Chapter 1734: Chapter 1734: A Sword from Behind

Jiang Yichun took the Detoxification Pills, which could resist for a while, but his face was growing more and more solemn. It seemed that today, he won’t be able to leave...

He promised Ruozhu to go back and accompany her. How could he leave her to give birth alone? She had massive bleeding when she gave birth to Dengdeng, and it was he who saved her life. Whenever he recalled that scene, he felt scared. How could he not be there for her?

He also promised Little Dengdeng to teach him Martial Arts and take him walking the River Jiang in the future. How could he break his promise to his son?

And the unborn baby, he still didn’t know whether it was a son or a daughter. How could he leave just like that?

The sorrow and anger in his heart surged out, and the sword in his hand danced faster. But this also revealed a flaw in his back, and King Rui, hiding in the shadows, suddenly raised his sword and stabbed at his back!

"Big brother!" A figure rushed over, and with a clang, blocked King Rui’s sword. However, he himself was then exposed amidst the Swords, followed quickly by a sword thrusting into his abdomen.

"Cheng Hua, you..." Jiang Yichun supported the falling Yu Chenghua, fiercely slashing towards King Rui and the nearby Dragon Guards, forcing them to retreat half a step. King Rui also had his arm chopped off by him, writhing in agony on the ground.

The sword was still stuck in Yu Chenghua’s stomach, his clothes already stained red with blood. Jiang Yichun’s hands and feet were trembling. What to do? He was dying and had implicated Zhihe’s husband. He had let down his trusting and reliant family members!

At that moment, the Dragon Guards collapsed to the ground, one by one, even those with the best inner strength had to lean on their swords to stay up.

A silhouette swiftly rushed into the encirclement, grabbing Jiang Yichun and Yu Chenghua, and quickly jumped into the horse carriage nearby.

Jiang Yichun looked at his rescuer, and it was surprisingly the Medical Sage he had only met a few times!

He didn’t have time to ponder why, only thinking he must survive, and he must also let Yu Chenghua survive!

In the horse carriage, Gai Yalai was shivering with fright, huddled in a corner of the carriage, beside the nanny who was wounded by a sword, life or death unknown.

"Yichun, I really didn’t know they would betray you, I know nothing!" Gai Yalai exclaimed in terror.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Jiang Yichun gritted his teeth and shouted, unexpectedly finding the Medical Sage also shouted the same words, scaring Gai Yalai into silence, though her expression remained very odd.

The Medical Sage’s face showed more displeasure, seemingly unwilling to say another word to anyone. He went to the front to drive the carriage, which quickly sped out of the Capital City.

The Dragon Guards’ leader struggled a great deal to send out a signal, then collapsed to the ground, despair in his eyes. Others didn’t know, but he understood Chiyou’s cruelty. Having failed the mission, even dying seemed difficult now.

Sometimes living is the most painful.

...

The Medical Sage drove the carriage without daring to stop, as Jiang Yichun came to his senses, saying to Gai Yalai: "You hold the sword steady, don’t let it dislodge from the bumps, and be careful not to let the sword sink deeper. I’ll switch the Medical Sage to the back to save him."

"I don’t want to, I don’t want to!" Gai Yalai desperately retreated backward, but unfortunately, her back was up against the carriage wall, and she could retreat no further.

"At a time like this, can’t you help out?" Jiang Yichun roared, "I shouldn’t have softened and agreed to let you bring that group of King Rui’s scum. Are you satisfied now?"

Gai Yalai burst into tears, "How can you treat me like this? I’m your mother, the one who bore you with hard work. How can you treat me like this? How would I know they would act like this? If it weren’t for you angering the new Emperor, I wouldn’t be in such a situation. How can you blame me?"

Jiang Yichun gritted his teeth so hard they creaked, "Do you believe I’ll throw you down right now?"

Gai Yalai’s eyes flashed with terror, and this time she shut her mouth obediently.

At that moment, the nanny beside her hummed and woke up, eyes opening to see that Gai Yalai was unharmed, and Jiang Yichun was alive, she let out a big sigh of relief.

"Madam, young master, as long as you’re okay, everything is okay." The nanny’s injury wasn’t severe, her shoulder was slashed by a sword, but the wound wasn’t deep. She had been mostly frightened unconscious earlier.

Jiang Yichun had no mind for reunion, glaring at Gai Yalai, asking, "Can you help hold the sword or not? This carriage doesn’t spare useless wastes!"

Gai Yalai shrank back again, "I can’t, I’m afraid of blood, I’m really terrified."

"Young master, let me do it, just tell me what to do." The nanny endured the injury on her shoulder, moved over, and followed Jiang Yichun’s instructions to hold the sword in place.

Jiang Yichun gave Gai Yalai a hard look, then shifted to the front of the carriage, saying to the Medical Sage, "Thank you, senior, for rescuing us. My brother-in-law’s fate remains uncertain, please save him in the carriage!"

The Medical Sage kept a stone face, saying in a low voice, "It’s too noisy inside, I don’t want to go in."

Jiang Yichun was taken aback, wasn’t it quiet inside? But he quickly realized the Medical Sage was averse to the women inside.

Thinking of his mother that way, Jiang Yichun felt even more uncomfortable.

"Saving a life surpasses creating a Seven-level Pagoda, please, senior." Jiang Yichun cupped his hands in salute.

The Medical Sage sighed, "I’ll stop the bleeding first. Once we get to a safe place, we’ll remove the sword, perhaps there’s still a chance for survival."

"Good, good, thank you, senior." Jiang Yichun trembled with relief upon hearing there was a chance.

...

At the Bai Family in Mountain Village, Bai Ruozhu was suddenly jolted awake in the middle of the night, taking deep breaths, her back soaked with sweat, her undergarment clinging sticky to her back.

"Young lady, what’s wrong? Would you like some water?" Huang Qin, on night watch, asked softly upon hearing the commotion.

Bai Ruozhu sat on the bed with disheveled hair, seemingly not hearing Huang Qin’s words, her eyes staring blankly straight ahead, filled with terror and worry.

She had just dreamt of her Achun surrounded, Gai Yalai’s husband suddenly launching a sneak attack on him, startling her awake from the dream, yet feeling everything in the dream was so real, her heart sank.

If Achun were to take away Gai Yalai, he might clash with King Rui, and those besieging him seemed to be King Rui’s personal guards. In that case...

Bai Ruozhu dared not think further, or else she would go mad.

Pregnant women are prone to emotional volatility, and it’s easy for any negativity to be magnified. She couldn’t let a single dream drive her into insanity.

"Young lady, young lady!" Huang Qin, beside her, grew more worried by her silence, quickly calling a few more times.

"Oh, I’m fine, just a nightmare, left me in a cold sweat. Please fetch some hot water to wipe it off for me," Bai Ruozhu instructed.

After Huang Qin helped her clean up, she lay down again, pondering about sending Jianqi to the Commerce Association the next day to inquire about the happenings in the Capital City.

But come the next day, the Village seemed to fall into turmoil...

Mouka explains that each of my Chapters has 2000 words~ So, updating 4 Chapters equals 8000 words, which is practically the same as others updating 8 Chapters. Also, the charge is set by the system based on the Chapter’s word count, costing 10 cents per 1000 words, with discounts available for higher VIP levels.
