The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 809 Dripping Blood
Midnight, the beginning of the Zi hour.

The alley barrier was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the bodies of the assassins were scattered all over the place. Mei Yan stood among the corpses, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief.

Meng Shisan's whip was dripping with blood.

Chang'an's two swords were dripping with blood.

Pei Yan looked at the master and servant standing opposite him. Compared with Chang'an's face, which looked like he could fight for another eight hundred rounds, Meng Shisan's face was so pale that he seemed like he was about to fall down at the next breath.

But he knew it wouldn't.

Because from Meng Shisan's eyes, he could see that Meng Shisan's fighting spirit was growing braver as the fight went on.

He couldn't understand how the daughter of a Shangshu family, who had been kept in seclusion for fifteen years and was sickly for fifteen years, could become so strong even if she became wise after coming of age!
Her whip skills were as fast as lightning and as heavy as thunder. Every time she swung the whip, she could accurately hit the vital points of the assassins. He didn't understand how she managed such precise eyesight and accurate strikes.

According to what he had investigated before, she was just the sickly granddaughter of Meng Tianguan. Even if she had changed and improved, it would not be possible to master the whip technique in a short period of time.

This is very confusing.

And he was destined to take this puzzle to the underworld.

Ji Kuan went to Dong's Mansion, but did not find Meng Shisan. However, he met the Meng Mansion's carriage which was heading back to Meng's Mansion. He was very surprised, but before he could put his heart back into his stomach, he found that Meng Shisan was not in the car.

Ma Ji's subsequent explanation made him understand what had happened.

Of course, this is only half of the story.

As for the remaining half, Meng Shisan and Chang'an, who were staying in the alley, what kind of crisis were they facing? Ma Ji said he didn't know and Ji Kuan had to go back to the alley to check it out himself.

For a moment, Ji Kuan felt as if a bolt of lightning struck the top of his head.

After Meng Renping returned to the Meng Mansion and learned that Meng Shisan had not returned, he waited until the Meng Mansion's carriage returned. He learned from the coachman where Meng Shisan had gone, and when he learned that Ji Kuan had gone to the alley near the street outside the Anmofang Washe, he immediately spurred his horse and galloped at full speed.

Ma Ji did not follow him. He walked leisurely back to his house in Mocheng Hutong.

He felt that since Miss Meng didn't ask him to go back to the alley to help after sending Dong Linglong back home, then his help was definitely not needed.

In that case, he would just go home and wait.

At the latest by the next day, he would be able to learn about the subsequent developments in the alley and the final outcome.

Ji Kuan did not have as good an attitude as Ma Ji, and Meng Renping was even less so.

The two men arrived one after the other, and when they saw the alley covered in blood and corpses, they were equally stunned and felt a chill down their spines.

Baizhuo Baisha and the two teams of East Palace guards, who had arrived at the alley more than a quarter of an hour earlier than the two men, stood there in a daze, shocked and unbelievable.

Meng Renping arrived later, while Ji Kuan arrived earlier. He took a quick look at the thirty-one bodies and said, "The fatal points are either whip marks or sword wounds."

Hearing the whip marks, Meng Renping couldn't help but think of the soft whip he gave to Meng Shisan. This made him want to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Ji Kuan could understand Meng Renping's current mood very well. He pointed at Pei Yan, who had revealed his true face after pulling down the black veil and said, "The guard beside the Second Prince is called Pei Yan, if I remember correctly. The others should also be the assassins under the Second Prince's command."

Last time, he sent out ten assassins, but this time, not only thirty assassins were sent out, but even his trusted guards were sent out to carry out the mission personally. This shows how much Li Heng wanted his eldest cousin to die.

When Meng Renping thought about this, he felt that none of the 31 bodies in front of him deserved to die: "They died well."

His eyes were calm and his tone was indifferent. Ji Kuan, who was crouching over and turning over the body with fatal injuries, had to look up at him. Meng Renping had a gloomy face: "What? Only the county officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

"Accurate." Ji Kuan smiled when Meng Renping questioned him, "It's just that the lamp lit by your eldest sister is more powerful than setting a fire."

The whip marks could be inferred to be caused by Miss Meng, and as for the sword wounds, he asked: "Chang'an, who was beside Miss Meng, did she use a sword as a weapon?"

"I don't know." Meng Renping really didn't know. He had never seen Chang'an take action. "It doesn't matter."

The important thing is that his cousin is probably fine.

"Yes..." Bai Zhuo answered Ji Kuan's question slowly, "When I arrived, Miss Meng was still there. She was holding a whip, and Chang An was holding a sword... a pair of short swords."

Regardless of whether it was a soft whip or two swords, they were all covered in blood!

Ji Kuan listened and looked at Meng Renping. Meng Renping didn't say anything. He just turned around and climbed onto the horse's back: "I have to go back and see if Yaoyao has returned home."

Ji Kuan nodded: "Let's go, leave this to me."

Pei Yan was Li Heng's trusted guard. He died in the alley along with thirty assassins. Only he could clean up the mess.

After all, the man was killed by Chi Nan’s eldest cousin.

Bai Zhuo came back to his senses and said, "Sir, these people..."

"The dead soldiers were burned, is it slanderous..." Ji Kuan thought for a while, "His Highness once said that it is impolite not to return a favor. Put it in a sack and send it back to the Second Prince."

"Yes." Bai Zhuo immediately asked the East Palace guard beside him to find a large sack big enough to hold one person.

Baisha then asked, "Do we still need to keep protecting the Meng Mansion?"

"As long as His Highness has not ordered an evacuation, then it is necessary." Ji Kuan signaled Baisha to take his men away first and continue to guard the area around the Meng Mansion in secret.

Baisha took the order and led his men out of the alley.

Ji Kuan and Bai Zhuo were left with the remaining East Palace guards to deal with the smell of rust that filled the alley.

When Meng Renping returned to the Meng Mansion, he immediately confirmed with the doorman and learned that Meng Shisan had indeed brought Chang'an back home. Hearing this good news, his steps became much lighter as he walked quickly to the backyard.

Meng Shisan returned to Taichen Courtyard. After taking a bath and changing her clothes, she sat quietly in Mingxiao Hall, waiting for her eldest cousin to arrive.

When she returned home, Gao Jin informed her that her eldest cousin had gone out with Gao Yuan to pick her up.

In this case, the eldest cousin must have witnessed her masterpiece in the alley with his own eyes, and he would have to come home immediately to ask her about everything that happened tonight.

After returning home, Chang'an took Meng Shisan's blood-stained whip and his own double swords, went to the well in the yard to fetch water, and used the cool well water and the faint moonlight to wash away the bloodstains himself.

While washing, Shangchun and Huang Jing were watching from the side.

It is difficult to describe the complex mood of Huang Jing while enjoying the spring. He admired the scenery with admiration and did not forget to ask questions.

But Chang'an turned a deaf ear to it throughout the whole process and didn't say a word.

Finally, Huang Jing had no choice but to run into Ming Xiaotang and repeat the questions she had asked Chang'an, which Chang'an had not answered, to Meng Shisan.

Meng Shisan didn't want to say the same thing twice, so he said, "Be patient."
