Since Bao Ping was unfamiliar with the village, it wouldn't be difficult for Nashibai to shake them off.
To his surprise, the village dogs started barking wherever he went, immediately giving away his whereabouts.
Bao Ping, with a few soldiers, quickly followed.
Nashbai ran wildly ahead, with people chasing closely behind.
Soon, Nashbai arrived outside the village, and the barking of dogs ceased.
Chasing after someone in the dark, desolate wilderness is extremely difficult.
But Bao Ping was no ordinary man either. He was very experienced in pursuit, and by the faint light of a waning moon, he quickly discerned the direction Nashbai had fled in.
At this time, Li Guang and his craftsmen were still busy in the workshop. In order to meet the deadline and not affect the work in the fields, they worked until late at night every day.
Li Guang worked very hard during this time, and Meng Yaoyao felt very sorry for him. Every night she would wait for Li Guang to finish his work before accompanying him back to the farm.
It was past midnight when Li Guang was preparing to finish his work and go home, when he suddenly remembered something.
It was now the season for sweet potato cuttings, and he wanted to check on the growth of the sweet potato vines so that he could arrange for people to take cuttings in the next few days.
He was busy during the day and couldn't get away, so he could only go out at this time to check on things and arrange the farm work.
"Yaoyao, you go back to the farm first. I have some things to take care of and I'll go back as soon as I'm done."
Meng Yaoyao saw that there were still many craftsmen on the construction site, and they were all spending the night there, as there was no danger.
"Husband, please go home early after you finish your work. I'll go back and prepare some hot water first."
After Meng Yaoyao finished speaking, she left with her two attendants.
Seeing that Meng Yaoyao had left, Li Guang carried a lantern to the sweet potato field to check on the growth of the sweet potato vines.
The construction site by the lake was not far from the farm. Meng Yaoyao quickly arrived near the farm, and after walking a few more steps, she would be home.
Suddenly, Meng Yaoyao noticed that someone was running towards them from the front, and it seemed that a group of people were chasing after them.
The three of them stopped to see what was going on.
The path in the field was not wide, and after the three of them stopped, they basically blocked the path.
The one rushing towards them was none other than Nashbai.
At this moment, Nasba was like a frightened bird, panicking and running around aimlessly. Suddenly, he saw three people standing in front of him and was greatly surprised, thinking that they were government officials who had arrested him.
There were people blocking his way ahead and pursuers behind, but fortunately there were only three people in front of him. He had no choice but to rush past them.
Nashbai did not slow down, but charged towards the three men, suddenly raising his sword and thrusting it at one of their followers.
The three were taken aback, and Meng Yaoyao shouted:
"Get out of the way."
But it was too late; the sword struck the follower squarely in the chest.
All of this happened so suddenly. Meng Yaoyao never dreamed that they would be attacked in the middle of the night. At this moment, she didn't have time to think and immediately started fighting with Nashbai.
Meng Yaoyao had practiced martial arts since childhood and was quite skilled. Under her fierce attack, she actually forced Nashi Bai to retreat repeatedly.
Unfortunately, Meng Yaoyao did not bring any weapons, and that was all she could do; she was unable to defeat Nashibai.
Nasba was panicked and lost his composure, but when he realized that there were only a few women in front of him and not government pursuers, he quickly regained his composure.
The pursuers are close behind. To escape as quickly as possible, we must launch a fierce attack and finish the battle quickly.
Nashbai's martial arts skills were indeed formidable. At this moment, he was no longer flustered when he made his moves, and every move could kill his opponent.
Meng Yaoyao was quickly outmatched by Nashibai and had no chance to fight back. If she held on a little longer, the pursuers would catch up.
Nashbai knew this, of course. He didn't have much time left. If he couldn't defeat the woman in front of him in time, he would have no chance to escape.
Thinking of this, he pulled a package from his pocket and threw it at Meng Yaoyao.
It seems that Nashbai doesn't even take off his clothes when he sleeps at night, always on guard against potential risks.
The package from Nash White hit Meng Yaoyao in the face and exploded instantly.
Meng Yaoyao suddenly felt a burning pain in both eyes and screamed.
She can't see anything anymore and has lost her fighting ability.
At the same time, Nashbai's sword also pierced through, heading straight for Meng Yaoyao's throat.
A follower standing nearby was terrified. Seeing that Nashbai was about to stab Meng Yaoyao, she had no choice but to charge headfirst into Nashbai.
The attendant was desperate to protect her young master. She didn't know if this would save Meng Yaoyao, but it was all she could do.
The attendant's actions were futile; even if she could knock Nashbai down, the young master's throat would have already been pierced.
At this critical moment, Nashbai saw a flash of red light before his eyes, followed by a sharp, bone-deep pain. He felt one of his eyes being gouged out alive.
Nashbai's sword fell to the ground. He covered his face with his hands, but before he could cry out, he was knocked to the ground by his attendants.
The attendant never expected that he would knock Nashbai down, and the sword would fall to the ground.
At this moment, Nashbai rolled on the ground, howling loudly, his face a bloody mess.
The attendant was overjoyed, but soon sensed something was wrong. Judging from Nashbai's condition, he was seriously injured, which couldn't have been caused by him. So what had happened?
At this moment, Bao Ping and the others had caught up. They had all seen the fight and knew that Nashi Bai had been stopped and subdued by these women.
Several men stepped forward, disregarding Nashbai's life or death, and tied him up to prevent him from escaping again.
Having caught Nashibai, Bao Ping was completely relieved and began to check on the injuries of Meng Yaoyao and the other two.
Bao Ping was very grateful to the three women; without their help, Nashbai would have escaped.
If this arrest fails and Na Shi escapes for nothing, I will be unable to answer to Prefect Shen, and Prefect Shen will be unable to answer to the imperial court. I will then become a sinner.
Bao Ping roughly examined their injuries. Meng Yaoyao's eyes may have been burned by some kind of powder, and her eyes must be cleaned and treated immediately. The attendant was pierced through the chest by Nashi Bai's sword, and his injury was serious. It was unknown whether he could be saved.
"General, please save our young master!" the attendant pleaded.
"Where do you live? Is there a doctor nearby?"
“We live in the farmhouse up ahead. The doctor is in the village. I’ll go and ask him.”
Bao Ping looked up and saw that the farm was just ahead, only a few steps away.
"Everyone go to the farm first, and immediately go to the village to fetch the doctor."
"Yes, sir."
The group immediately led the wounded into the farm, while two soldiers rushed to the village to fetch a doctor.
As soon as they arrived at the farm gate, more than a dozen fully armed guards rushed over. They were sent by Zhao Xian to cooperate with Bao Ping in capturing Na Shibai.
