Chapter 161 The Embroidered Thief
Lu Xiaofeng didn't understand what Jiang Fengyue was saying. He was now only thinking about the Embroidered Thief and Jiang Qingxia. This case was really tormenting him, and he regretted why he had agreed to Jin Jiuling's request.
He was also very worried about Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue. He had seen the arrogance in Ye Gucheng's eyes and could see his desire to test his sword skills, so he would definitely go to find Ximen Chuixue.
When Jiang Fengyue left the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, she didn't need to hide or disguise herself as a guard, because Jin Jiuling had instructed that if Lu Xiaofeng and Jiang Fengyue wanted to leave, the guards of the Prince's Mansion only needed to let them pass.
According to the guards at the gate, Jin Jiuling has left the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. Of course, no one has the right to ask where he is going or what he is going to do.
Jiang Fengyue followed the direction Jin Jiuling had left in, using her lightness skill to catch up quickly, no matter how early or fast Jin Jiuling left.
Jiang Fengyue quickly found the narrow alley, which was hidden between a bakery and a silk shop.
The alley was so narrow that it was barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Presumably, the two shops didn't get along when they built their houses, and neither wanted their walls to be next to the other's, which is why a narrow alley was created.
At the end of the alley is a red door; it is indeed a perfect hiding place, one that would be difficult for anyone to find.
The door was closed from the inside, so of course no one could tell whether there was anyone inside.
Jiang Fengyue, holding onto the walls on both sides, moved upwards and then lightly leaped into the courtyard behind the red gate. Entering such a place didn't require much effort.
There were two bungalows in the courtyard. The moment Jiang Fengyue landed, she heard a faint sound, a painful groan, as if she had suffered a serious injury.
Jiang Fengyue pushed open the noisy bungalow and saw two people. One of them was indeed Xue Bing. She looked like she had suffered severe internal injuries. Although there was no blood on her body, she was lying on the bed unable to move.
The other person was a very handsome man, and even the clothes he was wearing were women's attire. Most strikingly, he was wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes.
"Check-in!"
no respond.
Jiang Fengyue knew that the handsome man in front of her must be Jin Jiuling in disguise.
Judging from the time he left, Jin Jiuling had obviously only been here for a short time. Although he left earlier than Jiang Fengyue, his lightness skill was far inferior to Jiang Fengyue's.
Just as Jin Jiuling was about to kill Xue Bing, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open. He turned his head sharply and saw Jiang Fengyue's gloomy face.
Jin Jiuling was taken aback. He couldn't believe that someone could find this place so quickly, nor could he have imagined that the person would be Jiang Fengyue. When he arrived here, he had been watching his back the whole time, and he was certain that no one could be following him.
He moved swiftly, unleashing a powerful palm strike towards Jiang Fengyue. If Lu Xiaofeng were here to witness his martial arts display, he would never believe that he possessed such formidable palm power.
Jiang Fengyue activated the Mingyu Skill, and the small room instantly became filled with cold air. He gathered his inner strength in his left hand and struck out with his icy inner force.
Palm to palm, Jin Jiuling quickly realized how terrifying Jiang Fengyue was, and understood that he had no chance against her. The force of his palm strike was absorbed by Jiang Fengyue the moment they clashed.
Jin Jiuling couldn't shake off Jiang Fengyue's hand, because there was still some strength left in his hand. As long as there was any strength left, Jiang Fengyue's palm would hold him tightly.
He had never seen such a bizarre technique before.
Jiang Fengyue's palm emitted a chilling aura, and the blood on Jin Jiuling's hand had already congealed. In just a short while, Jin Jiuling would die in cold and despair.
Just then, as if he had made up his mind, Jin Jiuling used his other hand to chop hard, breaking the bones of the hand that Jiang Fengyue was holding.
That's how he managed to escape from Jiang Fengyue's grasp.
Jin Jiuling was only thinking about escaping, but Jiang Fengyue blocked the doorway. However, in this narrow and small house, the doorway was not the only exit. There was also a small paper window next to Jin Jiuling.
Ignoring the excruciating pain in his right hand, Jin Jiuling leaped into the air, attempting to escape through the paper window. Jiang Fengyue flashed forward and punched Jin Jiuling in the face, causing him to fall from mid-air in pain.
Seeing that Jin Jiuling was at his wit's end, Jiang Fengyue was about to deliver another blow to kill him on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Jin Jiuling suddenly took out a small purse from his bosom, opened it forcefully, and scattered a shower of embroidery needles from inside.
The embroidery needles were densely packed, yet weak and powerless, making them easy for Jiang Fengyue to dodge. However, Jin Jiuling's target was Xue Bing on the bed.
Jiang Fengyue sensed something was wrong and flashed in front of Xue Bing. He used his Mingyu Gong to stop the embroidery needles in front of him, and they fell to the ground one by one.
Jin Jiuling darted out the window and disappeared from sight.
Jiang Fengyue did not chase after her, because Xue Bing's current condition was not very good. Although she had not been killed, she was seriously injured. Presumably, she had resisted the person who captured her and brought her here, which was why she was now covered in injuries.
Jiang Fengyue released several acupoints on Xue Bing's body, and only then was Xue Bing able to utter a single sentence. She managed to say two words haltingly: "Thank you so much."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Bing fell into a coma. Fortunately, Jiang Fengyue was there, and no matter how serious the injury, she was able to keep him alive.
Jiang Fengyue found Lu Xiaofeng at the Snake King's place, knowing that Lu Xiaofeng would definitely come here.
Lu Xiaofeng wasn't someone who got drunk easily, but he couldn't resist drinking so much that he looked somewhat dazed.
However, when Lu Xiaofeng saw Xue Bing, who was seriously injured and unconscious, he not only lost all his drunkenness, but his eyes also turned cold. Only after checking that Xue Bing was still breathing did he barely breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Xiaofeng coldly asked, "Who did this?"
Jiang Fengyue said in a deep voice, "The Embroidered Bandit."
He didn't rush to expose Jin Jiuling's identity. Lu Xiaofeng's suspicions about the Red Shoes organization hadn't been dispelled yet, and Jin Jiuling was currently the chief steward of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. If he rashly accused him of being the Embroidered Bandit, many people probably wouldn't believe it.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Xue Bing with deep eyes again and asked, "Will she be able to wake up?"
Jiang Fengyue sighed, "She's awake, so her injuries aren't a problem. It's just that she was too frightened and under too much mental stress, which caused her to fall into a coma."
Lu Xiaofeng nodded. He had witnessed Jiang Fengyue's medical skills before; she could even cure the Snake King's long-standing ailment. Saving a critically injured and dying person was no easy task, but he believed Jiang Fengyue could do it.
