When the figure was still one step away from A Kuang, it finally stopped, stood there for a while, and then slowly turned around.
After seeing the man's face clearly, Xiao Nanhui's pupils suddenly shrank and he stood there in a daze.
That face, which still had a hint of youthfulness, had grown a lot compared to a few months ago, but there was still a hint of femininity.
It’s Anlu.
The descendant of the criminal An family of Murhe in Huozhou was abandoned in a village house in the wilderness due to a failed mission a few months ago, but now he appears in a forbidden place thousands of miles away.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
"This must be Mr. A Kuang, right?" An Lu's voice was low. He had his back to A Kuang and seemed to have no interest in him.
"It is me. I heard that Lord An was coming, so I followed your instructions and waited here early. But I don't know what it is, why don't you move to the village to talk..."
"Did it alarm anyone else?"
Ah Kuang was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Of course not."
An Lu waved his hand gently, and the people behind him came forward to check A Kuang and his men one by one. Xiao Nanhui then discovered that those people seemed to have the same mark tattooed on the back of their necks.
"You should know that this was ordered by Lord Yan. He said that when he was at the Sun Mansion earlier, he saw a strange woman running towards this place, and asked me to come and take a look."
Lord Yan?
The image of the man in purple and his chilling martial arts skills flashed before her eyes.
She'd been careless. She'd been seriously injured, and anxious to escape Kesang's clutches, so she must have let some of her physical skills slip. She'd also been unconscious the rest of the way, and it was unknown how Wu Xiaoliu had managed to carry her into the village. For that man to be a Bai family henchman, he must have been an expert at judging people, and perhaps he'd already suspected her.
She had so much to thank the Bijiang village for, which was why the other party came to her just now.
"Mr. Yan might be referring to Pan Yaoer, the current leader of this village?" A Kuang reacted very quickly and grasped the key point in an instant.
An Lu's interest was piqued. "Who is the current village chief? Where is the previous village chief?"
"Pan Meir went to the Sun Mansion to congratulate her earlier, but for some reason she didn't return. Judging from the time, it was the time when the new leader was appointed. This new leader also said that she was Pan Meir's sister..."
Before A Kuang could continue to speak, An Lu interrupted him coldly.
"Where is she? Lead the way."
******************
All the grass is killed and frost falls.
The low bushes in Bijiang were covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, mixed with withered grass. In the deepest part, you couldn't even see a human leg.
As the sun set, the cold air settled, and a mist rose in the forest. A swiftly moving figure tore through the mist, leaving behind a long trail of white smoke.
Xiao Nanhui dragged his newly healed leg and ran quickly among the dead leaves, not daring to stop for a moment.
Although An Lu brought only a few people, they were all fully armed. Now that they knew something was fishy, they would definitely be moving at a fast pace.
She knew that A Kuang was also a local and was no less unfamiliar with the road than she was. But fortunately, she had not wasted the past three months and had walked through all the hills and wastelands around the village. The shortest and quickest route was engraved in her mind. If she put in ten times the effort, she might be able to gain the time of an incense stick.
This was her first time being a deserter.
It wasn't that she had no chance of winning against him, but she couldn't afford to lose. Once her impersonation was confirmed, she wouldn't be as lucky as she had been before. She couldn't afford to fail here. One death would be enough, but she was afraid three more lives would be lost.
An Lu's face seemed to be still before his eyes. Was he a member of the Bai family? Was it his master who summoned him to Bijiang?
At that time, his target was also the secret seal, so it would make sense if it was the Bai family who was behind it.
But what was his connection to the Puhuna organization? Were those assassins trained by the Bai family? If so, why had Wu Xiaoliu already crossed paths with them as a child?
You have to know that the Yu'an Rebellion happened more than ten years ago, and what Wu Xiaoliu said happened at least twenty years ago.
Xiao Nanhui felt as if there was a tangled mess in her head, the knots were getting tighter and tighter, making it hard for her to breathe.
There was only one thing she was very sure of at the moment, and that was that she must not let An Lu see her face.
Although they had only fought briefly in Huozhou, she did not dare to slack off in her dealings with this half-grown boy. The hatred and distortion in his eyes before parting were so glaring that they were enough to drive a mortal to do extreme things.
Bijiang, I’m afraid I can’t stay here.
This idea had actually been lingering in her mind since last night, but it only took shape just now.
She also had a vague premonition that the information about Puhuna might be the most important piece of information for her journey west. However, the Night Owl would not return for another three days, and she had no time.
The sun was struggling on the horizon.
Just before the last ray of sunset disappeared, Xiao Nanhui finally saw the outline of the village.
"Wu Xiaoliu!"
She didn't care that her lungs were about to explode and screamed at the top of her lungs.
There was no movement in the village, and no one was seen around.
"Wu Xiaoliu! Wu Xiaoliu..."
She shouted twice more, and just when she was about to shout for the fourth time, a round figure tremblingly emerged from under the stilt bamboo house, holding half a smoking fire starter in his hand.
Xiao Nanhui breathed a sigh of relief and pulled him over: "The people in the village..."
Wu Xiaoliu swallowed nervously, "They all left as you instructed. They left half an hour ago. I saw you didn't come back..."
