BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126 - 126: Just Destroy Her
Afterwards, he turned around and went to Jiang Changbai’s courtyard.
Jiang Changbai was lying in bed recuperating from injuries. Upon seeing Han Feng come in, he quickly sat up.
“Greetings, Young General.”
“Weren’t you with King Cheng in Jiangzhou? Why are you here?”
“I was ordered by the master to deliver a letter to you, young General.”
As he spoke, Han Feng pulled out a letter from his own clothes and handed it over to Jiang Changbai.
Jiang Changbai took the letter without rushing to open it. Instead, he looked at Han Feng and laughed, “Your master wouldn’t made you rush all this way just to deliver this letter to me, right?”
Han Feng was originally reluctant to ask about Jiang Peihuan’s affairs, but when he heard Jiang Changbai bring it up, he directly asked, “Young General, do you know why the eldest miss suddenly went to Qingzhou?”
“My maternal grandmother is not feeling well, and my mother can’t leave Jingdou, so she sent Huan Er instead.”
Jiang Changbai said this openly upon hearing Han Feng’s question, and with this information, Han Feng directly left the general’s mansion.
After Han Feng’s departure, another person quietly left the general’s mansion, a maid beside Jian Mei.
An hour later, Pei Wu hurriedly entered Xiao Junhao’s study.
Since the incident with the sea hawk, Xiao Junhao had not left the Prince Qing’s mansion for a long time. At this moment, seeing Pei Wu enter, he looked up at him.
“Your Highness, I just received news that Eledest Miss Jiang has left Jingdou.”
“Where did she go?”
Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s name, Xiao Junhao immediately put down his brush and looked at Pei Wu.
Looking at his expression, Pei Wu said quietly, “She went to Qingzhou.”
“Pei Wu, I remember there are often bandits in An District.”
“Your Highness, are you suggesting…?”
“Originally, I intended to make her mine, to use her for my purposes. Now that she has agreed to marry Xiao Nanye, if she can’t serve me, then let’s just destroy her.”
“You will arrange this personally.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Jiang Peihuan was completely unaware of the news in Jingdou.
Even though Lie Feng could travel a thousand miles a day, the horses of Deputy General Liu and Ye Xiao were ordinary. At dawn, Deputy General Liu rode up to Jiang Peihuan, “Eldest Miss, we can reach An District by running for another half a day. Shall we rest first?”
Looking at the sky, Jiang Peihuan nodded, and seeing a small hill not far away, she pointed and said, “Let’s rest at the foot of that hill.”
After the three of them stopped at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Peihuan let Lie Feng to graze.
Ye Xiao brought a water bottle and some dry food to Jiang Peihuan and said softly, “Eldest Miss, please eat something.”
“You two should eat as well.”
Jiang Peihuan took a sip of water and then slowly tore a piece of the hard dry food and put it in her mouth.
The rations were hard, but she didn’t complain. She had eaten worse when she went to the battlefield with Jiang Hong at her young age. So the dry food wasn’t unbearable for her.
“Eldest Miss, should we continue our journey tonight or rest in An District?”
“Given our current speed, we should reach An District by evening. We’ll rest there for four hours, and then continue our journey after dark.”
Jiang Peihuan liked traveling at night. The roads were less crowded, and they could move faster.
Deputy General Liu and Ye Xiao had no objections to her plan.
In the evening, Jiang Peihuan rode into An District.
An District wasn’t far away from Jingdou, but its prosperity paled in comparison. Along the way, Jiang Peihuan saw many beggars.
Having lived through her past experiences, Jiang Peihuan was not a kind-hearted person. But seeing some children among the beggars, she glanced at Deputy General Liu.
“Eldest miss, what can I do for you?”
Upon receiving Jiang Peihuan’s gaze, Deputy General Liu immediately came to her side.
Looking at the beggars, Jiang Peihuan said softly, “Go buy some buns and give them to the beggars. Remember, only give them food, no money.”
“Remember, only give me food. Don’t give me money.”
“Yes, Eldest Miss.”
Deputy General Liu didn’t know why Jiang Peihuan insisted on this, but he did as she asked.
“Eldest Miss, are you worried that if we give them money, those little beggars won’t be able to keep it safe?”
After Deputy General Liu left, Ye Xiao turned to Jiang Peihuan and asked.
Jiang Peihuan did not answer, but nodded.
After finding a simple inn and having dinner, Jiang Peihuan set off again with Deputy General Liu and Ye Xiao.
After leaving An District and traveling half a day, they would reach Qingzhou.
However, as they just left the city, Deputy General Liu frowned and looked at the two roads ahead. He whispered, “Eldest Miss, let’s take the main road. I’ve heard An District isn’t very peaceful.”
“Yes.”
With the idea of avoiding trouble, Jiang Peihuan rode Lie Feng to the main road. However, only an hour later, she saw torches up ahead.
In the darkness, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t see the faces of the people holding the torches. They were all masked with black cloth, but based on their attire, she guessed they were bandits.
“Who are you?”
Seeing them, Deputy General Liu immediately stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Jiang Peihuan, his eyes cold as he addressed the unknown group.
The people across didn’t respond, instead, they studied Jiang Peihuan carefully.
Recognizing her as the one they were looking for, the leader of the men spoke directly, “Take the woman in the middle alive, kill the other two.”
On hearing the man’s words, Jiang Peihuan frowned, while a cold glint appeared in Ye Xiao’s eyes. “Such big talk! You think you can kill me?” she taunted.
With that, Ye Xiao was the first to draw her long sword.
Seeing this, Deputy General Liu also drew his long sword.
Both Ye Xiao and Deputy General Liu were top fighters, and Jiang Peihuan thought they would be more than enough to handle these bandits.
However, the scene before her caused Jiang Peihuan to display a troubled expression.
While the bandits’ martial arts were inferior to Ye Xiao and General Deputy Liu, but their coordinated attack made it difficult for Ye Xiao and Liu to gain the upper hand.
At this point, the previously inactive man suddenly drew his sword. Seeing him lunge towards Deputy General Liu, Jiang Peihuan quickly pulled out her whip from her waist, whipping it towards the man’s wrist.
Hearing the whooshing sound, the man dodged by twisting his body and quickly leaped onto his horse.
Jiang Peihuan did not stop her attacks. With a flick of her wrist, the whip lashed towards the man’s head.
He dodged, a glint of malice in his eyes, “I was willing to spare your life, don’t push your luck.”
Seeing the man evade her whip twice, a troubled look appeared in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes..
