Chapter 225 Rushing
Chapter 225 Rushing
"Xiao Mu"'s words echoed in this somewhat messy mountain temple. Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao, especially Ye Xiaoxiao, who amazed everyone.
No one expected that she could be so accurate in archery at such a young age.
Liu Yunniang nodded slightly and said softly,
"You're being polite. We are all in the same predicament, so we should work together."
Mo Feng admired his wife even more. Now that those people had just left, he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well tonight. Thinking of this, he quickly ordered the accompanying guards to
"Strengthen the vigilance around here, take turns on duty, and don't slack off in the slightest. Everyone should be on high alert tonight to prevent the men in black from returning."
The guards responded in unison and quickly took action to set up a tight defense line around the mountain temple.
Liu Yunniang looked at the busy figures of the people and felt worried.
Ye Xiaoxiao stared at the wound on her mother's body, her heart full of pain and anger. She secretly vowed to make those men in black pay the price.
"Can you tell where these people come from?"
Ye Xiaoxiao's voice was clear but with a hint of solemnity.
Mo Feng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice,
"The identities of these men in black are still unclear, but judging by their actions and skills, they are definitely not ordinary bandits. They are well-trained and work in perfect harmony, and are clearly organized killers."
Liu Yunniang gently stroked Ye Xiaoxiao's head and said,
"Xiaoxiao, you were amazing today. Mother didn't expect you to be such a good archer."
Ye Xiaoxiao bit her lips tightly, her eyes revealing determination.
"Mother, I will definitely learn martial arts well in the future and will never let myself become a burden to you. These bad guys will be destroyed sooner or later."
Mo Feng stepped forward and said,
"Madam, Miss, these men in black appeared so suddenly, and their goal is clear. I'm afraid they are coming for the general. Those people suffered a loss today. I'm afraid that the road ahead will not be peaceful."
"Xiao Mu" nodded. Those people's moves were insidious and ruthless. Today's events must be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible.
He thought of this and spoke slowly.
"Madam, this matter is of great importance. I will report it to your majesty. Please see..."
Although he was acting in the name of General Xiao, it was clear that someone was deliberately trying to kill General Xiao.
This not only concerns the safety of the lady and the young lady, but also General Xiao who is far away in the northwest is not safe. He is the secret guard beside His Majesty, so he naturally dare not hide it.
Liu Yunniang nodded slightly, watching the man speaking to Xiao Mu's face, not knowing how to address him, so she continued,
"General, what you said is absolutely right. Your Majesty should be informed of this matter as soon as possible. However, we need to be more cautious along the way."
Ye Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and said,
"Those bad guys will definitely come back again, we can't just sit there and wait for them to die."
Mo Feng thought for a moment and said,
"General, Madam, we can send someone to deliver the letter to His Majesty as fast as possible while speeding up our journey to reach the northwest as soon as possible. Once we get to the northwest, we will be safer with the general's station there."
"Xiao Mu" nodded in approval.
"Just do as you say."
"Xiao Mu" turned around to make arrangements.
That night, a tense atmosphere filled the area around the mountain temple.
The guards stood vigilant at their posts, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao sat in a corner of the mountain temple, accompanied by Yuemei and Yuezhu.
Liu Yunniang had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She was worried that the journey ahead would be even more difficult, and she was also worried about the safety of General Xiao Mu who was far away in the northwest.
Ye Xiaoxiao clenched her fists tightly, her eyes full of determination. She secretly vowed in her heart that she must become stronger and protect her mother.
Time passed by minute by minute and the night deepened.
Hualala, hulaala......
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't tell whether it was the sound of wind and rain outside or the howling of wild beasts. She felt uneasy. Liu Yunniang gently held Ye Xiaoxiao's hand and comforted her.
"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid. Close your eyes and get some sleep. It will be dawn soon."
Ye Xiaoxiao really couldn't hold on any longer and closed her eyes obediently. But after a while, Liu Yunniang heard a small snoring sound.
"This kid is really generous."
Liu Yunniang gently stroked Ye Xiaoxiao's tender face and chuckled.
Seeing this, Yuemei and Yuezhu also thought that the young lady was really cute.
"Madam, you should take a rest as well. The servants are here to watch over us."
"Ah."
As time passed, dawn gradually arrived.
The sky was turning pale, and the rain that had been falling all night finally stopped.
Before setting off, Mo Feng once again reminded everyone to be vigilant and be ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.
Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao were also very alert. Yuemei and Yuezhu followed them closely, not daring to relax at all.
The carriage slowly drove out of the mountain temple and moved along the muddy road.
Along the way, everyone was silent and the atmosphere was tense and depressing.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked out the car window at the situation outside from time to time, her heart full of worry.
After the last experience, they didn’t dare to stay outdoors easily in the following days.
In order to rest at the next post station or go to the inn in town, Ye Xiaoxiao almost never stopped traveling during the day and didn't care about the discomfort.
Right now, saving her life was the most important thing! As long as she could get there as soon as possible, she wouldn't dare complain about the discomfort of riding in a carriage!
Liu Yunniang looked at Ye Xiaoxiao's well-behaved appearance and felt pity for her, but there was really no better way.
However, after traveling for several days, everyone was a little tired. Seeing this, Mo Feng did not dare to rush things. He discussed with "Xiao Mu" to find a place to rest as soon as possible so that everyone could recover some strength.
That day, they came to a prosperous town.
The town was bustling with people coming and going, and there were all kinds of shops. Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the lively scene and felt a little more relaxed.
They found a clean and comfortable inn to stay in, and Mo Feng took the guards to gather information and understand the surrounding situation.
Ye Xiaoxiao rested in the room for a while and began to think about her next itinerary.
She knew that although they had tried their best to avoid camping in the wild, they might still encounter danger on the road.
She decided to use this time to organize the things in her space and prepare for possible dangers.
Liu Yunniang watched her daughter busy at work, feeling very pleased.
She knew in her heart that Xiaoxiao was a lazy child who didn't like to practice martial arts, but because of the last assassination, she was probably still holding a grudge in her heart.
The child is afraid of getting himself into trouble, so now he has started to study hidden weapons, poisons, and so on.
