Chapter 668: Chapter 650 Shared Meal_1
Seeing this, two pioneers rushed forward to intercept from the left and right.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yi deviated from conventional tactics. He swung the silver spear in his hand and instantly launched one of the pioneers into the air, crashing down onto the other.
The pioneer officer backed off in terror, causing further chaos in his unit.
Jun Ruochen loudly issued commands to regroup, but with the deafening clamor of battle, his cries had little effect.
Qin Yi flashed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, darted towards the other pioneer officer, and stabbed his steed with his sword.
The horse let out a heartbreaking whinny and reared up suddenly.
Caught off guard, the pioneer officer fell off his horse.
Before he could react, Qin Yi charged forward, stepped on his chest, and with a quick sweep of his sword, held it to his neck and repeatedly stabbed it into his chest.
Jun Ruochen was stunned.
Qin Yi immediately channeled his internal force and shouted, "Jun Ruochen, your pioneers have been blasted! Do you still want to resist?"
The voice, filled with the power of the Innate Realm, echoed clearly on the battlefield, reaching the ears of both armies.
The battlefield fell silent in an instant!
Beset by his first defeat, Jun Ruochen hurriedly ordered his troops to retreat and set up camp thirty miles outside the city.
Only then did he understand why His Majesty had such high regard for Qin Yi. He was indeed a gallant warrior!
While Qin Yi and his men were battling, Su Pan’er and her team, mounted on their horses, had left the fleeing crowd far behind and were heading towards the mountains.
Most of the people along the way, racing with their families, had fear and confusion written all over their faces.
Within their group were people of all ages and genders. These womenfolk were accustomed to a lavish city life. As such, their cries of suffering were already becoming unbearable halfway on the journey.
Su Pan’er, mounted her horse with Little Yanyan slung on her back, couldn’t ignore the intermittent crying coming from a carriage nearby.
"Our master is heartless. While his older son stays put in the city, he made us escape into such hardship. Could it be that he has a change of heart and doesn’t want to acknowledge us widows and orphans anymore?"
The continuing wails were frustrating, and there seemed to be another woman trying to console her near the carriage.
"Mistress, please don’t cry. The master sent you and the second young master here because he cares for you. You’re better off here than in the city, at least you won’t be captured when the city falls. Mistress, let’s think positively..."
"Then why couldn’t it be her suffering this, instead of making me go through it? Is it because I’m helpless and easy to bully? They say it’s for my own good. In my opinion, I..."
"Mistress, please, enough. They say even Lady Qin, wife of Marquis Qin, is also traveling with the convoy. Marquis Qin is known for his adoration and would never abandon his wife and child. Please, Mistress, be patient..."
Annoyed, Su Pan’er spurred her horse to move away from the noise. The constant jabbering of these noble women only frustrated her more.
Qin Yi and his men were fighting fiercely at the front while these women were gossiping behind them. With no men around, their crying acted as salt on wounds rather than any comfort or aid.
She couldn’t help but look back towards the direction they had come from, wondering whether Qin Yi and his group had engaged the enemy yet.
Just as she was pondering, the leader of her female guards approached her.
"My Lady, we just received word. Master has engaged hand-to-hand combat with the invading enemy. He wants you to take refuge in the mountains as soon as possible. When necessary, abandon what must be abandoned and show no mercy."
"Alright, you can leave now!"
Su Pan’er casually ordered, wondering the meaning behind Qin Yi’s words.
Her gaze fell on that group of women, Qin Yi couldn’t have been referring to them, could he?
But coincidentally at this moment, the carriage, from which she had previously overheard the conversation of two women, had turned at a crossroad intersection, not following the pace of Su Pan’er and others, but instead took another road!
After it withdrew, several carriages followed suit, causing Su Pan’er to raise an eyebrow.
Was this a case of everyone parting ways?
Nevertheless, she eventually didn’t stop them, allowing those who wished to leave to leave unnoticed.
Nearing nightfall, the group, guarding Su Pan’er, arrived in a mountain dell.
The surrounding mountains were tall and forested, a rugged path cut through the middle of the dell, but there wasn’t a person in sight. Upon reaching this point, the crowd that was initially surrounding her had significantly reduced. There were merely a hundred or so people left from the initial group of over three hundred. This was quite a shock to Su Pan’er.
After all, they all set off together.
"Ma’am, it’s getting late, why don’t we rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow morning?" A female guard came forward to report.
Su Pan’er looked around and pointed to an open area halfway up the mountain: "Let’s set up camp there."
The place was open with a wide view, and it provided protection from the wind and rain. Even if enemies were to attack, they could retreat quickly and wouldn’t be caught completely off guard.
The crowd had no objections.
It was currently June, and it was not scorching hot in the mountain area. On the contrary, there were many mosquitoes. Su Pan’er spread insect repellent around, set up tents, and then settled down with Little Yanyan.
Everybody was occupied—some gathered firewood, some prepared the stove, some tidied up the rest area—everyone busied themselves effectively.
After looking at her surroundings, Su Pan’er handed Little Yanyan over to Nanny Zhou and made her way into the woods. A female guard intended to follow, but Su Pan’er asked her to stay and watch over the child.
Before long, she returned holding three hares, which attracted countless eyes from the surroundings.
Everyone looked at the hares with wide eyes. Looking back at the dry food wraps in their hands, they found it difficult to swallow.
With a casual toss, Su Pan’er threw the hares towards a handful of people.
"Cook these as well. We’ll have an extra dish for dinner tonight."
Even though it was a crucial period, Su Pan’er wasn’t planning to be too generous. After all, everyone still had some food at hand.
"Yes, Ma’am!"
The accompanying maidservants and old women were delighted and hurriedly took the hares to prepare them.
Before long, the scent of the meat wafted through the air, immediately stimulating everyone’s appetites.
By the time they really began eating, the watchers outside, in awe of the guards’ vigorous spirits, didn’t dare to make a fuss. All they could do was salivate as they watched Su Pan’er’s group eat their hare meat.
In the end, Su Pan’er couldn’t bear to see this. She ordered her guards to serve half of the rabbit meat and divided it into four parts to distribute among everyone.
Having been given the order, the guards were especially happy. They stood high on a rock, announcing loudly, "Everyone! These rabbits were a chance encounter along the way, there are not many, just these few. My mistress is kind-hearted and seeing everyone tired from the journey, she wanted to share the rabbit meat with the elderly, weak, and womenfolk. Everyone is welcome to eat! Remember the kindness my mistress has shown to all of you, that would be enough!"
