Chapter 437: Chapter 433: You Can Go to Die_1
 

But how could she outrun Jiang Yingbao? She was about to be caught when she saw her child and her mother emerging from another room. She immediately cried for help, “Mother! Save me!”

Han Yueniang was also terrified and shouted, “Come here quickly!”

Chen Tiantian threw herself towards her mother, who quickly pulled her inside the room and shut the door with a bang.

Yingbao sneered, “You’d better hide well.”

Having said this, she turned and headed to another room.

Her first priority was to find her brother. She could spare these trivial figures a few more breaths for the time being.

She quickly stepped into the room and was hit by the strong stench of blood.

“Jiang Jie! Jiang Wu!”

Jiang Yingbao was horror-stricken. She slew two black-clad assassins with her sword, ignored the fleeing servants, and rushed over to Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu.

She checked Jiang Jie’s pulse and could barely feel it.

She used her sword to cut the ropes binding Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu, applied a bandage tightly to her brother’s wrist wounds, and extracted juice from a ‘Five Tripods Gingseng’, a ginseng that had grown for many years, dropped it into Jiang Jie’s mouth.

Then she compressed his chest and blew air into his mouth. Her actions were swift and proficient.

Yingbao checked Jiang Jie’s pulse again and seeing it had started to beat, she finally felt reassured.

“Sis, what happened to your hand?” Jiang Wu removed the rag from his mouth, disregarding the severe pain in his wounds and hastily asked.

Yingbao pulled her sleeve down and handed two bottles of wound medicine to Jiang Wu, “Hurry and apply the medicine, I am going to deal with the leader.”

Saying this, she rose to her feet and headed for the door.

At this moment, the courtyard was strewn with bodies. The door to the room where Chen Tiantian was hiding was wide open. She went in to see, but found no one.

Jiang Yingbao quickly climbed onto the roof and surveyed her surroundings. She spotted several people on horseback heading toward the woods.

Among them were Chen Tiantian and her mother.

On the other side, dozens of horses were galloping in, led by Wei Zhan and her father, Jiang Sanlang.

Ron Yingbao relieved her worries, picked up her knife and started chasing after Chen Tiantian and the others swiftly.

She guessed that the woman must have initially wanted to escape towards the official road but had to turn around when she encountered Wei Zhan and others, and ran into the woods.

This being the case, it was perfect.

It’s inconvenient to ride horses in the woods, Chen Tiantian would surely have to dismount and walk.

As for her, she was excellent at running. It was only a matter of time before she caught up with them.

By the time Yingbao rushed into the woods, Wei Zhan and Jiang Sanlang had already seen her and were heading straight in that direction.

The woods were dense, filled with rocks and vines, making it extremely difficult to navigate.

The horse beneath Chen Tiantian soon stopped and refused to move forward.

“Mother! Mother! What should we do?” Chen Tiantian’s facecloth had fallen off, revealing a skin as horrifying as a spider’s web. She anxiously called out to Han Yueniang.

Han Yueniang frowned and said, “Dismount and lead it over, then get back on.”

“But what if they catch up with us?” Chen Tiantian said with a sob.

Han Yueniang sternly replied, “You can stay here then!”

Under her mother’s harsh reprimand, Chen Tiantian’s eyes filled with tears. She reluctantly dismounted and led her horse forward.

When the horse finally managed to cross the stony path and thorny bushes, she was trembling so much that she couldn’t mount.

An impatient guard said, “Are you going or not? If not, we’re leaving.”

Their master was already dead. Some of them were considering fleeing, but Han Yueniang had said she could take them to Jin Country to live since her husband was an officer there and it wouldn’t be a problem to take in a few warriors.

Hence, the guards were undecided.

This time their master had made a big mistake, and as accomplices, they definitely couldn’t stay in Dazhou. They might as well go to Jin Country with Han Yueniang.

Although they were tempted, they also harbored great resentment towards Chen Tiantian.

If it weren’t for her constant misguidance, why would their promising young lord risk it all to murder the Jiang Family?

Now, the ugly duckling not only led their master to death but also forced them to leave their hometown, separating them from their wives and children.

“Can you help me?” Chen Tiantian, unable to mount her horse after several attempts, was desperate.

A guard suppressed his rage, dismounted, and helped her onto the saddle.

Suddenly, a figure dressed in deep green robes, dappled with blood, emerged holding a long knife. She quickly and silently approached.

“Ahhhh!” Chen Tiantian screamed in terror, urging her horse to gallop away.

A flash of cold light crossed by, and the horse fell into a pool of blood.

Chen Tiantian stumbled into the bushes, her body covered with grass seeds and thorns. She backed away in fright, screaming incessantly, “Don’t come over!”

Seeing this, Han Yueniang knew she could not save her daughter and urgently spurred her horse to flee.

A few guards ran even faster than her, disappearing into the woods in an instant.

Ignoring those people, Yingbao raised her long knife, ready to strike Chen Tiantian.

“Stop! Stop now!” Someone shouted.

Turning to look, Yingbao saw a group of people on horseback rushing in.

The person who had shouted was an official from the Ministry of Justice, who was holding a token and called out to Yingbao, “My Lady, this case has been turned over to the Ministry of Justice. Please, don’t kill anymore!”

With a cold laugh, Yingbao raised her knife again to strike.

Chen Tiantian cried out in horror and passed out in fear.

Suddenly, Yingbao was sucked into the cave dwelling by a great force.

Due to the sudden incident, she was thrown hard against the cave wall, the impact leaving her in severe pain, her cracked skin oozing blood.

Yingbao frowned, not understanding why she had suddenly been pulled into the cave dwelling.

Lifting her head, she saw radiant light swirling on the cave ceiling, with a large rune faintly visible.

She suddenly understood.

It turned out that everything was the work of the rune on the cave ceiling.

Having realized this, she decided to destroy the runes!

But before she could destroy the runes, she needed to kill Chen Tiantian first to eliminate future trouble.

However, no matter what Yingbao did, she couldn’t leave.

Yingbao stared at the rune on the ceiling, her eyes narrowed.

Was she trapped in this cave dwelling?

She tightly gripped the long knife in her hand, her heart stirred, and her body slowly rose.

She raised the long knife, exerted all her strength and slashed it hard against the rune.

For a moment, golden light shone brightly, and the rune emitted a dazzling glow.

Yingbao’s skin cracked open some more, and even her mouth was full of blood.

She slowly smeared the fresh blood from her palm onto the long knife, and once again raised the knife to strike the rune.

Crackling sounds rang out! Broken stones flew around, the rune dimmed a bit, and Yingbao’s entire body was quickly soaked in fresh blood.

She telekinetically picked up the five-ding herb that had scattered about and collected them into two large gourds.

Afterward, she stuffed a large petal into her mouth, and also swallowed a half ginseng root.

In a short while, she felt some of her strength return, and she raised her knife to strike again.

After countless strikes, the rune finally shattered with a crack.

As the rune collapsed, the entire ceiling’s rubble began to dance, gradually forming a tornado in the cave.

Then, a golden orb and the pool turned into a stream of light, flying into Yingbao’s eyes.

At the same time, a rush of information flooded into her brain, reminding her of many things.

Yingbao waved her hand, and the golden book and mirror from the courtyard came to her.

The golden book and mirror trembled a few times, also turned into lights, and flew into her eyes.

When Yingbao got out of the cave, she found that her parents, younger brother and Wei Zhan were all there, with gloomy faces surrounding her.

“Baobao…” Chunniang, seeing her daughter covered in blood, was extremely anxious. She hurried over and hugged her, “Where are you hurt?”

Yingbao shook her head, and after looking around, noticed that Chen Tiantian was still sitting blankly in her original spot.

It turned out that the officials from the Ministry of Justice had tried to take Chen Tiantian away, but they were intercepted by the Jiang family and Wei Zhan, who insisted that she stay where she was and not move.

Seeing their stubbornness, the official from the Ministry of Justice had to return to the city to report first, leaving the Jiang family and Wei Zhan to keep watch there.

The disappearance of the County Lady was incredibly strange to the Ministry of Justice official, he needed to go back to the Imperial City to report this strange incident to the Emperor.

Upon seeing Yingbao, Chen Tiantian burst into laughter, “I told you… you are a curse… Not only are you a curse, but you’re also a demon, a man-eating ghost! Look at you, you just came out of the underworld, right? Hahaha…”

Yingbao squatted down, pinched her chin and said in a low voice, “Chen Tiantian, I have some good news for you. The statue you placed in this realm was smashed by me, and the things you stole from me have been reclaimed. You wanted to collect virtues with them to absolve your sins, but that’s probably not possible now. As for you… you can now die.”
