The golden-masked sacrificial soldier that only existed in legends actually appeared in Nanzhao and was even encountered by Jiang Hai and the others. This luck was really unprecedented.
âI didnât expect the golden-masked sacrificial soldier to be so powerfulâ¦â Other than surprise, Yu Wan didnât know what to say.
She knew Jiang Haiâs strength best. Even Jun Changâan was not his match. He could almost do whatever he wanted in the Central Plains. Qing Yanâs martial arts were not the best, but his qinggong was first-rate, and he could not avoid the other partyâs attacks. As for Yue Gou, his internal energy was thirty percent thicker than Jiang Haiâs, but he had only withstood three moves.
The old man was calmer than Yu Wan. As for whether he was really calm at all, no one knew.
On the other side, Gu Master Yu cursed, ââ¦Sir! They have accomplices! There are a total of eight people! Iâm willing to lead the way for you and take them down together!â
Alright, there was no escape. Almost as soon as the Gu Master finished speaking, their carriage was lifted by a huge force⦠It was the golden-masked sacrificial soldier. The carriage was thrown onto the ground in front of the team.
Yu Wanâs head hit the door with a thud, cracking it. She rubbed her head and was about to help Grandma, who had also knocked himself quite heavily, when she saw a few spears reach in.
Yu Wan looked at the spear that was an inch away from her. She carefully raised her fingertip and gently pushed the spear away. âWeâre just the old and the weak. Isnât this lineup too big?â
The two of them were brought out of the carriage. Yu Wan had just disguised herself as Zi Su and did not have the time to change back into her menâs clothes.
When Gu Master Yu suddenly saw Yu Wan in female clothes, he didnât recognize her for a moment and was stunned. âYou⦠you⦠Ah, itâs you? Youâre a woman?! Why are you wearing⦠Zi Suâs clothes?â Even if Gu Master Yu racked his brains, he could not guess that Yu Wan had gone to pretend to be Zi Su.
Yu Wan could not be bothered with him. At this juncture, she naturally couldnât care less about her gender being exposed.
It was fine if she was a woman, but Gu Master Yu did not take it to heart. However, he thought of the remaining fellows and frowned. âNo! There are accomplices!â
âGrandma, how many people are called Grand General in Nanzhao?â
âOne.â
âThe one from the Helian family?â
âWhatâs all the noise?!â A guard stabbed his spear into the grass in front of the two of them.
âThatâs right, the one from the Helian family,â the old man said.
âI told you to stop talking!â The guard unceremoniously raised his spear and shouted at the old man.
The old man did not move in the face of danger and was calm.
Yu Wan grabbed the guardâs spear. âIf you dare to touch a single hair on his head, believe it or not, you wonât see the sun tomorrow morning!â
The guardâs scalp went numb from Yu Wanâs cold gaze and he subconsciously paused.
Gu Master Yu rushed over angrily. âWho do you think you are? How dare you speak to the Generalâs Dragon Shadow Guard like this! Iâm afraid youâre the one who canât see the sun tomorrow morning!â
As he spoke, he turned to face the carriage with the curtain closed and bowed. âGrand General, this group of peopleâs background is unknown. They did not have a travel pass, not only do they want to kill me, but Iâm afraid they also want to kill Lord Fei Luo! Grand General, please send someone to Lord Fei Luoâs tent to ensure that he isnât harmed by this group of people!â
If they went now, they would definitely see Fei Luoâs corpse. That would confirm their crime of murdering the Queen Manorâs Gu Master.
Yu Wan closed her eyes. From the looks of it, there was only one last way left. But she was not very good at such things. No choice, she was going all out.
Yu Wan took a deep breath and squeezed out two drops of nonexistent tears. She cried as if she was crying. âGrand General, donât kill me⦠Iâm your nieceââ
The curtain was tightly shut, and outsiders could not see the scene inside. Little did they know that when Helian Beiming heard this, his hand trembled and he almost threw the little snow fox that he had rubbed all the way out.
The little snow fox could not wait to flutter out the moment it heard the voice. Throw me away! Quickly throw me away!
Helian Beiming composed himself and fished back the flapping little snow fox. The little snow fox sat on his lap dejectedly and sighed like an old man.
âGrand General, Iâll go out and take a look.â It was the attendant who was in the same carriage as Helian Beiming.
Helian Beiming nodded. The attendant lifted the curtain and bowed down the carriage.
Yu Wan had been paying attention to the movements of the carriage. She was worried that she had howled at the wrong person, but the moment the curtain was lifted, she clearly saw the figure with a powerful aura. It was so recognizable that it was the general she had seen in the City Lord Manor of the West City.
