Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 317: Slaughter and Abduction

East Suburb of Shengjing City, near the southeast direction, a team of people and horses slowly approached on the shaded official road.

The carriage was very exquisite, made with fine purple silk, and on the top, tassels of colorful gemstones were hung, sparkling brightly under the sunshine.

The weather was still a bit warm, and the curtain of the carriage was slightly gathered to the sides, letting down a bejeweled curtain that jingled as the carriage moved.

Inside the carriage sat a young girl dressed in glamorous clothes, appearing to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was veiled, her graceful beauty could be faintly seen, with long black hair shining like silk, eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes like stars; truly a remarkable person.

Inside the carriage, there was also a maid, veiled like the girl, but her attire indicated that she was there to serve. She noticed the girl slightly furrow her brows and promptly poured a cup of cool tea, handing it over.

"Princess, have some tea to quench your thirst." She glanced outside the window, feeling the refreshing breeze, "We are about to enter Shengjing City, and once there, the courier station will certainly be much better than the carriage."

"Hmm."

The girl gently responded, unveiling a corner of her veil and taking a sip of tea.

The cool tea eased the heat.

Beside the carriage was a squad of cavalry, among them were officials from the Da Liang Envoy, totaling eleven people.

One of them glanced up at the still fierce sun, asked, "Princess, would you like to stop and rest for a while?"

The princess inside the carriage had long felt tired, so she gently nodded, and the traveling companions said, "Stop the carriage, rest here!"

The forest here was dense, just the perfect place to rest, so the Da Liang Envoy dismounted to rest on the spot.

"Hya, hya!"

Suddenly, several horses appeared ahead, immediately alerting the Da Liang people who had just settled down.

"Who are you?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Be careful of deceit, protect the princess!"

The Da Liang people were extremely perceptive, promptly drawing swords and shielding the carriage.

"We are here under His Majesty the Emperor’s decree, to welcome the Da Liang Princess!"

The leading man pulled out a golden-edged imperial decree from his chest, raised it above, and shouted loudly.

"Is it the Emperor’s decree?"

The Da Liang cavalry looked at each other in disbelief.

They were still far from the Imperial City, it was too hospitable for the Emperor to send people to welcome them from afar, feeling somewhat unreal.

The Emperor of Dazhou was known to be reserved and self-respecting, even for a messenger, usually only sent a eunuch to welcome them; a personal decree? Could it be because of Princess Nianxi?

Thinking this, the cavalry felt a bit at ease.

"Protect the princess, we’ll go up and take a look!"

This group of Da Liang people were indeed vigilant; even though the other party presented the decree, they still wanted to be cautious.

"His Majesty is considerate of the princess’s noble status and her long journey, so he had us arrive ahead to welcome. This is the decree, which can be verified."

The man holding the decree slightly nodded, showing some pomp.

The Da Liang knight felt favorable towards their straightforwardness, and was just about to receive it.

At this moment, the opposing man suddenly attacked, swiftly drawing his sword and slashing horizontally.

"Puff!"

A severed arm flew into the sky, accompanied by a spray of blood and the knight’s piercing scream.

"Beware of deception, protect the princess!"

The knight’s wrist was cut off completely but despite the excruciating pain, shouted loudly to protect the princess.

How could others watch their comrade being killed? They immediately drew their long knives and charged.

To them, only six Zhou people came from the other side, they had more than twenty cavalry guards here, they thought they could definitely win.

But, things often have unexpected twists.

The woods rustled, and shadows darted back and forth.

"Oh no, there’s an ambush!"

One envoy’s face changed drastically, sensing danger.

"Princess, you all escort the princess quickly away, we’ll fight with them!"

The accompanying general was very brave, seeing the enemies in the woods, he made a decision without hesitation.

Protecting the princess to leave was crucial!

Others agreed, the Da Liang people split into two groups, six people escorting Princess Nianxi and her maid, while the rest engaged the enemies in combat.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Countless arrows shot out from the woods, hitting every cavalryman, showing the opponents were sharpshooters!

Then, a row of crossbows could be seen pointing at them.

"Princess, what do we do? We’re surrounded!"

The maid nervously watched as dozens of black-clad men emerged from the woods, so tense that she started crying.

"No crying! Even if there’s something, they are here for me!"

Though Princess Nianxi was very anxious and frightened inside, she remained calm on the surface, knowing she must stay composed, panicking would only make things worse.

"Puff!"

"Clang!"

"Ugh!"

The woods were filled with the smell of blood and screams, Princess Nianxi saw her men diminishing, painfully closing her eyes.

Then, she dashed out.

The people beside her hadn’t expected the princess to break out of the protective circle; they didn’t react in time, so they didn’t stop her.

"Is your target me? I’ll go with you, let them go!"

Princess Nianxi sternly shouted, trying to appear authoritative and domineering.

But her delicate voice made it hard to convey such an aura.

The man who previously held the decree sneered, saying, "You are indeed our target, but these people must die!"

"Stop, if you continue killing, I’ll die right in front of you!"

Princess Nianci suddenly pulled out a small dagger, pressing it against her fair neck as a threat.

There was a moment of silence from the other side, before saying, "Your life or death doesn’t concern us!"

"You..."

Princess Nianxi glared wide-eyed at him.

The man on the opposite side wore an iron mask, his real face unclear.

But his eyes were firm, cold, and ruthless!

Princess Nianxi’s heart turned cold, knowing the truth in his words, her life meant nothing in their eyes.

"I get it, you intend to kill us to instigate a diplomatic conflict between two countries?"

The opponent paused, then laughed heartily.

"Well done Da Liang Princess! Truly insightful! No wonder the respectable princesses didn’t come, but you did!"

Princess Nianci clenched her teeth, saying nothing.

The man suddenly waved his hand: "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

"Stop, stop!"

Knowing she’s faced with certain death, Princess Nianxi didn’t commit suicide, instead, she lunged forward and started fighting with them.

This princess surprisingly knew martial arts, and quite skilled too, but being a woman against numerous foes, she soon fell behind.

One black-clad man struck her from behind, Princess Nianxi grunted, then fainted.

"Princess, Princess!"

"Stop! You Zhou people are insane, doing this will incur Emperor Liang’s wrath! Hostility between the countries will escalate, wars will break out, the people will suffer! Ugh..."

The general had killed more than ten black-clad men but was finally overpowered from behind, eventually succumbing to a brutal death.

Yet before dying, he shouted thus.

However, the iron-masked man on horseback remained indifferent, quietly watching this group of Da Liang envoys being slaughtered completely!

"Lord, what should be done with this girl?"

A black-clad man stepped forward, asking the man.

The man glanced indifferently at the girl lying in the pool of blood, frowned and said, "Take her away, she’s still useful! Also, clean this place, don’t let anyone find any trace!"

"Yes!"
