The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Chapter 163: Fearful Xie Ningzhi

In the wilderness, Li Shixian and Baoxiang fought for the second time, but there was no exciting scene. Instead, Baoxiang was suppressed by Li Shixian's powerful inner strength and could not fight back.

Baoxiang was ultimately defeated and had his four limbs broken by Li Shixian, crippling his martial arts. He lay on the ground like a lamb to be slaughtered, unable to put up any resistance.

"I'll only give you three seconds to tell me how you found out my identity."

Looking at Li Shixian's murderous gaze, Baoxiang swallowed his saliva subconsciously, his expression a little dazed for a moment.

"one......"

Li Shixian's face was as gloomy as water, and he counted without any emotion. At the same time, the pressure around him became more fierce.

"two……"

Upon hearing this, Bao Xiang's face turned even paler. Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but could hardly say a word.

"three......"

As soon as Li Shixian finished speaking, Baoxiang could no longer bear the oppression, his psychological defenses finally collapsed and he begged for mercy.

He said in a trembling voice: "Yes... yes, Lou... how... is it possible?"

"What is it?" Li Shixian asked repeatedly.

When she saw Bao Xiang's dilated pupils, she was startled and hurriedly leaned over to check his pulse. The moment she touched his hand, she was shocked to find that he was no longer alive.

A trace of suspicion flashed across Li Shixian's eyes, but he immediately regained his coolness and said, "This doesn't look like taking poison. Could there be another expert around here?"

With her doubts unanswered, Li Shixian immediately stood up and threw a few more copper coins into the air, but the only response she got in the wilderness was silence.

"Did I guess wrong?"

Li Shixian squatted down again with a suspicious look on his face and carefully examined Baoxiang's body.

After some searching, they found a tiny silver needle in Baoxiang's head, and the silver needle directly pierced Baoxiang's Baihui acupoint.

"Hmm! Why is there still half missing?"

Li Shixian pulled out the silver needle and stared at it for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "The opponent must be a master who can kill the enemy silently with such a tiny silver needle."

At this moment, she also realized that this matter might not be as simple as she had imagined. It seemed that things were not handled cleanly at the beginning, leaving some tails.

Thinking of this, Li Shixian did not dare to stay for long. He just glanced at Baoxiang's corpse, put away the Qingping Sword not far away, and turned to leave.

Due to the previous fight between the two men, the horses had already been frightened. Now Li Shixian could only use his Qinggong skills to run all the way to Qinzhou.

Unexpectedly! Just after Li Shixian left, dozens of other black-clad figures took advantage of the moonlight and came to the place where the two had fought before.

"Chief! Baoxiang is dead." A man in black bowed.

"Well! Bring back all the bodies. As for this person, I will personally tell the host when he returns."

"Yes!" A group of men in black immediately leaned forward and responded.

The men in black came quickly and left just as quickly. Under the moonlight, dozens of men in black each carried a corpse and hid in the dense forest.

Li Shixian didn't know what happened next. Although she was a martial arts expert, she was a little afraid of the master who used silver needles in secret.

.......

On the Xunyang official road, a man and a woman were riding on two horses, walking slowly, as if they were enjoying the scenery along the way, without any sign of impatience.

They seemed somewhat out of place with the other people traveling on the official road. These two people were Xie Ningzhi and his maid Lian Qiao.

"Young Master! In previous years, you were reluctant to return to Xunyang. Why do you want to go back to celebrate the New Year this year?" Lian Qiao asked with a pout.

Although she was the young master's maid, she still liked to be with the young lady from the bottom of her heart.

Because the young master is getting older, there are some things that personal maids like them know very well. If the young lady had not greeted the young master so early, she would have become Xie Ningzhi's concubine long ago.

"What's wrong? Your son misses his grandfather, is that not okay?" Xie Ningzhi replied without hesitation.

"Of course!"

Lian Qiao smiled and said, "Young Master, I'm sure I'll be happy that you're thinking of me!"

Xie Ningzhi rode his horse while looking at the surrounding scenery. He did not take Lian Qiao's words to heart.

Because at this moment, he was already a little panicked, and he had not yet prepared an explanation on how to dispel his grandfather's suspicion when he returned to Xunyang.

After reviewing the past few days, Xie Ningzhi felt that the letter was a bit hasty. He should go there in person to see Xiyi and ask about her situation.

But they hadn't seen each other for three years, and he didn't know much about Xiyi. He felt that if he went there rashly, he might scare her.

So he asked Xie Shuting to deliver the letter first, to remind Xiyi while also hoping that his younger sister could lend a hand and make this happen.

Unfortunately, after a few days of thinking, Xie Ningzhi realized that the letter seemed to be a plot against Xie Shuting, so he chose to run away immediately.

But as he ran, he realized something was wrong. After all, the grandfather of the entire Xie family valued Xie Shuting very much.

If he had to choose between him and Xie Shuting, my grandfather would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.

This is something that all the younger generations of the Xie family are well aware of, but he alone forgot this point, which is also a crucial point.

Just as Xie Ningzhi was thinking, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him.

"Gee! Disperse, disperse." A man dressed in yamen runner's uniform waved a horse whip and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Xie Ningzhi and Lian Qiao quickly made way. At the same time, he glanced at the package with the word "Yi" written on the other party's horse. He was inexplicably shocked, and felt an indescribable danger signal.

Seeing Xie Ningzhi's gaze for a long time without coming back to his senses, Lian Qiao rode forward and said, "Sir! This is the post horse of the post station. There is nothing to see."

"Post...Post Horse?"

As Xie Ningzhi was pondering in silence, he suddenly felt something was wrong and said, "Lian Qiao! According to my sister's schedule, will she be back in the next few days?"

Lian Qiao pondered for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "If nothing happened on the way, according to the young lady's schedule, she should have returned yesterday."

Xie Ningzhi frowned, looked at the figure of the postman who had already gone far away, and immediately whipped his horse and said, "Go!"

Lian Qiao rode his horse in a daze and asked, "What's wrong, young master? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Why?

He knew Xie Shuting's thoughts too well. The saying "a gentleman's revenge is never too late" was of no use to her. She should take revenge immediately.

Even overnight grudges are not allowed.

He hadn't figured it out before, but when he saw the postman, he instantly felt a chill on his back. If Xie Shuting reported this to her grandfather, revenge through someone else would still be revenge.

Moreover, compared with my father and Xie Shuting's personal questioning, my grandfather's methods were much more cruel.

Seeing the two people who were originally leisurely on the official road suddenly galloping on their horses, a group of traveling merchants and farmers all cast strange looks at them.
