Chapter 128: Mother, save Yue Yue

Blazing Flame, it's up to you.

Jiang Yun Chu stroked its head, then controlled the direction and hurried back to the previous teahouse.

"Miss, are you looking for someone?" At that moment, a waiter-like person approached.

"Who is in the Heaven Stem Five private room?" Jiang Yun Chu asked coldly.

"That room? No one has booked it today!" the waiter said, puzzled.

Moreover, this person is not the same as the one who previously brought them upstairs!

Well...

What is the connection between the previous waiter and Yin Ling?

"Really?"

Jiang Yun Chu went straight up to the second floor, the waiter following behind her, "Miss, that room has already been booked out; no one has come today, how could anyone be there?"

But...

When Jiang Yun Chu kicked open the private room, she saw a scene of chaos inside.

The several children of the Kang clan clung together in panic.

Kang Zhi Chun trembled all over, yet still shielded her younger siblings behind her.

"Dean!"

"Sister."

Upon seeing Jiang Yun Chu's figure, the several children wailed and burst into tears.

"It's all right, where is your mother?" Jiang Yun Chu looked at Kang Zhi Chun.

"Mother went to save Ning Hanmo and Yue Yue; you've been gone a quarter hour, and outside, the performers and many people from the painted barge rushed in through the window and directly took Ning Hanmo and Yue Yue." Although Kang Zhi Chun was afraid, she spoke clearly, her body trembling; Jiang Yun Chu took her hand and gently squeezed.

"Mother was outnumbered and they found an opportunity."

"Zhi Chun, the people from the Wang Fu will come soon; guard your younger siblings well." Jiang Yun Chu said solemnly.

"Second Aunt is just one person; over there there are so many people, outnumbered."

She was full of worry, yet she forced herself to stay calm.

"Dean, you go; I can handle it." Kang Zhi Chun nodded, her face composed.

Kang Zhiqiu cried, Kang Nai Xin cried, Kang Wen cried.

The other children all stared at her persistently.

"Sister, you must rescue them; from now on I won't cause trouble anymore." Kang Zhi Xia shouted.

The waiter's calves cramped up; these are people from the Kang clan.

They call her 'sister'; is this woman also from the Kang clan?

"You stay here and watch; if any of these children come to harm, I will hold you responsible." Jiang Yun Chu gave a fierce stare.

The shop waiter hurriedly nodded; he dared not take a step, leaning against the wall behind him to steady himself.

On the way back to the Wang Fu, he had already sent the steward to bring people.

Since those people didn't harm these children, their target must be the Regent Prince's Manor; the safety of these children should be fine.

"Shh."

A clear, piercing whistle rang out at the window.

The "da-da-da" of horse hooves came galloping from not far away.

Jiang Yun Chu leapt straight out the window; Blazing Flame sprang up from below and caught her in midair.

Bei Cheng!

While speaking with Kang Zhi Chun, she lightly wrote two characters in her palm.

Jiang Yun Chu had no hesitation; at this moment she could only trust Second Aunt's judgment.

One hand gripped a blood‑stained dagger, the other held the reins; the wind tossed her long hair, and her lake‑blue robe shimmered with rippling arcs in the night.

Like the ripples of green water, layer upon layer upon layer.

"Kill."

Seeing the two people blocking the horse, Jiang Yun Chu's dagger flashed out; she flung herself sideways, Blazing Flame leapt up to meet her, and a person in costume had his throat slit.

Meanwhile, the person in black costume had Jiang Yun Chu's dagger fly from her hand straight into the man's brow.

"How... could this happen!"

The man hadn't finished speaking when he already breathed his last.

Jiang Yun Chu clamped her legs around the horse's belly, her upper body tilted to one side, she drew her dagger; warm blood spurted onto her hand, and the lake‑blue sleeve of her robe gradually turned red, leaving plum‑blossom patterns.

Bei Cheng!

It seems we took the right road; otherwise we wouldn't be ambushing people here.

Blazing Flame left trails of dust in the pitch‑black night, leaping high as if flying.

"Blazing Flame, if the children are safe, I will surely reward you with the finest fodder."

If...

The children are not safe.

Then she is willing to use her body as a blade and fight those people to the death.

After running a full thirty li, Jiang Yun Chu saw a figure: "Second Aunt."

Jiang Fengsheng rode his horse over from afar, her face full of apology as she said to Jiang Yun Chu, "I have betrayed your trust."

"Mother, save Yue Yue." Ning Hanmo shouted loudly.

His forehead had been struck, and now a trail of blood flowed down, possibly wiped by him, smudging his face.

It looks extremely terrifying.

Second aunt, thank you. Ning Hanmo, take back to the Kang Clan.

As for the Wang Fu, I'm not at ease.

Jiang Yun Chu finished her explanation, no longer looking at the child's blood-covered face; she still has another child who is not yet safe.

Go!

With an angry shout, Blazing Flame bolted out, its fur blazing like fire in the deep night.

Jiang Fengsheng watched her back, then tugged the reins, also shouting 'Go!'

Jiang Yun Chu followed the markers given by the dark guards, walking on, but when she reached a certain place, the marker ended.

Either the dark guards are no longer safe, or they have already arrived nearby.

Just then.

"Heh, Jiang Yun Chu, you dare to come after me yourself—quite bold." A man pulled a black cloth over his face.

"No need to look for them; those two little dark guards already have the playmates they need."

Jiang Yun Chu narrowed her eyes, "You took my child!"

"It's me."

The man glanced at her with interest.

She clamped her legs around the horse's belly, and with Blazing Flame's surge, she sprang onto its back.

Then from her wide sleeve, a short blade stabbed out mercilessly.

"Interesting." The man dismounted and leapt down.

The long sword blocked her short blade, but Jiang Yun Chu swiftly shifted her stance and kicked out with her toes.

As he tried to catch that move, she shifted her technique in midair, leaping up with both feet.

He quickly raised his arms to block her attack, but misjudged her strength and stepped back three steps.

Hard to handle.

This was Jiang Yun Chu's first thought.

If she relied solely on her past life's military body fist and skill with cold weapons, she would definitely lose.

But even so, blood already trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"You've actually grown up," the man said coldly.

Jiang Yun Chu heard his words and instantly lifted her head.

Grown up?

They were talking about her!

Is this aimed at the Regent Prince's Manor, or at her?

No matter the doubts, anyone who stops her from saving Yue Yue deserves to die.

Jiang Yun Chu charged forward again; as she thrust her short blade, a sudden flash of light appeared.
