Chapter 746 Another Group of People Arrive
Jiang Baozhu lowered her eyes and sighed deeply. She was very afraid that Lin Yuesha would fall into the other party's hands. Even if her life was not in danger, she would definitely suffer.
"Qi'er, I know you are Young Master Qi's person, and I have an idea."
Jiang Baozhu looked at Qi'er and said seriously, "I'll switch carriages with Sister Yuesha."
The two carriages were the same, but the horses pulling them were different. So, Jiang Baozhu figured she would switch the horses and the maids, and let Qingxing and Baicha get into her carriage, creating the illusion that Lin Yuesha was inside.
This is the only way to better protect Lin Yuesha.
"Miss Jiang, you absolutely mustn't!"
Qi'er strongly objected. Although this would reduce the danger to her young mistress, the danger was not reduced; instead, it was transferred to Jiang Baozhu.
If her young mistress found out that she had acted on her own initiative, she would be furious.
If she avoids danger herself and pushes her best friend out, what kind of person is Lin Yuesha?
After much thought, this suggestion proved unfeasible.
"It has to work, even if it doesn't work."
If the other party realizes they've kidnapped the wrong person, there might still be a glimmer of hope. But if Lin Yuesha ends up in their hands, things will get really complicated.
"Sister Yue Sha needs to go to the Northwest to help more people."
Jiang Baozhu made up her mind to persuade Qi'er that the other party might not fall for the trap, but was just taking precautions.
After much deliberation, Qi'er decided to agree to Jiang Baozhu's plan.
Lin Yuesha was grilling meat, completely unaware that she was being arranged for a grand feast that evening, and was delighted with the prospect of a delicious meal.
The caravan carrying medicinal herbs followed behind, with hundreds of men camping out in the wilderness. The caravan members drank and chatted, creating a lively atmosphere.
The journey took several days, smooth and peaceful, without a single disturbance, to the point that Lin Yuesha almost let her guard down and forgot about the crisis she was about to face.
The group hurried along, and would arrive in Qincheng in half a day.
After dark, exhausted from their journey, the group decided to spend another day in the wilderness, and then head to Qin City for supplies around noon the next day before heading northwest.
At this crucial juncture, the relationship between Bai Dingfeng and Wei Lan naturally eased.
"Are we really going to kidnap Lin Yuesha along with us?"
Wei Lan asked Bai Dingfeng directly, saying that she didn't think Lin Yuesha had any value.
But just now, she saw Lin Yuesha wearing strange clothes that looked light and warm, while she herself was already covered in heavy fur, making it difficult for her to move around.
"Yes, this is the Wei family's intention."
Bai Dingfeng didn't want to waste words with Wei Lan, so he directly used the Wei family to shut her up. This idiot had done a lot of stupid things along the way, which made him so angry that his blood vessels almost burst.
After entering Qin City tomorrow, take the military supplies, kidnap Lin Yuesha, and head straight for the northern lands.
The Wei and Bai families have jointly taken over Qin City, and there are also assassins among them. Unless the King of Luo's army comes from the northwest to seize it, it is guaranteed to be safe.
Lin Yuesha is just a side note; don't worry about her.
“I understand. What I mean is, don’t tell Bai Youran, otherwise who knows if she might become a traitor.”
Recently, Bai Youran and Lin Yuesha have been spending time together, and Wei Lan couldn't help but complain to them.
"You Ran can distinguish right from wrong better than you. You should worry about yourself first."
Bai Dingfeng turned his head away, ignoring Wei Lan.
"Qin City is mostly mountainous and rocky. If you go north, you'll reach the northwest, where the sand dunes stretch as far as the eye can see."
It's not quite accurate to say it's all yellow sand. There's a vast desert in the northwest where strong winds blow every spring and winter, scattering yellow dust everywhere. The climate is harsh.
"Yes, I've heard that there are sand sculptures and sand paintings in the Northwest, but I've never seen them before."
Jiang Baozhu said to Lin Yuesha in a light tone, "I heard that Qingxing is good at double-sided embroidery. I would like to borrow her skills."
"Haha, as long as Qingxing has no objections, I'm fine with it."
Lin Yuesha didn't understand Jiang Baozhu's intentions, but immediately agreed.
After the meal, everyone returned to their carriages to rest. Bai Cha pretended to join in the fun and also got into a carriage.
The horse was changed, the maid was replaced, and Lin Yuesha was kept in the dark.
Jiang Baozhu wasn't sure if someone had made a move, so she waited until late at night before she finally heard a noise.
"Oh no! Men in black are stealing military supplies!"
In the dead of night, while everyone was fast asleep, a group of people suddenly arrived. With swift strokes of their knives, they severed the heads of the bodyguards as easily as slicing melons.
Upon hearing the noise, someone shouted a warning.
Bai Dingfeng opened the car window, and in the firelight not far away, corpses lay scattered about, indicating that someone had tampered with military supplies.
Who exactly are these people? What is their purpose? Are they the same group that robbed the fabric before?
Bai Dingfeng was full of questions. He called out to Li Ruoshuang, and the two hid behind the rocks to observe what would happen.
"It's not safe in the carriage. If the horse gets spooked, there's a cliff not far away."
Bai Dingfeng ignored Wei Lan, thinking it would be better if Wei Lan fell off the cliff because of this, ending it all and allowing him to completely shirk responsibility.
Even the Wei family's own people can't manage the military supplies, what can he do?
The bodyguards were exhausted from days of fighting and were fast asleep, completely unaware of the unusual activity. Without their knowledge, more than a dozen of them were killed or injured.
The attackers were all skilled in martial arts, and their choice to launch a surprise attack outside Qin City took everyone by surprise.
"It must be that Li Ruoshuang's master has arrived. They chose to make their move before entering Qin City."
Lin Yuesha guessed that there must be a large number of Wei family members waiting in Qin City, and these people were quite good at taking advantage of loopholes.
The enemy was ruthless, and the Wei family's escort team suffered repeated defeats. Just when the situation was clearly dire, a large number of men in black joined in and fought with the people who were robbing the military supplies.
"Ah, the Wei family's assassins have arrived!"
After the assassins arrived, the situation quickly turned around, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, with shouts of killing filling the air. Several men in black even headed towards their carriage.
"Qi'er, I've thought about it, and we should take advantage of the chaos to get off the carriage."
Lin Yuesha assessed the situation and realized that someone was taking advantage of the chaos. She was trapped in the carriage, and because the carriage windows were too small, she was at the mercy of the attacker.
"good."
Qi'er agreed and was about to get off the carriage with Longjing when she noticed a man in black already sitting in the driver's seat. She raised her hand and whipped the horse.
The horse neighed and, in a short time, distanced itself from Lin Yuesha.
"Oh no! That man has kidnapped Sister Baozhu!"
In a moment of panic, Lin Yuesha got off the carriage. She turned her head and saw the horse that had been pulling the carriage. Recalling Jiang Baozhu's slightly unusual behavior, she said with red eyes, "She switched carriages with me, didn't she, Qi'er?"
"Miss Jiang was worried about your safety, so..."
Qi'er lowered her head. She had agreed to this terrible idea, even though it was selfish, because she didn't want anything to happen to her young mistress.
Therefore, she had already contacted the organization's people to meet her, but unexpectedly, something happened outside the city.
"Only one person is robbing the carriage, let's follow him."
Lin Yuesha instructed Qi'er, "Since Qi Heng has given you to me, then listen to my arrangements."
Chasing after Jiang Baozhu, even with just one man in black, is better than staying put and becoming cannon fodder. Besides, Jiang Baozhu is taking the blame for her, and Lin Yuesha must rescue her.
