The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1695: Chapter 1695: Yi’er, You Know Martial Arts?!

Meng Yunzheng was inside the first cage at the entrance. The cage held an injured tiger, but by now the tiger had already breathed its last, its body completely concealing Meng Yunzheng.

Seeing the people leave, he leapt out of the cage.

He glanced back at the now closed main gate, letting out a silent chuckle.

Steward Guo had the people shut the main gate, intending to catch the thief by closing the doors, oblivious to the fact that Meng Yunzheng and his companion also wanted to close the door to beat the dog.

He held several chains in his hand, nonchalantly securing and locking the main gate.

The main gate differed from the other doors; it was an iron door, likely designed to prevent beasts from escaping and causing accidents, hence it was heavy and sturdy.

Meng Yunzheng wrapped several layers of chains around it. Unless Steward Guo had a dagger or sword capable of slicing through iron like mud, the lock wouldn’t be opened any time soon.

After finishing, Meng Yunzheng turned around, silently making his way into the Beast Camp.

On the way he encountered two mountain bandits searching for people. Upon seeing his unfamiliar face, their eyes widened, but before they could ask or alert, Meng Yunzheng swiftly slit their throats.

These mountain bandits weren’t particularly skilled, only the three underlings beside Fifth Guo were experts.

However, if he teamed up with Xia Yi, taking them down wouldn’t be a problem.

Meng Yunzheng cautiously proceeded forward. However, he was eventually spotted, and when he reached the middle, someone shouted out loudly, ”Who are you?”

Meng Yunzheng paused, looking at a mountain bandit standing in the shadows to the right of an iron cage, narrowed his eyes, and with a raised hand, struck with his sword.

When he withdrew his sword, a figure lunged towards him swiftly.

Meng Yunzheng immediately raised his hand to meet the attack.

With a ’clang’, blades collided and quickly separated.

Meng Yunzheng took a small step back, then abruptly surged forward, instantly clashing with the assailant.

After two moves, another person lunged at him.

Two against one, Meng Yunzheng’s movements were somewhat hindered, but it wasn’t a major issue.

At that moment, several figures slowly emerged from behind.

Fifth Guo frowned at the trio exchanging blows. Although he himself had little martial skill, his three underlings were skilled. He had assumed two against one would be an easy task, but to his surprise, the opponent was handling them with ease?

Fifth Guo’s expression was serious, and he instructed the third henchman who was holding Xia Yi, ”You go too. Finish this quickly.”

”Yes.” The man responded, releasing Xia Yi and preparing to strike.

Unexpectedly, just as he drew his sword, he was hit abruptly on the back, causing him to stagger forward and nearly collide with the iron cage in front.

Fifth Guo’s gaze, which had been fixed on Meng Yunzheng and the others, suddenly snapped back in disbelief as he looked at Xia Yi, whose demeanor had changed dramatically.

”Yi’er, you know martial arts...”

Xia Yi ignored the henchman, raising her hand to attack Fifth Guo.

However, Fifth Guo was quick to react. He swiftly grabbed someone who had been working in the Beast Camp and used them as a shield. After Xia Yi dispatched that person, Fifth Guo had already turned to run towards the door.

Xia Yi’s attack missed, and she wanted to chase, but the henchman had already recovered, blocking her way with his sword.

Xia Yi had to step back and deal with the person in front first.

She had no weapon, so she quickly pulled the hairpin from her hair. Originally, she wasn’t allowed to have such sharp objects while imprisoned, but she had visited Qiao Rou earlier, charming her with a few words into gifting her the hairpin.
