Chapter 486 I Counted to Three
Jiang Nuanzhi was too preoccupied with Xie Liangchen at that moment. She truly had no need to forge a blood feud with him, but she also had no intention of currying favor with him. She simply escorted him home safely, gave him compensation, and then they parted ways peacefully. At this time, she was preoccupied with something else.
"Damn it, these people are like leeches, they're driving me crazy!" Dongzang was so annoyed that she took down the black-clad assassin in front of her with a single spear thrust. Before she could even wipe her beloved spear, the next second, she hurled it, piercing straight into the chest of an assassin behind her who was trying to slash towards Jiang Nuanzhi's carriage. The spear sent the man flying back more than ten steps, pinning him firmly to a tree behind him.
The forest was filled with dark shadows, seemingly endless. Ignoring everything else, she lunged forward, drew her spear, and rejoined the battle to help Lu Zhong. Lu Zhong's large force already had wounded men; there were too many to handle, even for the elite.
Inside the carriage, Jiang Nuanzhi's expression was also not very good. She pulled her two children into her arms and said, "Mother is here, don't be afraid."
"Mother, I'm not afraid!"
Nestled in Jiang Nuanzhi's arms, Baozhu peered longingly outside. Her eyes held no fear, but rather a hint of excitement: "Mother, Baozhu will be as strong as Aunt Dongzang in the future! Then she can protect you!"
As she spoke, she clenched her chubby little fists.
Jiang Nuanzhi was stunned for a moment, never expecting her youngest daughter to say such a thing. She was momentarily stunned, especially seeing the excitement in Xiao Baozhu's eyes. Could it be that she took after Li Rong? She watched the scene of battle as if it were some new and fascinating toy.
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but shudder. Thinking of her identity as the youngest daughter and her fate in the original book, Jiang Nuanzhi thought, well, there's nothing to correct. Liking fighting and killing is better than liking men.
Once she's learned martial arts, she won't be bullied anymore, right?
Of course, even though she thought that way, she glanced at the waiter next to her and sighed softly. This is how a normal child should be!
At this moment, Xiao Er's eyes were full of tension. He uncontrollably snuggled closer to Jiang Nuanzhi's arms, took a deep breath, and forced himself to agree, "I...I'm not afraid! I can protect Mother and my sister! I...I have medicine."
As he spoke, he gripped the porcelain bottle in his hand even tighter and nervously peered outside.
Xiao Er wasn't entirely unfamiliar with bloodshed; he'd even fought himself while carrying his own medicine, but his opponents always aimed to kill them. He still found it difficult to adapt to Dong Cang's method of killing, which left his opponents with virtually no chance of survival.
Unlike Xiao Er, Jiang Nuanzhi was extremely excited to see the lightning bolt crouching above her head. It flapped its wings, trying to fly away, but was tied up by Jiang Nuanzhi, and its wings popped out in anger.
"Madam, Lightning loves this kind of scene. It used to fight alongside Winter, and it's in a hurry now. Its claws are sharp, so please be careful." Lin Chun, holding a long whip and protecting Jiang Nuanzhi and the others in the carriage, glanced back and said.
As if it understood, Lightning flapped its wings expectantly and looked at Jiang Nuanzhi.
Jiang Nuanzhi rolled her eyes at Lightning and untied the rope that bound her to it.
After several battles, Jiang Nuanzhi naturally knew the power of Lightning, so she simply let it out to cooperate with Dongzang.
Lin Chun paused for a moment, then quickly regained her focus and continued her defense, trying to avoid any mishaps.
Fortunately, Dongzang was a formidable force, and with the almost invincible Lu Zhong, there were no major casualties.
The fighting ended in no time.
With few men left, the enemy had no other choice but to let out a loud whistle and then quickly led the remaining men into the woods.
Dongcang was so angry that her eyebrows shot up and she suddenly darted out.
Lin Chun, standing behind him, frowned and shouted, "Stop! Don't be reckless!"
Dongzang turned around in frustration and roared, "Get out of my way! Do I have to listen to you to do what I say?"
Dongzang sneered, and the next second, his spear shot out again, killing the fleeing man in front of him. He then charged into the forest.
"Come back!" This time it was Jiang Nuanzhi who shouted.
"Madam!" Dongzang glared angrily.
"I'll count to three, one!"
"two"
Before she could even utter the word "three," Dongzang's resentful face was already looming large in front of Jiang Nuanzhi.
She held her breath until her face turned red, glared at Lin Chun, then glanced at Jiang Nuanzhi, and finally slumped to the ground, panting heavily.
Seeing her childish sulking, Jiang Nuanzhi found it amusing for a moment, but still said, "The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. Our group includes the old, the weak, women, and children, and you are the one with the highest martial arts skills. Maybe this is a ploy by them to lure us away from our mountain."
Dongzang had been gulping down several mouthfuls of water when he heard this. He suddenly looked up at Jiang Nuanzhi and grinned, "What you're saying, Madam, isn't true. I'm not always the best in martial arts. Lu Zhong defeated me once, but I was menstruating that time. I also took an arrow to the arm, which is why I lost."
As she said this, she looked at Lu Zhong and asked, "Hey, don't you think so?"
Exhausted, Lu Zhong plopped down on the ground with a "."
So, after all that the lady said, this is the only thing she heard?
She always compares herself to herself, why doesn't she compare herself to the general?
Seeing Dongzang's increasingly unkind gaze, Lu Zhong really didn't dare to provoke him, because he was indeed no match for him.
"Yes, Dongcang's skills are among the best in the army."
Upon hearing this, Dongzang grinned at Jiang Nuanzhi with satisfaction and patted the two lightning bolts on his shoulder.
However, the next second he saw Lin Chun, he glared at her, and went to find something to eat.
The lightning bolt on her shoulder was dizzy from the force of her slap. It shook its shoulder in dissatisfaction, then hesitated for a long time before finally returning to Jiang Nuanzhi's shoulder listlessly.
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but chuckle: "Hey, at least she knows how to be pragmatic."
Small animals are sometimes the most intelligent, able to quickly identify who is in charge of the group, but Jiang Nuanzhi could still see a hint of resentment on its face. Of course, she didn't indulge it and reached out to pluck a hair from its body.
Lightning was so angry it was jumping up and down, but Jiang Nuanzhi seemed to have no time to tease it anymore and went straight to check on everyone's injuries.
Fortunately, they were all superficial injuries, and a quick bandage didn't take much time.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Jiang Nuanzhi looked at the exhausted soldiers and told them to hurry up and get food for everyone to replenish their strength.
Turning around, he saw the pale-faced old man being helped out of the carriage by Uncle Xin.
She rushed over, taking three steps at a time: "Is the poison about to flare up again?"
The old man shook his head: "Perhaps, I feel really dizzy today, it's quite uncomfortable."
As he spoke, he rubbed his head and said, "Nuan girl, get me something good to eat too. After I eat, I'll get in the car and take a nap. That should do it."
No sooner had he finished speaking than his head lolled to the side and he collapsed.
