Chapter 74 Escape
The pursuit was more fierce than expected.
After Yun Qingshui successfully broke through with more than 20 core members, they encountered at least a dozen waves of interception along the way. In addition to hooligans, there were security guards and supervisory guards, as well as some lackeys of the powerful people who had been driven away by them before.
Fortunately, there were no masters among them, and many people in Yun Qingshui's team had passed the national examination of Shangwu Academy, and some even had very high levels, and they beat them to a pulp in just a few moves.
They ran quickly towards the warehouse area where there were cars, otherwise they would not be able to escape on foot.
As soon as they arrived at the warehouse area, they saw a scene that made them shudder: hundreds of hooligans were looting supplies.
The vegetables they had carefully packed were thrown all over the ground. Mud, water, rotten leaves and broken stems were splashed everywhere when they were stepped on. They unloaded boxes of intact goods and loaded them into their own cars.
After the group attacked angrily and dispersed them, looking at the mess on the ground, Yun Qingshui and others were angry and heartbroken, but there was nothing they could do. They could only hurriedly get on a truck, step on the accelerator to the bottom, and drive east to Mingzhou, where they had many brothers.
But they had only driven a few miles when they were stopped by state police who wanted to inspect their cargo.
"What should I do, Sister Yun?"
The butcher whispered to Yun Qingshui.
Yun Qingshui was silent for a while: "Don't move, I'll go negotiate." He jumped out of the car and went to negotiate with the state police alone.
She thought it would only cost a small amount of money, but she didn't expect the three state troopers, seeing her beauty, to offer to accompany them to a nearby motel for a few hours, or they would seize the truck and all the goods.
Before Yun Qingshui could say anything, the butcher jumped out of the car, punched the leading, grinning state trooper in the head, and with his arms outstretched, he grabbed the other two state troopers by the neck and lifted them up like chickens.
"Don't kill them!" Yun Qingshui shouted hurriedly.
But it was too late, the two men's necks had been broken.
Throwing the corpse away, the butcher scratched the back of his head.
"Sister Yun, I'm sorry."
Yun Qingshui sighed: "Forget it, let's go."
After hastily dealing with the body, the group continued on their way. After running for less than an hour, they just turned onto the main road and saw a group of armed soldiers and police in front of the toll station.
Oh no.
Yun Qingshui knew that the matter must have been exposed. Perhaps they found that they could not contact the three state police, or perhaps someone found the body.
State police are not ordinary security forces, nor are they under local control. They are affiliated with the military and are under the dual management of the state government and the military.
Because of the right to bear arms, the killing of a state trooper is a major case and must be investigated thoroughly.
"No, we have to turn around and take the small road, detouring from Tianzhou to Mingzhou."
But after walking for a while, the pursuers from Qingcheng arrived and Yun Qingshui was forced to turn around again.
Despite his superb driving skills, it was very difficult for the truck to outrun the off-road vehicle with a truckload of cargo and more than twenty people on it.
Despite the continuous collisions, the truck was finally stopped. A security guard standing on the truck shouted into a loud speaker:
"Get out of the car! Hand over the contact book and code book! I'll spare your lives!"
Yun Qingshui only said one word briefly.
"beat."
A group of people jumped out of the car. This battle was extremely brutal. The opponent was obviously well prepared. Except for guns, they had everything. There were more than 20 cars and about a hundred people on the other side. Many of them were martial artists, and there were many masters among them.
There are only about twenty people on our side, and more than half of them are unarmed.
In the end, they won the battle, and only a few stray dogs were left barking and fleeing in panic.
But almost everyone in the group was injured, and some were seriously injured.
"What should I do, Sister Yun?"
The butcher asked, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Yun Qingshui was only stabbed in the right arm and was hastily bandaged. However, the Red Sparrow in front of her was stabbed more than a dozen times, but fortunately, no vital parts were injured.
Yun Qingshui had stopped the bleeding and bandaged her wound. She was not in immediate danger of life, but she still needed to go to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise she might become disabled or even die.
She stood up, glanced around, and whispered, "We can only go north first."
To the north is Hangu Pass, through which you can reach Changshan County, Xihu City, Yangshan Prefecture or Hanpingdu.
But when they were still a few miles away from the checkpoint, they spotted a large number of military and police officers from afar.
It was obvious that Hangu Pass had been blocked long ago.
"Then we can only take the small road." Yun Qingshui said with a worried look on his face.
The path is to the west of Hangu Pass. It is an extremely hidden road that can bypass Hangu Pass and directly reach Changshan County.
But precisely because of this, no one knows about it - who would go to a place even poorer and more remote than Qingcheng?
Yun Qingshui parked the truck in the woods, and the group headed into the mountains, carrying the wounded and dragging large and small bags.
The road was difficult to walk on, with thorns everywhere and gravel and gullies everywhere, but no one complained.
Halfway through the journey, pursuers arrived.
Yun Qingshui and others were forced to leave the wounded behind and ambush on the road.
The pursuers were obviously not elite. They made noisy footsteps, shouted loudly along the way, complained about everything, and had no intention of concealing themselves at all.
Therefore, when they were suddenly attacked violently, they collapsed faster than ever before.
After dispersing the pursuers, Yun Qingshui became even more worried. It was obvious that they had been exposed.
"Hurry, carry the people on your back, let's go."
The group ran furiously, not caring about the thorns that scratched their legs and feet and the branches that cut their cheeks. But after all, they had experienced many battles and their physical strength was long gone. They only relied on their willpower to persevere.
As the sun set, suddenly, Yanshi Liu Henshi shouted, "Sister Yun! Sister Yun! Haiyan is dying! She's almost dying!"
Yun Qingshui turned around and took a quick step forward, holding her pulse with one hand and checking her breath with the other, only to find that her pulse was very weak and her breathing was very light.
Suddenly, Haiyan vomited a large mouthful of blood, the blood was bright red. Yun Qingshui gently touched her abdomen and her face changed drastically.
"Oh no! The ribs pierced her stomach. She needs surgery as soon as possible!"
"Yanshi, hand her to me. My hands will be steadier."
The group ran for their lives and finally ran out of the mountain road before the sun set. Not far away was a slightly prosperous town.
That is the only civilized area in the entire Changshan County:
Huaizhen.
But when they entered the town, they were stopped by the sheriff.
"Who are you?"
The sheriff asked vigilantly when he saw that all of them were injured and covered in blood.
Yun Qingshui took a deep breath, knowing full well that a conflict couldn't happen now, and forced a smile:
"Sir, we are merchants from out of town. We originally wanted to come to Huaizhen to do business, but we encountered robbers on the way. We had a hard time escaping. Several of our companions were seriously injured. I wonder if you can make some concessions?"
After a wink, a short man came out, smiling, bowing repeatedly, and took out a stack of money from his pocket.
But when the sheriff saw the money, his face suddenly changed. He took several steps back, blew his whistle, and shouted, "Catch these suspicious guys!"
Yun Qingshui never expected this to happen. She was not sure whether this was a new extortion tactic. While she was hesitating, more than a dozen security guards surrounded her.
Yun Qingshui was anxious. She could feel Haiyan's life in her arms slipping away quickly. Apart from Huai Town, there was only one Class A hospital in Xihu City, thirty miles away.
"Sir, don't misunderstand me! My accomplice's life is in danger, and I just want to save her! Please do me a favor, and I will reward you handsomely!"
As soon as the word "high reward" came out, the sheriff wanted to cover his ears and ran away, shouting: "Catch them! Catch them quickly!"
More than a dozen security guards rushed up, but even though Yun Qingshui and his group were wounded and exhausted, they could not be captured by these miscellaneous soldiers.
In just ten seconds, the security guards were lying on the ground.
The sheriff showed a look of joy and shouted, "It is indeed a gangster from outside. He dared to bribe me and try to sneak into Huai Town! It is simply wishful thinking." He turned and ran, shouting all the way, wishing that the whole world would know that he refused the gangster's bribe.
The butcher asked, "Sister Yun, what should we do?"
Yun Qingshui had never encountered such a situation before, and was in a dilemma and couldn't make a decision.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's too late to turn back now. Not only can Haiyan not hold on, I'm afraid the other brothers and sisters can't hold on either. We are here. They must have some conditions. We just need to endure it, as long as we can save our brothers' lives."
"Okay, I'll listen to the big sister."
Everyone in the group nodded.
"Sister Yun is right."
"It's nothing to endure humiliation for a moment."
Soon, a large number of security guards, supervisory guards, and even armed imperial soldiers arrived.
Yun Qingshui was shocked and thought to himself, "It's really different when you have the power to command."
An old man in his fifties parted the crowd and came up.
"I am Ma Baojia, the senior sheriff and leader of Hunyuan Pili. Who are you?"
Yun Qingshui hesitated for a moment, but still gave his real name.
"The third daughter of the Yun family, Yun Qingshui, the Taihu Lake Dragon."
The old man glared and said, "Taihu Flood Dragon? It's just a name!"
He wanted to show off his power in front of everyone so that he could be used by the county governor. After all, this was a critical moment. He said, "If you can withstand three of my blows, I will let you into town. Otherwise, surrender yourself and avoid a fight. How do you do that?"
Yun Qingshui was delighted and immediately agreed: "Okay!" He gently handed Haiyan to Yanshi, strode into the arena, and said with the courtesy of a junior: "Senior, please come in!"
Ma Baojia arrogantly stepped into the arena and slowly raised his palm: "Watch out, youngster. If you can't resist, tell me. I will show mercy."
Yun Qingshui bowed and said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior." She exhaled slowly, regulating her breathing, her whole body tense, staring at his palm with a high degree of concentration.
The people behind were all extremely nervous. Although they had great confidence in the big sister, she was in very bad condition after all. Although they had never heard of the leader of Hunyuan Pili, judging from his extraordinary demeanor, he was obviously a master.
"Watch carefully!"
Ma Baojia slashed down with his palm, and Yun Qingshui thought to himself, "Why is it so slow? Is he gathering strength? Or is this a feint? It feels like there's no power, and the movements are full of flaws. Is he trying to lure the enemy?"
Yun Qingshui's mind raced, and he didn't see through the palm strike. He thought, "I'll pretend to attack first, and see how he reacts before making a decision."
Suddenly he turned sideways, took a step forward, and shot out with his right fist from under his ribs, hitting him directly in the eye socket. His left hand was ready for defense, and at the same time he lowered his shoulders and tilted his waist, waiting to relieve the force.
Bang!
The right fist hit Ma Baojia right in the eye and he fell to the ground.
