Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 577

Chapter 577 Be Bound To Get
Yun Xiao had seen this hidden guard before in the Third Prince’s Mansion. As a result, the identities of this group of people were naturally clear.

However, Yun Xiao still did not understand whether these people had been subdued by Xiao Yuqi, whether they came on behalf of Xiao Yuqi or came alone to search for Zhou Jingyan’s whereabouts.

Just when Yun Xiao was surprised, she heard the person in front of her sternly instruct, “Go and search again. Your Highness the Third Prince must not be dead. We must find the whereabouts of Your Highness the Third Prince. Otherwise, the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty will really fall into the hands of that poisonous woman.”

Zhou Jingyan was nowhere to be found. Xiao Yuqi relied on herself to conceive Zhou Jingyan’s descendants and wantonly recruited the ministers’ hearts in the Imperial Court. Now, she was even listening to the court curtains. As long as the ministers proposed to drive Xiao Yuqi back to the harem, the ministers would be strangers that night.

Nowadays, the entire Eastern Jin court dared to be angry and not dare to speak.

However, they had been reported to the Third Prince’s Housekeeper Li after being united by some ministers of the Imperial Court. Housekeeper Li pleaded with them before they came.

Of course, Xiao Yuqi also had people firmly guard the Third Prince’s mansion. Therefore, Xiao Yuqi received the news as quickly as she could about them coming out to look for Zhou Jingyan. After that, she brought people to stop them. From the capital until now, more than half of them had been killed or injured.

Who knew that after they arrived at the border, they knew that Xiao Yuqi’s words of sending people to search for the whereabouts of the Third Prince was just a flattery. The general guarding the border did not send anyone out to search for Zhou Jingyan’s whereabouts!

When the defending general heard that they had come, he made a move on them because of their reputation for hosting a banquet. Fortunately, they reacted very quickly, so there were no casualties.

It could be said that the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty had been controlled by Xiao Yuqi in these twenty short days.

This made them feel terrified.

Who would have thought that a woman would have such ability?

“Yes,” the other hidden guards quickly agreed and kept searching for Zhou Jingyan’s whereabouts nearby.

After Yun Xiao and Rong Jin heard the Dark Guard’s conversation, they could also feel that the current situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty could be said to be very bad. However, they hadn’t returned yet, so they weren’t very clear about the situation in the outside world.

However, when she thought of Xiao Yuqi, Yun Xiao frowned. She had suffered hidden losses at Xiao Yuqi’s hands more than once, and even their Yun Clan almost died at the hands of this woman.

Yun Xiao was very willing to do anything that could obstruct Xiao Yuqi.

She looked at Rong Jin and wanted Rong Jin’s advice. She wanted to tell the hidden guards about Zhou Jingyan’s whereabouts, so that they wouldn’t waste time searching for him. Zhou Jingyan would also take a long time to return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Rong Jin was naturally able to clearly see the meaning in Yun Xiao’s eyes. He reached out and rubbed Yun Xiao’s green silk. He said softly, “I’ll handle this matter. Just wait here.”

Yun Xiao graciously said. She was relieved that the matter was left to Rong Jin.

In the dark night, Rong Jin’s figure flew out like a ghost. Then, he flashed in front of the black-clothed men and disappeared into the night sky.

However, even though it was only for this moment, the black-clothed men could still see Rong Jin’s figure and immediately chased after him.

When Yun Xiao saw the black-clothed men chasing after Rong Jin, she frowned slightly. She did not know how Rong Jin was now.

Yun Xiao took a step forward, However, before she could say anything, she suddenly felt a sharp light flash behind her. Her awareness of danger caused Yun Xiao to quickly react. Her body rolled on the ground and quickly moved. Who knew that the sword behind her was also chasing very quickly. Before Yun Xiao could get up, the sword chased after her again and pointed straight at her face.

Fortunately, after Yun Xiao flipped around a few times, she suddenly raised her head. The person holding the sword looked at Yun Xiao in shock and said loudly, “Fourth sister?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Yun Xiao’s expression changed in an instant. She raised her head and saw Yun Lan standing in front of her with a sword in hand.

Yun Xiao, who had just left the Gate of Death, did not have time to rejoice at this moment and was shocked by what was happening in front of her, “Second Brother?”

Hearing Yun Xiao’s voice, Yun Lan no longer had any doubts. He immediately put away his sword and stepped forward to help Yun Xiao up. With an apologetic expression, he said, “Fourth sister, it was my fault just now. I didn’t see that it was you, so I took action.” Fortunately, when he saw Yun Xiao’s face, his reaction was faster. Otherwise, this sword would have stabbed into Yun Xiao’s face.

Yun Xiao couldn’t help but be glad at this moment. Fortunately, Yun Lan was able to withdraw his sword freely. Otherwise, he would definitely be injured this time. He supported Yun Lan’s hand and stood up. Looking around, he asked softly, “What just happened?”

“There were quite a few people who pretended to be you and your master under this cliff and stabbed many of us. So, I thought you were also pretending just now. Fourth sister wouldn’t blame me, right?” Yun Lan looked at Yun Xiao with some apprehension. Every time he stood with Yun Xiao, he always felt that Yun Xiao was the elder sister and he was the younger brother.

Towards Yun Xiao, Yun Lan felt a sense of reverence from the bottom of his heart.

When Yun Xiao was explained by Yun Lan, she felt even less arrogant in her heart. She whispered, “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, nothing happened to me. Have you been searching here for a long time?”

“That’s right. Rong Xun has been sending people to search for people all the time. We look for people under this cliff every day, but we can’t find them every time. Where have you been? Where is Master now?” Yun Lan looked up and down at Yun Xiao for a few times. Seeing that Yun Xiao Zhou was not injured, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Yun Xiao looked at the dark night sky and whispered, “Rong Jin went to show the way for some enemies. He will be back soon. The specifics are hard to describe. Let’s talk slowly.”

Yun Lan graciously said. Hearing Yun Xiao say that Rong Jin was going to guide the enemy, a sharp arc immediately flashed in his eyes. “Is there anything wrong with Master? I’ll send someone to meet him.”

Yun Xiao was also a little worried about Rong Jin, so she did not stop Yun Lan. Yun Lan whistled and saw two more people in black in front of them. Yun Lan made a few gestures at the two of them, and the two of them respectfully nodded in Yun Lan’s direction. Soon after, they disappeared into the night sky.

Looking at this qinggong, one could tell that their martial arts were not inferior to each other. Thinking that the two of them actually obeyed Yun Lan’s orders, Yun Xiao felt a little more gratified. She said softly, “Second brother, it seems that you have suffered a lot in the past two years.”

She had heard Rong Jin mention the conditions for advancement in the Ten Directions Palace. Since Yun Lan could advance so quickly, she must have suffered a lot.

Yun Lan smiled indifferently. He rubbed his head embarrassedly. He was like a newbie. No one could tell that Yun Lan was actually a killer. “This is all thanks to the Golden Cicada Silk clothes that Fourth Sister gave me back then.” With that clothes, Yun Lan had escaped death more than once, so Yun Lan had always remembered this matter.

Yun Xiao smiled indifferently and said softly, “Second Brother still needs to be able to do it himself.” She forgot about the sky and said, “We’ll talk while we walk.”

“Alright,” Yun Lan replied, standing beside Yun Xiao and protecting her, “Where have you and Master been these days?”

Yun Xiao thought for a moment before she said, “There is a very small temple in this mountain. Rong Jin and I were saved by a master. However, Rong Jin’s body was seriously injured when he fell down. He only woke up yesterday, so we came back a little late.”

“Injured? Then how is Master now? Is Fourth Sister injured anywhere?” When Yun Lan heard this, his expression became somewhat anxious.

Yun Xiao saw that Yun Lan was so anxious, He felt a little warmth in his heart. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just got a few wounds on my foot. I’ve almost recovered. Rong Jin’s injuries are very serious, but he’s almost healed now.” However, Yun Xiao was still worried. There were countless wounds on Rong Jin’s body, large and small. This time, his injuries caused an old illness, which was why he had only woken up for so long.

“That’s good,” Yun Lan was very glad of this.

Yun Xiao’en said, “How are things with Xi Yue and Dong Jin now? Are their parents safe in Xi Yue? Have they settled down yet?”

“Don’t worry, Father, mother, and second uncle’s family, “We’ve already settled down. However, Daddy can’t wait any longer. Now he’s starting a business again. Moreover, the business is going well. As for Second Uncle, the Emperor has already arranged a position for him. Fourth Sister, don’t worry. However, because of the blockade, I’m afraid that Daddy and Mother will be worried. So I didn’t tell them.”

Yun Xiao very much agreed with Yun Lan’s method. “You did very well.” Madam Lu’s body was not good at all. Now that she had traveled a long distance to West Vietnam, her body would definitely take some time to recover. If she learned of her accident, she did not know how anxious she would be. If something happened to her, it would be her fault.

“It’s good that you don’t blame me. Right, because of what happened between you and Master, Rong Xun angrily launched a war and seized the border city of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Now, the border city is already the territory of the Western Vietnam.” Yun Lan’s expression was somewhat complicated.

He was from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he was now in the West Vietnam, and he was also fighting for the West Vietnam. However, he was still a little uncomfortable about the country that had given birth to him.

Yun Xiao naturally knew why Yun Lan’s expression was strange. She felt a little sad in her heart. She only whispered, “When one day we recover the Eastern Jin Dynasty, we can go back openly.”

Although Yun Xiao’s words were indifferent, her pair of calm eyes flashed with a look of certainty.

This gaze caused Yun Lan to be slightly stunned. However, he quickly reacted and his face darkened slightly. Afterwards, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had figured out something. There was a hint of anticipation in his expression.
