The Second Prince deftly untied Jin Ting'an and shook him, "General Jin, wake up quickly."
After calling a few more times, Jin Ting'an slowly opened his eyes, looked at the Second Prince, and said in a hoarse voice, "Leave quickly, and leave me alone."
“Everyone is…”
The second prince wanted to say that he had knocked the man down, but before he could finish his words, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.
He helped Jin Ting'an up and noticed that the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and his expression froze.
"Oh no, someone's coming."
"Second Prince, go ahead and leave me alone."
He is seriously injured now, and the Second Prince will only be a burden if he takes him away.
"Let's go out first."
The second prince helped Jin Ting'an walk out. As soon as they walked out of the tent, they were surrounded by a group of big men in black.
The big men were holding axes in their hands, looking ferocious and scary.
"Put him down."
The leading man stared at the Second Prince coldly, "Otherwise, I will take your life."
"If I let him go, you will kill me too."
"We won't kill you."
The big man snorted coldly, "The master said that everyone who comes here will be used to train special forces."
The Second Prince felt relieved upon hearing this and raised his eyebrows, "If you are training a special force, why did you beat him up like this?"
"That's not your place to ask. Just let him go and surrender."
The second prince helped Jin Ting'an sit down and took out a signal flashlight from his body.
"No, he's asking for help."
…
Xitong, who was waiting outside, received the signal and made an attack gesture. The soldiers received the order, picked up their weapons and followed Xitong into the valley. Only a few people were left to protect Du Shuyan.
"Do you think the people who come in can get out?"
The leading man stared fiercely at the Second Prince, "You will all become materials for the master to train special forces."
"My lord, they seem to have a lot of people."
A person behind them looked at the soldiers approaching them and whispered a warning.
The big man disagreed and glared at the person who spoke, "To have us..."
Seeing the huge group of people, the remaining two words "are there many" were swallowed back.
"Sir, what should we do?"
The big man looked at Xitong, who was in the lead, and laughed.
"A woman, what are you afraid of?"
As he spoke, he was about to put the axe across Jin Ting'an's neck to threaten him. Xitong saw through the big man's plan and swung the whip in his hand towards him like a snake. With a turn of his wrist, the axe in his hand had been swept away by Xitong's whip.
Xitong pulled back the whip, took off the axe, and threw the axe out with murderous intent in his eyes.
The big man looked at the axe that was getting closer and closer to him, his pupils dilated. When he came to his senses, the axe had already hit his chest hard, and blood splattered all around.
He looked at the axe nailed to his heart in disbelief, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight down.
The big men in black who were with him were so frightened that they kept backing away, as if Xitong could not see them.
"General, how are you?"
Xitong didn't look at those people, but ran quickly towards Jin Ting'an. Looking at the bloodstains on his body, her beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent again, and she swept her eyes towards the big men in black beside her.
"Who hit me?"
When they saw Xitong's murderous eyes, they couldn't help but think of the fate of their masters just now. Their knees went weak and they all knelt on the ground.
"Girl, please spare me. We didn't beat you."
"Didn't the injuries you inflicted appear for no apparent reason?"
Xitong helped Jin Ting'an up and ordered the soldiers, "Leave one team to deal with these people, and the others will search the valley to see if there are any survivors. If there are, kill them all."
If she hadn't been worried about the general's injuries, she would have tortured these people to the point where they would be worse than death.
"yes."
"They all say the general is dead, but I don't believe it."
Xitong helped Jin Ting'an walk outside, took some water and fed it to him, saying with red eyes.
"How can I die if I haven't done what I promised you?"
Jin Tingan looked at her distressedly and took her hand, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"I brought some medicine. I'll apply it to General Jin first, and then find a doctor to treat his injuries."
Du Shuyan coughed lightly and took out the prepared medicine and handed it to the two of them.
"It's all resolved."
The second prince came out with his soldiers and looked at General Jin.
"General Jin, how did you fall into their trap?"
Jin Ting'an sighed softly, "It wasn't these people who captured me. The people here aren't the main force. The fighting power of the people who captured me is not comparable to these people, and they don't seem to get tired."
"Could this be the special force that General Jin is talking about?"
The Second Prince frowned, "If there really were such a special force, they would be able to wear us out just by wasting their strength."
"Don't worry, Second Prince. These special weapons are still under trial. I heard that they tricked Thousand Divine Doctors into coming here just for the special weapons. This shows that their current special weapons still have flaws."
"Dr. Qian has also been captured? Where is he being held now?"
Jin Ting'an shook his head, "I don't know."
He was brought here dizzy and had no idea of the route.
"General Jin, you and Princess Xitong find a place to heal your wounds. A Yan and I will go find my third brother and tell him this news."
…
What the Second Prince didn't know was that the Third Prince had already learned that Doctor Qian had been captured.
Their men met Li Yunhe on the road. Li Yunhe arrived at the border before them. After meeting them, he told them all the useful information he had collected.
"Aren't you here to investigate the missing gold in Yueqing? Why are you here?"
"The gold was lost and moved here. I traced it all the way here."
The Third Prince threw a water bag to Li Yunhe and asked, "Have the border guards been controlled?"
Li Yunhe took it, took a sip and tightened the water bag.
"That's right, so we have to avoid the guards and find the lair of these nomads."
"Master Li, do you have any information about their lair?"
Li Yunhe lowered his eyes and played with the dogtail grass in his hand. "No, but I roughly guessed the location."
Based on his understanding of his master, the nest must be in a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
He looked up at the sky, and the facts he didn't want to believe condensed into evidence that he could not refute in every little detail.
In fact, until now, he still doesn't understand how his master became the man behind organizing vagrants, and even did not hesitate to use innocent people for these vagrants.
Noticing Li Yunhe's strangeness, the Third Prince whispered, "The person behind this is your master."
Li Yunhe laughed self-deprecatingly, "Yes, he is in the capital now. Your Highness the Princess should have guessed it."
"Luo'er had doubts from the beginning."
"That's good," Li Yunhe stood up and led his horse. "You have had a smooth journey, but those behind you are in danger. Master will not let your reinforcements arrive smoothly."
The Third Prince chuckled, "Don't worry, Lord Li. Luo'er and the Crown Prince have made arrangements and will not let the traitors succeed."
