Chapter 434: Smooth Entry into the Valley

ighten our belts and pay silver, we may not be able to get in.”Ripple effects, spoken truthfully."Is the situation that bad already"Yu Junyu frowned.If you don't believe me, just have your driver inve...These people were Qiqi's subordinates. When they charged into the middle section of the canyon, they received an order to secretly slip back to the canyon entrance and ambush there, capturing the escaped bandits. They were also observing the skill of the guards around Lady Zhen.

When Ripple brought twenty children down, they saw it. They didn't expect that Ripple's light skills were so impressive. Madam Zhen was also deeply hidden. Only the driver was truly without any skill, but he was obedient to Ripple.

They watched as ripples intercepted the bandits escaping from the canyon, watching her pull silver notes from their bodies and wink in their direction, before waving them away and letting them go.

They could only quickly apprehend the person. If they let someone escape under their noses, their Shadow Guard Camp couldn't afford to lose this individual.

After Ripples finished drawing the line, she walked back to her carriage and watched as the three people subdued the six bandits. Since all six bandits were injured, while the three remained fresh, they captured them all within a quarter of an hour.

While watching the ripples of the entire process, her eyes flickered. These people were quick, accurate and ruthless, their attacks all landing on the most vulnerable parts of the body. It seemed they were leaving survivors intentionally, deliberately avoiding fatal blows. This reminded her of the black-clothed men who raided the Su Nü Palace six years ago, Princess Xiangyi's guard unit. Their martial arts styles were the same.

Her brow furrowed slightly, and then she spoke to the children hiding behind the carriage:

"Let's go! Come with me to Huai'ruo County."

"Yes, heroic woman!"

The children's eyes were bright, full of sparkle.

Ripple placed the three youngest children on Bai Long's back, patted its head, and whispered in its ear:

"Little radish head walks slowly, it's hard for you to carry them. When we get back, I'll give you fine fodder."

Bai Long nodded his head and let out a snort, as if agreeing to Lian Yi's request.

The older children, seeing this, spontaneously followed the carriage. Their envious eyes kept flitting to the white horses beneath their three younger siblings.

"Where does Madam Zhen intend to take these children"

The man who had captured the leader of the bandits immediately went to the carriage and respectfully asked,

"Lian Yi said that some of these children were kidnapped or stolen, so she's going to send them to the county government office in Huai Rou County so they can be reunited with their parents. As for the rest of the children, Lian Yi has enough silver taels from what she retrieved to take care of them. Do you think this arrangement is okay"

A calm voice, that of Wang Zhenzhen, came from inside the car.

"Lady Zhen has thought everything through, so let's set off together!"

The man cupped his hands and said after hearing this.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he flung the six men, bound like zongzi, onto his mount and rode headlong through the gorge.

Wang Ya zu very tactfully drove his carriage, following behind these three people.

The ripples have entered the carriage, transmitting sound into the secret passage:

"Auntie, I think that Master Qi is likely from the Imperial Guard."

"Are you sure"

Wang Zhenzhen frowned and asked.

“Sure, six years ago, I fought with Xiangyi's guards. The martial arts of these people under Gongzi Qi are the same as those people. Although they tried to conceal it, some things are unconscious and cannot be completely abandoned.”

"We haven't seen Young Master Qi make a move, this remains to be verified."

Although it hasn't been confirmed, I can tell that Qi Gongzi is skilled in martial arts. The only ones who could command the dark guards besides him would be their leader. I suspect his position is not low.

After thinking for a moment, Lian Yi said.

"That's rather unfortunate then. You were born injured and near death back then, so you were left behind, while that boy should have been taken away by Xiangyi."

Auntie Zhen said, "He now serves the Royal Family, and even more so, Princess Xiangyi"

"It's unclear. If your guess is right, this child must have had a tough time these years."

Wang Zhenzhen let out a soft sigh.

He is suspicious of us, and we are suspicious of him. We need to figure out how to verify his identity.

Moreover, his trip to Longxi this time is probably also because of the rumors of treasure. The Wang family and these rumors are inseparable. If he is really your brother, then with his status, it would be easy for him to get involved in this matter. Perhaps he is a pawn of the royal family.

Auntie, these are all guesses. Before they're confirmed, let's just wait and see.

"That's the best we can do!"

The sound ahead grew louder, and the two ended their telepathic conversation. Ripples immediately jumped down from the carriage.

As soon as he arrived, he saw in a ravine that many people were dragging corpses and some were sitting on the ground treating their wounds. Others were interrogating the surviving bandits. Judging from their attire, they were clearly a group of martial artists.

The arrival of ripples also startled those people. One man in green robes saw the man who had taken the lead in arresting the criminal and then saw ripples with many children, so he stepped forward and politely bowed:

"At your service, Miss. My name is Xiao Shu, the one known as Yu Fan."

"It's Young Master Xiao, I am Flying Sword Immortal Lian Yi!"

The ripples seem to be bowing respectfully.

"So it was Ripple Girl Hero, you were the one ambushing from the other side to capture those bandit leaders"

Xiao Shu immediately asked.

That's not the case. We joined Qi Gongzi's team temporarily. Before entering the canyon, we heard fighting sounds here. We might be affected by it, so Qi Gongzi asked us to wait outside the canyon for a while.

I didn't expect there to be any fish that slipped through the net. I just stopped them, and it was Qi Gongzi's men who arrested them. I wouldn't dare take credit for myself.

Ripples said something that was half true and half false.

"What about those children"

"A child saved by chance."

The ripples were unwilling to speak more, for speaking further would expose the fact that she had entered the bandit's lair alone.

Those children were all huddled together at that time, not daring to make a sound for fear of being mistaken for the bandit's children and captured.

"I wonder, Young Master Xiao, why are you here to besiege the bandits Did you take the official reward"

R ripples changed the subject directly.

Since nothing in sight suggested the presence of any government officials, it was clear that this was a private gathering of martial artists.

Xiao Shu was about to delve further into Lian Yi's origins, after all, he had never heard of the name "Flying Sword Immortal". A woman in a yellow shirt walked quickly over and called out to Xiao "Brother Xiao", interrupting the conversation between the two.

What are you talking about Can MeiMei hear

The woman in yellow smiled and asked, glancing at Lian'er's face, her eyes immediately becoming alert.

Who is this

Ripples asked generously.

"This is Wang Meimei of Qishan Baguamen, and she is also one of the people who formulated this plan to eradicate bandits in this area."

"So it's Lady Wáng, truly a woman who doesn't yield to men! You've devised such a thorough plan, I reckon you'll capture all these bandits in one fell swoop!"

Ripple smiled and bowed, offering a rainbow fart.

"You flatter me, what should I call you"

Just call me Ripple.

Immediately, the ripples shifted the target of the inquiry to Wang Meimei, leaving Xiao Shu aside.to tell Miss, she seems in a good mood today."Then Grandma Sun stepped into the room.Moments later, Grandma Sun came out again and said to Sakura:"Come in, miss wants to see you."After hearing this, C...
