A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Eunuch Wu understood what the Queen Mother meant, so he didn't need to go back and report to her. He knew what to do.

"Madame Qiu, please go back to the palace first. The Queen Mother has something to ask you. Everyone else, follow me and chase after Shen Qingqian. We must bring her back!"

It was already dusk when Shen Qingqian and his group left the capital and arrived in Huanggang Town.

If it were any other time, at this time, I would definitely stay here for one night and leave tomorrow.

But Shen Qingqian had long guessed that the Queen Mother's people would not give up, so after they had dinner in Huanggang Town, she ordered the convoy to continue and rush back overnight.

She and the educated youth Zhizhu were waiting in a forest in front of Huanggang Town.

Although they set out three hours earlier than Eunuch Wu and his group, they had more people, more carriages, and more stuff, so they naturally couldn't move very fast.

Shen Qingqian knew that the Queen Mother's men would catch up sooner or later, so she waited to intercept them halfway.

Sure enough, at one o'clock in the evening, which was a little after seven in the evening, Eunuch Wu and his companions caught up with Shen Qingqian and the other two in the woods.

The guards in the Empress Dowager's palace were naturally skilled in martial arts, and Shen Qingqian certainly would not underestimate the enemy. When she was an official in the court, she did not dare to be too high-profile and was cautious everywhere. She also covered the gun in her hand very tightly, for fear that it would be discovered and arouse the covetousness of others. Of course, this others also included the emperor and the court.

And now, the Queen Mother has forced her to resign and is pursuing her relentlessly, so don't blame her for being rude!

Shen Qingqian and Zhiqing Zhizhu hid in three trees respectively, listening to the sound of horse hooves gradually approaching and looking at the figures getting closer and closer. Shen Qingqian's eyes were as sharp as an eagle and the gun in his hand was shining coldly.

Although Eunuch Wu is very powerful, Shen Qingqian and the other two are not ordinary people either. They deliberately concealed their aura, and Eunuch Wu and the others were very fast, so they did not notice anything.

After Eunuch Wu and his entourage passed by where they were, Shen Qingqian fired two shots from behind, and the two people walking at the back fell off their horses.

The people in front were startled by the sudden noise; even the horses they were riding raised their front hooves and jumped twice on the spot.

Everyone, including Eunuch Wu, reined in their horses and turned around to look.

Some people also quickly got off their horses and came to the two people who were beaten to death to check the situation.

"Eunuch, they are dead. It seems they were hit by some hidden weapon."

One of them reported.

Eunuch Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he realized that something seemed to be wrong here, and he became alert instantly.

Just then, a tree not far away shook, and a figure flew from that tree to another tree.

"who?"

As soon as Eunuch Wu finished speaking, two more guards jumped up, drew their swords, and rushed towards the figure.

Shen Qingqian's eyes were cold. He held a pistol in each hand and pointed it at the two men's heads and pulled the trigger.

"Crack! Crack!"

Both guards fell from mid-air.

At the same time, Eunuch Wu discovered Shen Qingqian's hiding place and flew towards her like a whirlwind, so that Shen Qingqian was too late to shoot him.

He is indeed the Queen Mother's lackey, and his strength should not be underestimated!

Shen Qingqian cursed inwardly and flew away, with Eunuch Wu chasing after her.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Three crossbow arrows flew out from the side and shot at Eunuch Wu. The person who shot was Zhizhu who was hiding in another tree.

Eunuch Wu was indeed a very capable man, and he managed to dodge all three crossbow arrows with a single turn. However, Shen Qingqian also disappeared because of this.

Eunuch Wu had to give up chasing Shen Qingqian and instead attacked Zhizhu.

"Snapped!"

Another gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole was punched out of Eunuch Wu's leg. The severe pain made it impossible for him to use his Qinggong skills anymore, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Eunuch Wu was horrified that with his martial arts skills he couldn't dodge the hidden weapon!

When several guards fell down, he thought it was because they were not good at martial arts and were too weak. He even thought that such trash deserved to die!

He had just dodged three crossbow arrows easily and was very proud of himself. As expected, no hidden weapon could hurt a man as powerful as him.

But he didn't expect that in just a moment, the severe pain in his leg ruthlessly extinguished his confidence!

The fall of Eunuch Wu also caused the other guards to panic instantly. You know, they all knew how high Eunuch Wu's martial arts skills were. And now, even Eunuch Wu was injured by that unknown hidden weapon, so wouldn't they be even more vulnerable!

"Father-in-law, how are you?"

Several guards had surrounded Eunuch Wu to check his injuries.

Eunuch Wu felt like something was embedded in his bones, and the pain made him sweat profusely. But from the outside, all he could see was a bloody hole that kept bleeding.

"Retreat! Send me back to the palace to find the imperial physician!"

Eunuch Wu's voice was still sharp, but it sounded a little weak.

Shen Qingqian and Zhiqing Zhizhu hid in a dense tree and looked at them coldly.

The educated youth asked, "Girl, should we kill them all?"

Zhi Zhu also said: "Yes, girl, even though they are outnumbered, with the three of us working together, plus the gun in your hand and the crossbows in our hands, it won't take much effort to catch them all!"

Shen Qingqian shook her head, "Killing these guards, there are still thousands of them in the palace, it won't solve the fundamental problem, the key is to finally defeat the Queen Mother.

Besides, it is not easy to make a bullet, and it is a waste to use it on them. There is no need for us to tangle with them today, let's go back first and settle accounts with them later."

Shen Qingqian thought that when she returned, she would start researching how to make bombs. That would be simpler and more brutal to make and use. Throwing out one or two of them would kill all these people!

"All right!"

Zhiqing and Zhizhu looked unwillingly at those who were preparing to retreat, and flew away with Shen Qingqian.

It took the three of them less than two hours to catch up with the convoy. The rest of the journey was smooth, and they returned to Black Rock Mountain in the evening of the second day.

On the other side, when Eunuch Wu was escorted back to the palace by the guards, he was already unconscious.

The imperial doctors kept shaking their heads when they were treating him. Although the guards had applied simple medicine and bandaged Eunuch Wu's wound before, Eunuch Wu's leg injury was too serious, and there was a foreign object stuck in the leg bone, which was difficult to remove.
