The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength
Chapter 397 Rescue the Sister-in-law
"Get on the horse and go to a safe place first." After Xia Younan said this, he jumped onto the horse holding Kong Tiande's head.
The two girls didn't say anything more and mounted their horses.
They galloped for more than an hour, until they were sure that there were no pursuers. Then they stopped their horses in front of a dilapidated temple and went into the temple to rest.
Xia Younan shot three rabbits and roasted them over a fire. The three of them sat around the fire and started chatting.
"Girl, who are you? Why did you want to kill Kong Tiande? Why did you save us?" The girl in blue couldn't hold back her anger and asked Xia Younan repeatedly.
Xia Younan smiled and said casually: "It's just to punish evil and promote good. Saving you is just a matter of convenience."
After saying that, she didn't wait for her to ask any more questions, but turned to ask them, "Who are you two? How did Kong Tiande catch you and bring you to the mansion?"
The two girls looked at each other. The girl in blue thought for a moment, then told her about her life story and experiences.
The girl in blue is Chu Lengyu, and the girl in pink is Xiao Yunruo. They are aunt and sister-in-law.
Their home was in a city in the north. After the war broke out, their father and brother were drafted into the army, leaving only their aunt and sister-in-law, their old mother, and Chu Lengyu's three-year-old daughter.
Two months ago, the old mother died of illness due to excessive worry about her husband and son. The two women buried their mother in grief and took their daughter to find the man at home to report the death.
As a result, they encountered robbers on the road, and their little daughter fell off a cliff and died while escaping. The two were so grief-stricken that they did not even have a chance to collect their little daughter's body and hurriedly fled to Yuhua City.
Unexpectedly, one problem after another arises. The aunt and sister-in-law were in the city purchasing supplies for their journey when they met Kong Tiande passing by with his troops.
Seeing that the two girls were beautiful, Kong Tiande became very lustful and snatched them back in the street, intending to rape them.
Fortunately, Kong Tiande was busy with official business after bringing them back to the mansion and had no time to humiliate them. When he finished his official business, Xia Younan happened to come into the mansion. He only cared about getting new and tired of the old, so the two of them were spared from Kong Tiande's murderous hands.
Chu Lengyu was already in tears when she finished speaking. First she lost her mother-in-law and then her daughter. The successive blows made her heartbroken and she even thought about committing suicide.
Xiao Yunruo cried non-stop from beginning to end, sobbing non-stop, tears falling like beans, her delicate little face turned red from crying, and she kept shouting that she missed her father and her brother.
After listening to her story, Xia Younan felt sympathy for these two poor women from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time he hated this damn war and bandits.
She handed the two girls handkerchiefs to wipe their tears, and after they calmed down, she asked again: "Where are you two going next?"
Xiao Yunruo wiped away her tears and replied sadly, "We sold our property and spent a lot of money to find out that my father-in-law and husband were captured and taken to Pingzhou City in the south to serve.
"We have to go find them, otherwise we two weak women won't be able to survive."
"But there is chaos and war all around us now. It is too dangerous for you two weak women. If you encounter the next wave of bandits, what will happen to the next Kong Tiande?" Xia Younan was worried about the two aunts and sisters-in-law.
The two were silent. They didn't know martial arts, and if they encountered that kind of situation again, they would just have to wait for death.
Xia Younan frowned and thought for a moment, then decided to take them back to the military camp for temporary placement. The Pingzhou City in the south they mentioned, Lingjiang State would attack it sooner or later, and they would naturally be able to go there together when the time comes.
After she expressed her idea, the two girls discussed it in a low voice for a while and decided to follow her temporarily until the Lingjiangguo team arrived in Pingzhou City!
When they learned that she was a member of the Lingjiang army, they did not resist her because of the relationship between the two countries. Instead, they begged her to show mercy and spare her father and brother's lives if the army really reached Pingzhou City and saw them.
Xia Younan agreed without much hesitation. Those who were forced to serve as soldiers were just innocent civilians, so it would be okay to let them go.
After this decision was made, the two girls were extremely grateful to Xia Younan. They knelt on the ground to thank her and promised that they would repay her for saving their lives one day.
Xia Younan didn't take their words to heart, but she didn't know that the two girls she saved would bring her great opportunities in the future...
While they were chatting, three fat rabbits were roasted. The three of them shared the rabbit meat, and after they were full, they rode their horses back home.
Xia Younan did not go back to the military camp directly, but went to Yanggu City. She wanted to see if her plan was successful.
The three of them traveled for several days and before they got close to Yanggu City, they saw two familiar figures riding horses towards them.
"Xiao You! Master Sun!" Xia Younan waved and shouted at them excitedly.
The two people coming towards them were Sun Shijiao and Qu Xiaoyou. They were galloping on horseback, and Qu Xiaoyou was holding a round object wrapped in cloth in her hand.
The cloth was bright red and stained with blood, and it was obvious what was inside it.
The two men also saw Xia Younan, and they squeezed the horses' bellies hard, causing the horses under their crotch to run faster.
After they met, they all stopped their horses. Xia Younan looked at what Qu Xiaoyou was holding and asked happily, "Is it done?"
"Done!" Qu Xiaoyou raised the head in his hand.
"Princess, you are simply a prophet!" Sun Shijiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up in exclamation.
This happened just as Xia Younan had expected. After the grain officer Du Wenjie escaped, he rode a fast horse back to the capital of Zhujing Kingdom at full speed and reported the incident of "Liu Tonghai collaborating with the enemy and committing treason" to the emperor of Zhujing Kingdom in a vivid and exaggerated manner.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Zhujing State was furious and immediately sent a pigeon letter to Liu Tonghai's deputy general, asking him to take Liu Tonghai's head and send someone to send it back to the capital for reporting.
As for the position of the defending general of Yanggu City, he was replaced by the deputy general.
Under the lure of power, the deputy general took advantage of Liu Tonghai's drunkenness and killed him with a single knife. He then cut off his head and asked his men to send it back to the capital for report.
As soon as the subordinate left the city, he was stopped by Qu Xiaoyou and Sun Shijiao, who snatched Liu Tonghai's head.
Just like that, Xia Younan, without using any soldiers, used a brilliant "counter-espionage plan" to easily eliminate the general guarding a city!
"The princess is both wise and brave. She is truly a heroine. Men like us are not even as good as her." Sun Shijiao sincerely admired Xia Younan's strategy and courage, and praised her endlessly.
Xia Younan smiled and said a few humble words, and also shook the head in his hand to show off.
Qu Xiaoyou was shocked when she saw it, and said incredulously: "You did it too? You really broke into the city alone, took Kong Tiande's head, and escaped unscathed?"
Xia Younan raised his eyebrows and narrated to the two of them the whole process of how he took Kong Tiande's head, including how he saved the two girls.
After listening to this, the two of them gave Xia Younan a thumbs up, praising her intelligence and opportunity.
Xia Younan took Liu Tonghai's head from Qu Xiaoyou and asked them to go back first. She would come back later to prevent Tang Guojing from thinking that she had asked for help and making a fuss about it.
