Chapter 2820: Chapter 3821: Fiery Thunder Trap
"Psycho!" Bai Ruozhu felt disgusted. How could a woman treat her own child like this? She gave birth to a child yet had no maternal instinct at all, only treating the child as a tool to revive You Meng and to gain more power.
"That child is also a life, protected wholeheartedly by the masters of Xinchan Temple, yet you disregard your own child’s life and death for personal desires. People like you pollute the air just by living." Bai Ruozhu was truly angry, as a mother, she couldn’t accept Zhu Ning’s behavior.
Zhu Ning laughed loudly, "What, are you jealous? Jealous that I’m prettier than you now, stronger than you?"
Heh, Bai Ruozhu really felt like she had had enough already. Is this kind of person worth being jealous of? They only make people nauseous.
Jiang Yichun controlled the water vapor to restrain Zhu Ning, but unexpectedly, Zhu Ning’s fingers moved slightly, and strange red threads appeared on her hands, cutting the water vapor Jiang Yichun controlled into several parts, rendering it useless to restrain!
Water is the hardest to cut, yet she did it!
Sure enough, Zhu Ning has become stronger, no wonder she is acting so recklessly.
Bai Ruozhu didn’t rush to get closer. With a thought, she wanted to take out some poison from the Space, but unexpectedly, she couldn’t take anything out!
"Discovered it, right? With me here, don’t even think about using any of your treasures." Zhu Ning said smugly.
Jiang Yichun saw Bai Ruozhu’s expression change and immediately understood what was going on.
At this moment, there was the sound of running outside, reinforcements had arrived.
"Retreat first." He wrapped an arm around Bai Ruozhu’s waist, a pillar of water suddenly shot towards Zhu Ning, and then he jumped out of the window with Bai Ruozhu.
The two of them escaped Weifeng Stockade in one breath, only then did Bai Ruozhu realize that the Space could be used, so she quickly pulled Jiang Yichun into the Space.
"She used some method, I couldn’t even access the items inside." Bai Ruozhu said.
"We can’t be impulsive, we need to think of another way." Jiang Yichun’s expression grew more serious; this Ma Xingguo would not be easy to kill.
"Let’s first rendezvous with Jianqi and the others." Bai Ruozhu felt a bit stifled, how did Zhu Ning become so powerful?
...
In Liuri City, Lin Zhenghui brought a group of experts from the Commerce Association and Jianghu warriors from around to discuss the matter of going out of the city to engage the enemy.
Unexpectedly, urgent footsteps came from outside, "Elder, an urgent message from the chairman!"
A letter was delivered in front of Lin Zhenghui, who quickly opened it, only to see a line written inside:
Do not gather privately, disperse immediately to avoid bringing calamity to the Commerce Association.
Someone peeked in and couldn’t help but change their expression, "How is that possible!"
Lin Zhenghui’s brows knitted tightly. He had sent a letter to the chairman before and received the chairman’s support and encouragement. How could the chairman suddenly change his mind?
Could it be...
He dared not to think too much, perhaps this letter was fake.
"Elder Lin, what should we do now?" someone asked worriedly. Now, the arrow is on the bowstring, they have no choice but to shoot, but to ask them to give up, who would be willing?
"Lin Zhenghui, are you planning to defy the chairman’s order?" Elder Liu stepped forward and asked.
Elder Liu was an elder from the Northern, and he came here particularly eagerly this time, but not to support Lin Zhenghui’s plan. Instead, he continually opposed the Commerce Association leading the resistance against the Turkic people.
Lin Zhenghui suspiciously looked towards Elder Liu, could it be him causing trouble?
"Lin Zhenghui, did you hear what I said, tell everyone to retreat, Liuri City can hold on defensively, the Imperial Court will soon send troops over, we mustn’t ruin the Imperial Court’s grand plan." Elder Liu shouted loudly.
Suddenly, Lin Zhenghui struck out with a palm, "Someone is impersonating the chairman’s order intending to shake the morale, kill without mercy!"
"Right, the chairman had sent a letter supporting this matter, how could he suddenly oppose it? This letter is fake!" Lin Zhenghui’s close aide shouted in cooperation.
This settled the soldiers’ morale, everyone believed the letter was fake, and those intending to sabotage their plan must be spies from the Turks.
"Utter nonsense, Lin Zhenghui you dare to attack? I’ll fight you!" Elder Liu charged up.
Lin Zhenghui drew his Sword, Elder Liu didn’t have time to react, and his head flew off, rolling onto the ground.
"Turkic spies cannot be left alive!" he said sternly.
"Right, spies should be killed!" someone echoed.
Lin Zhenghui secretly let out a sigh of relief, "The plan remains unchanged, tomorrow we go out of the city to attack the enemy, to seek justice for the deceased civilians in the North!
"Go out of the city and attack the enemy, to seek justice for the civilians!"
...
Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun rendezvoused with Jianqi and the others, but the situation was complicated, so Bai Ruozhu could only hold back.
At night, a sentry came to report that things were starting to move at Weifeng Stockade.
"Master, don’t know whether they are planning to encircle us or set off for Liuri City." Jianqi said.
"Keep an eye on them." Bai Ruozhu said.
Soon, Weifeng Stockade’s people, neatly lined up, began to head down the mountain; they were going to the Battlefield, what an orderly troop.
"Ma Xingguo is surely among them, we’ll follow and look for an opportunity to strike." Jiang Yichun said.
"What if they lead us away first, and Ma Xingguo sets off elsewhere?" Bai Ruozhu asked worriedly.
Jiang Yichun’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Then we’ll kill all those private soldiers; I’ll see how Ma Xingguo plans to fight for Military Merits without his soldiers."
Bai Ruozhu’s eyes lit up, "We’ll set traps beforehand and catch them all in one net."
He couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you going to use that?"
"You really are like a worm in my stomach." Bai Ruozhu laughed heartily.
No time to delay, the two quickly led a group of dark guards down the mountain, setting traps at a necessary crossing at the foot of the mountain, Bai Ruozhu also quietly placed a few fire mines.
This stuff was exchanged for in She Zongyi’s system, unique to this place.
Since she had snatched them, it would be a waste not to use them.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Weifeng Stockade’s troop came down the mountain.
Soon, the person walking in front stepped on the trap, wooden spikes flew up, sweeping towards them.
The soldiers formed a formation to resist but didn’t expect the explosions to continuously follow, they could block the wooden spikes but not the explosion of the fire mines.
Many people screamed miserably, and in the blink of an eye, there were countless casualties.
"Bai Ruozhu, come out if you have the guts!" Lian Jin was enraged, his eyes red from anger, his hard work training soldiers for five years had been in vain before even reaching the Battlefield!
Several black-clad members of the Quanrong Clan appeared and started to set up formations, Bai Ruozhu took out her sleeve arrow and shot several arrows towards them.
Jiang Yichun controlled the water vapor to entangle one of them, directly blocking his mouth and nose, causing him to suffocate to death.
"Now, attack!" At Bai Ruozhu’s command, Jianqi led the charge, taking one life with each swing of his blade, these heads serving as offerings for the innocent civilians who had died, hoping their spirits could see, could be comforted.
Bai Ruozhu took a careful look, that formidable Mr. Hua wasn’t there, and sure enough, Ma Xingguo really wasn’t in the troop!
