Chapter 6, Enemies on a Narrow Path

Send someone to carefully search for a woman with a dark complexion, and be sure to bring her back to me! I want to see a living person! I want to see just how capable this woman really is

However, just as the bright flames flickered, before a few of them could step forward to engage in conversation, the person standing between Zhang Sheng and the square-faced man suddenly narrowed his eyes. His exceptionally handsome face, due to the frowning gesture, elevated the previously apparent three parts of dominance to at least seven parts.

Is it her

Just as she was enthusiastically starting a fire in the yard, skewering the cleaned wild rabbit and mountain chicken on branches to roast over the flames, an unusual sound reached her keen ears. Under the cool night sky, despite the crackling of the firewood, it did not affect her superhuman hearing. Her already dark face, resembling the bottom of a pot, immediately turned into a long face, and her pair of eyes narrowed into a thin slit in displeasure. However, the action of roasting the meat did not stop; she continued to turn the skewered meat on the branches at a steady pace. Although the firewood crackled, it still did not disturb her extraordinary hearing. Her already dark face, resembling the bottom of a pot, immediately turned into a long face, and her pair of eyes narrowed into a thin slit in displeasure. However, the action of roasting the meat did not stop; she continued to turn the skewered meat on the branches at a steady pace.

The person he had secretly sent Xuan Ye to look for actually ended up here

However, these matters seemed to have not aroused much concern from Ye Sha. Although the earthen house was simple and old, it finally provided her with a quiet place to reside.

Li's face was extremely unattractive, and the clenched teeth almost transformed his square face into a diamond shape. His tone, filled with anger, clearly carried a sense of hatred, making it evident that he had no intention of letting go of the person who had beaten him up.

Before he could finish speaking cautiously, he was interrupted by a cold and authoritative voice

Mysterious Night

The man with a square face is named Li Sheng. He sensed a cold air subtly emanating from beside him. He and Zhang Sheng simultaneously turned their gazes towards their master's direction, which instantly revealed expressions of surprise and, of course, anger on both their faces

I never expected that the person I had been searching for was hiding here

No wonder even the most widely connected news network, Xuan Ye, could not find him; it turns out he was hiding in this place. It should be noted that if it were not for a previous stroke of luck that led him to specifically seek this location, he would have had no idea that there were people living in this perilous terrain.

"Sir, there is a household over there. Why not borrow a night's stay tonight?" A man with a rather handsome appearance led the horse ahead, while vigilantly observing the surrounding terrain and speaking respectfully.

Three people arrived at the front of the earthen house, where the aroma of meat wafted through the air. The travelers, who had journeyed through the night, could not help but feel a flicker of surprise in their eyes. The scene before them was even more enticing, making their stomachs rumble like frogs after a day of hunger

After eating corn for more than half a month, a certain woman, rarely diligent, went up the mountain and caught two wild rabbits and a mountain chicken, preparing to treat her stomach, which was tinged with the sourness of corn, well in the evening

Yes

Upon hearing the master's command, the man named Zhang Sheng immediately took the reins into his own hands and walked to a nearby tree to tie up the horse.

The residents here have mostly moved elsewhere. When she arrived, a couple was preparing to relocate, so she purchased the house for a modest sum. The original owner, seeing that she was a single woman intending to live in this mountainous area, kindly left her a considerable amount of grain and also left the corn in the fields that had not yet been harvested.

A subordinate is present. A shadow silently appeared before the cold man, kneeling respectfully on one knee. The presence was so subtle that it was impossible to sense the person's aura, as if it had merged with the shadow on the ground, making it indistinguishable which was the true form and which was the shadow

Thus, Yasha basically spent her days from morning till night gnawing on corn, with boiled, roasted, and stir-fried varieties being served in rotation every day. There was no other choice; for someone like her, who had once lived a life of luxury where everything was handed to her, being able to cook corn and eat it was already quite a challenge.

Mingming sensed that the master was already angry, yet why were they not punished?

As for the place she currently resides, she is uncertain how long she can stay there. Not only is it desolate, but it is also surrounded by perilous mountains on all sides. She now treats it as a getaway in the countryside to relax her mind. The conditions may be subpar, but at least there is a shelter to shield her from the wind and rain, which is certainly better than camping in a tent.

Despite their curiosity, the two individuals, aware of their unique injuries, had the self-awareness to know that their current appearance would certainly not be favored by their master. Therefore, they did not dare to raise their heads to observe. In unison, they stood up, bowed their heads, and respectfully withdrew.

This king does not believe that one cannot find the person behind the scenes

Do you still dare to run away with my jade pendant? I will search three feet underground to find you!

The dispatched shadow guards have not reported back recently, and it seems that no further actions can be taken during this period. While the lack of progress is minor, alarming the enemy is a major concern

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye

Such a desolate and perilous place is naturally beyond imagination

Yasha, with a dark expression, sat on a stone outside the courtyard, her legs spread apart, revealing the undergarment beneath, lacking any semblance of feminine grace or decorum. With her slender hand, she vigorously shook the fan in one hand while taking large bites of the roasted corn cob in the other.

She did not sell her previous house, but instead had Xiao Qing stay there, thinking that after all, it was her first property. Although it may not be worth much, it holds some sentimental value. Perhaps one day she could return to live there, avoiding the expense of staying in an inn

"No problem, go take a look." The man, with a stern expression, wore a black brocade robe. After speaking, his thin lips returned to a resolute straight line. Under the moonlight, even the shadow beneath his feet exuded his dominance. Even in this remote and desolate place, even under this hazy moonlight, his proud and cold demeanor, along with his innate nobility, could not be concealed.

That black woman is surprisingly formidable, having beaten his two personal guards into such a state, truly not to be underestimated

Their actions are so secretive; what if their identities are exposed and it brings danger to the prince? The prince has not fully recovered for long, and if it were not for the special circumstances, the emperor would certainly not allow the prince to come in person

Compared to the previous small courtyard in the suburbs, her current residence is even more dilapidated and shabby. The earthen walls are uneven and pockmarked, remnants of the walls are visible everywhere, and the cobwebs in the corners have accumulated layer upon layer. The tiles at the eaves are uneven, with the possibility of falling and shattering at any moment

If individuals related to the mining industry reside here, it would be considered a significant gain. Even if they do not, it would still be an opportunity to explore the local situation. The residents of this mountainous area not only possess a profound understanding of the terrain, but they are also somewhat aware of any anomalies that may occur.

In the tranquil chamber, the light of the night pearl illuminated every corner, casting a bright white glow that felt devoid of warmth. A man sat expressionless at the edge of the bed, his dark eyes unfathomable, glinting with a cold sheen. His long fingers, resting on the edge of the bed, suddenly tightened, the back of his hands pale and the knuckles prominent, yet this did not diminish the beauty and cleanliness of those hands in the slightest

Grandfather, it is this woman!

"Zhang Sheng, this seems inappropriate, what if..." The man with a somewhat square face frowned disapprovingly upon hearing his companion's words.
