Chapter 131 Attacked on the Road
Finally, one day, the god of fate seemed to favor them. When they passed through a dense forest, they suddenly heard a hurried cry for help. The two rushed into the forest without hesitation and found a young woman being chased by a group of vicious people. Zhan Shixuan and Lu Yi immediately used their skills to beat the evil people and successfully rescued the woman.
The woman was so grateful to Zhan Shixuan and Lu Yi for saving her life that she said she knew some important secrets about the mastermind behind the incident. It turned out that all this was a conspiracy planned by a powerful person in the court. This person had evil intentions and was ambitious. He wanted to control Zhan Shixuan by manipulating Wanyin's marriage, so as to realize his ambition to control the government.
Finally, the woman told them: "Thank you two heroes for saving me. My name is Lu Yi, and I’m a female official serving the Queen Mother." After she said this, the scene fell into dead silence.
Zhan Shixuan and Lu Yi were extremely shocked. They stared at each other with wide eyes in disbelief.
Someone was pretending to be her!
Zhan Shixuan calmed down, looked at Lu Yi beside him, and then gestured to Daqing, Xiaoqing, Jiayi and others to immediately capture the woman who claimed to be Lu Yi. Everyone understood and took action.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" The woman struggled desperately, but she was outnumbered and was soon firmly controlled by Daqing and others.
"How dare you impersonate an official appointed by the imperial court!" Zhan Shixuan shouted with his eyes wide open. His voice was like thunder, echoing in the air and making people shudder.
"I am the court lady Lu Yi! Why don't you believe me?" The woman cried miserably. While crying, she kept explaining her identity, hoping to gain the trust of Zhan Shixuan and others.
However, Zhan Shixuan was not moved by her crying. He frowned and turned to Daqing and Xiaoqing and ordered: "Search her body!" Daqing and Xiaoqing did not dare to neglect it, and quickly stepped forward and began to search the woman carefully.
After a while, they made a discovery - a token was found on the woman. Zhan Shixuan took the token and examined it carefully, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. This token was indeed similar to the real official badge, but he always felt that something was wrong...
Zhan Shixuan took the token, looked at it carefully, and his expression became more solemn.
"This is... the token of the imperial palace!"
This token was given to Lu Yi by Emperor Tiansheng, and its uniqueness made her unforgettable. Once she found it, Lu Yi subconsciously reached for her body, but as expected, she couldn't find the token that originally belonged to her.
She walked quickly forward, took the token from the woman who was being searched, and after looking at it for a moment, she asserted, "This is not mine." After that, she turned her gaze to Zhan Shixuan.
At the same time, a small figure quietly emerged from Lu Yi's sleeves. It was the caterpillar named Mao Mao. It leaned close to Lu Yi's ear and whispered, "Master, Master, I just heard from the birds in the forest that the person who chased this woman just now was actually in cahoots with her."
Hearing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but look up at the birds standing on the treetops. Because she was too nervous before, she didn't pay attention to the information conveyed by the birdsong. At this time, the birds saw her looking up and spoke again: "That's right, they have been waiting here for several days, just waiting for you to pass by here!"
Lu Yi nodded in thanks and said softly, "Thank you for telling me!"
After saying that, she rushed forward like a gust of wind, swung her right hand violently, and made a sharp knife move, accurately hitting the woman's vital point on the back of her neck. The woman groaned, her body fell limply to the ground, and she lost consciousness instantly.
Then, she turned to look at Zhan Shixuan and said in a serious tone: "This woman's behavior is strange and very suspicious. Let's tie her up first and interrogate her after we arrive in Beijing!" Zhan Shixuan nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with her judgment, and then waved her hand to signal Daqing and Xiaoqing to tie up the woman who fainted on the ground tightly.
After everything was ready, the team continued on their journey. Along the way, everyone was fully focused, not daring to relax at all, and always paying attention to the surroundings.
