Chapter 481 Northern Territory (5)
The guard lowered his gun. "No, only the lady returned with two friends. May I ask who you are? You look unfamiliar."
"Never mind who I am, take me to see the general's wife first."
Even after Mo Lang and Ling Xiao entered the General's Mansion, Tian Gui was still wandering around the city.
He couldn't keep up with the people, got lost, couldn't find the general's mansion, and then encountered a patrol of soldiers who arrested him.
Waaah... Xiao Ge and that guy in black aren't human, no one can run that fast!
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they ran, they were still too late.
Inside the general's mansion, several maids and nannies lay on the floor, while half-eaten dishes sat on the dining table in the living room.
"They put a sleeping potion in the soup!" Mo Lang's cold eyes showed panic.
The guards outside were even more shocked, their faces turning ashen.
They didn't hear a thing!
"They dug a hole under the wall over there; that's how they got out."
"Quick, after them!"
Suddenly, a faint cry of a baby came from one of the rooms.
Everyone rushed in and found the child hiding under the bed.
“They’ve all been arrested,” Mo Lang said. “Three of them.”
What bad luck!
"What three?" Ling Xiao stared at the child on the bed, unable to look away.
He was so small, his eyes weren't even open yet, all wrinkled, his arms were raised, his fists were clenched, and he was whimpering as he cried.
So pitiful.
"Stop asking, come with me and chase after them!"
...
Moonlight shone on the wilderness as a horse-drawn carriage sped by.
Along the roadside, several people carried the unconscious person and turned to enter the dark woods.
"Once Gu Chengye catches up with the empty carriage, we will have safely arrived in Beidi."
"Hopefully, the brothers hiding in the military camp can hold out a little longer."
"That's really strange. Where did the military camp go? We can't find it anywhere."
“It’s alright. I heard that Gu Chengye cherishes his wife very much. With his wife by his side, I’m not afraid that he won’t teach us the cannon manufacturing blueprints.”
"But which of these three is his wife?"
The conversation paused for a moment.
“A first wife, a second wife, and a third wife; all three of them are wives.”
"That's not how you say 'go all out'; it should be 'one wife and two concubines'."
"Who cares? They're all his women anyway. I don't believe he'll just stand by and watch them die."
"Hehehe—" Several birds fluttered away in the woods.
A sinister aura rose up from beside me.
"Thump!"
One person fell down.
"Light the torches, it's so dark here, who can see the way?"
"Thump!" Another person fell to the ground.
Strangely, neither of the two people who fell to the ground moved or got up again.
"What are you two doing? Get up!"
"Don't go over there, something's not right."
The remaining three people listened intently to their surroundings, but there was no sound.
Looking back at the two people lying on the ground, the woman who should have been unconscious moved, raised her hand, and a cloud of white mist spread out.
"Mi... Thump!"
"Wrong, it's Overlord Sleeping Drug!" The woman got up and shook her head.
Qiaoxiu gave her a bunch of self-defense medicine!
The drug those bastards put in the soup was too strong. She felt dizzy and quickly took the antidote. She also gave some to her sisters Qingyu and Jingshu. It wasn't until now that she woke up.
The two older sisters are still not awake!
"Sister, sister, wake up..."
Qingyao quickly helped the two people who had fallen to the ground up and pinched their philtrum.
Wen Qingyu woke up first.
She clutched her stomach to ease her weakness.
Looking at the Northern Di man lying on the ground in front of him, he pulled out a dagger hidden in his boot and, without hesitation, slashed the neck of the man next to him.
"Qingyao, quickly check them again. We absolutely cannot leave any hidden dangers."
"Okay!"
Qingyao swallowed hard and took the knife.
She's never killed anyone before.
But these weren't people, so she treated them like dogs being killed.
He slashed someone's neck in one swift motion.
Yeah, easier to kill than a dog.
It doesn't make a sound.
When there was only one left, the man suddenly sprang up and threw a handful of lime powder at her before disappearing into the woods.
"My eyes hurt so much!" Qingyao cried out, covering her eyes.
"Qingyao!" Wen Qingyu quickly helped her up and cleaned her up.
At this moment, Shen Jingshu also woke up, feeling as if her waist was broken and that she had lost a lot of blood.
A gust of wind blew by, and her teeth chattered.
Hearing Qingyao's shout, he bit his tongue hard to clear his head.
She remembered what she had read in the book.
"Don't open your eyes, find water, quickly find water to rinse."
“Water…” Wen Qingyu looked at the forest, where a hazy mountain silhouette could be seen in the distance.
She immediately recognized where she was.
Her husband had taken her hunting before.
"There's a river just ahead, let's hurry and cross it."
But Qingyao could no longer see the road and almost tripped and fell.
Shen Jingshu took out some oil from the Liao man and lit a torch.
"We need to hurry, or our eyes will be ruined."
Wen Qingyu gritted her teeth and squatted down. "Qingyao, I'll carry you on my back."
"No, Sister Qingyu, I know you're pregnant."
During the meal, she noticed Wen Qingyu vomiting several times, and she also heard the nanny's instructions.
The baby must be less than three months old, which is why she didn't say so.
This is the most dangerous time; how could she carry heavy objects?
Qingyao refused to let her carry her.
He took her hand and had her lead the way.
"I won't go blind. Sister Qingqing is the best. She can definitely cure me."
Even so, she was terrified, and her hands were trembling.
She can't see anymore.
I can't see anything.
I'm so scared.
Shen Jingshu couldn't carry her on her back; her own body was swaying.
The three people, carrying torches, stumbled forward in search of water.
Finally, we arrived at the river.
The moonlight shimmered and sparkled on the water's surface.
Wen Qingyu hurriedly helped Qingyao rinse her face repeatedly.
Until Qingyao was able to open her eyes.
"How about it?"
"Still, I can't see..."
Wen Qingyu and Shen Jingshu's hearts sank.
“It’s my fault… I shouldn’t have let you go to the General’s Mansion…” Wen Qingyu murmured.
"It's okay, Sister Qingqing will heal me. She can even bring the dead back to life."
Under the moonlight, Qingyao looked up at her fair face with an exaggerated smile.
Shen Jingshu turned her head away, wanting to cry.
But as she turned her head, she saw a group of green eyes.
