Chapter 490: Chapter 489: Ambushed_1

Something big happened in Yongze County, the chief clerk Bai, who was supposed to be executed after the autumn, died unexplainably in prison!

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty hundreds of years ago, there had always been a rule of "execution in the fall or winter." Except for those who committed treason or extremely heinous offenses, who were executed immediately, all other condemned prisoners had to wait until after the first frost of autumn, before the winter solstice, before they were executed.

The first frost was coming soon. With the sudden death of Chief Clerk Bai, as the parent-like official of Changze County, he naturally couldn’t delay. He had to prepare for the journey, and he had to leave for Changze County the moment the sky lighted the next day.

Su Pan’er had planned to follow Qin Yi to his new post once the baby in her belly was four months old.

But with this sudden incident, no one felt comfortable having her travel with her huge belly. Helplessly, Qin Yi had to reluctantly leave her in Yongze County and take the journey back to Changze County alone.

After this near-death experience, their feelings for each other became even more intimate.

They had just reunited not long ago, but now they had to part again. Both were particularly unwilling. They chatted at the head of the bed until dawn, and Su Pan’er only then couldn’t help but doze off.

When she woke up, the person beside her had long disappeared.

Qin Yi had quietly left while she was asleep!

Su Pan’er rushed out of the main entrance, only to see light rain still falling outside. From afar, she couldn’t see any traces of Qin Yi. In the end, she could only gaze into the distance, imagining his departure, and after standing there for quite a while, she returned to the house with a desolate expression.

With Qin Yi’s departure, it was as if he had taken away Su Pan’er’s backbone.

Mrs. Su-Hua made many delicious and nourishing foods for Su Pan’er in various ways, trying to nourish her body.

She ate a lot, but still continued to lose weight.

All day long she was listless, resting in bed. Staring at the foggy view outside the window, she imagined where Qin Yi could be at this moment?

At this moment, Qin Yi was hurrying on his way, braving the rain. Finally, just as the sky was about to darken completely, he arrived at the small inn by the postal relay station.

Since it was deep autumn, the temperature plunged when night fell. Soaked completely, he naturally requested hot water to wash up.

Worried about the wounds on his back not yet healed, he peeled off his wet clothes, untied the bandages to apply medicine, but then heard a noise coming from the window.

Qin Yi was taken aback!

He quietly avoided it and grabbed the lamp holder beside him.

Bang!

The window and the door exploded simultaneously!

Numerous shadows overthrew the window and the door, rushing towards the bed. Several shining broadswords cut down at the same time...

Clang!

The bed couldn’t withstand the repeated hits, crashing down!

There was no one on the bed!

The figures paused then simultaneously fixed their gazes on the small compartment.

Looking at the reflection on the wall, Qin Yi exerted a hidden force in his hand, directly extinguishing the lamp.

"He’s here!"

The masked man shouted, and all of them pounced towards Qin Yi.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Qin Yi’s mouth. His figure flashed, instantly appearing before the masked man at the forefront. Like lightning, he grabbed the man’s throat, squeezed and pulled.

The head of the masked man drooped instantly.

Seeing this, the other masked men rushed towards Qin Yi with even more ferocity.

Qin Yi’s eyes were sharp as torches, illuminating the darkness, his hands did not show any mercy, darting about the mob like a dragon.

He soon took care of several of them, the rest, seeing they couldn’t win, turned and fled through the broken windows and doors!

How would Qin Yi let them escape?

The candlestick in his hand was brandished, entangling them in a fight.

The battlefield quickly moved from inside the house to the corridor. Everything in the corridor was involved in the chaos.

BOOM BOOM BOOM, CRASH! SPLATTER...

Various unusual noises frequently resonated through the inn!

Broken railings, partitions, column heads, and flower pots flew around randomly, rendering the place a complete mess wherever they’ve been.

The neighbors, hearing the commotion, scrambled out of their rooms in fright!

The candlestick in Qin Yi’s hand had somehow been replaced with a large knife in the fight. He had a starry, electric look in his eyes overflowing with a murderous intent. The bandage around his chest was soaked with red bloodstains, but he seemed oblivious to it.

The big knife swished and swished, turning into several arc-shaped afterimages.

Invincible in all directions!

Su Pan’er, in her sleep, felt heart-wrenching pain, cold sweat soaking her back!

In her dream, she saw Qin Yi being chased and assassinated. She wanted to assist, but she couldn’t lift her hand at all.

She saw Qin Yi covered in wounds, drenched in blood, but she was powerless to help. Anxious, she screamed and woke up from her dream.

Upon opening her eyes, she realized she was still lying in her warm bed while her body was drenched in sweat.

From a distance, waves of dog barks were making people restless.

In the adjacent room, Miaoyu, who was on night duty tonight, breathed heavily, obviously in deep sleep.

It was very dark outside; the outline of the window faintly appeared in sight. A mild breeze fluttered the curtains but did not blow away the remaining bits of fragrance in the room.

Wait, this isn’t right!

Suddenly, Su Pan’er’s eyes widened.

It was never her habit to use fragrances. Especially now, when she was pregnant, she would never use fragrances, let alone an exotic scent like this. She could faintly detect the scent of saffron and musk in it.

Both saffron and musk could potentially cause a miscarriage!

No, this is not an exotic scent!

It was clearly a charming fragrance mixed with abortive substances!

Su Pan’er was so taken aback; she didn’t know what to say!

The intruder probably didn’t realize that she had become immune to these intoxicating medicines. If it wasn’t for the overwhelming scent of saffron and musk in the intoxicating fumes, which irritated her, she probably wouldn’t have woken from her dream.

She held her breath and quietly sat up from the bed, slowly slipping off without even daring to wear her shoes, her bare feet stepping on the cold wooden floor.

She hid behind the curtains of the screen.

Outside the room, a whiff of thick smoke emanated from a mosquito-coil-like object and drifted into the room through the door gap.

Not too far from the door, at the corner of the room, a pair of bright eyes stubbornly stared at the door.

He was squatting there, his head wrapped but eyes exposed, and he was carefully observing his surroundings, fearful of waking up others.

However, he did not realize that another group nearby had already seen his every move.

"Should be about time, right?"

He murmured in a low voice. He extinguished the intoxicating incense, pulled out a knife from his back, held it in his hand, and gently pushed the door open.

The slight "creak" in the quiet night was particularly harsh, causing him to curse lightly.

He managed to sneak in through the slightly opened door and quickly shut it behind him.

In the room, Su Pan’er had already kept a watch on his every move.

She casually pulled her skirt hem and tied it around her waist. She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly.

Lil’ Bean, mommy’s going to deal with the bad guys!

You need to behave yourself. Don’t be naughty, okay?
