Phoenix Duchess - C38

Dong Ling Wan spent an entire night explaining to the housekeeper about the matters in the mansion, and then arranged matters for herself before returning to her room in peace. However, it was already near midnight.

Her long hair was tied up high in a jade belt, a golden crown on her head, and her long willow eyebrows were intentionally stretched long enough to fly to her temples. A dark blue bag was tied around her waist, making her look like a pure and innocent young man who had yet to go into the world.

After all, it wasn’t convenient for a girl to go out, so Eastflow Wan ordered people to buy suitable men’s clothing overnight. On this trip, Dong Ling Wan disguised herself as a young man from a rich family who was gravely ill, and went to Lianlian County to seek his parents’ and seek medical assistance. Dong Ling Wan then powdered her face to make it look even paler, and then quietly left the city with her group.

The further away they were from the imperial city, the more careful they were in travelling, and the stricter the checkpoints in the cities. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The Upper Level Trial could be said to be a very special place. After leaving the Upper Level Trial, one would be considered to have gone outside.

While hurrying on their way, Ling Wan of the East would also wonder if they would meet Patrol Officer outside the pass. He had heard about the situation of the battle along the way.

“I heard that Prince Rong Yuan is the current leader of the imperial family, and the son of Prince Rong Yuan carries out military orders on his behalf!”

“I heard that the battle for the Qi King is over!”

“The allied forces of King Qi and King Gongnan have fought against the father and son duo of Wang Rongyuan. Both sides have suffered terrible losses!”

“…”

“Miss, now that we’ve arrived at the border, should we send a message to the prince?” “This bandit is not a good person. If something happens when the time comes …” Hearing Yu was very worried. With the lady’s weak and delicate body, she would be in trouble even if she travelled too fast, not to mention going to the Black Cloud Mountain alone.

“With his personality, if he knew I was outside the pass, he would have come to pick me up himself. How could it be so easy for him to lead troops? “If that’s the case, it would be bad for his reputation.”

“Then …”

Eastern Ling Wan smiled, turned off the candle flame, and took off her boots to lie down on the bed. Rain stood guard by the door, and outside there were two guards.

In the darkness, a special fragrance drifted over from the end of the corridor. The bodies of the two guards who were originally in a deep slumber slipped backwards, and two black-clothed people flashed out from the corner, quickly breaking the necks of the two people.

Suddenly, he heard two faint muffled sounds coming from outside the door. He raised his eyelids and saw a sharp knife reaching in from outside the door in an attempt to open the door. He heard the sound of the door being kicked open and the two men in black entered the room at the same time.

The blade shone with a cold light as it flew straight towards Ling Wan. She hurriedly rushed forward and pulled Dong Ling Wan along with it to avoid the blade, but how could the two girls who didn’t know martial arts be a match for the two assassins. Seeing the tip of the blade stabbing towards her, Dong Ling’s breathing became sluggish.

The expected pain had yet to arrive. When she opened her eyes, she saw Glue Xue’s hand on the man in black’s wrist. At the same time, Chen Huan flew in the door and started tangling with the man in black.

Glowing Snow nodded her head and opened the two men in black who were fighting with her with a palm. She came to Dong Ling Wan and Tingyu’s side, and although Dong Ling Wan was alright, Qing Yu couldn’t even stand up, so Glue Xue had no choice but to bring the two of them to a relatively safe place.

He raised his hand and the blade fell.

A sweet and warm blood splattered all over the ground. A black head rolled to Eastern Ling Wan’s feet. That person’s eyes were wide open, and he died with grievance. Tingyu screamed and fainted. Eastern Ling Wan was also quite frightened. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty, and her breathing became unsteady.

It was the first time in her life that she had seen such a bloody scene. Her mind was blank. At this moment, she was not afraid at all. Looking at that head, at the eyes that were filled with resentment and widened due to unwillingness, she was surprisingly calm …

“Miss, it’s not a good idea to stay here any longer, please leave!”

While it was still in a mess, Chen Huan jumped onto the carriage and left with the others.

“Where’s Wang Shun?”

Chen Huan lowered her head and said in a deep voice, “Dead.”

This group of people were prepared to come and take everyone’s lives. When Dong Ling Wan left the sect, besides the two Xue Sisters and Chen Huan, she also brought Wang Shun and her family of thirty best guards. However, after this change, only the four of them remained.

For the next few days, very few people chose to talk about the events of that day in tacit understanding. The surroundings were filled with a strange aura.

At noon that day, the four of them rested in a forest. Eastern Ling Wan sat on a big rock and blew, and the forest was covered with dense trees and shade. Not far away, there was a small stream, the scenery was very beautiful.

“I don’t want to eat these today. There’s a stream nearby. Chen Huan, go catch some fish and enjoy the snow. Take Tingyu with you to pick up some dried wood.” Ling Hong instructed as she pushed aside the pastries that Blessed Snow had brought.

“Young miss, it’s better if we all stay together at this time. Young miss wants to eat fish, why not wait until after we enter the city tonight …”

“If you want to go, then go!”

Chen Huan was about to turn around when she heard her voice come from behind. With a hint of playfulness in her voice, she said, “Principal Chen, don’t you have anything you want to say to your employer?”
