Chapter 300: Want to run away? Have you got your aunt’s consent?
Dai Peirong sat quietly, her eyes revealing her deep reluctance to part with Lan Xiyue, the goddaughter she had just adopted.
Lan Xiyue turned to Dongfang Ming and said, "Dongfang Ming, please wait a moment. I want to prepare some medicine for my godmother so that I can feel more at ease during your journey."
Dongfang Ming heard this and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. He nodded and said, "Okay, there are medicinal herbs in the room next door. I'll have to trouble Xiao Yue'er."
Lan Xiyue then stood up, walked into the room filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, and closed the door.
Inside the house, medicinal herbs are arranged in an orderly manner, each emitting its own unique fragrance.
Lan Xiyue walked to the side and sat down, closing her eyes and concentrating. After a moment, she opened her eyes and called softly, "System, open the mall."
System: "Ding Dong! The mall has been opened successfully."
Lan Xiyue's eyes wandered through the dazzling array of goods in the mall, finally settling on the "heart-saving pills." For someone as elderly and ailing as Dai Peirong, these pills were undoubtedly an excellent emergency aid.
"System, redeem the heart pills."
"Ding Dong, the redemption was successful. Ten thousand points were deducted, and the host still has 4.98 million points left." The system's voice sounded again, and Lan Xiyue had a bottle of heart-saving pills in her hand.
She tore open the package and put the wrapping paper into the space she carried with her. Then she opened the door and walked out.
Dongfang Ming was stunned upon seeing this. He had thought Lan Xiyue would need some time to prepare the medicine, but he hadn't expected it to be so quick. Could it be that the ingredients in the house were missing? But then he thought, the toxins in his mother's body had stabilized, and with his care along the way, she should be fine.
Lan Xiyue came to Dai Peirong's side, slowly took out the bottle of heart-saving pills from her sleeve, and handed it to her, "Godmother, these are heart-saving pills. If you feel unwell while you are on the road, take two."
Dai Peirong took the heart pills, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Xiao Yue'er is really thoughtful. When Ming'er has dealt with the Miaojiang matter, you can come to Miaojiang to play. The scenery of Miaojiang has a unique charm that will surely make you linger."
Lan Xiyue nodded slightly and replied "Okay".
Dongfang Ming ordered: "Punu, pack your luggage quickly. We will set off after lunch." Punu heard the words and acted immediately. He ordered the servants to pack their luggage and everything was ready.
After lunch, Dai Peirong held Lan Xiyue's hand tightly, her eyes full of reluctance and concern: "Xiao Yue'er..."
Lan Xiyue responded gently: "Godmother, take care of yourself and have a safe journey!"
Dai Peirong nodded with tears in her eyes, slowly let go of Lan Xiyue's hand, and got into the carriage, looking back every few steps.
Dongfang Ming looked at Lan Xiyue affectionately, then waved his hand, whipped his horse, and led the convoy away.
Lan Xiyue watched the carriage go away quietly until it disappeared from her sight, then she slowly withdrew her gaze.
At this moment, An Yi quietly appeared beside her and asked in a low voice: "Princess, should we return immediately?"
Lan Xiyue nodded slightly, walked to the side, and got on the carriage that had been prepared long ago.
After Lan Xiyue sat firmly, An Yi drove the carriage out quickly, passed through the bamboo forest, and headed towards the imperial city.
However, not long after, An Yi suddenly stopped the carriage and looked into the darkness with a vigilant look. Lan Xiyue noticed something was wrong, lifted the carriage curtain, and stepped out.
An Yi hurriedly warned: "Princess! Be careful, there is an ambush!"
Lan Xiyue's eyes instantly became cold and dangerous. She laughed coldly and said, "Want to kill me? Humph, let's see who will kill whom!" Before she finished speaking, she moved her mind, and several hidden weapons appeared in her hands, and she threw them fiercely into the darkness.
Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard from the darkness, and then dozens of men in black emerged from the darkness. They were wearing night clothes, black veils on their faces, and holding sharp blades. They surrounded Lan Xiyue and An Yi.
The leading man in black exuded a strong murderous aura. He growled, "Kill!"
Then, the men in black attacked Lan Xiyue and An Yi like a tide.
Lan Xiyue's figure was light and she moved among the crowd of people in black like a ghost.
She held a sharp dagger in one hand and kept throwing hidden weapons with the other. Wherever she went, men in black fell down.
An Yi was not to be outdone. He was a martial arts expert and fought side by side with Lan Xiyue. He held a long sword in his hand, and the sword light was like lightning. Every time he swung the sword, it was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air. He killed the approaching men in black one by one, and the two of them cooperated seamlessly.
The leading figure in black, with a slender figure and a pair of cold eyes, watched the men in black fall one by one. His astonishment and disbelief were evident in his words: "When did the daughter of the Marquis of Wu State acquire such formidable martial arts skills?"
Seeing this, the leading man in black looked even more ferocious. He drew out his sword, leaped up, and launched a sneak attack on Lan Xiyue's back.
Lan Xiyue keenly sensed the danger and retreated sharply. Her eyes were as cold as ice as she stared at the attacker, as if she were looking at a dead person. "You attacked me, great! You're dead."
Before he finished speaking, Lan Xiyue raised his left hand and a hidden weapon flew out of the air, pointing directly at the man in black.
The man in black stepped back suddenly and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.
Lan Xiyue's attack did not stop. She immediately launched another palm strike, with a whistling palm wind and incredible power.
Then, she took out a dagger and cut the arm of the man in black. The man in black had a gloomy look in his eyes. He didn't expect that he would be hurt by a woman, and he didn't expect that Lan Xiyue's palm would be so powerful.
At this moment, Lan Xiyue's eyes suddenly became sharp. She realized that another man in black was about to launch a sneak attack on An Yi.
She leaped again and instantly came behind An Yi, and cut the attacker's neck cleanly with a dagger.
An Yi turned around and looked, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Princess."
Lan Xiyue said in a deep voice, "Be careful." After that, she threw herself into the battle again, her hand raised and the knife slashed, each movement was clean and neat, directly ending the life of the man in black.
The leading man in black felt a chill in his heart as he watched his men fall one by one. He looked at Lan Xiyue with some fear in his eyes: "This is not a lady from the boudoir, she is clearly a killing god, as terrifying as the Regent." He knew that he could no longer complete the task, so he turned around and tried to escape.
Lan Xiyue dodged and instantly came to the other side of the man in black. She said coldly, "Want to run? Have you got my permission?"
The man in black said coldly, "I didn't expect that the daughter of Marquis Wu would have such skills? Does Marquis Wu know about this?"
Lan Xiyue sneered: "Tell me, who asked you to kill me?"
The man in black threw a smoke bomb and turned around and ran away.
When the smoke bomb cleared, there was no trace of the man in black. Lan Xiyue's face turned grim, "You want to run? It's not that easy." She turned to look at An Yi, "An Yi, get rid of the rest, leave no one alive." After she finished speaking, she chased after him.
