Chapter 818: Chapter 797: A Moment of Life and Death! (Part 4)

"It’s all what I should do,"

Lui Muyi said in a muffled voice, then turned around and spurred his horse to move forward quickly.

The howling wind screamed past his ears!

Watching the other’s swiftly driving silhouette, Su Pan’er sighed to herself, "Big Brother Lui, Pan’er has something to discuss with you..."

"Don’t talk about discussing; if there’s something, just say it directly!"

Lui Muyi forced his horse to move forward, while distractedly turning his head to talk to her.

The complete trust in his eyes made Su Pan’er choke up, as if thousands of words were stuck in her throat.

"Why aren’t you speaking?"

Waiting and not hearing Su Pan’er speak, Lui Muyi turned his head back, curious.

But he saw Su Pan’er with reddened eyes, looking at him with a tearful expression. It startled Lui Muyi so much that he almost caused his horse to collide with the roadside, but fortunately, he managed to steer it back onto the mountain path just in time.

He was somewhat panicked, "Pan’er, what on earth is wrong with you? Don’t cry, please don’t cry..."

Lui Muyi had seen women cry before.

His birth mother had died in childbirth, and over the years, it was Lui Ming who had raised him, but he had also witnessed the crying of several mistresses in his father’s rear courtyard since he was young.

When he grew up and began taking over the family business, he had frequented brothel and entertainment halls, where women’s tears or laughter could not move his naturally indifferent heart.

He had always thought that this was how his life would be!

Unexpectedly, his tranquil heart was disrupted by a little woman who suddenly burst into his life!

Ripples began to spread since the moment he saw her.

At first, he thought he was treating her as an opponent, then as a partner. Later, she slipped into the bridal chamber unnoticed, and with no guard up from him, she quietly settled in.

He had thought about capturing her for himself, but before he could fully understand his own feelings, she suddenly vanished mysteriously!

And at that time, he slowly began to recognize his true feelings in the years that followed. Sadly, she already had a husband and was living happily!

Lui Muyi was not a virtuous man or woman; he had thought about taking her by force. But seeing her happy eyebrows and eyes, he hesitated for the first time in his life...

She was so wonderful, she deserved better...

"I’m not crying, I, I am..."

Su Pan’er bit her lower lip shyly, blushing furiously with an embarrassed head bowed down.

Indeed, she hadn’t cried.

A light flashed in Lui Muyi’s eyes, followed by a suspicious swallowing sound in his throat.

When Su Pan’er heard the noise and curiously looked up, Lui Muyi was earnestly driving the cart.

Probably just her imagination, Su Pan’er silently shook her head.

She gritted her teeth, "I know I shouldn’t say it, but I have no choice but to. Xiao Min has just given birth, and there are pursuers behind us. If we continue fleeing, not to mention us, even the horses can’t endure it. What I mean is..."

The words, she ultimately couldn’t say them out loud.

But she still said it, feeling incredibly choked up in her throat!

"You mean to ask me to take the cart and leave, to draw those pursuers away behind us?"

There weren’t the slightest fluctuations in Lui Muyi’s calm voice.

"No, where are you thinking of going?"

Su Pan’er lifted her head and couldn’t help but give him a glare as the sounds of horse hooves behind them obviously began to gain on them again. Su Pan’er got up, poked her head out of the carriage to look back—there was no time left!

Immediately, she stopped hesitating, "Here’s the situation! Even though you know some hand-to-hand combat, you are not an expert in martial arts. My idea is to have you take Aunt Xiao and the other two off the carriage and then hide in the deep mountains. I’ll drive the carriage away. Once I shake off the pursuers, I will definitely come back to find you! During this time, the safety of those three will be entrusted to you!"

Xiao Min had just given birth, and the carriage was too bumpy; this was unsuitable for both her and the newborn child.

And for Lui Muyi, a grown man, taking care of two women and a child, one of whom had just given birth....

Su Pan’er knew it was highly inappropriate, but there was no better option!

It was then that Lui Muyi seriously turned his head to look at her.

His knowing eyes held a different meaning!

Just when Su Pan’er thought he would agree, he instead laughed, "Why should I be the one to get off the carriage and take care of them, not you? Logically speaking, you’re the Doctor, and you’re a woman, so whether it’s handling matters or traveling, you’d be more fitting than me, wouldn’t you?"

"No!"

Su Pan’er looked back again at the pursuers: "Those people are true desperadoes, all who have quenched their thirst with blood on the battlefield. Although the Lui Family is a local bully, compared to those men, you are simply not cruel enough! Whether it’s possible or not, we no longer have time!"

The sound of horse hooves from behind was quickly closing in; if they delayed any longer, even if Lui Muyi agreed, they would have no chance to escape!

Lui Muyi turned back to look at Su Pan’er’s eyes, which shone like stars, her dewy eyes sparkling, and suddenly he smiled!

Ah, her!

Beneath her fierce and robust exterior, what was hidden was her tender and kind heart!

She even went so far as to praise him, causing Lui Muyi’s hands, long stained with blood, to involuntarily clench!

No hurry, he had plenty of time and opportunities to slowly erode her defenses.

Little by little.

Until....

The pursuers behind them desperately whipped their horses, gradually shortening the distance between them.

Vice General Zhang was also feeling a strong sense of frustration.

To think that he, Zhang Cann, who had served the former emperor, was now shunned by most officials due to an unfortunate misunderstanding that made Qin Zitong fall out of favor with him.

This time, leading the troops, Qin Zitong had already declared that if they failed, it wouldn’t just be the life of Zhang Cann at stake!

As soon as he thought of this, he felt an inexplicable irritation.

He also thought of the people in the carriage ahead, who had sustained serious injuries yet managed to keep going until now, probably running out of steam. As long as he successfully dealt with this group of suspicious characters, at the very least it would be considered a victorious first battle and he would have accounted to the Imperial Court!

With these thoughts, he immediately perked up, unable to help but continuously whip his horse, urging it to chase furiously.

"Go! Go, go..."

The hoofbeats were incessant, the horsewhip flew, and one after another, the figures rushed by, kicking up a cloud of dust that swept up with the wind.

After the pursuers rounded a bend, Vice General Zhang realized they had suddenly closed the distance with the carriage ahead, and he was instantly elated!

"Charge! As long as we capture the people in the carriage alive, there will be a handsome reward!"

The soldiers’ spirits were immediately lifted by the promise of a hefty reward. After all, the prospect of a handsome reward inspires the brave, and each man began to press on with renewed vigor.

"Yes, sir! Go, go..."

Soon, some of them got closer and closer to the carriage, little by little, attempting to overtake it. Each of them focused intently on the carriage, their eyes like those of wolves, hungry and eager, all fixated on the people in the carriage.
