Chapter 104: Thoroughbred vs. Minivan, a Mountain Pursuit Battle

Xiao Rui spurred his horse, and gave chase as well.

The National Preceptor has a prophecy!

If he lets Xiao Moting return to Beijiang, he himself will die at his hands.

Therefore, he will spare no cost tonight; he must kill Xiao Moting.

The minivan drove across the hillside, bouncing violently!

There were no highways in ancient times, and the steep, uneven terrain made the minivan's progress difficult.

On the contrary, the Imperial Guard's warhorses held the advantage on this terrain, and they actually caught up very quickly!

Both sides launched a pursuit battle in the night!

As the distance closed, the Imperial Guards, riding on horseback, fired arrows one after another!

Rain-like arrows pierced the dark night, shooting toward the minivan's rear window!

Xiao Moting gave an order in a deep voice.

"Take the anti-riot shields!"

The Northern Frontier Army soldiers in the vehicle immediately used the anti-riot shields to block the shattered rear window!

Following a series of crisp metallic clangs, the Imperial Guard's iron arrows struck the anti-riot shields and fell away one after another.

After a round of arrow rain, the pursuing Imperial Guard reorganized their ranks, preparing for the next round of battle.

At this moment, Xiao Moting took the opportunity to give an order.

"Fire!"

The Northern Frontier Army soldiers, who had been prepared, leaned out of the windows one after another and fired Tungsten Steel Arrows at the pursuing Imperial Guard behind them!

The dozen or so Imperial Guards charging at the front were struck by arrows and fell from their horses.

Xiao Rui, riding on horseback, brandished his Long Sword, knocked away the incoming arrows, and shouted sternly.

"Fire again!"

Both sides traded blows, chasing and shooting arrows at each other in the night!

The hillside ahead was truly rugged.

Mountain roads were a disadvantage for the minivan; the vehicle had to slow down to avoid flipping over.

From behind came the roars of the Imperial Guard.

"Their Iron Vehicle has slowed down, chase them!"

Xiao Moting narrowed his eyes and looked toward the rear.

The ten thousand Imperial Guards behind were gradually closing in and were about to catch up!

Qin Zhan gripped the steering wheel, saw the massive cavalry army in the rearview mirror, and spoke urgently.

"Prince, the number of Imperial Guards is too great. If they catch up, our minivan won't be able to break through."

Xiao Moting asked in a deep voice.

"How much further to the Post Road?"

The surface of the Post Road was relatively flat.

Once the minivan reached the Post Road, it would be easy to shake off the pursuers.

"About five li left."

Xiao Moting's sword-like brows knitted tight; he had to block the Imperial Guard, otherwise they would be caught!

The Northern Frontier Army soldiers in the vehicle also wore grave expressions.

With over ten thousand Imperial Guard pursuers behind them, they had not brought enough weapons.

At this moment, the walkie-talkie rang.

It was an emergency report from the minivan in front.

"Prince, the Tungsten Steel Arrows in our few vehicles have run out; we have no arrows left to shoot!"

Xiao Moting ordered, "Use the anti-riot shields to block the windows, I will cover the rear!"

His minivan still had Tungsten Steel Arrows, but the quantity was not large either.

Currently, the pursuing Imperial Guard feared the power of the Tungsten Steel Arrows and dared not pursue with full force.

But as soon as the arrows were exhausted, the Imperial Guard would have no obstacles and would immediately catch up to surround the minivans.

Just then, writing suddenly appeared on the wardrobe.

"Hold them off, I will send weapons over immediately."

Bai Wei's words were like Adrenaline!

The anxious Northern Frontier Army soldiers in the vehicle were instantly invigorated!

Xiao Dabao said excitedly, "Great, Shennü Daren has come to save us again."

"The Goddess is truly a timely rain!"

"I, I want to build a temple for Shennü Daren!"

Xiao Moting's cold, stern gaze softened.

Bai Wei had always stood behind him, supporting him unwaveringly.

If one day he could fulfill his wish to unify the world, he would hand this empire over to her with both hands without hesitation!

……

In Qingshan Village.

Bai Wei was standing in the Farm courtyard, moving cardboard boxes off the Agricultural Tricycle one by one with Chen Ming.

The cardboard boxes had been moved from the distillery and were filled with empty wine bottles.

In the courtyard, several large barrels of gasoline were also placed.

This was what she had privately purchased from the owner of a vehicle dealership when she returned to the village.

Nearby, Li Bo's family of four and Zhang Shen's family of three were all sitting on small stools, sweating profusely as they poured gasoline into glass bottles.

The thick gasoline was poured into the glass bottles, and then a cotton cloth strip was stuffed into the mouth of each bottle.

Bai Wei finished moving the last cardboard box and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Li Bo, Zhang Shen, thank you for your hard work."

"What hard work?" Zhang Shen held a ladle in one hand and steadied a glass bottle with the other, her face beaming with smiles. "We should be thanking you instead. Ten yuan for filling a bottle of gasoline—such an easy job, please call us to do it more often in the future, we are willing to do it!"

"Exactly," Li Bo also worked with great enthusiasm. "This job is much better than spreading cement in the city!"

Bai Wei also smiled and nodded.

After she sent the silicone mask to Mo Ting, she felt uneasy about them, so she dripped blood onto the Jade Pendant and let her consciousness secretly travel to Daliang once.

This trip shocked her.

The Imperial Guard was engaging in a mountain pursuit battle with Mo Ting and his group!

There were no highways in ancient times, and it was still wilderness; the Minivan simply could not drive fast!

Seeing the Imperial Guard and the Northern Frontier Army shooting arrows at each other, the situation was critical, so Bai Wei immediately returned to the modern era to prepare weapons!

The time was too short, and she could not handle it alone, so she called Li Bo and Zhang Shen's families to the Farm, using the excuse that the Trade Company had received a batch of urgent orders, and asked them to help fill the gasoline into empty wine bottles and stuff them with cloth strips, saying the client needed them.

For every one filled, she would pay ten yuan in wages.

When Li Bo and Zhang Shen heard this, they were so happy they could not close their mouths!

There was actually such a good thing?

Just by filling a bottle of gasoline, they could get ten yuan!

This job was easy to do and could earn money!

Aside from here at Bai Wei's, it would be hard to find such a job even if one searched with a lantern.

Li Bo and Zhang Shen immediately brought their families and rushed to the Farm, fearing that if they were a second late, there would be no work left to do!

Seven or eight villagers were working together to pour the gasoline!

Soon, fifteen boxes were made.

Each box contained twenty bottles, for a total of three hundred bottles!

"Li Bo, you all continue," Bai Wei immediately arranged. "Chen Ming, help me move the bottles to the Recreational Vehicle! I will deliver a batch of goods first."

Chen Ming hurriedly picked up the cardboard boxes and moved them to the Recreational Vehicle.

Boom!

Bai Wei stepped on the gas, drove the Recreational Vehicle out of the Farm, circled around the village to the outskirts, then got out of the vehicle and began the Teleportation of the items.

She could not teleport the items in front of Li Bo and Zhang Shen.

……

"Prince, the Imperial Guard is about to catch up!"

Qin Zhan gripped the steering wheel tightly, catching a glimpse of the situation in the rearview mirror.

His expression was solemn, and he dared not be distracted in the slightest.

This was a slope; if he were not careful, the vehicle would flip over!

Xiao Moting raised his eyes and looked heavily toward the rear.

The pursuing Imperial Guard was getting closer and closer!

He could already hear the enemy's successive roars.

He was even close enough to see the expression on Xiao Rui's face—ferocious, bloodthirsty, and his eyes revealing a ruthlessness that vowed to kill him.

"Xiao Moting, tonight is your death day!"

A light cavalryman galloped rapidly from the rear and shouted at Xiao Rui.

"Second Prince, the National Preceptor has ordered you to shoot at their iron vehicle wheels!"

Xiao Moting felt a chill in his heart!

The National Preceptor actually knew the weakness of the Minivan!

The body of the Minivan was made of cold-rolled steel, which iron arrows could not pierce through.

But the tires were soft and hollow inside; if they were hit by iron arrows, they would burst, and the vehicle would not be able to run!
