Reborn Lady: Unparalleled Daughter of Concubine Chapter 341

Chapter 342 - You Asked for It

Worrying about things that might happen increased their chances of happening.

They heard the fast footsteps of Leng Wu who kept vigil outside. Hearing that Maner was missing, he directly walked back into the tent.

Just when stepping into the tent, Leng Wu still held the belief that Maner wasn’t missing. Because he was responsible for guarding the military camp, he knew it would be so hard for one to sneak into the camp without being found. Maybe they got the wrong message.

But seeing Qin Yunuan was as freezing as a rock that had been stored in the icehouse for several days, Leng Wu also felt cold inside.

“Maner…” Leng Wu murmured, and he hesitated to ask Maner’s whereabouts.

“I’m sorry.” Qin Yunuan was very guilty and looked at the letter on the table. “Don’t worry. I will go to the woods tomorrow to take Maner back.”

“No, you can’t!” Leng Changxi cut in. He knew what Sima Ray wanted to do to Qin Yunuan, so how could he bear that Qin Yunuan met with that b*st*rd alone? “If you dare to walk out of the tent, I will tie you up. I won’t let you go to see him.”

“Changxi, how could…” Qin Yunuan argued. But suddenly, she felt someone hit her on her neck. Then her eyes dulled, and she lost consciousness at once.

Leng Changxi held Qin Yunuan who blacked out because of his hit in his arms. He didn’t want to do this to her. But under such urgent circumstances, he really didn’t know what to do. He only knew he couldn’t let Qin Yunuan meet Sima Ray, that dangerous b*st*rd.

Seeing Qin Yunuan, whose face was red, fell asleep in peace like a child, Leng Changxi felt as if time had stopped. He looked at her pretty face and cute look and thought it would be so nice if they could be like this forever. It would be so wonderful if they could live a quiet and peaceful life and not get involved in any fight or war.

“Leng Shuang, keep an eye on her,” Leng Changxi handed Qin Yunuan to Leng Shuang with reluctance. Holding Qin Yunuan’s shoulder, Leng Shuang did what Leng Changxi asked. Although she always followed and served Qin Yunuan, Leng Changxi was her leader, and she had to listen to him.

“Heiying, I give you half an hour to pick 20 most talented soldiers from the Leng Army and soldiers in black armor, and also prepare 20 horses for them. Go to the woods in the east and ambush there before dawn.” Leng Changxi gave orders quickly and vigorously. Then he looked back at Leng Wu and comforted him, “Don’t worry. I won’t let Maner be hurt. I promise she will be energetic when I take her back. And you, have a rest here.”

“No, I have to go with you.” Maner was his wife, the woman he loved most.

“No need.” Leng Changxi found that Leng Wu was too excited now, not suitable for working with others. Heiying walked to Leng Wu and patted him on his shoulder. “Don’t worry. We’ll all go with General. If I can’t take Maner back, I will kill myself. Besides, you are more familiar with affairs here, and it’s the safest way that you stay here with Her Grace to guard the camp. After all, we can’t say for sure that Sima Ray, no, Yu Haitang, won’t sneak in to cause any trouble when General is out.”

Heiying told Leng Wu the advantages and disadvantages of his stay. Leng Wu nodded suddenly. He was a bit insensitive now. Soon, Leng Changxi left the camp with soldiers. It was dark outside, and the sun might rise about 4 hours later. Sima Ray didn’t write when they should meet. But Leng Changxi decided to set off earlier, just to be on the safe side.

When they arrived, it was in the early morning. There was fog so that the woods seemed to be covered with a layer of white silk. Because of the moisture, their clothes and faces got wet. On Leng Changxi’s cold armor was the condensation, but he was not in a mood to clear it up. He frowned. No one could see what happened five meters away in such heavy fog, no matter how good his eyesight was.

“General, no one is in front,” the pathfinder reported, and his clothes were already wet.

“General,” Heiying looked back and asked Leng Changxi for orders.

Leng Changxi just said two words, “Climb up.”

Quickly, over 20 people directly leaped onto the top of the tall pine trees. The sun rose. The fog began to disperse but still hovered over the pine treetop. Gradually, they could see green grass down.

“General, someone’s there,” Heiying said and made a gesture.

Leng Changxi looked at the west side where there were lush pine trees. Many pine needles remained on branches even in winter. He saw a vague figure in a white gown flew across pine trees. That figure was so fast that he could almost compare with Leng Changxi in terms of light skills.

The person in a white gown landed and looked around to check the surrounding environment carefully. He seemed to have leveraged his genuine energy to sense whether there were other people nearby. Leng Changxi got worried. He could control his breath not to expose himself, but other soldiers were not that skilled. They might get exposed.

That man frowned and looked at where Leng Changxi stayed. Heiying and other soldiers were anxious. He might have noticed them.

But soon, a charming female voice caught his attention.

“You’re here.” The voice sounded familiar. It was charming and also firm. Only a brave female general could sound that confident. Leng Changxi raised his eyebrows. The voice sounded a bit too familiar for him.

But with layers of leaves, he could only see the view of her back. She was thin and small, as lonely as a leaf in the wind.

With many trees in between, Leng Changxi had to leverage his inner Qi to hear what they said, but he couldn’t hear it clearly.

“Good, brave girl. You’re worthy of my love. You should come to meet me alone.”

“Cut the crap. I don’t want to waste my time,” the woman said. It seemed that she didn’t like that old man in a white gown. She turned her head and looked at the old man up and down. She clicked her tongue and said, “Sima Ray, I didn’t expect you would be willing to live as an old man who was too weak to hold a sword, just for your meaningless hegemony cause.”

Leng Changxi held his breath and felt weird. He jumped onto another tree to have a clearer view.

“Miss Qin, you are as eloquent as before,” the old man said with a smile. But his eyes were full of love when he looked at that woman.

Leng Changxi was shocked. Right at this time, the woman under the tree turned around. The small face, light dimples and pointed chin. That was Qin Yunuan. But didn’t she black out because of his hit? Besides, Leng Shuang had kept an eye on her. She couldn’t wake up in such a short period. Leng Changxi became a bit excited and even wanted to jump down immediately. But Heiying stopped him.

“General, please don’t. It’s better to wait here. We don’t know how many people Sima Ray has taken. If we directly jump down, Madam may find it more difficult to get out of the trouble.”

Leng Changxi gritted and refrained himself from losing his temper.

He stared at people down for fear that Qin Yunuan would be hurt. The man in a white gown was Yu Haitang, or Sima Ray, who asked Qin Yunuan to meet him alone. Yu Haitang looked quite different now. He was younger and had more clear-cut eyebrows and eyes, rather than the sagging ones. He looked a bit like Qi people now. In other words, Yu Haitang looked more and more like Sima Ray.

Yu Haitang slowly walked close to Qin Yunuan with passion and desire in his eyes. He took a look at her lovingly. Qin Yunuan thought that look was disgusting.

Qin Yunuan took a step back vigilantly, but Yu Haitang followed.

“Your Royal Highness, your new look is truly better. But it’s a pity that,” Qin Yunuan directly sneered at Yu Haitang. “It’s still gross.”

Yu Haitang touched his slightly rough face skin and said with a smile, “I thought you would be nicer to me when I became another person. But it seems that you don’t want to save your maid. Well, she has been hung on the tree for a long time.”

While speaking, Yu Haitang turned around and took out a rope from a large pine tree behind. He pulled the rope. Suddenly, a tightly tied woman fell down from the tree. At the first glance, Qin Yunuan recognized that woman whose hair was messy. She was Maner who grew up with her together.

Seeing Maner was tied tightly to the tree with the strong rope like a rice dumpling and swung back and forth, Qin Yunuan was filled with hatred towards Yu Haitang.

“You, come here,” Yu Haitang tilted his head and threatened Qin Yunuan with a smile. He pouted his lips to ask Qin Yunuan to look at the rope in his hand. It was telling her that he would loose his grip of the rope if she didn’t walk to him. If so, Maner would fall from somewhere 7-8 meters high. Even if she didn’t die after falling, she would become disabled.

Qin Yunuan gritted and took a few steps towards Yu Haitang. He shook the rope in his hand. It seemed like an important thing for Qin Yunuan. Seeing Qin Yunuan reluctantly did what he said, he felt so happy.

“Good, come closer,” Yu Haitang even wanted more.

Thinking that the soul in that body belonged to vicious and cunning Sima Ray, Qin Yunuan wanted to tear him apart and throw to the wind so much. He should threaten her with Maner. If she hadn’t hit her acupoint before Leng Changxi hit her and threatened Leng Shuang to let her go, Maner now would already be tortured to death.

Taking a glance at Maner who was hung in the air, Qin Yunuan thought, Maner, it was all my fault to make you suffer much. Don’t worry. I would save you.

Qin Yunuan was just over 30 centimeters away from Yu Haitang now. The latter wore an evil smile. See, she was lofty, and Leng Changxi protected her well in the past. But now, she had to please me for a maid.

However, right at this time, a figure jumped out of the woods, and Yu Haitang loosed the grip of the rope.
