Chapter 169: Ambushed

r asked me to bring the disciples who passed the selection to the Fourth Elder for you to take a look at. See if any of them are suitable."“Ah…” The man’s eyes widened in obvious shock.Qin Luoyan had...Because there were ten soldiers, the Zhou surname general divided the men into two teams of five, taking turns to guard. The five gathered around the bonfire took out their dry rations and ate a few bites with white wine, which they considered lunch.

Qin Luoyan glanced in the direction of the few people, seeing that they didn't seem to mean to share their food with her. She sighed, stood up, and walked towards the small grove beside them.

"What are you doing!" The general surnamed Zhou saw her about to leave and rushed over, grabbing her arm and flinging her back.

The Zhou surname general was very strong, and with one swing, he sent Qin Luoyan tumbling to the ground.

Qin Luo yan raised her head and glared at him fiercely, then stood up and patted the leaves off her body. "Your lord asked you to protect me, but he didn't say anything about starving me. Well, since you won't give me food, I'll just go to the woods and pick some fruit to eat myself, right"

If it were normal times, she wouldn't leave even if she hadn't eaten for several meals. But now, she has a baby in her belly. In the past few months, although the baby didn't need much nutrition, many trace elements were indispensable. She couldn't let her negligence cause any accidents to the baby's body. An accident that comes from the womb can affect the baby's life throughout.

She wasn't willing to take risks, and she didn't plan on going far. She just wanted to find something around here to fill her stomach. If she didn't go too far, if anything happened, she could shout for help and with their abilities they should be able to get there quickly.

That week's general let out a cold snort, "The King said to protect your safety, but he didn't say we were supposed to treat you like our master. We don't have much food, and can't afford to keep someone as delicate as you." He added, "What if you ran off We couldn't possibly bear the responsibility." "But if you want to go into the woods, it's not impossible. After all, we are only responsible for your safety, nothing else."

The Zhou surname general finished speaking and pointed at the young general who was drinking, commanding, “You go follow her, don't let her run away, and don't let her get hurt. As for other matters, you best mind your own business!” He didn’t believe that the King would have the entire Fiery Sun Army disposed of for a woman from a brothel!

"I got it!" The little soldier put down his wine pot and ran to Qin Luoyan's face, his expression of disdain was not the slightest bit concealed.

Qin Luoyan rubbed her wrist, which had just been bruised by the fall. She didn't look at those people again and plunged straight into the nearby forest. The young general immediately followed suit.

The forest was very dark, and Qin Luoyan had no professional training in wilderness survival. She stumbled along the path, her arms aching from being scratched by branches after only a few dozen meters. In contrast, the young soldier moved nimbly between the trees, completely unharmed.

Qin Luoyan walked for a while, stepped into an empty space and fell down. Fortunately, it was only a half-foot high pit. She twisted her ankle but didn't fall, but the pain from her ankle still made her sweat.

"What a delicate little thing!" the young soldier sneered, showing no intention of helping.

Qin Luoyan gritted her teeth and remained silent. By the faint moonlight, she could see a crooked tree thirty feet away. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pear tree. She limped forward with her injured foot and reached out to pluck a pear, but she was too short; she was only half a foot away from reaching it.

Such a distance was nothing to the tall young soldier behind her, just an arm's reach. The young soldier merely smiled, crossed his arms, and watched.

Qin Luo'yan glanced at him leisurely, then turned her head and silently moved a stone used for standing on over. Just as she was about to stand on the stone to pick pears, she suddenly heard a "thump" sound behind her, and then the young soldier's laughter disappeared.

She turned back and saw the young soldier lying on the ground, his throat already severed and blood gushing out, while a figure in black with a masked face stood beside the young soldier, stabbing him in the heart with a dagger.

Even killing was done with such caution, a slash to the throat followed by a stab to the chest. This man in black was more than just cold-blooded.

The man in black drew his dagger and looked at Qin Luo'yan, his eyes filled with intense and burning killing intent. Under the moonlight, Qin Luo'yan only saw a pair of bloodthirsty and indifferent eyes before him.

"Help! Someone, help!" Almost in an instant, Qin Luoyan turned and ran back the way she came, screaming hoarsely as she went.

She was within a hundred meters of where the soldiers were making a fire. She could have shouted loudly and they would have heard her, but to her surprise, none of the officers came over here, not even a sound.

She didn't think they were intentionally ignoring her safety. After all, if something happened to her, Fu Zimu wouldn't let them off easy, unless they were currently out of their control.

She had only run a few steps when the man in black flashed forward and leaped to her front.

Qin Luoyan retreated step by step, saying as she did, "We are not from the mountains. We're just passing through. Look, we never even intended to go into the mountains. Brother, why would you try to harm us"

This was also where her confusion lay. If their target was the people in the valley, why attack them at the mouth of the valley If they were assassins targeting Fu Zimu, he had already entered the valley. A few soldiers weren't enough to warrant such a large effort. As for her, she was just an inconspicuous woman beside Fu Zimu. She didn't have many enemies, so these people shouldn't be after her.

“Whether you pass by or not, you have to die!” The black-clothed man’s words sent a chill down Qin LuoYan’s spine.

From the tone of the man in black, his target... was her

Qin LuoYan initially didn't believe him, but after thinking carefully, she felt he was telling the truth. Because when this black man killed the young soldiers, he didn't hesitate or delay at all. But now, when he wanted to kill her, he actually talked to her. This delaying tactic, unless she was his prey, worthy of his extra effort!

“Who are you Why kill me” Qin Luo’s throat felt bitter. She couldn't figure out what force this black-clad man belonged to. To say nothing of her escape this time, which was so secretive, even Fu Zimo had put in so much effort to catch her. As for the others, even her enemies would never be able to catch up so easily!

It's a pity, this time the man in black didn't explain to her. He just walked towards her with his dagger, "I have a habit when I kill someone. As long as she is my target, I let her choose her own way of dying. You tell me, do you want to be cut across the throat, stabbed in the heart, or perhaps, you could choose to hang yourself"
