Chapter 236: None of Them Were His Match
ate those close."Listening to Yun Liu say each of the thirty-two characters one by one, Han Yun repeated them silently in his heart. After understanding the meaning of these thirty-two characters, he...Wang Rui and his people were hurrying to meet An Xue Tang when An Xue Tang suddenly returned, telling them to go in the opposite direction, as there should be a small village over there.
Wang Rui couldn't rest assured and only let his subordinates go first. He stayed by An Xuetang's side, "Your Highness, didn't that old woman say that the Lord and others went to that cliff"
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. "Do you believe that old woman's words"
"Huh" Wang Rui dazedly scratched his head. "Your Majesty means...that old woman deliberately gave us false information"
An Xue Tang's lips curled into a sneer. "She did more than just provide false information. Come on, let me show you her true colors."
Wang Rui was still confused. The old woman didn't seem to have any problems, did she When he went in to look for someone, he even personally tested if the old woman was truly blind.
His sword came dangerously close to piercing her eyes, yet her expression remained completely unreadable.
If she's really putting on a show, then this person must be no ordinary!
Wang Rui instantly raised his guard, he drew his sword and closely followed An Xue Tang.
An Xuetang walked while touching the green snake in her hand, her eyes as deep as a cold abyss narrowed slightly. The closer she got to that house, the wider the curve of her lips became.
"...for some reason, a phrase from her former comrades popped into her head: Ah Tang smiles, life and death are uncertain!"
Isn't it just the kind of person who wants to play mind games in front of her I have to say, she still needs a bit more fire!
An Xue Tang walked to the door and kicked it open with her foot.
At once, they saw the old woman huddled in a corner, trembling.
Wang Rui subconsciously looked at An Xuetang. Seeing An Xuetang smile, she took the sword from Wang Rui's hand without saying a word. Her eyes were sharp and she suddenly stabbed at the woman.
An Xue Tang wasn't probing, she was radiating killing intent. If this woman didn't comply, she would die without a doubt!
Perhaps the woman also realized this, so she suddenly struck An Xuetang with a palm, and her pupils began to focus, no longer with that hollow feeling.
Now Wang Rui finally believed it, this woman was truly acting!
He rushed forward and fought the woman, but she was clearly more skilled in martial arts. Wang Rui only exchanged two moves with her before being struck away by a palm strike.
The woman suddenly burst into laughter, squinting at An Xuetang beside her, "You're quite clever, you didn't fall for it. How did you see through me"
"Next time you want to be flawless, remember to take the sachets off at least two days in advance. Otherwise, the unique scent lingering on your body will be hard to go unnoticed."
The woman frowned, instinctively sniffing her nose. She didn't feel the scent lingered on her anymore.
But she didn't know that the scent on her body wasn't smelled by An Xuetang, but by the green snake on An Xuetang's wrist. The green snake had a very sensitive sense of smell.
When An Xuetang proactively went to help the woman up, the green snake smelled a unique scent on her.
If it were just an ordinary taste, the green snake certainly wouldn't have such a big reaction. It was mainly the unique smell on this woman that the green snake had smelled at the city gate.
Yes, it was the corpse that had been hacked to pieces at the city gate. Even under such a stench of blood, Qing She could still smell that unique scent, and she also smelled it on this woman.
So when An Xuetang helped the woman up, the green snake instinctively wanted to attack her, but was stopped by An Xuetang in time.
After An Xuetang, she had been observing that woman, and sure enough, she found something amiss. She wasn't an old woman at all, because she had a Adam's apple!!
His Adam's apple was much smaller than that of an ordinary person. You couldn't tell unless you looked closely, but An Xuetang was skilled in medicine, so she could naturally tell whether this person was male or female.
Moreover, despite the wrinkles on her hands, there were no scars at all. This was simply too illogical.
Can a blind man who lives alone have no scars except wrinkles
That's obviously impossible!
So she immediately realized something was wrong and asked the woman for directions, also to figure out what kind of person this really was.
When she pointed towards the cliff, An Xuetang understood immediately. It was clearly the wrong direction.
She had a sachet of her own making that was once worn on Jing's body. Even though the sachet has fallen off now, there is still a faint scent lingering on him. As long as she has enough time, her little green snake can completely trace where Mo Yunjing left from.
After Wang Rui brought the woman back, she had the little snakes start searching for Ah Jing's scent on her.
The little green snake didn't disappoint her. Not long after, it found the direction of Mo Yunjing's departure. She then had those soldiers go first, while she wanted to personally see who this person was and why he had brought her Ah Jing over there.
"Why have you brought people here" An Xuetang stared at him with eyes as cold as a winter abyss, her voice calm and measured. "Who were you trying to lure out with that package at the city gate I don't know you, your intentions are clearly not directed towards me, are they Have I disrupted your plans"
The man no longer concealed his voice, suddenly erupting in a frenzied laugh. "I didn't expect the Northern Border King to be so capable, actually finding such a unique woman to be his Queen. But... I seem to be more interested in you now. Why don't you come with me"
"Be presumptuous!" Wang Rui, struggling to get up from the ground, pointed at the man and roared with anger, "You audacious villain! Don't you dare be disrespectful to our princess!"
The man glared at Wang Rui, his eyes turning cold as he wanted to strike him down with a single palm. However, An Xuetang was faster than him. She sprinkled the powder she had been holding in her hand towards him.
This is a kind of powder that could make someone weak just by smelling it. After scattering it, An Xuetang fiercely kicked out, wanting to kick him hard.
But this man suddenly retreated, knowing his situation was dire. He struck An Xue Tang with a palm strike and then quickly broke through the window and fled!
An Xue Tang dodged to the side, frowning as she watched the person's back vanish instantly. She didn't pursue them, firstly because she knew she couldn't catch up, and secondly because this person's martial arts skills were undeniably high!
She teamed up with Wang Rui and was completely not his opponent. If it weren't for Wang Rui fighting him just now, drawing his attention, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape his eyes even when she reached for the medicine.
Who on earth is this
An Xuetang didn't have time to think, she quickly had Wang Rui sit down, "Are you alright"
"Your Highness, don't worry about me. Leave here quickly. This man is highly skilled in martial arts. Neither you nor I are his match. If he returns, I fear we both may not survive."
An Xuetang naturally knew. She took out a bottle of healing medicine and gave it to Wang Rui, "Apply it yourself. He won't be back in an hour. In an hour, you must catch up with us. I won't wait for you now, I'll go find Ah Jing first."
Yes!e been orchestrated by the Beijang Royal Manor, she didn't have any evidence.Today's events happened too suddenly.She had intended to come personally to meet An Xuetang and see if, upon learning about...
