"Ha.. Ha.. Ha.."

When the woman successfully got out of the forest, she found out that in front of her was a steep cliff. When she lowered her head, she could faintly see the outline of a small river below the cliff and hear the sound of the gus.h.i.+ng water. She could only stop and retract her footsteps. Unfortunately, before she could even move away, another batch of arrows simultaneously flew towards her.

*swis.h.!.+* *swis.h.!.+* *swish*

"Ah!!!"

The woman was. .h.i.t on her back and left calf. The impact forced her to move forward. Unable to stop herself, the woman fell off the cliff.

'Master… please forgive Ling'er… Ling'er failed.'

The woman slowly closed her eyes. A tear slowly rolled down on her face.

"Your Lords.h.i.+p." Five men in black clothes simultaneously kneeled.

When Xu Fei Yi left XuanRong's courtyard, the shadow guards hiding in the dark went forward and greeted him.

"Rise. Where did Your Ladys.h.i.+p go?"

"Her Ladys.h.i.+p went to the right wing together with her three maidservants." One of the shadow guards answered.

"Mmm.. Follow me." Xu Fei Yi's eyes sharpened when he stared at the direction where XuanRong went.

"Yes, Your Lords.h.i.+p. This subordinate obeys."

"Stop."

XuanRong raised her hand, stopping YuShen and the rest from moving forward.

XuanRong lowered her head and saw the entire layout of the place where the delegation from the Jing country stayed. It was a former residence of an imperial prince but was later on converted into a place where the guests from other countries reside. After the Emperor's birthday banquet, aside from Jing Country who decided to stay, all of the delegates from the other countries returned to their own country.

Thus, the only ones who were occupying the entire residence was Long Hao Chen and his subordinates.

"One, two, three, four… five men on the east side and three at the front. YuShen, go to the west wing."
