Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 409

Chapter 409 A Bizarre Event

Xiao Yuqi led the men all the way to open a gap in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and finally escaped. Although the officers and soldiers of the capital governor were searching for them, they were still easily escaped by Xiao Yuqi.

However, after Xiao Yuqi escaped with everyone, she hid herself.

However, as time passed, Xiao Yuqi felt her body becoming more and more weak, and her heart felt uncomfortable.

The man beside her frowned. Seeing this, he said loudly, “Master, why don’t you go find a doctor first?”

Xiao Yuqi originally wanted to shake her head. In this situation, she really shouldn’t have called a doctor. However, he was seriously injured. If her guess was correct, she would definitely be poisoned. If she didn’t get rid of the poison in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, her goal had not been accomplished, and Xiao Yuqi did not want to become a cripple.

Therefore, he nodded and said, “Keep it a little secret. Don’t let anyone discover it.” Fortunately, every family was keeping vigil on New Year’s Eve, so even if there was such a big commotion in Yun Clan, very few people knew about it. In addition, the sounds of fireworks exploding in the night sky caused each other to rise and fall, making it even more difficult to determine their location.

The black-clothed man nodded. “Yes, Master, wait here first. I’ll be back in a moment.”

Xiao Yuqi graciously said, leaving only two black-clothed men by her side, letting the others disperse first to deal with their injuries.

At this time, it was easy to hide with fewer people, but if there were more people, it would be easy to discover.

After these people left, Xiao Yuqi finally revealed a painful expression. It was too uncomfortable. The two black-clothed men stood in front to cover up. Xiao Yuqi lay on the side and vomited hard. Every time she vomited, black blood appeared. It looked shocking.

Xiao Yuqi’s expression became even more embarrassed. It seemed that the arrow was really poisonous! He had to take out the golden arrow from his body as soon as possible. Otherwise, it was unknown whether he would die or not.

At this moment, a few black-clothed men suddenly descended from the sky and surrounded Xiao Yuqi and the others.

Xiao Yuqi did not expect that at this time, there would actually be someone behind her. Her expression was also extremely embarrassed. Her expression changed back and forth, and her expression also carried a trace of unnaturalness. “Who are you people?”

The leader of the black-clothed men said loudly, “My master invited Miss Xiao to come over.” There was not a trace of respect in his voice.

Xiao Yuqi frowned. She didn’t expect these people to call out their names with just a single glance.

Looks like these people have been planning this for a long time, Now that she was heavily injured and poisoned, no one knew who the other party’s master was. If she fell into his hands, even if she did not die, she would still be threatened to agree to many conditions. Now, if her body did not receive prompt treatment, it would probably soon dissipate, or her internal strength would be completely useless, turning her into a cripple.

She absolutely couldn’t tolerate herself becoming a cripple. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yuqi made a decision and said loudly, “You two stop them!”

Her words were sufficient to show that she would not obediently follow the person who came.

The two people beside Xiao Yuqi immediately stood in front of Xiao Yuqi, holding sharp swords as they faced the five people.

Although the five of them were obviously stronger than the two of them, the two of them weren’t easy to deal with. They were extremely difficult to give birth. Although they surrounded the two of them, they couldn’t escape to deal with Xiao Yuqi for a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuqi immediately covered her wounds and turned around to flee into the alley. Instead of waiting here, she might as well leave early and find another way out.

However, Xiao Yuqi did not go far before she felt that her body was running out of energy. However, she did not stop. At this moment, she was handing her life over to someone else and letting them control her own life and death.

Xiao Yuqi gritted her teeth again and continued to run. However, just a few steps later, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

He raised his head in horror and saw a black-clothed masked man standing in front of her. He immediately had a bad thought in his heart, “Who exactly are you?”

“You don’t need to know who I am. Please come with me, Miss Xiao!” The black-clothed man’s voice was extremely stiff, carrying an icy cold aura.

Xiao Yuqi frowned. She had already tightened her grip on the golden cicada silk in her hand. If anyone moved, the golden cicada silk in her hand would attack. She secretly regretted that she had sent her people back before. Otherwise, she would not have encountered such a troublesome situation.

It was too late to say anything now, and he could only rely on himself. “What if I didn’t go?”

“It’s not up to you!” The black-clothed man only said this and immediately attacked. Before Xiao Yuqi could react, he immediately pointed at Xiao Yuqi’s acupoints. The speed at which he attacked was astonishing.

Xiao Yuqi was secretly furious. If her body was intact, she would definitely be able to avoid it. She would not even light up this man’s eyes. Unfortunately, she was poisoned and her reaction was much slower than usual. Only then would the black-clothed man succeed!

…

On the other side, Rong Jin immediately waved his hand and ordered his men to retreat. In just an instant, all the tools that Rong Jin’s men had brought along, as well as some other bows and arrows, disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

The governor ordered the officials to capture Xiao Yuqi, while he brought some other people over. Who knew that there were many people on the fence from afar? But now, it was good. As soon as he approached, he disappeared.

If he hadn’t witnessed the previous fight with his own eyes, the governor would have felt that what he had just witnessed was an illusion.

The governor of the capital had an embarrassed expression. He didn’t even see the faces of those people and let them escape. He simply ignored him. Even if he gave the order, “Someone, surround the entire courtyard. Also, how many people are left alive in your group to check on the Yun Clan? What exactly happened to the Yun Clan today?” And where did all the masters of the Yun Clan go? “Focus on finding the whereabouts of county princess An Ping!”

Since Yun Xiao was able to make the Jin Emperor conferred the title of county princess, she would definitely be extremely favored.

If something happened within his jurisdiction, the Jin Emperor would probably blame himself for it. In addition, the Yun Clan was almost annihilated on New Year’s Eve, so everyone was targeting the Yun Clan.

With the governor’s words, the others naturally didn’t dare to neglect him. They automatically split up into small teams and began to investigate in the Yun Clan.

Another officer and soldier approached the governor and said respectfully, “Your Excellency, how are you going to explain this situation to the Emperor in the Yun Clan?”

As long as county princess An Ping is still alive, even if something happens to the others, it won’t be a big deal. “I can only tell you the truth and find the whereabouts of the county princess first.”

“Yes, this lowly position will definitely intensify its search for the county princess’ whereabouts.” The officials and servants all felt that this was a difficult task. Who would have thought that something like this would happen to Yun Xiao on New Year’s Eve? “However, are you going to report the news of the Emperor’s Yun Clan tonight?”

“Wait a moment. We’ll report to Emperor after we make sure the county princess is safe. It’s New Year’s Eve, and there’s still two hours left. It’s a bad time to report back.” The governor thought for a long time before finally saying this.

However, very quickly, all the officials sent out returned, only bringing back Old Madam Yun, Yuan shi, and Sun shi. No one else found them, and they didn’t know where they went.

The governor didn’t know either, so he could only say, “Continue searching. Also, follow me to the next room.” Those archers shot in from the fence just now and disappeared so quickly. They must have something to do with the house next door. Perhaps, the Yun Family is also in the house next door.

Thinking of this, the governor immediately made up his mind.

The governor of the capital brought a group of officials to knock on the door of the house next door. However, after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door. He was even more surprised, “Bang the door!”

With the governor’s words, the official naturally carried out the task. Even if he took the thick wooden stake and knocked the door open, the door was quickly opened. Only then did he realize that the two porters who were guarding the door had fainted on both sides.

His expression was even more shocked. He didn’t know what was going on. “Go in and search!”

The officers and men looked at the fainted people and knew that the house was probably not peaceful. They immediately split up into groups and walked forward. However, the results of the search were that everyone in the house was stunned. No one knew what had happened.

The case became even more blurry, and the capital governor’s expression became even uglier. Originally, it was New Year’s Eve, and he was supposed to be vigil at home. Who knew that major events would happen again and again in the capital? This year would be a good one.

“Continue searching, see if there are any suspicious people in this house?” The governor ordered the officers and soldiers to search, while he brought his men to the wall next to the Yun Clan.

Those archers had shot arrows here before, and they would definitely leave behind traces of them. However, when the governor of the capital brought the officers and men there, he discovered that the bottom of the wall was clean and there were no footprints at all.

Seeing such a clean and unmessed place, the capital governor’s face was already so dark that he couldn’t look at it anymore.

The officials who followed also felt strange. Everyone looked at each other. They clearly remembered that those people had indeed appeared on this wall back then, but now, there was not a single person, not even a single footprint. Could it be that the people they saw were all ghosts?

Thinking of this, an official was even more timid and asked, “Could it be that those people are ghosts?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” The Yun Clan had quite a few arrows that shot over. Just by looking at those arrows, it could only be said that they were real. It could also be said that the people who appeared were not ghosts. Unfortunately, there were no traces of them here. It was indeed strange.

The governor took a few steps along the wall and suddenly felt that there was something hard beneath his feet. He moved his foot away and saw a token beneath his feet.

The token emitted a faint black light in the night. He reached out and picked it up. His tentacles were ice-cold. However, the governor did not pay attention to these problems. Instead, he looked at the pattern on the token in his hand. “It’s the Ten Directions Palace!”

If it was done by the people of the Ten Directions Palace, then this matter would be easy to explain.

The people of the Ten Directions Palace had always been clean and did not leave any clues behind.

However, to everyone’s surprise, why would the people of the Ten Directions Palace help the people of the Yun Clan?

However, no one knows this question …
