Chapter 109 Encountering Perils on the Business Journey, Jin Xin Cleverly Breaks the Situation
The rapid sound of horses' hooves approached from afar, tearing apart the tranquility of the night.
Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan lay in ambush on the hillside, looking down at the situation below.
A group of men in black appeared like ghosts and quickly surrounded Su Jinxin's transport team.
"You really can't wait," Su Jinxin sneered, her eyes flashing with cold light.
“The visitor is hostile.” Yan Cheng’an’s eyes narrowed, and he drew the sword from his waist.
The men in black were well-trained and ruthless, and soon engaged the transport team's guards in battle.
The flash of swords and shadows, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Although the guards of the transport team fought desperately, they were outnumbered and gradually lost ground.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A deafening roar came from afar, and the ground began to shake violently.
Immediately afterwards, boulders rolled down the hillside, completely blocking the transport road.
"Oh no! It's a landslide!" a guard shouted in alarm.
The already chaotic scene was made even worse.
The enemy took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, constantly seizing the supplies scattered all over the ground.
Some of the guards in the transport team began to panic, worried that they would be unable to complete the mission.
"It's over, it's all over!" a guard cried out in despair.
"Don't panic!" Su Jinxin shouted when she saw this. "Hold the line and protect the supplies!"
However, her voice was quickly drowned out by the shouts of battle and the sound of boulders rolling down.
The enemy's offensive grew increasingly fierce, and the transport convoy was on the verge of collapse.
Su Jinxin frowned as she looked at the chaotic scene before her.
This sudden landslide was clearly not an accident.
It seems the enemy came prepared, intending to completely destroy her transportation plan.
"Madam, what should we do now?" Yan Chengan came to Su Jinxin's side and asked in a deep voice.
Su Jinxin took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes: "It seems, the only option is..." She paused, then pulled a signal flare from her sleeve and raised it high...
Su Jinxin's eyes sharpened, and she decisively fired the signal flare.
A dazzling fireball shot into the sky and exploded in the night sky, forming a magnificent firework.
This was the pre-arranged code between her and General Wang—requesting reinforcements!
“Madam, this…” Yan Cheng’an said with a hint of worry.
General Wang is far away on the border, unable to reach him. Will this signal flare really be useful?
Su Jinxin smiled confidently, "It will be useful, of course it will be useful. However, we can't just sit here and wait." She looked around and her gaze fell on a narrow path not far away.
"Although this road is difficult to travel, it can bypass the landslide section. We will split into two groups. One group will stay behind, disguise themselves as the main force to attract enemy fire, while the main force will follow me along the side road!"
“Madam, this is too dangerous! Let me stay behind to cover the retreat!” A guard captain immediately volunteered.
Su Jinxin patted his shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, I have my own plans." In her previous life, she had traveled all over the country and was no pushover.
Although the path was rugged, she had walked it in her previous life and knew how to get through it quickly.
Therefore, Su Jinxin left some guards behind and instructed them to make as much noise as possible to attract the enemy's attention.
He then led the main force onto that little-known, winding path.
The enemy fell for the trap and pursued the remaining "main force" with all their might.
Su Jinxin led the main force, bypassing the dangerous section at an astonishing speed, and arrived at the other side of the landslide.
Seeing the road blocked by boulders, Su Jinxin did not panic.
She directed the group to begin clearing the roadblocks and repairing the road.
"Madam, can we really repair this road?" A guard looked at the mountain of boulders with some worry.
Su Jinxin smiled slightly: "Of course, but..." She looked up into the distance, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, "I hope he will be safe and sound."
"Madam, are you worried..." The captain of the guard followed her gaze, but only saw the vast darkness of the night.
"It's nothing." Su Jinxin withdrew her gaze and continued to direct everyone to repair the road.
However, her clenched fists betrayed her inner unease.
Su Jinxin wiped the sweat from her forehead; her hands were covered in dust, but she didn't bother to clean them.
The infrastructure of ancient times is truly beyond words!
Despite his inner complaints, his hands kept moving, giving orders with composure, just like a foreman.
While she was busy, she would occasionally look up into the distance, her heart pounding in her chest.
I wonder how the battle is going at the front. I hope Yan Cheng'an isn't really getting crushed by the enemy.
Although I know he's a wolf in sheep's clothing, there are no mercy on the battlefield, what if... ptooey!
Crow's mouth!
Su Jinxin quickly shook her head to shake off these unlucky thoughts.
She needs to get the road repaired as soon as possible and deliver the supplies to the front lines so that Yan Cheng'an can end this damned war sooner and return home safely.
Her longing for him transformed into boundless motivation.
The business partners who had originally planned to withdraw their investment were instantly reassured by Su Jinxin's decisive and calm demeanor.
Wow, this woman is a business genius! Her crisis management skills are absolutely top-notch!
If you follow her, you're guaranteed to make a living!
Not only did he abandon his idea of withdrawing his investment, he also offered, "Boss Su, I have some mule carts and horse carts here. Although it's not much, I hope it can be of some help." Su Jinxin was delighted to hear this, "Oh, Lao Li, you're really offering help in my time of need! That's so kind of you! I'll treat you to hot pot later!"
Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts in the emergency repairs, the road was finally able to be reopened to traffic.
Seeing the transport team set off again, Su Jinxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she knew in her heart that this was only the first step in a long journey.
Just then, a scout came running up, his face pale: "Report—a large number of enemy troops have been spotted ahead..." Su Jinxin's eyes narrowed: "How many?"
"A scout reports! A large number of enemy troops have been spotted ahead!" Su Jinxin's eyelids twitched. This was exactly what she feared. Was this some kind of joke?
"how many people?"
"Reporting to Boss Su, a rough estimate is no less than five thousand!" the scout replied, his legs trembling.
Five thousand!
Su Jinxin gasped.
Their hastily assembled transport team wouldn't even be enough to fill someone's teeth.
Yan Cheng'an, oh Yan Cheng'an, your wife is worried sick about you from the back. If you dare to mess things up at the front, you'll be kneeling on a washboard when you get back!
"Stay calm, don't panic!" Su Jinxin took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Panicking won't help; we need to think of a solution.
She quickly scanned her surroundings, her gaze settling on the mountain beside her.
“Old Li,” Su Jinxin grabbed the business partner who had just offered to help, “are you familiar with the terrain around here?”
Old Li was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded: "We're fairly familiar with each other. What are your instructions, Boss Su?"
“This road is blocked; we need to find another way.” Su Jinxin pointed to the mountain next to them. “Can we go around it from the mountain?”
Old Li looked troubled: "Boss Su, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, I'm afraid the carriage..."
"If horse-drawn carts won't work, we'll use mules; if mules won't work, we'll carry them on our backs! In short, the supplies must be delivered!" Su Jinxin's tone was firm and left no room for argument.
Upon hearing this, everyone's morale was immediately boosted.
Yes, if Boss Su isn't afraid, what are they afraid of!
It's just crossing mountains and valleys, isn't it?
It's done!
Thus began a thrilling "moving" operation.
The group unloaded their goods and carried them on mules or on their backs, making their way along the rugged mountain path with great difficulty.
Su Jinxin joined them, her slender body carrying a bag of grain, gritting her teeth, climbing upwards step by step.
Upon hearing that Su Jinxin had taken a detour, the enemy general sneered, "A petty trick! You think you can escape my grasp like that? Send the order to pursue her!"
However, when the enemy troops caught up to the foot of the mountain, they found that Su Jinxin's troops had already disappeared without a trace.
They pursued along the mountain road for a while, but found that the road was becoming increasingly difficult to travel, making it impossible to deploy their troops.
"Damn it!" The enemy general stamped his foot in anger. "That woman is truly cunning!"
Meanwhile, Su Jinxin led her team over mountains and valleys, finally arriving at a small path leading to the border.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally..."
Before he could finish speaking, a soldier rushed over in a panic: "Boss Su, something bad has happened! Ahead... ahead is..."
"What is it?" Su Jinxin's heart sank.
"It was...it was the corrupt official Li who led his soldiers to block the road!"
