She simply said, "You may have misunderstood something. It's just a small wound, not as serious as you say."
If she hadn't heard several whistles and signal flares coming from down the mountain, she would have immediately hidden in the space.
The people around the King of Chu are indeed difficult to deal with; last time it was Zhao Cheng, and this time it is Qi Shang.
The two have different techniques, but they are equally formidable.
However, now that the tall man is gone, these people can't set up the formation, so it's not as troublesome as before.
At worst, she could just hide in her spatial dimension.
Perhaps sensing her thoughts, Qi Shang coldly said, "Don't try to continue with your illusions. I can see that you won't last much longer."
The illusion last time took much longer to work than this time, clearly because the person was injured.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, then burst out laughing. She gripped the dagger and thrust it directly at the other person. "You might have misunderstood something. I just didn't want to bully you. After all, we need to leave a few survivors, right?"
After saying that, the figure disappeared again, and when it reappeared, there was another person lying in a pool of blood on the ground.
Qi Shang was shocked. His hand holding the broadsword trembled slightly. He was already injured and had been forcing himself to stand in formation with the others, which was already the last gasp of his strength.
Unexpectedly, they failed to kill the person.
This person's trickery was not as convincing as he had imagined; it seemed to have no limitations.
Seeing that he was distracted, Jiang Yimian chuckled and thrust the dagger towards his neck. "What, scared?"
Qi Shang coldly scoffed, barely dodging her attack, and roared, "Kill her!"
The remaining six rushed forward, but Qi Shang took the opportunity to dart into the woods.
Jiang Yimian sneered and chased after the other party, but the people in front of her blocked her way and wouldn't let her move forward an inch.
Looking up again, Qi Shang was nowhere to be seen in the woods.
That guy had already decided to escape, and with his renewed effort in using his lightness skill, it would be quite difficult for her to catch up.
She simply stopped where she was, raised her knife, and the three fell instantly.
Seeing this, the other four all tried to escape.
However, it was too late.
Jiang Yimian chopped at someone's neck, knocking them unconscious.
Just as they were about to chase after the other two, Lu Cijian had already brought them over.
Jiang Yimian glanced at him and, seeing that he was unharmed and alone, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Has General Wei already entered the city?"
Lu Cijian nodded, his gaze falling on her shoulder, where the bright red bloodstains were almost blending into her clothes.
His expression hardened, and he immediately stepped forward, looking at the wound on her shoulder, and asked, "Are you injured?"
Jiang Yimian glanced at the wound and simply smiled, saying, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
Lu Cijian pursed her lips and remained silent.
It wasn't until Wang San and the others finished disposing of the bodies and returned to the yamen with the three unconscious people that they finally arrived.
Lu Cijian remained silent, only instructing a team to continue searching the area around the mountain for the whereabouts of the others.
Jiang Yimian assumed that the other party was worried about General Wei.
Wei Jinghai was seriously injured. According to several medical officers, if he had been brought back any later, he probably wouldn't have been breathing.
Clearly, they had been hunted down multiple times before they arrived at Qingnan, and it's a miracle they've survived until now.
It's a pity about that Deputy General Jiang; we don't know if he's dead or alive.
Jiang Yimian went into her room and was about to change her clothes.
There was a knock on the door.
Lu Cijian's voice rang out from outside, somewhat muffled, "Mianmian, it's me."
Jiang Yimian opened the door, looked at the unusually silent face, and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with General Wei?"
She just saw it; almost all the medical officers went.
She had taken a quick look at him on the mountain; his body was covered in wounds and blood, which was quite gruesome.
Lu Cijian didn't say anything and went straight into the house.
Jiang Yimian was stunned for a moment, then closed the door and heard Lu Cijian say, "I'm sorry, Mianmian, I've hurt you again."
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, then burst out laughing. She pulled Lu Cijian to sit on the soft couch, leaned closer, stared at his face, and said with a smile, "What does this have to do with you, Lord Lu? You think too highly of yourself."
Please don't take on everything yourself, okay?
I injured myself on purpose.
Given the circumstances, how could she have dealt with those people if she hadn't deliberately taken that knife?
That formation was indeed strange. If she had only been able to dodge, she would have been killed by those swords sooner or later. If it weren't for her spatial ability, she would probably be dead already.
Fortunately, at the last moment, they saw the flaw in the formation and directly eliminated those people.
If Lu Cijian had encountered that formation, she would probably have been injured even more severely. She was just glad that she was the one who lured those people away.
Lu Cijian frowned and looked at Jiang Yimian with concern, saying, "Let me apply the medicine for you first."
He shouldn't have let Mianmian lure those people away by herself.
Or rather, he should have brought more people with him to Qingnan this time; he shouldn't have come without a single bodyguard.
Surveillance of the Marquis's residence is not as important as protecting Mianmian.
Seeing that he was still clearly guilty, Jiang Yimian deliberately smiled and said, "Then you have to take responsibility for me."
Lu Cijian was stunned, clearly not understanding.
Jiang Yimian had already started unbuckling her belt.
The clothes that had been fitting snugly to her body suddenly came undone, and her neckline was wide open.
Lu Cijian quickly turned around, his back to her, and whispered, "Okay, I'll propose to Aunt and Uncle Jiang when we get back to the capital."
He should have been responsible for Mianmian.
Although he didn't dare to look too closely at the hot spring pool that time, he still vaguely saw it clearly.
Besides, he likes Mianmian, so naturally he wants to marry her.
