Joy of Life: Starting by clinging to the eldest princess's coattails!

Chapter 136 Thoroughly Clean Up Suzhou

In the shadows surrounding Xie Cai's house.

Shuying and Zhufeng lurked in the shadows at the base of the wall, watching the courtyard gate.

Shuying frowned and remained silent.

Her Highness the Eldest Princess said that once the woman who wanted to poison them is found, the Xie family will be dealt with as well.

Zhu Feng lowered his voice and asked, "They've all gone back. Should we make our move now?"

Just as Shuying was about to speak, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure appearing outside Xie Cai's courtyard.

She immediately raised her hand and pressed down on Zhu Feng's arm.

The two exchanged a glance.

Shuying lowered her voice: "Could it be that the assassin who used poison had accomplices?"

Zhu Feng didn't speak, he just stared at that figure.

"Let's see what he's going to do," Shuying said.

Zhu Feng nodded.

At Xie Cai's home.

The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.

Hu Sanniang was busy at the stove, stir-frying vegetables in the pot, making a sizzling sound.

Xie Cai helped chop vegetables while her four children surrounded her. The youngest one hugged her leg and looked up at her, saying he was hungry.

Xie Cai smiled and patted the child's head: "You'll be eating soon, go sit down."

The children ran over and sat down, laughing and joking, waiting for their meal.

Hu Sanniang served the last dish and handed it to Xie Cai: "Take it out, it's ready to eat."

Xie Cai took the plate and turned to walk towards the main room.

Just as I reached the kitchen door, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow falling over the courtyard wall.

She turned her head instinctively.

Then I saw a middle-aged man jump down from the wall and land steadily in the yard.

Xie Cai reacted extremely quickly.

She raised her hand and threw the plate of food in her hand at the man's face.

"Splash!"

The hot food and soup were poured all over the man's face and body.

The person screamed in pain from the burn, covering their face and taking two steps back.

Taking advantage of the moment, Xie Cai turned around and rushed into the main room, grabbed a few children, pushed them into the inner room, and rushed in herself.

"Mother! Come in quickly!" she called out.

Hu Sanniang ran out of the kitchen and rushed into the inner room after her.

The door had just closed when the man's angry roar came from outside.

Xie Cai and Hu Sanniang were in a panic, moving tables, chairs, and benches to block the door.

The four children huddled in the corner, trembling, their innocent faces filled with fear.

The youngest one had her mouth covered by her older sister, so she dared not cry out.

"Cai'er, what—what should we do?" Hu Sanniang's voice trembled, her face filled with terror.

Xie Cai immediately said to her mother and several children, "Shout, shout for help loudly—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Bang!"

A loud bang.

The door, along with the tables and chairs blocking it, flew out completely.

Xie Cai and Hu Sanniang were also thrown by that tremendous force, crashing heavily against the wall before falling down.

A middle-aged man, looking disheveled, stood at the door.

His face was scalded red and blistered, and there were still vegetable leaves on his clothes. He smelled of greasy hot food.

He stared at Xie Cai, who had fallen to the ground, his eyes filled with malice.

"You bitch, I'll kill you!"

He strode towards Xie Cai.

The four children screamed in fright when they saw this.

Xie Cai struggled to get up, but the pain in her chest was so severe that she couldn't move at all.

The man was about to rush in front of her.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp whistling sound came from behind the man.

Darba suddenly turned his head.

An arrow shot out and struck him squarely in the back.

The arrow pierced the skin, but only penetrated less than an inch before it could go any further.

Darba felt a stinging pain from behind and turned around angrily.

Two women were standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

One of them held a long sword, which was already drawn.

The other hand held a bow, had already nocked an arrow, and aimed the arrow at his face.

"It really is you." Shuying stared at him, her voice deepening, "Eighth-rank Horizontal Strength, Xihudarba."

She and Zhu Feng were still injured and wouldn't fare well against Darba.

Darba didn't say anything.

With a leap, he charged towards the two like a wild beast.

Let go of the wind.

The arrow was shot out, aiming straight for Darba's face.

Darba raised his hand to block.

An arrow pierced his forearm, but he seemed not to feel the pain and charged forward without slowing down, reaching the two men in the blink of an eye.

Shuying swung her sword and thrust it towards his throat.

Darba dodged to the side and punched her in the chest.

Shuying was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall across the street, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and sliding to the ground.

Before Zhu Feng could even fire her third arrow, Darba was already in front of her.

One punch.

Zhu Feng was also sent flying backward, crashing into the wall and landing on the ground, spitting blood.

Many neighbors had already peeked out, but upon seeing this, they were so frightened that they shrank back inside.

-

Some people took off running to report it to the authorities.

Lakeside Cottage.

Wu Feng was talking to Li Yunrui.

Mei-gu walked in hurriedly, her face showing anxiety.

"Your Highness, Lord Xiao Wu, something has happened!"

Li Yunrui looked up: "What's wrong?"

Mei Gu bowed and said, "Darba, an eighth-rank master of the Western Hu martial arts, has appeared at Xie Cai's house."

Wu Feng's eyes narrowed.

Li Yunrui frowned: "What happened?"

Chunmei explained from the side, "Your Highness, the woman we captured today is Qiu Wuhua, a famous poison expert from Xihu. Darba is her husband."

"At the eighth level of the Horizontal Cultivation Realm, his strength should not be underestimated." Wu Feng stood up. "Your Highness, I'll go take a look."

Li Yunrui nodded, her voice gentle: "Go ahead."

Wu Feng picked up the Embroidered Spring Blade by the door, used the Flying Floss Light Smoke Skill, and flashed out of the courtyard.

After he walked away, Li Yunrui looked at Aunt Mei.

"Are the Xie family members still alive?"

Mei Gu immediately replied, "Your Highness, just as Shuying and Zhufeng were about to make their move, that Darba broke into Xie Cai's house."

Li Yunrui leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and spoke softly.

"Ugh—I'm really unhappy—"

Xie Caijia.

Many constables lay on the ground outside the gate, seriously injured.

Xie Cai lay on the ground, blood still gushing from her mouth.

She struggled to lift her head and look at the four children in the corner.

The four children huddled together, the youngest of whom could no longer cry, but was trembling.

Xie Cai was sent flying, crashed into the wall, and fell down.

She lay on the ground, coughing up blood several times, her eyes beginning to glaze over.

Just then.

A figure descended from the sky.

Before Darba could react, a cold glint flashed before his eyes.

"Whoosh!"

His right arm was severed at the shoulder, flew a long distance, and landed on the ground.

"ah!!!"

Darba let out a piercing scream, clutching his severed arm as blood gushed out.

Before he could finish yelling, another stab landed.

"Whoosh!"

His left leg was severed at the knee.

Darba lost his balance and fell to the ground, his screams echoing throughout the street.

Wu Feng sheathed his sword, not even glancing at him, and turned to walk towards Shuying and Zhufeng.

The two men lay against the wall, covered in blood and pale-faced.

He crouched down and reached out to feel the necks of the two men.

still alive.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cough cough cough————"

The sound of coughing up blood came from behind me.

Wu Feng turned his head.

Xie Cai lay on the ground, blood gushing from her mouth, staining the ground red.

Four children ran out from the corner, crying, and ran to her side.

"Auntie! Auntie!"

"Auntie, get up!"

The youngest child shook her arm, crying uncontrollably.

Xie Cai struggled to lift her head, looking at Wu Feng with pleading eyes.

He opened his mouth.

"Please—please, sir—save—save these—children—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

He then fainted.

"aunt!!!"

The four children burst into tears.

Wu Feng stood there, watching the children clinging to Xie Cai and crying, then looked towards the main house entrance.

Hu Sanniang, who was also seriously injured, fainted there.

More and more people gathered on the street, and the sound of discussion grew louder.

Wu Feng looked at the knife in his hand, and a murderous intent burst forth from his body.

"Lord Wu." At this moment, Xie Yu finally arrived. He was also extremely shocked to see people lying all over the ground and Badar, who had lost an arm and a leg.

"Xie Yu, have Xu Jingyuan and Jiang Fuhai come to see me. I'm going to thoroughly clean up Suzhou!" Wu Feng's words were filled with chilling killing intent, making Xie Yu feel a coldness.
