Escape and Battle (2)

Originally, never mind not changing clothes for two three days, even if it’s longer than that, Jing Wan has also experienced before in her past life. Any discomfort, one can all get forced to get used to.

However, in this life, Jing Wan had reincarnated into a good family. Although not the wealthiest, but in terms of food and clothing, it all got meticulously taken care of. It wasn’t not changing for several days, but rather changing several times in one day. For more than ten years, it’s all been like this, especially in Jin Qinwang Manor, where it was even more meticulous, so right now, she kept feeling a bit itchy. Habit, this kind of thing, even if getting forced to change, it still can’t be changed within a short period of time. However, when having nothing to do, curling up in a certain someone’s embrace, letting him scratch for her, the feeling was actually quite satisfying and comfortable.

Jing Wan was rather comfortable, but Li Hong Yuan was a bit tormented. Originally, during Jing Wan’s pregnancy period, his chances of ‘eating’ were few to begin with, and this time, he further didn’t eat for a very long period of time. Feeling his wife’s smooth and soft skin, would he not have the slightest reaction at all?

But it was still the time, place, and condition all not allowing it, so at most can only kiss a few times to satisfy his craving.

On the third day, a shadow guard came to report that there was a squad of several dozen searching towards the direction of their current location. From their attire, they appeared to be ordinary villagers, even the things in hand were all things used by farmers.

However, it goes without saying, just how careless this disguise was. In this vast area, there were actually very few inhabitants. The nearest village was also several li away, and the households in the village were very few too. For several dozen strong young men to suddenly appear out of nowhere, to say there wasn’t anything fishy, who would believe? Even if it was bandits from some mountain, it was still impossible for there to be this many.

“These people really don’t want to give up.” Jing Wan coldly said.

“Merely just struggling on the deathbed, so naturally want to come out to try their luck, and not continuing to guard the various route, waiting for the opportunity to come.”

“This is feeling certain that I will be a burden, unable to walk far?” Even if Jing Wan herself very much had self-awareness, and never mind if it was getting viewed as such by their own people, but getting viewed as such by the enemy, she was just unhappy.

“This is also a fact, so Wan Wan don’t need to mind.” Li Hong Yuan even had the mood to tease her.

Jing Wan lightly rolled her eyes at him, “Just, is this because our luck is bad, or their luck is just too good?”

“Who knows? Let’s go.” Li Hong Yuan directly had Jing Wan picked up, his pace not the least bit slow.

And during their conversation, the others had the things that should be taken care of all swiftly taken care of, quickly following after.

Even though some traces, they didn’t have time to clean up, but it also didn’t matter. There were several places that were left with markings, and moreover, some were deliberately left behind. Following after the marks, they would just be going in circles. As for other places, if not someone that was particularly attentive and an expert in this area, then it would be impossible to discover. Moreover, they’ve also long scouted out the surroundings, knowing which places they can hide in, which places had a good view and not easy to be discovered, so leading them in a circle was very easy.

However, not long after, they just discovered a problem. This bunch didn’t fall for it, because they actually brought a hunting hound. The traces they left behind just now were still very fresh, so it was very easy for the hunting hound to find them.

Everyone’s expression turned solemn. Going in a circle, and then voluntarily leaving before the other side discovers, obviously won’t work now.

If one doesn’t want to be endlessly running for one’s life, then can only have that hunting hound taken care of.

TN: All

“Since that’s the case, then just have them all killed.” Li Hong Yuan calmly said, but the contents of his words were exceptionally cruel.

However, no one felt he was saying big words. When not directly facing, there were methods for not facing, but once they faced, there were also ways to deal with. The situation had long been considered for, so naturally had just thought of how to deal with.

No longer hesitating, they directly headed to the places that was previously prepared.

That places was both rugged and narrow, an excellent place for ‘one man blocking, a thousand men unable to pass’. However, although it was a great place, it was also considered a dead end, because there was just one entrance. When choosing to enter, leaving the path outside to the enemy, aside from victory, there was no other option.

It was like as if having the back against the cliff, one foot on the clouds. The place wasn’t big, having hanging vines at the entrance.

When finding this place, Jing Wan was also present, but at the time, she didn’t go in for a look. Right now, being inside, it really was quite an apprehensive feeling. However, Jing Wan was in the innermost position. Looking around, there was the temporarily made bows and arrows. They also had crossbows on them, just there weren’t many arrows left, else they wouldn’t need these temporary bows.

Although there was just ten of them, and the other side had as many as five to six times the amount of people, but even Jing Wan who didn’t have the slightest experience in this kind of matter wasn’t scared in the slightest. As long as it was handled appropriately, the possibility of completely annihilating the enemy, while also having one’s own side suffer zero damage, was very big. The only problem was not knowing whether or not these had gone back to look for helpers, and the helpers position and number were all unknown. That’s why, they need to end this as quickly as possible.

“Quick, quickly, they’re just ahead!” The person that spoke was quite excited, taking the lead.

High post, generous salary, and beauties were right in front waving at him, so how can he not be excited?

Don’t say something like it might not be the target. Firstly, this area was desolate and uninhabited, so there usually won’t be people moving about here, and secondly, if not suspicious, then how come just avoided them from far away. That’s why, they were very certain.

Standing behind the vines, peeking through the cracks, they had everything all taken in. The five-consecutive-shot crossbow was already propped up, just waiting for those people to come a little closer. In just one round, they can at least take down twenty.

However, in the end, they didn’t become muddled by victory that was close at hand. Approaching closer, they didn’t see anything at all. If not for the hunting hound furiously barking at a vine, perhaps they would’ve missed it. As such, they became careful and cautious, using the nearby tree or rock as a cover, hiding themselves. However, the people under Li Hong Yuan clearly didn’t lack patience the most.

As the other side peeked out one by one, they still remained composed. Keep waiting, wait until even more people approached.

The battle last night was quite disastrous, but Jing Wan ultimately didn’t see, mostly just hearing the sounds. Right now, perhaps it wasn’t as intense, but watching those people approach closer and closer, she still couldn’t help but hold her breath, her palms beginning to sweat. Even if not scared, she was still very nervous.

Li Hong Yuan was standing right by her side, his expression rather natural and relaxed. It can be seen, he was already confident of the outcome.

Li Hong Yuan kissed Jing Wan’s forehead, yet Jing Wan was like as if not feeling anything, fixedly staring outside without blinking.

Li Hong Yuan suddenly was a bit amused, yet also a bit displeased, pinching Jing Wan’s chin and slightly exerting strength, letting her turn over. Afterwards, he just unhesitantly kissed her.

Jing Wan also didn’t expect that in this kind of situation, this bastard was still able to play around, angrily pounding him. Messing around like this, the nervous atmosphere also disappeared.

Originally, the outside was unable to hear any sounds from the inside, but this time, they actually heard a bit of movement.

Getting startled, they first hid, but after waiting a while, they still didn’t see any movements. They inwardly thought to themselves, ‘the other side probably don’t have weapons such as bows and arrows’, and also thought of ‘what if there’s an escape route, perhaps they’ve already ran far away’. The duck that was close at hand, can’t let it fly away! No longer hesitating, they aggressively charged forward.

‘Shiuu—-‘, as the first arrow shot out, more and more flew out from behind.

The arrows for the crossbow were relatively short, but it was extremely deadly. Moreover, the distance was short to begin with, so occasionally when one arrow flew out, it would directly pierce two people. Accurately aiming, there wasn’t a single empty shot, even hitting more than one. As such, after one round, the harvest was even more than expected. And those people of Zhang wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves. The ones towards the back hurriedly retreated, just fearing that if a step too slow, one will just be out of luck.

Putting away the crossbows, they brought out the temporarily made bows. The aim wasn’t that good, because it was wooden arrows, the destructive power also weakening by a lot. However, they similarly calmly drew the bow, aimed, and let go.

The final outcome at worst was still seventy points.

The fifty to sixty people on the other side fell one by one, if not dead, then just injured. Such a disastrous outcome, yet they didn’t even caught a glimpse of the target’s shadow. Even though previously, it was just reported that this Jin Qinwang of Qi Yuan was extremely cunning, and very difficult to deal with, so must be careful and cautious, but when truly facing, it still made one fear.

The ones that could still stand were already less than ten. All the courage had dissolved into nothingness. What high post, generous salary, and numerous beauties, one still needed to live to enjoy. And the situation right now was even if having one’s life thrown in, wishing to having this contribution given to one’s family, one still needed to be able to kill the target first! But the problem was going up now was just offering up one’s life.

Run, for the sake of one’s life, quickly run!

And aside from Li Hong Yuan, Jing Wan, Gong mama, and Gong Jiu, the rest all came out from behind the vines, leaving behind two to finish off, while the rest swiftly ran out, chasing after those that escaped.

In the forest, the ones fleeing in front, because of having gotten scared witless, and also because of not being used to this kind of environment, staggered along, practically rolling and crawling. And the people chasing from behind were like as if running on flat ground, even picking the shortest path. As such, even if the people behind were less than the people in front, the ones in front still got executed one after another.

From start to finish, the time used was just extremely short.

Coming out from behind the vines, Jing Wan saw the piles of corpses on the ground, her heart beating a bit fast. However, it was a little better than expected.

“Quickly leave.” Li Hong Yuan pulled over Jing Wan.

They don’t know whether or not there will be more people chasing over, so it wasn’t good to stay here.

The place behind the vines although was still pretty good, but the great victory just now was also because of catching them off guard. It won’t be that easy later. If they stay for too long, then in the end, it’ll just be them getting trapped to death inside.
