Chapter 117: Zhan Xiong's Apology
Apparently, Lin Xiaoyue's shouting had disrupted the fight inside the teahouse. Upon hearing that their general had been assassinated, the soldiers led by General Cheqi lost their will to continue fighting and wanted to go back to see what was happening. As a result, the situation inside the teahouse suddenly reversed, and the Silver Slash Guards immediately gained the upper hand.
At this moment, Zhan Xiong had already prepared a homemade bomb outside. He hurried back to the teahouse and saw that almost nothing was intact after the fight. He was so angry that he took out the homemade bomb and was about to throw it at the soldiers, "Assholes! You bunch of trash, I will blow you to death today!"
Lin Xiaoyue's timely appearance stopped Zhan Xiong's impulsiveness. "Don't do anything yet. If you blow it up, the teahouse will be gone! I'll lure them out first. Did you see that carriage? The General of the Cavalry is inside, but he's dead. You sit in the carriage. When you see the General of the Cavalry's men running towards you, use the homemade bomb to blow them up!"
Zhan Xiong was worried that if something happened to Lin Xiaoyue, he would not be able to explain to his master!
"Miss Lin, you hide, I can do it alone!"
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "No, do you know how to lure them out? Let me do it, you just wait in the carriage! Don't worry, I'll be fine!"
Zhan Xiong really didn't know that the fight was going on inside, and it wouldn't be easy to trick people out. "Okay! Miss Lin, be careful!"
After Lin Xiaoyue and Zhan Xiong got on the carriage, she returned to the teahouse. She turned the wooden hairpin at the soldiers closest to her, and the poisonous needles inside flew over "whoosh whoosh", and two soldiers fell to the ground instantly.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue arrogantly gestured with disdain and shouted at the soldiers inside: "Trash! No resistance at all! I'm going to kill the Cavalry General right now!"
Sure enough, Lin Xiaoyue’s words stimulated the soldiers inside. They didn’t expect that someone more powerful would come and kill their two brothers at once. So the other soldiers stopped fighting and went straight to kill Lin Xiaoyue. They wanted to avenge their brothers!
When Lin Xiaoyue saw them running out, she ran, "Zhanxiong, they're out, get ready!"
Zhan Xiong shouted, "Okay! Hide first!"
Seeing that the soldiers behind her were getting closer and closer, Lin Xiaoyue dived to the ground and hid in the belly of the carriage.
The soldiers who ran out couldn't catch up with Lin Xiaoyue, and were getting angry. Then they recognized that the carriage Zhan Xiong was sitting in belonged to their cavalry general. "Oh no! The general is in trouble!" They turned to attack Zhan Xiong.
Zhan Xiong was as strong as his name suggests. He was incredibly strong. When he threw the earth bomb, the people on the opposite side were either killed by the explosion or crushed to death. With a few loud "booms", a large number of soldiers were killed. The rest of the people were either disabled or injured, and they all fled for their lives.
Lin Xiaoyue climbed out of the carriage and saw Zhan Xiong chasing the remaining soldiers. She ran over to stop him and said, "Don't chase a desperate enemy! Be careful of an ambush! Zhan Xiong, you'd better come back!"
Zhan Xiong was somewhat unwilling to accept this. Emperor Liang had driven them to the Northern Territory for so many years, and the Master and the others had suffered in the Northern Territory. Wasn't that enough? Now he was still trying to exterminate them. This was simply too much!
"I won't give up! I'm going to kill all these lackeys!"
Lin Xiaoyue was worried about Zhan Xiong and followed closely behind him. "Zhan Xiong, listen to me, as long as there is life, there is hope! As long as we hold on to Yangming Town, there is hope!"
But Zhan Xiong just wouldn't listen. He chased them for a long way and killed almost all the remaining soldiers, but he was unwilling to stop.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew from nowhere and hit Zhan Xiong's back. Lin Xiaoyue was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She stepped forward and kicked him. Zhan Xiong was kicked to the ground, and Lin Xiaoyue also fell to the ground.
"Ding!" The arrow shot into the air and fell to the ground. Lin Xiaoyue looked at the arrowhead next to her forehead. She felt cold sweat on her back. "Zhanxiong, go back! If you don't go back, you will die here. Are you willing to accept this?"
Zhan Xiong pounded the ground in frustration, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have acted so rashly!"
Lin Xiaoyue could actually understand Zhan Xiong's feelings. If she were to stay in the freezing northern region for several years, she would also fight to the death!
"Alas! This is not your fault. Let's go back. We can talk about everything after Brother Liang comes back."
Zhan Xiong looked up and observed his surroundings. "Okay! Miss Lin, you stay on the ground for a while. I'll get up and distract the attacker."
Lin Xiaoyue would never put her life in other people's hands. "No need. You can find a way to go back by yourself. I have my own way."
As she spoke, she looked up and saw an empty stall very close to her. She rolled and crawled directly into the stall.
Zhan Xiong felt very guilty when he saw Lin Xiaoyue's miserable appearance. If he had not acted so stubbornly, Miss Lin would not have to suffer this. He would go and receive the punishment when his master came back.
"Miss Lin, I'm sorry!"
Having said that, Zhan Xiong did not leave alone, but ran outside the stall to protect Lin Xiaoyue's safety.
At this moment, several other Silver Slash Guards also arrived and surrounded the stall. "Miss Lin, this time it's Zhan Xiong who's lost his mind. We're here to save you! Come out quickly! We'll escort you back!"
Lin Xiaoyue was very embarrassed at this time. Her original intention of rolling in was not because she was angry or wanted to hide, but because she wanted to use the space to become invisible and return to the teahouse. But now so many people came, she could not use the activation space.
She crawled out of the stall, scratched her head with a smile, and said, "Thank you for your help, let's go!"
The seven Silver Slash Guards responded, "Yes!", surrounded Lin Xiaoyue and escorted her forward.
It was about 800 meters from the stall to the teahouse. Normally, one could get there quickly if one walked fast, but this distance made Lin Xiaoyue feel as if she had walked 5,000 meters.
There were always sharp arrows flying towards them along the way, and the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" pierced through the wind, making Lin Xiaoyue's hair stand on end and she walked in fear. Fortunately, there were many Silver Slash Guards, and no matter which direction the arrows came from, they could cut them in half in mid-air.
Finally, when Lin Xiaoyue swallowed her saliva several times, she was escorted into the teahouse by the Silver Slash Guards.
"Phew! We're finally here, thank you everyone!"
Zhan Xiong knelt on the ground in shame, "I should be the one saying thank you! I'm sorry, everyone. If I hadn't been so impulsive, you wouldn't have to risk coming out to save Miss Lin and me. Please punish me, Miss Lin!"
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhan Xiong kneeling on the ground and felt very embarrassed. After all, Zhan Xiong delivered the homemade bomb in time and killed most of General Chariot and Cavalry's soldiers, which reduced the burden on others!
But in the end, Zhan Xiong did not listen to his advice and insisted on chasing after the remaining soldiers. He was indeed wrong!
Should he be punished?
