Chapter 694 Assassination in the Mountains
Wang Wenzhou sat dejectedly in the sedan chair, his face contorted with grief, and said, "Sister! I don't want to live anymore!"
“Sigh…” Gao Guiying sighed, rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou, and advised, “Boxin, stop fooling around. We’ve already entered Sichuan territory and will be there soon.”
Wang Wenzhou pouted and said aggrievedly, "If I had known this road was so difficult to travel, I would never have come to Sichuan to find Zhang Xianzhong, even if you beat me to death."
A month ago, Wang Wenzhou set off from Hanshan, heading to Sichuan. Fearing his identity would be exposed, he disguised himself as a merchant caravan and secretly traveled to Sichuan.
Along the winding mountain path, a procession of over five hundred people stretched for miles. The roads of Shu are as difficult as ascending to heaven! Because the road was so difficult to traverse, even horse-drawn carriages were unsuitable; only sedan chairs carried by two men could be used. Therefore, Wang Wenzhou couldn't hold his baby and play with him, which was quite a hardship for him.
Sheng Lan, riding her horse, would occasionally steal glances at Wang Wenzhou. She didn't know how to ride a horse, but to portray Jian Fengyu, she had no choice but to do so. She suffered quite a bit along the way. For someone who couldn't ride a horse, it was an extremely difficult task.
Sheng Lan forced herself to ride a horse the whole way, and her thighs were chafed raw. But Sheng Lan had no regrets, because she liked her nemesis and wanted to stay by his side.
In the woods by the roadside, Wang Qiang glared fiercely at Wang Wenzhou. He hated Wang Wenzhou for his lack of compassion in killing his grandfather, Wang Zhixin.
Zhu Youjian sent Wang Qiang to accompany Wang Wenzhou to monitor him. Wang Wenzhou could not die now; if he did, Hanshan would surely rebel. Zhu Youjian did not yet have the ability to quell the rebellion in Hanshan.
But Wang Qiang simply couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing the murderer who killed his loved ones gloating every day, anyone would find it hard to stand it for long.
"Go!" Wang Qiang waved his hand, and in an instant, more than a hundred masked assassins rushed out.
"Protect the master!" Sheng Lan hurriedly spurred his horse toward Wang Wenzhou, calling out to the guards as he ran to protect Wang Wenzhou.
Because the mountain road was narrow, Wang Wenzhou's disguised caravan, although numbering over 500, was too long to be rescued in time. At this moment, Wang Wenzhou had very few guards around him.
Seeing that things were going badly, Wang Wenzhou jumped off the sedan chair and grabbed Wang Lin and Gao Guiying, anxiously saying, "Babies, babies, run!"
"Sigh..." Gao Guiying sighed. This rascal is really a coward who's afraid of death.
Wang Qiang came to kill Wang Wenzhou, but when he saw Wang Wenzhou turn and run, he shouted, "Chase him! Don't let the mad dog Wang Wenzhou get away!"
When Gao Guiying looked back, she saw that there were only a dozen or so guards desperately trying to stop the assassins. It was a drop in the ocean; they were no match for the assassins at all. The number of guards was dwindling, and they were about to all die.
"Boxin, run! I'll stop them!" Gao Guiying said, pushing Wang Wenzhou aside, drawing her sword, and rushing forward.
"Sister! Why don't you listen to me! Run!" Wang Wenzhou was heartbroken. His baby couldn't die again. He only had two babies left. Mu Yiyun stayed in Hanshan to take charge of the overall situation. If another baby died, there would be no baby to sleep with.
At this moment, Sheng Lan arrived on horseback with more than a dozen guards. She dismounted and quickly said, "My lord, please mount your horse!"
Wang Wenzhou pointed at Gao Guiying and said, "Jian Fengyu, quickly bring people to rescue my sister!"
Sheng Lan rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou. "You rascal, is she your sister? Are there any brothers who sleep with their sisters every day?"
Sheng Lan waved her hand and ordered, "Immediately move forward and intercept the assassin!"
"Yes!" The guards rushed forward. These were all Sheng Lan's confidants and knew Sheng Lan's true identity.
"Sister! Listen to me, run away with me!" Wang Wenzhou shouted anxiously to Gao Guiying.
"Sigh..." Sheng Lan sighed. Her own husband was just so pitiful for his little bitch. What time was it? Why wasn't she running for her life?
"Get on the horse!" Sheng Lan shoved Wang Wenzhou hard and said coldly, "The assassins are here to kill you! As long as you escape, Madam will be safe!"
"Yes!" Wang Wenzhou nodded, thinking it made sense, and quickly pulled Wang Lin, saying anxiously, "Baby, baby, get on the horse quickly!"
Sheng Lan shook her head with a wry smile, unsure whether to love her nemesis or curse him. What kind of situation is this? Instead of escaping first, you're helping that little bitch onto her horse! Nemesis, this is the only horse we have now!
Wang Lin mounted his horse, and Wang Wenzhou quickly said, "Jian Fengyu, quickly help me onto the horse!"
Helpless, Sheng Lan quickly helped Wang Wenzhou onto his horse.
Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "Jian Fengyu, you come up quickly too. You know I can't ride a horse!"
"Okay!" Sheng Lan nodded, quickly mounted his horse, and lashed the horse's rump with his whip, sending the mount galloping away.
"Chase! Don't let the mad dog escape!" Wang Qiang immediately led his men to give chase.
It was already difficult for a horse to carry three people, and on top of that, it was a mountain road. Although Sheng Lan kept whipping the horse's belly, the horse ran slower and slower.
Sheng Lan turned around and saw three men in black about to catch up. Without thinking, she lashed her horse's belly with her whip.
The horse was really tired from running, and because the road was uneven, it accidentally lost its footing and fell straight off the cliff by the roadside.
Wang Qiang chased Wang Wenzhou to the edge of the cliff. Looking down, he saw that the cliff was at least three or four hundred meters deep, and Wang Wenzhou would most likely not survive if he fell.
A horse and three people were tumbling down the cliff face. Fortunately, the horse, out of instinct, paused briefly at the edge. Due to inertia, the three people on horseback were thrown off. Otherwise, Wang Wenzhou and the other two would certainly have been crushed to death by the horse.
"Ah!" Wang Wenzhou yelled, wincing in pain and sweating profusely.
Sheng Lan shook her head with a wry smile. Her nemesis was truly embarrassing! Sheng Lan herself had also broken her leg. Because she had helped out at the medical camp in Hanshan, she had learned a little medicine. She endured the pain, picked up a tree branch next to her to make a splint, and immobilized her injured leg.
Wang Wenyi tilted his head and saw Wang Lin lying on the side, seemingly lifeless. He immediately endured the pain and crawled over.
"Baby, baby! Don't die!" Wang Wenzhou was heartbroken. Why was he so unlucky? Why did the babies around him always die young?
Wang Lin slowly opened her eyes and said softly, "Husband, I'm still alive!"
"That's wonderful!" Wang Wenzhou cried tears of joy and hugged Wang Lin, kissing her.
Overcome with excitement, Wang Wenzhou accidentally touched his wound, causing him to cry out in pain, "Ouch!"
"Husband, are you injured?" Wang Lin asked anxiously.
"Yes!" Wang Wenzhou nodded and said with a wry smile, "His ribs are probably broken!"
Sheng Lan limped over and said softly, "Sir, let me take a look at you!"
Wang Wenzhou looked up at the cliff and said coldly, "We can't stay here any longer! Let's find a place to hide! If our people up there win, they'll definitely send people down to search for us; if the assassins win, they'll definitely come down to kill us too!"
