Lu Baichuan quickly pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped. He looked around warily, then asked with concern, "Wife, are you alright?"
"fine."
Jiang Jiuniang threw the arrow in her hand with a backhand motion, and a loud thud was heard from the shadows as a figure fell to the ground.
"If you're going to fight, then come out and fight openly and honestly. Hurry up and don't delay our journey."
Jiang Jiuniang was a little disgusted. Wouldn't this stop her from eating mutton rice noodles?
Seeing their companion die so quickly, the assassins in the shadows were enraged and appeared one by one, rushing towards the family of three in the carriage.
Lu Baichuan had already rushed forward and was fighting with a group of people.
Just as Jiang Jiuniang was about to make her move, Gou'er said, "Mother, you rest well on the side, let me try!"
Hearing this, Jiang Jiuniang felt a little nervous for the first time.
She had let Gou'er train before, but those people weren't very capable, so she could rest assured. But this time, the people who came were too strong, and Gou'er definitely couldn't beat them.
"Mother, please let me try. I will do what I can."
The dog looked pleading, and after hesitating for a moment, Jiang Jiuniang agreed.
She didn't focus on dealing with the assassin, but instead concentrated on watching the dog's performance.
The dog took out the soft sword from its waist and rushed out.
He was young and not very strong in front of these assassins, but he was agile and could deliver a fatal blow when his opponents were not paying attention.
Jiang Jiuniang watched very attentively. At first, her heart was in her throat, but she gradually relaxed.
The dog performed even better than she had expected. Occasionally, when she missed something, the dog would lend a hand, and she didn't have to worry about the rest.
The assassins were mainly after Lu Baichuan. At first, they didn't take Jiang Jiuniang and Gou'er seriously. However, Jiang Jiuniang turned out to be a hidden master, and Gou'er's abilities were not to be underestimated. Even if they couldn't kill one person cleanly, they could hold off one or two and then launch a sneak attack to kill them.
The assassins suddenly felt a lot of pressure, but fortunately, they realized at the crucial moment that Gou'er was Lu Baichuan's lifeline. As long as they captured Gou'er, they could control Lu Baichuan. So, everyone turned their attention to Gou'er.
There was no way around it; the dog was the weakest member of the family.
This infuriated Jiang Jiuniang, and she was about to help when Lu Baichuan stopped her and went to protect the dog himself.
My wife is pregnant, so naturally I can't let her go.
Jiang Jiuniang didn't want to move, but she also didn't want to see her husband and son in danger.
Every medicine has its side effects, but for the sake of her unborn child, she didn't plan to use any medicine. Instead, she took out a handful of silver needles.
Because they were a bit far away and she was worried about hitting Gou'er and Lu Baichuan, Jiang Jiuniang didn't aim for their vital points. At most, her attack would have a disruptive effect, allowing Gou'er and Lu Baichuan to finish their battle quickly.
When it ended, there were a bunch of people lying on the ground, and the father and son were also injured, but fortunately their injuries were not serious.
Jiang Jiuniang was heartbroken and took the dog to the carriage to apply medicine to him.
Although she knew that it was impossible for martial artists to avoid getting injured, and that Gou'er's injury was only minor, Jiang Jiuniang still felt heartbroken and shed tears. The tears fell as if they were free.
"Mommy, don't cry, it doesn't hurt. Did I do well today?"
The dog deliberately changed the subject; although his injuries hurt quite a bit, he was smiling more happily than anyone else.
After today's practical experience, he knows his true abilities, his strengths and weaknesses, and he can focus on practicing those areas in the future. In his opinion, this is a good thing and something to be happy about.
"Absolutely fantastic!"
Although she couldn't hold back her tears, Jiang Jiuniang's answer was honest: her son was truly more outstanding than anyone else.
"Then please stop crying, Mother."
The dog used its uninjured hand to wipe her eyes, and Jiang Jiuniang felt a warm glow in her heart. Her emotions quickly subsided, and at the same time, the dog's wound was treated.
The dog went outside to keep watch, while Lu Baichuan took over treating the wound.
Then, the sexy pregnant woman cried again...
Lu Baichuan held the dog and coaxed it for a while. The dog looked helpless and squashed its ears. Then it quietly took out two wads of cotton and stuffed them in, and only then did it feel less embarrassed.
By the time Lu Baichuan had calmed the person down, it was already dark.
Lu Baichuan was injured, and Jiang Jiuniang took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat. Although Lu Baichuan felt that he could handle it, the pregnant woman was crying all the time, and he dared not provoke her.
After the flight began, Gou'er admired the night view for a while, then turned to Lu Baichuan and asked, "Father, why didn't you tell Uncle Jing and Mr. Kang about our encounter with assassins today? Wouldn't that have put them on guard? What if they weren't on guard and things became even more difficult to handle?"
After dealing with everyone, Gou'er asked Lu Baichuan if he wanted to send a message to Liangzhou City, but Lu Baichuan refused.
“This is a critical time. Even if we don’t remind them, they will be more careful. There’s no need to. Most of these people are Liao Yifeng’s external forces, or they are people behind him trying to take revenge for him. They are the same group that Mr. Kang and his group are dealing with. It will take a lot of time to clean them up. We can’t rush it.”
During this period, Lu Baichuan noticed that his son had some misunderstandings about certain things, so he wanted to take this opportunity to explain them to him.
In Gou'er's eyes, his parents did everything very quickly, which led him to think that things went through a very fast process from beginning to end. He simplified complex matters and therefore did not take them too seriously.
This can easily lead him to be careless when handling matters, and haste makes waste.
"Take our feud with Dongting for example. For so many years, we have been trying to catch Dongting's spies. We have caught a lot of them, but we have not been able to eradicate them completely. Many things cannot be accomplished simply by being fast."
The dog was a little confused. The question he had just asked didn't seem to have much to do with what his father had said. He was just worried about Mr. Kang and the others' safety!
It was rare for Lu Baichuan to lecture his child, and Jiang Jiuniang initially didn't want to speak up. However, seeing that what he said was completely different from what Gou'er was asking, she couldn't help but help explain: "Son, what your father means is that even if we don't tell them, they can still take precautions and handle things. At the same time, he wants to tell you that things in Liangzhou City are very complicated and not easy to deal with. Many people are involved, and we need to slowly plan and take them all down in one fell swoop. Don't think things are too simple."
The dog finally understood and nodded seriously.
His thinking was indeed very simple; he thought that capturing a few people alive and interrogating them would be enough. But in reality, no matter what you do, you need solid evidence; otherwise, you still won't be able to do anything to the other party.
Lu Baichuan was a little embarrassed. That was exactly what he wanted to say, so why did his expression sound different from his wife's?
Jiang Jiuniang smiled mysteriously and said, "Starting tomorrow, you'll read storybooks with me. The more you read, the better your expression will become."
Lu Baichuan read books in classical Chinese, except for vernacular stories, which were simple, easy to understand, and easy to learn.
"...Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Lu Baichuan was somewhat resistant; that stuff was rather boring, and he'd rather read more military books.
"Um?"
Jiang Jiuniang gave him a look, letting him figure it out for himself.
At this moment, the dog happily pointed to a city below and said, "Daddy, Mommy, we've arrived at Qianzhou City!"
