Chapter 797 Lady Sui Steps Forward
The Laki people squinted as they watched Cheng Wanwan get closer and closer.
"Boss, this is Lady Sui, the Lady Sui who made countless contributions to the Great Yu Kingdom."
"That's right, it's me."
Cheng Wanwan stood a dozen meters away from them, her face cold and indifferent.
Pang Jie, who was lying across the horse's back, turned his head in disbelief and saw Cheng Wanwan.
The moment the Western Rong Kingdom launched its sneak attack, he witnessed Lady Sui fleeing. He thought to himself, "Women are indeed women. When faced with danger, they always hide. Even a woman of Lady Sui's stature is cowardly and afraid of death..."
But when he was scorning Lady Sui, she actually returned.
Knowing there was danger, she still came.
What is she coming back for?
Should we save him?
But he keeps causing her trouble, so why should she save him?
Cheng Wanwan had no choice but to come back.
First, she initiated this trip to Linxi, so she must take responsibility for any unforeseen circumstances.
Secondly, she is the students' teacher, and in the face of danger, as their teacher, she must be the first to step forward.
Third, and most importantly, she has a shopping mall system, which allows her to save herself in case of danger; she has the ability to protect herself.
“Since you’ve planted spies in the capital, you must know what the title ‘Lady Sui’ means,” Cheng Wanwan said in the Laki language, translating and reading aloud sentences she didn’t understand through the system. “I can increase grain production, I can ensure the people don’t go hungry, I can protect them from the bitter cold, I can ensure a nation never has to worry about food and clothing again. These two you’ve captured, though of noble birth, are twenty years old and have accomplished nothing. Are you sure their families would betray the Great Yu Kingdom for two good-for-nothings?”
“Trading me for the two of them is a worthwhile deal; the Kingdom of Laki won’t lose out.”
The leader of the Laki Kingdom laughed: "We have enough manpower. We'll just arrest you directly. Adults don't have to make choices; we'll arrest them all!"
Cheng Wanwan kicked up a sword that had fallen to the ground and held it directly to her neck: "Looks like you want a corpse."
The Laki people's expressions changed.
Pang Jie's expression also changed.
Although he couldn't understand what they were talking about, he could tell from their body language that Madam Sui was willing to trade her life for his and Li Jian's.
In his view, only one's own parents would do such a thing.
How could Lady Sui...
"Are you crazy?" King Qin grabbed Cheng Wanwan's arm. "If you fall into the hands of the Laki people, you'll be lucky to escape with your life. It's not worth it..."
“There’s no question of whether it’s worth it or not,” Cheng Wanwan said in the language of Dayu Kingdom. “I am a teacher and have the duty to protect my students. I must step forward at this time. Your Highness, don’t waste time here. Go and get reinforcements. Whether I can return unharmed depends on you, Your Highness.”
The King of Qin had a complicated expression.
For the first time, he realized how heavy the word "teacher" was, how it weighed on a person, leaving them with no choice.
He glanced at Mr. Zhang, who was standing not far away, protecting more than fifty students. Mr. Zhang was in his fifties or sixties, with a white beard and trembling hands and feet. He was clearly terrified, yet he was still using his old bones to protect the students' safety...
He took a deep breath: "I have already sent people to fetch reinforcements. I will stand with Madam Sui."
“Two for two,” the leader of the Laki Kingdom said to the King of Qin in broken Da Yu language. “Otherwise, there’s no point in talking.”
Just as Cheng Wanwan was about to refuse, the King of Qin nodded directly, threw down his weapon, and strode over.
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
She could have gotten rid of the Laki people by cheating, but with the King of Qin as a burden, she'll probably suffer some physical pain.
She sighed, threw down the knife in her hand, and walked over.
As soon as the two reached that area, the guards of the Kingdom of Laki quickly stepped forward and restrained them from the left and right.
Seeing that they had no intention of letting Pang Jie and Li Jian go, Cheng Wanwan sneered, "As expected of a petty country, you don't keep your word. With your limited vision, you still want to annex the Great Yu Kingdom? You're just dreaming."
As expected, the people of Laki could not resist the provocation. With a wave of their hands, they kicked Pang Jie and Li Jian off their horses, and then pressed the King of Qin and Cheng Wanwan down onto the horse.
King Qin had never suffered such humiliation in his life, and instinctively began to struggle. The leader of the Laqi Kingdom sneered and slashed at the back of his neck with the hilt of his sword. Before he could even cry out in pain, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
The Laki people mounted their horses and kicked them in the belly, and the cavalry of thirty or forty men quickly withdrew from the scene.
Pang Jie was thrown into the bushes, his face scratched by the sharp grass and trees, but he didn't care about that at all. He shouted, "Mr. Zhang, come and untie me! I'm going to chase after them!"
Lady Sui and the Prince were taken prisoner in their attempt to save him, and who knows how much suffering they will endure.
By the time reinforcements arrived, the Laki people had vanished without a trace. He had to follow them to find their hiding place...
Mr. Zhang nodded and rushed over shakily, but before he could take a few steps, his legs gave way and he fell. He was frightened and was only holding on by sheer willpower. Now that the Laki people were gone and there was no immediate danger, he could no longer hold on.
The students behind him rushed towards Pang Jie and untied Pang Jie and Li Jian.
Pang Jie busied himself searching for horses.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves echoed through the woods.
Immediately afterwards, a large cavalry unit dressed in black and wearing masks appeared before them.
All the students were like frightened birds, watching in horror as the men in black tumbled off their horses.
The first wave of the Western Rong Kingdom.
The second wave of Laki people.
Which country are these third wave people from?
The air still reeked of blood. The bodies of the five or six people who had died in the first wave lay scattered on the ground, staining the soil red.
The leader of the third wave, dressed in black, leaped off his horse, his brow furrowing sharply. He then pulled down his mask and asked, "What happened? Where's my mother?"
This person was none other than Zhao Sanniu.
He heard about the incident at Xiao Qin University and felt very sorry for his mother. When he heard that his mother had brought her students to Linxi for a spring outing, he immediately asked for leave and brought a group of brothers over, just to teach these people a lesson and see if they would dare to bully his mother again.
But what I'm seeing is different from what I imagined. How could so many people have died?
"Third Master Zhao!" Peng Wang recognized him and said quickly, "Madam Sui has been taken away by the Laki people, and they're heading in this direction. Hurry up and chase after them!"
Zhao Sanniu's eyes changed, and he quickly mounted his horse, taking the lead in that direction.
He was followed by about forty men, all of whom were his best fighters. They all had cold expressions and were running wildly, whipping their horses.
No sooner had Zhao Sanniu's men left than the men sent by the King of Qin to fetch reinforcements arrived. They went directly to the injured man in black who was lying on the ground groaning.
The man in black, spitting blood, said, "...Something has happened...The Laki people are lying in ambush in Linxi...Quick, quick, go save the Prince, save...Lady Sui..."
Pang Jie, who was standing to the side, suddenly understood.
The first group of people were not from the Western Rong Kingdom at all; they were arranged by the King of Qin. That's why Lady Sui and the King of Qin fled far away after the incident—it was a deliberate attempt to teach them a lesson.
When real danger struck, Mrs. Sui stepped forward and protected all her students.
Although she was a woman, her courage was no less than that of any man...
