Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 229: A Killer Club Called Mieyan

"Young Master, Prince," Cai Qi reported from outside the door, "Xiang Dazhuang and Tang Chengmin are back."

Qiao Lili loosened her arms around Yu Jingyan, then patted Yu Jingyan's hands, asking him to let go as well. Yu Jingyan reluctantly sat down in his seat and subconsciously reached out to touch the teacup, but the tea had already gone cold.

Qiao Lili stuck the bionic skin back on her forehead, and the flickering flame disappeared. Yu Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, but Qiao Lili heard it.

"Let them in, Caiqi, and bring in a pot of hot tea." Qiao Lili felt that her brother Ajing needed to drink some hot tea to calm down.

"Yes."

Xiang Dazhuang and Tang Chengmin came in and greeted each other first, then bowed their heads and said guiltily, "I am incompetent and lost the person."

"Tell me what happened in detail." Being lost was also within Qiao Lili's expectations. These two men were from the military and had excellent kung fu. They started practicing lightness kung fu after working under Qiao Lili. Compared with those ordinary soldiers, their lightness kung fu was pretty good, but when they really met the masters of lightness kung fu in the world, they were completely inferior.

"We followed them all the way. They were heading towards Panhu Man. After crossing the border, they sped up. We were already having a hard time keeping up. It was daybreak, and it was not easy to hide. The young master always told us that it was better to die than to wake up. We had no choice but to return first."

Hearing that the direction was Panhu Barbarian, Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan looked at each other, they were almost meeting each other.

"Okay, go down and eat something and rest. I'll call you if there's anything." Qiao Lili ordered.

The two of them left, Cai Qi came in and poured more tea, then she left again, closed the door, and stood guard outside.

"This matter is probably related to the Saintess of Panhu Barbarian." Yu Jingyan drank a few sips of tea before he felt relieved. Just now, he had a feeling that Xiao A Li would leave him at any time. That feeling made his back cold and panic.

"Tonight, the two of us will follow him." Qiao Lili said. In terms of Qinggong, the two of them are the best among these people, and their kung fu is also the best. Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan's Qinggong was taught by Concubine Yun when they were children. Although she neglected it for a few years later, with the foundation of the boy's kung fu and the good genes inherited from her parents, Qiao Lili's Qinggong has caught up with Yu Jingyan in more than a year.

Well, not really.

Although her kung fu ranked second among this group of people, even crushing Qiao Peng, well, except for the light function crushing, the others were only on par with her, but the gap between her, who was second, and Yu Jingyan, who was first, was still quite large.

Qiao Peng learned the essence of the Langshan School's martial arts from Qiao Xuan, but Qiao Lili and Concubine Yun's Yun family's peerless martial arts, although both sides are only half-baked and one plus one does not equal two, but it is definitely greater than one.

"Young master, breakfast is here." Cai Qi replied from outside.

"Set it."

The two of them had breakfast and rested for a while. They were busy for most of the night and shared a big secret. They were exhausted both physically and mentally. Yu Jingyan received too many messages today and felt extremely insecure. He said he would not go to his room to rest no matter what. After a while of coaxing, Qiao Lili softened her heart and let him sleep on the bed that Caiqi and Caixing slept on outside the room. She also replaced all the things on the bed with new ones.

Originally I thought he just did it occasionally, but unexpectedly, from that day on, he stayed in Qiao Lili's room and openly took over Caiqi and Caixing's jobs.

In the afternoon, all kinds of news came back.

During this period, seventeen similar caravans had been killed by various inns, and the killers were hired from a killer organization.

There was an innkeeper who was unwilling to kill innocent people, so he ignored the mission assigned to him and let a target caravan enter Panhu Barbarian. The next day, the owner's entire family was killed, even the baby in the cradle was not spared. After this incident, all innkeepers dared not to do it. It was a matter of life and death, and it was most important to save their own family's lives first.

Most of the citizens of these small Western Turkic countries are illiterate, have a tough folk character, lack laws, and have little respect for life. This area has always been home to bandits and thieves, and killing someone is considered normal in their minds. What's more, most of the innkeepers are not honest and good people.

As the saying goes: Those who work in carriages, boats, inns, and yamen should be killed even if they are innocent. This also illustrates this point from the side.

"What is the origin of the killer organization?" asked Qiao Lili.

Yu Jingyan touched her head. Little A-li was very smart. He got the news early outside. She actually asked the fundamental question: "This assassin organization belongs to a assassin organization called Mieyan Pavilion in Panhu Man."

Mieyan Pavilion, Mieyan Pavilion, Qiao Lili looked up at Yu Jingyan. She also knew a similar name, Mieyan, the Mieyan of Lana Country. Could they be the same organization?

Mieyan of Lanna Kingdom also trains killers. Where are they sent after training? To Panhu Man?

Mieyan, Mieyan, they specialize in cutting women's scalps, Qiao Lili's mind exploded, Yan, flame, the flame mark on her forehead, Mieyan, is that an organization specifically targeting her and her mother?

Specifically to destroy them, so it's called Mie Yan? My mother is already dead in the eyes of outsiders, so this action is aimed at her, not because of Dayan's identity as the Crown Princess, but because of the flame mark on her forehead?

But how did they know they were here? Their coming here was top secret, and they even left people pretending to be them in the Beimeng military camp. No, that's not right, they didn't know that the Crown Princess of Dayan was the same person as her. It can be said that they knew there was such a person as her, but they didn't know who she was.

It is said that Mieyan has existed in Lanna for hundreds of years. Has he been hunting down people with the flame mark on their foreheads for generations? What deep hatred is this?

She suddenly remembered the confession of the Lanna female official. The Mieyan of Lanna Kingdom had been eradicated. Did that mean that there was still a force on her and her mother's side?

However, it is also possible that it is a completely unrelated force. It doesn’t matter. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. As long as there are still people targeting Mieyan, they are not fighting alone.

Yu Jingyan didn't expect that his words would make Qiao Lili fall into deep thought, and her expression was wavering. He wanted to ask, but was afraid of disturbing her thinking.

Qiao Peng and I could only wait in silence. Although there were more than a dozen people in the room, you could hear a pin drop.

Qiao Lili finally figured it out and said, "Brother, Brother Jing, do you remember the Flame Extinguishing Organization in Lanna Country, the organization that Lou Xinyue belonged to?"

"I think they are either affiliated or closely connected."

Yu Jingyan and Qiao Peng nodded.

That's right. Miesha, who was sent to lurk beside my mother, was a subordinate of the Holy Maiden of Panhu Barbarian. Lou Xinyue, who was sent to approach her, was a man from Mieyan of Lana Country. And the killers trained by Mieyan were actually active in the territory of Panhu Barbarian.

You know, Panhu Man and Lan Na are located in the east and west of Dayan respectively, and they are separated by many mountains. So there must be a thousand connections or ties between them.

So, the target of this trip is not only the saint of Panhu Barbarian, but also a killer gang called Mieyan.

After making some arrangements for the next tasks, the meeting ended and everyone went about their own business. Qiao Lili only left behind Qiao Peng.

She needs to talk to her brother about many things about her mother, because her brother has been at the border with their father. He seems to know less about her and her mother than Yu Jingyan, which is a bit unfair.

He probably didn't know about her mother's fire mark.
