Meng Zi was carried in with an arrow lodged in his shoulder.

...

“Go. Summon Old Xue over immediately,” Tiger Might said to the guards.

“Carry him into the Tiger Base first.”

After Meng Zi was brought into the Tiger Base, a middle-aged man with a goatee rushed over with a medicine box on his back. He was the doctor in the Tiger Base. He was usually responsible for giving medical treatment to the people in the Tiger Base. Occasionally, he would go to other parts of the Tiger Base as a traveling doctor.

Meng Zi’s face was a little pale because he had lost too much blood. “Don’t worry. I won’t die for a while.”

Tiger Might’s brows furrowed even more tightly. “Don’t say anything. Conserve your strength.”

Meng Zi closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.

Old Xue cut open his clothes and examined the wound. The arrow had completely penetrated Meng Zi’s shoulder, and the arrowhead had protruded out from the other side. “This archery shot is quite powerful. Bear with it for a while. 1’11 get the arrow out first.”

Meng Zi took a deep breath and nodded. Old Xue took a pair of scissors and sterilized it over the fire. He cut off both ends of the arrow and slowly pulled out the remnant.

“Argh!”

Meng Zi was in so much pain that his entire body tensed up, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Old Xue quickly applied some medicinal powder to his wound to stop the bleeding and bandaged the wound.

Tiger Might sent someone to bring the medicine that had been boiled earlier for Meng Zi to take.

“How are you doing, Brother Meng? Are you feeling better?”

Meng Zi drank the medicine and nodded. “It’s just a small injury. It’s nothing serious.”

“Uncle Meng, were you injured by the people who followed us?”

Meng Zi picked up the arrow fletching that had been cut off and examined it.

“It was probably not the same group of people.”

“What do you mean?”

“At that point, 1 hid in the dark and killed the people who followed us. Just as I was tidying up the bodies, I suddenly felt a strong killing intent charging toward me. By the time I wanted to dodge, it was already too late.”

Tiger Might’s face tensed up. “Even you are unable to dodge it, Brother Meng?”

Meng Zi laughed self-deprecatingly. “I’m old, and my legs aren’t as nimble anymore. However, the archer must be an expert. His internal strength is very strong, and ordinary people are definitely not his match.”

“Then how did you determine that they weren’t from the same gang?”

Meng Zi raised the arrowhead and said, “The arrowheads of the Nan State are sharp and short. The arrowheads of the Chu State are flat. This arrowhead is a typical sample of the Nan State’s arrows.

“The people from the Nan State have also found their way here.

“The other party’s martial arts skills are impressive. I’m afraid that the Delusional Array Formation outside the gate won’t be able to trap them. It’s better to explain this matter to Madam Su and the others as soon as possible.”

Tiger Might nodded. “Mm-hmm. I will strengthen the defenses at the gate. First thing tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pass on the message to Madam Su. You should rest well since you are injured. In order to prevent your wife and son from worrying, 1 will send someone to explain the situation to them tomorrow.”

Meng Zi nodded. “Alright.”

Outside the Tiger Base, a black figure slowly walked into the Delusional Array Formation.

As soon as he walked in, he realized that something was wrong, so he did not rush forward. Instead, he observed the situation around him.

A moment later, he gave a sneer. “Hah! You think you can trap me with such a trivial trick.”

He took out the arrow on his body and used it as a rod. Then, he closed his eyes and slowly walked forward. His footsteps were very orderly as he walked in the array formation.

Number Five, who was standing guard on the gate wall, became wary when he saw the figure of the other party. This person was different from the previous ones who had forced their way in. He looked very cautious and seemed to know what he was doing. Number Five said worriedly, “Keep an eye on that person. I’ll report the situation to Afastress immediately.”

“Okay.”

After Number Five left the gate wall, he immediately rode his horse straight to Su Ying’s wooden building.

Su Ying and Xiao Jin had previously instructed that if anyone seemed to be able to crack the array formation, they had to inform them immediately.

Su Ying was awakened by an urgent knocking on the gate. When she opened her eyes and got up, she found that Xiao Jin had also sat up.

In the darkness, the two of them looked at each other silently and walked out.

The two of them had just stepped out when they saw that Wang Su had already opened the gate to let Number Five in.

“Mistress, Master, someone who seems to understand the array formation has barged into the array formation. I was worried that the other party would barge into the base camp, so 1 immediately came back to report to you.”

Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes. “I’ll go with you to take a look.”

“I’ll go too,” Su Ying added.

However, Xiao Jin stopped her. “There has to be someone standing guard in the house. You stay at home.”

Su Ying thought of the old and young people in the house and could only give up. “Alright. Be careful.”

Xiao Jin nodded. After entering the house and putting on his robe, he rode his horse and left with Number Five.

Su Ying only locked the courtyard gate after watching their back profiles vanish from sight.

“Is that Delusional Array Formation very powerful?”

“Mistress, you might not know this, but His Highness is very good at setting up array formations. There aren’t many people who can successfully break through the array formations he set up,” said Wang Su.

Su Ying was relieved to hear that. “If there’s anything, just let me know.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

Xiao Jin and Number Five sped all the way to the gate.

Xiao Jin dismounted from his horse and stood on the gate wall. He took out the night-vision binoculars Su Ying had given him and used them to look at the person below.

“It’s him…”

Xiao Jin’s eyebrows darkened at once.

“Master, you know him?”

Xiao Jin’s lips curled into a sinister smile. He would recognize him even if that guy turned into ashes. He was the number one archer in the Nan State. During the war between the two states back then, he had shot many arrows at Xiao Jin. Although he had dodged most of them, it was inevitable that there were times when he was careless. The two scars on his shoulders were left by this fellow. How could he not recognize this fellow?

However, although this person’s archery skills were impressive, his skill in handling array formations was nothing in front of Xiao Jin.

“Master, can this person break the array formation?”

“It won’t be easy.”

If it was just an ordinary Delusional Array Formation, he might be able to do it. However, Xiao Jin’s array formation was extraordinary. There was no way that guy could break through.

Nonetheless, this person must not be left alive.

“Open the gate.”

Xiao Jin walked to the gate with the short dagger Su Ying had given him. The guard obeyed his order and opened the gate.

Xiao Jin walked out and quickly melded into the darkness.

In the array formation, Nan Mern had been moving according to the pattern he knew. However, after walking one round, he realized that something was wrong. He had returned to square one.

This was impossible. This was clearly just an ordinary Delusional Array Formation. How could he not be able to walk out?

Just as he closed his eyes and was about to try again, he felt a strong killing intent charging at him like a ferocious wolf.

Nan Mern opened his eyes in shock and saw a very familiar face before him.

He did not have time to speak. In a panic, he pulled out the arrow behind his back to block the short dagger that was flying toward him. However, the force of the dagger was too strong, and the impact made him stagger backward a few times.

“Xiao Jin, you’re still alive after all!” Nan Mern glared at Xiao Jin. He was wondering why he couldn’t get out of this Delusional Array Formation. It turned out that the person who set it up was actually Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin grabbed the short dagger that flew back. The sharp tip of the dagger flickered with a steely cold silver light under the dim moonlight.

“It’s me.”

Nan Mern’s eyes widened as he looked at Xiao Jin standing up on his two legs. Didn’t the spy receive news that Xiao Jin’s legs had been crippled? In what way did his current demeanor resemble a cripple?

“Xiao Jin, you’re already an abandoned pawn of the Chu State. If you’re willing to submit to our Nan State, our monarch can guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and glory.. What do you think?”
