Chapter 747 Falling off a cliff

Qi'er took over from the coachman and drove the carriage, chasing after them with all her might. After Jiang Baozhu made the suggestion, she hesitated for a while, but finally held onto a sliver of hope that since her own people were waiting in Qincheng, the enemy wouldn't arrive so quickly.

Unexpectedly, men in black made their move beforehand, and she now has no idea which group hijacked the carriage.

Lin Yuesha cracked the car window open, and a gust of cold wind rushed in. She shivered and scolded Longjing beside her, "You came up with such a terrible idea. Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

“Miss, I’m a blabbermouth and didn’t know beforehand. If I had gotten involved, I might have been exposed.”

Longjing felt very wronged. Baicha and the others hadn't told her about their plan beforehand, but upon reflection, she realized that Baicha was the type who couldn't keep secrets, so it was probably best not to tell her.

Even in the darkness of the night, shrouded in moonlight, the road ahead was still not clearly visible.

"Qi'er, can we go any faster?"

Lin Yuesha urged them on, as the carriage ahead was quickly leaving them behind and becoming a small black dot. She was worried that they would not be able to catch up.

The fact that the other party's origins were unknown was what worried Lin Yuesha the most; she couldn't figure out the black-clad man's intentions.

“Miss, this is my fastest speed.”

Qi'er was sweating profusely with anxiety. Qingxing could hold out for a while on Jiang Baozhu's carriage, but now that it was moving forward, it could only mean that the man in black was more skilled than Qingxing.

"How about this, we'll stop the carriage, let Longjing hide, and you and I will chase after them on horseback."

Lin Yuesha made a quick decision: she had to go. Those people wanted her, not Jiang Baozhu. If Qi'er was no match for them, she could bring her back.

The other party's intention was probably not to kill them to silence them, otherwise they wouldn't have kidnapped them directly with a carriage.

"Miss, I'm not afraid. We can find a cave to hide in."

There are many caves in the rocks on both sides of the mountain. Longjing doesn't know kung fu and would only be a burden if she followed along, so she volunteered.

"good."

Riding a horse is indeed faster than a carriage. Qi'er found a place to stop the carriage and said to Longjing before leaving, "Those caves are where the locals bury their relatives. There are coffins inside. Before you go in and disturb them, please pay your respects."

Riding a horse felt much easier and more agile than riding a heavy carriage. As she closed the distance to the carriage in front, Qi'er had no choice but to turn around.

Lin Yuesha immediately noticed something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"Miss, there's a cliff not far ahead. We can't just rush in recklessly!"

Qi'er was not confident, so she had to prioritize her young mistress's safety and rushed toward one of the safer side paths.

When the master and servant caught up with the carriage, Bai Cha and Jiang Baozhu hid in one place, while the man in black was fighting with Qing Xing.

"Qi'er, go help Qingxing, leave this to me."

Lin Yuesha wiped away her sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully she arrived in time.

At the edge of the cliff is a three-way intersection, with a deep abyss below. Once the other party leaves, it will be difficult for us to catch up.

"Moonlight Maiden, why did you follow me here?"

Jiang Baozhu was both amused and exasperated. She had suggested changing the carriage because she was worried about Lin Yuesha's safety, but now all her efforts had been in vain, as the main character had arrived.

“Sister Baozhu, you’re all alone. If you stay here and there, there will be a hundred or so people fighting. I’m afraid I’ll get caught in the crossfire.”

Even with their lives hanging in the balance, Lin Yuesha was still spouting nonsense. Only Jiang Baozhu understood what she meant. The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling fortunate to have such a good sister.

After Qi'er joined the battle, she and Qingxing had a slight advantage in a two-on-one fight. However, just as Lin Yuesha breathed a sigh of relief, several men in black appeared at the crossroads.

"The city lord said to take Lin Yuesha away, alive!"

The group was speaking a foreign language, which Lin Yuesha understood.

"Sister Baozhu, you have to run! They're after me!"

Lin Yuesha nudged Jiang Baozhu and Bai Cha, telling them to split up and find a place to hide. One man in black was already enough to keep Qingxing and Bai Cha busy, let alone a few more.

Lin Yuesha knew who the master behind this group was: Yuwen Kun, the city lord of Sishui City, the one with the blue eyes.

Almost instantly, Lin Yuesha connected his appearance with that of Li Ruoshuang.

Yuwen Kun attempted to seize military supplies from the Great Qi, but after much effort, he discovered they were full of junk. Enraged, he returned them.

"no!"

Jiang Baozhu and Bai Cha stood in front of Lin Yuesha, refusing to back down, at least allowing her to buy some time.

"Get out of my way!"

The new group of people weren't in a hurry to make a move; they were more interested in watching the fight from the sidelines. Because of this distraction, Qi'er was stabbed by one of the men in black.

Who are you?

The man in black who had robbed the carriage was furious to see Cheng Yaojin appear out of nowhere. He was fighting with two maids when this uninvited guest suddenly appeared and took advantage of the situation, leaving him with nothing to show for his efforts.

"Were you sent by the Wei family?"

The person who came later informed him, "Miss Lin is the wife of the city lord of Sishui City. She is not someone you can mess with. Go back and tell your master to be careful not to get burned!"

Upon hearing this, the Wei family's assassin jumped out of the circle. Just when everyone thought he was about to withdraw, he suddenly leaped up and shouted towards Lin Yuesha, "If my master can't have her, you can't have her either!"

"Miss, something terrible has happened!"

Qingxing and Qi'er sensed something was wrong, but when they stepped forward again, it was too late. The Wei family's assassins had ill intentions; they weren't there to capture anyone, but to kill their young lady!

On the way, Jiang Baozhu kept screaming. The Wei family's assassins had called her "Lin Yuesha," probably unaware that they had robbed the wrong person.

In that instant, Jiang Baozhu had a sudden inspiration and shoved Lin Yuesha aside, saying, "Jiang Baozhu, why don't you run away? This has nothing to do with you!"

One sentence made the assassin even more determined. He grabbed Jiang Baozhu by the collar and threw her forcefully toward the cliff. Jiang Baozhu flew out in an arc.

Everything happened so fast that Lin Yuesha only understood the meaning of Jiang Baozhu's words after Jiang Baozhu flew away.

"Sister Baozhu!"

Not far away was a cliff. With the strength of the Wei family's assassins, they would surely push someone off the cliff. Below was an abyss. If someone really fell, they would be gone without a trace.

Lin Yuesha ran as fast as she could, trying to catch Jiang Baozhu before she fell off the cliff, but she was still no match for flying.

After landing, Jiang Baozhu rolled twice on the ground, but there was nothing around her to grab onto, so she could only fall into the cliff.

"Sister Baozhu, Sister Baozhu!"

Lin Yuesha stood on the edge of the cliff, the wind growing stronger. In her despair, she noticed a protruding rock below. Jiang Baozhu was clinging to a rock, her hands bleeding from the sharp edges, clinging to life by the last breath.

"Sister Baozhu, stop me!"

Lin Yuesha was overjoyed and stretched out her hand, shouting at Jiang Baozhu.

There's still a chance for her to survive since she didn't fall. We must pull her up before Jiang Baozhu runs out of strength.
