One person felt a breath, their pupils dilated, "Dead...dead..."

Their eldest brother is the son of the local garrison commander. If something happens to him, how will they explain it to the commander?

One of them pointed at Qin Susu's figure.

“This woman killed our leader. Let’s capture her and take her back to the general.”

"Yes, grab her!"

"After catching them, have some fun with them first, then report back..."

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

"..."

These men were clearly stronger than the leading soldier from before.

They originally only intended to flirt with her, thinking of taking the woman back for their amusement.

At this moment, however, they were serious.

Two of them, one above the other, swiftly climbed up the tree trunk, heading straight for Qin Susu.

Despite her illness, Qin Susu climbed with her hands and suddenly leaped to another tall tree.

The soldiers then began their pursuit.

"This woman is quite capable; she must be a spy sent by Dongjin."

"It must be her. I just felt like I recognized her."

"..."

Qin Susu climbed up and down, and soon the carriage disappeared from her sight.

She let her guard down.

Their carriage was saved.

She leaped down from the tree and engaged in combat with the soldiers on the ground.

She hadn't recovered from her old injuries and didn't want to fight.

However, these soldiers relentlessly pursued her.

If they attract more soldiers, they'll be in big trouble.

Also, the clothes she's wearing are brand new clothes that Xiaoyan bought for her; if they get torn...

Just as I was thinking this, whoosh!

A bloody gash appeared on her shoulder, as if someone had slashed her across the ground.

"My clothes!" The pain in her shoulder made her feel physically aches, but the damage to her clothes made her heart ache.

Good heavens, I've been spacing out again.

Can't she concentrate even a little?

Qin Susu was secretly annoyed.

She gritted her teeth and kicked the soldier in the chest with a thud.

"Pay back, one and a half taels of silver!"

The soldier leaned back, rolled over, and said, "Come back with me, and I'll compensate you with money."

"Pah!" Qin Susu kicked again, ignoring her physical discomfort, and engaged in a fierce battle with the soldiers.

They were just lowly soldiers; in a real fight, they were no match for Qin Susu.

At this moment, their only advantage is that they have a large number of people.

...

When Qiu Yan and the others rushed back, there was a corpse on the ground, which was the leading soldier from earlier.

"Susu!" Qiu Yan was horrified upon seeing the corpse and quickly ran towards the carriage.

Inside the car, apart from the luggage, Qin Susu was nowhere to be seen.

Ling Qi was also alarmed: "Where did Ling Ba go?"

Qiu Yan glanced into the distance and exclaimed, "There it is!"

Ling Qi followed Qiu Yan's gaze and saw Ling Ba running towards them.

Soon, Ling Ba got close.

His face was weary, and his clothes were wrinkled.

"What happened?" Qiu Yan asked Ling Ba.

Ling Ba lowered his eyes and glanced at the corpses on the ground, feeling somewhat uneasy. However, seeing that the two people in front of him were unharmed, he relaxed.

"I just unfortunately encountered a group of soldiers. They were carrying portraits of me and Qin Susu and were searching for spies everywhere. I finally managed to lure them out of the mountains. Where is Qin Susu?"

"The person is missing," Qiu Yan said.

"Gone?" Ling Ba's body tensed suddenly. "Could she have been taken away by those Northern Qi soldiers?"

Ling Qi: "Let's look for it."

Qiu Yan, Ling Qi, and Ling Ba carefully searched for Qin Susu's whereabouts in the mountains and forests.

About two miles away, several corpses appeared ahead.

Beside the corpse, Qin Susu sat on a tree stump, her face covered in blood, clutching her stomach and retching uncontrollably.
