Chapter 410: Can you be strong for a while?
While Bai Chengren was anxiously ordering a large-scale search, he went to the Guanye Road, which was ten miles away from the front gate of Ancheng and was near the Guanye Road that was washed away by the mountain torrents.
"Boss."
Ling Chu wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly walked behind Sang Zhixia, whispering, "We managed to intercept them halfway, but this place is too close to Ancheng, and that dog-headed military advisor took advantage of the chaos and ran away with his men. I'm afraid we can't get through like this."
It was still early when they left the city, and there was plenty of gold paving the road, so no one would stop them from passing through.
But now it’s different from before.
The news of Qi Yan'er being kidnapped would soon reach Bai Chengren's ears. Judging from Bai Chengren's exasperation, a city search was inevitable.
All roads in and out of Ancheng were blocked, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to sneak in under strict inspection, but Qi Yan'er...
Sang Zhixia tightened her lips and turned her head, looking at the donkey cart that had been found from a farmer's house and was carrying Qi Yan'er. Her brows furrowed, "Can you think of a way to cover it up?"
Before leaving the city, Sang Zhixia had already thought it through. If Qi Lao and his companions wanted to enter the city from Huwei Mountain, they could only go through the back gate of Ancheng.
They left from the front gate of Ancheng and let the bearded man lead the way towards Guming Cliff.
It would be best to take action before Qi Yan'er is transferred out, take a shortcut around Ancheng, and return from another direction.
But man proposes, God disposes.
The people from Guming Cliff acted too quickly. They got Qi Yan'er out before they could even arrive at the destination. If they were a step slower, they would have reached Ancheng.
In a hurry, there was no time for anyone to make plans. Sang Zhixia had to rely on the number of people on his side to become a bandit and rob people by pretending to be a greedy bandit.
Fortunately, Military Advisor Hao and the others probably didn't expect that someone would rob them, so in order not to attract attention, they only brought a few kittens with them, and they succeeded in the robbery without much effort.
But if you kidnap someone, it will be a hot and troublesome problem.
This place is too close to Ancheng. If you run back, you may be caught in a double-sided pincer attack. If you run forward, you will be chased by Ancheng, and you will be caught in a dilemma.
Ling Chu pondered for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's difficult."
"If it were an ordinary person, I could certainly find a way to disguise myself and avoid being seen, but this person... is difficult to deal with."
Ling Chu wasn't even sure whether the person pulling the donkey cart could still be considered a human being.
His hands and feet were broken beyond recognition, and his body was covered in wounds, rot and festering.
The peculiar stench that could not be concealed and the horrific wounds on the body were shocking. Even the most skilled disguise master would probably scratch his head and say there was nothing he could do.
The characteristics that make Qi Yan'er different from others are so obvious that you can tell something is wrong at a glance.
and……
Ling Chu hesitated for a moment and whispered, "This man has been tortured for too long. Both feet are firmly on the threshold of hell. If he's not careful and his last breath is gone, everything will be gone."
Only when you are alive can you have something to talk about.
But Qi Yan'er was destined to die.
Ling Chu was afraid that Sang Zhixia's hesitation would bring trouble to her, so she boldly said, "Why don't you go into the city first and arrange a few people to hide the people in the nearby villages and wait..."
"That way I'll be fine, but if Qi Yan'er is discovered, no one in that village will survive."
Sang Zhixia shook her head to signal Ling Chu not to say anything more, and sighed: "It would be best if the task can be completed, but if it cannot be completed, we must not drag down innocent people."
"Bai Chengren will definitely order Ancheng to be searched first. As long as we can avoid the first wave of searches and then transfer people to Ancheng, the risk will be much smaller."
Places that have been searched without finding anything will generally not be searched a second time.
In other words, once this hurdle is passed, the next things will be much easier.
Ling Chu fell silent and didn't interrupt. Meng Pei, who was standing beside him, whispered, "This place is very close to the official road. Why don't we hide in the secret passage?"
"The secret passage there isn't a secret known only to you."
Sang Zhixia smiled bitterly and said, "Have you forgotten how you were abducted to Huwei Mountain?"
When talking about the past, Meng Pei touched his nose awkwardly and said nothing.
As if she had noticed the tense atmosphere, Qi Yan'er, who was lying on the donkey cart wrapped in a quilt, raised her head weakly and saw Sang Zhixia's tense profile from a distance.
Sang Zhixia noticed that her eyes were furrowed and she couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "Does it hurt?"
"Lingchu, do you have the painkillers? Or..."
“Hehehe…”
There was an empty tongue in Qi Yan'er's open mouth, and the sounds she tried to make made it difficult to tell what she wanted to say.
Sang Zhixia subconsciously wanted to open the medicine bottle, but Ling Chu said, "Boss, you can't take any more."
"In her situation, she knows pain, and it's a good thing that it hurts a lot."
Only unbearable pain can keep people awake.
If you lose the ability to feel pain, you're dead.
Sang Zhixia stopped as if she had been electrocuted, and Qi Yan'er's bloodshot eyes were filled with silent sorrow.
Qi Yan'er tried to raise her chin towards Sang Zhixia, her eyes fixed on the long knife in Ling Chu's hand, and a hoarse sound kept coming from her throat.
Meng Pei, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't hold it back any longer. He wiped his face heavily and said hoarsely, "She wanted to say, don't bother with her, just give her a quick death."
When a person reaches this point in his life, there is really no point in living any further.
Qi Yan'er had been suffering in an unknown place for a long time without any relief. She finally met an acquaintance like Meng Pei. The only thing she could think of before she went crazy from the torture of pain was death.
Death brings freedom.
When you die, everything is over.
When Qi Yan'er heard Meng Pei's words, she forced a smile of gratitude and tried to relax her brows. She didn't look like she was waiting to die, but rather like she was waiting to enter a long-awaited dream.
Sang Zhixia's heart trembled violently. She squatted down and looked into Qi Yan'er's eyes, saying word by word, "Do you still want to see your father again?"
Qi Yan'er's dilated pupils suddenly shrank. Although she couldn't speak, her dirty face was filled with disbelief.
Sang Zhixia said self-deprecatingly, "Your father helped me before, and I wanted to return the favor and ask your father to do me one more favor. That's why I went to save you."
"We didn't save you for nothing, so you don't have to feel like a burden to us."
Seeing Qi Yan'er's breath becoming more rapid as she became depressed, Sangzhi Xiaka seized the opportunity to explain, "Old Qi... is very worried about you."
"He has been controlled by others for many years. He is not afraid of your death, but he is afraid that he will die before you, while you are still controlled by the evil people and suffer."
"Old Qi once told me that if he saw you, he would send you on your way. It would be a rare relief for you, but I always feel that it's not that serious yet. We haven't reached that stage yet."
Sang Zhixia reached out and wiped away the tears that rolled down Qi Yan'er's eyes. She said softly, "You've endured so many days and nights. How can you bear not to let the old man look at you again?"
"Stay strong for a while, okay?"
"Give us a chance and let us think of another solution."
