The General’s Genius Daughter

Chapter 133 Pentagram Tactical Deployment

The Prince had already set up a banquet by the river. There were probably dozens of Qi Artists on one side, dozens of maids standing quietly beside the First Prince and all the delicacies from mountains and seas on the table.

The crescent moon had climbed high in the sky. Its cool light fell on the river, covering it with a silver light.

As the wind blew, willows danced in the wind. The current was cool and made people feel confortable. Musicians were blowing soft and sweet melodies on one side, which made the whole people feel relaxed.

“To my surprise, Princess Jinghua is present. I’m flattered.” First Prince greeted politely, with a complex look between his eyebrows and eyes.

Of course, Hua Qiyue had felt his changes.

At the beginning, the First Prince was full of affection for her. No—it should be said to be full of desire. Now, Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo showed up as a pair. And she was the enemy of the Liu family. How could the First Prince still have affection for her?

For Hua Qiyue, he just fell the desire to possess her all the time.

“The First Prince is too polite. How could Qiyue dare to refuse Your Highness First Prince’s invitation?” Hua Qiyue said and smiled.

The moonlight fell on her pearly cheeks, and he was captured by the young girl’s beauty. The First Prince thought that if they could catch this woman alive, he must torture her severely…

“The scenery along the river is excellent, and there is an osmanthus fragrans forest. You can see it not far away. The moon shadow is sparse, and the flower fragrance is just right,” First Prince laughed after his statement, and pointed to the plate of fruit before Hua Qiyue.

“This is moon cantaloupe, the tribute from the Chexue Kingdom. Qiyue, please have a taste.” The First Prince was extremely gentle. His cold eyes began to shine, staring at Hua Qiyue’s beautiful face; his heart was beginning to stir.

“Thanks, First Prince. Qiyue likes it very much,” Hua Qiyue said lightly. She said she liked it; however, there was really no favorable expression on her face.

Taking a bite of the melon, a breeze carried the sweet smell of the osmanthus fragrans. People were immersed in this soft aroma, so they almost forgot that tonight was a night for killing.

After Hua Qiyue had eaten half a melon, the First Prince said with great interest, “The osmanthus forest over there is fragrant and the moonlight is like water. Why don’t we go there for a walk?”

Finally, it came!

Hua Qiyue knew that the First Prince had finally started his plan to deal with her, but she still smiled faintly. “Fine, Qiyue also wants to go to the osmanthus fragrans forest.”

The First Prince was so happy to hear that. He was afraid of her refusal. So he left all the people in their places and led Hua Qiyue to the osmanthus fragrans forest.

The osmanthus fragrans smelled great. Hua Qiyue took a deep breath, then left with him confidently.

They stepped into the osmanthus forest, and the First Prince took the lead in heading for the deep part of the forest. “This osmanthus fragrans forest was planted by a Qi Artist a hundred years ago. There are some traps in the forest, but they were destroyed by men decades ago. What a pity! What a pity!”

The First Prince said unconcernedly. His eyes drifted to Hua Qiyue’s face.

Huaqiyue was smiling. She picked an osmanthus flower and placed it close to her nose to sniff it. She said, “You are right. That Qi Artist was very famous, but they were some small traps and tactical arrays, not lethal at all.”

The big tactical deployments taught by Tianpi were truly the most harmful.

Although there were different ways to escape from small arrays, generally speaking, people who could setup large ones could also solve them.

“Infanta, you must be joking. How could you know its power if you hadn’t tried them yourself?” the First Prince said with a light smile. He was confused by Hua Qiyue’s smile.

He knew that Hua Qiyue rarely smiled in front him. This time, he felt that there was a special meaning in her smile…

What was it? The First Prince couldn’t figure it out.

Because for him, this killing attempt was absolutely historic. If Hua Qiyue died, the Four Great Families could work together to force the Changlong Emperor to abdicate, and he, the First Prince, would become the new emperor.

Naturally, the Four Great Families would benefit a lot.

The First Prince had entered the depths of the osmanthus fragrans forest.

The moonlight was sparse, the flower shadow was dim, and sometimes the breeze blew with a flowery fragrance. The First Prince stood in the middle of the two trees, pointing to a ribbon placed at a height above his head. He said, “Qiyue, look, there’s a ribbon here. I didn’t expect that someone would come here to make a wish.”

Hua Qiyue walked over, standing in front of the First Prince. She looked up, and saw it was indeed a red ribbon.

The Prince quickly stepped back. Suddenly, several people jumped out. All of them were wearing black tights, and they surrounded Hua Qiyue in a circle.

Those people had strong killing intent. Hua Qiyue understood through her sense that these people were Qi Artists around the Dragon Diagram state. There were so many people to deal with her; in the eyes of ordinary people, she must be undoubtedly doomed!

“Start the tactical array!” An indifferent voice sounded. Then someone jumped in and slapped on one side of the tree.

The tree immediately showed the light of a pentagram. Then the light flashed, and there was a tactical array appearing around Hua Qiyue!

This small tactical array was the one the First Prince had mentioned just then!

The Prince took a few steps back. He was relieved when he saw Hua Qiyue inside the array. Fortunately, it went smoothly. If Hua Qiyue did not enter it, there were some Qi Artists who could catch her, but…

Generally speaking, with the restraint of the tactical array, it was impossible for Hua Qiyue to win!

Hua Qiyue raised her eyebrows, and behaved as calm as a mountain, looking at the man who launched the tactical array—Shui Qianruo.

“It was disrespectful for the great poisoner to come too. But… however I look at you, your corpse look really makes me feel unpleasant, wu… I almost spit out the overnight meal!” Hua Qiyue laughed teasingly.

Shui Qianruo had been a great poisoner for so many years, but no one had ever made fun of him like that. He could not help but show it by his serious face. He said coldly, “Hua Qiyue, tonight is the time of your death. How could you still be in a mood to laugh at me?”

“Death? Where did you get such self-confidence, Shui Qianruo? With your sick vulgar poison?” Hua Qiyue continued to laugh.

“Good! Hua Qiyue, you are so confident! I will show you how you die!” Then Shui Qianruo leaped away, leaving the tactical array, “This is the Pentagram Tactical Deployment. Anyone who enters it will surely be doomed by its lightsaber!”

A ruthless look flashed in Shui Qianruo’s eyes. He must kill the woman this time!

He was naturally confident for Yun Shimo was not around her. Now she couldn’t get away, so he could finally kill her!

When he finished talking, the Pentagram Tactical Deployment was started. At once, there were all kinds of intersecting lights transmited by it. With bone-chilling cold, the light made this summer turn into a cold winter immediately.

The light intersected, pressing noisily toward Hua Qiyue. With a sound made people feel a toothache, even the air was cut by it.

Hua Qiyue sneered and immediately wrote several runes in her palm. When Tianpi taught her how to make arrays, he also taught her how to crack them.

She finished writing a few runes quickly, then clapped at those rays of light.

When Shui Qianruo and the First Prince saw Hua Qiyue making this action, they could not help laughing. One of them said, “Haha… Hua Qiyue, do you think this lightsaber is the same as an ordinary one? Your spiritual energy will only make them become stronger and stronger. Hahaha, Hua Qiyue, watil until you turn into a corpse yourself!”

However, before they stopped laughing, they heard some sharp sound of breaking the void. Hua Qiyue scattered those rays of light with just one palm.

And those lights gathered close, became lightsabers suddenly, and attacked the First Prince and his fellows!

The First Prince and Shui Qianruo were astounded. They didn’t even see how Hua Qiyue did that. Now they were going to deal with the lightsaber they had created!

The First Prince’s secret guards blocked the huge light with their swords at once.

“You… how did you break my array?” What made Shui Qianruo proud was not only poisoning, but also his arrays!

Because there were very few people who could setup arrays. Still, Hua Qiyue could break his arrays! How couldn’t he get angry?

“I just cracked it by willing it so. Shui Qianruo, you poisonous corpse, what other tricks do you have? Come on!” Hua Qiyue growled impatiently.

Shui Qianruo was so angry that he even wanted to spit blood. It was the first time that he met an opponent who could compare with him!

Although Yun Shimo was also famous before, Shui Qianruo had never fought with him directly.

But now, that little woman could make him almost vomit blood. So, she must die tonight!

The First Prince’s face was pale, and he looked at Hua Qiyue with hatred. He thought that with the help of Shui Qianruo’s array, Hua Qiyue would be captured. But he was disappointed.

Shui Qianruo knew he must be quick. Once Yun Shimo came here, their plans would be more difficult. Although, in addition, there were hundreds of Qi Artists!

But Shui Qianruo once told the Queen that he wanted to capture Hua Qiyue in person!

He then took out the poisonous pellet he recently refined and rushed forward. “Bang!” The poisonous pellet he had thrown out had become a puff of poisonous fog, spreading immediately!

“Hua Qiyue… This kind of poison is the latest poison researched by me. It is the combination of the most powerful hallucinating drug and the deadliest poison in the world, hahaha… enjoy it!” After Shui Qianruo used the latest trick, Hua Qiyue had been enveloped in the poisonous fog. He looked at her proudly.

And Hua Qiyue was unmoveable. She just stood there.

The First Prince and Shui Qianruo looked at each other. They didn’t know why, there was a strong anxiety in their hearts, but they were surprised to see Hua Qiyue standing her ground.

This time, they probably could capture her.

“Childe Shui, is your poison really effective this time?” The First Prince was worried about its potency.

“Absolutely effective! Your Royal Highness First Prince, please have a look—Hua Qiyue has lost the ability to move, indicating that the hallucinogens have worked, and she is trapped in the imaginary scene that she sees. Of course, she is not an ordinary person. If she cracks it, then we have hundreds of Qi Artists who will attack her together!”

Shui Qianruo answered a bit unhappily. But he wisely left a way out for himself.

Hua Qiyue was really not an ordinary woman.

She was the first person he met who could counter his Pentagram Tactical Deployment.

Then, if this hallucinogen was also ineffective for her, he would have a way out.

“When Hua Qiyue is trapped by imaginary scene, let’s capture her together!” The First Prince was still anxious and shouted loudly.

But at this time, they found that Hua Qiyue suddenly moved. When they intended to make sure that everything was according to plan, a strong whirlwind suddenly appeared, taking Hua Qiyue as the center. This whirlwind instantly spread the poison fog tightly around her to the outside!
