Chapter 1772: Kill and rob the imperial concubine!
Under the dark sky, the cold wind was howling.
Behind the wolves, in the pitch-black night, there was a group of dark shadows wearing black clothes and holding steel knives in their hands. They stared at the wild wolves rushing up in waves, with grim smiles on their faces.
These people are a group of sand bandits who came out from Hot Moon Bay.
Half a day had passed since they received the news and immediately tracked down the trail and rushed here. Although the time was short, it was enough for them to set up a small obstacle here.
It also gives them time to drive away the wolves and use them for their own purposes.
Now, they just have to wait for these wild wolves to rush up continuously and consume the physical strength of the guards, and then they can move forward and kidnap the imperial concubine effortlessly.
Thinking of this, the leading small leader, Ah Chai, who was also Wu Lun's trusted confidant, sneered and said, "It's almost there, it's almost there."
“…”
"My dears, hurry up and charge forward. Kill as many as you can. Even if you can't kill them, you have to drag them to death. This way, we can save ourselves some trouble."
He had lived in the wilderness for decades since he was a child, rolling around with wild beasts, understanding the habits of wild wolves, and possessing a special talent, which was to drive away wolf packs.
At this moment, it was under his drive that the wild wolves continued to rush upwards.
He grinned and said, "Li Lai told us to follow, but Xue Ling told us not to follow. Now it seems that Li Lai was right."
“…”
"This noble concubine has indeed gone to Bailong City."
“…”
"Whether she's going there to take care of her pregnancy, or really going there to get the antidote as Li Lai suspected, there's nothing wrong in kidnapping her."
“…”
"With her, and the prince in her belly, we can negotiate with the emperor."
The person next to him hesitated and said, "Does she really have that much power?"
"Of course. Haven't you heard that the Imperial Concubine is the most powerful concubine in the palace?"
"Isn't there a queen? It seems the queen is older than the concubine?"
"That—never mind. In any case, the title of Imperial Concubine must be very valuable, otherwise why is it called Imperial Concubine? The Emperor only brought this one concubine with him to Shazhouwei this time. Doesn't that mean she is very important?"
"That's true."
"Besides, if she is not important, then the baby in her belly is not important? That's the prince!"
“…”
"This emperor has been on the throne for so many years, and he only has one son. How could he not cherish children? As long as we kidnap this concubine, we will have another handle in our hands."
"That's right."
Having said that, Achai looked up and forward again.
In the distance where the fire was shining, although he could only vaguely see the yellow cloth wall still standing like a solid wall of steel, protecting the imperial concubine, he believed that under the attack of the wolves, the soldiers would soon be defeated.
but……
It's been so long, why is it still not working?
All that could be heard was the wolves' continuous and shrill howls, but the crowd over there seemed to be still in good order, even strictly disciplined, with no sign of panicking at all due to the impact.
I couldn't help but frowned: "What's going on?"
In fact, the wolves did cause considerable trouble to the guards protecting Nan Yan. After countless waves of wolves' attacks, their arrows were almost exhausted.
But the wolves still kept rushing forward.
If this continues, I'm afraid long-range shooting will not be effective.
You can only use real swords and guns and fight at close range.
In fact, this was nothing to them. After all, everyone was an elite member of the imperial guards, and such close combat was child's play for them.
However, close combat means that the danger is closer.
If there is a mistake anywhere and the wolf rushes into the cloth wall and injures the imperial concubine, they will not be able to afford the compensation even if they have nine lives.
But at this time, they had no choice at all.
When the last arrow shot through the air and hit a flying wolf, it rolled to the ground howling in pain. Countless black shadows rushed towards this side from behind. The leader of the guards immediately shouted, "Protect the Royal Concubine!"
"yes!"
The people around shouted in unison.
Following the shouts of these people, swords were unsheathed, emitting cold rays that added countless icy snow lights to the dark night. Even the wind blowing on their faces became more biting and sharper.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at Nan Yan with some concern.
He whispered, "My Lady, are you okay?"
She was pregnant, what if something unexpected really happened? Even if there was no accident, such a situation would scare her, and even if it didn't scare her, it would scare the child in her belly.
But Nan Yan didn't say anything.
With a meaningful expression on his face, he reached out and touched his slightly protruding belly.
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "My Lady?"
Nan Yan looked at her and shook her head, "I'm fine."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu wanted to say something, but shouts and cries of killing were heard outside.
The wolves completely surrounded them and began to rush forward fiercely. The imperial guards were well-trained. They rushed forward, waving swords in their hands, and fought with the wolves.
In an instant, blood splattered.
Through the firelight, Nan Yan watched the figure reflected on the yellow cloth, as nimble as a tiger, tangling and fighting with the wild wolves. When she opened her eyes wide and saw a sturdy wild wolf leap up and about to pounce into the yellow cloth wall, a guard suddenly rushed forward, taking advantage of the momentum and slashing with the long sword in his hand -
“Ouch!”
Then a shrill howl from the wild wolf was heard, and then the shadow reflected on the yellow cloth was split in half, and blood spurted onto the yellow cloth.
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
It felt like blood was sprayed all over my face.
Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing by, was even more terrified. She almost reached out to hug Nan Yan and said, "My Lady, if you are afraid, just close your eyes."
“…”
"I will protect you!"
Nan Yan turned to look at her, was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, I——"
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her. The two were about to say something when they heard a few low growls coming from the other side. Turning around, they saw that several wolves over there had also been chopped to the ground. However, after fighting for a long time, the guards were all injured.
They covered their wounds, and blood dripped down.
The bandits in the distance were slowly approaching in the night. The bodies of the wolves they had chopped down were scattered all over the ground. The bloody sight moved them a little.
One of them said, "These people are really tough."
"Yeah, even at this point, you still refuse to give up."
"How long do we have to wait?"
The wolf-chaser, Ah Chai, gritted his teeth and said, "No need to wait any longer. They are already exhausted. Let's charge forward and rob that imperial concubine!"
Everyone immediately said, "Okay!"
Suddenly, they rushed out from the night and rushed forward.
