After nightfall, the main streets of Yongzhou are lined with vendors, and although it is not bustling, there are still many citizens out enjoying the cool air and strolling around.
The streets weren't congested, but they were far from smooth either.
But tonight is a little different.
Street vendors and pedestrians alike hid on both sides of the street, their stalls pulled away. They stared ahead with puzzled expressions.
At the end of the street, three people and a horse—one man and two women on horseback—galloped toward the city gate. The city's soldiers had already arrived upon hearing the news, with constables on horseback in pursuit and soldiers with weapons blocking their way.
It is said that even the strongest fists can't beat four hands, and even the best martial arts skills are afraid of a kitchen knife. There are so many soldiers in Yongzhou City, so intercepting a mere three people should have been a piece of cake.
But that's not the case.
In the center stood a woman dressed in black, wielding a gleaming sword. She slashed at any enemy she encountered and thrust at any soldier she met, her imposing presence unstoppable.
At first, some of the soldiers tried to stop her with knives and spears, but their weapons were as brittle as paper when they met the woman's sword; they shattered at the slightest touch.
After this happened several times, no one dared to step forward again.
Wherever the woman's warhorse went, the soldiers would merely make a show of stopping her, then retreat to the sides, watching helplessly as the three slowly approached the city gate.
When Lin Wenyao rode his horse to the main city street, this was exactly what he saw.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"
It's infuriating that so many armed soldiers couldn't stop a woman.
But what angered him the most were the three people on horseback!
The beautiful young woman sat at the very front of the horse, while the woman in the middle, dressed in black, had a cold expression but possessed a stunning beauty that was no less than that of the young woman.
Meanwhile, Ah Kun, whom he hated the most, sat at the back, his arm around the slender waist of the woman in black. As the warhorse moved forward, their bodies inevitably collided with each other. Despite the harsh environment, he looked completely enjoying himself, which showed how much he was having fun!
Lin Wenyao was not only angry after reading it, but also envious!
Damn it, how come he's touching all the pretty women?
Does being handsome give you the right to do whatever you want?
Seeing Lin Wenyao get angry, the lean constable beside him advised, "Young master, don't be anxious. Actually, this tactic is called 'feigning indifference to lure the enemy into a trap'!"
"Spoil your mother's ass!"
Lin Wenyao cursed, "Do you think I'm blind? He's practically hiding in his ass, and you're still trying to talk to me about playing hard to get? Fuck you!"
"..."
Ever since deciding to follow Lin Wenyao, the lean constable had been prepared to be scolded and didn't take it to heart. He laughed and said, "Young master, look, there's the city gate ahead! Although this woman is powerful, how can she open the gate and leave the city with two people? As long as we wait for her to get to the city gate, we can catch her like a turtle in a jar. Isn't this a strategy of feigning indifference to lure her in?"
Lin Wenyao thought about it and realized that this made perfect sense.
His face brightened, and he quickened his pace. Just as he was about to say a few words to the lean constable, his expression suddenly changed drastically!
The woman in black rode her horse to the city gate, and the gate, which had been closed, was suddenly opened without warning!
Next, the woman in black swaggered off on her horse, out, out…
"this…"
The slap in the face came too quickly; the lean constable felt a burning pain on his face and stared at the city gate, speechless.
"What the hell are you standing there for? Go after them!"
Lin Wenyao shouted another curse, and only then did the lean constable react, pushing off with his feet and quickly chasing after him.
While chasing, he also cursed the constables and soldiers who were equally stunned.
"Stop standing there like a bastard, chase after them!"
In an instant, a large group of soldiers marched out of the city.
...
Although Lu Li is confident, she is by no means arrogant.
She did enter the government office alone, but she sent others to guard the city gate. Once they saw her leading her men rushing over, they would seize the guards and escape through the gate.
Hanhan and Da Ge were quite reliable. After seeing Lu Li from afar, they didn't even wait for the guards to react before quickly taking them down and opening the gate to let them pass.
After running a mile out of the city, Lu Li stopped.
Although her warhorse was excellent, it was still too slow carrying three people.
"Someone has to go down, otherwise they'll catch up with us soon!"
Lu Li said.
At this moment, Hanhan and Da Ge, who were riding horses, also caught up and stood on either side of Lu Li, staring at the three of them with wide eyes.
Jing Zhe was a little flustered.
When they escaped from the government office, they encountered this problem: the three men had different ideas about how to sit.
Lu Li's plan was to have Chen Mo first, Jing Zhe second, and herself in the middle. This way, Jing Zhe wouldn't be able to touch Chen Mo, which would put her at ease. As for Jing Zhe touching her...
Lu Li didn't think this issue was important; after all, this was her younger brother.
Chen Mo's idea was that Lu Li should be in front, Jing Zhe behind, and she should be in the middle. In any case, she couldn't let Jing Zhe touch Lu Li. As for why, she couldn't explain the reason. She just felt that this way she could feel at ease.
As for Jing Zhe…
Adults don't make choices; of course, he wants to sit in the middle, surrounded by women, enjoying the beauty of having multiple wives.
However, his idea didn't matter, and he was the first one to be rejected.
The confrontation between Chen Mo and Lu Li didn't last long, and in the end, Lu Li, who could ride a horse, won.
There's no way around it, being able to ride a horse really does allow you to do whatever you want, otherwise you can choose not to ride at all.
Chen Mo pursed his lips and reluctantly sat down in the front, silently repeating to himself: This is just his sister…
When the problem arose again, before the two women could even speak, the quick-witted Jing Zhe leaped off his horse in one swift motion: "The pursuers are almost here, can we stop wasting time? I'll get off, I'll get off, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo and Lu Li both turned their heads to the side.
The two, Hanhan and Da Ge, looked on in amazement without even blinking.
"Are the pursuers coming soon?"
He glanced back and nodded sheepishly, "Yeah, they're catching up quickly!"
"You know they're catching up fast, why aren't you pulling me up?"
Jing Zhe said angrily.
"oh."
Hanhan scratched his head, then pulled Jing Zhe onto the horse, and the five of them and three horses galloped towards Mangshan.
