Chapter 1138: 555 Counterattack (second update)_3 Chapter 1138: 555 Counterattack (second update)_3 Fortunately, those men didn’t stop him.

He quickened his pace and dashed into the post station.

It wasn’t until he was inside that Mo Qianxue slightly parted the curtains, “Who are you?”

The grey-robed man leading them said, “The young master sent us to pick you up. Have you brought the person?”

Mo Qianxue opened the curtain further, revealing someone unconscious inside, “I have brought them.”

He said, “Hand them over to us.”

“Hold on!” Mo Qianxue pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Gu Jiao’s neck.

He frowned, “What are you doing?”

Mo Qianxue replied, “I think my life is probably in danger too. To prevent you from turning on me after using me, I need to get to a safe place before handing the person over to you.”

The grey-robed man narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Mo Qianxue said coldly, “The young master needs her alive. If she dies now, you won’t be able to explain it to the young master. As for me, if I escape, that’s my own business, and the young master will hunt me down later. It won’t be on your heads!”

The grey-robed man gripped the reins tightly, “Fine, where do you want to go?”

Mo Qianxue responded, “Fen County, thirty li from here. A quick horse and a lashing whip, half a 2 hours should suffice.”

The grey-robed man signaled to his men, and a group of them surrounded the carriage, with one dismounting to act as Mo Qianxue’s coachman.

The group sped toward Fen County on their horses. Halfway there, Mo Qianxue suddenly shouted, “Wait! Stop! She’s going to throw up! She’s drugged with ‘Seven-Day Drunkenness’; if she chokes while vomiting, it will be troublesome!”

Those skilled in martial arts naturally knew that vomiting while semi-conscious was very dangerous, so the group had to stop the carriage.

The grey-robed man, mounted on a fine horse, said to the man acting as coachman, “Check on what’s happening.”

The subordinate turned to lift the curtain.

A shiny silver needle whizzed out; it was too close and too fast for him to dodge, and it was already too late to avoid. He screamed in agony as he tumbled down from the carriage.

“It’s a trick!”

The grey-robed man drew the treasured sword from his waist.

Another volley of silver needles was fired, and the men waved their swords to block them.

And Mo Qianxue, she swiftly cut the reins of the carriage and rode away on a horse at breakneck speed!

Just as the grey-robed man was about to give the order to stop her, a sudden fire erupted inside the carriage, engulfing it in flames!

“The hostage!”

The grey-robed man leapt off his horse, chopped open the carriage, and carried the unconscious hostage to the snowfield nearby.

He had a bad feeling, and when he pulled down the veil from the face of the person opposite, it was not the hostage at all, but Hua Xiyao!

Indeed, Mo Qianxue had knocked Hua Xiyao unconscious and fed her ‘Seven-Day Drunkenness’ the night she came to find her.

The reason she had also drugged Gu Jiao was to be able to leave.

She had betrayed the young master.

She couldn’t escape a deathly fate,

But she didn’t want to die before her eyes.

Mo Qianxue pushed the horse to its limits, yet she didn’t get far before an arrow struck her horse.

The horse wailed and stumbled forward, and she too fell onto the snowfield.

Her entire body was in severe pain, and her chest suddenly hurt sharply; she spat out a mouthful of blood!

“Mo Qianxue!”

The grey-robed man dismounted and, holding his treasured sword, wickedly approached her with a grin.

Mo Qianxue reached for her silver needles but was kicked in an acupoint by him, instantly paralyzing her in the snowfield.

The grey-robed man crouched down, grabbed Mo Qianxue by her clothing, and violently pulled her to him.

He was furious, the rage in his chest having no outlet.

His eyes settled on Mo Qianxue’s slender, fair neck, and a wicked glint flashed in his gaze, “The Xianle Inn’s top courtesan, rumored to be untouched by any man. How about you enjoy yourself with us brothers today before you die, and live a bit of a merry life before your end.”

Mo Qianxue, unable to speak or move, could only glower at him fiercely.

The grey-robed man tore open Mo Qianxue’s clothing, exposing large swathes of pale skin to the biting cold air.

The grey-robed man had originally only wanted to humiliate and frighten her, with no real intention of doing anything else, but her body… was too alluring to resist.

Even a eunuch might turn into a real man upon seeing it!

The grey-robed man began to pull off Mo Qianxue’s dress…

Humiliation and despair caused large tears to slide down her cheeks.

She shivered, despaired, yet couldn’t help but think,

Luckily, it’s me.

Luckily, it’s me…

The moment Mo Qianxue closed her eyes, she suddenly heard an eagle’s cry above her head.

Then, the cold and stern Red-Tasseled Spear, with a resounding crack of the air, shot from the side towards the grey-robed man, piercing through his temple!
