Hey, you are reborn too?

Hu Yong leaned to the side, his eyes fierce, and he chopped down into the air with his hand.

"You guys, follow Xie Yongwei," Hu Yong's fingers trembled and his voice was rough. "When she walks to a secluded place, go and tear the tendons of her hands!"

Xie Yongwei, even if you are a skilled doctor, you can save others, but you can't save your hands. If your hands are crippled, your acupuncture skills that you are so proud of will also be gone. Humph, let's see how long you can be so arrogant!

"Yes, Lord Hu," the leading black-clad man bowed, but showed no intention of leaving. "However, Xie Yongwei is the legitimate daughter of General Xie, and General Xie alone controls the defense of the capital. It is curfew time now, and some of the general's men come to patrol from time to time, so it is difficult for us to succeed."

"What do you mean?" Hu Yong rubbed his chin, narrowed his eyes, revealed a hint of ferocity, and sneered, "How dare you disobey orders? It was not my request to attack Xie Yongwei, but your master's order for me to convey it."

Hu Yong closed his eyes slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and leaned towards the door. His voice became softer: "I know this mission is not that easy, and I know you have many concerns in your hearts, but you have to take action so that I can give an explanation to your master. In fact, if you work hard to complete this mission, I might be able to say a few good words for you in front of your master."

Hu Yong paused, a smile on his face: "But my brother, you are not even willing to complete this task, which makes it difficult for me to report to your master. Don't you think so?"

"Yes, Master Hu is right," the man in black bowed his head deeply and made a gesture of apology, "I dare not delay the master's mission, I will do it now!"

"However," Hu Yong twisted his beard, looking calm and smiling, "you don't have to panic too much. The people patrolling the capital tonight will not stop you from completing your mission."

"Oh, may I ask why Lord Hu is so sure?"

"Well, you asked me why." Hu Yong's hand twisting his beard froze for a moment, and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes. "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

The man in black leaned forward again and said in a somewhat gentle voice, "I was rude just now and my words offended Lord Hu. I hope Lord Hu doesn't mind."

"Hey," Hu Yong waved his hand, and his face regained the mask of benevolence, "What are you talking about? We are all brothers, so of course I don't mind."

"That's great," the man in black said, still with a hint of the chill of an early spring night, "I also ask Sir Hu not to mention our decision to shirk our mission in front of the master."

"That's natural."

"I would like to thank Lord Hu on behalf of the brothers."

After he finished speaking, he gestured to the back and jumped out of Jimin Hall. The men in black behind him understood, bowed and saluted, jumped over the wall, followed the leader, and ran towards Xie Yongwei's carriage.

The cool breeze of the early spring night took the opportunity to sneak in through the gap when the car curtains fluttered slightly, and rushed through the car.

"A-choo!" Xie Yongwei sneezed in the cold wind. She sniffed, pulled up her yellow cape, and held the stove tightly in her hands. Because the distance from Jishitang to the general's mansion was not far, Xie Yongwei, in the spirit of frugality, did not let Chunmei light the charcoal basin in the carriage. She believed that she had practiced martial arts and used herbs to regulate her body over the years, so she should be able to withstand this cold wind. At this moment, she was shivering with cold, and she felt a little regretful.

It was probably a late spring cold snap, and although the temperature had slightly risen, it froze again quickly. The biting cold wind, mixed with ice crystals, rushed across the pitch-black sky and earth. The howling north wind passed over the branches, making a beast-like scream, which made people's hair stand on end.

"Miss," Chunmei called softly, her voice blending in with the rumbling sound of the carriage crushing the snow. She stood beside the curtain, following the carriage as it slowly moved forward. She looked at the haze that filled the sky and couldn't help but sigh, "This fog is so thick that even with the lights on, we can't quite see where we're going."

Can't see where to go? Xie Yongwei's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she felt a little uneasy for some reason.

Xie Yongwei rubbed her fingers, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she counted with her fingers, and suddenly felt something was wrong. From the time the carriage set out from Jishitang, it had been about half an hour. Normally, it would take less than half an hour to get back to the General's Mansion from Jishitang, so why was it so abnormal today?

Xie Yongwei's breath was choked, and she paused for a moment before exhaling white air softly. Maybe it was delayed because of the heavy snow, so she should just relax and not worry too much.

However, thinking clearly is one thing, and actually putting it into practice is another. Xie Yongwei, who was trying to comfort herself just now, was extremely suspicious when she didn't hear the night watchman or the night patrol for a long time. Although it was curfew, it was normal not to meet pedestrians, but after walking for so long, it was impossible that she didn't see even a night watchman or a night patrol.

Could it be that they did not make any sound and passed by his carriage silently?

Logically, it shouldn't be possible. When people walk in the snow, there will always be some noise, and my ears have always been sensitive, so I should not be unable to detect even this little sound.

"Chunmei," Xie Yongwei was determined to ask Chunmei for confirmation. She held the heater, but her fingers were still cold. She heard her voice trembling, so she paused for a moment, and then continued her conversation after adjusting herself. "Did you see anyone on the street along the way?"

As soon as she said this, Xie Yongwei suddenly felt a chill down her spine. Could it be that the carriage had encountered a mysterious wall on the way back home?

"Chunmei," Xie Yongwei added hastily, "a night watchman, or someone on patrol."

"Have you seen anyone?" Chunmei's subtle voice came from the car curtain, "Hey, Miss, it seems that Chunmei really hasn't seen anyone since we came out of Jishidiang!"

"What's the matter, Miss?" Chunmei looked up at Xie Yongwei by the window, her lips curled up, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Chunmei," Xie Yongwei ignored the north wind that was carrying snowflakes, lifted the light blue veil by the window, and her face was almost solemn, "We left Jishitang and have walked for more than half an hour, but we haven't seen anyone on the road. Don't you think it's strange?"

"Besides," Xie Yongwei narrowed her eyes, looked up into space, and her voice was as deep as the night, "In the past, it only took us less than half an hour to return home from Jishitang. Why is it that today, we have walked for more than half an hour but still haven't returned to the mansion?"

"Miss," Chunmei was not a timid person. She bravely looked around and said with surprise, "I am totally unfamiliar with the scenery around here. This doesn't look like the way back home!"

After hearing what she said, Xie Yongwei also became alert. The surrounding scenery was really unfamiliar. Even though it snowed, the scenery would not change so much. Then, it could only be that the road she was walking on now did not lead to the general's mansion.

"Uncle Li," Xie Yongwei felt a little tingling on her scalp. She walked to the car curtain and shouted, "Stop the car, stop the car!"

The strange thing was that the driver, Uncle Li, seemed not to hear anything. The carriage continued to move forward slowly.
