On the way the three of them walked back to the room to get their luggage, Cao Yi'er explained in detail to Yu Yilian and Nie Xiaoxiao the meeting he had just had with Wei Xun, the local leader of the Huai'an Beggar Clan. He also told them that this time they could only

You have to do this on your own. There are spies from the Beggar Gang inside, and there are imperial envoys and high-ranking officials outside. You must be extra careful during this trip.

The inn is narrow in front and long in the back. It was a former wealthy businessman's compound that the inn owner renovated. It has a long corridor that connects the front canteen to the inn's living area. The three of them were discussing while walking along the long corridor. Next to it was a lotus pond, accompanied by the croaking of frogs.

Nie Xiaoxiao asked: "Then we receive Fangyuan Lake, what is the next plan?"

"Take Fangyuan Lake on the boat, take the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and go straight down to Hangzhou. We will meet Sister Yixin there and then send her out to sea."

"When will the action take place?" Yu Yilian's eyes lit up, and she was excited to start her first assassin family mission.

"Take your things and leave."

The three of them packed their bags, got on their horses, and headed towards the temple. Not long after they left, they were blocked by a group of government officials holding sticks. "Get out of the way, wait a moment, and let the adults pass first."

I saw the Huai'an government officials clearing the busy streets. A row of officials were holding three-foot-high black cloth flags. The first one said Eunuch Bingbi, and the second one said Eunuch Three Treasures. There were countless black flags behind it.

The flags were written with official positions and flags of various sizes. Behind the motorcade, there was a man riding a particularly tall white horse, with a knife-wielding guard holding the horse's rope beside him. This man was wearing a black silk mask, so he could not see clearly.

He has a clear face and is slightly shorter than ordinary people. He wears a red beanie with black edges and a bright red python suit.

"Is this person... the Sanbao eunuch... Zheng He? Is he Ma Erbao's younger brother?" Nie Xiaoxiao stood in the crowd, but could see clearly. When this person approached them, Nie Xiaoxiao gritted his teeth and spoke.

, even his voice trembled.

"Looking at these flags, it should be that the high official of the imperial court that Wei Xun mentioned was him. He is a celebrity around the current emperor. But wasn't the Sanbao eunuch ordered to go overseas for diplomacy? Why did he appear in Huai'an at this time?" Cao Yi'er said.

It turned out that this time Zheng He returned to the capital to report on his duties and returned to Yingtian City. As soon as he returned to the capital, Emperor Yongle asked him to come to Huai'an to hunt down Fang Xiaoru's descendants. Yao Guangxiao was also happy to see the success and agreed to send Zheng He out of the capital to perform his mission.

"They said that Ma Erbao killed my father. Zheng He was Ma Erbao's younger brother. His original name was Ma Sanbao." Nie Xiaoxiao said bitterly.

During Emperor Jianwen's escape, Nie Xiaoping's father, Nie Xiaoping, finally died at the hands of Tiandi Luohua. Wu Yixin's father, Wu Shique, was later found out through investigation that Ma Erbao and Duoyan Sanwei also died at the scene.

The Blood Eagle, Afterimage, and Extreme Leopard. And the one who is only one step away from Nie Xiaoping is Ma Erbao.

Ma Erbao is Ma Sanbao's brother. Zheng He's original name was Ma Sanbao.

No survivor knew what happened that day. Ma Erbao was already dead. Nie Xiaoxiao blamed Ma Sanbao for killing her father. Although she was young and often did girlish things with Yu Yilian, she was

Deep in her heart, she had this unresolved knot, and she always wanted to avenge her father and take back the pain of losing his father's love for ten years. Therefore, she missed people when she saw things, and she gritted her teeth when she saw Ma Sanbao.

Cao Yi'er was shocked. Previously at the Wu family, he had talked with Wu Yixin that there were several masters around the emperor. Among them, the whole battalion of Duoyan's three guards had died at the hands of Tiandi Luohua, and the other was Yao Guangxiao, who was the head of the Shaolin Temple.

And the secret knowledge of Yugugong. If Nie Xiaoping and Jin Fuli are not there, Yao Shi is the number one master today. Another powerful character is Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures. According to rumors, Zheng He is a Hui nationality, and his kung fu comes from the Delhi Sultanate. Ma Erbao

He is proficient in the Pi Liuli Cloud Spider Hand, and Ma Sanbao is proficient in the Dumo Luo Kung Fu, both of which are very powerful martial arts in foreign lands.

Cao Yi'er considered that if Zheng He led the army to capture Fang Yuan Lake, then the matter would be more difficult than imagined. After all, we have no masters who can fight against Zheng He, so we must be extra careful in this operation.

"Xiao Xiao, don't worry, we will act according to the situation. The three of us will definitely be able to deal with them." Yu Yilian comforted Nie Xiaoxiao.

At this time, Cao Yi'er smelled the strange aroma of burning. He looked down and saw that Nie Xiaoxiao was rubbing his hands together. Unknowingly, he used the internal power of his lamp-burning hands. This supreme mental technique, the number one in the Central Plains, once

When activated, there will immediately be the smell of burnt wood. Cao Yi'er saw Nie Xiaoxiao gritting her teeth and rubbing her hands faster and faster, fearing that the smell of her lamp-burning hands would get stronger and stronger and leak out in the public. He couldn't help but catch her quickly.

The two girls retreated.

Nie Xiaoxiao had no choice but to follow Cao Yi'er, but he kept looking back and staring hard at Zheng He's team.

When they finally reached a deserted place, the three of them took a short rest. Cao Yi'er advised Nie Xiaoxiao and Yu Yilian to avoid unnecessary problems and put the task first. In all matters, rescuing Fangyuan Lake should be the first priority. For revenge, there will be more opportunities later.

Nie Xiaoxiao calmed down a little and nodded slightly in agreement, but tears kept falling from his eyes. Yu Yilian took Nie Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Brother, you can't blame Xiao Xiao. If it were you and me, it would probably be unbearable."

The hatred of killing my father, right?"

Cao Yi'er didn't understand. But he had figured this out a long time ago. As an Assassin family, you will either die in the hands of this person or the next opponent. This is the fate of the Assassin family and the end of the members of the Assassin family.

He learned this from the death of his father Cao Shixin.
