Chapter 345 Uninvited Guests
"Ping Yu had contact with Yin Lanci's men," Zhou Yuande reported to Xiao Jingfan. "It was he who secretly tipped off those people, which is why Abbey Master Jiang couldn't find their whereabouts."
Xiao Jingfan asked, "Is he also Yin Lanci's man?"
Zhou Yuande shook his head: "He's just after money."
Xiao Jingfan asked again: "What does he know about the whistleblower in the forest?"
"He was just doing the work for money, and he didn't know much about that group of people," Zhou Yuande said. "But according to him, he had seen those people blow the whistle, but he always thought that the whistle was silent."
Xiao Jingfan was about to ask something else when he suddenly heard the sound of a sword being drawn out of its sheath.
"Protect the young master!"
Lu Fei looked up at the purple-clad figure on top of the carriage, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. His expression was tense. He slowly tightened his grip on the knife and shouted, "Who is this?"
The man in purple had a layer of black veil covering his face, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.
He didn't say anything, but just stomped his foot, and the carriage under his feet suddenly broke into pieces.
Ping Yu, who was tied up like a dumpling with hemp rope, rolled out, with several external injuries on his body. He cried out in pain. It was obvious that Eunuch Zhou's interrogation method was not as gentle as Chu Liuzheng's.
The unexhausted internal energy vibrated in all directions with the man in purple as the center, extremely domineering.
Lu Fei held a knife in front of Xiao Jingfan and swung the knife three times to disperse the oncoming internal force. His knuckles were numb and his palms trembled slightly.
He was secretly surprised at how skilled the purple-clothed man was in martial arts.
Chen Xing and Si Yue each grabbed one of Chu Liuzheng's shoulders and retreated quickly, while at the same time using their palms to offset the shock of internal force, and stopped only after retreating four or five meters.
Chu Liuzheng only felt a tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing.
Seeing that her face turned pale, Siyue hurriedly patted her on the back several times to help her disperse her internal energy.
Chu Liuzheng groaned, and the tightness in his chest faded away, and he was finally able to breathe.
She quickly turned around and looked around.
First look at Xiao Jingfan's side, and see that the boss is fine and is going to look for his acquaintances again.
Feng Jing and Zhou Yuande were each protected by a secret guard behind them. Their faces were pale, and there was blood at the corner of Zhou Yuande's lips. Feng Jing was stuffing pills into his mouth.
Jiang Yao and Tong Niang were not far away. They looked normal and were not injured.
Several guards fell down. They were all closer to the carriage and were more affected by the internal force.
In the silence, only a cold voice was heard: "Catch him."
As soon as he finished speaking, several secret guards appeared out of thin air. The man in purple also moved at the same time, leaning over and grabbing Ping Yu.
Xiao Shiyi threw out three plum blossom darts, forcing the man in purple to retract his hand and slap him.
Xiao Da rushed forward, palm to palm, and his internal energy burst out.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Shiyi swung out his claws to hook the hemp rope on Ping Yu's body, pulled him out with force, and threw him backwards into the group of guards.
"Ah!" Ping Yu screamed in pain. The man in purple wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Xiao Da.
The other secret guards cooperated tacitly, blocking the purple-clothed man's retreat while approaching him step by step.
The guards were on the outside, ready to patch up any gaps at any time.
Lu Fei held a knife to protect Xiao Jingfan, and followed the man in purple closely to prevent him from using that domineering move again.
Xiao Jingfan stared coldly at the man in purple and gestured towards Chen Xing not far away.
Seeing this, Chen Xing immediately ran over, dragged the unconscious Ping Yu away from the group of guards, and took care of him personally.
Feng Jing ran over while watching the fight between the secret guards and the purple-clothed man and asked, "Are you hurt?"
"Sister Liu Zheng was injured by the internal force." Although Si Yue responded in time, the internal force of the man in purple was too strange and overbearing. Chu Liuzheng did not know martial arts, so she still suffered some minor injuries, but not as serious as vomiting blood.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jing immediately took Chu Liuzheng's pulse.
Chu Liuzheng had never suffered internal injuries before, so he thought internal injuries should be more serious than external injuries, so he stared at him nervously: "How is it?"
"It's nothing serious." Feng Jing withdrew his hand. "I'll get you some medicine when we get to the city. You'll be fine after taking it for two days."
Chu Liuzheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully at Siyue.
If it weren't for Siyue, she would have been vomiting blood like Eunuch Zhou.
Feng Jing craned his neck to look in the direction of the fiercest fighting. He saw a figure in purple twisting and turning among the secret guards. He sighed, "Even under siege, he's managed to hold out until now. This figure in purple is really amazing. Who is he?"
"You can't even see him with his face covered. Are you too ugly to be seen in public?" Chen Xing tied the unconscious Ping Yu to a tree and stood on tiptoe to watch the fight.
"The skin on her hands is quite white and the proportions are good. She should be pretty good-looking." Chu Liuzheng joined the discussion and began to work out the details.
"Not necessarily. The body shape can be improved through training, but the face is natural and cannot be changed." Chen Xing was obsessed with the fact that the man in purple who suddenly appeared was just ugly.
"Who says your face can't be changed?" Feng Jing sat down and corrected him, "Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. As long as the bones are good, you can make the skin as beautiful as you want."
"You have this skill?" Chu Liuzheng looked at him in surprise.
"Of course. To be a good doctor, you have to know a little bit about everything." Feng Jing took out a handful of fried peanuts from his purse and shared them with Chu Liuzheng and the other two.
Chenxing contributed two handfuls of melon seeds.
Chu Liuzheng contributed four pieces of lactose.
Siyue... There is no food in Siyue's purse.
She held the peanuts, melon seeds and nougat in her hands and looked at the three people in front of her with mixed feelings.
That man in purple is an assassin with great martial arts skills. Even if you are not afraid, you should at least be nervous, right?
"Wow, flying so high!"
"Oh, I almost caught you!"
"Hit, hit, the poison dart has stuck!"
Xiao Jingfan was watching very attentively, but he couldn't help but hear people peeling peanuts and cracking melon seeds not far away, and exclamations were heard from time to time.
He turned his head and looked over.
Well, Chu Liuzheng and the other three sat in a row under the tree where Ping Yu was tied up, watching intently, as if they were watching a big show.
Seeing that the man in purple was retreating step by step, it was only a matter of time before he was captured by Ansheng.
Chu Liuzheng stuffed a piece of nougat into his mouth and turned around to look around. Unexpectedly, his gaze met Xiao Jingfan's.
[We're almost winning, why is the tyrant looking so gloomy? ]
She blinked her eyes, took out two wrapped nougat from her purse and shook them at Xiao Jingfan, meaning, do you want to eat them?
Xiao Jingfan didn't know what was wrong with him and actually nodded.
[Uh, I was just being polite to prove I didn't want to eat alone without the big boss. Doesn't Tyrant even find osmanthus cake too sweet? Why did you nod?]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
It's your honor that I am willing to eat your candy!
Seeing that the big boss's eyes had narrowed, Chu Liuzheng didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly handed the nougat over.
The nougat was small, and she was worried that the emperor might not have enough, so she added two more and also gave one each to Lu Fei and Zhou Yuande who were nearby.
As for Jiang Yao and Tong Niang, since they were far away and on the tree, she asked Chen Xing to throw it over.
The guards had no time to eat, so she stopped working.
Seeing her spinning around like a top, leaving no one behind, Xiao Jingfan couldn't help but twitch his lips. He finally knew where this woman's popularity came from.
Amid the aroma of nougat, a large net descended from the sky, tightening on all sides and catching the man in purple who was trying to escape.
