Chapter 173 - 173 Abducted!
173 Abducted!
Lin Suisui’s slap wasn’t light. A finger mark immediately appeared on Pei Qian’s face.
“You crazy woman, you actually dare to hit me?!” Pei Qian roared. However, compared to Lin Suisui’s slap, his action wasn’t nearly as intimidating.
However, Pei Qian’s expression was quite on point. Lin Suisui screamed, got up, covered her head, and ran to the side. “Help, he, he wants to kill me!”
The northern barbarian soldiers guarding the side had never seen such a scene. Amidst their shock, Lin Suisui had already run to the bonfire in the middle and hid behind the northern barbarian soldiers.
Pei Qian looked extremely fierce. Although the northern barbarian soldiers still didn’t know how the higher-ups would deal with the two captives in front of them, because of King Gu Han’s attitude, they didn’t mistreat them.
Therefore, a few soldiers subconsciously stepped forward to block Pei Qian’s path. Although they also felt that the scene in front of them was a little funny, in order to prevent Lin Suisui from really being injured by Pei Qian, they still surrounded her to help resolve the situation, so when King Gu Han returned later, they would be able to explain themselves.
“You’re a man. How can you beat up a woman like this?!”
“That’s right. No matter how savage we northern barbarians are, there’s no excuse for a man to hit a woman!”
A few soldiers stopped Pei Qian. No one noticed that Lin Suisui raised her hand and threw the pills into the bonfire in front of her.
Seeing that Lin Suisui had succeeded, Pei Qian stopped at the right time. He cursed and retreated to his previous corner.
“Why did you provoke him?! Hurry up and stay there. Don’t cause trouble again!”
Seeing that Pei Qian had returned, the soldiers turned around and instructed Lin Suisui, who was still hiding behind them, to follow him back.
“We don’t know how many people the other party has for the time being! However, the buddies we sent out suffered heavy casualties in all directions!
If this continues, I’m afraid we won’t have anyone to defend this place before the other party attacks.”
The trusted aide in charge of arranging for people to investigate quickly came over and reported anxiously.
It wasn’t that they were boosting the other party’s morale, but that their opponent was too cunning.
The other party’s archery was very precise and ruthless! All the soldiers who went out to investigate the enemy had been shot in the throat and died. Until now, they still didn’t know how many people had ambushed them, or…
This was a trap that had been planned long ago. They were just waiting for them to fall into it!
If there were only a few opponents, they only needed to avoid those people and temporarily hide in the Mountain God Temple to wait for dawn. This way, once they lost the cover of the night and the advantage of being in the dark, with the northern barbarian warriors who were still guarding King Gu Han, they would definitely be able to fight back.
However, if this was a trap that had been planned long ago, they had to think of a way to break out immediately! Otherwise, if they waited until tomorrow morning, they really wouldn’t have a chance to escape.
“Pei Qian!”
King Gu Han turned around and rushed back to the Mountain God Temple angrily. He glared at Pei Qian, who was leaning against the wall and resting with his eyes closed, and questioned, “You dared to set me up?!”
“You sound ridiculous.
I didn’t say a word from the beginning to the end. Even if someone had set you up, it would be this woman who you wanted to bring back to be your consort!
But then again, when I sensed that something was wrong, I sent more than one distress letter to the outside world. At that time, a few people who had received my letter said that they would quickly send troops over to help.
Perhaps you were unlucky and bumped into these reinforcements!
At this point, do you still plan to continue fighting to the death here?”
Pei Qian raised his head with ridicule in his eyes. It wasn’t that he looked down on King Gu Han, but he knew very well that King Gu Han was still too hot-headed and simple-minded.
He only knew how to charge forward bravely. When he really encountered a situation where he needed to use his brain, he was like an ignorant child who had just learned how to walk. It was very easy to set him up.
For example, this time, if it were him, no matter how glib Lin Suisui was, he would have killed her the moment he realized that her words and actions were fishy. Why would he keep them here?!
If it were Lu Ze, he would have realized that she was stalling for time as soon as she spoke. King Gu Han wasn’t vigilant at all and even wanted to marry her…
How careless!
“King, let me give you a piece of advice. Leave a way out so that we can meet again in the future! Since you didn’t kill us just now, there’s no need for you to kill us now!”
Without waiting for King Gu Han to respond, Pei Qian continued calmly, “I advise you to leave quickly with your remaining soldiers. This way, you can at least stay alive. You might be able to make a comeback in the future. However, if you continue to delay things here, it’ll be too late to leave later!”
King Gu Han glared at Pei Qian for a long time without saying anything. Instead, he turned around and took a few steps forward. Then, he reached out to pull Lin Suisui, who was hiding at the side. “Even if I leave, I have to take one of you with me!”
King Gu Han was extremely fast. After he reached out and grabbed Lin Suisui, the soldiers under him seemed to expect that Pei Qian would come over to stop them. Without King Gu Han’s instructions, they had already surrounded Pei Qian. Even though Pei Qian was charging left and right, he couldn’t withstand the siege of the northern barbarian soldiers. In the end, he fell to the ground and watched as King Gu Han and the others quickly rode away with Lin Suisui.
Lin Suisui held her small bag tightly. She was wrapped in Lu Ze’s thick cotton cloak, but the ride was so bumpy that she felt that her bones were about to fall apart.
However, at this moment, she knew that the enemy was stronger than her. If she struggled and resisted recklessly, she would only be injured in the end! Therefore, even though her organs were about to displace from the impact, she still gritted her teeth and didn’t say a word. She tried her best to protect her head and other vulnerable parts of her body so that she wouldn’t get hurt as the horse sped through the forest.
Now, she was alone! Therefore, she had to protect herself first before finding an opportunity to escape!
