Liu Zhanyu was genuinely worried. Jiang Qiao was all alone. Putting aside the wild beast, the temperature alone was unbearable for most people.

He had to quickly teach the children how to stay warm in the snow and how to avoid being noticed.

He regretted it all; why hadn't he given Jiang Qiao some practical lessons back then? Now it was too late for regrets, so he could only say whatever came to mind.

In the afternoon, Jiang Qiao carried the things that Liu Zhanyu had prepared and headed to the back mountain.

Liu Zhanyu watched the child walk away with mixed feelings. In this kind of weather, not to mention Jiang Qiao, even he, a grown man, felt freezing cold. He was especially worried about leaving Jiang Qiao alone in the snow.

But given the current situation, just as Jiang Qiao said, the arrangements are already made and cannot be changed. The only one who can move is herself. Sigh, I hope this girl is safe and sound, and I hope that old woman runs into the wolves directly, saving Jiang Qiao a lot of trouble.

Actually, compared to Leng, he was more worried about Jiang Qiao's safety. Jiang Qiao was still too young. Compared to the other party, she lacked not only experience but also practical experience.

Liu Zhanyu sighed and quickly contacted Song Shutian. When he learned that Jiang Qiao had done this, Song Shutian remained silent for a long time.

"Let her give it a try. Some people have already headed over there. You should get ready."

There's no point in saying more. Jiang Qiao has already set off, and Song Shutian also thinks that Jiang Qiao's judgment should be correct.

However, he felt that it was really hard to say who would win if Jiang Qiao faced that woman. But since things had already come to this, there was nothing he could do about it. Perhaps by now, that woman had already touched him.

Jiang Qiao walked and cleaned up the traces as she went. When she reached what she thought was a suitable distance, she stopped, cleaned up the traces, and began to dig a snow nest.

She stood close to a pine tree and a thicket of bushes, so that even if she peeked out, the other person might not notice.

Staying in the snowdrift wasn't easy; it was genuinely cold. Even though she was wearing fur underwear, the bone-chilling cold penetrated right to her heart.

Especially since that woman hadn't shown up yet, she really couldn't understand it. Could it be that her judgment was wrong?

Since we can't see anyone for the time being, let's go inside to warm up and keep an eye on things outside.

Jiang Qiao had eaten and drunk her fill inside, and was in good spirits, but she hadn't relaxed at all.

As soon as she came out, she faintly heard a rustling sound, initially thinking it was the wind blowing through the branches.

However, a voice immediately came over, "Madam, could there be enemy sentries here?"

Jiang Qiao then heard a woman's voice: "Look in the snow, are there any footprints? If not, it means there's no one here."

We already investigated before, and there are no sentries here at all. Let's rest for a bit, eat something to replenish our energy, and then we'll make our move after they've all fallen asleep.

"Remember, the sentry post up ahead is yours. I'll take care of the people inside. Once I've succeeded here, you immediately send two short and one long signal to the people over there, three times, understand?"

"clear--"

Jiang Qiao then heard the sound getting closer and closer. The two people stopped under a pine tree not far from her. The man quickly took out something and spread it on the snow so that the woman could sit down.

The woman pounded her legs, sighing, "Sigh, I can't deny getting old—"

The man was still flattering her: "Madam, you're not old. If you said you were thirty, no one would doubt it. Here, have something to eat."

The woman's eyes darted around, and the man, seeing this, couldn't help but offer a few words of comfort: "I've looked around, there's no one here, not a trace. Madam, why don't you put on another cotton-padded coat? It's too cold sitting here; the wind is chilling to the bone."

The woman sighed, "There's no other way, just hang in there. Once we get this done, you'll be living the high life."

The man said obsequiously, "That's right, Madam. You've always been kind to people. It's our great fortune to be able to work with you."

"Madam, why don't we dig a snow nest? If we wait like this, we'll freeze to death, and there's still a while before dark."

The woman sighed, "You must have had a tiring journey, and you still had to take care of me. I'll remember all of that, and I'll definitely not treat you badly in the future."

Jiang Qiao sneered inwardly. This woman was really good at winning people over. She had already exposed her whereabouts, yet she still dared to make such a boastful promise. She wondered what this woman relied on to make her underling live such a life of luxury.

Clearly, the woman was also freezing. She had been sweating profusely from climbing the mountain, and when she suddenly sat down, her soaked underwear caused her body temperature to drop rapidly. Even though they were both wearing a lot of clothes, in this weather, no amount of clothing could keep out the cold wind.

So, when the man made the suggestion, the woman didn't refuse. Jiang Qiao listened to their conversation from inside the snowdrift, and she started thinking about how to get rid of them as quickly as possible.

She genuinely didn't want to fight this woman. To be honest, she had no idea how strong the woman was. The key issue was that she had a man with her, and if he were weak, the woman probably wouldn't have taken him up the mountain.

Therefore, she definitely doesn't want to confront the enemy head-on. If she's not mistaken, that lady should be her third uncle, right?

Unfortunately, hiding inside, she couldn't see what the other person's face looked like at all.

When Jiang Qiao heard the woman instructing the man to dig a snow nest, she secretly lifted the disguised snow off her head and saw the woman and the man, one standing to the side and the other with his back to her.

Jiang Qiao was not about to let such a good opportunity slip by; once it was gone, it would be gone forever.

Suddenly, the silver needles, coated with medicine, shot out at the two men.

Men weren't Jiang Qiao's focus; as long as the needle could get into the other person's body, that was enough. Her main target was that woman.

Although she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, her intuition told her that she couldn't give this person a chance to fight back. Therefore, Jiang Qiao shot out far more needles this time than when dealing with prey.

Upon hearing the strange sound, the woman reacted instinctively, attempting to dodge the sneak attack with a somersault. However, Jiang Qiao gave her no chance at all, and before she could even turn around, the second wave of needles pierced her body.

The man realized something was wrong and tried to turn around, but unfortunately, he found that he couldn't move his legs.

"Who's there? Show yourself! I see you—"

Unfortunately, no sooner had he finished speaking than he was hit by another poisoned needle. Jiang Qiao didn't go out, just waiting for the two of them to take their poison.

The woman tried desperately to pull out her manhood, but unfortunately, she was too weak.

Jiang Qiao's main target was this person. She applied medicine to the needles and injected various acupoints. Her condition was much more serious than that man's.
