Han Liuyi nodded and answered truthfully: "I overheard a few gentlemen say last night that they were going to Bishui Villa today."
She glanced at the four people riding horses in front of her and continued, "I'm going to Taoyuan City, which is not far from Bishui Villa, to tell my brother's family that he is dead. By the way, I'm going to find out the truth!"
Her eyes were determined and her tone was slightly tearful. She said this with hatred on her face, and anyone who heard it would be moved.
Tao Tao thought of the body, which had probably turned to ashes. She nodded in understanding, but she was also confused: "Miss Han, what if it wasn't done by Bishui Villa?"
Han Liuyi's expression turned sad and angry. She gripped the reins tightly and said, "No matter what, I'm going to find out the truth!"
The four of them nodded and lowered the curtain.
Han Liuyi said that she was just joining them because it was just a matter of convenience. She knew martial arts and would not be a burden to them.
Meng Yin suddenly thought of Qin Hanlin, and she asked Xia Nian: "Niannian, where is Qin Hanlin?"
Xia Nian said: "Just stay here. I'm also surprised that she didn't ask to take her with her."
Xu Zheng waved her hand: "Who cares about her?"

Bishui Villa is located on the Bishui Mountain in front of Taoyuan City. It is built on the mountain. They need to take the official road first and then take the small path to go up the mountain.
Beside this path is the natural barrier of Bishui Villa - the miasma forest. It is filled with fog and extremely humid, and you can always see snakes hanging on the trees.
After entering Taoyuan City, there are peach trees planted on both sides of the road. There are fruits on them. They are not very red and are small, which serves a certain ornamental purpose.
"I can't imagine how beautiful spring is." Meng Yin sat in front of Gu Ling and sighed.
Gu Ling protected her tightly, looking around all the time, and never forgot to answer her: "We come to Taoyuan City to live every spring."
Next spring... Meng Yin paused slightly. Will she still be there then?
Gu Ling's breath was still behind her ears, and she forced herself to suppress the discomfort in her heart.
They are still together, how can she be sad about the meaningless things in the future?
"Ayin, what are you thinking about?" Noticing that something was wrong with her, Gu Ling lifted her chin with his index finger and asked.
Meng Yin shook her head and asked him, "I didn't think about anything. It was you who was looking around from the beginning. Is there something wrong?"
"There is something wrong. In the past, there were many people going to Taoyuan City at this time of year. But since we got on the official road today, there have been no other pedestrians except us. It's really suspicious." Gu Ling explained.
Meng Yin suddenly realized and nodded in agreement: "It seems so!"
Han Liuyi walked beside the carriage, waiting for what was about to happen.
When he reached the path, Ah Shuo saw at a glance that the intersection was blocked. There was a wooden sign next to it, which read "No entry for non-Bishui Villa residents."
"Young Master, the road to Bishui Villa has been blocked by them!" Ah Shuo shouted to the back.
Yiqing was waving the reins and was about to go forward to check what was going on when a few round objects were thrown down from the hillside behind them and landed directly next to the carriage.
Han Liuyi raised her eyebrows, squeezed the horse's belly, and the white horse ran forward for a distance.
Meng Yin turned around to tell them that the road was blocked, but the next second she saw flames shooting up into the sky, dust rising all around, and the carriage was blown directly to the ground!
Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she didn't have time to call their names. She struggled to get off the horse. Pei Xuanxi and others also rushed to the carriage as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the explosives only overturned the carriage and did not injure the people inside.
The three people sitting inside were staggering back and forth, and before they could react to what was happening, their ears were ringing.
Yiqing opened the window and was relieved to see that no one inside was alright. He shouted, "There's an ambush!"
After saying that, the three of them pulled them out.
In order to protect the two people, Xu Zheng had just been hit hard on the head. She rubbed her head and felt a little dizzy.
Pei Xuanxi immediately pressed a few of her acupoints, and Xu Zheng finally came to her senses a little.
"What's going on?" she asked.
The rest of the people dismounted and surrounded the four men.
They only brought their trusted confidants with them this time, and there are fourteen of them present now, including Han Liuyi.
Several people held swords in front of them and looked around vigilantly.
Behind it is a forest, and going deeper into it you will enter the miasma forest that is said to eat people.
Another round explosive was thrown down, and Pei Xuanxi's fingers shot out silver needles, and the explosive exploded in the air.
Fortunately, the power of this explosive is proportional to its size and is not very great.
"Young Master, the path over there is blocked. Which way should we go?" Ah Shuo shouted.
Yiqing looked around. The enemy was in the dark while they were in the light. They definitely couldn't go through the small road. They had no choice but to go back or go to Taoyuan City.
He was about to speak when several explosive packs the size of balls were suddenly thrown down from the hillside, shocking several people and causing them to step back immediately.
The power of that explosive was much greater than the previous one, and white smoke was coming out of it.
"Cover your mouth and nose!" Gu Ling stretched out his hand to block Meng Yin, quickly took out a pill from his arms and handed it to them.
"This is a pill for removing miasma. If you go into the woods, take it with you in case of emergency," he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of men in black rushed out of the smoke, holding swords and rushing towards them.
Han Liuyi was shocked. She didn't expect Nanmen Jianken to spend so much money and send out nearly a hundred people.
"So many people?!" Meng Yin said in despair. Not only in front, but also on both sides of them were people in black when the smoke just rose. Now they could only run into the woods.
"Fight while running," Xiahou Yu shouted, and several flying knives flew out of his hand and stabbed fiercely into the throat of the black-clothed man in front of him.
They kept retreating, protecting the three people while blocking their attacks.
There were trees in the woods, and their numbers were too small, so they could take advantage of their good martial arts skills in the woods. They decided to lure these people into the woods and then kill them.
Except for Xu Zheng, Meng Yin and the other two could only escape passively. Fortunately, there were people protecting them, so they were fine.
The men in black threw out a few more round explosives, one of which actually fell directly at Gu Ling's feet.
"Gu Ling!" Meng Yin ran forward and kicked the explosives away, but suddenly found that the explosives were exactly the same as the ones she saw at Han Liuyi's place.
Gu Ling immediately protected Meng Yin, his dark eyes flashing with a cold light.
There was no time to think as the explosives exploded around them and the men in black rushed forward. Xiahou Yu and the other three looked at the situation, looked at each other, and started to run away.
They were very good at martial arts and picked up Xia Nian and the other two and flew inside on the tree trunk.
Han Liuyi fended off the attack pretentiously. She had a red band tied around her arm so that the people on the other side would know that she was one of them.
She originally wanted to find an opportunity to take their lives, but when she turned around, she found that they were running inside in different directions at a very fast speed.
She gritted her teeth and chose to follow Xu Zheng and Pei Xuanxi who were closest to her.
Xu Zheng knew Qinggong, and she, Pei Xuanxi, and Ah Yan were the fastest. Seeing that they had dispersed, the men in black had no choice but to chase them separately.
Xia Nian was horrified to find that the fog became thicker the further she went inside, and she couldn't even see the road ahead. She immediately took the medicine to relieve the miasma, and did not forget to take the medicine from Xia Hou Yu's arms and feed it to him.
She looked back and could not see anyone else! There was only Qi Sheng following behind her and the man in black chasing after her.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Xiahou Yu put Xia Nian on a thick tree trunk, and together with Qi Sheng, they raised their swords and charged towards them.
There were no more than thirty people chasing them, and because of the miasma, many of them had their eyes rolled back and foamed at the mouth.
After they had dealt with everyone, Xiahou Yu flew up and carried Xia Nian down, only to find that there was no one around except them.
"The road here is completely unclear. How can we find them?" Xia Nian asked with a frown.
She felt that they did not run far, but the group still got separated. What was even more strange was that there was no other sound around except the sound of birds singing and wind blowing through the leaves. It was terrifyingly quiet.
Xiahou Yu was not afraid. When he was in his teens, he walked out of the miasma forest alone in the middle of the night. He held Xia Nian's hand and comforted her, "It will be like this when you enter the miasma forest. You will feel that time passes very quickly. Don't be afraid, Nian. This kind of place is nothing to me."
"Then how are we going to make peace?" Xia Nian asked.
"I think they have the same idea as me, to go to Bishui Villa." Xiahou Yu said, pulling her inside.
