After training hard for a year, who would understand this grievance?
Leng Zhiruo didn’t say anything. She jumped onto the branch and brought her down.
“Where did you get your bow from?” Leng Zhiruo asked.
She didn’t remember Su Xiaoxiao bringing a weapon.
su Xiaoxlao pointed at tne black bear wno was playing vvltn ms neacl and said without changing her expression, “Oh, I hid it in the forest in advance. It just brought it to me!”
The black bear was dumbfounded.
Leng Zhiruo opened her mouth. “You…”
“Yes, I knew in advance that there was a plan in the forest. I knew it too!” Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking in one breath and asked, “How did you meet these people?”
Leng Zhiruo said, “I just came out of Study Room and saw two people sneaking around on the street, so I secretly followed them. Later on, I saw them catching little beggars on the street, so I went over to stop them and was caught by them.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You deliberately went deep into the wolf den, right? I really don’t know if I should say that you’re lucky or unlucky.”
Leng Zhiruo looked at Su Xiaoxiao in confusion.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the four unconscious assassins on the ground. “They’re not ordinary bandits. They’re from the forces that came from Thousand Mountains Island in the East Sea.”
Leng Zhiruo shook her head. “I’ve never heard of this island.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I just heard not long ago that there are many powerful martial arts organizations on the island. The Island Master is ambitious and wants to control the royal families of the various countries. From the information we have so far, their forces have infiltrated the southern border, the Great Zhou, and the Western Jin.”
Leng Zhiruo thought for a moment. “His Majesty had a stroke a few days ago… Could it be related to them?”
Su Xiaoxiao coughed. “Well… of course.”
Leng Zhiruo said, “Were you and the two princesses deliberately captured by them as bait?”
Su Xiaoxiao’s expression did not change. “That’s right. Otherwise, how could they have caught me?”
Leng Zhiruo looked at her and then at the big tree trunk that had trapped her just now. “Oh.”
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly changed the topic. “Are you guys alright?”
Leng Zhiruo said, “Thanks to the antidote pill you gave me, we safely left the miasma forest. The two princesses and the children are temporarily placed in a cave.”
In the carriage, Su Xiaoxiao had already given them yellow pills and asked them to bring a few with them in case of emergencies. Leng Zhiruo continued, “Who was the one who shot the arrow just now?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “It’s Wei Ting and the others.”
The moment Su Xiaoxiao, Princess Hui An, and Princess Jingning were captured and boarded the carriage, Wuhu rode its golden eagle carriage to the peach forest to inform Wei Ting.
Coupled with the information provided by the secret guard, Wei Ting guessed that it was Xiahou Yan.
When Xiahou Yan’s subordinates shouted at the peach forest, Su Xiaoxiao saw Wuhu on the branch and knew that Wei Ting had already brought people to guard this place.
Although she always bickered with Wei Ting, she could give him unconditional trust at the critical moment.
That was why she knew that Wei Ting would definitely be able to cover her retreat when they rushed into the peach forest.
“What’s the plan next?” Leng Zhiruo asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, “Leave the mission to Wei Ting and the others. We’ll meet up with the two princesses.”
Leng Zhiruo also understood how powerful that group of people was. She probably wouldn’t be of much help if she went back herself. It was better to protect the princesses and the children in peace.
Leng Zhiruo looked at the miasma forest in front of her. “Can you go in? You can’t take medicine casually, right?”
“No problem!”
Su Xiaoxiao took out a gas mask and put it on.
Leng Zhiruo muttered, “…I forgot that you have this.” 𝒻𝓻𝘦𝑒𝓌𝑒𝓫𝓷𝑜𝓋𝘦𝓵.𝓬𝘰𝓂
“Go in first. I’ll come later.’
“Okay.”
Su Xiaoxiao followed suit and entered the miasma forest.
Leng Zhiruo came to the col and checked Wuyou’s corpse. After confirming that she was dead, she went to kill the other four unconscious assassins.
When she did these things, her heart did not waver.
She stared blankly at her blood-stained hand.
“Perhaps the Leng family is born so cold-blooded.”
Her father was cold-blooded to her, and so were her uncles and grandfather.
How good could she be?
“Yes!”
A happy cry interrupted Leng Zhiruo’s thoughts.
She turned around.
A black and fat little cub ran over.
The little cub did not stop and bumped into her leg.
Then, the little cub was stunned.
The black bear took a deep breath and sighed. She walked over helplessly, grabbed its unfilial son, and dragged it forward.
The little cub refused and pulled the black bear with its two claws. The black bear was annoyed by the tugging. It let go and aimed at the little cub’s head.
The little kid retaliated, but it was slapped a few more times.
The little cub hugged its head aggrievedly.
Leng Zhiruo walked over and picked up the little baby.
The little cub immediately raised its claws at its mother to show off.
The black bear ignored its unfilial cub and followed Leng Zhiruo into the miasma forest.
On the other side, after a few rounds of arrows, the event location returned to silence.
The hostages were gone, and the person who had gone to catch the hostages had not come out for a long time.
It seemed that they were doomed.
Xiahou Yan was a little angry.
Although he did not care about the lives of the hostages, his plan had been ruined easily.
This feeling was not good.
“Didn’t you say that there was no army?” Xiahou Yan asked Qingyan.
Qingyan hurriedly said, “When I followed you here last night, I really didn’t find any traces of an army coming.”
In the beginning, there was no army. However, after knowing that Xiahou Yan had taken a hostage, Wei Ting immediately asked the five tigers to look for Su Cheng and sent a team of archers over.
But rescuing the hostages was only the first step.
Next was to force Xiahou Yan into the peach forest.
Xiahou Yan was not stupid.
The other party wanted him to go in, but he refused to.
After a long stalemate, Xiahou Yan gradually lost his patience.
“Come out if you dare. If not, I’ll leave.”
He did not believe that the other party would watch him leave after spending so much effort.
Wei Ting said calmly, “I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave.”
Xiahou Yan frowned.
Suddenly, Elder Feng’s voice came from the carriage behind. “There are cavalry!”
At this point, Su Cheng was leading the 3,000 Qin family cavalry and charging over majestically!
Not all the Qin family’s soldiers went north. There had to be a wave left in the capital. Otherwise, how could they intimidate Emperor Jing Xuan?
No matter how powerful an expert was, he was no match for the army. Everyone understood this logic.
However, Xiahou Yan did not panic.
The guy’s voice just now had already exposed his location.
To capture bandits, one had to capture the leader first.
It was enough to capture him!
Xiahou Yan looked at the carriage behind him and pleaded, “Elder Feng!”
The curtain of the carriage suddenly exploded, and a gray figure suddenly flashed out. With an unstoppable sharp killing intent, he suddenly rushed towards Wei Ting!
In the peach forest, Wei Ting, Wei Qing, and Ghostfear all felt a tremble from their souls.
Was this the expert from the City Lord Manor?
What a terrifying enemy!
Ghostfear’s expression changed drastically.. “Little Seven, dodge!”
