Chapter 64 What on earth are you going to do?
After running for a while, Su Ying felt that the horse was carrying Jiang Yang and the others too slowly, so she gave them some sleeping pills and then moved the two of them and the horse into the space, so that she could speed up.
Without having to worry about the two people, Su Ying ran much faster, but before she had run for long, she saw a dozen people blocking the road ahead.
When those people saw Su Ying running towards them with a pack of wolves, they could not hide their surprise. It was not until Su Ying got closer that they clenched their swords and stared at her fiercely.
"kill!"
The other party didn't say a word and just started attacking.
Su Ying narrowed her cold eyes and suddenly pulled the leash in her hand, touching the locks on the wolves' necks. The pain on their necks made them roar in frenzy.
"Whether you can eat enough to fill your belly depends on your ability." Su Ying released the leash in her hand.
The wolves were shocked and had no food to eat. When they saw so many people, they rushed towards them like crazy.
Those people didn't expect that the wolves would attack them. They had to stop and deal with the wolves when they were rushing towards Su Ying.
Su Ying had no intention of standing by and watching. She kicked her horse's belly and quickly went behind them. She swung the electric baton in her hand and knocked one of them to the ground.
Su Ying jumped off the horse and dragged the man aside, took out a dagger and cut open the man's pants, revealing the mark he had branded on the inside of his thigh.
She grabbed another one to check and found the same mark on the side of the other person's leg.
Su Ying picked up the big man whose hands and feet were stiff from the electric shock.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?" Before, she thought that these people just wanted to get something from Lin Zhuyu, but now they specifically attacked her, which meant that their purpose was not as simple as she thought.
"Who are you? Tell me!" Su Ying punched the man in the face, and the man's body flew out like a rag.
Su Ying turned around and grabbed another man from the melee, kicked him in the heart, and took out a silver needle and pierced it into the acupuncture point on his neck.
"Ah!" The man rolled on the ground in pain.
When the other men saw this, they wanted to rush forward to rescue the people, but they were trapped by the wolves and couldn't get away.
Su Ying stepped on the man's chest and said, "I am not a patient person. Let me ask you again, who sent you here?"
The man was stepped on and spurted out a mouthful of blood. He twitched and said, "We are the rented army. Yes, someone paid us to kill Xiao Jin."
Su Ying's pupils shrank suddenly, "Then why haven't you taken action yet?"
"After leaving the country, the other party wants him to die outside the country."
"Who is that person?"
The man shook his head painfully, "No, I don't know. We are only responsible for collecting money and doing things."
"Then why did you catch Lin Zhuyu?"
"The employer said she had something important on her, but our people didn't find it."
The important thing on Lin Zhuyu's body is the evidence that can prove her father's conspiracy with Xiao Jue. Since the other party asked these people to retrieve the evidence, it must be because this thing will bring harm to them. Therefore, the person who found these soldiers is either Lin Zhuyu's father or that beast Xiao Jue!
Su Ying exerted force with her feet, and the man's body stiffened instantly, his head tilted, and he lost his voice.
Su Ying thought about the situation of Xiao Jin and the others and didn't want to waste any more time, so she took out a dagger and rushed into the battle, cutting the necks of those men.
"ah!"
More than a dozen people were knocked to the ground by Su Ying in just a flash. The wolves smelled the sweet and fishy smell of blood and excitedly tore into the corpses and feasted on them.
If what the man said was true, then Xiao Jin and the others would still be safe before the team left Yanxi Pass. As long as she hurried back, she would still have time.
Su Ying wiped the blood off the dagger on the wolf and said, "I'll give you ten minutes at most. Once you're full, run."
Under the wolves' crazy biting, the corpse on the ground was immediately unrecognizable.
Su Ying put away the dagger and swiftly climbed onto the horse. When the time was up, she grabbed the leash and started running without caring whether the wolves were full or not.
The wolf was dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.
Su Ying ran so fast that the skin between her legs was almost worn out. She didn't catch up with the team until nightfall.
She dismounted and looked for traces of the team on the ground, then continued to ride in pursuit.
But just when she reached a fork in the road, she found that the sensor had a strong reaction, which seemed that the team should be not far ahead.
Su Ying stood in the middle of the fork in the road and observed the changes in the direction of the sensor. She found that the sensor's reaction was stronger when she stood at the entrance of another road. After determining the team's location, Su Ying jumped on her horse again and continued on her way.
On the other side, the team was suffering from the strongest sandstorm since entering the Gobi Desert.
Li Da quickly took out a cloth and covered his head. When he came in, he had thought that the situation here would be much worse, but he did not expect it to be so bad that he could not even walk.
The dust was too heavy, so Xiao Jin asked everyone to close the curtains and doors, and everyone hid in the carriage temporarily and waited until the wind and sand died down before going out.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage that was shaking due to the wind finally stopped. Cheng Ming pushed open the door of the carriage, and a pile of sand fell down.
Many prisoners were squatting on the ground, with the sand not even reaching above their insteps.
Li Da saw that the sandstorm had stopped, and quickly asked everyone to move, "Hurry up, if you don't want to die here, move forward quickly."
The unknown road ahead is frightening. Even if the prisoners are thirsty and tired, they have to endure it because they don’t want to die here.
"Daddy, when will Mommy come back?" Erbao leaned on Xiao Jin. Although the child didn't understand anything, he could feel the emotions of the adults.
Xiao Jin held her in his arms and comforted her, "Soon, my mother will find Uncle Jiang and the others and they will be back."
"Mother, please come back soon. Ling'er misses you so much."
Xiao Jin held Erbao in his arms, his brows tightly furrowed. He didn't know where Su Ying was or whether she was safe.
Even though I knew she was capable of protecting herself, I couldn't help but think about it.
Due to lack of water, prisoners gradually fell down.
Li Da and his companions only made a record after confirming that the person was dead, and then continued to move forward.
The sky darkened, the temperature dropped sharply, and everyone was shivering with cold.
Mother Zhao quickly took the quilt from the car and covered the two children. It was strange, they had not felt so cold at night before, so why was it so cold today?
Li Da walked in front, and even though he was shivering with cold, he had no intention of stopping.
"There's no one living here, so why not just do it here?" The prisoner walking behind looked up in the direction of Xiao Jin and the others, and spoke with a grim expression while looking at Xiao Jin's carriage.
The leading man paused and glared at him. "Our rule is to follow the orders of whoever pays you. Don't try to be smart here."
"What's the difference between dying here and dying outside the Great Wall?" the man said unconvinced.
"If he dies here, he will still be a punished prince. If he dies outside the Great Wall, he will be a stateless ghost!" If the emperor remembers it at that time, there will be no way to hold him accountable.
