Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 179, Section 179: Wounded
Gu Yunyi wasn't in much better shape either; his face was pale, and he quickly whispered, "Brother Zhou, I'll hold them off. You take Mengniang and drive away as fast as you can."

"But...but, Brother Gu..."

"I'm leaving Mengniang to you."

Xu Qingmeng's eyes were filled with tears, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something, so she uttered a soft Wu dialect sound: "Mmm."

Then, Xu Qingmeng slipped a small jar into the palms of Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia.

At this moment, two men ran over from the carriage entrance and reached out to grab Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia.
"Get down here right now!"

Gu Yunyi's eyes flickered slightly. Just as they were about to pull him down, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly swung his sleeve forward...

"Ah!"

"Holy crap, what is this thing? Achoo..."

"Damn it, chili powder... Ahhh... Achoo..."

Zhou Yuanjia said in a low voice, "Brother Gu, hurry up and continue."

Zhou Yuanjia pulled on the reins: "Giddy up... giddy up..."

Before anyone could react, Zhou Yuanjia had already driven the carriage in another direction on the official road.

"Catch them, don't let them get away."

"Damn it, hurry and chase them!"

"If you dare try to fool me with chili powder, I'll chop you up..."

The leader was furious. If he had only wanted to kill the man with one blow to give him a quick death, now he wanted to capture them and slowly torture them to death.

Xu Qingmeng could still hear the man behind her gritting his teeth as she sat in the carriage.

The carriage sped along the official road, Zhou Yuanjia driving with complete concentration, his forehead covered in sweat.

Gu Yunyi gripped the edge of the carriage tightly, glancing back every now and then. He saw the group of men in black on horseback hot on their heels.

Xu Qingmeng held her abdomen with one hand and gripped the carriage wall tightly with the other. The bumpy carriage made her feel uncomfortable, but at this moment, she was more worried.

“Brother Zhou, this isn’t a solution. We have carriages, but we’re not as fast as them,” Gu Yunyi said, frowning.

Zhou Yuanjia gritted his teeth: "I know, but for now, we can only create distance."

"Brother Zhou, find a bend ahead, I'll distract them," Gu Yunyi said to Zhou Yuanjia, steeling his resolve.

Zhou Yuanjia's eyes widened: "No, that would be too dangerous for you."

Gu Yunyi smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhou, I'm the one who's dragging you down. This way, at least we can be sure you won't be caught up, and we'll have a chance to survive."

Xu Qingmeng: "You...you...I..."

Gu Yunyi looked at Xu Qingmeng seriously: "Be good."

Just then, a fork in the road appeared ahead. Zhou Yuanjia gritted his teeth and steered the carriage onto the left road.

The road was rugged and uneven, making the carriage ride even more bumpy.

The men in black behind were moving too fast and had difficulty adjusting their direction; some of them even veered directly onto the road to the right.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Yuanjia drove the carriage even more desperately, but before long, those people caught up again.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yunyi jumped off the carriage before it had come to a complete stop.

“Brother Gu!” Zhou Yuanjia shouted.

Gu Yunyi shouted as he ran, "Go! Don't worry about me!"

Seeing Gu Yunyi jump off the carriage, most of the men in black chased after him. "You two go, and don't let the people in the carriage escape either," the leader said.

Xu Qingmeng was already in tears and wanted to cry out, but she knew it was too late to make a difference.

Suppressing his grief, Zhou Yuanjia said, "Sister-in-law, now is not the time to be sad. There's an intersection ahead. I'll stop and block them. You run that way and don't stop."

"No, absolutely not."

"Sister-in-law, listen to me, time is running out."

Upon reaching the intersection, Xu Qingmeng disembarked from the carriage and ran, not daring to waste a moment.

Tears streamed down her face as if they were free, spreading across her entire face with the wind.

However, Xu Qingmeng was pregnant after all, and her strength failed her. She fell to the ground after running for a short while.

Just then, a caravan of carriages and horses came from another direction. Xu Qingmeng's eyes lit up, and she shouted, "Help! Help..."

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed on the roadside.

In the last second before losing consciousness, she only had time to see that the leader of the team had a pair of sharp eyes, and with just a glance from afar, he exuded an imposing aura.

Pei Cheng narrowed his hawk-like eyes as he watched the woman fall helplessly to the ground.

"General?" He suddenly stopped, and his deputy immediately stepped forward in confusion.

"Go and see."

When Xu Qingmeng woke up, she subconsciously touched her abdomen.

He hadn't opened his eyes yet, but his face looked terrible.

"Madam, you're awake!" The maidservant who had been standing guard by her side hurried over.

Xu Qingmeng recalled what happened before she fainted, her expression changed drastically, and she tried to get up.

"Madam, please don't move. The doctor said you have signs of miscarriage and need to rest properly."

She looked at the young maid in front of her. Had she been rescued?
What about Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia?

"you······"

The maidservant smiled gently, "Madam wants to ask about Young Master Gu and Young Master Zhou, right? Don't worry, Young Master Gu and Young Master Zhou are resting next door. The doctor has already come to see them. Both Young Master Gu and Young Master Zhou have knife wounds. Young Master Gu's knife wound is more serious, while Young Master Zhou's knife wound is less serious. However, neither of them is in mortal danger. They just need to rest and recuperate for a while."

Xu Qingmeng's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, relaxed for a moment, and then became anxious again.

The knife wound was severe...

"Can I go and see them?"

The maid nodded. "Madam, let me help you over there. You must take care of yourself now."

With the help of her maid, Xu Qingmeng got up and went to the next room.

Gu Yunyi lay on the bed, his face deathly pale and his lips completely bloodless. If it weren't for the fact that his heart was still beating, Xu Qingmeng would have thought that Gu Yunyi was still alive.

Xu Qingmeng stood by Gu Yunyi's bed for a long time. Thinking that at this critical moment, he had actually stood in front of her and planned a way out for her, she couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Madam, you mustn't cry. You're pregnant. Let Young Master Gu rest."

Xu Qingmeng wiped away her tears, looked away, and then looked at Zhou Yuanjia on the other bed. Like Gu Yunyi, he was lying on the bed. Although he was not awake, his complexion was much better than Gu Yunyi's.

Zhou Yuanjia's injury was entirely their fault. Fortunately, he was alright. If there had been any real problems, how would he and Gu Yunyi have faced Zhou Yuanjia's family?

The maid was quick-witted. Seeing the woman in front of her, who seemed about to cry again, she hurriedly said, "Madam, the general said to go to the front hall when you wake up. I almost forgot."
