Chapter 322: Chapter 300: The Miao King Returns, Unleashing His Ultimate Move_3
Meng Qianqian: The Prime Minister’s skill at manipulating people is truly masterful. This Luo San is completely impervious to provocations and schemes.
Lu Yuan chuckled, "Did you know I sent another message back to the Capital City?"
Luo San was entirely indifferent.
Lu Yuan stared directly at Luo San, "I told your master that Xun Yu’s demise was caused by you."
Luo San’s expression finally showed a fleeting change.
Meng Qianqian rubbed her chin suspiciously, "Oh, a reaction? So it does get to him."
Luo San clenched his fists, "I have no reason to harm Xun Yu. He won’t believe it."
Meng Qianqian questioned playfully, "But why do you seem so afraid that he might believe it?"
Luo San roared furiously, "I didn’t! He won’t believe!"
Meng Qianqian widened her eyes, "Such a big reaction?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Lu Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Luo San."
Luo San interrupted Lu Yuan sharply, "Don’t you dare make things up!"
Lu Yuan curled his lips into a sly smile, "I was just going to remind you—your killers have arrived."
Meng Qianqian swiftly raised her arm, shielding Lu Yuan behind her. She then drew the Brocade Spring Saber and stood guard at the cave entrance.
Lu Yuan released Chang Kuan from his acupoint immobilization and woke him up, "Assassins are coming for us. If you don’t want the Princess to die, take her and leave immediately."
Chang Kuan drew his blade, pointing it at Lu Yuan before turning to look at Meng Qianqian at the cave entrance, "Lu Young Madam..."
Meng Qianqian spoke sternly, "He’s right. Take the Princess and go first!"
Chang Kuan’s mission was to protect the Princess; the safety of others always came second to hers.
"My apologies, Lu Young Madam."
Chang Kuan carried the still-sleeping Princess Wanping and quickly exited the cave.
Moments later, two assassins clad in Imperial Guard uniforms arrived at the cave entrance.
Meng Qianqian charged forward and engaged the two in intense combat.
Though the two wore heavy armor and helmets that obscured their faces, Luo San, having spent years at the Prime Minister’s Mansion, could recognize their fighting styles instantly.
One was Xun Liu, the other Shangguan Ling.
Lu Yuan commanded, "Use the Gu on them!"
"Oh, right! I almost forgot—I have the Gu!"
Meng Qianqian reached into her waist pouch, pulled out two Poison Bottles, and hurled them toward the two assassins.
The duo exchanged glances and swiftly evaded the Poison Bottles.
"You may dodge now, but you can’t dodge forever! I’ve got more where those came from!"
Meng Qianqian pulled out two more Poison Bottles, "Husband, you all leave first! I’ll hold them off!"
Lu Yuan nodded, grabbing the tightly bound Luo San, then slashed through his ropes with a saber, "Let’s go."
Luo San followed Lu Yuan out of the cave.
As soon as the two left, the three stopped fighting.
"Shangguan Ling" removed his helmet, "It’s so hot."
It was Yu Zichuan.
"Xun Liu" also took off his helmet—it was Ji Li.
While everyone assumed Ji Li acted impulsively when confronting Xun Liu and Shangguan Ling, in reality, he was carefully observing their martial arts techniques.
Yu Zichuan understood Shangguan Ling well, so Ji Li took to impersonating Xun Liu.
Ji Li flipped open his folding fan and fanned himself, "Little Yin Hu, how was my performance as the Commander Guard?"
Meng Qianqian pointed a finger, "Just so-so. Worth two copper coins."
Ji Li exploded, "Seriously? After all the effort I put into acting, just two copper coins? Aren’t you being way too stingy?!"
Meng Qianqian withdrew one finger, "One."
Ji Li protested, "Fine! Two it is! No takebacks!"

Lu Yuan and Luo San only stopped after escaping two li into the distance.
Luo San leaned against a tree trunk, panting heavily.
Lu Yuan raised a brow, "Now will you believe it?"
Luo San collapsed to the ground, resting against the tree, "Lu Yuan, I’ll admit your plan is clever, but did you forget what I do? Trying to disguise yourself in front of me is like teaching a carpenter how to saw wood."
Lu Yuan frowned, "Meng Xiaojiu."
The stealthily trailing Meng Qianqian emerged innocently from behind another tree, blinking, "Uh, I didn’t use enough sedative—he’s too clear-headed."
"Hahahaha... hahaha... hahahahaha..."
Luo San threw his head back and laughed heartily, "I knew it... He wouldn’t send anyone to kill me... He would never abandon me... Lu Yuan, you’ve lost!"
Just as he finished speaking, a terrifying murderous aura suddenly arose from the eastern woods.
The moon hung dark, the wind howled coldly, shadows of trees swayed ominously.
The Miao King exaggeratedly swung his arms and dashed forward, making "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" noises.
"Come on! Catch me if you can!"
Behind him was a massive group of Hidden Guards from the Capital City who had chased him all the way here from the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Meng Qianqian only caught a fleeting glimpse of a figure zipping past her.
The Miao King ran right by but then curiously paused, "Hmm?" He zipped backward, "Granddaughter-in-law! It’s you?"
Meng Qianqian stared in shock, "Grandfather?"
The Miao King hollered, "Ah! Murderers! Granddaughter-in-law, let’s run together!"
Meng Qianqian glanced behind him to see a dark, surging tide of Hidden Guards, resembling a menacing flood.
She shivered, and as she ran alongside him, she asked nervously:
"Grandfather, what did you do to attract so many killers? Did you dig up someone’s ancestral grave?"
The Miao King answered nonchalantly, "Oh yes, I dug up Xun the Old Scoundrel’s ancestral grave!"
