Chapter 235

Jiang Wumei regained consciousness, the sound of raindrops outside becoming increasingly distinct. A wave of pain coursing through her limbs and bones caused Jiang Wumei’s brow to knit tightly. Her perception of time was blurred; she had no idea what day it was. Her memories returned to that harrowing night. That night, she had left the inn, and the Secret Guards had escorted her forward, galloping rapidly along the official road. At first, this maneuver caught the assassins off guard, allowing them to put significant distance between themselves and their pursuers, earning a brief respite. However, Jiang Wumei was not skilled in horsemanship, and the Secret Guards were forced to slow down to protect her. Eventually, they were cornered by the assassins near a steep cliff.
