Chapter 288
In the bamboo forest, Zhu Qingmei hid behind a few giant bamboos. Her worried eyes peered through the gaps between the bamboos and constantly looked out of the mountain path. She was waiting for Xiao Chen’s return.
Zhu Qingmei began to regret letting Xiao Chen go out alone to investigate the enemy’s information. Xiao Chen had already left for the time it takes to burn two sticks of incense, but she still hadn’t seen him return.
Zhu Qingmei naturally began to worry about Xiao Chen. She wanted to go out and find Xiao Chen several times, but in the end, she resisted.
This was because she knew that her strength was not Xiao Chen’s opponent. If Xiao Chen encountered an enemy that even he couldn’t deal with, then she wouldn’t be of any use. She would only become a burden to Xiao Chen. It was better to stay and command Zhu Meitang’s assassin group. It was more valuable.
“Xiao Chen, why aren’t you back yet?
No!
I can’t wait any longer, I have to find Xiao Chen! ”
After waiting for another half an incense stick of incense, Zhu Qingmei couldn’t stand the torment in her heart. She hinted to the ace beautiful assassin next to her, indicating that the ace beautiful assassin would command the ambush. She then flashed out of the bamboo forest and flew out of the mountain path.
“Eh?
Qingyi?
It’s Qingyi!
Why did she come out? ”
However, Zhu Qingmei hadn’t taken a few steps when she suddenly heard light footsteps coming from behind her. She suddenly stopped and turned around to look. She saw a beautiful figure running quickly towards her. After looking carefully, she realized that it was Su Qingyi. She couldn’t help but feel puzzled and then worried.
“Qingyi!”
Zhu Qingmei didn’t hesitate. She called out softly and quickly greeted Su Qingyi. Soon, she held Su Qingyi’s hand and said with concern, “Qingyi, why don’t you stay in the house?
It’s dangerous outside! ”
Su Qingyi found Zhu Qingmei and the fear in her heart was greatly removed. She softly replied, “Sister Mei, Qingyi is worried about you and Brother Xiao. Eh?
Where is Big Brother Xiao? ”
“Xiao Chen went outside the bamboo forest to investigate the enemy’s situation. He has been gone for almost an hour and has not returned yet. I was worried about him and was about to go look for him, but you came …” When Zhu Qingmei heard Su Qingyi mention Xiao Chen, her expression became extremely worried.
“Ah?
Sister Mei, you command everyone here. Qingyi, go find Xiao Chen! ”
When Su Qingyi heard that Xiao Chen was going on an adventure alone, she was shocked. She told Zhu Qingmei something and immediately rushed out of the mountain path.
“Qing Yi!
Stop right there!
It’s too dangerous for you to go!
Let me go instead! ”
Zhu Qingmei was shocked by Su Qingyi’s actions. She shouted at the impulsive Su Qingyi and quickly caught up to Su Qingyi. She grabbed Su Qingyi.
“Sister Mei, quickly let go. Xiao Chen might be in danger. Qingyi is going to save him!”
Su Qingyi was pulled back by Zhu Qingmei. Her heart was burning with anxiety. She was very worried about Xiao Chen. She was afraid that something had happened to Xiao Chen. If something happened to Xiao Chen, what should she do?
“Nonsense!
Qingyi, calm down!
Am I not worried about Xiao Chen? ”
Zhu Qingmei saw that Su Qingyi was about to lose control of her emotions. She immediately shouted. Seeing that Su Qingyi was stunned, her tone softened. “You can go, but you must go with me. Otherwise, if you get lost and Xiao Chen comes back, Xiao Chen will blame me!”
“That’s great!
Sister Mei, let’s go! “Su Qingyi’s heart was relieved. She pulled Zhu Qingmei and was about to leave.
At this time — —
Something strange happened!
“Xiu, xiu, xiu!”
Countless figures rushed towards Su Qingyi and Zhu Qingmei from the direction that Su Qingyi came from. Although the sound of so many people running was very soft and mixed with the sound of the rain, Su Qingyi and Zhu Qingmei noticed it. They couldn’t help but turn their heads to look.
“Enemy?!
Qingyi, hurry and hide! ”
Zhu Qingmei was strong, and her eyesight was better than Su Qingyi’s. She quickly noticed that many figures appeared a few dozen feet away. Her first thought was that the enemy was here, and the enemy was outflanking them from behind. She was shocked and pulled Su Qingyi into the bamboo forest at the side.
As expected!
Zhu Qingmei didn’t guess wrong. The figures she discovered were indeed their enemy, the vanguard of Mo Kuitang and Yu Gou Tang’s two thousand assassins.
“Stop!”
Yu Xiaogou and Mo Dakui ran at the front of the team. Their strength had reached the first stage of the Purple Image Realm. Their eyesight was amazing, and their perception was not bad. Since Zhu Qingmei could discover their figures, they naturally also discovered Zhu Qingmei and Su Qingyi’s figures. Thus, they made a hand gesture and shouted, signaling their subordinates to stop running.
Mo Dakui glanced at Yu Xiaogou beside him and teased, “Brother, isn’t that the beauty Zhu?
She hid when she saw us, hehe! ”
“Isn’t that so. Maybe the beauty Zhu is shy when she sees us?
The little beauty with her seems to be quite pretty. Brother, we’re in luck!
Haha! ”
Yu Xiaogou chimed in. His pair of old eyes emitted a greedy green light. They were so far away, and it was even at night, but he could see Su Qingyi’s appearance clearly. He was indeed a pervert among perverts.
Mo Dakui and Yu Xiaogou still covered their faces, as though they couldn’t be seen. Their identities had to be kept a secret. If they let Xiao Chen escape and their identities were exposed, the Sha family’s patriarch might know that they had assassinated Xiao Chen. By then, it would be embarrassing for them.
However, it was a little strange. Although Mo Dakui and Yu Xiaogou’s strength was not bad, it was nothing compared to Xiao Chen. Why were they so confident that they could kill Xiao Chen and take down Zhu Qingmei?
Could it be that they had something to rely on?
That should be it. Otherwise, there was no way to explain how they could be so bold. Although they had four times the number of Zhu Meitang’s subordinates and their strength was not bad, in the face of absolute strength, those useless soldiers and crab generals were nothing.
“Everyone, listen up!
Enter the bamboo forest on both sides and prepare to attack! “Mo Dakui suddenly stopped smiling and gave the order coldly.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
More than two thousand assassins heard Mo Dakui’s order and rushed into the bamboo forest, choosing the best terrain to hide. Their sharp eyes looked forward, trying their best to find Zhu Meitang’s men in the dark bamboo forest so that they could launch a fatal attack at any time.
Zhu Meitang’s hundreds of beautiful assassins also noticed the arrival of the enemy. They realized that the enemy outnumbered them by several times. Although they were a little nervous, they weren’t afraid. They were just waiting for their hall master to give the order to launch a fatal attack on the invaders.
The bamboo forest was a place where Zhu Meitang’s beautiful assassins frequented. They were very familiar with the bamboo forest and could use it for concealment, defense, and even offense.
The bamboo forest was the assassins’ advantage. Even though the enemy outnumbered them by several times, they were still not satisfied.
Both sides were in a stalemate!
“Who are these invaders?
Are they Yu Gou Tang’s assassins?
But does Yu Gou Tang have such assassins? ”
Zhu Qingmei pulled Su Qingyi and hid behind a dense bamboo forest. Her gaze was like lightning as she stared closely at the bamboo forest in front of them that could not be seen. She wondered who the enemy was.
Other than worry, Su Qingyi did not have a trace of fear. She was mentally strong to begin with, and after experiencing the calamity of Xiao Chen and the Su family last time, she had become even braver. She saw Zhu Qingmei’s expression change continuously and said softly, “Sister Mei, do we have the confidence to deal with so many enemies?”
“Qingyi, I sense that the enemy’s strongest person does not surpass the Purple Image Realm, and there won’t be more than three. Even though the enemy has more people, the bamboo forest is our advantage. We still have the power to fight. Xiao Chen is the key to this battle. As long as Xiao Chen returns safely, our chances of victory should be more than sixty percent.”
Zhu Qingmei lived up to her title as the queen of assassins. Her perception and analytical abilities were so strong. In just a short while, she had clearly analyzed and considered the difference in strength between the two sides, the advantages of both sides, and the key to victory. She had considered everything.
