Chapter 442 A trump card
Wang Meimei was next to Lianyi at the time, but her reaction was not as fast as Lianyi's. The arrow hit her mount, and the injured horse ran away, throwing Wang Meimei off. It was because of this that she avoided the rain of arrows.
After Lianyi had the situation under control, Xiao Shu turned his horse around and rushed over, and finally picked up Wang Meimei who was lying on the ground avoiding arrows.
"Meimei, are you okay?"
"Brother Xiao, I'm fine, I just got scared!"
Wang Meimei said with a lingering fear on her face.
"Meimei, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Lianyi's voice was also heard soon after, asking with concern.
"I'm fine, I was just thrown off the horse and my horse is injured."
Wang Meimei looked at the horse that had fallen to the ground, her face filled with tears but no tears.
"As long as he's alright, I'll buy another one when I get to the next county."
Ripple smiled and consoled.
At this time, all the heroes who had rushed into the forest had turned back, holding some bows and arrows in their hands, and gathered together to discuss the reasons why they were ambushed.
The old snake had the sharpest eyes. He looked around, then walked over with his ebony snake staff and said to Lianyi:
"The one who shot the arrow from behind is targeting you!"
"It seems so, but my wife has never offended anyone!"
Lian Yi frowned and took the bow. After taking a closer look, he said:
"This is a very common bow and arrow. There is no mark on it, which proves that the other party does not want to reveal his identity. I should have killed some people who shot arrows in secret just now. Do they have any clues?"
"We only found these bows and arrows, and some blood, but no bodies!"
One of the brothers from Wujimen said immediately.
"They probably saw that they couldn't succeed, so they quickly withdrew. When they withdrew, they even took the bodies away. It's obvious that they were assassins."
another added.
Xiao Shu looked at Lian Yi, then at the carriage, and asked loudly:
"Everyone, is anyone injured?"
"No!"
"How could such a scheming person hurt us!"
Everyone talked at once.
"Since no one is injured, let's speed up. It's easy to get ambushed in this kind of forest."
Xiao Shu said directly.
This time no one objected, and everyone immediately led their horses and continued forward.
Wang Meimei used the excuse of not having a mount to ride on the same horse with her beloved brother Xiao, and slowly walked to the middle of the team, while Lianyi drove the carriage and still walked at the end of the team.
"Prince Wang, it seems that your whereabouts have been exposed."
Lianyi was driving the car at this time, while Wang Yaozu was huddled in the car because of his injury. Wang Zhenzhen was bandaging the wound on his shoulder.
After all, Wang Yaozu was not a martial artist, so he was a beat slow to react. Although Lianyi reacted quickly and threw the opponent into the carriage in time, an arrow still grazed his shoulder and scratched his left shoulder.
Wang Yaozu cried out "Ouch, ouch" as his wound was bandaged, and then he said weakly:
"Is it the classmate I met when I went to the escort agency, the grandson of the Director of the Maritime Affairs Department, Hai Zanghong?"
"You'll have to ask him or the group of people who did it."
Lianyi whipped the horse on its butt to make it speed up.
"When we get to the next county, I'll change your outfit. I guarantee that no one will recognize you this time. Even if you stand in front of your biological father, he won't be able to recognize you."
Lian Yi immediately gave assurance.
Wang Yaozu could only agree dejectedly. He didn't expect that his former classmate, who he used to be at odds with, actually wanted to kill him today. He didn't feel that he had formed such a mortal feud with the other party.
At the front of the team, Old Snake was communicating with two brothers from Wuji Sect, and the central topic was ripples.
"How many people died among those who shot the arrows?"
"Looking at the bloodstains, there should be at least ten people."
Zhang Feng thought for a while and said.
"If they hadn't run, more people would have died."
Zhang Nian added.
"Did you see what moves the woman in red used? Can you tell which sect she belongs to?"
The old snake continued to ask.
"She controlled the sword with her inner strength, blocked the arrows, and then used water drops as hidden weapons to kill the people who were ambushing in the forest. Her inner strength is greater than that of my two brothers."
"Using water to kill someone is the first time I've seen this! I can't tell where her master came from, but we can ask Wang Meimei from Bagua Sect. They seem to have a good relationship and should know the details of this woman."
Zhang Nian was careful and immediately provided the person to be questioned.
At this time, Xiao Shu and Wang Meimei, who were riding together, were also talking about Lianyi.
"You said he studied under Su Nu Gong?"
"Yes, Lianyi told me herself."
"Su Nu Palace has disappeared from the world for six years. I didn't expect that she was actually from Su Nu Palace."
"I also asked Lianyi about the Su Nu Palace's method of eternal youth. She did not hide anything and told me that the Su Nu Palace's internal skills are suitable for women to practice and can delay aging, but it cannot keep one young forever. The rumors in the martial arts world are exaggerated."
Wang Meimei said without hiding anything.
"You believe it?"
"Why can't you believe this? Everyone knows that if you practice a certain method to the extreme, it can indeed delay aging, but it really can't keep you young forever. If there really is such a method, the Su Nu Palace wouldn't be unknown in the martial arts world."
Wang Meimei is not stupid, nor is she the kind of person who follows the crowd. In addition, her interactions with Lianyi in the past few days have made her feel that she is straightforward, beautiful, and highly skilled in fighting. Most importantly, she has no thoughts about her brother Xiao.
Just for this reason, she felt that she could become friends with Lianyi, and Lianyi's reaction to the enemy just now was enough to make her admire him.
"Did she really just escort the lady in the carriage back to visit her relatives?"
"That's what she said."
"Then you should spend more time with her and see if you can find out anything else. After all, she joined halfway and we are not familiar with her."
Xiao Shu gave a reminder.
"Got it. Ripple people are easy to get along with."
Wang Meimei muttered softly.
Qi Qi, who was still stranded in Huairou County at this time, was the first to receive the news that Lian Yi and his group were leaving together with that group of martial arts people.
"Sir, do you want to send someone to follow?"
"No need, we'll go after them after we finish dealing with things here."
Qi Qi waved his hand.
The reason why he stayed here was to assist the Huairou County Magistrate in eliminating all the secret agents of Inner Mongolia in Huairou County. All those who had joined forces with Mongolia for the sake of profit were caught in one fell swoop.
Moreover, following the human trafficking route of the "Fengqi Wutong" mother and son, the secret guards also found a route that could bypass border defenses and enter the Mongolian and Han countries. This was a very important discovery, and he sent a pigeon letter back to the imperial city that day.
As the emperor listened to the report from the leader of the Secret Guard Group C, the smile on his face deepened a little and he said "good" three times in a row.
"You should personally lead a team to survey the entire route and find out whether it is suitable for cavalry to enter and whether it is possible to sneak into Mongolia quietly. If the two countries go to war, this may be a trump card for us."
