Chapter 966: Chapter 966: Tuoba Lie is Bitten

Poisonous snakes suddenly swarmed around Tuoba Lie, some of which were highly venomous. They had not been out long before many horses were bitten and killed, and for a moment the air was filled with horses neighing and terrible screams.

Tuoba Lie’s men dared not make any rash moves.

Then, the city gate opened.

Through the gate, Tuoba Lie could faintly see a carriage growing further away. He was about to give chase, but a white figure blocked his way—it was Lu Jianxi.

Lu Jianxi said sternly, "Villain, you’ve kidnapped the people of Dajin and now you want to attack the city gate, think again. Take my arrow!"

Tuoba Lie and Lu Jianxi started fighting again. Long San had a clear view from above and immediately changed his tune, and in a blink, several snakes pounced toward Tuoba Lie. Tuoba Lie, busy fighting Lu Jianxi, did not guard against the Poisonous Snakes and was quickly bitten. Gradually, his strength failed, and he fell...

To capture the thieves, first capture their king. Lu Jianxi quickly subdued Tuoba Lie, and after Tuoba Lie was captured, the soldiers behind also ceased fighting.

Brother Ye returned with Nan Feng, quickly packed some things, added some dry food, and stuffed a few cotton quilts into the carriage before continuing on the road.

Nan Feng couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Ye, are we really just leaving like this?"

"Yes, just like this! If you can’t bear to leave, we can always come back. But I hope you never have to," Brother Ye said as he folded the blankets into a comfortable shape and had Nan Feng lie down inside.

"Okay, if I ever miss them, we’ll have them come visit our home," Nan Feng said with some reluctance, cherishing these few friends she had, especially since Song Cheng and his wife had taken great care of her these past few days.

"Fengfeng, you don’t need to worry about them. Long San and Jianxi can rescue those villagers without any harm to them. It’s us who should take this opportunity to leave quickly while Tuoba Lie can’t follow," Brother Ye comforted her.

"Alright," Nan Feng agreed.

Brother Ye drove the carriage, not forgetting to tease Nan Feng, "If we had one of those planes you talk about, we could fly to the Capital City in an hour, right?"

"A car would do too, definitely there in a day and night."

"Fengfeng, you must face reality, we’re in for three to four days on this carriage."

"It’s not tough. With Brother Ye here, nothing is tough," Nan Feng gradually let go of her reluctance and looked forward to the life ahead.

No matter how hard or difficult the days to come, as long as Brother Ye was there, they would get through it all.

"..."

As the carriage had just left Shangzhi City, Brother Ye suddenly pulled on the reins.

Nan Feng sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled back the curtain.

Standing at the crossroads ahead was a man of considerable height, wielding a large hammer and boldly blocking the road.

The man looked ferocious and powerful and supremely arrogant.

Yet Brother Ye remained calm, "Mu Tuo, knowing you have already lost to me, you still dare to seek death?"

It was Mu Tuo, the very same man Lu Jianxi had faced in the martial contest for marriage.

Nan Feng also recognized him, having seen him several times in Dashun. He was regarded as the first master of Dashun, and he was fiercely loyal to Tuoba Lie.

Mu Tuo looked at Brother Ye, "His Highness the Second Prince ordered me to hold you back here; I am merely following orders."

"But do you think you are capable of that?" Brother Ye asked.

"If it were just General Nangong alone, naturally I would not, but you need to protect the Second Princess, so I do!" Mu Tuo declared.

"She’s not your Second Princess, she’s my wife," Brother Ye replied, then turned back to warn Nan Feng, "Wait for me in the carriage, don’t come out. I’ll deal with him, and then we’ll be on our way."
