Chapter 322: Chapter 309 I Choose the Third Option

At this moment, the carriage that had initially helped to increase her speed became somewhat burdensome.

As she saw the two horses rapidly catching up, she even spotted the heads of the opponent’s horses from the corner of her eye. Zhuang Qingning hardened her heart and tightened the reins in her hands.

“Huff…”

The horse neighed and stopped, causing the carriage to halt as well.

The galloping horses on both sides also stopped abruptly.

One man remained on his horse, his bow drawn tight, aimed directly at Zhuang Qingning sitting in the carriage.

The other man dismounted and, with a knife in his hand, walked straight towards Zhuang Qingning.

Under the moonlight, Zhuang Qingning could make out the man’s features.

Contrary to her expectation of a hulking brute, the man had a medium build and a round face, lacking any ferocity but instead exuding a simple-minded impression.

“So you’re the one who stole the carriage and injured my brothers?” The man scrutinized Zhuang Qingning incredulously and surprisedly.

Seeing this man’s demeanor, it seemed he was the leader of this gang.

“I reckon there is no one else here,” Zhuang Qingning blinked, and calmly replied.

“To have stripped the carriage from my brothers and injured two of them, I thought you must be some land of hero on a chivalrous mission. I didn’t expect you to be a frail little girl.”

Jiang Yu sneered, “Truly, the eagle’s eye has been pecked by the very bird it hunts. Went through all the storms unscathed, only to stumble upon a small girl like you.”

“But I am curious, why did you stop running?”

“The weapons in your hands can’t discriminate, if I were to run away in a panic, your knives and arrows could easily be fatal. So I thought it would be safer to put a stop to it and face you head-on.”

Zhuang Qingning raised her eyes, “It’s not hard to understand.”

You didn’t think of that, you do not seem too smart either.

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment before lifting his knife, “This little girl sure has a sharp tongue, not very likeable.”

“But I see you arc not a fool, I will give you two options. The first one is to get in the carriage nicely, bind yourself and wait to be traded for money. The second one is 1’11 chop you into pieces with this knife and throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves. Live or die, you can choose.”

“Stop talking, I choose the third option.”

Eliminate both of you, then run away. If possible, take away all people in the carriage.

Zhuang Qingning jumped down from the carriage without any change in her expression.

Jiang Yu was noticeably taken aback, then a playful smile appeared on his face, “This is interesting, I have been in this business for three or four years, it’s the first time I have met someone like you, I must entertain.”

“No need to be polite.” Zhuang Qingning revealed a short dagger in her hand, a trace of coldness flitted through her squinting eyes.

This weapon is known to be ‘an inch shorter leads to greater danger’. By all accounts, Zhuang Qingning’s short blade should not get close to him.

“You bitch, still so stubborn!” The opponent’s face twisted into mockery, he roared and swung his knife towards Zhuang Qingning’s face.

Zhuang Qingning did not dodge, instead, she raised her hand.

With a clinking sound, Jiang Yu’s wrist felt numb, he watched in disbelief as Zhuang Qingning’s hand was now holding a leather whip.

The whip seemed to be made of woven steel wires, it was very hard, a small spark could even be seen when the knife collided with it.

This girl, she was prepared all along, I underestimated her!

Jiang Yu’s heart sank, he quickly withdrew his knife and thrust it towards Zhuang Qingning’s waist.

Zhuang Qingning stepped back, and swung her whip to strike at Jiang Yu’s face.

The whip had looked ordinary to Jiang Yu, but upon close observation, it seemed more interlaced with hacksaw than steel wires. The steel wires had teeth, and if it struck someone’s body, it could tear off a large chunk of skin and flesh, rendering it an extremely dangerous weapon.

Moreover, the whip was quite long and when wielded properly, one couldn’t get close within three feet.

In this regard, Jiang Yu’s knife was embarrassingly short.

Just now, he was mocking Zhuang Qingning’s weapon, and now the joke was on him.

Jiang Yu’s heart filled with discontent, and he lunged at Zhuang Qingning even more fiercely.

Meanwhile, Zhuang Qingning was skillfully wielding the whip in her hand, pushing Jiang Yu back a few steps while feeling a pang of regret.

As the saying goes ‘no amount of skill is too much’, this was indeed the case.

The reason why Zhuang Qingning was adept at manipulating the whip right now was not due to her strength or agility attributes, but because she had practiced ribbon dance in her previous life.

Dancing with a ribbon could fill the sky, the whip worked like a charm in the same way. Coupled with her physical strength and agility, it made her appear as if she was exceedingly proficient.

After being pushed back once again by Zhuang Qingning, Jiang Yu was finally unable to contain his anger and shouted at the man on horseback, “Liu Er, are you bloody dead!”

Under these circumstances, he was left to fight alone and was under attack from all sides.

The idea that a fair fight displays honour while ganging up shows cowardice was absurd. They were now villains, villains in a ruthless business, and had long given up the pursuit of honor. What was the point in adhering to morals and ethics!

Hearing Jiang Yu’s shouting, Liu Er quickly nodded, pulled back his bow, and shot an arrow at Zhuang Qingning.

Against Jiang Yu alone, she could defend herself with her “ribbon dance.” But now there was an extra guy shooting arrows at her…

Zhuang Qingning felt a downward pull in her heart, quickly dodged to the side while Jiang Yu struck with his knife, forcing her to evade once again.

The rhythm had been disrupted, coupled with the relentless attacks from the two men, Zhuang Qingning could barely defend herself. She kept retreating until she had no room to retreat and found herself leaning against the carriage, panting.

“You were quite capable before, how come you’re not fighting now?” Jiang Yu spat, wiping his cheek with his hand.

His cheek was grazed by Zhuang Qingning’s whip earlier, the skin was broken and now it stung.

Zhuang Qingning didn’t speak, only leaning against the carriage, trying to steady her breath.

Xiaowu, Xiaowu, come out quickly, do you have any more powerful weapons, like a crossbow, or even a gun…

Pfft!

Zhuang Qingning felt like she might spit up a mouthful of old blood.

Four hours? By then, wouldn’t she already be a corpse?
