Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. Lei Shi, who was so skilled in martial arts, almost died at the hands of a little girl.

Jiang Wantang stood not too far away in the shadow of a tree. Every word of the conversation between the people reached her ears clearly, and her thoughts drifted back to a long, long time ago.

She was only ten years old that year, and she had to survive alone in a hard-pressed village in the mountains. She could not eat enough, but she could not starve to death either. She also had to depend on the farmers' moods.

One night, she accidentally heard the farmers whispering to each other while hiding in their houses.

It turned out that they had sold her to the thirty-year-old mentally retarded son of a merchant family in the town as a wife. The merchant family would send someone to pick her up the next morning, so several people were plotting to give her some drugs at night to make her unconscious.

She was so frightened and scared that she had to sneak out under the cover of night.

The place was surrounded by mountains and she didn't know the way. She could only walk slowly in the endless forests based on her feeling. She drank stream water when she was thirsty and ate wild fruits when she was hungry.

She walked like this for two days and two nights. She walked a very long way, from the mountains to the deserted forests, and was completely lost.

While picking wild fruits, she found an injured and unconscious boy by the stream.

Fortunately, she was familiar with some common herbs in the mountains and saved the boy.

Both of them tacitly agreed not to ask each other's background or where they came from.

Then they lived in a small bamboo courtyard in the mountains.

She collected herbs and applied medicine for him, and he taught her martial arts for self-defense.

He said he was the seventh child in the family, so she called him Brother Xiaoqi.

And he affectionately called her Atang.

The young man's eyes were like the breeze, bright as the cold moon, elegant and extraordinary.

He treated her very well, taught her martial arts, horse riding and archery, and also taught her to read and write...

He would tell her about the wonderful world outside, and he loved watching her dance under the peach tree...

In this way, the two of them spent half a year of happy and peaceful time in the mountains.

The boy was like the only ray of sunshine that illuminated her in that dark period of her life.

But she knew that the boy was not an ordinary person, and it was impossible for him to live there with her forever.

She also knew that every midnight, someone would appear in the bamboo courtyard, and they would respectfully call him "Master."

Later, he asked her if she would like to leave with him, and she nodded happily.

At that time, she was naive and thought that the two of them could really stay together forever.

I never thought that he would suddenly leave without saying goodbye.

The young man who had clearly said a few days ago that he would take her to see the starry night in Mobei, the water towns in Jiangnan, and eat all the delicious food from all over the world, suddenly disappeared like that, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, without a trace left.

It seemed as if the companionship of her for the past six months was just a beautiful dream.

But she didn't believe it, and searched for the boy in the forest every day for a whole month.

Until one day, she was walking in the mountains in a daze, and met Lei Shi who went up the mountain to hunt.

She asked him if he had ever seen a tall and handsome young man.

The man was attracted by the beauty and said he had seen her before.

He coaxed her to the entrance of a cave and lied to her that the boy was injured and was recuperating inside.

The worried and anxious little girl didn't suspect anything and walked towards the cave. The man followed her with a wicked smile on his face.

The cave was small and the man blocked her escape route.

When she realized something was wrong, the man couldn't wait to stretch out his claws towards her...

There is a huge difference in age, body shape, and strength between men and women.

Fortunately, she learned kung fu and carried with her the self-defense dagger given to her by the young man, so she escaped from the man's clutches unharmed.

……

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Jiang Wantang's thoughts returned.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with a piercing coldness, and the red at the corners of her eyes gradually deepened, becoming a terrifying scarlet. She glared coldly at the man who was drinking happily. Her once bright face was now cruel and ruthless. "You were lucky enough to survive back then, but today is the day you die."

Then, Jiang Wantang turned and left.

After she left, Qi Ming, who was hiding in the dark, raised the corner of his lips. The bait was indeed not in vain, the fish was about to take the bait so soon...

He beckoned his hand, and one of his men immediately stepped forward. He leaned over and whispered a few words in the subordinate's ear.

The man took the order and retreated.

Not long after, a man in black walked over to the stone table where the group was drinking and said with a smile, "What were you guys talking about just now, some stunning beauty? Let me hear some of that, too."

Several people were talking and laughing, and it was obvious that they knew each other.

Someone laughed and said, "Is she the stunning beauty that Brother Lei happened to meet in the mountains many years ago?"

The man in black asked again, "Brother Lei, do you still remember what she looks like?"

Lei Shi patted his chest and said firmly: "Of course I remember. I have been thinking about her all the time and worrying about her for many years. Even if she turned into ashes, I would recognize her."

The man in black expressed his disbelief: "Is it true? Tell me about it..."

"Fair skin, oval face, peach blossom eyes... The most stunning thing is the small, round cinnabar mole at the end of the eye, which is very attractive."

As he spoke, Lei Shi's eyes gradually revealed nostalgia and obsession.

They had all drunk quite a bit of wine, and after hearing his detailed description, they suddenly became a little agitated.

The black-clad decoration said casually, "From what Brother Lei said, she does look somewhat similar to the Concubine Shu in the palace..."

"I just had the honor of seeing her at the banquet. Peach blossom eyes, with a striking cinnabar mole at the corner of her eye. She is absolutely a stunning beauty rarely seen in the world!"

Someone said, "So what? The emperor's woman, no matter how beautiful she is, is not something we can even dream of."

Although the speaker seems unintentional, the listener is intentional.

Concubine Shu?

There was a deep look in Lei Shi's eyes. He thought of the red figure he had just seen at the banquet. Just by looking at her back, he knew that she was a stunning beauty.

Is it really her?

Lei Shi immediately stood up and left without saying a word.

The man in black saw that his goal had been achieved, so he exchanged a few words and left.

At that time, Jiang Wantang was standing alone beside the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, wondering what he was thinking.

Xie Zhiyan, who was looking for her everywhere, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar figure beside the lotus pond.

But he brought it up again the next moment...
