Chapter 101: Rapidly Changing
Wen Chengming had just filled the water bag when he turned around and saw Li Kui quietly approaching Wen Liyu. He opened his mouth.
"Sister, be careful behind you!"
Wen Liyu panicked and reached for her waist, swung it. A crisp whip sounded and the whip tail bounced back and hit Li Kui hard, and he immediately made a stupid sound.
"Wen Liyu! You stinky bitch, I really gave you face, I think you are dead today!"
The whip sounded the hunting call. Cheng Weiyao didn't care about the water bag in the pool and took a few steps forward to hug Wen Chengming in her arms, but her way was blocked by Chen Er who jumped out.
"Where are you going? Your opponent is me."
Chen Er deliberately lowered his voice, and his right hand holding the long knife turned slightly. The cold light reflected on Cheng Weiyao's face, making her look solemn and indifferent.
As long as we can tie up Cheng Weiyao and Wen Liyu, two young and strong ones, one is a middle-aged woman and the other is a baby, won’t it be a matter of minutes to capture them?
After Chen Er and Li Kui took the lead, the rest of the officers also took action, holding their long swords in their hands, looking like they were ready to kill anyone who stood in their way.
"It's easy to talk about it. I'm old and can't do anything..."
The imperial concubine knew that she could not get away with it, and when she saw the remaining officers surrounding her, she simply sat quietly on a big rock nearby, as if she were harmless.
On the contrary, Wen Chengming took advantage of his young age and short stature to move around in the dense forest like a lively loach. With his little hands, he pulled and released the iron slingshot, which hit the officials' bodies with a bang, and their faces became more and more ugly.
"You little bastard, don't run away if you dare, or you'll be in trouble!"
"Lululu~ Come and catch me if you dare! I'm so~ scared!!!"
The battlefield was divided into three parts. Except for the Imperial Concubine who was calm, the situations of the other three were quite tense, especially Wen Liyu, whose performance was even more fierce than Cheng Weiyao had imagined.
The lethality of the long whip prevented the reckless Li Kui from getting close to her. She caught a cold for a while, but Cheng Weiyao knew very well that a woman's strength was limited after all. If a protracted battle was to be fought, the people of Prince Qingping's Mansion would be the ones who would suffer.
As soon as this thought came to mind, it was soon fulfilled. The officer who was originally guarding the imperial concubine had nothing to do, so he simply joined the battlefield against Wen Chengming. Fighting one against two, the little guy soon seemed to be struggling.
"You still have time to care about other people. It seems that if I don't take it seriously, I really can't defeat you!"
Chen Er felt offended. Every time he swung his long sword, it would be deflected by Cheng Weiyao's small sword. She estimated the distance accurately. Could it be that a grown man like him was not as good as a woman?
Chen Er was furious, and his swordplay, which had been somewhat logical, became chaotic. He acted haphazardly, acting on impulse. Cheng Weiyao was forced to retreat several steps by this desperate attack, half of her foot was in the pool, and the knuckles holding the knife were numb from the vibrations...
"Stop right there, or don't blame me for giving my brothers a feast for the eyes!"
Li Kui's furious roar disrupted the entire battlefield. Half of his eyelid bore a red mark, and the corner of his eye twitched. Wen Liyu, pinned to the ground with her hands tied behind her back, had her hair disheveled and was breathing heavily, clearly defeated by exhaustion.
The Imperial Concubine stood up nervously, but was forced to sit down again. Cheng Weiyao and Wen Chengming both looked nervous, and they moved quickly towards each other, standing back to back and nervously gripping their weapons.
"Don't worry about what I do, just take Cheng Ming away, my mother and I don't care."
Wen Liyu frowned, knowing full well that if she were captured, she would become a burden. Now that her sister-in-law and her younger brother had reunited, with her sister-in-law's abilities, she shouldn't have any trouble securing her younger brother back to their resting place...
"It doesn't matter? You go and give it a try. I mean what I say! Brothers, everyone who sees it will get a share!"
Li Kui was irritated by her stubborn appearance, and he tore off Wen Liyu's coat, exposing her fair skin to the air in an instant.
Wen Liyu's eyes were as fierce as a wolf cub, with tears in the corners of her eyes, but she still stubbornly said "go away".
"Sister!"
Wen Chengming's hand holding the slingshot trembled, and he wanted to rush forward and chop these officials into meat paste. The next second, a pair of warm hands rested on his shoulders, and when he turned around, he saw Cheng Weiyao's calm eyes.
"I won't waste any more time, little one. If you really feel bad for your sister, just walk over there. If you die, I'll let everyone else go..."
Chen Er wiped his long sword with the hem of his clothes and proposed a deal, but Wen Chengming frowned, obviously hesitant. He doubted the credibility of the officials' words.
"Never make a deal with an evil person..."
Cheng Weiyao's gentle whisper made Wen Chengming purse his lips. He naturally understood it, but the situation was now extremely dire, and he couldn't bear to watch his sister being abused.
"Let my sister go first, and I'll do it."
Wen Chengming's eyes became much firmer, and he walked in the direction Chen Er pointed. He took one step, then two steps. The closer he got, the more he saw what was waiting for him.
The water surface there was covered with dark green moss, and rotten trees that had withered due to lack of oxygen were twisted and tangled in it. There were even some bird and fish corpses floating in the water...
Chen Er raised his eyebrows slightly, signaling Li Kui to let Wen Liyu go immediately. He had a new respect for this little guy. If he hadn't received the money, he wouldn't want to do such a heinous thing. After all, he was just an ignorant child.
In order to reduce the psychological burden, it would be best if this little guy could end his life by himself, so it doesn’t matter if he deceives someone. As long as he dies, everyone present will die!
Seeing Wen Chengming getting closer and closer to the chilling swamp, Cheng Weiyao glanced at the Imperial Concubine, and the throwing knife in her sleeve was ready.
"Cheng Ming, don't get caught up in it!"
Cheng Weiyao held a flying knife in each hand, one flew towards Chen Er and the other flew towards Li Kui. The two men were caught off guard and were hit. Wen Liyu seized the opportunity and grabbed the whip that fell beside her and whipped them.
The situation was much more peaceful at the Imperial Noble Concubine's place because the officers had lowered their guard against her. She quietly used a long needle to pierce the necks of two officers. Because of the numbing powder on the needle, the officers fell to the ground and fell asleep.
The situation changed again in an instant.
"Damn it, how dare you trick me!"
After Chen Er was hit in the arm by the flying knife, he gritted his teeth, pulled out the dart and threw it with all his strength towards Wen Chengming, aiming directly at his heart.
By the time Wen Chengming reacted, the flying knife had already arrived in front of him, reflected in his dilated pupils...
