Chapter 931: Chapter 933 The Rescue from the Sky_1

For instance, she could take Jiang Yichun into the Space, and she could also take Dengdeng in, but if she tried to take both at the same time, it just wasn’t possible.

She had tried it while the father and son were asleep and even thought about taking one in first, then coming out to take the other, but as soon as she came out, the person she had taken in was automatically ejected.

That meant she could only save one person. How could she choose among the three?

She couldn’t make a choice and even felt cowardly, only able to watch helplessly as Tu Ying went to sacrifice herself...

A hand gently patted Bai Ruozhu’s shoulder, Jianqi’s voice was less cold than usual, "Master, don’t overthink it. Miss Tu won’t be in trouble for the time being, we will find another way to save her."

Bai Ruozhu opened her mouth, knowing that Tu Ying had a fiery temperament, really afraid that if Tu Ying were captured to blackmail Tu Lie, she might become desperate and take her own life. But she dared not say it aloud for fear of bringing bad luck.

It was now the latter half of the night, and the moon above was very bright, casting a mournful light on the three figures of Bai Ruozhu and her companions.

Bai Ruozhu, feeling somewhat dizzy with hunger, thought for a moment and with a movement of her mind, took out a few pieces of Dried Fish from the Space and handed one to Jianqi.

"I left in such a hurry that I didn’t bring any dried food; this is all the Dried Fish I have, so let’s just make do with it for now," she explained.

Jianqi didn’t think much of it, took a piece of Dried Fish and ate it slowly, recovering some energy so he could continue on their journey later.

After resting for half a quarter of an hour, Tu Bai woke up. As soon as he awoke, he struggled to get up, saying he had to go find Tu Ying.

Bai Ruozhu’s expression darkened as she spoke sternly, "If you make any more trouble, I’ll have Jianqi knock you out again. We’re burdened enough carrying you as we try to escape; if we are caught, we’ll have failed Tu Ying’s painstaking effort."

Tu Bai was stunned, his face so pale it was frightening. He slumped to the ground with a defeated air and suddenly began to sob.

It is said that real men don’t easily shed tears, unless they are at the point of despair.

Tu Bai cried for a long time, mumbling to himself, "It’s all my fault for having poor talent, for being weak in Martial Arts, a grown man protected by his younger sister; I’m so useless."

Bai Ruozhu sighed softly, seeing Tu Bai so dejected, she couldn’t afford to be downhearted. The crisis was not yet over; she couldn’t afford to fall into despair.

"Jianqi, is there a way to contact our people? See how we can get out of here. Also, try to get in touch with Chenfeng and Muyu in the City, see if there is any news from Achun." Bai Ruozhu tried to stay calm as she whispered her instructions.

Jianqi’s expression was also not very good; he spoke in a low voice, "It’s not safe to send a Signal Flare now; it might draw the attention of those trying to capture us, and there are several experts over there."

"Then we’ll just have to be careful and find a way to escape, to find a safe place to hide," Bai Ruozhu said through gritted teeth, aware that the areas around Beiyu City were likely no longer safe.

"Let’s just take it one step at a time," Jianqi said as he stood up, his body swaying involuntarily. He had been using a lot of his inner strength during a day and night of fleeing.

Bai Ruozhu and Tu Bai also stood up and followed him.

They hadn’t been walking long when they discovered some footprints on the ground, left by the forces from Prince Duan’s faction! It was unclear whether they had searched this area before or had just passed by not long ago, and Bai Ruozhu’s heart rose to her throat again. Could it be true that they would not manage to escape?

Just as Bai Ruozhu’s heart was in her mouth, a sharp whistling sound suddenly erupted in the distance, and a signal flare shot into the sky, bursting and illuminating the far-off heavens.

At that time, the sky was pitch dark, the pre-dawn darkness, making the signal flare appear particularly conspicuous, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

Jianqi’s eyes lit up, "It’s our signal flare. Let’s move carefully and check it out."

"Could it be a trap to draw us in?" Having suffered at the hands of the northwest Main Camp, Bai Ruozhu was especially cautious.

"No, these signal flares are very rare, only those of importance in the Commerce Association have them. If the enemy wanted to set us up, they wouldn’t be so blatant about it. It must be reinforcements. They purposefully set off the signal flare. On one hand, they’re indicating their position to us, and on the other hand, they’re attracting Prince Duan’s men. It seems our rescuers are no ordinary force," explained Jianqi.

Bai Ruozhu’s heart surged with excitement. A signal flare from the Commerce Association, coupled with the strength to save them, that must be either her master or Achun!

She hoped even more that it was Achun. At this moment, she truly needed his comfort and support, as well as the plan to rescue Tu Ying. As long as he was there, she felt as if she had a backbone, believing that they would surely succeed.

With that thought, her steps quickened, and she even started to outpace Jianqi, who, seeing no other choice, sped up his pace as well.

As the three neared the area from where the signal flare was launched, they heard the sounds of combat. From a distance, a stern voice commanded, "Spare none!"

Bai Ruozhu’s eyes shone at once. It was Achun, really Achun!

Even though she was a great distance away and obscured by numerous trees, she could almost see him mounted on a tall warhorse, his face set in cold determination to punish those who sought to harm her.

Jianqi also heard Jiang Yichun’s voice and said with some excitement, "It really is our son-in-law, we are going to be safe."

He hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Bai Ruozhu dashing out, prompting him to shake his head helplessly and hastily follow to protect her. Tu Bai, seeing there was hope, also quickly rushed forward, perhaps there was still a chance to find Tu Ying.

"Achun!" Bai Ruozhu charged across the distance, her voice calling out, and tears began to well up uncontrollably. Days of yearning, two days of hardship and terror, along with the guilt and concern for Tu Ying, all turned into overwhelming grievance the moment she saw him and she couldn’t hold back any longer.

As Jiang Yichun heard Bai Ruozhu’s call, he suddenly leaped off his horse, activating his light body technique to dash towards Bai Ruozhu like a heavenly general descending from the sky, rescuing her from the darkness.

At that moment, the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, and the sky finally brightened. The two ran towards each other and then embraced tightly.

"Ruozhu, I’m so glad you’re safe, I missed you so much!" choked Jiang Yichun, his voice quivering slightly as he whispered softly in her ear.

Bai Ruozhu cried even harder. She wanted to tell him how much she had missed him, how much she needed him, but there was no time for delay. "Achun, Tu Ying went to draw off the pursuers to save us, you must find a way to rescue her!" she exclaimed.

Jiang Yichun gently ruffled Bai Ruozhu’s slightly disheveled hair with a smile, "Silly girl, don’t worry, we just ambushed the men who captured Tu Ying, and she’s been saved."

Bai Ruozhu quickly looked around and indeed she saw Tu Ying. Wiping away tears, Tu Ying smiled at her, "Ruozhu, I’m alright now."
