The dark curtains around suddenly moved, and then dozens of agile men in black rushed over with long swords shining with cold light. Everyone was shocked, and only a dozen remaining imperial soldiers roared and greeted them.

After a fierce and breathless short-soldiers took over, the dozen or so imperial soldiers also fell into a pool of blood, and four men in black were killed.

The man in black surrounded the dozens of technicians and brothel women. Everyone looked at each other with panic and crowded together tightly, perhaps they thought they were safer in this way.

"Do it!" Suddenly, a man in black shouted coldly. The men in black immediately stepped forward and killed dozens of people who had no power to fight back on the spot. Screams and cries resounded throughout the night sky. A prostitute hugged the thigh of a man in black, begging with tears in his eyes. The man in black hesitated for a moment, stabbed the sword in his hand mercilessly. The woman screamed, and there was a strong desire for life in her eyes.

"Captain, everything has been solved!" A man in black came to report. The captain nodded, "Send a signal! Retreat!" "Yes!"

Then two green signal rockets rose into the night sky.

The man in black who was setting fire and Yan Xing's troops who were attacking the enemy's imperial brigade immediately separated from the enemy and disappeared into the night. They also took away the bodies of the dead on their own.

"Why did the enemy retreat?" an imperial guard officer asked in a daze.

"Not good!" another officer suddenly shouted, and then ran towards the back of the farm.

The imperial guards passed through the farm where the fire was no longer controlled and came dozens of steps away to the east. Everyone was stunned. There was a corpse in front of them, with nearly forty imperial soldiers and dozens of technicians and prostitutes all sank in a pool of blood.

The officer came to his senses and rushed up. The soldiers immediately went up to check the situation. However, they were disappointed to find that no one was still alive.

"All dead!" an officer said in a pale face.

Another officer said to the soldiers beside him: "Hurry! Report the situation here immediately to the queen!" The soldier responded and quickly ran towards the imperial capital.

When Queen Slan was woken up by the eunuch, it was still early in the morning, and the entire capital was silent.

"What's going on?" Queen Slan asked unhappily.

The eunuch urgently reported: "The person who came said that the technicians were attacked by unidentified people in the farm on the outskirts of the city! ~~"

Queen Slan, who was rubbing her temples, couldn't help but be shocked, and suddenly stood up and walked out quickly. When she arrived outside the door, an imperial soldier was waiting anxiously at the gate.

When the soldier saw the queen come out, he quickly bowed.

"No need to be polite! What's going on?" Queen Slan asked anxiously.

The soldier replied: "Just a while ago, the farm was raided by an unknown person!~~~"

"How are the technicians?" Queen Slan looked anxious.

"Everyone, all were killed!" The soldier reported tremblingly.

Queen Slan felt a moment of dizziness, stabilized her body, and said sternly: "No one of you five hundred people can protect all the technicians!"

The soldier was shocked and quickly knelt down and apologized.

Queen Slan snorted coldly and ordered the eunuch to call the Imperial General Drov.

"Queen!" Drov hurried over and said.

"Call the imperial guards immediately and follow me to the farm outside the city!"

Drov glanced at the soldiers kneeling on the ground and replied.

Not long after, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army, led by Drov, supported Queen Slan and ran out of the city. The army mobilized inevitably to wake up the sleeping people. The people squeezed to the window and couldn't help feeling nervous when they looked at the scene in front of them.

Queen Slan and the army rushed to the outside of the farmhouse in the suburbs. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were stunned. The originally luxurious and vast farmhouse was completely wrapped in flames. Hundreds of corpses were lying on the grass on the front of the farmhouse, and some soldiers were cleaning up the bodies.

Drov immediately ordered the fire to be put out, and nearly a thousand soldiers immediately stepped forward and began to use various means to put out the fire. However, the fire was probably not extinguished, so he could only wait until it burned out and extinguished.

"Captain Kasai, the captain of the third brigade of the Second Column, pays homage to the Queen!" An officer covered in blood and blackened with faces came to Queen Slan to pay homage to him.

"You will protect all the technicians tonight?" Queen Slan asked in a deep voice.

Kasari responded uneasyly, "Yes!"

"Where are all the technicians now?"

"Biyi has already put their bodies over there!"

Queen Slan frowned, "Take me over!" "Yes!"

A moment later, Queen Slan was taken to the dozen or so bodies. Queen Slan took a closer look, took a long breath, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is the other party?"

"It's the Qin army!" Kasili hurriedly reported.

"Qin Army! Why are you so sure!? Are there their bodies?"

"No! The other party also took the corpse away when they retreated! However, based on their combat style and the weapons they used, they can be determined to be the Qin army! And they are not ordinary Qin army!" Kasai said, and then ordered a small team leader to present several items.

Queen Slan glanced at the object that the team leader held up. It was a horizontal knife and a crossbow machine. These two things were indeed the signatures of the Qin army. "What is this?" Queen Slan asked.

Kasili explained: "This long sword is a horizontal sword that only the elite Qin army has! The other one is a kind of crossbow! Although our army also has similar devices, the difference between the two is very obvious, so you can see at a glance that this is a crossbow machine of the Qin army!"

Queen Slan frowned and ordered Drov beside her: "General, send troops to search everywhere immediately, don't let go of any clues!" "Yes!" Drov replied, and then sent four thousand-man teams to pursue in four directions, southeast, west and north, and two thousand-man teams to search around at the same time.

When it was dawn, Queen Slan returned to the palace and immediately sent someone to summon the ministers. After a while, the civil and military ministers rushed to the hall.

"You don't have to be too polite!" Queen Slan interrupted the civil and military officials who were about to bow.

"Queen, is something happening?" The question was the new Prime Minister Schroeder.

Queen Slan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Just a while ago, our dozen artillery technicians were raided by unidentified people in the farm outside the city, and all were killed!"

Everyone present was shocked. "How could this happen? Who did it?" Konev asked indignantly. Konev was the financial officer of the Ross Empire. He supported Queen Slan from the beginning. Therefore, after Queen Slan seized power, his status became stronger. Now he is not only in charge of the imperial finance, but also in charge of the logistics of the imperial army.

Queen Slan ordered people to bring several things left by the other party found on the scene to the main hall.

"This is a horizontal sword! This is a Qin crossbow machine!" Konev frowned. "Is the raider the Qin people?"

Queen Slan said meaningfully: "It seems like this now?"

Prime Minister Schroeder asked, "Where is the enemy's corpse?"

Queen Slan shook her head and said, "When the other party retreated, he took away his own body!"

"This is strange! The other party should know that they will have weapons and equipment left on the scene! Since that's the case, it's meaningless to take the corpse away! And taking the corpse away in this situation will increase their chances of exposure, which is completely unreasonable!"

Everyone was stunned. Queen Slan's younger brother Framo frowned and asked, "What the Prime Minister means is that the other party is not the Qin army at all?"

Schroeder nodded and said, "No, right! The scene in front of him is an illusion, it was a clue they deliberately left!~~" frowned, "but there is still a question in it, why do they raid those technicians?"
