Chapter 180 So What If I’m a Girl?
"Brother, wait a minute!"
Xue Youli was worried that Xue Wuji couldn't find Ye Ya, so he immediately reminded him, "If the thief who swapped the weapons worked together with Zhao Ming, then your confidants who stayed in the East Camp might have met with an accident. Of course, if your confidants are still useful, the other party probably won't kill them all, and will leave one or two alive to take away."
Upon hearing this, the first person that came to Xue Wuji's mind was Yu Minyan.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is the daughter of General Yu. Once the substitution of arms is discovered, they will definitely target Yu Minyan and use her as a hostage to force his master Yu Hongyi to submit.
"Thank you, Madam Xue, for reminding me. I will go and save them right away!"
Xue Youli quickly asked, "Brother, do you know where to go to rescue people?"
Xue Wuji frowned and quickly thought of a place. "If the other party has a live person, they will definitely take the live person to the place where the weapons are hidden as a hostage. Even if the officers and soldiers track down the weapons, they can use the hostage to divert the officers and soldiers' attention, thereby delaying time to transfer the weapons."
After listening to his elder brother's accurate analysis, Xue Youli felt much more at ease.
Then, she took out two paper bags from her waist and handed them to Xue Wuji, "Brother, these two bags of powder can make people blind if they are sprinkled into the eyes. Carry the powder with you, it may save your life in an emergency."
"Thank you, Madam Xue!"
After Xue Wuji accepted the medicine powder she gave him, he left Chengzi Palace directly.
After leaving the palace, he rode at full speed towards the east city pier.
A quarter of an hour ago, the East Camp was already in chaos.
After Night Crow sneaked into the East Camp, he realized that the weapons swap had been exposed, so he set a fire outside the armory, intending to burn all the scrap copper and iron in the armory.
After discovering Night Crow's whereabouts, Yu Minyan drew the sword from his waist and rushed forward.
Her skills were not as good as Night Crow's, and after a few rounds, she was clearly at a disadvantage.
During the fight, the sound of their fighting alarmed the guards on patrol at the East Camp.
"Young General Yu, we are here to help you!"
Everyone saw Yu Minyan fighting with a black masked figure and rushed forward to help her.
When Ye Crow heard people calling Yu Minyan, he realized that the person in front of him was the only son of General Yu Hongyi.
As long as he is taken hostage, even if Yu Hongyi tracks down the whereabouts of those weapons, he will be timid.
At that time, they can negotiate with Yu Hongyi for Yu Minyan's life and transfer the weapons out smoothly.
Yu Minyan pointed at the fire in the armory and turned to them, "Hurry up and notify everyone to put out the fire! There's a fire in the armory!"
"yes!"
Just as everyone ran to put out the fire, Night Crow took advantage of Yu Minyan's unpreparedness and used his palm as a knife to chop down on the back of her neck.
Yu Minyan failed to avoid the night crow's sneak attack. His eyes went dark and he lost consciousness on the spot.
Night Crow carried her onto the horse and whipped the horse's butt hard with the whip.
The horse immediately spread its hooves and galloped towards the East Pier.
After being awakened, the soldiers in the East Camp joined the fire-fighting team one after another, and no one noticed that Yu Minyan was kidnapped by the night crow.
On the way, Yu Minyan was shaken on the horse's back for a long time and was awakened.
She opened her eyes, recalled the fight with the man in black before she fell into a coma, and realized that she had been abducted.
She did not recklessly jump off her horse and run away, but continued to pretend to be unconscious, but her hand touched the self-defense dagger hidden at her waist.
As we got closer to the East Pier, the night crows seemed to be slowing down.
When he let his guard down, Yu Minyan suddenly raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed it into Night Crow's throat without hesitation.
However, as Murong Ye's most capable confidant, Ye Ya is extremely skilled and vigilant.
When Yu Minyan grabbed the dagger and attacked, Night Crow had already noticed it.
He slapped Yu Minyan on the shoulder, knocking him off his horse.
The moment Yu Minyan landed, even though he avoided any vital parts, he still rolled on the ground for several times, with several scratches on his arms and legs.
However, she did not cry out in pain at all. Instead, she rolled over on the ground again, picked up the dagger that fell not far away, and stabbed the horse's leg hard.
"hiss--"
The horse felt pain, raised its front hooves high, and neighed loudly.
Night Crow slapped the horse's back hard, used the force to fly into the air, and kicked Yu Minyan.
Yu Minyan narrowly avoided his kick and started slashing with the dagger.
Unfortunately, after just a few moves, Night Crow suddenly exerted force and pushed his palm hard. The wind from his palm shook Yu Minyan's palm and the dagger slipped out of his hand immediately.
After Night Crow snatched her dagger, he aimed it at her throat and stabbed it.
Yu Minyan stepped back hastily, and the sharp tip of the dagger just pierced her collar, revealing a section of her fair and slender neck.
After missing the first attack, Night Crow narrowed his eyes behind the black veil and stabbed towards Yu Minyan's front again.
Yu Minyan's pupils tightened, and when she turned around to avoid the attack, the dagger accurately cut off the hairband on her head.
Suddenly, it poured down like a waterfall.
The curve of her fair neck beneath her collar was so graceful, without any trace of the toughness of a man.
When Night Crow saw this scene, he was stunned at first, then sneered, "It turns out that General Yu's only son is a woman!"
The moment Yu Minyan's identity was exposed, a flash of panic flashed across her eyes, but she clenched her fists to calm herself down, "So what if I'm a girl? I'll still kill a villain like you!"
She knew that in this situation, the more timid she was, the more arrogant the enemy would become.
There has never been any law in Jiuzhou that prohibits women from going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Although she is a woman, she also has a heart to serve the country. There is nothing shameful about this!
What's shameful is the bastard in front of him who switched weapons and harmed the soldiers!
Thinking of this, Yu Minyan swung his fist directly and hit Ye Ya's face.
Unfortunately, she was no match for Night Crow after all. She only took three attacks from Night Crow before being knocked away by a palm strike.
Just as Yu Minyan was about to hit the wall beside the street, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.
“Minyan!”
Yu Minyan seemed to hear someone calling her name.
She turned her head, and in her pupils she saw a handsome figure falling from the sky, rushing to her in time, holding her waist with his big hands and holding her steadily.
"Senior Brother!" Yu Minyan looked up at the man who was hugging her. When she realized that her hair was disheveled, her cheeks became hot and she hurriedly pushed him away.
Xue Wuji looked at the long black hair behind her, and some emotion flashed across his eyes, "Minyan, are you not hurt?"
Yu Minyan was hit on the shoulder by Night Crow, and was seriously injured. However, in order not to distract Xue Wuji, she shook her head and said, "Brother, I'm fine."
Xue Wuji raised his eyes and looked towards the night crow standing not far away, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
This person knew that Yu Minyan was a woman. If he let him go tonight, perhaps someone would make a fuss about it during court tomorrow, saying that General Yu had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Therefore, we must not let this guy leave alive.
Thinking of this, Xue Wuzhi drew out his sword and swung it at the night crow without hesitation.
Seeing this, Night Crow did not dare to be careless. He drew the sword from his waist and raised his hand to block.
clang!
Amid the clanging sounds of swords, the two swords collided heavily, creating dazzling sparks.
