Chapter 442 A Hidden Card

ars, she only had this one daughter. She was raised with pampering since childhood and was relatively delicate in her daily life. Upon hearing this news suddenly, it was certainly unacceptable to her....At that moment, Wang Meimei was by Lian Yi's side, but her reaction wasn't as quick as Lian Yi's. An arrow struck her mount, the horse was injured and bolted, flinging Wang Meimei off its back. It was precisely because of this that she dodged the rain of arrows.

After the ripples of the attack subsided, Xiao Shu turned his horse around and rode over. He scooped up Wang Meimei who was lying on the ground, dodging arrows.

"Mei Mei, are you okay"

"Xiao Gege, I'm fine, just got a fright!"

Wang Meimei said with lingering fear.

"May May, are you alright Did you get hurt"

The sound of ripples also followed, inquiring with concern.

"I'm okay, I just got thrown off my horse, and my horse is injured."

Wang Meimei looked at the fallen horse, her face full of despair.

"As long as he's alright, I'll just buy another horse when we reach the next county."

Ripples smiled reassuringly.

All the martial arts heroes who had rushed into the mountains earlier had now returned, each carrying bows and arrows. They gathered together to discuss why they had been ambushed.

The old snake's eyes were the most venomous. He looked around and, leaning on his ebony serpent staff, walked over to Ripple and said:

"The one who shoots arrows in the dark attacks your target!"

"It seems so, but my wife hasn't offended anyone, has she"

Ripples frowned and then took a bow, examining it carefully before saying:

“This is a very ordinary bow and arrow, with no markings on it. It proves that the other party doesn't want to expose their identity. I should have killed some of those people shooting arrows from the shadows just now. What clues could they have on them”

"We only found these bows and arrows, and bloodstains, but no bodies!"

One of the brothers of Wuji Men immediately spoke.

They must have seen that they couldn't succeed, so they quickly withdrew. They even took the bodies with them when they left. It's clear they were professional assassins.

Another person added.

Xiao Shu glanced at the ripples, then at the carriage, and loudly asked:

"Folks, is anyone hurt"

"No!"

"How could someone so calculating possibly harm us!"

A buzz of conversation filled the air.

"Since no one was injured, we should speed up our progress. It's easy to run into ambushes in these forests."

Xiao Shu spoke directly.

This time no one objected, everyone immediately took hold of their own horses and continued on.

Wang Meimei, claiming she had no mount, rode with her long-time crush, Xiao Ge, slowly making their way to the middle of the procession. While Lian Yi still drove the carriage at the end of the line.

"Master Wang, it seems your whereabouts have been exposed."

Li is currently in the car, while Wang Ya zu, injured, is huddled inside. Wang Zhenzhen is bandaging his shoulder wound.

Wang Yaozu, after all, was not a martial artist. His reaction was still a beat slow. Although Lian Yi's reaction was quick and she threw the opponent into the carriage in time, an arrow still grazed his shoulder, wounding his left shoulder.

Wang Yaozu, moaning "Aiya Aiya," was bandaged up before he weakly said:

"Could you be the fellow I met at the鏢局, Hai Zang Hong, grandson of the Hai Yun Si chief"

"You'd have to ask him or the people who did it."

A ripple struck the horse's rump, urging it to go faster.

"When we reach the next county, I'll give you a new disguise. This time, no one will recognize you, not even your own father."

The ripples immediately gave their assurance.

Wang Yaozu could only bow his head in defeat. He never expected that his former classmates, whom he had once been at odds with, would now want to take his life. He didn't feel like they had forged such a deep hatred against him.

At the front of the team, She Lao was talking with the two brothers from Wujimen, the center of their conversation being ripples.

"About how many of those who shot arrows in the dark have died"

"Judging by the bloodstains, there must have been at least ten people here."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Feng said.

"If they don't run, more people will die."

Zhang Nian followed up with a sentence.

"Have you seen what moves the woman in red used Can you tell which school of martial arts she belongs to"

The old serpent continued to ask.

She used her internal energy to control the sword, deflecting the arrows. Then, she used water droplets as concealed weapons, killing the people ambushed in the forest. Her internal energy surpasses both of us brothers.

"To kill someone with water, this is the first time I've seen it! I can't tell where she learned her skills, but we could ask Wáng Méiměi from the Gossip Gate. They seem to be good friends and should know about this woman."

Zhang Nianxin was very considerate and immediately provided the person to ask.

And at this time, Xiao Shu and Wang Meimei, who were riding together, were also discussing ripples.

"You said he was a disciple of the Su Nü Palace"

"Yes, Ripple told me personally."

"It has been six years since the Su Nü Gong disappeared from the Jianghu. I never expected that she would actually be from the Su Nü Gong."

"I also asked Liàn Yī about the 'Eternal Youth' martial art of their Sù Nǚ Gōng. She didn't hide anything and told me that the Sù Nǚ Gōng's internal energy method was suitable for women to practice, having the effect of slowing down aging, but it couldn't achieve eternal youth. The rumors circulating in the Jianghu exaggerated it."

Wang Meimei said without any concealment.

"Do you believe"

"What's there not to believe Everyone knows that when a certain technique is cultivated to its peak, it can indeed delay aging. However, it's impossible to achieve eternal youth. If such a technique truly existed, the Su Nü Palace wouldn't be unknown in the martial arts world."

Wang Meime isn't stupid, nor is she the type to blindly follow the crowd. Furthermore, her interactions with Lianyi these past few days have made her feel that the other girl is straightforward in personality, beautiful, and has high fighting ability. Most importantly, she doesn't have any feelings for her Xiao Gege.

Just because of this point, she felt that she could be friends with Lianyi, and just now Lianyi's reaction to the enemy was enough to make her admire.

"Was she really just escorting the ladies on the carriage back to visit their families" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She said so.

"Then spend more time with her and see if you can find out more about the others. After all, she's a newcomer, and we don't know her well."

Xiao Shu reminded him with a word.

"Okay, Ripples is easy to get along with."

Wang Meimei muttered softly.

Qi Qizi, who was still in Huaiyou County, received the news that Lian Yi and her group had left with a group of martial artists as soon as possible.

"Master, would you like to send someone to track him"

"No need, we'll go after them once we're done here."

Qi Qi waved his hand and said.

He remained here to help the county magistrate of Huai'rou County root out all the Mongol spies within the county, as well as those who had colluded with the Mongols for personal gain. He completely eliminated them all in one fell swoop.

Moreover, along the human trafficking route of "Fengqi Wutong," the dark guards also found a way to bypass border defenses and enter the Meng Han two countries. This was a very important discovery, so he sent a carrier pigeon letter back to the Imperial City that day.

The Emperor listened to the report from the head of the Imperial Guard's Division C, and a smile deepened on his face. He uttered three "good"s in succession.

“You should personally lead a team to inspect the entire route thoroughly. Determine if it’s suitable for cavalry, and whether we can stealthily infiltrate Meng Guo undetected. We need to have a clear understanding of all aspects. If war breaks out between our two nations, this could become our trump card.”nother cup, but Ripple didn't touch it.Zeng Hongliang said nothing, just his eyes flickered for a moment, then he continued the previous topic."So I want to take the entire Southeast Asian market, and...
