Chapter 152 You Need to Repay the Money You Spent on Buying Weapons
"No? Why aren't you riding your own horse?" Tuoba Yan'er looked up at Jiang Wan Ning on horseback.
"hot pot."
Upon hearing these two words, Tuoba Yan'er immediately turned around and walked towards Jiang Wan Ning's horse.
After all four of them mounted their horses, Tuoba Yan'er asked, "What's the name of your horse?"
"Didn't the princess tell you? It's called hot pot."
Tuoba Yan'er: ......
"Weren't you going to treat me to hot pot?"
"drive!"
"Hey, wait a minute..." Tuoba Yan'er squeezed her legs tightly around the horse's flanks and chased after it.
As soon as they emerged from the woods, they were surrounded by people.
“I knew that beast wouldn’t just disappear for no reason; it turns out it was found,” one of them said.
Tuoba Yan'er gripped the reins tightly, "Beast!"
"Grandma, I was planning to teach you a lesson when I came back next time, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my door."
"know?"
Tuoba Yan'er clenched her fists so tightly they made a cracking sound. "Even if you turn to ashes, I might not recognize you."
"But I know it now."
"This is the innkeeper. The waiter who died was one of the more conscientious ones among them."
"If it weren't for him protecting me, I'm afraid I would have been killed by these beasts long ago."
Jiang Wan Ning also wanted to know who was impersonating the Prince of Langya, so she drew her long whip and threw it to Tuoba Yan'er.
Both of them were whip wielders. "Here, this is for you."
"And what about you?"
"Haitang," Jiang Wanning called out.
Haitang immediately drew the soft sword from her waist. "Your Highness, catch!"
Haitang always carries two swords with her, one of which is a soft sword that Pei Yanchuan gave to Jiang Wanning, with its scabbard sewn into her belt.
The hilt is so thin that it's usually unnoticeable.
"Good heavens!" Tuoba Yan'er exclaimed.
The four rushed forward, and the other side appeared to be about ten people.
The four of them were all quite skilled, and they quickly took care of everyone.
Jiang Wan Ning pointed her sword at the shopkeeper, "Who are you acting on my orders?"
The shopkeeper suddenly burst into laughter, "Do you really think you can leave this place after you've dealt with us?"
"To tell you the truth, there are ambushes all ahead, just to leave your souls here."
After saying this, the shopkeeper pointed his finger hard at his heart, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and fainted, his eyes rolling back in his head.
“This beast is just a small fry; they have powerful backers. I’ve seen them before,” Tuoba Yan’er said.
"It seems someone doesn't want you to return safely."
Jiang Wan Ning didn't speak, which probably meant she not only didn't want him to go back, but also didn't want him to go to the frontier.
As long as she cannot reach the frontier, the granaries cannot be opened, and the people and soldiers will not have enough to eat.
The four continued on their horses.
Before we had gone more than ten miles, we saw a dark mass ahead.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Haitang rode her horse to Jiang Wanning's side.
"This is the only road for the next hundred miles; we have no choice but to force our way through."
The chances of winning by forcing your way in are slim, but the chances of winning by not trying are even slimmer.
"If you obediently hand over the granary, I'll let you die a little easier," the leader said.
So they came for the granary. "Don't even think about it."
"If I die, even if a god comes, he won't be able to open the granary."
To prevent any problems with the granaries, Jiang Wanning sealed off several large granaries closest to the border.
The requirement is that only the person present and holding the correct cards can open the game.
The guards of the granary were all outlaws from the martial arts world, and it was precisely these kinds of people who valued loyalty the most.
Jiang Wanning had helped them before.
"Hahaha... If I can't open it, I'll kill those people and force my way in."
Are you sure you know the location of the granary?
The man paused noticeably, and Jiang Wan Ning breathed a sigh of relief; the location of the granary she had chosen was extremely secluded.
"Enough with the nonsense," the leader shouted. "Since you don't want to die an easy death..."
"Then I will cut off your hands and feet and torture you until you will talk."
Jiang Wan Ning didn't waste any more words. She threw a dart, and the leader slightly turned to the side.
He wiped his neck, his hands stained with bright red blood. If he had reacted even a fraction slower, he would already be meeting the King of Hell.
"Damn it, get him!" The leader was enraged and spurred his horse forward.
Jiang Wan Ning and the other three had no choice but to fight despite their difficulties.
Seeing that the number of enemies they killed was increasing, the four of them were starting to tire. "Your Highness, this can't go on."
"I'll try to break through a path; you guys leave first."
Jiang Wan Ning looked at Hai Tang seriously, "Take back what you just said."
"You two, come back with me the way you came out."
Even if they can't go back together, she had already made another plan.
He wrote in advance to Pei Yanchuan and the guards of the granary, informing them that if he could not arrive within three days,
Pei Yanchuan was then instructed to take the letter and the token to the granary.
The letter also included the exact location of the granary.
The delivery of the letter was also extremely secretive; she hid it inside the belly of the gyrfalcon.
He taught Pei Yanchuan how to use anesthetic to remove the letter from his abdomen.
A strange feeling welled up in Haitang's heart. She was content to have followed such a master in this life.
He rushed to the front to protect Jiang Wan Ning.
Haitang was stabbed in the arm, and Jiang Wanning stabbed her through with her own sword.
"Haitang, are you alright?"
Haitang shook her head, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm not going to die."
Jiang Wan Ning raised her hand and severed the arm of the assassin who was wielding a knife. "Hold on."
“At this rate, we won’t be able to get through,” Tuoba Yan’er said.
"We have to push forward even if we can't get through. There's no way back, and if we get there, there might be more people than here."
"I never thought I would die here instead of at that post station."
Tuoba Yan'er sighed, "Well, at least I had a hot pot meal before I died, so it's not a bad deal."
"But if I get out there, I'll gouge your eyes out and use them to make a hot pot!"
Tuoba Yan'er lashed out with her whip at the man in black, who had originally been aiming for the peony, and a bloody gash immediately appeared on his back.
"Fire!" the leader of the men in black ordered when he saw that he couldn't capture the enemy.
Tuoba Yan'er looked up at the dense swarm of black arrows flying through the sky and sighed, "Mother, this has turned the place into a hornet's nest!"
"Retreat!" Jiang Wanning shouted.
She wouldn't let go of any chance of survival.
"Chase them!" the man in black ordered.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" a male voice called out.
Jiang Wan Ning looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man lying suspiciously in the bushes.
"Ah San?" Peony recognized the disguised man. "What are you doing here?"
Ah San beckoned, "Come here quickly."
Seeing that the people behind her were closely following, Jiang Wan Ning had no choice but to walk into the crevice in the mountain ahead.
"Your Highness, I have a way to deal with those people," Ah San said with a grin. "But you need to reimburse me for the money spent on those weapons..."
Jiang Wanning: ......
Well, another greedy one.
"If you help me get through this difficult time, I will certainly reward you handsomely."
"Everyone says the princess is magnanimous, and it's true," Ah San said with a grin. "Just you wait and see."
