BXBX NOVEL Chapter 154 Late Night Fight
Xiao Nanye, witnessing this scene, had a cold look in his eyes.
"You\'re courting death!"
With a swift backhand sword grip, Xiao Nanye\'s eyes were filled with killing intent. Jiang Peihuan knew that this situation was turning bad, so she pulled out the long whip from her waist. However, Xiao Nanye was up against three alone, leaving no room for Jiang Peihuan to step in.
So, she simply stood by and watched the fight.
The sounds of fighting on the roof alarmed everyone in the Shan Mountain Village.
When she saw the bandits running out, Jiang Peihuan flew down and lashed out with the long whip in her hand.
In an instant, the approaching crowd fell.
Xiao Nanye, seeing that Jiang Peihuan could handle herself, didn\'t come down from the roof.
"Huan Er, you\'re not fair, you started a fight without calling me."
At this moment, Jiang Peihuan saw Xue Qi coming towards her, with Lin Xingchen beside him.
However, Jiang Changbai was nowhere to be found.
Not seeing her elder brother, Jiang Peihuan couldn\'t help but ask Xue Qi, "Cousin Qi, where is my elder brother?"
"I asked him to stay there and protect those people."
Both Xue Qi and Lin Xingchen were rare expert. With their help, Jiang Peihuan felt she was hardly needed.
Looking at Xiao Nanye on the roof, she turned to the two and said, "I\'m going to help Xiao Nanye, I\'ll leave here to you."
With that, Jiang Peihuan flew away. When she reached the roof, she saw the gang leader running towards the back mountain.
Seeing this, she immediately pursued.
"Huan Er, be careful!"
People behind her shouted when they saw Jiang Peihuan\'s actions.
Jiang Peihuan didn\'t respond, but pursued the man in front of her with all her strength. Her lightness skills were not weak, as she had been taught by Jiang Hong himself.
However, the man\'s lightness skill was faster than hers.
By the time she reached the back mountain, Jiang Peihuan suddenly realized the man had disappeared.
Looking at the quiet back mountain, Jiang Peihuan frowned, but she gripped her long whip tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.
There was a slight sound in her ear. Without thinking, she flipped her wrist and the long whip in Jiang Peihuan\'s hand lashed out.
"Ah…"
With a scream, the man fell to the ground.
He touched his face and felt the moisture in his palm. His eyes were filled with fury, "I\'m going to kill you!"
As he spoke, he charged at Jiang Peihuan.
Jiang Peihuan didn\'t say a word, focusing on her opponent.
The man was a skilled fighter, but Jiang Peihuan\'s skills were honed on the battlefield, so she was more than capable of handling him.
But in the midst of the fight, the man suddenly threw a poisonous scorpion.
If Jiang Peihuan had not reacted quickly, the poisonous scorpion would have landed directly on her face.
But in her moment of distraction, the man\'s sword was thrust directly towards Jiang Peihuan\'s heart.
Just as Jiang Peihuan was about to dodge, the man\'s sword suddenly stopped. Looking up, Jiang Peihuan saw that a sword had pierced the man\'s shoulder.
Then, with a flick of Xiao Nanye\'s sword, the man\'s wrist was cut off.
In an instant, the entire back mountain echoed with screams.
When Xiao Nanye was about to pick up his long sword again, Jiang Peihuan quickly said, "Xiao Nanye, don\'t kill him yet."
Hearing Jiang Peihuan\'s words, Xiao Nanye changed the direction of his sword, but still managed to stab the man in the arm.
The man, seriously wounded, did not make a sound after his initial screams of agony.
Jiang Peihuan walked up to the man and said coldly," I\'ll ask you a few questions. You\'d better answer honestly."
"Heh..."
Hearing Jian Peihuan\'s words, the man sneered. His eyes were full of mockery. Xiao Nanye, who was at the side, saw this and flicked his sword, and one of the man\'s fingers was instantly severed.
The man grunted, but he did not dare to speak again. There was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Xiao Nanye glanced at him and spoke directly, "You better start talking, or I won\'t mind cutting off your fingers one by one."
"You, you\'re the King Cheng?"
Hearing Xiao Nanye being addressed this way, the man spoke, his eyes filled with terror.
But Xiao Nanye didn\'t respond to him.
Jiang Peihuan looked down at the man on the ground and said coldly, "Tell me, who ordered you to kidnap the Old Madam Jing of the General\'s Mansion? What were you planning to do with her?"
Hearing Jiang Peihuan\'s voice, the man widened his eyes, then after a few seconds of silence, he spoke in a low voice, "I can\'t tell... ah..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a surge of pain came from his hand, as Xiao Nanye had cut off another of his fingers.
Looking at the man lying on the ground, Xiao Nanye\'s eyes were full of gloom, "My patience is limited."
"It was, it was Prince Qing."
Jiang Peihuan already knew about it.
Upon hearing the man\'s words, she continued, "What did Prince Qing tell you to do next?"
Glancing at Jiang Peihuan\'s face, the man said in a low voice," Kill her."
As soon as the man\'s words fell, Jiang Peihuan\'s long whip wrapped around his neck. With a slight jerk of her wrist, the man\'s breath was cut off.
After killing him, Jiang Peihuan realized that Xiao Nanye was standing next to her. She subconsciously looked up at him, but saw that his expression was calm.
At this, Jiang Peihuan sighed in relief.
Meeting Jiang Peihuan\'s eyes, Xiao Nanye spoke softly, "Huan Er, next time if there\'s a need to kill, you don\'t have to do it yourself. Just tell me, and I\'ll do it for you."
"Huan Er?"
Just as Jiang Peihuan was about to speak, she saw Xue Qi and Lin Xingchen coming towards them, along with Jiang Changbai.
Seeing the man on the ground, Jiang Changbai\'s eyes were filled with coldness, "So it was these people who wanted to kidnap Grandmother."
"They were acting on the orders of Prince Qing."
"Prince Qing?"
Upon hearing Jiang Changbai\'s words, Jiang Peihuan nodded and then repeated what the bandits had said. After learning about Xiao Junhao\'s plan from Jiang Peihuan, Jiang Changbai\'s eyes filled with anger, "Our General\'s Mansion has no grudge with Prince Qing, why would he do this?"
"This is not the first time."
These words were spoken by Lin Xingchen, who recounted his initial ambush of Jiang Peihuan on the road while meeting Jiang Changbai\'s gaze.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Changbai\'s already grim expression darkened even further.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Jiang Changbai immediately said," Huan Er, we have to tell Father and Mother about this. We will then appeal to the Emperor for a judgment."
"Brother, do you believe that the Emperor would indeed punish Prince Qing on our behalf?"
Upon hearing this, a look of conflict appeared in Jiang Changbai\'s eyes.
Before he could say anything, Jiang Peihuan continued, "In any case, Prince Qing is still a prince. Besides, neither Grandmother nor I have suffered any substantial harm. So even if this matter reaches the Emperor, he won\'t really do anything to Prince Qing."
