Ms. Doctor Divine

1818 Into Snow Territory 13
After spending two days observing the man, Ouyang Mingjing noticed that his hidden guards were organized and competent, despite some underlying anxiety. This sparked a sense of concern within him.

It was evident that this man possessed great potential.

Just as Longqing had emphasized, keeping him around would undoubtedly pose a threat to Snow Territory.
However, the timing was not yet ideal.

“Inform the Elders to arrange for our men to ambush in two days,” Ouyang Mingjing commanded.

Longqing had been worried that the honorable City Lord might not approve of the ambush, so he had prepared to carry it out discreetly, knowing it could complicate matters.

Yet, with the City Lord’s order, Longqing felt a sense of relief.

With the order in place, the plan would proceed smoothly.

The following days remained unusually quiet.

Silence enveloped them.

The hidden guards from Shadow Door had grown accustomed to the harsh coldness of their surroundings. Every day felt repetitive, consisting of constant movement and detours.

However, today…

A snow mountain unexpectedly collapsed. Although such occurrences were not entirely uncommon for the troops who had grown accustomed to them, they still experienced a tinge of heartache. They knew that City Lord would help them navigate around the obstacle, so their worries were somewhat alleviated, yet they couldn’t shake the bittersweet feeling of having to take another detour.

The people of Snow Territory often lamented the additional hours spent on these detours.

As they were preparing to address the collapsed snow mountain, a sudden group of troops appeared, catching Ouyang Mingjing off guard. The situation quickly descended into chaos, with snow and mountains blending together in a tumultuous scene.

The sound of combat erupted, alerting Gu Chaoyan to the unfolding disturbance outside. She lifted the drapery to peer out and confirmed the disarray.

Before Gu Chaoyan could fully comprehend the situation, several individuals rushed towards the wagon, only to be intercepted by the hidden guards stationed outside. Sword One and Lingyun remained by Gu Chaoyan’s side, instructed to ensure her safety. However, the hidden guards outside the wagon soon found themselves overwhelmed. In the midst of the chaos, a figure in white dashed into the wagon.

Zhou Huaijin stepped forward, attempting to stop the intruder, but he too became trapped by the assailants outside.

Taking notice of the chaos unfolding, Longqing swiftly guided the wagon to a different location.

Zhou Huaijin desperately sought to retrieve Gu Chaoyan, but he found himself ensnared.

Amidst the ongoing skirmish, another smaller snow mountain collapsed, burying Zhou Huaijin and a few of his men, including Fu Bao.

The battle raged on for another two hours before finally subsiding. Satisfied with the success of their plan, Ouyang Mingjing led his guards, along with the remaining hidden guards from Shadow Door, towards Gu Chaoyan’s wagon.

Ouyang Mingjing had no regrets about the arrangement he had orchestrated. To ensure the plan appeared flawless, he had executed the ambush without mercy, sparing no consideration for the enemies.

Even in such chaotic circumstances, he had managed to safeguard half of the hidden guards and ensure the safety of the girls in their ranks. Ouyang Mingjing realized that he had underestimated their resilience and capabilities.

If Zhou Huaijin had been allowed to enter the towns, it would have unleashed a whirlwind of chaos and turmoil.

Longqing and his men were waiting for them with the wagon, prepared for their arrival.

Inside the wagon, Gu Chaoyan anxiously lifted the curtain, eagerly listening for any signs of Zhou Huaijin’s voice. But to her disappointment, she failed to catch a glimpse of him.

“Where did he go?”
