Chapter 432: Killing Chu Tianbao Is More Important
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If Emperor Ling Hui could not be sure before, now it was definitely Chu Tianbao who had kidnapped Noble Consort Ling.
Otherwise, Gou Houxing would not have run away silently.
Apart from that brat, no one could make Gou Houxing move.
This way, they could confirm the direction they had fled in.
Emperor Ling Hui ordered again that they must strictly investigate all the customs entrances in the southern frontier. They must not miss out the water and mountain path.
Commander Zhang was even more puzzled. If this kidnapper was the Young General, what was he trying to do by sending Noble Consort Ling to the southern frontier?
Even if he wanted to use Noble Consort Ling to threaten Emperor Ling Hui, this was too far away.
Was he not afraid that Emperor Ling Hui will forget about Noble Consort Ling after finding an even more beautiful woman?
Commander Zhang could not figure it out, so he could not be bothered to dwell on it. In any case, he would naturally know after capturing the person.
The checks at all the customs entrances in the Southern Frontier had become abnormally strict, but they had never found Chu Tianbao’s whereabouts.
At the thought of Gu Chilie hugging his wife and son, Emperor Ling Hui almost couldn’t help but want to look for them himself.
Chu Mingxuan was also very anxious. He went to look for Quan Jiuzhou a few times, but there was no result.
On a small mountain in the Jing state, Noble Consort Ling, who had been traveling at high speed, fell ill.
Even after taking the medicine, she had to recuperate for a few days.
Noble Consort Ling knew that Chu Tianbao was in a hurry to return to the southern frontier and was determined not to find a place to rest.
However, her body was tortured by Quan Qiaorong and could not take any more blows.
Chu Tianbao found a small mountain courtyard and asked Noble Consort Ling to recuperate.
Seeing that he would take out a piece of wood to carve when he had nothing to do, Gou Houxing leaned closer and saw that it actually looked like a woman.
Her facial features were still unclear, but one could tell that she was a beauty.
Gou Houxing was instantly as excited as a husky. “Is this Sister-in-law?”
He thought that Chu Tianbao would not answer, but Chu Tianbao actually said, “Yes, my wife.” His tone was filled with pride.
Gou Houxing suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief and shock that Chu Tianbao would actually get married.
He stammered, “Brother, you’re married?”
Chu Tianbao suddenly smiled. “Yes.”
The young general did not get close to women. He was known as the cold-faced Lord of Death. Now, he was smiling so intoxicated and infatuated!
Gou Houxing really wondered if his young general had been changed.
However, he also admired his sister-in-law, whom he had yet to meet, for being able to tame the Lone Wolf.
“Sister-in-law must be very beautiful, gentle, and virtuous!”
Chu Tianbao smiled again, his eyes filled with gentle affection. “Yes.” It was as if there was no woman more beautiful, gentle, and virtuous than Bai Wutong in this world.
After watching his display of affections, Gou Houxing wanted to sneak up the mountain to get a pheasant, but he heard Chu Tianbao say in an extremely boastful tone, “When you go back, you’ll be an uncle.”
Gou Houxing’s eyes widened. That was fast!
In the blink of an eye, he was excited for Chu Tianbao. “That’s great. I’m going to be an uncle. No, I have to prepare some greeting gifts for Sister-in-law and nephew!”
Chu Tianbao continued to carve the wooden block in his hand. “You don’t have to give anything too expensive.”
Gou Houxing was happy for him from the bottom of his heart and said enviously, “Later, Big Brother, please get Sister-in-law to introduce me to a woman too!”
Chu Tianbao glanced at him and actually agreed. “Okay.”
Gou Houxing shouted excitedly, “Sister-in-law is so kind! What does Sister-in-law like? Oh my, does Big Brother have money? Lend me some.”
He was not like Chu Tianbao, who could do anything and could even make mini figurines.
It was better to buy something on the way so that he wouldn’t make a fool of himself the first time they met.
Chu Tianbao reached into his pocket and handed him a piece of silver.
Gou Houxing took a look. “Only one tael of silver? Brother, are you a miser?”
Chu Tianbao looked up. “Are you a Gold Devouring Beast?”
Gou Houxing was speechless. You win.
One tael was enough. One tael could buy dozens of rattle drums.
Noble Consort Ling had recuperated for three days. When she recovered, she continued on the way.
Commander Zhang chased desperately and finally brought his men to the Three Gorges Pass. This was the only path that led to the southern frontier. Noble Consort Ling’s body was weak, so Chu Tianbao would definitely not bring her to dangerous places.
Commander Zhang led a big wolf dog and led his men to completely block the Three Gorges Pass. Chu Tianbao gave the dark guards and Gou Houxing a look, and they knew that they were preparing to break through forcefully.
Before Noble Consort Ling could reach Commander Zhang, the big wolf dog began to bark wildly.
Commander Zhang suddenly looked nervous and ordered everyone, “No one is allowed to move!”
He led the big wolf dog towards Noble Consort Ling’s location. Suddenly, a group of mysterious black-clothed people appeared at the Three Gorges Pass. They had no scruples and kept throwing explosives at the crowd, shooting arrows.
Chu Tianbao reacted quickly and protected Noble Consort Ling behind him. The dark guards also pulled out their weapons and blocked the arrows from all directions.
Before Commander Zhang could be happy to find Noble Consort Ling and the Young General, he was shocked. Who wanted to kill the Noble Consort Ling?
If Noble Consort Ling died in front of him, the consequences would definitely be worse than if he didn’t bring her back.
Commander Zhang made a prompt decision. “Stop them quickly!”
There were many people in black and their strength was outstanding. They even kept throwing explosives, completely ignoring the fact that there were still innocent people there. They seemed to be bent on capturing Noble Consort Ling, Chu Tianbao, and the others in one fell swoop.
Commander Zhang dodged the explosives and shouted, “Protect Noble Consort Ling!!!”
The palace guards formed a shield to protect Chu Tianbao and the others. Without Emperor Ling Hui’s instructions, they would definitely not do this.
A trace of heartache flashed across Noble Consort Ling’s sad eyes. Even so, she did not want to return to the golden silk cage in the palace.
The black-clothed people had the upper hand, and many of the imperial guards were injured or dead. Commander Zhang said, “Young General, take Noble Consort Ling and leave quickly. Well cover you!”
Chu Tianbao did not stand on ceremony and led Noble Consort Ling out of the encirclement.
The black-clothed men quickly gave up on dealing with Commander Zhang and chased after Chu Tianbao and Noble Consort Ling.
Commander Zhang hurriedly led his men to catch up. “Quick, stop them!”
Chu Tianbao was stopped and the two sides fought.
A powerful black-clothed man suddenly attacked Noble Consort Ling at the speed of a meteor.
Chu Tianbao’s palm collided with him. Not only could this person take his palm, but he could also counterattack.
Chu Tianbao’s eyes suddenly turned cold as he pushed Noble Consort Ling to Gou Houxing. “Leave first!”
Gou Houxing nodded solemnly. The dark guards and the imperial guards fought their way out. The powerful black-clothed man stopped them again. Chu Tianbao pulled out his sword and fought with all his might.
The two of them fought like quicksand. Sword light danced and collided with each other, producing surging sparks.
Compared to killing Noble Consort Ling, killing Chu Tianbao was more important.
Apart from a small number of black-clothed people who went to chase after Noble Consort Ling, the others all aimed their attacks at Chu Tianbao.
Commander Zhang was severely injured, and the Imperial Army had suffered countless casualties. Chu Tianbao was still fighting the black-clothed man. From time to time, he had to divert his attention to deal with the sneak attacks of the others.
Suddenly, another group of masked men in black appeared. Commander Zhang’s heart skipped a beat, and he thought that it was over.
However, in the blink of an eye, two waves of men in black actually started fighting!
