Chapter 29: Capturing “Two Yu”

After walking for a quarter of an hour, Chen Xin discovered a hidden cave covered by green vines ahead. Seeing that both of them were somewhat unable to hold on anymore, Chen Xin decided to rest and heal their wounds here.

“Go to the cave ahead.”

Chen Xin took the lead and lifted the green vines to walk in.

The lady and servant of the Yu family, who were still confused, wondered where the cave was. When they saw the benefactor enter, they suddenly realized and followed in.

The three of them and a horse squeezed into the cave with difficulty. Seeing this, Chen Xin quickly took out plum blossom needles and healed their wounds. She needed to continue rushing to the Tiger Escort Bareau.

“Sit with your backs to me, take off your outer clothes, and leave a bellyband. I’ll help you heal your wounds.”

The lady and servant quickly complied, and in just a few moments, they had taken off their clothes and sat cross-legged with their backs to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin also sat cross-legged, and with her fingers, she skillfully inserted several silver needles into their heads and backs.

She then circulated her inner energy in several acupoints and guided it to heal their wounds.

Doing this for both of them at the same time required Chen Xin to concentrate intensely, which consumed a lot of mental energy.

At the same time, in the capital city.

In the magnificent and resplendent Feng Qi Palace, inside the brightly lit hall where the candle flames flickered as bright as day, there sat a woman dressed in golden silk lining. Despite her beautiful face, she exuded a dark and sinister aura.

“Your Majesty, I have failed my mission. Two scoundrels from the Yu family have escaped.”

A dark gray-robed guard almost prostrated himself on the ground as she reported.

“What about the guards sent out?” asked the voice full of gloom and coldness.

“They went to pursue and kill the scoundrels from the Yu family.”

“Why haven’t they returned yet?”

“I was just about to report this matter. The shadows lost contact. I’m afraid…”

Hearing this, the empress slammed the table and shouted angrily, “A bunch of useless people! They can’t even kill two people. What use are they to me?”

“I’ve worked so hard to create an illusion, letting everyone know that the Yu family’s downfall was due to revenge from the martial world. If those two Yu scoundrels spread the news, wouldn’t it be a waste of my plan?!”

After all, the head of the Yu family was still knowledgeable. With just a little thought, one could see that these were royal guards.

Who dared to embroider the emblem of the Yunwen Kingdom on their clothes?! That’s practically seeking death!

“Immediately send people to search secretly!” The empress, who had quickly calmed down, ordered.

“Yes.”

Watching the back of the retreating guards, the empress’s face was gloomy, and she murmured to herself, “No one can stop this empress from ruling the world!!”

The Yu family? Who cares if the Yu family is the richest? With them gone, their wealth can be transferred to the treasury for my use!

Chen Xin opened her eyes, withdrew her hand, and retracted the plum blossom needles, saying, “You’re good to go. Move around and see.”

The lady and servant quickly got up and moved around, and sure enough, there was no discomfort. Considering how serious Yu Yi’s injury was, it would take at least half a month to heal, but unexpectedly, it was healed in half an hour.

The two of them immediately looked at Chen Xin with admiration, thinking that the benefactor was indeed a divine doctor!

When Chen Xin asked them to move around, she accidentally saw Yu Yi’s full chest bouncing around under the bellyband, which was quite eye-catching.

How did they manage to escape all the way like this?

“Thank you, benefactor, for saving our lives!” The two of them knelt on the ground and expressed their gratitude.

Chen Xin accepted it as a matter of course, helped them up, and said, “Since you said you’ll be servants, then you’ll be my subordinate from now on?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t worry, I don’t need you to be a servant. Change your appearance now and leave. Don’t use your original names. You’ll be called An Xue, and Yu Yi will be called An Ji. Is there anything else you want to say?”

“No.”

“What are your skills?”

An Xue said, “I can make money.”

An Ji said, “I have martial arts skills and can protect my master.”

“No, you’ll go to Wuding Town. An Xue, go find Mrs. Lu in Pulu Alley and tell her I want you to be the shopkeeper of the visible wine house. She’ll understand what to do.”

An Xue nodded and said, “Yes.”

Chen Xin continued, “An Ji, you’ll go to Linjia Village in Wuding Town and secretly protect my fiance, a man named Fang Ziyu at the end of the village. Remember, if anyone dares to bully him, you can cripple or kill them.”

“Yes, understood.”

“Well, let’s go.” Chen Xin walked out of the cave and said to them.

Watching the two of them walk away, Chen Xin also got on her horse and soon disappeared into the forest.
