Chapter 1085: Ah Xuan ‘s Whereabouts
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jing Yi had accompanied the Duchess out of the city to visit her family and had just returned to the capital this morning.
When he heard that Su Xiaoxiao was back, he rode over without entering the house.
Su Xiaoxiao asked the servant to invite Jing Yi into the residence.
“Jing Yi.”
Su Xiaoxiao greeted him.
After not seeing him for half a year, Jing Yi had grown taller and stronger.
Jing Yi’s eyes lit up when he saw her.
He walked over quickly and looked at her, then at her pregnancy. “Has it been hard?”
“No.” Su Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head. “Jing Yi has grown up.”
“I’m an adult to begin with.”
Jing Yi had the heart to be an older brother.
“Ergou.” Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Ergou.
Su Ergou was unhappy.
Jing Yi couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to Ergou?” Su Ergou said sadly, “My fourth cousin is gone. I feel terrible.” Jing Yi thought for a moment. “Your fourth cousin… Su Xuan?”
“Yeah.”
Su Ergou nodded aggrievedly. He liked Fourth Cousin very much.
No, he liked all his cousins.
In the countryside, their cousin from the Chen family would only bully and look down on him.
The cousins from the Su family wouldn’t.
They were very good to him.
Jing Yi asked curiously, “Is he gone? But I saw him on the way back to the capital today.” Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou said in unison,
“Where is he?!”
It had been raining in the capital for three days, and it was finally sunny today.
The blue sky was clear with white clouds.
Wuhu rode its golden eagle carriage and flapped its wings in the air with its falcon and black crow brothers.
Su Xiaoxiao, Jing Yi, and Su Ergou sat in a carriage.
Su Ergou couldn’t wait to open the curtain and look forward. “Young Marquis Jing, are we almost there?”
Jing Yi also lifted the curtain on his side. “Soon. I saw him by the river ahead.”
Su Xiaoxiao was very familiar with this area.
She had been here more than once.
After walking for a while, Jing Yi stopped the carriage.
Su Ergou stuck his head out and looked around. “This place… is so desolate.”
Jing Yi jumped out of the carriage and helped Su Xiaoxiao down.
Su Xiaoxiao stood where she was.
To the east was the palace, and to the west was the peach forest of the original White Lotus Society.
With Su Xuan’s personality, he naturally wouldn’t hide in the palace.
Seeing her looking in the direction of the peach forest, Jing Yi said, “I only saw him fetching water by the river. As for whether he entered the peach forest, I’m not sure.”
Jing Yi was not familiar with Su Xuan.
If it were Su MO, who had fought side by side with him, he might have stopped to greet him.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Let’s go to the peach forest to take a look.”
She could not let go of any opportunity to find the Head of the Secret Service.
Jing Yi said, “A portion of the mechanisms inside have been eliminated by the Imperial Court, but there are still many that have not been triggered. You have to be careful when you enter.”
This was a reminder to Su Ergou.
Su Ergou was oblivious to the danger. His eyes were filled with the excitement of coming out for his first mission.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Ergou, bring down the bag on the table.”
“Oh.”
Su Ergou jumped out of the carriage with his bag.
Su Xiaoxiao took out three gas masks.
Jing Yi knew how to wear it, but Su Ergou did not.
Su Xiaoxiao put it on him.
Su Ergou panted. “Sister, what is this?”
Su Xiaoxiao put it on herself. “It’s a mask. There is miasma inside. You won’t be poisoned if you wear it.”
“Oh.”
Su Ergou breathed in and out and continued to breathe.
The three of them entered the peach forest.
Wuhu led its small army to open the way.
When they encountered the miasma forest, Wuhu led the way and flew high in the sky. It could be said to be very familiar.
Su Ergou looked at the fog around him and asked, “Sister, is this miasma?”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
“Be careful!”
Jing Yi stopped Su Ergou.
Su Ergou’s leg froze in midair.
Jing Yi pulled out his sword and stabbed it into the ground. A row of sharp knives suddenly stabbed out from where Su Ergou had originally planned to land.
Su Ergou’s face turned pale.
If he had stepped on it just now, his feet would have been pierced into a sieve!
Jing Yi said to Su Ergou, “Follow behind me.”
“Oh.”
Su Ergou obediently did as he was told.
The three of them didn’t get far. The falcon overhead let out a wary screech. Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “Someone’s here!”
Jing Yi quickly turned around and protected Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou behind him.
It was two masked assassins.
They had also come from the miasma forest. Surprisingly, they were fine.
It seemed that they had antidotes in their hands.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them deeply.
The other party’s gaze was unfriendly, as if he was about to attack them.
Su Xiaoxiao immediately understood. “We’re being followed.”
The two of them pounced at Su Xiaoxiao.
Jing Yi raised his sword to meet their attacks.
Jing Yi was already a rare expert in the capital. Ordinary assassins could not do anything to him.
However, the two of them were clearly not ordinary assassins.
Jing Yi was forced back by a palm strike and quickly rushed back!
Su Xiaoxiao guessed their identities.
It was the same group of people who attacked Ling Yun that night.
They did not succeed and knew that she was Zhuge Qing’s physician, so they wanted to attack her.
“You guys go first!”
Jing Yi said to Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou. “Let’s go!”
Su Xiaoxiao made a prompt decision.
She brought Su Ergou into the miasma forest.
She jumped onto a towering tree.
Under the cover of the miasma and leaves, she found a high ground and took out her bow and arrow from the pharmacy.
The strength of the two of them was not inferior to the puppet experts of the Holy Maiden Temple. It was a little difficult for Jing Yi to deal with them alone.
She seized the opportunity and decisively shot an arrow.
Swish!
Accompanied by a sharp sound, the arrow suddenly shot at the heart of one of the assassins!
The assassin moved when he heard the sound. He had no choice but to retract the sword that was about to stab Jing Yi to block the cold arrow.
Although Jing Yi dodged the attack, he didn’t have time to be happy. He looked in Su Xiaoxiao’s direction and shouted, “Be careful!” The mechanism in the miasma forest was triggered. The huge round stone rolled down the hill.
“Ergou! Get out of the way!” Su Xiaoxiao shouted.
Su Ergou jumped.
Su Xiaoxiao also used her qinggong to jump down.
Just as she left, the tree was broken by a boulder and fell into a row of knives that broke out of the ground.
Not only did the siblings have to dodge the rocks that rolled down the mountain, but they also had to be careful of the sharp knives that could appear at any time.
Two boulders were stuck.
It was a safe place up there.
Su Xiaoxiao decisively grabbed Su Ergou’s arm and planned to throw him up.
Unexpectedly, Su Ergou threw her onto the rock first.
Su Xiaoxiao’s expression changed. “Ergou!”
It was too late for Su Ergou to go up again.
Boom!
The huge rock slammed into Su Ergou.
“Roar!”
At the critical moment, a strong black shadow stood in front of Su Ergou and raised its fists that were as heavy as 500 kilograms, smashing the huge rock into pieces!
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes brightened.
It was the black bear!
The black bear jumped onto the stone where Su Xiaoxiao was with Su Ergou.
Not long after, the stone array stopped.
A little black bear cub ran over from the depths of the forest with its chubby bear body.
They were once poisonous creatures of the White Lotus Society and had a certain resistance to this miasma forest.
However, the situation on Jing Yi’s side was not optimistic.
Under the pincer attack, Jing Yi’s arm was cut.
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. “Senior, if you don’t make a move, the lighter will be gone.”
There was silence for three seconds.
The old man finally appeared.
However, his look of wanting to paint himself into a ball of charcoal shocked su Ergou!
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the old man deeply.
Why did he disguise himself so well?
Could it be that… he was afraid of being recognized?
He knew those two assassins!
The old man hesitated for a moment, as if he was conflicted about what martial art to use.
In the end, he punched the two of them.
It looked like there was no order, but every punch hit their flesh and every move shook the bones!
