Chapter 189: Sneak Attack
However, after his 'death', the capital should be in turmoil, with various forces competing secretly.
Why didn't the Second Prince stay in the capital to secretly play games with Emperor Cheng and the Fifth and Sixth Princes, vying for support from various forces, but instead came to Hejian Prefecture on the border?
Even if it was to consolidate the Qu family's support, he wouldn't have to make this trip in person...
Qu Wenmin glanced and saw the exile team, but they were obviously in a hurry. Not only did they not stop, but they shouted "Gee!" and whipped their horses to go faster.
Lian Feng obviously noticed them as well. He put his head close to the carriage window and apparently whispered something into the carriage.
Sure enough, a corner of the carriage's curtain was slightly lifted. Although she couldn't see clearly who was inside, Chen Fenghe clearly felt that the person in the carriage was looking at her.
Chen Fenghe guessed that the person sitting inside was Qu Wan'er. She had been beaten and wronged by him, so she probably wouldn't just let it go.
However, since the Qu family did not take the initiative to provoke her, she was too lazy to pay attention to them. She was just secretly planning to go to the space at night to make more poison pills for use.
After watching them walk away, the exile team turned from the village path onto the official road and continued on their journey.
There was nothing to do all day except hurrying on the road. In the evening, we arrived at a slightly more prosperous town.
Chen Wu still found an inn he was familiar with and let everyone stay there.
Chen Fenghe asked for two rooms, one for Qin Mengyue and her three children to stay in, and the other for everyone to take turns taking a bath.
Although she could take a shower once she entered the space, Qin Mengyue and the three little ones had no other choice. Besides, she couldn't tell anyone about taking a shower in the space. If she didn't take a shower in the inn from time to time, others would think that she hadn't taken a shower for half a month or a month.
Although this was a common occurrence in ancient times, especially in winter, Chen Fenghe really couldn't stand it and would go into the space to wash almost every night.
She asked the inn waiter to bring up some hot water, then she bolted the door, took off all her clothes, and quickly jumped into the hot water.
I have to say, it’s more comfortable to take a shower in the space.
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but think in her heart while she stirred the hot water in the wooden basin.
At this moment, a slight sound was suddenly heard from the window.
Chen Fenghe frowned, and suddenly stood up from the wooden basin, making a series of crisp water sounds, then spun around and jumped out, quickly putting on the clothes placed next to her, while her slender hands were already holding a few silver needles.
The sound of water obviously startled the person outside the window. That person no longer hid his tracks, but kicked the window open. Then a man in night clothes rushed towards Chen Fenghe like a sharp arrow, aiming for her throat.
Chen Fenghe's heart trembled. The people who came this time were much more skilled than those in the past!
She waved her slender hand and shot out the silver needle in her hand.
However, a cold light suddenly flashed in the assassin's hand, and he actually blocked all the silver needles!
The man chuckled twice and said, "Haha, the young lady is quite fierce! This is more interesting!"
Chen Fenghe frowned slightly and quickly switched to melee mode, intending to use his grappling skills to throw him over his shoulder and kick him a few more times as soon as the man got close.
Although this fictional dynasty has skills like lightness and internal strength, she may not be defeated in close combat!
Suddenly, the man stretched out his hand and slapped Chen Fenghe.
This palm strike carried a fierce force, and Shen Fenghe's pupils suddenly contracted. She felt as if she was being cut by thousands of small knives before the palm strike even touched her.
This... is what is called a palm wind with internal force, right?
The opponent was coming at him with great force, and the palm was about to hit Shen Fenghe's chest. Suddenly, a white figure suddenly rushed in from the window, then quickly came to Shen Fenghe's side, and faced the palm of the man in black with one palm.
In an instant, the room seemed to be affected by the collision of two invisible forces, and a vase on a table was violently shattered!
Chen Fenghe: “…”
Holy shit! If that palm strike had hit her just now, wouldn't her internal organs have been shattered and she would have gone straight to hell?
The man in white who broke in was naturally Xiao Yunshuo. The man in black was obviously no match for his internal strength. He was forced back several steps by the palm strike taken by Xiao Yunshuo and directly forced to the window. Then the man in black suddenly made a "hmm" sound and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Yunshuo, however, appeared unharmed. He turned halfway and asked, "Are you okay?"
Shen Fenghe came back to her senses and quickly shook her head, "I'm fine."
The man in black looked at Xiao Yunshuo in shock. Suddenly, his pupils contracted and he said in shock, "So it's..."
However, he stopped talking halfway and jumped out of the window. Even his voice came from a distance: "Today, I have bad luck. I have failed in my mission. Farewell!"
Xiao Yunshuo did not chase after him. Instead, Shen Fenghe hurried to the window to check, but was grabbed when she passed by Xiao Yunshuo.
"Yuan Xu is chasing you outside, you... put on your clothes first..."
