Chapter 1626 Such breathtaking beauty
The whip came swiftly, catching Ling'er off guard.

However, after being thrown away, she quickly got up, drew her twin swords, and attacked Xia Zhaoyi, who was lashing out with her whip.

Xia Zhaoyi originally wanted to wait a little longer to see if any more people would come out, or to glean some more information from Nangong Qiuming and the others.

But the situation forced her to take action.

As soon as she made her move, the dozen or so female soldiers who had come with her and the six men that Lu Ningjin had sent to her also appeared.

Ling'er was swift and fierce in her movements.

Xia Zhaoyi's long whip had a distance advantage, but Ling'er's twin swords could cut through iron like mud.

The long whip was suddenly sliced ​​off, and Xia Zhaoyi quickly changed her attack, targeting her head or legs, while Ling'er kept looking for an opportunity to get closer.

The long whip struck the ground with a crisp sound.

Ling'er couldn't get close at all, but even under Xia Zhaoyi's offensive, she didn't let herself get hurt.

Nangong Qiuming was protected by a man and a woman, both of whom were equally skilled, and quickly left.

The woman next to Jiang Mei grabbed Jiang Mei's wrist: "Let's go!"

Ignoring Jiangmei's pregnant belly, she fiercely grabbed Jiangmei and dragged her outside.

"Slow down!" Jiangmei exclaimed.

The woman paid her no heed; as she came out, Jiangmei nearly tripped over the threshold of the wooden house.

This stumble made her stomach feel vaguely unwell.

"I feel terrible," Jiangmei said, clutching her stomach. "I feel so bad!"

"Go!" the woman said, her tone still fierce.

Nangong Qiuming walked through the village road, where a horse-drawn carriage was parked by the stream.

He always does things this way; whatever he does, he always prepares a way out first.

Two guards helped him into the carriage, and Nangong Qiuming suddenly thought of Jiang Mei.

Fortunately, when he turned around, he saw Jiangmei being rushed over by the woman, who was grabbing his wrist.

"Hurry up!" Nangong Qiuming shouted at them, "Let's go faster!"

"Did you hear me!" the woman yelled at Jiang Mei.

"It hurts!" Jiangmei cried.

She walked too fast, and all the muscles in her body tensed up, causing her stomach to cramp.

Suddenly, a surge of heat hit her, and Jiangmei screamed in agony, clutching her stomach and kneeling on the ground. The woman dragged her several steps forward.

"Ah!!" Jiangmei cried out, "It hurts so much!"

Large amounts of blood flowed from beneath her, and she trembled with pain.

"Oh no!" exclaimed the female guard beside Nangong Qiuming. "Is she about to give birth?!"

Nangong Qiuming was furious: "Did this happen at this time?!"

The woman holding Jiang Mei's wrist panicked when she saw so much blood and turned to Nangong Qiuming: "Sir, what should we do!"

Seeing Jiang Mei writhing on the ground clutching her belly, Nangong Qiuming felt a pang of pity and gritted his teeth, saying, "...Cut her open alive! Take the child out of her womb!"

His reluctance stemmed from the fact that Jiang Mei's face was truly beautiful, possessing a stunningly beautiful appearance that could topple kingdoms, and thus had great potential for exploitation.

This face is definitely more useful than the bastard child of the Qiao family in her belly. After all, the bastard child of the Qiao family can be found and recreated, but such beauty may not be found again.

But there was no other way; he couldn't possibly leave with a bloodied woman.

As soon as Nangong Qiuming gave the order, the woman immediately responded, "Yes!"

Jiang Mei's eyes widened in shock as she cried out, "No! Old sir, no!!"

The woman drew the dagger she carried with her and stabbed it into Jiangmei's stomach.

"Stop!" Xia Zhaoyi ran over with her men and shouted crisply.

Jiang Mei looked up and screamed in agony, pushing the woman away and trying to crawl away.

The woman looked up and saw Xia Zhaoyi, then quickly reached out to grab Jiang Mei.

The male guard beside Nangong Qiuming drew his longsword and came to stop Xia Zhaoyi.

"Help!" Jiang Mei's face was covered in sweat and tears. "Help me!"

Xia Zhaoyi nimbly dodged the male guard's thrusting sword, and while blocking his arm, she slapped him across the face, sending him flying.

The female soldiers who followed rushed towards the male guards.

The woman had already stabbed Jiang Mei three times.

One knife to the stomach, one to the shoulder, and one to the back. She grabbed Jiang Mei's hair, trying to drag her away, but Xia Zhaoyi's long whip struck her face and then snatched the dagger from her.

The woman screamed in pain, and was then kicked away by Xia Zhaoyi.

"Giddy up!" The female guard spurred the carriage, carrying Nangong Qiuming away.

Xia Zhaoyi quickly gave chase.

But then the curtain of the car window was lifted from the inside, revealing the mouth of a white and green medicine bottle.

A large amount of medicinal powder was spilled out, which was swept back by the strong wind stirred up by the speeding carriage and rushed towards them.

Xia Zhaoyi's eyes suddenly sharpened. She rolled to the other side on the ground and pulled out a handkerchief to cover her face.

She sped up and ran, then suddenly grabbed the carriage, lifted her long legs lightly, and with her slender waist supple, flipped herself up onto the roof of the carriage.

To steady herself, she knelt on one knee, but before she could settle down, the female guard's long whip lashed out.

Xia Zhaoyi dodged to the side, and at the same time swung her whip. The Thousand Silk Green Threads wrapped around the long whip, and the barbs suddenly appeared, twisting the whip into pieces.

The female guard gritted her teeth, drew her dagger, and stabbed it forcefully into the horse's rump.

The horse, in pain, galloped at full speed.

Xia Zhaoyi gripped the roof of the car tightly.

Suddenly, a long sword pierced up from under the carriage.

Nangong Qiuming gripped his sword inside the carriage, looking up at the sky.

He drew his longsword and stabbed again.

Stab again.

Suddenly, he heard a "thud" as the other person's dagger pierced through.

Nangong Qiuming immediately stabbed the dagger in the back.

He couldn't understand why, despite his dense and rapid stabbing, there was no blood.

Meanwhile, the other party was also stabbing repeatedly with a dagger, quickly riddling the car roof with holes.

Nangong Qiuming shouted, "Oh no!!"

Sure enough, the other person slammed down with their palm, tearing a large hole in the roof of the car.

As logs and dust fell, Nangong Qiuming felt a chill run down his spine. Ignoring everything else, he rushed straight out of the carriage.

He was too old, his limbs were stiff and slow, and in his panicked lunge, he fell straight down.

The female guards riding outside were caught off guard and couldn't protect him at all.

"Sir!" the female guard exclaimed, immediately abandoning the carriage and jumping down.

The carriage rushed towards the stream ahead.

The female guard rolled several times on the ground, quickly got up, and went to help Nangong Qiuming.

Nangong Qiuming fell into the water and twisted his bones. He had lived for over a hundred years and this was the first time he had ever been so disheveled.

Before the female guard could check his injuries, Xia Zhaoyi had already rushed over with her whip.

The female guard rushed to stop her.

Fortunately, she saw Ling'er riding up behind her.

"You wretched wretch surnamed Qiao!" the female guard cursed, "I'll skin you alive today!"

Her skills were clearly inferior to Ling'er's. As soon as she finished speaking, her arm was struck by Qian Si Bi, and blood gushed out.

However, she seemed oblivious to the pain, risking her life to stop Xia Zhaoyi.

Ling'er cried out, "Take the master away first, I'll kill her!"

She leaped off her horse and immediately attacked Xia Zhaoyi.

Ling'er was one of the few people Xia Zhaoyi had ever met who could fight her to a standstill.

Right now, Xia Zhaoyi can't beat Ling'er, but it's easy for her to get rid of her entanglement.

The female guard helped Nangong Qiuming walk toward the horse that Ling'er had brought.

Xia Zhaoyi refused to yield.

She seized the opportunity, and with lightning speed, lashed the horse's rump with her whip.

The barbs on the spiky horse spurred it forward.

Xia Zhaoyi instantly attacked Nangong Qiuming, and Ling'er was furious: "I'll kill you!!"
