Chapter 150: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Chapter 150: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
As Ling Han slashed with his sword, the bandit leader's screams of pain gradually weakened. In the end, only a painful and weak groan remained.
Even his lips had turned pale from excessive blood loss. However, even though he was barely breathing, he still held onto some reluctance and weakly threatened, "Don't think you can kill me and get away with it..."
Hearing this threat, Ling Han simply sneered, "Do you think you can always reign supreme in this forest? Your good days are over!"
After saying that, the scimitar in Ling Han's hand flashed with a cold light and slashed across the bandit leader's neck cleanly and neatly.
The bandit leader didn't even have time to utter a sound before blood gushed out from his neck, staining the mud red...
Ling Han stood up and gave the lifeless bandit leader a cold glance. He then addressed his gathered subordinates, "Drag him away, chop him into pieces, and scatter him in the woods."
"If you encounter any remaining bandits along the way, just kill them directly."
"Yes!" A group of men in black immediately dragged away the bandit leader's tied-up body.
Only after all this was over did Ling Han return to Wen Yang.
As soon as he arrived next to Wen Yang, he held up Wen Yang's face and stared at Wen Yang's neck carefully for a long time.
After all, he had just witnessed the bandit leader slash Wen Yang's neck with a machete...
But when Ling Han confirmed that Wen Yang's neck was truly fine and still as white and flawless as ever, he finally felt relieved...
After a while, Ling Han's subordinates completed their mission and returned to report.
Now that the bandit leader is dead, and many bandits have just been killed by the Iron Eagle Guards, the remaining bandits are no longer a threat. In the future, Jiang State only needs to send some more troops to clean up the area to ensure long-term peace in this area.
The most urgent task now is to return to Jiang State as soon as possible and take action as soon as possible with the group of ministers who had been secretly contacted before to overthrow the Queen Mother's dictatorship.
Thinking of this, Ling Han lowered his eyes and said to Wen Yang who was standing beside him, "Let's go back now. The forest here shouldn't be in danger like this anymore. We can also take this opportunity to go back and rest up the team for the marriage."
"Yeah." Wen Yang nodded and accepted Ling Han's suggestion.
So Wen Yang, escorted by Luo An and Ling Han, returned to the side of the marriage convoy.
Seeing Wen Yang coming back, the palace maids who stayed behind and the surviving officials from the Ministry of Rites all breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Qiu Ju. When she was protecting Wen Yang in the carriage, she was pushed away by the bandits and hit the door frame of the carriage and fainted. When she finally woke up, she found that Wen Yang was gone. She burst into tears in panic.
It was not until she heard from the remaining Iron Eagle Guards that Commander Luo had gone to rescue people that she stopped crying and began to pray silently in her heart that Wen Yang could be successfully rescued.
So when she saw Wen Yang being escorted back safely, Qiuju couldn't hold back her tears. She quickly rushed to Wen Yang's side and said with a sob, "Your Highness, you're okay! I'm so glad you're okay! I was so worried about you, wuwuwuwu..."
Looking at Qiuju who was crying in front of him, Wen Yang gently touched Qiuju's head and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm still alive and well. I'm not hurt at all." After saying that, Wen Yang rolled up his sleeves as if he wanted to prove something.
When Qiuju saw that Wen Yang's body was indeed clean and fair without even a trace of red marks, she finally burst into tears and smiled with relief.
Luo An returned to the team at this moment and counted the losses in the team. The Iron Eagle Guards had no casualties because of their overall high physical fitness.
However, facing the sudden rain of arrows, more than 30 palace maids were unfortunately shot, and several boxes of treasures in the carriage carrying the dowry were intercepted...
Although the dowries were recovered later, there was no loss in that regard, but the lives of the palace maids who were shot by arrows can never be brought back...
Thinking of this, Luo An clasped his hands together and expressed his condolences to the palace people who had unfortunately died.
He then ordered the Iron Eagle Guards who still had strength to dig a pit and buried the dead palace maids in the pit to rest in peace.
By the time all this was done, the remaining palace servants had almost organized their troops and counted the items needed for the marriage.
Luo An glanced at the sky, then turned to Wen Yang and said, "Your Highness, what are your plans for the future?"
Wen Yang looked at the reorganized convoy in front of her, and felt very sad for the palace servants who had unfortunately lost their lives, but she knew that staying here was not a good idea.
She glanced at the sky and said softly, "Uncle Luo, although it's getting late, I think we should get out of this forest as soon as possible. If the remaining bandits are still determined to commit crimes, our team will suffer a significant blow."
Luo An nodded in agreement: "Your Highness is absolutely right."
Afterwards, Luo An gave the order, and the entire convoy began to move slowly and orderly along the winding mountain road.
As the convoy moved slowly, the sun gradually set on the other side of the mountain and the sky gradually darkened.
Ling Han and his subordinates did not join the convoy, but remained hidden in the dark, silently protecting the safety of Wen Yang and his group.
The team stayed up all night, keeping vigilant against attacks from the remaining bandits while advancing in twists and turns.
Perhaps the death of the bandit leader was so horrific that their team didn't even see the shadow of a bandit all night.
As the sunlight penetrated the treetops, the sky gradually brightened.
The long team finally passed through the dangerous woods and came to a smooth road.
Wen Yang lifted the curtain of the car and saw the tired looks on everyone's faces, so he asked the team to stop and rest here for a while.
Upon hearing this, the palace servants immediately stopped and began to build a temporary camp.
Although everyone was very tired after traveling all night, after safely leaving the woods, everyone had a smile on their face, feeling relieved after surviving the disaster.
After a brief rest and some food, Luo An walked over to Ling Han and had a low conversation with him.
After the incident with the bandit leader, Luo An already had an understanding of the strength of Ling Han's men.
So he said to Ling Han, "We'll be arriving at Jiang Country in about two days. If you want to arrange for someone to join the marriage team, do it as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Ling Han raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he didn't expect Luo An to come to him and bring up this matter.
"Are you willing to trust me?" he asked Luo An.
Luo An nodded frankly, "My mission is to protect the princess's safety, and you want to gather intelligence about the Jiang Kingdom's harem. In this case, joining forces is the best option. One more ally is always better than one more enemy..."
After hearing what Luo An said, Ling Han smiled, "Commander Luo is wrong."
