Chapter 126 Miaogu Appears, a Talkative Person
Yin'er was hidden in the mountains and was not seen by outsiders. There was not a single young girl in Caixia Town... Where did all the young girls in the town go?
Shang Yuwan pondered secretly. Could it be related to the manpower that the Empress gave to the Princess?
Cui Xing raised her eyes slightly to look at the sky, and without turning her head, asked: "Can you still hold on?"
After going around a few times, it was dark soon. Along the way, some of Shang Yuwan's wounds were inevitably broken due to the bumps.
The wound kept bursting open, and it was already good enough that she didn't get hot-headed and the wound didn't become inflamed and pus didn't come out, but the scars left behind in the future would be deeper than ordinary scars.
Shang Yuwan shook her head and said, "It's okay."
The wound and ribs ached slightly, and even stung from time to time, but she was used to it and could still bear it.
Cui Xing sighed softly, what a stubborn girl she was.
She calculated the distance and thought they were getting closer to Caixia Town, so she ordered, "You two go first and see if there are any people from that side. On the way, get a carriage to the official road ten miles ahead. Be careful."
Because they couldn't find anyone before, they didn't think of pulling a carriage and waiting early.
"Yes." After receiving the order, the two Langjiang killers disappeared in just a few breaths.
After Cui Xing gave the order, she gently put Shang Yuwan down, took the medicine box from another person, opened it and let Shang Yuwan find the medicine.
"You should know which one to eat, right? See for yourself."
Cui Xing called Xiao Qingxu over and said, "I heard that the host is not feeling well. Come and see which bottle of medicine it is."
Now it's time for dinner. Even though I haven't eaten anything, it's time to take my medicine.
Xiao Qingxu went forward and didn't take any pills. He just took out half of the Nine Revolutions Pill and hid it in his sleeve.
Shang Yuwan took the medicine that Ji Suxian gave her to treat her eyes and drank a sip of the water in the kettle.
Seeing that the two had nothing else to do, Cui Xing carried the person on her back again and started on her way.
"...Where are we going now?"
Shang Yuwan was on Cui Xing's back and noticed that they were going in circles.
Cui Xing said, "Cai Xiazhen, let you rest for a while. You can't go directly there, there are people watching that place."
She had been working under Zhao Qinglian before, and had not seen the Langjiang sisters who were sent to Yanmen for many years. She also had no idea what those sisters were doing secretly when they were secretly sent to other places.
We used to have some good relationships, but now... it's better to be careful.
It was already the hour of Xu, and the sky was gradually darkening. The night wind brushed against Cui Xing's eyebrows, lifting a few strands of her black hair.
Cui Xing's eyes were blurred by the hair and she frowned. Shang Yuwan reached out to help her tuck the hair behind her ears.
"Thank you very much."
Shang Yuwan said calmly, "Miss Cui, you're too polite."
Cui Xing turned her head slightly and glanced at Shang Yuwan. "No one has called me Miss for many years."
It's really fresh.
Shang Yuwan felt a slight cramp in her abdomen, but she suppressed it and smiled faintly at Cui Xing.
"If Miss Cui likes, I'll call you that."
Cui Xing chuckled and said nothing.
Xiao Qingxu had been staring at this side, and suddenly asked: "Are the two of them really okay?"
These people are saving them.
Xiao Qingxu realized this the moment he got the soft armor, but now is not the time to ask why.
Looking at Shang Yuwan's expression and movements, Cui Xing, who was carrying her on her back, seemed to say something.
Although Xiao Qingxu had doubts in his heart, he couldn't show it.
"Don't worry, Boss. They are no worse than the men in Baijialou." Cui Xing glanced at him indifferently.
Xiao Qingxu fell silent.
The female killer in Langjiang seemed to be quite disgusted with men, so it would be better for him not to get close to her.
A moment later, Cui Xing led his men to a dense forest not far from the official road.
After a while, a carriage slowly drove over.
Cui Xing saw the faces of the two women driving the carriage clearly and was about to leave when Shang Yuwan pressed her shoulder.
Xiao Qingxu also whispered: "Wait."
Shang Yuwan blinked twice and squinted: "...There is someone in the car."
Cui Xing heard this and looked carefully.
The car curtain was slightly blown up by the night wind, revealing half of the man's face.
Cui Xing's heart sank, and she whispered, "Don't move."
That person's ears are pointed.
Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu obeyed obediently, squatting in the weeds without moving.
The two Langjiang killers sitting in the car waited on the official road with the people in the car for a long time, but no one showed up.
"Where is the person you are talking about?"
A crisp voice came from the car. The two people outside were so scared that their faces turned pale. They rolled out of the car and knelt down with their heads bowed.
"Cui, Cui Niang clearly meant this place. They, they may have to wait a little longer."
"......" There was silence in the car for a while, and then someone spoke again, "You said there was a girl in that place, right?"
"Yes, there is one!"
"Go and catch it for me."
The two people outside the car looked at each other, "I'm afraid..."
If the child were handed over to this person, what if...
"If you can't catch me, you'll die."
The man grabbed their handle, and the two of them kowtowed repeatedly, "I'll go right away!"
Seeing them crawling towards Yin'er's family, Shang Yuwan was about to move but was held down by Cui Xing.
Cui Xing shook her head at her.
Seeing this, Shang Yuwan calmed down.
An hour later, neither side moved.
"...Someone come."
The people in the car were the first to lose their patience and called out the people who were lying in ambush.
This call only called out a woman, with a long sword at her waist. She bowed towards the carriage and said, "Miao Gu."
The person inside the car lifted the curtain, and a pair of willow-shaped eyes cast a sharp gaze outside, then said, "Let's go."
"It's late now, and the wind is about to pick up."
After the people left, Cui Xing still held them down for a long time before letting them move.
Shang Yuwan gently shook her stiff and numb legs, "Who is she?"
Cui Xing exhaled and said, "Miao Gu. She ranks seventh in the 'stem' element of the 'Ten Heavenly Stems and Twelve Earthly Branches'. She is a killer that should not be underestimated."
"Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches?" Shang Yuwan's legs were still a little numb. Before she could bend down, Xiao Qingxu squatted down and tapped them gently for her.
Seeing this, Shang Yuwan did not refuse, and looked up and asked: "Is it more powerful than Miss Cui?"
Cui Xing lowered her eyes to observe Xiao Qingxu's movements. "Hmm. The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, from left to right, from strong to weak, each row has one hundred people."
She ranks 20th in the "dry" industry, far behind Miao Gu.
Shang Yuwan blinked and chuckled, "Miss Cui, if you have something to say, just say it."
"What do you mean?" Cui Xing asked her after hearing that.
"Would an assassin under General Zhao be so talkative and revealing? Cai Xiazhen is suspicious of the missing little girl, and he even revealed the difference between the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches."
Xiao Qingxu stood up and stood in front of Shang Yuwan, but was gently pushed away by her.
She smiled and looked directly at Cui Xing.
"Since you have something to ask of you, why are you beating around the bush with us?"
Cui Xing said that she came here on Zhao Qinglian's orders to rescue people, but her words and expression pointed to Caixia Town from the very beginning.
"...Heh. No wonder you caught His Majesty's eye."
Cui Xing chuckled, and Shang Yuwan smiled back, but doubts arose in his heart.
She had never even seen the face of the Empress Langjiang, so how could she have caught her eye? Could it be because of her identity?
But why didn't the empress kill her?
Shang Yuwan thought about it over and over again, but couldn't come to a conclusion.
