Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 161 Entering the Mountain
Unfortunately!
……

"Well, the Rong family is doomed!"

In the dense forest, Sheng Changquan watched as the third guard chose to drive the carriage back, and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, revealing their fate.

Because he knew that the group of men in black were not only intercepting him on one side of the road, but they had also set traps on the mountain road back, and that was where their real killing move was.

"Young Master, are we leaving?"

Xu Changqing also foresaw the fate of Rong Feiyan and the others. At this moment, seeing the situation below gradually calming down, he couldn't help but ask Sheng Changquan in a low voice, "Or...?"

"Let's go!"

Sheng Changquan shook his head, indicating that he would not get involved in this matter.

After all, as long as these people don't mess with him, he'll let them do as they please. He doesn't care if they fight each other to the death, since they're not on the same side anyway.

"These people are truly killing machines!"

As he watched the men in black below finish off the Rong family's servants and guards one by one, Sheng Changquan showed a look of pity.

However, Sheng Changquan only expressed this opinion on the surface. For some reason, he did not feel any discomfort when he saw such a bloody scene. In fact, he felt a little excited when he saw the scenes of knives cutting into flesh!
Sheng Changquan's expression of reluctance was merely a subconscious act, almost an instinct to avoid letting outsiders see his abnormality!

After all, whether good or bad, everyone hopes their friend is a kind person. Even if they are master and servant, Xu Changqing probably prefers his young master to be a kind-hearted person.

"Could it be that there's something wrong with me psychologically?"

Just as Sheng Changquan was analyzing himself and gradually doubting his own mental state, Xu Changqing spoke up.

"It's a pity about those three heroes; they were surrounded and killed!"

Seeing Sheng Changquan's expression of reluctance, Xu Changqing pointed to the three fallen warriors below and sighed.

Of the four palace guards, only the third brother survived because he was protecting Rong Feiyan. The others, including the guard surnamed Hu, were all killed by two or three men in black. In particular, the guard surnamed Hu was attacked by four men!
Even so, before his death, the guard surnamed Hu still managed to kill one of the men, making the number of the thirteen men in black twelve.

"There's nothing I can do, I have too many incompetent teammates!"

Sheng Changquan secretly glanced at Xu Changqing and, finding that he hadn't noticed anything amiss, also made a comment.

"If the three of them could have let go of those burdens, the outcome would definitely have been different!"

"Too!"

Xu Changqing nodded in agreement.

"Let's go!"

Before the men below could finish off the attack, Sheng Changquan quickly got up and called Xu Changqing to follow. The two of them retreated quickly, carefully minimizing their movements to avoid being noticed by the men in black below.

……

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

On the secluded mountain path, the third guard, enduring his increasingly unbearable physical strain, kept driving the carriage back, hoping to reach the capital before the men in black could free up their hands and seek help from nearby soldiers.

After all, the streets and alleys of the capital were patrolled by imperial guards.

For now, this is their only hope. Although the chances of success are slim, it is still much more reliable than hoping that a peerless hero will descend from the sky on auspicious clouds!
"Teng!"

As the saying goes, "When it rains, it pours," just as the third guard was struggling to withstand the backlash of the forbidden technique, a tripwire suddenly appeared on the mountain road, tripping the speeding carriage!
"Bang!" The horse fell over, and the carriage behind it was naturally not spared either, and was directly knocked to pieces.

This tripwire is hidden on the side of the mountain road in an extremely concealed location. If the carriage is going too fast and the driver is not paying attention, it is easy for the carriage to overturn.

The third guard, who was already bracing himself to drive the carriage, was struck by misfortune and died instantly.

"ah!"

Inside the carriage, Rong Feiyan and her servant, who had just recovered from the carnage, only managed to shout once before being thrown out by the scattered carriage.

"Boom!"

Two petite bodies were thrown out like tattered sacks.

"Woooo..."

Rong Feiyan, who had never suffered such humiliation before, immediately lay down on the ground and cried!
They cried and wailed, disregarding everything else!
"girl!"

Peony, who had also been thrown out, staggered to her feet from a distance. Ignoring her own injuries, she rushed to Rong Feiyan's side, helped her up, and asked with concern, "Miss, are you alright?"

Actually, of the two, it was Peony who was more seriously injured!
When Rong Feiyan and her maid were thrown out, Mudan shielded Rong Feiyan with her own body to protect her mistress. As a result, when the carriage was destroyed, Mudan suffered many impacts and her body was covered in bruises.

"Woooo..."

Rong Feiyan was so focused on crying that she couldn't care less about anything else.

"Girl, don't cry, there are still enemies behind us!"

Peony carefully examined Rong Feiyan and, finding her to be unharmed, finally couldn't help but warn her, "Miss, if they catch us, we'll be in big trouble!"

"what?"

Rong Feiyan, filled with boundless grief, was suddenly startled!
"Yes... Waaah... Hurry! We have to go!"

"I need my sister to save me!"

Rong Feiyan, who was crying so hard that her whole body felt weak, immediately became anxious upon hearing Mudan's words!

In her panic, she lost her composure and foolishly shouted that she wanted to find her sister, hoping to get protection from her family!
"Shh!"

Even in this emergency, Peony couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly!

"I never expected that this usually noble and intelligent girl would behave like this when faced with danger?"

At this moment, how was Rong Feiyan any different from those children who had been beaten and were yelling to go home to find their mothers?

At most, it's just a bit taller and bigger. In terms of usefulness, it might not be as good as those children. After all, when children get reckless, they're not afraid of anything!

Peony took the opportunity to glance at the scattered carriages and the heroic Third Guard who had sacrificed himself. She was almost in despair!
However, Peony, who had been used to a hard life since childhood, did not give up hope of escaping. She glanced at her surroundings and quickly made a decision.

"Girl, let's go quickly!"

"Go through the dense forest!"

It seems like it's going to be released tomorrow, but I'm out of drafts, so I've been posting two chapters a day for the past few days...
