Chapter 448 The News Spreads
"It turns out that he was not missing, but disguised himself as Madam Zhen's coachman. That's how he avoided being hunted down all the way. It was only when he was recognized by Hai Zanghong that they were attacked."
The people around Qi Qi were all intelligence collectors, so they reacted quickly and sorted things out immediately.
"There should be an expert who helped him escape from the pursuit. I suspect it was the Ripple Guard. I just wonder what their purpose is."
Qi Qi tapped the table with his fingers and muttered to himself.
"We are still checking the background of these two people, but we haven't found anything. It seems that they appeared out of thin air."
The subordinate whispered.
"She is with that group of people from the underworld. Maybe they know the details of Madam Zhen and Lianyi. You should continue to find out."
"yes."
"Is the operation going smoothly over there, Chief? Do you need our support?"
"There was news that they have almost cleared the route and sent some spies into Mongolia to gather information. They don't need our support for now. The leader told you to complete your task and find the treasure as soon as possible."
"Okay, I got it! We'll set out early tomorrow morning and catch up with them as soon as possible."
"yes!"
In recent times, the world has been very lively. The treasure map has appeared and has been found. Many people heard the news and began to search for who had the treasure map. Then She Lao, Xiao Shu, Wang Meimei, Xiong Zigeng and others came into everyone's sight.
For a time, these people became well-known in the underworld and were hunted down by various forces.
Lianyi had already left Wujiang County at this time. She originally wanted to watch the fun and wait for Wang Meimei to reunite with her. However, the news that the treasure map was found and fell into the hands of those people was spread by someone. She was afraid of trouble and left early.
"Who is so immoral as to reveal the secret of the treasure map?"
Ripple said with an unhappy look on her face.
"If it's not you, then it must be someone else! Those people who have the treasure map in their hands must want to monopolize it. Maybe they contacted their own sects or families, and then spread the word from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and everyone will know about it."
Wang Zhenzhen was not surprised. The so-called secret is only a secret when only one person knows it. Once it is known by the second person, it is no longer a secret. There are about forty people in the underworld, and each of them has his own thoughts. It is only a matter of time before the news gets out.
"I hope they won't suspect me."
Ripple said as he cracked the whip.
The next place Lianyi and his party were heading to was Huangsha City. It got its name because of the year-round winds that brought yellow sand. The indigenous people here were all very tough, and generally few people were willing to live in Huangsha City. However, this was the shortest route to Longxi, so Lianyi chose this route.
Wang Yaozu has become familiar with his new identity and would stay in the carriage when he had nothing to do. Now he is a maid and does not need to drive the carriage anymore, but his hard days have also come.
Wang Zhenzhen began to test Wang Yaozu's homework, dragging him to start from the first chapter of "The Great Learning" to review the old and learn new things, which made him a little upset. Are all martial artists so hardworking now? His knowledge is not worse than his teacher!
How could he know that, as the eldest daughter of the Wang family, she was trained as the heir before the accident. Only after the birth of Wang Yaohui did she feel a little relieved. However, some habits, once formed, are difficult to change. Besides, Wang Zhenzhen liked reading, so she never gave up her pursuit of knowledge.
Ever since her face was injured, she was secretly sent to Su Nu Palace by her mother for treatment. She wanted to become stronger so that she could protect herself and her sister and no longer be controlled by others, so she stayed in Su Nu Palace. Teaching the new disciples of Su Nu Palace to read and write was also the task she gave herself, so she was valued by the Lord of Su Palace.
Their journey was smooth and they did not encounter any robberies. Ten days later they arrived at the gate of Huangsha City. At this time, everyone rushed into the city as if there were wolves chasing them.
Lianyi looked back and found that a sky full of yellow sand was rolling over from two miles away from the city gate. The speed was very fast and it was estimated that it would swallow them up in less than a quarter of an hour.
Lianyi now understood why these people were in such a hurry. She patted Bailong's butt and said loudly:
"Haku, run faster, or we'll be swallowed!"
The white dragon neighed, spread its hooves and ran away, instantly leaving behind those who were running on two legs.
When Lianyi and the other two ran into an inn, the sandstorm also entered Huangsha City. For a moment, the whole city was filled with yellow sand. People on the road were blown backwards and could only lie on the ground, hoping not to be blown away.
Lianyi and the other two shook off the sand on their bodies and said to the proprietress:
"Are there any rooms? We want two."
"Only the upper room is left. Do all the young ladies choose the upper room?"
"Two."
Lianyi didn't waste any words and directly threw a five-liang silver ingot.
The proprietress immediately took the silver with a smile on her face and called her son to take the guest to the upper room.
The proprietress's son was only ten years old, chubby and strong, wearing coarse cloth clothes. He jumped out immediately and took the three of them upstairs.
When Lianyi was going up the stairs, she happened to meet a group of people who were coming down. There were three of them, with sturdy and strong build, three-dimensional faces and deep eyes. It was obvious that they were not Han people, and the robes they wore were very awkward.
The man walking in the middle suddenly stopped, raised his hand to touch Lianyi's face, and said jokingly:
"Such a beautiful woman actually exists in this remote place. It seems that the three of us will not be lonely on the rest of the journey."
Unfortunately, before his hand could touch Lianyi's face, one of his arms was cut off.
"Ah!" The pig-slaughtering scream alarmed everyone in the inn. When the proprietress saw this situation, she cursed and took out a broad-backed machete from under the counter, ready to kill the group of people who were causing trouble in her store.
Lianyi was even faster. While cutting off the opponent's arm, she kicked him down, then bent down to avoid the blades of the other two. Looking at the Mongolian knives in the opponents' hands, she had already guessed the identities of these three people.
"You are quite courageous. Now that you are here, don't leave!"
Lianyi kicked a man in the stomach, and the man broke through the stair railing and fell to the first floor, crushing a wooden table and unable to get up for a long time.
Another man's knife stabbed at Lianyi from behind. She dodged by turning sideways and directly breaking the opponent's knife.
The sound of the knife breaking was very crisp, somewhat similar to the sound of bones breaking.
With a "bang", the man who attacked from behind had his ribs broken by Lianyi's punch and fell to the first floor.
Lianyi then leaped down, turned her wrist and made a sword flower, which cut the necks of two people, leaving only the person who had teased her in the first place.
"Tell me the purpose of your visit to Hanzhong."
Lianyi's sword was pressed against the opponent's neck, causing the man, whose face turned pale with pain, to tremble unconsciously.
"Don't want to say?"
Lian Yi's sword gently scratched the opponent's neck.
"I say! It's for the treasure of your Han country!"
See you tomorrow~
