Chapter 316 Exposure
The spy realized he had been exposed, and his disguise vanished instantly.
The Daliang accent that he had deliberately imitated had also disappeared, replaced by a strong foreign accent.
"So Your Highness has discovered it?" He no longer concealed himself, his eyes turning sinister and fierce, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of his mouth. "Then don't blame me for being impolite. Obediently come with me, and you'll suffer less. Otherwise..."
His gaze swept over Jiang Huan's slender neck, the threat in his eyes was self-evident.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pounced on Jiang Huan.
With swift movements like a leopard, his five fingers formed claws as he aimed straight for Jiang Huan's shoulder, clearly intending to capture her alive.
Jiang Huan's heart was pounding in her chest, but the extreme danger was like a bucket of cold water, waking her from her dazed state.
Don't panic, the more panicked you are, the faster you'll die.
She quickly scanned the inside of the tent. A direct confrontation was absolutely out of the question; she had to outsmart the enemy and buy time.
Just as the spy lunged forward with a sinister grin, Jiang Huan grabbed the nearest map and tossed it forcefully.
The leather map unfolded instantly, precisely covering the other party's head and face.
The spy clearly hadn't expected her to pull this stunt; his view was blocked, and his movements faltered.
Jiang Huan wanted this moment of delay. She took the opportunity to crouch down and nimbly slip under the other person's arm, heading straight for the thick wooden pillar supporting the tent in the center.
There's nowhere to hide in this house, so I'll have to use this pillar to save my life for now.
Jiang Huan began running wildly around the pillar, using it as a shield to maneuver against the spy.
The Northern Di spy was clearly not expected to use such a shameless fighting style. He was so angry that he kept growling. Several times, his attempts to capture her failed because Jiang Huan suddenly changed direction and dodged.
Jiang Huan was petite and agile. Coupled with her survival instincts that unleashed her potential, she managed to hold on for a time with her uncanny movement.
Unfortunately, the difference in physical strength was a major obstacle. After a few laps, Jiang Huan was already panting heavily, her chest was burning with pain, and her speed had obviously slowed down.
A fierce glint flashed in the spy's eyes. He spotted an opening, stopped circling around, and suddenly took a step forward, his large hand grabbing directly at the back of Jiang Huan's neck.
Seeing that she was about to be captured, Jiang Huan's brain cells were working frantically.
No, even the best footwork can't keep up with my stamina.
Moreover, the fact that this spy dared to infiltrate so openly shows that even if she managed to make a spark out of this broken pillar, Huo Lin wouldn't come back.
We must find a way to escape and get the news that there are spies in the camp out!
Suddenly, a jolt of electricity ran through Jiang Huan's heart.
Before setting off, she and He Ling spent a long time tinkering and exchanging for a lot of miraculous medicines. Some of them were kept in her pack, while others were kept close to her body in her sleeve pocket.
Even if it's not tear gas or biological weapons, buying time shouldn't be a problem.
Let's give it our all!
In a flash, she didn't even have time to dodge the large hand grabbing from behind, and quickly pulled out several packets of hemostatic and tissue-regenerating powder from her sleeve.
The delicate fingertips brushed against the back of her collar, stirring up a cool breeze.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Huan frantically sprayed packet after packet of medicine powder onto the man's face.
"Cough cough, what the hell is this! My eyes!!"
The spy coughed repeatedly from the choking, his vision blurred, and he instinctively reached out to rub it.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Huan dodged and rushed desperately toward the tent door without looking back.
In critical moments, studying medicine can save your life!
Regardless of its original efficacy, any medicine that can save lives is a good medicine!
A sense of relief flashed through Jiang Huan's mind. She flung open the heavy curtains and rushed out.
As expected, the two guards who were supposed to be standing watch outside the tent fell silently into a pool of blood, their fatal wounds on their necks shockingly obvious, clearly indicating that they had already been killed.
The sounds of fighting, the clash of weapons, and the faint screams in the distance seemed to grow closer. The firelight illuminated half the sky, but no one noticed the hidden danger lurking in the commander's tent.
Truly isolated and helpless.
Behind them, the tent flap was suddenly flung open again.
Although the Northern Di spy had red, swollen, and tearful eyes, and his face and neck were covered with scratches and bloodstains, the killing intent in his eyes was palpable.
He locked his gaze on Jiang Huan, as if she were prey within his grasp, and pounced fiercely once more.
"You can't escape!"
Jiang Huan felt a chill run down her spine. The same trick wouldn't work after two tries, so she had no choice but to run away again.
The night was pitch black and desolate. She couldn't tell which way was which, only that she had to stay away from the vengeful ghost behind her.
She ran with uneven steps, nearly falling several times, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of her throat.
Where are our allies?
With the road in such a dilapidated state, and her wearing a skirt, who else would trip and die if not her?
Jiang Huan gritted her teeth, gathered the hem of her long dress into a ball, and hugged it tightly to her chest.
Just as she was panicking and almost in despair, a very familiar but somewhat indistinct voice entered her mind.
[Press forward on the right, archers prepare, don't let a single one escape...]
"That Northern Di prince must be kept under close watch for me; he cannot be allowed to die."
I wonder how Jiang Huan is doing in her tent. With her personal guards protecting her, she should be alright, right?
After dealing with these bastards, I need to hurry back and check on things...
That chatterbox—it's definitely Huo Lin's inner thoughts!
Although it was somewhat ethereal and blurry, she could sense that the poor signal was due to the great distance.
Huo Lin himself should be perfectly safe, and the situation is still under control.
Huh?
Jiang Huan belatedly realized that the range of her inner thoughts that she could hear seemed to be getting farther and farther away.
Has her cheat ability received an epic upgrade?!
This realization was like a shot in the arm for Jiang Huan, unleashing her astonishing potential as she desperately charged toward the right front, where firelight flickered and shadowy figures loomed.
"Stop!" the Northern Di spy behind him roared angrily, quickening his pace.
Jiang Huan could even hear his approaching footsteps and heavy breathing.
However, at that moment, a sharp shout came from the darkness ahead.
"Who goes there? Halt! Get any closer and fire!"
Then came the sound of a bowstring being pulled back, and several cold arrowheads, illuminated by the torchlight, were aimed at Jiang Huan, who was rushing towards them.
"It's me, Consort Zhuang! We're on the same side! Don't fire the arrows!"
She used her last bit of strength to shout hoarsely, her voice distorted.
Almost at the same time, Huo Lin also noticed the situation here.
When he saw the "uninvited guest" the arrow was aimed at, he didn't have time to think and roared fiercely.
"Stop! All of you, stop right now!"
