Chapter 286: Ghost, I hope you are well
Before Zhao Mei'er could politely refuse, Xie Dahua couldn't wait to speak first, "Aunt, we haven't seen my mother and Master for a long time, and we are really worried.
My cultivation is pretty good now, and I'm even more proficient in medicine. If we go together, we can look after each other. I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't think anyone would come specifically for me!"
"Aunt, please agree to let me go!" Xie Erhua and Xie Xiaohua also said, "We all miss my mother and Master!"
Zhao Meir couldn't help but fall into a brief contemplation after listening to the sincere words of Xie Dahua and her two sisters.
In fact, how could she not understand the deep concerns and longings in the hearts of the three sisters Xie Dahua, Xie Erhua and Xie Xiaohua?
As a result, the words of rejection that were on the tip of my tongue could not be uttered.
When Chen Liangxian learned that Xie Dahua was planning to go to the capital, his heart instantly became hung in the air, filled with worry and uneasiness.
After careful consideration and consultation with Manager Chen, they finally decided to embark on the journey to the capital together.
However, Wu Wenxiu was already two months pregnant at this time, and Manager Chen couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Wu Wenxiu gazed at Shopkeeper Chen affectionately and said softly, "My husband, please go with the young master. After all, your cultivation is much higher than theirs, and you can better protect them along the way.
Besides, if it weren't for Madam's help, how could I be where I am today? Her kindness to us must be repaid no matter what.
Only by ensuring their safety can we live a happy and fulfilling life without worries!" Although Wu Wenxiu was filled with reluctance to leave, her attitude remained resolute.
"But, my lady, you are pregnant now..." After hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen still showed some hesitation on his face.
Wu Wenxiu quickly comforted him, "My husband, don't worry about me. I have Sister Cuihua taking good care of me. Besides, there is a special medical team in Xiejia Village.
Besides, I have always been in good health, so nothing will go wrong. But you, my husband, must be extra careful out there and don't take it lightly!"
The next morning, sunlight shone through the mottled leaves onto the ground, forming patches of golden light.
Zhao Meir, Xie Dahahua, Chen Liangxian and other six people mixed into the transport team led by Xie Xiaogang and slowly set off towards the capital.
Along the way, everyone was nervous, and Zhao Meir acted extremely cautiously, fearing that her true identity would be exposed if she was not careful.
When they slowly reached the quiet and deep valley, the originally peaceful atmosphere was broken by a sudden and melodious sound of horse hooves.
The sound of hooves came from far away like rumbling thunder. The sound was so loud and the momentum was so fierce that it made people look sideways.
The horses in the transport team seemed to sense the approach of some danger, and they jumped around in fright, neighing one after another.
The guards responsible for escorting the transport team immediately became nervous. They hurriedly tried to calm the frightened horses, while quickly drawing their swords and taking a posture of being ready for battle.
Zhao Meir, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned slightly. Her keen perception allowed her to instantly realize that an extremely powerful force was approaching rapidly.
Just as everyone was holding their breath, a group of figures in black clothes appeared in the valley.
These men in black moved as fast as the wind and surrounded the transport team in the blink of an eye.
The leader was tall and straight, but what was striking was that he only had one left arm. This person was the black shadow, and this time he was sent by Concubine Yin to find Zhao Meir.
In the past few months, he and his men have searched almost the entire Nanhu County, but have never been able to capture Zhao Meir.
Seeing that the deadline was approaching, if he could not find Zhao Meir and bring her back to report, he would probably not be able to escape Concubine Yin's punishment.
The shadowy figure shouted at the transport team with a cold expression, "Everyone, dismount and be inspected! My young lady has run away from her marriage, and we must find her today, no matter what!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Meir, who had already gotten out of the carriage and hidden in the crowd, was suddenly startled.
Then she quickly calmed herself down. She was now wearing women's clothing and a skirt. As long as the shadow didn't look carefully, it might not recognize her.
So, she whispered to Xie Xiaogang, "Brother Xiaogang, tell everyone not to resist. Let him search. All of us combined are no match for him!"
When Xie Xiaogang heard this, he was shocked and quickly winked at the person next to him.
He then stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Sir, we are a merchant caravan, transporting goods here. We hope you will be careful when searching!"
The black shadow glanced at the caravan as sharply as an eagle, and his eyes finally fell on the four girls beside the carriage.
"Sir, these are the four maids of our caravan. They usually only do cleaning and cooking!" Xie Xiaogang said with an apologetic smile.
The shadow looked up and saw four pretty girls in light green clothes, which were a beautiful sight in the caravan.
The black shadow thought to himself that it seemed that the ghost was not in this caravan.
Just as he turned around and was about to lead his team away, he suddenly noticed something strange. Whose maid could have such a beautiful and elegant appearance?
The black shadow's footsteps stopped abruptly, and he turned around abruptly. Before Xie Xiaogang and others could react, the black shadow had already rushed towards Zhao Meir and the others.
Zhao Meir's heartbeat instantly accelerated, and her hands clenched tightly involuntarily.
The black shadow stood steadily in front of them, his eyes like cold lightning sweeping across the four people's faces one by one.
His gaze suddenly stopped an inch away from Zhao Meir's face, and he sneered: "Ghost, how are you?"
Zhao Meier knew she could no longer hide it, so she straightened her back and raised her head, "What do you want?"
The shadow said in a deep voice: "My master has invited you, Ghost, you'd better follow me obediently and don't make things difficult for me."
The people behind Zhao Meir gathered together and stared at the black shadow vigilantly as if facing a great enemy.
"Why do you want to take my aunt away? There are so many of us and we are not afraid of you." Xie Dahahua stepped forward.
Xiaoting and Xiaoyu also stood in front of Zhao Meir, and the guards were on full alert!
"Just you? You're really overestimating yourselves." The black shadow's face was as gloomy as water. He glanced coldly at Xie Dahua and the others and said in a deep voice, "Ghost, my patience is limited. Will you come with me?"
Before Zhao Mei'er could respond, Xiaoyu and Xiaoting stepped forward with swords drawn. "How rude of you! Why would my master go with you?"
"Get out of the way!" After the black shadow said this, his palm was as fast as thunder and slapped out straight ahead.
Xiaoting and Xiaoyu were hit hard and were sent flying several feet away. Then they collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely.
