The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl Chapter 1696: Steward Guo, Long Time No See

Xia Yi struck her opponent’s wrist with a hairpin, breaking the sword in his hand.

Then she swiftly kicked him over, picked up the sword from the ground, and lunged forward.

The opponent tried to block, but he was already at a disadvantage.

Xia Yi was a Hidden Guard by the Emperor’s side, and her opponent was rely one of the black market’s fifth steward’s subordinates. No matter how skilled he was, he could never be a match for Xia Yi. Within a few moves, she had pierced his chest with her sword.

On the other side, ng Yunzheng had also taken down one person. Seeing the situation turn bad, another, slightly injured, tried to escape to the side.

ng Yunzheng kicked him back and said to Xia Yi, "I’ll leave him to you; I’m going after Fifth Guo."

"Alright."

ng Yunzheng ran quickly towards the door, stabbing two mountain bandits who were trying to open an iron cage to release the beasts inside as he passed.

Fifth Guo turned around, his face changing dramatically. He had initially thought those n could buy so ti, and releasing the beasts might at least give them so assistance. Unexpectedly, Xia Yi and this man’s skills were so excellent that they quickly dispatched several subordinates.

To make matters worse, those bandits who were supposed to open the iron cage were so nervous that they couldn’t even undo the lock.

Fifth Guo had reached the door and was about to open it, only to find it tightly wrapped with chains.

He was shocked, and the wind from a sword was already pressing against his back.

Fifth Guo, relying on instinct, dodged to the left, narrowly avoiding ng Yunzheng’s sword, but his arm was still injured.

Fifth Guo rolled awkwardly on the ground, looked up at the tall figure before him, and nervously asked, "Who are you, barging into the black market like this?"

ng Yunzheng walked over to him and said with a smile, "Steward Guo, are you so busy you’ve forgotten ?"

Fifth Guo was stunned. He had felt a sense of familiarity before, and hearing the voice now, he exclaid in shock, "You’re, you’re ng Yunzheng?"

"It’s . Long ti no see."

ng Yunzheng had not expected Steward Guo to be an old acquaintance; he was the steward at the Jiangyuan County black market before.

Last year, ng Yunzheng had sought him out to buy that estate, but Steward Guo kept dodging, eventually selling the estate and the hill to Old Master Miao.

Over a year later, who would’ve thought he would beco Fifth Guo of the Changjin Prefecture black market?

Fifth Guo was astonished, carefully taking two steps back, and said with a dry laugh, "So it’s Young Master ng, but we have no enmity. Why get involved in such a ss here?"

"I didn’t want to either, but Jiang Kuanyu captured my uncle, so I had no choice but to co rescue him."

Fifth Guo exclaid, "He captured your uncle?"

He knew Jiang Kuanyu had captured soone, but since they weren’t from his division, he hadn’t paid much attention. Amidst the beast chaos, everyone around Jiang Kuanyu perished. He ran to Fifth Guo and suggested that the person they’d captured was targeting him, but he hadn’t ntioned it was ng Yunzheng’s uncle.

If he’d known, Fifth Guo would never have agreed.

ng Yunzheng was soone even his superiors dealt with cautiously. Before the grand plan was accomplished, contact with him was avoided unless necessary. Who would’ve thought Jiang Kuanyu would provoke soone from the ng family?

Damned fool, it seed he was trying to shift all the bla onto him, yet he wasn’t being wronged at all.

Fifth Guo’s eyes darted around, and he imdiately said with a dry laugh, "There might be so misunderstanding here. I didn’t know about this; I’ll have soone release your uncle right away."
