Chapter 246 Lure the snake out of its hole
Then she took the hairpin and walked towards the nearby village.
Finally, I asked a villager in a certain village. The woman was a young widow who had been in a close relationship with a man recently. However, she disappeared a few days ago. Some people said that she eloped with the man...
She followed this clue and traced it to Shangguan Ying.
It seems that Shangguan Ying is unaware of the situation and needs to go find Lin Wan'er.
In the darkness of the night, two figures, a man and a woman, quietly left the Shangguan residence, one in front and one behind, without anyone noticing...
The Lin Mansion, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is located in the western suburbs of the capital, one to the east and the other to the west of the Shangguan Mansion, running through the entire capital.
Bai Li took advantage of the night to unleash his special abilities and passed by Nangong Min like a gust of wind.
Yes, she did it on purpose. It was her fault for whispering with Shangguan Ying in the room for so long.
snort!
He actually thought of having a tryst in a woman's room under the pretext of tracking down her clues!
“Whoosh!”
Nangong Min felt a dark shadow coming towards him, and just as he was about to attack, it had already passed by him.
"What a fast movement!"
Nangong Min only saw a black shadow flash by, and didn't even touch the person.
He boasted that his lightness skills were not the best in the Great Zhou, but were considered top-notch. He never expected that there was someone who could be so fast!
This man's body movements were so quick that even his master couldn't catch up with him!
Bai Li snorted as he walked away, "So what if you're good at Qinggong? It's still faster than my supernatural power!"
However, supernatural powers consume a lot of mental energy. She hasn't used it for a long time since she and Nangong Min used it once at the Wei Wang Gold Mine.
Because her body had not yet been integrated with the original owner's, she could not raise her mental strength, and she almost died of mental exhaustion.
From then on, she didn't dare to use it easily, and even if she did, she didn't dare to use it too much.
Her special ability consumes mental energy, while the ancients' light skills consume internal energy. Both must be practiced and cannot be achieved overnight. For martial artists, the two seem to be similar, but in fact the training methods are very different.
Bai Li arrived at the Lin Mansion first and easily entered the wall with the help of a grappling hook.
The figure shrank like a civet cat and quickly found Lin Wan'er's boudoir following the strong smell of Chinese medicine.
“Whoosh!”
A short crossbow was stuck in her window. Lin Wan'er woke up with a start and immediately shouted, "Catch the assassin!"
"Miss, Miss, where is the assassin!"
Lan'er, the maid who was sleeping on the outer bed, ran into the room so fast that one of her shoes fell off.
"There, over there! By the window!"
Lin Wan'er was so scared that she kept shrinking into the bed, fearing that her head would be chopped off in the next second.
Although she might become disabled, the doctor said there is still hope of recovery, however slim, even if it is just a little bit, she doesn't want to give up, as she is in danger of dying now.
"Miss, there's only one arrow. Oh, there's a piece of paper underneath."
Lan'er rushed over but saw no one, so she used all her strength to pull out the crossbow arrow.
"Bring it here!"
Lin Wan'er was no longer afraid now. The paper must be a message, not a threat to her life.
"Lin Wan'er, I'm back. You're going to get your comeuppance for all the bad things you've done. Just wait!"
"Signed: Bai Li!"
Lin Wan'er finished reading softly, and her hands loosened. The body she had just supported sideways softened, and her buttocks hit the bed hard, causing her to gasp in pain.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Lan'er quickly helped her lie down. Lin Wan'er came to her senses from her fear and immediately ordered, "Quick, go find someone! Bai Li is back, and I want her dead!"
"Hey, hey, but now... can we go at daybreak?"
It’s a pitch-black night outside, and it looks like there are still two or three hours until dawn!
"You lazy bastard! Go, go now!"
If Lin Wan'er hadn't had difficulty walking, she would have kicked her a few times.
A lowly maid dares to bargain with her. She is bullying her because of her mobility problems!
Lan'er didn't dare to make another sound. She crawled out to wake up the coachman and went out of the house to do some business!
When Nangong Min arrived, Bai Li had already left. He only saw Lin Wan'er's personal maid go out in a carriage late at night, and he quietly followed her.
Bai Li not only delivered the letter to Lin Wan'er, but also sent a letter to Messenger Simon.
She finally set her sights on these two people, so she used a trick to lure them out.
She didn't show up openly now, but was just pretending to seek revenge on these two parties in secret. If they were determined to take her life, this would be their perfect opportunity—
As long as they kill Bai Li and make her disappear forever, no one will be able to trace it back to them.
By then, not only would she have avenged herself and her cousin, she would also be the most beautiful official lady in the entire capital, and even in the entire Great Zhou. She would have many young talents to choose from, and if she had the chance and was favored by the emperor, it would not be difficult for her to enter the palace as a concubine.
If she could enter the palace, the first person she would deal with would be Concubine Shu.
If you dare to hit her thirty times with a stick, you must be prepared for Lin Wan'er's revenge!
Bai Li delivered the letter at Lin's Mansion and returned to the Princess' Mansion. The mansion was in chaos because of her disappearance.
After Wu Lanzhi and the others confirmed that their boss had returned, they cried with joy.
Regardless of the fact that it was the middle of the night, the best time for sleep, the five hundred cavalrymen had just laid down after being exhausted from running around outside all day, and they all got up one by one to see their leader.
Only Luo Yang and Lu'er were missing. Luo Yang was nowhere to be found, and Lu'er was called into the palace by the emperor to inquire about the details of Bai Li's disappearance, so she stayed in the palace.
The emperor was worried that Bai Li didn't have any family around him and didn't know how to deal with the interpersonal relationships among his colleagues, so he specially assigned Lu'er to serve Bai Li. Now that Bai Li was missing, there was no point for her to stay here, so she naturally returned to the palace.
"Where have you been these days? We're so worried!"
Wu Lanzhi and Gao Dani were so carried away that they didn't even call each other by name, and just expressed their true feelings as sisters.
No one paid attention to these things at the moment. They asked what everyone was thinking. Five hundred pairs of eyes looked at Bai Li like 500-watt light bulbs, shining brightly.
His eyes were full of curiosity.
Bai Li took a deep breath, briefly described the situation at that time, and then made up an excuse.
"I hid on purpose to reveal the true identity of the murderer behind the scenes."
As for where they are hiding, this is confidential and cannot be disclosed.
Then she whispered that the news of her return must not be leaked, and that half of the people should go out to continue looking for people tomorrow, while the other half should stay in the mansion to continue the work.
Really, there was no work done in the mansion during the days she was away. If the construction had been completed on schedule, we could have officially moved in by now.
Although they live in the mansion now for the convenience of work, it is already a construction site before it is completed and it is a mess everywhere. How can it be as comfortable to live in a clean and tidy mansion after it is renovated?
"It's so abominable! They actually poisoned me! If it weren't for our boss's good fortune, I wouldn't be here right now..."
Gao Dani didn't dare to continue. If you ask her who among these female soldiers was the most dependent on Bai Li, it would be her.
