Chapter 387: Fierce Battle in the Bamboo Forest
What is even more incredible is that Feng Wuhen actually stayed in Xie Hefan's yard until the evening. Only when the sun set and the dusk deepened did he slowly get up and leave Xie Hefan's yard.
After Feng Wuhen came out of Xie Hefan's yard, he did not go back to his room directly, but went to see the third owner of the manor, and then hurried back.
As soon as he entered the yard, he couldn't wait to look for Jiang Yimo. When he saw her, an expression of joy appeared on his face.
"Momo, what's the situation with the third owner?" Feng Wuhen asked with concern.
Jiang Yimo smiled slightly, with a hint of joy in her eyes: "It's much better now."
Feng Wuhen nodded, feeling a little relieved, but then he said, "Then we will set out to return to the Imperial City early tomorrow morning."
The tone was firm and decisive.
Jiang Yimo was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Feng Wuhen in confusion: "Is it so urgent?"
Feng Wuhen took a deep breath and his eyes became serious: "Yes, we must rush back to the Imperial City as soon as possible. I just got the news that something might have happened in the palace, and the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect and that Mr. Kang are said to have also gone to the Imperial City."
Jiang Yimo's face turned pale instantly, her eyes filled with worry and uneasiness: "Did something happen to the Emperor or the Queen Mother?"
Feng Wuhen shook his head lightly, his expression solemn: "The specific situation is still unclear, but according to reliable information, the emperor is suddenly in poor health... Therefore, we must return to the imperial city immediately, go back to see the situation, and then think of a countermeasure."
Jiang Yimo's mood became increasingly heavy. She knew very well how important the emperor was to the country. If something really happened to the emperor, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Okay, I understand. We will pack our luggage as soon as possible and set off early tomorrow morning." Jiang Yimo answered without hesitation.
Feng Wuhen nodded and looked at Jiang Yimo gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding. This trip back may not be so smooth."
Jiang Yimo nodded firmly and said, "I understand."
Afterwards, the two began to get busy, packing their luggage and making full preparations for the return trip tomorrow.
The next morning, at dawn, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen set out on their journey. They rode away from Yunlai Villa at a brisk pace.
However, when they were about to leave, Sheikhfan hurried over with several of his men.
"Master Xie, where are you going?" Jiang Yimo asked curiously.
"I will go to the imperial city with you." Xie Hefan answered without any concealment.
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but feel doubtful.
After all, such a major incident happened in Yunlai Villa a few days ago, and as the person in charge of the villa, doesn't he have to handle the affairs of the villa?
However, it was other people's business and she had no right to interfere, so she did not ask the reason.
In this way, Jiang Yimo, Xie Hefan and his party set out on their journey home.
Along the way, they laughed and talked in a harmonious atmosphere, and soon arrived at Jingcheng.
When they returned to Jingcheng, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but think of Feng Wuhen's mysterious master.
"Your Highness, when we return to the imperial city this time, have you said goodbye to your master?" Jiang Yimo suddenly asked.
Feng Wuhen smiled slightly: "He left Jingcheng on the day you took the Lingxin Grass and continued to travel."
Jiang Yimo felt a little emotional. Although she had not been with Feng Wuhen's master for a long time, the old man left a deep impression on her.
"Oh..." Jiang Yimo didn't know what to say.
Then she and Feng Wuhen would have to wait until next time if they wanted to visit the old man of Gushan again.
After all, time is tight now, so they can only return to the imperial city first.
Next, Jiang Yimo and her group rode their horses towards the imperial city in a mighty procession.
They walked smoothly for a day and a night, so smoothly that Jiang Yimo, Feng Wuhen and Xie Hefan were a little suspicious. They did not encounter any assassination or ambush on the road.
But no matter what, they can't take it lightly.
Perhaps this is the calm before the storm.
Sure enough, when they passed through a bamboo forest, everyone felt a strong sense of danger coming towards them.
Four huge iron nets with spikes were dragged up from the ground and quickly rushed towards Jiang Yimo, Feng Wuhen and others.
In an instant, they were surrounded from all sides.
These four giant nets had sharp thorns and flashed cold light, as if they were going to tear them apart.
Moreover, these four giant nets were surrounded by a group of masked men in black holding bows and arrows.
"Not good!" Feng Wuhen's face changed and he shouted, "Run." He immediately used his Qinggong skills to try to avoid the iron net, but he was still a step too late.
The iron net instantly trapped them, slowly moving closer and closer to them, making it impossible for them to escape.
"Damn it! We are trapped!" Shadow shouted angrily at this time.
Jiang Yimo and Jiang Yimo looked around calmly and found that the trap was carefully designed and they had to escape as soon as possible.
Otherwise, they will all be caught in the pie.
"Don't panic, let's find a solution together!" Jiang Yimo comforted.
However, at this moment, a sinister laugh came from the bamboo forest.
“Hahahaha…you idiots, you finally fell into my trap!”
A man in black Taoist robes and holding a whisk appeared in front of them with a smug smile on his face.
"Who are you? Why are you framing us?" Jiang Yimo glared at the man in black Taoist robe.
"I am the owner of this bamboo forest. If you trespass into my territory, you will have to pay the price!" said the man in black robe coldly.
"Hmph! Do you think you can trap us like this?" Feng Wuhen said disdainfully.
"Hahaha...you try it!" The man in black Taoist robe laughed and proudly swung the whisk in his hand.
When Jiang Yimo, Feng Wuhen and the others saw that the giant net was within reach, they immediately jumped off their horses and used the horses to protect themselves, but the spikes soon embedded deeply into the horses' bodies, causing them unbearable pain and driving them crazy in the small space.
If you’re not careful, you can kick Jiang Yimo and the others to death.
"Damn it!" Feng Wuhen said gritting his teeth.
He was anxious and knew he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. So he immediately asked Jiang Yimo for four bundles of ropes and asked Xie Hefan, Anying and Leng Mei to concentrate their efforts and use the four bundles of ropes to wrap the giant net separately. Then, they flew into the air and used ropes to tie the giant net to four large bamboos to secure it.
"Good opportunity! Let's escape quickly." Seeing this, Feng Wuhen immediately grabbed Jiang Yimo's slender waist, flew into the air, and with the help of the surrounding bamboo, landed steadily on the ground.
At the same time, arrows from the surrounding men in black were shot at them. Jiang Yimo and the others reacted very quickly. When the arrows were shot at them, they all rolled into the grass together and used the cover of the grass to save their lives.
"Hmph! You guys have some skills, but don't even think about going back alive!" When the man in robes saw them escape, his face darkened and he launched another attack.
