Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?
Chapter 87 Enemy Attack
The lasso was stretched straight, the horse stumbled, and Qiu Cheng fell off the horse.
"Ah!" He uttered a cry of surprise and fell to the ground. Only then did he see the densely packed edges of arrows and halberds flashing with cold light in the pit. He supported himself on the ground with one hand, his whole body curled up over the edges, and could be stabbed and pierced by them at any time.
The piece of soil in his hand began to loosen, and Qiu Cheng broke out in cold sweat and shouted desperately.
He changed to his other hand and, unexpectingly, broke off a piece of soil. He sank down again, with the soles of his feet already stepping on the sharp blade.
At this moment, a streak of light flew over, and a big hand reached out, grabbed his back, lifted him up, and saved his life.
Lan Huaijun took action. He put Qiu Cheng on the ground, holding the weapon in his hand. "Be careful, those who drown are those who can swim!"
Xie Jinzhao stood there with his arms folded, watching the excitement for who knows how long.
"Or, let's fill up the pit, so that it won't harm others if it stays here." Xie Jinzhao said, and he cut a few thick branches and placed them over the pit. Even if someone accidentally stepped on empty air in the dark, they would not fall into the pit.
Lan Yu and Lan Xuan'er also helped. After about a meal's time, the pit was covered with a dense layer of branches. The branches were soft and there was no harm in stepping on them.
"Young Master Qingxiao is truly a kind-hearted man." Lan Huaijun exclaimed.
Qiu Cheng snorted coldly, "It's hindsight!"
If he had the ability to foresee the risks in advance, he would have almost lost his life here. Xie Jinzhao was doing this fussy thing, which was clearly to embarrass him and show off herself.
Lan Xuan'er stamped her feet in anger, "How can you say that? You almost fell down, and it has nothing to do with Brother Qingxiao. You are really... Humph, if you continue to be unreasonable like this, I will ignore you!"
Qiu Cheng was so angry that his forehead hurt. "If she hadn't said it was a will-o'-the-wisp, would I have come here? It seems to me that she clearly wants to kill me!"
Just now, when she saw him almost falling into the pit, Yun Qingxiao didn't even lend a hand. It was obvious that she just wanted to watch him die.
"Okay, stop arguing. This is not the place for quarreling. Let's look forward. It seems that things around here are not peaceful." Lan Huaijun is a man with a lot of combat experience. He is also a man with a lot of battlefield experience.
Several people abandoned the carriage and began to search nearby. At this time, they could not see each other and the other party could not see them.
Just find out the truth first.
The official road was built between two mountains, with buffer valleys and plains on both sides. Just now, Qiu Cheng fell into a trap at the foot of the mountain. They followed the trap up and found a small path, which was winding and no one knew where it led to.
The path was covered by bushes and branches, and the trees overhead blocked the dim skylight. People felt like they were walking in darkness. The forest was so quiet that one could only hear each other's breathing; not even the chirping of insects could be heard.
The three of them walked while using swords to cut the vines and branches that stretched out from the side, and walking was a bit difficult.
After they got out of the forest and came to a road around the mountain, there was a steep cliff on one side and an empty cliff on the other. Xie Jinzhao was standing on the road, waiting for them with his hands in his sleeves.
The three of them looked very disheveled, their gorgeous clothes were torn by the branches and their hair was messy. In contrast, Xie Jinzhao had nothing in her hands and her clothes were still meticulous. No one knew how she got through the path.
Seeing them come out, Xie Jinzhao continued to move forward.
Qiu Cheng gritted his teeth and chased after her. After walking for a while, he felt something was wrong. Xie Jinzhao seemed to be very familiar with this road. He was hit by the protruding rocks several times and his nose and face were bruised. However, Xie Jinzhao seemed to be able to sense the danger in advance and avoided it easily.
Moreover, she always walked a certain distance ahead of them, a distance she deliberately maintained. If they slowed down, she would also slow down. If they sped up, she would also speed up. This kind of calmness almost made Qiu Cheng collapse.
"Brother Qingxiao is so awesome. We were all scared to death, but Brother Qingxiao is not afraid at all. What's more, he doesn't seem to be hurt at all!" Lan Xuan'er held onto a protruding stone and looked at Xie Jinzhao not far away with admiration.
At this time, the moon came out from behind the clouds, illuminating the mountains. The stars were also very bright, and people's faces could be seen not far away.
Lan Huaijun had long seen that Xie Jinzhao was extraordinary, and said to Lan Yu with a smile, "You have always boasted of being extraordinary, how about competing with Master Qingxiao?"
Lan Yu looked at Xie Jinzhao. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on her body. Her jade-like face, which was difficult to tell whether she was male or female, was covered with a layer of soft light. The mountain breeze was so gentle when it blew past her, as if a god had descended to earth, making all things pale in comparison.
"How can I compare to her? She is so stunning!"
Lan Yu is also a child of destiny. He usually looks down on others and refuses to submit to anyone. But in front of Xie Jinzhao, he feels inferior. In his eyes, Xie Jinzhao is like a god.
"Someone is coming, it's dangerous!" Xie Jinzhao warned in a low voice.
Judging from the noise, there were two people coming.
Xie Jinzhao walked forward, leaning forward along the cliff wall. In the darkness, she was as agile as a cheetah ready to pounce. Even Lan Huaijun couldn't tell her depth.
Gradually, she heard voices.
"It's the dead of night. Even if there is someone in the trap, it might be a wild boar. The bosses are too cautious."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go and take a look, just in case it's a human."
"That's a mass grave over there. So many people died there. When have you ever seen anyone come here?"
The two men's eyes suddenly widened and they wanted to avoid it, but it was too late. Before they could even scream, they fell headfirst into the cliff next to them.
Xie Jinzhao killed the enemy with one move and picked up the lantern on the ground. She took out a fox mask from her arms and put it on her face. She walked forward for a while and the terrain was going down. She reminded, "There is a bandit camp ahead, be careful!"
The three of them had just suffered a lot on the road, especially Qiu Cheng, who almost died. At this time, they were very cautious and followed Xie Jinzhao closely.
Lan Huaijun saw a camp hidden in the woods not far away. It was shadowy and there was no light. He guessed that the other party might have discovered them. He drew his sword and said, "Be careful and don't act on your own. It's best for everyone to gather together."
Although these bandits’ martial arts were not very good and were certainly not as good as the Lan family, they had more people.
Ants kill elephants!
"Pfft!"
Qiu Cheng screamed again. He missed a step and fell off the cliff. When he fell on the rocks, his knee was accidentally pierced by a sharp rock protruding from the side.
He screamed in pain.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
The gong sounded, and the sentry standing guard at the entrance of the mountain stronghold heard the noise. He rang the gong to warn people and shouted, "Enemy attack!"
Xie Jinzhao pushed the ground with his hind feet, pounced forward with bare hands, strangled the man's neck, and with a burst of force, the man's neck twisted and he died.
Xie Jinzhao took the gong stick from his hand and struck it at another sentry who was running wildly.
