Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

A Da lowered his head and accepted the order and went out. He had been investigating for two whole months but had not found anything about his wife. Now that he had finally found a little clue, his master was desperate and was trying every possible means.

To find out where Miss Xu, from whom we had escaped with great difficulty, is, we have to look at the hilltop more than 120 miles north of the capital.

At this time, the sun had just risen, and a small mound on the top of the mountain rose up, revealing a gray face. "Alas!" Before seeing any danger, the mouth sighed first. In the past two months, Xu Yixing's biggest regret every day was why he didn't kill all the bandits in the world!

She rolled her eyes around for several times and didn't see anyone, so she stood up from the pit where she was hiding, brushed the dirt off her body, and limped down the mountain.

Just as I was halfway up the mountain, I heard a loud shout from behind: "Stop!"

Xu Yixing had no time to turn back, and hurriedly turned and ran forward, fearing that a hard arrow behind her would shoot her to death. But before she could run two steps, the sound behind her turned into two crisp groans, followed by the sound of a heavy fall to the ground, as if someone had been attacked and died.

Even if she cherished her life, she couldn't help but look back again, and then she stood still. "Are you Ying Wu?"

The "Oiran" in front of him, who was tall, delicate features and heavily made-up, didn't look like Ying Wu in any way, but Xu Yixing did recognize the steel knife in her hand that was as thin as a cicada's wing. It was made uniformly by the Shadow Guards, and among his Shadow Guards, only Ying Wu could disguise himself like this, right?

"Master, you have good eyes." Ying Wu put the knife in his arms, ignoring the two men whose necks had just been cut. Ying Wu walked over with a graceful step. Even though Xu Yixing was a woman, she felt dizzy.

"Those two people are chasing you?"

"Yes, I'm sorry to have frightened the master." Ying Wu turned around and pointed at the two men. "They had already spotted you and had been betting behind you whether you could run out of this mountain. I solved it for you."

Xu Yixing swallowed a few times frantically. Oh my god, he thought he was flawless, but it turned out that he had been seen by the checkers a long time ago. He was afraid that those two people would attack him before he even set foot on the mountain road.

Ying Wu carefully looked at the person in front of him, his eyes lingering on her tattered clothes, and...

"This is not the place to talk. The two bodies will probably be found soon. Are you safe?" Xu Yixing interrupted his gaze, his tone almost pleading.

"Walk."

The place that Ying Wu brought Xu Yixing to was something she had never imagined she would go to in her entire lifetime.

"Cuihongyuan?" Xu Yixing sat in Yingwu's room, still in disbelief. "I say, wasn't the money I gave you enough? You've only been away from me for two months, and you're already selling your body?"

Ying Wu smiled sweetly and suddenly changed to a female voice: "Miss, you are joking. I am not short of money, but I am very anxious because I can't find you~"

"Stop, give me something to eat first." Xu Yixing was afraid that he would feel nauseous and vomit later. It would be too pitiful if he had no food in his stomach and could only vomit acid.

"Everything is ready. There is a bathtub over there. Please clean up first and I will come back later." Ying Wu stood up and said goodbye, as if this place was very safe and posed no threat at all.

When Xu Yixing saw him leave, he had more than a thousand words to say and ask in his heart, but he was really hungry and dirty at the moment, so he waited until everything was packed up before he called out to Ying Wu. Sure enough, he came in, still dressed as a woman.

"I ask, you answer. How are the others?"

"I'm not sure. After we separated in the capital, we all went on the sealing mission and haven't been in touch with each other."

"What is the seal?"

Ying Wu's eyes flickered slightly as he recounted the events of that day one by one.

It turned out that after he returned to the palace after taking the account books, he immediately discovered that the person lying on the bed was not Xu Yixing, and Ying Jiu was missing. He immediately understood that the master must have escaped as he said before. It must be an emergency, so the master would only take Ying Jiu away first.

So she immediately took her things and left. She originally wanted to go to the palace to find Ying San who was in charge of watching Chao Jianyi. However, she did not expect to meet Ying Jiu outside the palace first. After the two got to know each other, she realized that something bad had happened. It turned out that the life on the run that her master mentioned was a life for her alone?

Hey, this is too disloyal!

The two of them just had a brief discussion and immediately decided to let Yingwu leave first before the city was sealed off, while Yingjiu would wait here for Yingsan and tell him about the Shadow Guards' plan to completely seal off the city.

"The so-called sealing is that when the Shadow Guards are unable to continue due to a major change, they temporarily lie low and wait for the right time to become active again."

"I see." Xu Yixing smiled approvingly. She did move the people far away when she left, but she didn't expect that the shadow guards had their own way of survival. I guess she didn't need to worry about them. "But since you're sealed, why did you come to me?"

Ying Wu smiled, but there was a hint of inexplicable resentment in his eyes, which should not be shown in front of Xu Yixing. But after he finished explaining, Xu Yixing understood why he looked at him like that.

"The master left in a hurry, probably because he didn't want to take us with him..."

Without waiting for him to continue, Xu Yixing quickly explained to himself: "I don't think you are a burden, I'm just worried that if we go together, our target will be too big, and I'm afraid that I'll get you into trouble if I go alone."

"Yes." Ying Wu nodded slightly. He had guessed this reason. "It's just that you, my master, have a rather rosy view of the outside world. You are a woman with a lot of money and a delicate body, and you don't have any guards. You are clearly a 'hook'. I'm afraid you will run into danger before you get too far from the capital, right?"

Xu Yixing's face turned slightly red. She had indeed considered the issue of safety before leaving Beijing, but she was confident that she had some fighting skills, and she brought so many banknotes that she would be able to find a good person even if she hired someone temporarily. Who knew that she was careless.

That day, under the urging of her "large sum of money", the coachman of the carriage company rode faster and shortened the journey of more than a day to one night. In order to conceal her tracks, she did not get off the carriage at Xiaoxi Town as agreed, but left at a small village before it, letting the coachman drive the empty carriage to the destination, while she herself went to the mountains to hide for a while.

As a result, they were unlucky. When they were resting at a house in the mountains, they encountered bandits coming down the mountain to rob. They actually tied up all the people in the small village and took them to the mountain. It was called a village, but in fact it was just a few mountain households gathered together, with a total of only about twenty people, including adults and children.

As a "fish in the pond", Xu Yixing was very pitiful and was tied up and taken to the mountain. After going up, he found out that the bandits were not originally on the mountain. Because the soldiers destroyed the original nest during the bandit suppression, they moved here with some of the remaining people.
