Chapter 798 Thank you, Madam Sui, for saving my life
The wind whistled past my ear.
Cheng Wanwan was laid sideways on the horse's back and was jostled around so much that she almost threw up.
She had been kidnapped once before, so she was experienced. Now, the most important thing was that she absolutely could not faint and had to find out where these bastards were hiding.
As far as she knew, this was the second time the Kingdom of Laki had ambushed them.
The first time was on the back mountain of the Beijing garrison, when Cheng Fang went to find He Xiao and happened to run into him.
The second time was this time, when we were lying in ambush in Linxi.
The trip to Linxi was only confirmed in the morning, and they set off for Linxi in the afternoon. It is unsettling that Laqi Kingdom was able to receive the news so quickly.
The influence of the Kingdom of Laki should have completely infiltrated the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Da Yu...
Cheng Wanwan wasn't a person of great nationalistic ideals, but she knew that if the country didn't exist, she herself wouldn't exist either.
Now that she's involved in this matter, she has to find out some useful information.
"You bastard dogs from Laki, stop right there!"
A familiar voice drifted through the wind.
Cheng Wanwan turned her head with difficulty to look back and saw a chestnut-red horse. The person sitting on the horse was Zhao Sanniu.
The Laki people were somewhat panicked: "Boss, the soldiers from the Great Yu Kingdom are coming after us!"
The leader said coldly, "I'll take the hostages and leave first. You lead the pursuers in circles, preferably to the dark pool, and capture them all in one fell swoop..."
"Hehe, the boss is really smart. If they went to the Dark Pool, these guys would be doomed."
Hearing their conversation, Cheng Wanwan's heart sank.
She saw on the map that there was a dark pool in Linxi. It looked like a shallow stream, but once a person stepped in, the foundation would sink and they would sink to their death in less than a minute.
San Niu had never been to Linxi before. If he were to be led to the Dark Pool, it would be a dead end.
She had originally intended to go with them to the Laki people's headquarters, but now she couldn't; she couldn't let San Niu take the risk.
Cheng Wanwan raised her arm, and an electric shock bracelet appeared out of thin air in her palm. She then pressed the bracelet against the chest of the man on horseback.
When the current is turned up to the maximum, it only takes a fraction of a second for the rider to lose his heartbeat and fall off the horse.
Cheng Wanwan quickly pulled on the reins and flipped herself onto the horse's back... Ever since she was ambushed by Princess Rongqing during her last trip to Linxi, she had been practicing her horsemanship diligently for a while, so this skill was not too difficult for her.
After the incident at her place, the cavalry of the Laki people were thrown into chaos.
"I never would have guessed that a woman could be so capable!" the leader of the Laki Kingdom roared. "Knock her out!"
Several horses approached Cheng Wanwan from the side.
Cheng Wanwan took out her crossbow, narrowed her eyes, and shot at the leader.
Knowing she was inaccurate, she specially installed a custom-made infrared sight. When the red light focused on the leader's forehead, she pressed the switch.
The crossbow bolt flew out with lightning speed.
The arrow struck the leader squarely between the eyebrows, and before the anger on his face could subside, he fell off his horse.
At the same time, Zhao Sanniu's men arrived.
He led more than forty men, who were evenly matched with the thirty or forty men from the Kingdom of Laki, and the battle raged fiercely.
Laki Kingdom lost its leader and fell into chaos, quickly losing ground. More than a dozen people died at the hands of Dayu Kingdom soldiers, more than a dozen were wounded, and only a dozen or so remained to fight back.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Cheng Wanwan rescued the unconscious King Qin and threw him onto Zhang Jinbao's horse.
As she turned around, she saw the wounded and fallen Laki people picking up the long knives around them and stabbing them into their own abdomens.
Her expression changed instantly. How could she forget that people in this country had a tradition of seppuku (ritual suicide by disembowelment)...
She immediately shouted, "San Niu, spare him, knock him unconscious first!"
Zhao Sanniu immediately turned his blade around and used the back of the knife to attack the necks of the Laji people, knocking them unconscious one by one.
But he was still a little too slow. He had only knocked out three or four people when the others had already cut open their abdomens, knelt on the ground facing east, and blood flowed like a river...
"Mother, are you alright?"
Zhao Sanniu dismounted and galloped towards Cheng Wanwan.
Cheng Wanwan was splattered with a lot of blood, and her clothes were stained red, which looked scary, but she was actually not injured.
Just as she was about to speak, a squad of guards arrived at lightning speed; they were clearly Qin King's men.
Behind the guards were Mr. Zhang and more than fifty students who had arrived in a carriage.
"Is Mr. Cheng alright?"
"Mr. Cheng, why are you covered in blood? Quickly, get in the carriage and lie down."
"Hurry back to the city and find a doctor..."
The students hurriedly carried the unconscious King Qin into the carriage, where Li Jian was also lying.
Then another carriage was made available so that Cheng Wanwan could quickly lie down inside.
"Wait a moment." Cheng Wanwan turned to Zhao Sanniu. "This is a serious matter. Take the prisoners back immediately and hand them over to your master so that he and the General of the Cavalry can interrogate them. Many of your men have also been injured; hurry back and get them treated..."
After confirming that Cheng Wanwan was alright, Zhao Sanniu turned around to inquire about the injuries of his brothers. Fortunately, none of them had died, and the one who was most seriously injured was still stable.
Knowing that this matter could not be delayed, he immediately ordered all the Laki people, dead or alive, to be tied up and thrown onto the horses, and the group quickly returned to the camp.
Cheng Wanwan also got into the carriage.
She had been jostled on horseback for so long and had exhausted herself; she was quite tired.
She sat on the soft cushion, leaning against the side wall, closing her eyes to rest.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the carriage: "Student Pang Jie thanks Madam Sui for saving my life. I will always remember Madam Sui's kindness."
Although the King of Qin also saved him and Li Jian, he knew that the one who stepped forward was Lady Sui, and that the King of Qin stood up to be with Lady Sui.
Cheng Wanwan lifted the carriage curtain and saw Pang Jie riding a horse alongside her carriage. She said gently, "In front of you, I am your teacher. It is only natural for a teacher to protect his students. There is no need to thank me. You have also been through a lot. Don't come to the school for the next two days. Rest well at home."
Pang Jie pursed his lips.
If it weren't for Lady Sui's son suddenly appearing, she would probably have really fallen into the hands of the Laki people this time.
Lady Sui is Lady Sui of the Great Yu Kingdom. If she is taken away by the Laki Kingdom and forced to work for them, he will become a sinner of the Great Yu Kingdom...
No, how could he think that way? Even if Lady Sui really went to Laji Kingdom, she would never betray the Great Yu Dynasty. She would probably rather die than betray her country.
For some reason, he was absolutely convinced of this.
Would he die in front of the Laki people out of fear that his family would be threatened?
Only at that moment did he realize that the one who was afraid of death was himself.
The convoy slowly made its way towards the capital. After entering the city, the Prince of Qin was taken to the Prince of Qin's residence, Li Jian was sent to the Marquis of Huainan's residence, and Cheng Wanwan naturally went home.
She wasn't injured, just exhausted. She slept on the couch for about half an hour and recovered.
Hearing her wake up, Zhao Sidan, who was sitting in the outer room, immediately came in: "Mom, you really scared me to death! Can we please not do this again..."
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "Okay, I won't do it again."
“Mother always agrees so readily, but she always ends up risking her life.” Zhao Sidan pursed his lips and said, “I’ll have my third brother send Mother back to Dahe Town tomorrow morning, and never let her come to the capital again.”
"You child, you're talking nonsense." Cheng Wanwan patted the back of his hand. "You go out first, I need to change my clothes, I have to go to the palace."
The Emperor and Empress, being considerate of her fright, will likely postpone summoning her to the palace for questioning until tomorrow or the day after, but she cannot be so tactless.
This is no small matter; the sooner it is reported, the better.
Zhao Sidan looked reluctant, but he knew he couldn't change his mother's decision, so he could only obediently go out.
