RPAGF Chapter 223 Assassination
Chapter 223 Assassination
After resting in the teahouse for a while, Ye Xiaoxiao's complexion gradually returned to normal.
She just had a poor appetite and hardly ate anything, but she felt much better. She leaned back in her chair, looking at the scenery outside the window, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.
In the past, she never thought how happy modern life was, but compared to ancient times, transportation is really convenient!
Thinking that they still had to walk for nearly twenty days, Ye Xiaoxiao felt dizzy again.
After a while, Mo Feng had food and tea brought.
Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao ate a little and prepared to continue their journey.
Ye Xiaoxiao stood up. Although she was still a little weak, her eyes were full of determination.
"Mom, let's go. I'm fine now."
It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Since there is no way to change it, just bear with it!
Liu Yunniang looked at her daughter's appearance, feeling both relieved and distressed.
The group set out on their journey again, and the carriage moved slowly forward.
This time, Mo Feng specifically instructed the coachman to be more careful and try to make the carriage as stable as possible.
For ten days in a row, Ye Xiaoxiao and her companions were on the road with almost no rest. Sometimes they couldn't make it to the post station and had to stay overnight in the wild. Fortunately, the journey was relatively safe.
As the days passed, Ye Xiaoxiao gradually adapted to the pace of this long-distance travel life.
Although the carriage was still bumpy every day, she no longer felt dizzy as she did at the beginning. Instead, she learned to find some peace and quiet in the shaking carriage.
From time to time, she would look out the car window at the ever-changing scenery outside, and her expectations for the Northwest became stronger and stronger.
Sometimes when she really couldn't sit still, she would ask Mo Feng to ride her for a while on horseback, which helped to relieve a lot of boredom.
However, Ye Xiaoxiao didn't like riding horses. The reason was that on her first day, she was so curious that she rode for the whole afternoon. When she went to bed at night, she found that the inside of her thighs were burning with pain.
It took two days of rest before he recovered.
On this day, the sky gradually became gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if a storm was about to come.
Mo Feng looked at the sky with worry in his heart, and seeing that the post station was still far away, he quickly ordered the team to speed up, hoping to find a suitable place to take shelter before the heavy rain came.
However, things did not go as planned. The rain came very quickly, and before they could find a place to rest, heavy rain began to fall.
Everyone had to quickly find a place to shelter from the rain.
The roads were slippery due to the rain and the carriage had a hard time moving through the mud. Ye Xiaoxiao felt like she was feeling carsick again from a few days ago.
Fortunately, they found a dilapidated temple not far away.
Mo Feng immediately ordered the guards to drive the carriage forward. When they arrived in front of the temple, they found that it was a temple of the mountain god.
Although the mountain temple is dilapidated, it can at least shelter them from wind and rain.
When the carriage stopped, Yuemei and Yuezhu got off first, then helped Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao into the temple.
Mo Feng had already found a cleaner corner in advance and quickly lit the torch.
Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao sat down on the mats that Yuemei had prepared in advance, while Yuemei and Yuezhu were busy sorting out the clothes and items that were wet by the rain.
The weather was getting colder and Ye Xiaoxiao felt a little cold after just being caught in the rain.
The guards of the general's mansion were on guard outside the temple to ensure their safety.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the rain outside and felt a little uneasy. She didn't know how long the rain would last, and their trip would be delayed again.
"Xiao Mu" sat in front of a fire not far away, looking around vigilantly.
Just when everyone thought they could safely hide from the rain, suddenly, a subtle sound came from outside the temple.
Mo Feng immediately became alert, however, before they could react, a group of men in black appeared outside the temple like ghosts, holding sharp blades, and rushed towards them.
The guards reacted quickly and engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.
Seeing this, Liu Yunniang immediately protected Ye Xiaoxiao behind her.
Yuemei, Jin'er and Yuezhu were frightened but still wanted to stand beside Liu Yunniang, but she pulled them behind them.
Several people quietly hid in the corner of the mountain temple, ready to act according to the circumstances.
While commanding the guards to fight, Mo Feng quietly moved to Liu Yunniang and the others.
He knew that these men in black had come with ill intentions. They had just arrived here and encountered these people. They were probably well prepared. Moreover, these people were extremely ruthless and had no intention of leaving anyone alive.
Liu Yunniang looked at the chaotic scene in front of her. Although she felt fear in her heart, she was more determined.
She knew that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death, she had to find a way to fight back. She protected Ye Xiaoxiao tightly and whispered,
"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid. Take out those things and give them to mother."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, understanding what he meant, and fighting spirit burned in her eyes. No one noticed when Ye Xiaoxiao had several more crossbows and sleeve arrows in her hands.
She thought these things would not be used on the road, so she put them all into her space. She didn't expect that there would be another chance to use them.
Ye Xiaoxiao quietly handed the things in her hand to Yuemei, Yuezhu and others.
Liu Yunniang looked around and saw that almost all the attention of those men in black was focused on "Xiao Mu", so she knew that the purpose of these people was probably to kill Xiao Mu.
While no one was paying attention to them, Liu Yunniang whispered,
"Yuemei, Yuezhu, hold on to the things in your hands and protect the young lady and yourselves."
They nodded nervously, getting ready.
The guards of the general's mansion are highly skilled in martial arts and well-trained, but they are only good at marching and fighting, and their attacks are too conservative. These men in black are obviously killers.
They were agile, ruthless, and coordinated well, gradually putting the guards in trouble.
There are endless black-clothed men on "Xiao Mu's" side, and no one knows how many of them there are. If they continue like this, even if the other party cannot kill "Xiao Mu", I'm afraid they will suffer heavy losses.
Liu Yunniang stared closely at the men in black, looking for an opportunity to take action.
Ye Xiaoxiao also nervously held the weapon in her hand, waiting for her mother to give orders.
At this time, "Xiao Mu" was fighting fiercely with several men in black. His swordsmanship was sharp and his body was agile, but the men in black were so numerous that it was difficult for him to completely get rid of their entanglement.
Liu Yunniang knew that she could not wait any longer and had to take action as soon as possible.
She whispered to Yuemei and Yuezhu,
"I will lead those people away in a moment. You guys watch for the right moment. Once I perform Qinggong, you guys shoot arrows immediately. Be careful to protect yourself and the young lady."
Yuemei and Yuezhu nodded firmly, holding the crossbows and hidden arrows tightly in their hands.
Liu Yunniang took a deep breath, then tapped her toes and flew to Mo Feng opposite.
