The moon falling to the ground

Without waiting for Yun Zhonghe to speak, she excitedly told Muxiang to prepare a sandbag for her.

At night, after the hour of midnight, a group of men in black, each carrying a person, flew to the back of a four-story mansion in the north of the city, and threw the person into the yard over the wall.

When the people in the yard heard the noise and rushed over, they saw their companions lying on the ground with their tendons in their hands and feet cut.

The team leader quickly reported to the host. The host, Qiu Feihu, was very unhappy when the team leader woke him up from his sleep, and angrily said: "You'd better have something worth reporting, otherwise..."

The captain's face was still filled with shock, and he said in a trembling voice, "Reporting to the host, the people who arrested the disciple of the divine doctor have been sent back. Their tendons in their hands and feet have been cut, and they are all dead."

"What?" Qiu Feihu jumped up from the bed. He grabbed his clothes and put them on hastily, then hurried out of the room.

The assassins who were sent back were now neatly lined up in a row. Qiu Feihu carefully examined the cause of death of these people, and found that they were all killed by someone cutting their necks. If their necks were cut, why did they have to cut their tendons in their hands and feet? Isn't this a waste of time?

Qiu Feihu was puzzled.

He called the killer who was responsible for taking the order to ask him about it, and only then did he know that the employer required the killer to have his tendons in his hands and feet cut and be thrown into a brothel.

It turns out that they are just retaliating.

Qiu Feihu frowned.

This was the first time that Zhaixinglou had encountered a tough opponent since its debut. The other party threw the person back, which was a warning to Zhaixinglou and also a disguised deterrent.

Qiu Feihu warned the killer who accepted the order: "From now on, don't accept any orders targeting the disciples of the divine doctor."

Qiu Feihu was heartbroken after losing more than 20 assassins at once. He decided to send someone to investigate and find out what had happened.

"Yes." The killer who received the order quickly responded. When he came, he saw the row of corpses lying on the ground, and he still felt a chill in his heart.

Jian Yue didn't know about the Zhaixing Tower. The next morning, she got up early and tied a one-pound sandbag to each leg. There was no other way. Her body was still in the process of conditioning, and it was not easy for her to overwork and bear weight. She could only proceed step by step.

Even a sandbag weighing one pound greatly affected Jian Yue's training movements.

When Fu Yun learned that she had a sandbag tied to her body, he did not scold her for her slow movements, but asked her to stop practicing and walk and jog slowly to get used to the weight on her body.

After one round, Jian Yue felt as if she had been washed clean. She rested for a while, drank half a glass of water, and then stood up and continued walking.

When it was almost time for breakfast, Jian Yue returned to her room, took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and asked for leave from her master at the dinner table.

When Doctor Mao learned that she was going out to cause trouble, he did not stop her. He just told her to be careful, and that was all.

Jian Yue went out with a blueprint. She took Fu Yun to the iron shop to find the shopkeeper Bu and gave the blueprint to the shopkeeper Bu.

It was only then that Fu Yun knew that Jian Yue was going to make bows and arrows, and she also wanted a share. She wanted to refuse, but when she heard Jian Yue say that the bows and arrows were specially designed to poison the enemy, she remained silent.

It was really that Jian Yue’s poison was so effective that she fell in love with it after using it once.

The shopkeeper listened carefully to Jian Yue's request and decided to tailor bows and arrows for them based on their arm strength.

After leaving the iron shop, Jian Yue and Fu Yun went out of the city.

There was an official archery range outside the city. No matter if you were a son of an official or a commoner, as long as you could afford the tuition, you could learn archery at the archery range. Of course, only the sons of the powerful and wealthy could afford the tuition.

According to Yuan Yi's information, Meng Yuan likes horseback archery and also likes to compete with others. As it happens, there is a competition at the horseback archery field today.

Jian Yue and Fu Yun changed their clothes in the carriage and dressed up as men. She took out a bottle of potion and applied it on her face first.

Fu Yun watched in surprise as wrinkles quickly formed on Jian Yue's face right under her eyes.

"your face?"

Jian Yue smiled proudly: "This is just an illusion caused by the drug. No wrinkles have really grown."

"It's amazing!" Fu Yun couldn't help but sigh. She had traveled all over the country and met many strange people and things, but she had never seen such a magical medicine.

Jian Yue applied it on her. Fu Yun only felt her skin was a little tight, but she didn't feel any other discomfort.

When Jian Yue said it was okay, she couldn't help but reach out and touch it. It felt as smooth as usual, without any wrinkles.

Jian Yue took out a small bronze mirror from her bag and faced Fu Yun. Fu Yun saw his wrinkled face in the bronze mirror.

Well! She aged instantly.

Jian Yue asked Yuan Shi to drive the carriage to a secluded place and hide it. Fu Yun was wearing brown clothes, and Jian Yue was wearing gray-blue clothes. The two walked side by side to the archery field.

There were two yamen runners guarding the gate of the archery field. The two men did not go directly through the gate, but turned a corner and walked towards a secluded path.

"Go in from here, there is a dirt slope, and the stable is closest to the dirt slope." Fu Yun had been to the horse archery field before. When he learned that Jian Yue was going to the horse archery field, he drew a map of the horse archery field for Jian Yue to see.

Jian Yue recalled the location marked on the map in her mind. She said to Fu Yun, "Let's go to the stable and try to find Meng Yuan's horse."

When the two reached the slope, they found a hole in the fence that allowed people to enter and exit. No one knew who had made it. The two ducked down and crawled through the fence, then followed the slope into the archery arena.

There were people in groups of three or four on the archery field, and some were riding horses for a stroll.

The two of them ran quickly to the stable.

Fortunately, there was a row of trees along the fence, and the two of them took advantage of the trees to quickly reach the stable.

At this time, there were four grooms cleaning the stable. One of them said, "Hurry up, Master Meng and his men will come to get the horses soon. If they find the mess unpleasant, we will be punished again."

Another groom said, "Serve Master Meng's red wine first. If Master Meng is happy, he might even give us a little money."

Another groom spat, "Don't dream, Master Meng's reward is not easy to get. As long as we don't get whipped by him, we should be thankful."

Jian Yue and Fu Yun looked inside through the cracks in the wooden board. Jian Yue's eyes followed the coachman's movements and soon locked onto Meng Yuan's red hair.

It was a chestnut horse without a single stray hair on its body, with a slender body and strong limbs. Even Jian Yue, who knew nothing about horses, could tell that it was a rare steed.

The two waited for a while. After the groom cleaned up, added hay and water to the horse, he took his tools and went to a row of houses not far away.

Jian Yue asked Fu Yun to keep watch, and she quickly slipped into the stable and found the chestnut horse.

The bay horse raised its neck and was about to bark when it saw a stranger approaching. Jian Yue quickly sprinkled a handful of medicine powder on its nose.

The chestnut horse paused for a moment, then immediately calmed down, lowered its head and continued to eat its grass, no longer paying attention to Jian Yue who was approaching.

Jian Yue sprinkled the powder on the horse's back and belly. After that, she rubbed it again to hide the powder in the fur and make it difficult for people to detect. Then, she quickly left the stable...
