Chapter 176: The Final Kill
Su Ying looked up and saw several guards walking towards her.
She stood up and put her foot on Xiao Jue's neck. "Just stand five steps away. I can hear everything you say."
The guard quickly stopped and said, "Young lady, the wind and sand here are too strong. Why don't you come with us into the city to take shelter? It's very cold here at night."
Su Ying glanced in the direction of the pass, then looked at the forest not far away, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and suddenly exerted force on her feet. Xiao Jue screamed, "Go back."
Seeing that she was not fooled at all, the guards clenched their fists instantly, but did not dare to move forward. "Don't be angry, young lady. We are also worried that Your Highness will be cold at night."
Su Ying showed no intention of loosening her feet, so the guards did not dare to stay any longer and retreated again and again.
Only after they retreated far away did Su Ying relax her feet a little.
"Xiao Jue, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to live. If I can't get what I want, I will cut off your flesh piece by piece and feed it to the wolves."
Xiao Jue only felt the flesh in his body tightening in pain.
They were not far from the checkpoint and could reach there in less than fifteen minutes if they rode at full speed, but it would take time to prepare the things Su Ying wanted.
It was not until it was almost dark that an army arrived with a train of horse-drawn carriages.
"We have brought all the things, please release His Highness immediately."
As the sky gradually darkened, Su Ying watched the carriages slowly rising from the ground. She loosened the belt around Xiao Jue's neck and pointed at one of the carriages. "Open that black sack. I want to see what's inside."
After receiving the signal from their superiors, the officers and soldiers quickly pulled down the sack designated by Su Ying and opened it, revealing the white rice inside.
"Let me see that, too."
Su Ying pointed to several sacks, and the officers and soldiers took out the contents one by one to show her.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the things, Su Ying said, "The person pulling the cart, follow me into the woods."
These words made the captain of the guard's face darken.
Their people had already ambushed in the woods, but it was almost dark now, and the woods were dark. Su Ying and Xiao Jue were close, and if she acted rashly, she might hurt Xiao Jue by mistake.
This woman is really smart!
Su Ying held Xiao Jue hostage and walked into the woods. She knew there was a slope deep in the woods. The slope was not very high, but in the dark it would look like a bottomless abyss.
"The people pulling the cart go in, and the rest of you wait outside the woods. If I find anyone following us, I'll kill him right away!"
The officers and soldiers immediately let the people pulling the cart walk in front, and the rest followed behind, or sneaked in from other directions outside the woods.
Su Ying brought Xiao Jue to the slope.
Su Ying said to the officers and soldiers: "Throw everything down."
The officers and soldiers were shocked when they heard this. She had waited so long for these things, but now she asked them to throw them away. Was this woman playing a trick on them?
The officers and soldiers did not move.
"I'll say it again, throw it down!" She held Xiao Jin's hand tighter.
The officers and soldiers had no choice but to do as they were told and throw the things in the car down little by little.
Because there were so many things, it took me nearly half an hour to finish throwing them all away.
Su Ying took Xiao Jue and slowly walked down the slope.
"Everyone, step back and put out your torches. If anyone follows me, I will kill him."
The officers and soldiers did not dare to move forward and could only do as they were told and extinguish the torches.
The moment the last torch was extinguished, the forest instantly fell into endless darkness. At this time, the sky had just gotten dark and the moon had not yet come out. It could be said that not even a ray of light could penetrate the forest. It was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face!
"Xiao Jue, shout, tell them not to come down, shout!"
Xiao Jue gritted his teeth and shouted, "Everyone, don't come down, don't come down!"
As soon as Xiao Jue finished shouting, Su Ying covered his mouth and the dagger stabbed into his chest fiercely.
Xiao Jue widened his eyes in despair, but Su Ying didn't care whether he lived or died and kicked him down the steep slope.
Su Ying threw the recorder on the ground. Xiao Jue's shouts continued to echo down the slope. She took out her night vision goggles and quickly found the things that were thrown down and put them all into the space.
The guards above listened to Xiao Jue's voice and slowly moved down the slope. They heard the shouting right next to their ears, but they could not see Xiao Jue's figure.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Jue’s shouting suddenly stopped.
The officers, soldiers and guards realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered torches to be lit. The beams of light from a large number of torches illuminated the slope, but to their surprise, there was nothing on the slope.
There was not much vegetation on this slope, only a few low trees and some weeds. You could see the end at a glance. There were also traces on the ground where they had thrown things down. What was strange was that those things were gone!
They rubbed their eyes again and again in disbelief, thinking that they were dazzled, but they rubbed their eyes until they turned red, but still saw nothing.
"This is really, really weird..."
"Your Highness! Found it, found Your Highness!"
The officers, soldiers and guards came forward and lifted Xiao Jue up. He was in a dishevel, with wounds all over his head and face.
"Quick, carry His Highness up, and you escort His Highness back. I will lead people to chase those people. They will definitely not be able to go far with so many things."
"yes."
The officers and soldiers and the guards were divided into two groups.
At this moment, Su Ying, who was in the space, knew how chaotic it was outside without even thinking about it.
These people still valued Xiao Jue's life very much, and they sent him a lot of things. Perhaps they thought that these things were just for show and could be taken back. Unfortunately, they made a wrong calculation.
Su Ying happily counted the supplies she bought yesterday and received today in her space. She had to say, the more she looked at them, the more satisfied she became.
Those people probably wouldn't leave in the short term, so Su Ying wasn't in a hurry to go back. She took the dried meat and snacks she had stockpiled from the shelf and started eating them comfortably.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Hu Wei and his companions finally returned to the Tiger Camp.
However, when approaching the Tiger Camp, Hu Wei was still cautious and did not let the drivers go directly to the Tiger Camp. Instead, he took them around the Tiger Camp and finally let them unload the goods near the direction of the Green Dragon Camp. Then he sent someone back to call people over.
"Thank you all very much. Here is the fare. Please take it." After Hu Wei paid the fare, he asked two people to lead the coachman and take them out of the northern wilderness.
The drivers also realized that Hu Wei and his men were not ordinary people. When they left, they did not dare to look around for fear of getting into trouble.
Nearly half an hour later, people from the Tiger Camp arrived.
However, the one riding the horse in the front was not Qiao Yang, but Xiao Jin.
