Chapter 736: Chapter 518 Solution
Ye Shiqi discovered she had arrived at a small town, where she only saw an inn that had burned before, the fire had been put out, but the inn had beco a ruin!
Several people were killed by villains and lay on the ground with their faces covered!
Governnt Officials were there to investigate the case, and with such a sudden homicide in the small town, those who were timid, fearful yet curious, watched from a safe distance!
Ye Shiqi paid no attention to the outco, as she now noticed many spies lurking nearby, stealthily observing the area!
It seed she had still not escaped the dangerous environnt.
Ye Shiqi could only use space teleportation, covering ten miles in an hour, even though she didn’t have to run on her own feet, it was actually quite exhausting using spiritual power, and after traveling 50 miles, she considered relaxing a bit!
She had been teleporting for five hours since morning and should have avoided the dangerous regions, perhaps she could now finally take a mont to eat sothing, right?
Just as she was thinking this, a convoy of carts rushed along the road, encountering an obstacle ahead that blocked their path, and they looked around vigilantly!
Ye Shiqi had already first spotted the black-clothed n, their faces covered, who had jumped down from the mountains, their hands holding shiny broadswords and swords!
From the look in their eyes, one could tell they were ferocious and malevolent, definitely not ordinary mountain bandits, but assassins who had killed people!
In their gaze was a murderous intent, it wasn’t as simple as robbery!
Ye Shiqi associated these n’s actions with the people involved in the river explosions she had encountered before!
She also thought of the killers outside the inn, maybe these n were from the sa group!
Ye Shiqi… Could it be that these n had co for them?
And then this convoy had beco an incidental target?
While Ye Shiqi was lost in thought, the vigilant horse convoy, seeing a masked man about to attack, drew their swords as well!
“Horse bandits are coming, run for it!”
This group was perhaps just a regular convoy of rchants, hoping to escape was considered fortunate!
So had already clashed with the thieves, and were killed in two or three strikes!
These people were not just outwardly fierce and malevolent; they were murderous demons!
Ye Shiqi couldn’t stand by any longer, she really wanted to swear, and silver needles flew from her hand, aiming specifically at the black-clothed n!
So of the trapped people were also there, so she couldn’t ignite any explosives!
A young man was about to be struck down by a broadsword, frightened that he was going to die, but suddenly discovered that the man who had tried to hack him had fallen instead!
Without even the chance to catch his breath, he hurriedly ran faster, noticing that the remaining black-clothed n were either dead or had fainted!
If they were not dead, they were severely injured!
One of the leaders realized that he seed to have been hit by a Hidden Weapon and saw his subordinates dying without a clear reason!
Startled, he thought of fleeing!
But he had only taken a few steps before he, too, fell to the ground!
Those who had been trapped, having only lost a few people at the beginning, later managed to save their lives without further incidents!
They left the place quickly!
From their words, Ye Shiqi knew that they were a food convoy, transporting only a few carts of provisions!
The defensive capabilities of these people were not strong; they were lucky not to have all been killed, while the murderers had died!
Without concerning themselves with whether soone would investigate, they prioritized saving their own lives, hurrying to their destination for delivery.
The mountain bandits had killed a horse or two, so they couldn’t use horses to transport all their goods, they had to pull the carts themselves and move quickly!
Ye Shiqi followed this group of people, continuously teleporting!
This transfer was very strenuous and consud a great deal of spiritual power, constantly drinking water from the space to replenish energy, as well as consuming food from the space.
These people also needed rest, and they dared not rest in the wilderness; each ti they lodged, they sought out an inn in a village or a town.
These monts of rest also gave Ye Shiqi ti to rest, and she later realized that their chosen route was the sa as hers.
Therefore, she decided to forego the use of spiritual power to transfer, staying inside the space at night, and during the day, she stayed in the space too, but selectively transferred within the cargo of this group of people, which saved her a great deal of spiritual power!
This approach had its pros and cons, as in the event of a sneak attack or robbery, she could be carried away along with the cargo.
Ye Shiqi remained vigilant and did not hide deep within the cargo, ready to escape at any mont!
However, after several days of long travel, they were at the last two checkpoints before the border, in a small town!
This small town was bustling, with Care and those under Care’s protection all doing business here!
The mbers of the trade convoy delivering the goods also brought their food supplies here to complete their delivery, effectively finishing their mission!
Throughout these days, Ye Shiqi had not noticed any other followers or dangerous characters!
She did not know if she would encounter dangerous people here beyond the border.
They had now entered the area protected by General Ye Liang!
For safety’s sake, Ye Shiqi decided not to bring out the people in her space just yet!
She wanted to observe the area and investigate whether there were any spies or espionage agents.
She wished to learn whether the Ye Family Army was benevolent in this place or committed many evil deeds.
Ye Shiqi, after all, would not rashly reveal her identity when dealing with strangers!
She wanted to investigate covertly, but now, being so young, she would be suspected wherever she went.
And in this place, she was a stranger!
Ye Shiqi believed the best place to overhear tidbits of news would be the tavern!
She entered the tavern and did not reveal herself, sitting in a corner nearby the shopkeeper, observing every move within the tavern.
Listening to the discussions here, she discovered sothing—the tavern was owned by the Tang Family!
Ye Shiqi found this very interesting, but she did not have a Tang Family jade pendant; the one she had previously prepared had already been returned to Tang Shunyan.
Knowing this place belonged to the Tang Family, she felt sowhat at ease!
As she listened to other people’s discussions, she didn’t hear any news about the Ye family, but she did hear about sothing quite important!
The neighboring country had comrcial dealings with the region outside the border, and there were instances of horse bandit raids.
However, recently, a tribe from the neighboring country had a group arrive. They were intermarrying into the wealthy Landlord families here.
These few days, the people from the neighboring country were transporting the bridal dowry, staying in a nearby inn, and they were active around the town with the pretext of delivering the dowry!
So said that the union of these two families must be hiding so conspiracy.
Others conjectured that the barbarians from the neighboring country coveted the rich lands and beautiful won here!
There were rumors that one of the daughters of a poor man, who was very beautiful, caught the eye of one of the barbarians who had co here for business.
He proposed marriage to this Lady!
Whether the Lady was smitten with the barbarian or her father saw potential in him, or perhaps it was a collaboration and the marriage was imperative, was unknown.
Ye Shiqi, intrigued by this news, wanted to et this barbarian.
What kind of manoeuvres could this barbarian deploy to conduct cross-border business and even more so within the territory controlled by the Ye Family Army? These people were no ordinary folk!
