Chapter 240: Terrifying Thoughts
As for Feng, no one cares about her.
She and Ma Ma were riding in a carriage. Her eyes were red and she looked at a loss. She leaned on Ma Ma and sobbed.
Su Yue snorted coldly. This Feng was completely despised.
But she did not relax her surveillance on Feng. Once people no longer care about anything, they will often make a desperate bet and would rather die with someone else.
Su Yue returned to the carriage. She was sitting alone in the carriage, and Murong Li followed beside the carriage on horseback.
The team walked for more than dozens of miles. At noon, everyone found a place to rest, some cooked, and some solved physiological problems.
Su Yue, the old lady, Madam Yun and several other women entered a hidden place together. Before they could finish their work, they were met with the first wave of attacks.
With the help of the thousand personal soldiers, the group of people who came were completely wiped out, and the women didn't even notice anything as the fight was over.
Su Yue's mental strength was of no use at all, mainly because she wanted to see the combat effectiveness of the thousand guards.
The personal guards are the personal guards, worthy of being the emperor's soldiers. Their combat effectiveness is even stronger than that of Qin Lingtou and others, and is almost as strong as that of masters.
When Su Yue and the others returned, Murong Li was checking the identities and backgrounds of that group of people, but found nothing, no marks at all.
The second wave of robbery and killing took place in a valley, the Jiaoshan Gorge, which was very suitable for an ambush. However, before the gang of thieves could make a move, they were surrounded by Murong Li and his men.
The group of thieves never dreamed that there was a magical person like Su Yue. They found them ambushing on both sides of the valley before the team arrived.
Naturally, Murong Li led his personal soldiers and went ahead, sneaking up from the back mountain of the valley and directly wiped out the group of people.
The third wave turned out to be a group of bandits. These bandits were purely robbers and not killers sent by anyone.
The bandits had hit a wall this time. With the emperor's one thousand personal soldiers, they simply wiped out the group of bandits and collected a large amount of supplies. They took the carriage in the bandit's lair and followed them on the road.
They didn't have to worry about supplies along the way, as there was enough for more than a thousand people to go to the capital and still have some left.
This shows how much this group of bandits robbed.
It was already evening that day, but the team was still in the wilderness. Murong Li ordered them to camp outdoors tonight and immediately arranged for people to set up camp, make a fire and cook.
"Are you tired?"
Murong Li came back after making arrangements and asked Su Yue, who shook her head: "How can I be tired? Pay attention to Grandma. Feng has been very quiet these days, which is not in line with her style."
"Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on her."
"The key point is that Ma Ma. I saw her looking at Grandma's carriage several times today, and she was outside again tonight. We have to be careful of her."
"Okay, if you have anything else, tell me all at once."
Murong Li kissed her on the forehead. Thanks to Yue'er's spiritual spring water, they were able to maintain their physical strength. At the speed they were traveling, the men were a little overwhelmed.
Su Yue glared at him, as if she was being too nagging.
Murong Li was confused by her stare and had to go see Old Madam Yun first.
"Where's the old lady?"
Murong Li walked over and saw that there was no one in the carriage, so he asked the servant who was driving.
"Your Highness, the old lady and the nanny have gone over there."
The driver pointed to the grove of trees nearby.
"Hurry, let's go."
Murong Li was just about to go and take a look when Su Yue came over and pulled him away.
"how's it going?"
Murong Li asked anxiously.
"It's not a big deal. I discovered it early and knocked Mama unconscious."
"This vicious woman."
Murong Li cursed harshly, and the two rushed into the grove.
"Grandma, are you okay?"
The two of them ran over and asked at the same time.
Madam Yun was sitting on the ground, breathing heavily, her hair a little messy, and her face pale. When she saw Murong Li and the others coming, she raised her head and shook it, "Grandmother is fine."
"Grandma, I'll help you back."
Su Yue went over and helped Madam Yun up together with the nanny.
Old Madam Yun stood firm, her legs trembling, and she pointed at Nanny Ma on the ground.
"Grandma, please go back. I'm here."
Murong Li pursed his lips and said that he understood what Madam Yun meant. She wanted him to handle it in secret and not make it public.
Su Yue sighed, and together with the nanny, helped Old Madam Yun back, let her lie back in the carriage, and fed her some spiritual spring water.
"Grandma, please take a rest. I'll be back soon." Su Yue said.
"Go, grandma is fine." Old Madam Yun nodded slightly, turned sideways and closed her eyes.
Su Yue looked at her sympathetically and came to Murong Li.
It turned out that Nanny Ma followed Old Madam Yun into the grove. When Old Madam Yun squatted down, she quietly walked behind Nanny Ma, preparing to cover her mouth with a handkerchief soaked with sleeping pills.
When Su Yue saw this, she used her mental power to knock Ma Ma unconscious in time.
Only when Ma Ma fell to the ground did the two realize there was someone behind them.
When the two saw clearly that it was Ma Ma, their faces changed.
But when they saw her faint for no apparent reason and looked around to see no one was around, they became even more terrified.
Old Madam Yun collapsed directly on the ground. She knew in her heart that Nanny Ma was going after her. If Nanny Ma had not fainted, they would have been the ones to die.
Old Madam Yun was even more heartbroken. She believed that she had treated Feng well and had never bullied her. But she stopped Yunyan from marrying her grandson. Where did the deep hatred come from that made her want to get rid of her?
As a grandmother, can't she be the master of her granddaughter's affairs?
"Has it been dealt with?"
Su Yue arrived and asked Murong Li.
Murong Li shook his head. He pointed at Ma's fingertips and said, "Yue'er, look."
"This Ma Ma actually knows martial arts." Su Yue was also surprised. This Ma Ma looked very inconspicuous, but she was actually a master in using weapons.
"And here, look."
Murong Li threw away Ma Ma's right wrist again, and there was a character for "five" on the inside of the wrist.
"What does this represent?"
Su Yue didn't understand what it meant, but she knew that these five characters must have a representative meaning.
Murong Li took a deep breath and said quietly, "In addition to the ten thousand guards in public, the royal family also has five secret guards. One is in the hands of the royal family, two are in the hands of the emperor, one is directly passed down to the crown prince, and one is directly passed down to the empresses of all generations. The one with the five characters is the empress's branch.
As far as I know, Ma Ma has been serving Feng since she was little."
"That……"
Su Yue felt a tingling sensation on her back when she heard this. She knew a little about Feng's family. They were once a prominent family in the capital, but later gradually declined.
The reason for the decline was that some promising people in the family died from time to time, and no reason could be found.
Now the two of them understood.
Later, Feng married into General Yun's mansion, General Yun died in battle, and the Yun family had few descendants. These things can be connected together.
There were many families in the capital that were once prosperous, but later gradually declined. If these were all caused by the royal family, then the royal family's actions are simply terrifying when you think about it.
