Chapter 986 Escape Successfully
“Xia Bin went to the back mountain? Any way down the mountain from there?”
Lin Mengya accurately stabbed into the part of the man, so he would not have excessive blood loss to death. However, if he flailed around, Lin Mengya guaranteed to make his life h.e.l.l right away.
The man, who was barely breathing, nodded. But soon, he became terrified.
He struggled to crawl to Lin Mengya’s feet and shouted with all his strength.
“Quick! There are explosives in the back mountain! I don’t want to die! I don’t wish to be blasted to death!”
Lin Mengya was shocked. She knew the seriousness of the matter.
Once the explosives exploded, everyone in Fort Naratha would be buried there.
Lin Mengya knew that this man was here to hold her hostage. However, once the time limit was exceeded, Xia Bin would recklessly detonate the explosives.
“Wait for me here. I’ll ask someone to carry you out immediately. Don’t play tricks. Based on what you’ve just told me, I won’t let you die.”
Of course, the man did not trust Lin Mengya, but he had no other choice at the moment.
After thinking for a while, he said with gritted teeth.
“If you break your promise, you will never know who wants to buy your life! I am the advisor to Xia Bin, and everyone on the mountain knows less than I do!”
Lin Mengya glanced at the man coldly and curled up her lips into a sneer.
“I spared your life because you didn’t deserve to die. It doesn’t mean that you have a reason to threaten me. If I want to find out these things, I don’t have to rely on you.”
Without further ado, Lin Mengya ran out of the courtyard where she was detained.
Outside was in chaos, filled with the noises of shouting and killing.
Lin Mengya tried to find a familiar figure in the crowd, and she was sure that Baisu must be looking for her in this group of people, too.
Now that both sides were in the middle of a fight, Lin Mengya could not poison all of them.
“Master!”
Finally, in Lin Mengya’s anxious eyes, Baisu showed up.
Baisu, who had changed a bandit’s outfit, found Lin Mengya with her sharp eyes and immediately rushed over to protect her master.
“Quick! Inform everyone to retreat now. There are explosives on the back mountain. Xia Bin has been on his way there! One more thing. Find two people to go to the backyard and carry a man out of there. He is very important. Maybe we can find out from him who is secretly trying to harm us.”
Baisu was still worried about Lin Mengya, but in the excitement of the crowd, both sides had already gotten into a tangled fight.
It was difficult to retreat.
Under such a situation, Lin Mengya had no choice but to ask Baisu to take her to find the chiefs of the other four groups of bandits.
The battlefield in the front yard was a b.l.o.o.d.y mess.
Without Xia Bin’s command, Fort Naratha was already in a state of disunity, with numerous casualties.
However, in the center of the battlefield, a figure holding a pair of steel knives kept killing fiercely as if he had entered an unguarded place.
It was Sun Zhuang. He had gone so crazy in killing that he could no longer distinguish between good and evil or right and wrong.
Fortunately, Chang Hu, who was next to Sun Zhuang, remained as calm as usual, and at once, he saw Baisu, the woman who had a mysterious ident.i.ty and background.
Chang Hu also saw Lin Mengya, who had been firmly protected by Baisu. Lin Mengya looked a little embarra.s.sed, but she was very calm, completely different from an ordinary woman who was frightened to scream.
Chang Hu took a few steps forward to Lin Mengya and Baisu and said respectfully.
“Madam, since you’ve come out, please go outside and wait for a moment. This is a personal grudge between Xia Bin and us. Please…”
“Sir, Xia Bin has already escaped. There are explosives in the back mountain. If you do not retreat quickly, I am afraid that everyone will die here. Believe me, I will never harm you!”
Chang Hu did not know why, but probably because the woman in front of him looked serious with a little dignified between her eyebrows.
In an instant, he believed Lin Mengya, without any doubt.
“Okay, I’ll ask my men to retreat. You can leave now.”
Even so, Chang Hu insisted on letting Lin Mengya leave first.
He knew very well in his mind. If the four buddies of them wanted to get rid of everything in the past and become ordinary people from homeless mountain bandits, the woman in front of him was a G.o.dsend opportunity.
Lin Mengya was taken out by Baisu without saying a word, and before leaving, she specially told Chang Hu to save the advisor who was waiting in the courtyard.
Unknowing how powerful the explosives would be, and for safety, Baisu had to take Lin Mengya to ride a horse and ran into the distance.
As time pa.s.sed bit by bit, Lin Mengya became more and more nervous.
“Boom!” A loud sound, which was as if tearing heaven and earth apart, was heard. Lin Mengya’s keen sense of smell could smell the stench of the burning gunpowder in the air.
Looking at the Fort Naratha behind them with complex expressions, both Lin Mengya and Baisu felt sad.
According to the estimation of timing, Chang Hu and his men should have enough time to retreat to a safe place.
Even if they ran a little slower, they should only have suffered a little impact.
The sounds of explosions were heard in continuous succession from behind. It was a long time before it was quiet again.
Lin Mengya immediately asked Baisu to turn around and go back. They rode for a long time before they saw some familiar figures.
“Is everyone all right?”
Lin Mengya alighted from the horse and dashed towards the nearest person.
In the air, the smell of gunpowder was very pungent. Thick smoke billowed not far away. Fort Naratha, which was the protecting barrier for those people this morning, had now become a sea of fire.
Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment and then searched silently in the crowd.
However, when she saw the injured people, she immediately stopped to treat the wound and bandage it up.
There were too many injured people, and most of them were injured in the battle with the bandits of Fort Naratha.
Lin Mengya had no time to care about anything else. She had to treat everyone’s injuries with Baisu.
“Mengya, I’m so glad that you’re fine!”
When Lin Mengya was forcibly carried up in someone’s arms, Qinghu’s slightly trembling voice was heard from behind.
Lin Mengya gave up her intended resistance and heaved a sigh of relief.
She knew that Qinghu would never let her be in danger alone.
She touched Qinghu’s arm, indicating to him not to hold her so tightly.
“I’m fine. Is everyone alright?”
Qinghu finally calmed down after a long time.
However, he looked a little hesitant. He must have been freaking out by the explosion scene just now.
“Everyone is fine. Thanks to Chief Chang’s loud voice, saying that you had been rescued, telling us about explosives in the back mountain of Fort Naratha, and asking us to leave quickly. Our Sanjue Hall did not go there for a fight. Of course, we were the first to retreat. It’s just that after the explosion, some of the injured could not come out in time, so our men went to rescue them. But rest a.s.sured, they are all fine, just minor injuries at most.”
Lin Mengya felt relieved at Qinghu’s words.
It might be a good thing for the members of Sanjue Hall this time. At the very least, they could gradually get used to each other after this experience.
However, the top priority now was to find the four chiefs of the mountain bandits.
Everything that had happened today was all because of her, so Lin Mengya had to take responsibility for it.
Even though the explosions were over, the mountain body had been shaken.
Rocks kept sliding down the mountain slope. The deeper they went in, the more obvious the shaking became.
“Stop, Mengya. You’ll be in danger if you go inside. Go back now, and I’ll get them all back!”
Qinghu stood in front of Lin Mengya, looking anxious, for fear that Lin Mengya would encounter any danger.
Lin Mengya grabbed Qinghu’s wrist, lowered her head to think for a while, and then shouted inside.
“Chiefs, Xia Bin is still alive. If you have anything to settle with him, just push it back for now.”
It was Lin Mengya who had sent someone to instigate the four chiefs of the bandits to come to siege Fort Naratha.
However, according to the situation just now, Lin Mengya could tell that this was not the only reason.
“We are grateful for your kindness, Madam. The four of us will remember it forever.”
Finally, Chang Hu and the other three chiefs’ figures came into Lin Mengya’s sight. However, Sun Zhuang, who had gone crazy in killing for revenge, was so exhausted that he was carried on someone’s back.
Chang Hu and Lin Mengya nodded to each other from a distance. Then Lin Mengya was taken away by Qinghu and Baisu again. As soon as her tense nerves relaxed a little, Lin Mengya felt a sense of powerlessness and sharp pain in her belly.
“Master!”
“Mengya!”
In a daze, Lin Mengya saw the anxious faces of Qinghu and Baisu. However, she couldn’t even say a word to comfort them before she completely lost consciousness.
In an instant, her consciousness returned to the interface of the Shen Nung system once again.
Lin Mengya, who was slow-witted, was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of pleasure came from her consciousness.
When she was. .h.i.t by an external force or temporarily lost the control power of her body, the Shen Nung system could protect her consciousness in time so that she would not completely fall into numbness.
In other words, she was not at any risk of brain death.
It was just a matter of her physical condition, causing her to temporarily lose contact with the outside world.
Regardless of anything else, Lin Mengya immediately pulled up her various physical indicators to check.
And she studied them very carefully, especially in regard to the fetus in her belly.
Fortunately, she just had a slight pregnancy reaction because she had been running around these days.
The fetus was now developing safely in her body without any problem.
Speaking of this, Lin Mengya had a strong const.i.tution, and her child seemed to have inherited her in this respect.
Lin Mengya felt a little guilty. She knew that she was pregnant, but as a mother-to-be, she lacked the self-consciousness of a mother.
When Lin Mengya looked at the series of data, a burst of tender feelings welled up in her heart.
Although it was still a fetus, there was some special communication between them through the Shen Nung system.
Lin Mengya believed that her child would be smart and cute.
After 15 hours of rest, the Shen Nung system finally reminded Lin Mengya that her body had recovered its basic biological functions and that she could opt out of the life-protecting mechanism at this point.
As soon as Lin Mengya pressed the b.u.t.ton, she felt sore all over and faintly heard the quarrel between a man and a woman.
“Master is pregnant. What a big thing it is! Why didn’t you tell us?”
According to the voice, it should be Baisu.
However, it was rare to hear Baisu’s angry voice. When the cool beauty got angry, she brought up a sort of unexpected power.
