ATBLM [QT] Chapter 159.3

Seeing him leaving, Qiuhua let out a tense breath. Her legs went weak, and she almost fell. She asked softly with lingering fear: “Why is the Princess so courageous?”

These Beidi people were all tall, strong, and fierce, but the Princess dared to whip them.

“What are you afraid of? Does he still dare to hit me? Unless he doesn’t plan to go back to work.” Jiang Rui said.

She bet that Bayin wasn’t too stupid. She knew that once she was the King’s woman, he had to be a courtier, so now he should keep his tail between his legs and be a good man, instead of continuing to be arrogant and domineering in front of them.

After that, the journey was indeed much quieter. The people from Jokhang and Beidi who were escorting seemed to keep river water not interfere with well water¹河水不犯井水, hé shuǐ bù fàn jǐng shuǐ: 1. lit. river water does not interfere with well water (idiom); do not interfere with one another.

2. Mind your own business..

It was another half-day’s journey to reach Beidi’s Royal Court. The convoy stopped at a river to make final supplies.

Qiuhua and several palace maids got out of the carriage with water bags and went to the river to fill the water. Jiang Rui opened the curtain. The warm spring breeze poured into the carriage.

Spring in the north was more than a month later than in Jokhang. She was afraid that by this time, the peach blossoms in the Jokhang had already faded.

The wind brought a strange smell. She squinted her eyes slightly, put down the curtain, and found the dagger in the drawer.

As soon as she held it in her hand, there were several roars coming from outside the carriage. They spoke in the Beidi language, and she understood that they were robbers.

In such a place so close to the Royal Court, there were robbers, which was really worth pondering.

Jiang Rui heard the robbers roaring and rushing toward the convoy. Soon, swords were clashing at one point, horses neighed, and screams could be heard endlessly.

Qiuhua and the others screamed and climbed into the carriage, and they even rolled into the inner compartment. Their faces turned pale with fright, “Princess, there are, there are robbers!”

“Don’t panic, General Li will protect us, and since this place is close to the Royal Court, the number of robbers must be small. Reinforcements will come soon.” Jiang Rui reassured them.

After hearing this, Qiuhua and others finally calmed down a bit, and several people surrounded Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui was right. The number of robbers was indeed small, but they all looked like desperate people and were very difficult to deal with.

After the battle was stuck for a long time, the carriage suddenly swayed. Someone jumped up from under the carriage and stabbed a bloody machete into the curtain!

The palace maids screamed repeatedly, and one even fell on Jiang Rui.

She pushed the person away, stood up with the dagger in hand, and kicked the person out violently while he was still unfamiliar with the structure and could not see clearly due to being entangled in the curtain.

With that kick that brought her inner strength, she successfully kicked the person out of the carriage, and then she followed him closely. She put her heel on the other person’s wrist and crushed it hard, causing the scimitar to fall to the ground.

The person reacted quickly and turned his hands into claws to grab her ankle, but Jiang Rui was faster than him. The golden dagger slashed through the air, blood spurted out, and then a forearm fell, and a lung-splitting scream instantly filled the eardrums!

Jiang Rui was also slightly taken aback. She didn’t expect this dagger to be so sharp.

The intruder almost went crazy, his eyes were wide open, and he rushed toward her again, but in the next moment, he was nailed to the wall of the carriage by flying arrows!

Something seemed to be splashed on her cheek, something warm and sticky. Before Jiang Rui had time to distinguish, she heard the Beidi soldiers shouting excitedly:

“It’s the Great Khan!”

“The Great Khan is coming!”

“The Great Khan is coming!”
