Most Troubling Specialty Soldiers
She had been attacked without any warning signs, yet Feng Yu Heng believed that she had already been very cautious. Upon entering the mountain pass, she had already begun paying attention to the small movements all around, especially after the peasant family had mentioned the bandits. But she did not notice anything that seemed off. But now, an enemy attack had suddenly come, and it had come ferociously, nearly catching her out. This meant that the enemy had come prepared, and they were experts among experts.
“Everyone, be careful! Those that don’t know martial arts, get inside the carriages!” She shouted then pulled out her whip and swung it at a person that was rushing over in black clothes. With a crack, the whip came up empty, but the opposition had retreated numerous steps and could not gain and advantage.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan pulled out their personal weapons, and the hidden guards also began to form a protective circle around her. She, however, did not like this fighting method. She was not weak, and she was not accustomed to being protected. This sort of method would affect her ability to fight. Ban Zou understood her. Upon seeing that his master revealed a look of annoyance, he quickly called for the hidden guards to move aside to ensure that she could enjoy the thrill of killing. Another hidden guard picked up Xiang Rong and the maidservant, Shan Cha, then quickly threw them into that peasant family’s yard.
Xiang Rong knew that the situation was too serious and that she would be a burden if she stayed, thus she quickly brought Shan Cha into a hiding place in the yard. Fortunately, the group of people in black clothes that had suddenly appeared were only targeting Feng Yu Heng. There were roughly ten people, and they were all holding longswords. They worked as one to attack Feng Yu Heng while ignoring all of the others.
The hidden guards saw this and understood the situation, going forth to deal with the enemy. Feng Yu Heng did not have an easy fight. Although her hidden guards and two maidservants fought back attacks as they came, the desperate manner in which those people fought was very troubling. There were a total of 14 people that had her as their target. Their gazes were cold, as they were willing to trade life for life. They did not care if their bodies had already been riddled with holes by the hidden guards. Their sword techniques were very fierce, and they were extremely fast. It was as though they were robots. They did not care about pain and they did not care about surviving. As long as they could take her life, it was fine.
The whip in Feng Yu Heng’s hand created a strong gust of wind. She had not exercised her body for too long, and she felt that if she did not exercise soon, she would have begun growing rusty. This sort of joyous and carefree fight was something that she had not experienced for a long time. Feng Yu Heng suddenly felt a bit thankful for these people in black. She had once again found the feeling of being in the ancient world. Otherwise, a peaceful life where she only mouthed off would cause her to feel disoriented and leave her feeling uncertain about where she was.
“Who are you people?” During the fight, Huang Quan did not forget to communicate with the opposition. Unfortunately, they did not respond.
Feng Yu Heng advised her: “Don’t ask. It’s clear that it’s a group of specialty soldiers*. It’s too difficult to get anything out of them, but…” She squinted her eyes and suddenly used her internal strength. Facing a person in black clothes that had almost reached her, she turned the snake-like whip into something like a sword and stabbed toward that person’s throat. That person dodged and managed to avoid the danger, but the whip that had become a “sharp sword” still pierced through his chest. At the same time, Feng Yu Heng continued her unfinished sentence: “But is there any need to ask who these people are? Eighth brother really is polite. Fearing that this imperial daughter would be bored on my journey, he specially sent so many brothers to spar with this imperial daughter. Don’t worry, this imperial daughter will accept all of eighth brother’s concern. I will also remember to leave one alive to pass along my message of thanks to eighth brother.” After she said this, the “long sword” in her hand rotated, opening up the bloody hole in that person’s flesh. The hole reached his heart, and that person let out a dull groan before falling to the ground, dead.
This was the first person that Feng Yu Heng had killed that night. Once the killing began, she could not stop. It was as though the whip in her hand had grown eyes, as every time she lashed out, it would hit a target. There was even a time when it took off the arm of a person in black.
For a girl to fight in such a bloody manner, even the specialty soldiers could not help but feel a bit shocked. They were not afraid of death, and they had prepared themselves to die long ago. It could be said that before they came to carry out this task, they did not even think that they could return alive, and they did not have any hopes that Imperial Daughter Ji An would die during this battle. But even if they were prepared, they did not think that Imperial Daughter Ji An’s strength would be so ferocious. This sort of fighting style that even men could not do left them feeling extremely nauseous.
But Feng Yu Heng continued her rampage, continuing to whip people, again and again, taking life after life. But in the end, she was not a machine. There would come a time when she became tired. Also, with so many people surrounding and attacking her, even with help, it was very tiring.
When it came to fighting, Feng Yu Heng disdained forcefully fighting directly the most. She could not do something like trading life for life. At the very beginning, it was very fulfilling, and there was quite a bit of rage in the middle, but by the end, she had become tired and simply began to cheat. Pulling out a small handgun from her space, she attached a silencer and used her sleeve to hide it. Flicking her wrist, it was as though she was shooting some sort of hidden weapon.
The people in black clothes tried to dodge in the way that one would dodge hidden weapons, but no matter how fast the hidden weapons of the ancient people were, they could not be faster than guns. The people gradually began to find out in horror that each time Imperial Daughter Ji An raised her hand, a bloody hole would appear in a person. Also, each hole appeared in a fatal location. They appeared in the chest, the forehead and other parts of the head. Each bloody hole took a person’s life, and very quickly, only a single person in black remained.
At this time, Feng Yu Heng stopped shooting and rolled before landing steadily on the ground. She was breathing a little heavily and simply went to sit in her own carriage. While fanning herself with her hand, she ordered Huang Quan: “Quickly pour me some tea. I’m so tired.” The sight made it look as though she had just been playing around. There was not the slightest nervousness of fighting with her life on the line. Even the hidden guards that were accompanying her had to admire it. To be able to follow this sort of master, although she was a girl, it was even more fulfilling than following a man. “Hey!” She raised her hand and pointed at the only remaining person in black clothes. Just this movement caused that person to tremble with fear and subconsciously take a couple steps back; however, they found that she was just speaking to him and was just casually gesturing. It did not have any other meaning.
He settled down and stared at Feng Yu Heng but did not speak.
Feng Yu Heng helplessly shook her head, “You specialty soldiers really are the most troubling. You’re really even more boring than my hidden guards. Did His Highness the eighth prince adjust you too much? It’s such that you don’t even know how to speak? This is no good. There isn’t any master that truly likes boring people. Being able to speak with them is what is most likable.”
All of the hidden guards that heard this facepalmed and wiped their brow. Could it be that they will also need to learn how to chat with their master? There was no need to lie like this! A hidden guard that chatted with others, what sort of thing would that be?
The person in black still did not speak but did not move to refute it when Feng Yu Heng spoke of His Highness the eighth prince in this way. He knew that this could not be hidden. If Imperial Daughter Ji An could not even guess who it was that ordered this, this girl would not have been so mysterious.
“Forget it, forget it.” Feng Yu Heng waved her hand and lost interest, “I will not trouble you. If you don’t like speaking, just don’t speak! I will let you go back, but it will be for no other reason than to bring a message to eighth brother. Just say that I am very thankful for his hospitable treatment. Sending so many lives as a sentiment, this imperial daughter has remembered it and will definitely repay the favor. Go ahead, even if you want to die, you need to wait until you deliver this imperial daughter’s message. You must not give up along the way and kill yourself! Men are strong and must not commit suicide. Also, I will tell you that people that commit suicide cannot be reincarnated. Falling into the 18 levels of hell is quite unfortunate. You will be fried in oil, rolled over a board of nails, be boiled in water, be steamed, be…”
“Stop talking!” Finally, someone could no longer bear to listen. The only one that would dare to speak up like this would be Ban Zou and nobody else. He rolled his eyes and finished the latter half of Feng Yu Heng’s comment for her: “In summary, you are being allowed to live. At the very least, live until you see His Highness the eighth prince and bring him our message. Only then can your life end, understand?” After asking, he did not wait for the opposition to reply before raising his foot and kicking that person’s butt, “Quickly leave!”
The person in black turned around and glanced at this group of people. There was a feeling that it was as if this was a dream. He quickly left and very quickly blended in with the night; however, nobody knew that Feng Yu Heng had already left a feeling of horror that was difficult to erase from that person’s mind.
“Take a look and see if there are any injured.” Seeing the person in black leave, Feng Yu Heng leaped down from the carriage and wiped away some sweat from her brow, feeling a bit irritated. She would definitely need to find a moment to enter her space, take a bath then change her clothes. She was currently soaked in sweat, and it felt very sticky and extremely uncomfortable.
Knowing that the people outside had been taken care of, the people that had hidden inside the carriages quickly came out and expressed that they were fine. It was just that one carriage had been struck and required repairs. The hidden guards quickly tidied up the battlefield, dragging the corpses and their body parts into the mountains. For the sake of not causing any negative effect on the citizens and bandits living in the area, Feng Yu Heng ordered the corpses be buried.
Not long later, the peasants heard that there was not much movement coming from the outside, and they all came out. The bolder ones took a few steps in their direction. Seeing that there was still blood on the ground that had not yet been cleaned up, they ran back inside in fear. The people came quickly and dispersed quickly. In the blink of an eye, all that remained were the old woman and the young woman.
The old woman said with a great amount of worry: “It must have been the bandits that came down. Fortunately, you all knew martial arts and did not allow them to profit.” She looked at the blood on the ground and trembled slightly, “But you have killed people. There shouldn’t be any retribution, right?”
The young woman also sighed and said to the old woman: “Mother, let’s not worry about the matter of retribution for now. Just let this young miss go inside to get changed.” She then said to Feng Yu Heng: “There isn’t any food to eat, but there is still some firewood. I will go and boil some water for you to get washed.” After saying this, she looked at the others and said with a bit of a troubled expression: “Young Miss also saw it. There are only females here, and it’s not convenient to allow men inside.”
Feng Yu Heng nodded and understood this reasoning, saying with gratitude: “Letting me and the two servants in to get washed is enough.” She went to check on Xiang Rong. Seeing that Xiang Rong was fine, she told her to wait in the carriage then arranged for the hidden guards to take care of her. Only then did she bring Wang Chuan and Huang Quan into the crudely-made room.
