Had they fallen into a trap?

However, Xiao Zhenting and the others were vigilant in the tent for a long time and did not see any movement outside.

“What’s going on? Something’s wrong.”

The puppet master was already dead. Didn’t any experts come to settle the score with them? How did an expert protect a puppet master? Wasn’t this too irresponsible?

Xiao Zhenting frowned as he thought of something. “You guys, go and count the number of people in the camp.”

A few sacrificial soldiers left.

About fifteen minutes later, the sacrificial soldiers returned. They counted all the tents, including the patrolling soldiers. There were not ten thousand people here, but nine thousand!

Shadow Six said strangely, “That’s impossible. I’ve been here before and am sure that there are ten thousand of them. Even if some of them died in the battle with us earlier, there are definitely no more than a hundred casualties.”

Then where did the remaining thousand people and the expert who was supposed to protect the puppet master go?

“Mom, do you see the town ahead? After we pass that town, we’ll reach Pingyang Village. Pingyang Village isn’t the front line, but where the injured soldiers are. You stay in town later, and Ping’er and I will go to Pingyang Village,” Yu Wan said to Madam Jiang in the carriage.

Madam Jiang snorted. “You want to leave me behind again.”

Yu Wan smiled and held Madam Jiang’s hand. “How can I bear to leave Mom behind? Mom felt sorry for me and accompanied me all the way south. I also feel sorry for Mom too. I’m already out of confinement. It’s fine. Wait for me in town. I’ll go back to town to buy herbs every day. Besides, if you’re by my side,

I’ll be even more worried.’

Madam Jiang looked at the sky.

Yu Wan had already made up her mind. No matter how Madam Jiang threatened and tempted her, she would never bring her to such a dangerous place.

The carriage arrived at the town.

Although the flames of war had not spread here, they were still affected. The residents of town had long closed themselves to rest and the inn had also been closed. Yu Wan alighted from the carriage and raised her hand to knock on the inn’s door.

At this moment, an ice-cold arrow shot at Yu Wan without warning, as if it wanted to pierce through her head.

In the blink of an eye, Little Sly Jiang’s figure flashed out of the carriage. She grabbed the arrow that had almost hit her daughter. Then, her eyes turned cold as she turned around and threw the arrow fiercely into the darkness.

A series of screams sounded in the darkness.

Yu Wan’s heart skipped a beat and she turned around. Almost at the same time, an overwhelming number of arrows shot towards the two of them like a fine net.

“Mom!” Yu Wan strode forward and was about to protect Madam Jiang between her body and the door when the arrows shattered.

Yu Wan did not understand what had happened, but when she saw Madam Jiang’s gaze, it was unprecedentedly cold.

An arrow that missed grazed Yu Wan’s hair. A strand of hair landed on Yu Wan’s shoulder and slid into Little Sly Jiang’s hand.

Little SIV Tiang was furious! She slammed 0Den the door behind her and Dushed Yu Wan into the inn.

What happened just now? Yu Wan was dumbfounded. Just as she was about to turn around and ask, she saw the inn door close in front of her.

Little Sly Jiang rose into the air, emitting an aura that was even more ruthless than the Blood Rakshasa’s. She was like a demon god in the dark. She pinched a strand of hair in her hand and looked at the thousand-strong army lurking in the dark. She said coldly, “My daughter’s hair is broken.. All your necks have to be broken!”
