Chapter 748 Primary and Secondary Relationships
Jiang Baozhu was in a daze and only grabbed onto a rock by instinct. After a moment, she said to Lin Yuesha, "Sister Yuesha, don't be foolish. There's no support around. With your strength, you can't pull me up. Instead, you'll be dragged into the abyss with me."
She has already lived an extra lifetime, so even if she dies, she has already gained a great deal.
Jiang Baozhu closed her eyes and stopped looking at Lin Yuesha. If she dragged Lin Yuesha into this mess, everything she had done would be meaningless.
"I practiced horse stance with Madam Xu, and I have the strength!"
Lin Yuesha lay down and assured Jiang Baozhu, "Let's try. What if there's a way? If you die, how can I face Gu Yi?"
"Don't tell him yet."
Jiang Baozhu's breathing grew weaker and weaker. Lin Yuesha looked back and saw that Qingxing and Qi'er had been hit by darts thrown by the Wei family's assassins and were seriously injured. Bai Cha had been sent to a side road to hide beforehand, and now she could only rely on herself.
Jiang Baozhu was right; the ground next to her was slippery, and with her strength, she could very well be pulled down as well.
"What are you all standing there for? Now that you know I'm the future city lord's wife, why aren't you coming to help? You bunch of idiots!"
Several barbarian men in black stood there dumbfounded, watching the commotion. Lin Yuesha had no one else to help her, so she had to call out to the others.
The original story of her being a close sister to Jiang Baozhu, sharing life and death together, has become strange.
"Killing the Wei family's assassins, you'll be credited with a merit!"
Lin Yuesha leaned halfway out, but Jiang Baozhu wouldn't cooperate, so she couldn't grab her at all and wished her arms were long enough.
"No, our mission is to take Miss Lin back to Sishui City. The city lord instructed us not to meddle in other people's business."
Yuwen Kun's men continued to watch the spectacle, unmoved by Lin Yuesha's attempts to entice them.
"Sister Yue Sha, the luckiest thing in my life is knowing you, even though it was for a short time."
When Jiang Baozhu saw Lin Yuesha attempting a dangerous move, she not only refused to help but also tried to let go. She was tired and had no strength left; all she wanted was to get a good night's sleep.
Lin Yuesha wept bitterly, never having felt so helpless. Even if she risked her own life, she still couldn't save Jiang Baozhu.
She was just a hair's breadth away, but no matter how hard she tried, Lin Yuesha still couldn't hold Jiang Baozhu's hand.
Within a few breaths, despair filled her, and just as her heart sank to the bottom, someone came closer and pulled her back to the edge of the cliff.
Then, the man jumped off the cliff and pulled Jiang Baozhu up in a short while.
Everything felt like a dream, happening so fast I couldn't even react.
"Okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xiao Qi sighed. He was worried about his little sister, so he had to come and pick her up in person.
Fortunately, the situation at the border has been temporarily brought under control.
Lin Yuesha stared blankly at what was in front of her, suddenly feeling a sense of unreality.
The pockmarked man appeared, and at the crucial moment, he showed up again, saving her and Jiang Baozhu's lives.
Lost in her memories of the past, Lin Yuesha couldn't shake off the illusion for a long time. He always appeared at crucial moments, one coincidence after another.
Having been rescued multiple times, it's likely that the person in question is destined to be sold to the pockmarked man, let alone marry him.
Lin Yuesha no longer disliked the marriage and truly accepted it.
"Don't be afraid, it's all over now."
Xiao Qi gently patted Lin Yuesha's back and comforted her in a low voice. His men had already applied medicine to Qingxing and Qi'er's wounds and brought white tea and Longjing tea that had been abandoned along the way.
"Miss, Miss Jiang!"
Bai Cha ran while crying, came to Lin Yuesha's side, pushed Xiao Qi away, and forced herself into Lin Yuesha's arms, crying loudly.
The initial warmth was shattered, and Xiao Qi's expression was one of indescribable dismay.
The maidservants around my younger sister are not only a burden, but also extremely insensitive.
"White tea?"
Lin Yuesha seemed to wake up from a dream, turned around to look for Jiang Baozhu, and only when she couldn't see her did she remember to ask the pockmarked man, "Where's Sister Baozhu?"
Xiao Qi: ...
He saved the person but didn't receive a single word of thanks. The maid pushed him away, and he didn't gain anything. Only now, when Lin Yuesha couldn't find Jiang Baozhu, did she remember him.
"The men carried her into the carriage; her injuries were quite serious."
Qingxing and Qi'er were also poisoned and were both unconscious.
The corpses lay scattered on the ground. The black-clad men of the Wei family and Yuwen Kun's men had all been shot dead, and without exception, a silver arrow was stuck in their chests.
Lin Yuesha turned the bracelet on her wrist. She had been too far away from the man in black, and she had intended to lure him closer before firing the silver needles, but she had failed.
The pockmarked man arrived just in time; if he had been any later, Jiang Baozhu would have fallen off the cliff.
"Did you know in advance that the Wei family was going to seize military supplies in Qincheng?"
Seeing that Doctor Liao was there, Lin Yuesha felt a little relieved, as she had great faith in his medical skills.
"yes."
The Wei family's ambition was almost undisguised. They sent assassins to intercept them multiple times along the way. These assassins were elusive and frequently used hidden weapons. They were like headless flies, not very harmful, but disgusting enough.
"Oh, so you came to Qincheng for military supplies."
Lin Yuesha had just said that the timing of the pockmarked man's arrival was perfect. When the Wei family and Yuwen Kun were fighting each other for military supplies and were both severely injured, their side appeared to pick up the scraps, which was in line with the pockmarked man's usual style of being the one who stalks the cicada from behind.
In terms of skill, the one with the pockmarked face was undoubtedly superior, and Lin Yuesha admired him wholeheartedly.
"No, I came here specifically to pick you up."
From Beijing to the Northwest, everything from backpacks and zippers to cotton-padded coats and instant noodles and hot and sour rice noodles was extremely practical and perfect for military supplies.
In the past, soldiers on night patrol in the Northwest never had a hot meal. When they were hungry, they could only drink hot tea and eat dry biscuits to fill their stomachs.
