Hongshao looked in the direction where Yu Shuang disappeared, her expression complicated. After hearing the order, she respectfully nodded in agreement.
The guards set off first, with Hongshao riding a horse with the princess. However, the princess, being of noble birth, cried out in pain from the jolting on horseback.
Hongshao had no choice but to slow down, and soon the two of them fell far behind.
...
A carriage sped past on the official road.
Inside the carriage, Li Muchen, who was in a state of apparent death, was pale and bloodless, with even death spots appearing on his skin.
Someone fed him a pill, and the next moment his eyelids twitched.
As time went by, the dead spots on his body faded, and his complexion gradually regained its color.
His eyelids twitched, and soon he slowly opened his eyes.
The subordinates standing nearby looked delighted upon seeing this.
"Young master, you're awake?!"
After recovering, Li Muchen immediately learned of their current predicament and revealed a victor's smile.
Having escaped this life-or-death ordeal, his future was now bright and promising...
Since the situation in the north cannot shake the foundation for the time being, let's put it aside for now and wait for the pieces placed in key positions to slowly ferment.
First, focus your energy on planning things in the south.
The carriage arrived at a pre-arranged post station.
After resting for a while and changing horses, they were about to continue their journey.
The sound of horses' hooves approached from afar, and everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
I didn't expect the pursuers to arrive so quickly.
Perhaps they weren't there to hunt them down.
They dare not gamble.
Going out now would obviously mean running into people outside, and a direct confrontation is not a wise choice.
They exchanged a glance and, without another word, disappeared into the backyard of the inn.
There they had their secret weapons prepared for the uprising...
When Yu Shuang and her party arrived at the post station, a postman came out. He was respectful and answered all their questions without hesitation.
They mentioned that the group they were looking for had just changed horses and left not long ago, and then pointed in a direction.
Yu Shuang did not send anyone to chase after them. Without warning, she lashed out with her whip, sending one of the post station workers flying and seriously injuring him.
"You shifty-eyed wretch, you don't look like a good person at all, and your acting is absolutely terrible. You must be one of Li Muchen's gang, covering for him here. Arrest him and interrogate him severely."
"The person is definitely still in here. You guys, go to the backyard and block them."
Courier: ! ! ? ?
No, you just figured out so easily that he was in cahoots with his master?
Having been an undercover agent for many years, he has always been confident in his acting skills, so how could he be so terrible?
Does this legendary female general possess extraordinary insight?
He disagreed! He protested!!
His protests were ineffective, and he submitted once the whip lashed his body.
In a daze, he met a pair of deep, unfathomable eyes, and as if possessed, he betrayed Li Muchen completely.
I snapped back to reality in an instant, utterly shocked.
Sorcery! It must be sorcery! How could he possibly betray his master?!?
Yu Shuang nodded in satisfaction. Hypnosis, though simple, was quite effective.
Although the evidence at the scene indicated that the person was still inside the station, she could have recklessly rushed in to arrest them.
However, for the safety of your subordinates, it's best to know your enemy and yourself, and be cautious.
Sure enough, they managed to get information from the courier that there was explosives hidden there.
It was intended for use in the future Sangnan uprising.
Those guys were hiding in the backyard, just waiting for them to come over and become fried meat.
Yu Shuang immediately ordered her men to guard the outside to prevent any escapees from getting away, while she ignored her men's objections and bravely ventured into the post station alone.
The backyard of the post station.
Li Muchen and his group hid in a corner, waiting for their prey to come to them.
They were greatly shocked when they saw Yu Shuang appear in a grand and imposing manner.
Who would dare come alone? Is this person just here to die?!
Their eyes blazed with fury, their hatred boundless.
The destruction of Sangnan deserves the greatest credit!
The people of Sangnan regarded him as an enemy.
Regardless, today is her death day!
Although it's a bit too lenient on her, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
Women should stay in their boudoirs, waiting to get married, be good wives and mothers. To come out into the world and even go to the battlefield is simply going against the natural order!
They exchanged a glance and began to plan their hunt.
Yu Shuang had long since replaced the whip in her hand with a long sword.
Suddenly stop at a certain spot.
Do a bunch of rats hiding in the gutter really think they're well hidden?
Without warning, she threw the long sword in her hand and then moved swiftly.
brush!
The long knife pierced into a cage, its force undiminished, and then entered another body.
A muffled groan was heard.
"Well…"
That man died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
He hadn't even started his surprise attack, so how did he end up being attacked instead?
Truly... lacking in martial ethics...
Yu Shuang grabbed the long sword and pulled it out, drawing blood.
In this game of hide-and-seek, Yu Shuang secured the first kill.
The others were enraged and sprang into action.
They no longer cared about hiding or launching a sneak attack, and all attacked Yu Shuang at once.
However, to everyone's astonishment, Yu Shuang's strength was ridiculously high!
In just one exchange, the group was defeated and coughed up blood.
"Die!!"
At the critical moment, Li Muchen lit the gunpowder and threw it at Yu Shuang, thus saving his companion from being slaughtered by Yu Shuang.
The next moment.
The gunpowder barrel seemed to have encountered an invisible wall of air, freezing for a moment.
It bounced back at the same speed and landed precisely on a pile of explosives next to someone.
"Boom boom boom!!..."
