Qin Susu's hand moved slightly, the tip of the dagger aimed directly at the young general's back.

She knew that Ling Ba would definitely help her.

Even though Ling Ba was starving, his two followers were no match for him.

To escape, she must kill this man.

Then, with a soft "plop," Qin Susu struck—quickly and ruthlessly.

However, the young general noticed it and the tip of the knife deviated by half an inch.

She failed to kill the young general with a single blow.

Something bad has happened.

Qin Susu was annoyed. She hadn't expected that this young general was far more formidable than she had imagined.

"Ah..." The young man cried out in pain in his lower back, and his body staggered.

Looking around, he saw that apart from his two attendants, all his men had gone to the site of the explosion.

"What are you two standing there for? Seize this woman!" he ordered his two henchmen sternly.

The two attendants, who had been gazing into the distance, were startled by their general's shout and realized that he intended to assassinate them.

Their expressions turned serious, and they suddenly rushed towards Qin Susu.

At the same time, suddenly, Qiu Yan reappeared brightly in front of the young general, shielding Qin Susu from the two attendants.

"Young general, we meet again."

When Qin Susu saw Qiu Yan, she was both surprised and delighted, thinking to herself, "I didn't get to see Ling Ba, but I did get to see Qiu Yan."

"You...you're all in cahoots?" The Fourth Prince, he's going to rebel?

The young man was shocked, and his mind went blank.

Since you're all in this together, why not travel together?

"Quickly, grab them!" At the young general's command, Qiu Yan and her two followers immediately began to fight.

Seeing the attendant swing his sword forward, she subtly moved her toes, quickly bent down, and dodged the attack.

Then, the hidden arrows whizzed past and shot towards the two followers.

The young general glared at Qiu Yan, took a step, and the sharp pain in his lower back intensified, fueling his intense anger.

He swung his broadsword and swiftly slashed at Qin Susu's neck.

Qiu Yan, whose feet were entangled by the two attendants, saw that Qin Susu was in bad shape and quickly said:

"Susu, be careful!"

Since the two attendants had been stationed in the military camp for a long time, their agility was naturally exceptional.

They quickly dodged away, then simultaneously attacked Qiu Yan.

For a time, Qiu Yan and the two were locked in a fierce battle.

However, Qiu Yan's close-quarters combat skills were deadly.

Before long, the two attendants were at a disadvantage.

Seeing the young general's long sword swing towards her, Qin Susu quickly took a step back, prostrated herself on the ground, and with her slender fingers, swiftly grasped the young general's ankle and pulled hard.

However, due to physical weakness, it could not be pulled.

Seeing the young general swing his long sword, the tip aimed at her chest, about to stab her, she spun on the ground, forcefully flipping over and dodging the blow.

The young soldier slashed at Qin Susu's neck again.

In a flash, with a whoosh,

Qiu Yan subtly moved her hand, and the pebble shot out quickly, deflecting the young general's blade.

Immediately afterwards, with two thuds, the two attendants died from her hidden arrows.

Qin Susu gave Qiu Yan a thumbs up, "Xiao Yan, well done."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Susu seized the opportunity and suddenly swept her hand towards the young general's feet.

She originally intended to make the young soldier unsteady so she could seize the opportunity to kidnap him.

But because he was so hungry, he leaned straight back.

Fortunately, Qiu Yan helped him up from behind, and he was able to stand up with difficulty.

"That feint was well executed." The young general raised his long sword and thrust it straight at Qiu Yan: "Women should live in the shadow of men. Showing your face in public only leads to death!"
