Chapter 133 Mission Impossible
Chapter 133 Mission Impossible
"I have already died once."
If her target is her, and she rides away, at least Xiao Rong's troops will chase after them. And his older sister will have no problem dealing with that group of half-baked bandits. At least the safety of those two men must be guaranteed first!
"Wu Ziyan, what are you doing!" Han Yuxiu shouted.
Ignoring the bloodshed outside, Fang Yuerong poked her head out and called out, "Master!"
"Don't worry, I won't die, and neither will anyone else!"
After saying this, he mounted his horse, with A-Qing following behind him. Xiao Rong's troop of soldiers, seeing her escape alone, were all focused on chasing after her.
Some of the soldiers recognized Ah Qing as the original Lu Aza. They hated the traitor even more, so they didn't hesitate and chased after them.
"Captain, that's the traitor Lu Aza!"
"This is a double achievement, so don't kill either of them. I heard that Wu Ziyan is a good-for-nothing, and although Lu Aza is somewhat brave, he's no match for so many of us!"
Wu Ziyan felt the jolting on the horse and her vision was blurry. When she looked back at the group of people, she could only see three groups. She was probably a little anemic these past few days.
However, their pace could never catch up with the horse; they were still much faster. But they weren't following the route on the map, so they didn't know which neighboring county they would end up in.
"Damn it, they're riding so fast, how are we supposed to catch them!"
While complaining, he quickened his pace, frantically chasing after them. On the other side, Wu Chengji, with a swift swing of his spear, knocked the bandit leader off his horse. His heroic figure captivated countless young men.
They used a gun to lift the bandit leader up, put him behind the horse, and without caring how many ribs he had broken, they hummed a little tune and ran back to the group like hunters returning from a hunt.
When those people saw that their leader had been taken down, they naturally laid down their weapons. They weren't any regular bandits, just some refugees who had no choice but to rob when they couldn't get food.
The guards tied up all the bandits. Wu Chengji looked around the crowd but didn't see the group of people with curved knives, nor did he see his fourth sister.
I got too excited during the fight and forgot that my fourth sister was still behind me. Those people with curved knives are no pushovers; they must have been trying to protect these people. My fourth sister lured them away.
"To protect us, the Fourth Prince lured away that group of minor Rong assassins and headed towards the fork in the main road ahead!"
"Damn it, I was careless." But she couldn't chase after them now; if she left, the backbone of the team would be gone. So she had to send a squad of guards to catch up with them.
Fang Yuerong and Han Yuxiu held hands tightly, afraid that something might happen to her, but when she left, she repeatedly told them not to wander around and not to cause any trouble.
Wu Chengji was the first to lift the curtain. Seeing that the two men were alright, she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why her fourth sister cherished these two men so much. She was willing to risk her own life to ensure their safety first.
He even said that their lives were his own, which was really incomprehensible. With a wave of his hand, he led the 20-odd bandits and continued to advance.
"Your Highness, what about the Fourth Prince?" Han Yuxiu asked again.
"I have already sent guards to search. Our top priority is to ensure our safety. We should disperse and move around. If something else happens, wouldn't that be a greater loss than a gain?"
They had their own considerations. The two of them sat in the carriage, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Wu Ziyan and A Qing ran and ran until their horses were tired, and they ran into a dense forest.
"They didn't chase after us?"
"Your Highness, no, they've left us far behind."
"Let's take a break first. We've been so focused on moving forward that we don't even know where we are now."
Ah Qing handed her a pot of water, which was ice-cold. She took a sip and felt much more awake. Just as she relaxed, she heard footsteps chasing after her.
"Damn it! How can they be as fast as horses!" Wu Ziyan cursed, pulling on the reins, ready to run again. But the more he ran, the more desolate it felt. At least he could reach the next checkpoint and have someone to help him, right?
Ah Qing said, "Zirsa's specialty is raiding in the wild. Bei Rong has been unable to take down Xiao Rong, largely thanks to his strategies on the border."
"She really is a damn talented person, but unfortunately she can't be used by me, so she's just mediocre!"
Wu Ziyan knew that running like this was not a solution. The horses were getting slower and slower, and eventually they would die of exhaustion. They would also be exhausted and hungry, and in the end, they would become lambs on Qiersa's chopping board.
"Ah Qing, listen to me!"
After Wu Ziyan finished speaking, A Qing was shocked. This was definitely not going to work; it was too risky. How could she do such a thing!
"Listen to me!"
Suddenly, the horse neighed, followed by the sound of the reins being pulled, and then a series of clanging and clashing sounds, which from a distance sounded like the clash of weapons.
Ah Qing deliberately raised her voice: "Wu Ziyan, you can't believe it! I've never betrayed Xiao Rong. I was just putting on an act. I didn't expect you, with your stupid brain, to actually believe it!"
Those in the distance could only vaguely hear some shouting, until Qiersa got very close and saw that Wu Ziyan had a knife to his neck held by A Qing.
Seeing this, she was also a little confused. The intelligence she received said that Lu Aza had betrayed them, but now it seemed that he hadn't.
"Captain Qi, I deliberately leaked the news of my defection to you so I could infiltrate her inner circle. Now I finally have the chance to get my revenge!"
Those who followed Qiersa were also unaware of the situation, but seeing that she had captured Wu Ziyan, they assumed she was one of their own and were about to step forward when Qiersa clenched her fist and stopped them.
"Be careful of fraud!"
Wu Ziyan laughed loudly: "Lu Aza, Lu Aza, what's the use of you working so hard to infiltrate my side? Your people still don't believe you! Look, even though it's just me, they're afraid to come forward!"
With such provocation, they became more convinced. Zirsa sent one of his men forward while he watched from behind.
Wu Ziyan asked A Qing to hand her over to them. She was extremely unwilling, but she said that as long as she was alive, she could always make a comeback, and they didn't seem to want to kill her.
"Lu Aza, you said you were an undercover agent, how come you haven't corresponded with us for so long!"
"Wouldn't that expose our communications?"
Wu Ziyan raised her hands above her head, looking somewhat foolish. She grinned and said, "I never imagined I would be the one to let a wolf into my house!"
Seeing that her heartbroken and resolute expression didn't seem to be feigned, Zirsa stepped forward, her eyes still revealing disbelief.
By doing this, Wu Ziyan at least temporarily saved the lives of the two men, because if they had faced their small group head-on, they would have been doomed.
Lu Aza handed Wu Ziyan to Qi Ersa: "Captain, the mission has been successfully completed."
