a gesture. Several secret guards flipped into the backyard and pried open the doors and windows to search. There was no gain. It seemed that the assassins who attacked the building ship last night were not caught in one fell swoop. Some fish that escaped the net came back to inform us.
As soon as Si Haochen was about to leave, he noticed that there were ambushing the surroundings. He pretended to leave and hid in the dark.
Seeing that the person who came to check had already walked away, the eyeliner went back to report.
Si Haochen personally followed him and came to a villa outside Qingzhou City.
Last night, a total of 17 assassins were sent, fifteen people approaching the tower ship to carry out the mission. The remaining two were responsible for receiving the mission in the distance. Seeing that the mission failed, the two rushed back to report the message.
The people from the tavern evacuated to the villa overnight and notified the grain store to take action.
"Master, someone went to our hall to check it out just now, but nothing was found." The eyeliner came back to report.
"Just don't go back soon, they won't be here for long." A sinister male voice continued to instruct, "Instruct the people who are ambushing along the coast of Tang County to prepare. The serrated beetles will wake up tonight, and then they will have to dock in Tang County..."
"yes."
"Master...there is a mistake in the grain shop..." A man ran in panic, "Shunzi and the others brought their tails when they came back..."
"How is that possible!" He deliberately added the serrated beetle to the bottom of the grain bag. Even if the people on the boat were rice buckets, they would not cook a whole bag of rice in one meal. "How many people are coming?"
“Only three.”
"Erased." The sinister voice became even more creepy.
"yes."
The man took the order and left, and a gray-haired old man said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid there are reinforcements behind the three of them, so you can leave first."
"There are nearly 200 people here, and even if they have reinforcements, they will not be more people than us. I don't believe that Prince Yun's secret guards can fight one against two, but can they not be at a disadvantage if they fight one against ten?"
It turns out that Prince Yun's secret guards did fight ten. Moreover, before the secret guards could even take action, Linglong knocked down a piece of it...
Si Haochen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why did you find me here?"
Thirteen briefly talked about the fact that there were serrated beetles in the grain: "The three subordinates came here following the traces of the grain shop's friend."
"Yeah." Si Haochen nodded. These people are quite capable, one set after another.
Si Haochen curled an evil chuckling at the corner of his lips. He liked to play with the cunning rabbits, right? Then I'll bring all the rabbit nests to you.
Si Haochen took out a few explosive packs from the Qiankun box: "It's impolite to come but not go, just order them!"
