Chapter 28 Night Attack
After Ning You got on the carriage north, Qu Chu still rode his horse and followed his carriage. Su Yingxue and Dongfang Ying got on another carriage.
After getting on the carriage, Dongfang Ying moved to the other side, trying to stay away from Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue sniffed: "I don't eat people, why are you so far away from me?"
Dongfang Ying didn't make a sound.
Su Yingxue smiled slightly:
"Little sister, isn't it good to be free in the world? Isn't it good to enter the door of the powerful and noble family? If you really marry the King of Chu as your concubine, you can deal with the scheming just now?"
Dongfang Ying didn't say anything.
Su Yingxue smiled.
"I know what you think. You think that no one can bully you with martial arts. But if you have to fight with others like this every day, do you think it's interesting?"
"But I see you having a great time fighting."
Su Yingxue laughed out loud.
"You are so naive. I play with her when I'm bored on the road. If I do this every day, I'd be crazy. Besides, can you have such a good thing as your sister? Can you win?"
"But General Qu doesn't care about these things, and she won't fight like this."
Su Yingxue looked at Dongfang Ying with a stubborn look and shook her head. Forget it, the little girl was falling into her passionate relationship, which she could not get rid of in a few words.
In fact, she doesn't care about these things at all. No matter how many beauties the King of Chu accepts, she won't care.
But I can't help but look at her, at least I can't be surrounded by people with ulterior motives in the future. In fact, it would be fine if it was a little girl like Dongfang Ying, but she was just a little willful and would not harm others for no reason.
...
The other side
Chen Qinhua was also scolding Chen Yinyu:
"Why are you so ruthless? How could you, an unmarried woman, give the purse to the King of Chu in front of so many people?"
Chen Yinyu was not afraid of Chen Qinhua: "I have sent my cousin purse before, but did he accept it?"
Chen Qinhua hated him for not fighting.
"Did you give it to the King of Chu in front of so many people? The King of Chu was not married before, but now he already has a princess, so don't have any delusions anymore."
...

After leaving Yudu City, the group set out towards Haiqing City. After passing Haiqing City, it was the territory of Toye tribe.
Haiqing City is connected to the tribes in the west, so the situation is relatively complicated. Although the Duchy Kingdom controls the two major cities of Yudu and Haiqing, its control over Haiqing City is far less than that of Yudu.
Qu Chu sent someone to send a letter to General Fan, asking him to send more soldiers to investigate the spies in Haiqing City to avoid the life of the King of Chu being threatened.
The convoy was on the road for a few days and would enter the territory of Haiqing City tomorrow.
That night, the convoy rested in the wilderness.
After He Dabao arranged the work on the night, he came to Qu Chu: "General, although I didn't notice anything unusual, I still feel a little uneasy."
Perhaps because he was an orphan since childhood and survived alone, He Dabao's vigilance is not only higher than that of ordinary people, but also has some premonition of dangers.
Since he felt uneasy at this moment, it is absolutely right to be careful.
"You sleep in the middle of the night, I sleep in the middle of the night, I call you."
He Dabao agreed.
Su Yingxue came to find Qu Chu, saw her instructing He Dabao like this, and asked, "What will happen again tonight?"
"I don't know, it's okay to be careful."
Su Yingxue said angrily:
"Which grandson of the turtle was chasing the King of Chu along the way? If I find out, I must strip him of skin."
Qu Chu didn't know either. But she was basically sure that the killer who was chasing them all the way was the "Dark Night Alliance".
"Let Yanhong watch with you tonight!"
Qu Chu looked at Su Yingxue inexplicably.
Su Yingxue rolled her eyes.
"You think there are so many people in Mando Villa, why did I bring Green Plum and Yanhong alone? That's because one of them has a special sense of smell, and the other has ear power that is different from ordinary people."
Qu Chu has seen the sense of green plums, so a person who is different from ordinary people's ears is said to be bright red.
Qu Chu did not push it away.
After a while, the bright red came over.
Yanhong is older than Green Plum. She looks like she is in her twenties, but she looks different from Green Plum. She has a melon-shaped face, pointed chin, charming eyes, and looks like she doesn't look like a serious woman.
After listening to Su Yingxue's instructions, Yanhong responded "Yes".
...
Late at night, in order to avoid being asleep, Qu Chu took the initiative to chat with her.
"When did you arrive at Mando Villa?"
Along the way, Yanhong admired Qu Chu very much. Only then did she understand why the owner of the manor helped Qu Chu desperately.
"I entered Mando Villa when I was 16 years old. My father died since I was a child and depended on my mother for life..."
Yanhong and her mother have lived through embroidery with her mother since she was a child. When she was 16 years old, she sent the embroidery items to the embroidery shop, but she unexpectedly met a gangster on the way.
The bully wanted to take Yanhong as his concubine, but Yanhong's mother disagreed. The bully killed Yanhong's mother in anger and wanted to force Yanhong to rob Yanhong.
At this time, I met Su Yingxue who was going out to practice.
At that time, Su Yingxue was not the owner of Mantuo Villa. After she learned the whole story, she killed the bully and brought Yanhong back to Mantuo Villa.
Things are not complicated, and Yanhong doesn't have much trouble when talking about it now, as if she is talking about other people's affairs. But Qu Chu still heard helplessness and grief from Yanhong's words.
The unfortunate people are still the most!
Just when Qu Chuwei was feeling something, Yanhong suddenly said, "General, there is movement!"
Qu Chu immediately lay his body on the ground and pressed his ears to the ground, but he didn't hear any movement. But Qu Chu believed Su Yingxue's words and believed that Yanhong's hearing was different from that of ordinary people. She lay on the ground motionless.
After a while, Qu Chu could hear the vague sound of horse hooves, but it was not the kind of sound that horses actually ran, as if they were covered with thick cloth on their hooves. And these horses came to the place where the team was stationed.
Qu Chu's hearing was originally sensitive, better than ordinary generals. At this time, she could definitely be attacked by someone at night. But she couldn't hear how many people were attacking him at the moment.
"Let's hurry, let everyone know."
In just a short while, everyone was woken up.
Qu Chu turned over and said to Ning Youbei: "Sit behind me and hug me tightly."
Although I know that Ning Youbei can ride a horse, it is safer to be with me at this time.
Ning Youbei turned over Qu Chu's horse without saying a word and hugged Qu Chu's waist.
After experiencing many assassinations along the way, Ning Youbei has absolute trust in Qu Chu.
Qu Chu moved the crossbow to his chest, pulled out three arrows and put them on the bow.
Wait for...
Qu Chula's hand did not move.
With a "swish", three arrows were fired together, and the three of them were caught.
Chapter completed!
