Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Soon, a group of cavalrymen ran over.
The bandits were so scared that they immediately ran up the mountain when they saw this.
However, Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying did not want to let them go. At the very least, they had to know who the person behind them was.
Otherwise, they would be unable to live a peaceful life if someone were after them daily.
Therefore, the two tried their best to attack their legs to stop these bandits from running away.
When the cavalry arrived, some bandits had already run into the mountains.
When the cavalry saw Zhou Ying and her husband, they were stunned momentarily. They immediately shot an arrow and killed the bandit running in front.
Soon, the bandits fell to the ground one by one.
The couple stopped attacking and looked at the 20 or so cavalrymen in surprise.
When an officer leading the cavalry was about to shoot the bandit leader, Gu Chengrui hurriedly shouted, “Officer, please show mercy!”
After shouting, he stepped forward and kicked the leader’s back, forcing him to crawl on his back.
Seeing this, the leading cavalryman also put away his bow and arrows. He dismounted and saluted, “Zhang Ping greets Lord Gu.”
“Zhang Ping, are you General Zhang? Aren’t you guys supposed to be in Dongyang? Why…” Gu Chengrui stepped forward and sized him up seriously. After confirming that he was an acquaintance, he heaved a sigh of relief and asked.
“We came to invite you and treat His Highness’ injuries. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“His Highness is injured? Is it very serious?”
“Yes, His Highness is seriously injured. King Rui is resting in an inn at the dock.” Zhang Ping glanced at the bandits on the ground and asked, “Who are these people?”
“I’m not sure. How about this? The two of us will go and take a look at His Highness first. Help me deal with these people. If they honestly confess the person behind the scenes, spare their lives.
“Otherwise… I’ll leave it to you to handle.”
“Alright, I’ll send half of my men to send you there. Leave the matters here to me.” Zhang Ping nodded in agreement. His Highness couldn’t wait any longer, so it was better to let them go ahead.
He pointed out a few people and instructed, “Escort Dr. Gu and his wife over and protect them with your lives.”
“Yes!”
“General Zhang, thank you.” Gu Chengrui cupped his fists and thanked Zhang Ping.
Afterward, he nodded at Zhou Ying, and they entered the carriage.
Just as Zhou Ying was about to retreat into the carriage, the man whose eyes were blown out by Zhou Ying suddenly stood up and slashed at Zhou Ying with his knife.
After Zhou Ying detected his abnormality through her divine sense, she directly shot at his other eye.
The man knew how scary the gun was and immediately turned his head to dodge.
At this moment, Gu Chengrui rushed over and stabbed his heart.
He exerted a great force, and the wound on his arm bled again.
When Zhou Ying saw this, she immediately got into the car and let Gu Chenglin out. At the same time, she took out her first-aid kit.
She quickly and carefully bandaged Gu Chengrui’s wound. Then, the two rushed to the dock under the escort of the cavalry.
At the same time, Zhou Ying quickly filled up the first aid kit with medicine and bandages needed for suturing and bandaging.
If King Rui’s injuries weren’t serious, Zhang Ping would not have rushed to the capital to look for them.
After arriving at the pier, Zhou Ying realized that the pier in the capital’s suburbs was really bustling.
There were long lines of boats waiting to dock, and there were also the sounds of boat trackers shouting in unison amidst the hawkers coming and going.
It was a lively dock.
However, Zhou Ying only took a glance before the carriage quickly pa.s.sed by. It was better to wait until the safety of King Rui was confirmed before she explored the place..
