Chapter 1385 Really Her?
An Xue Tang is, no need for all the other chatter.""I don't know." Dong Ge refused without giving any face."Brother Dong, don't try to fool us. You definitely know! Spit it out or you'll regret it!"T...To get a son for free, without having to endure the pain of pregnancy and childbirth, and be called "mother" by someone, is certainly a good thing.
The man in white couldn't believe that this woman could be so calm. Even at this point, she could still laugh and say such things to him.
But soon he would know why she dared to speak with such arrogance, for she had the capability to back it up.
Ning'er wanted to know who was behind this man and more importantly, who the traitor in the palace was. Therefore, she wanted to capture him alive.
After a few rounds, Ning'er discovered that this person not only had impressive light skills, but also carried many bottles of poison water made from green vitriol. She had already dodged several attacks.
But several brothers from the Xintang Valley still couldn't avoid it and were directly injured.
The man in white knew he only had a little poison water left. If he didn't find a way to escape, he might really fall into their hands today.
Then, he suddenly grabbed the last bit of poison and flung it at Ning'er's face.
Xunhu and the others were shocked, "Be careful, Ning'er!"
If this poison water touches Ning'er's face, Ning'er will surely be disfigured.
Just as everyone rushed to save Ning'er, the man in white turned and fled. His light kung fu was already fast, and without anyone blocking him, his speed increased even more. By the time everyone reacted, he had already jumped onto the roof of a nearby building and left without looking back.
Others wanted to chase after, but Ning'er and Xún Hù spoke at the same time, "There's no need to chase, we can't catch up."
This person's martial arts skills are extraordinary, they've run so far, it's impossible to catch up.
After Xún Hù finished speaking, he looked at Níng'ěr, "Are you hurt"
"I'm fine, how about you"
Apart from a slight scratch on his left shoulder, Xunhu was fine. The injury was caused by the man in white when he tried to forcibly take the letter from his chest and wouldn't let go. Xunhu hadn't been prepared and got scratched by his sword. For him, it was just a minor wound.
The letter was deliberately left for him to snatch, otherwise wouldn't the words written by their princess be wasted So he proactively took it out and let him 'snatch' it.
But several of the brothers were splashed with the poison, their clothes burned away and their skin scorched.
Ning'er felt the pulse of one of them, confirming that the water wasn't poisonous before she finally relaxed. She looked at Xún Hù, "Let's return to the estate first and treat everyone's wounds."
"Good."
Xunhu turned to look at the person beside him, "Return to the residence."
Everyone chorused, "Yes."
......
Jǐngtáng Yuàn
After returning to the manor, Ning'er and Xún Hù came to report to their own princess. Upon learning that they hadn't captured the person, An Xue Tang wasn't surprised at all.
Even a simple martial artist wouldn't be able to successfully scheme against the Beijang Royal Manor.
During this time, being able to successfully obtain information from their palace speaks volumes about this person's capabilities. Capturing him won't be easy.
All I want is for everyone to return safely tonight.
And this trip was not without its gains, at least Ning'er discovered that the person was from the Western Regions.
The West Region...This will narrow the scope down considerably.
Now, anyone associated with the Western Regions is connected to the emperor, who has hired many skilled fighters from the West.
Another thing is Ming Deng and Zhi Er, they were the first to use the poison of the Western Regions' evil tribe.
Tonight's move might just be made by Zhi'er and Ming Deng, after all, the emperor is occasionally out of his mind now and it's unlikely he would pay attention to her in most cases.
If they were Lanterns and Chi'er, what was their purpose
An Xuetang couldn't figure this out at all. Before, she had saved Zhi'er from Yun Rui Shi's hands because Mo Yun Jing said that Zhi'er had the same familiar feeling as his mother, extremely strong.
He suspected there might be some connection between Ji'er and his mother.
Although Mo Yunjing didn't say it out loud, he still found his mother's body.
After rescuing Zhi'er, she kept trying to find a way to wake her up. She wanted to ask her who she really was, why she had the aura of the former empress, and why she had been captured by Yunrui for so many years.
But no one expected Ming Deng to know Zhi'er.
Zhi'er unexpectedly woke up on the day he arrived and escaped from the palace with a lantern.
After leaving the palace, the two disappeared like they had evaporated into thin air.
Although I don't know what they're up to exactly, something tells me tonight's events are somehow related to them.
For now, all we can do is let it go and call it a day.
After a moment of silence, An Xue Tang suddenly came to her senses, "Bring the injured people over to have their wounds treated."
Having heard Ning'er's description, she had a general idea of what kind of 'poison water' that person used.
If she wasn't mistaken, it should be modern sulfuric acid, capable of corroding human skin.
And she also knew that such sulfuric acid was easy to obtain here; one only needed to use alum as a raw material and calcine it in a distillation flask. She had done this before.
It can also be used to harm people. The so-called Potion Master of Bai Guang Palace was disfigured by sulfuric acid she developed.
Although Ning'er said she would attend to the injuries of Tanggu's brothers tonight, she wouldn't be at ease until she saw it with her own eyes.
Ning'er and Xúnhù tried to dissuade her, but in the end they still called over their wounded brothers.
Under Ning'er and the others' cooperation, An Xuetang personally treated their festering wounds and bandaged them.
......
On the other side, the man in white had already seen the letter written by An Xuetang.
Upon seeing that insulting remark, a dark cloud appeared on his face. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally, he kicked a tree in frustration.
"Damn it!"
The cat is out of the bag now, it seems I can't contact that person for a while.
It seems the master was right, one should not underestimate the Northern Frontier Princess and those around her.
But it's too late to say anything now.
......
The next day
After An Xue Tang woke up, she heard Ning'er say, “This morning, Shuangshuang woke up and insisted on coming to see the Princess. However, Yun Si didn't let her leave the courtyard. She cried and made a fuss, saying there was something very important she wanted to tell the Princess.”
An Xuetang frowned, "Did he say what the important matter was"
"No, Yun Si wouldn't say what it was about. She just insisted on seeing the Princess and then she would explain."
Then let her wait patiently.
Ninger nodded slightly, "Your Highness, there's one more thing."
"Huh"
“Yesterday, the fabric was indeed from Your Highness’s clothing. The servant inquired with the washerwoman early in the morning. That day, Shuangshuang did go to the laundry room with her. Furthermore, after inspecting it, we found that Your Highness’s changed garments were indeed missing one. This servant suspects that Shuangshuang took Your Highness’s clothing. Should this servant bring people to search Shuangshuang's room”
“......”
Suo a house... An Xue Tang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Yes, but let her leave first. She must not know about this."d cavalrymen, half of them died, and the other half were more or less injured, but they still got away.Feng Ming chased them all the way, but those cavalrymen finally disappeared into the territory of...
