Chapter 172: Caught While Trying to Escape

The Flying General asked curiously, "Were those two beautiful ladies sent here to be my concubines? What a pity! We all thought they were military prostitutes sent by Young Master Mingyang. My soldiers had never seen such beauties before. They couldn't wait and took turns to have their way with them! It's a pity those two beauties couldn't withstand such treatment. I'm afraid they've already passed away."

Wei Dongling sneered inwardly. Bah! Shameless old fox! It was clearly you who were on guard against the Xiliang Prince. You personally strangled that beauty after having your fun! And here you are pretending.

Young Master Mingyang's face darkened, but he couldn't lose his temper. He just clasped his hands and said with a smile, "It's all my fault for not explaining clearly to the general. How about this! Tomorrow I'll send two more beautiful ladies to take good care of the general's daily life and give birth to children for the general as soon as possible, so as to carry on the family line."

Was he still not giving up? He really wanted to slip two of his own people in to monitor the general's every move?

The Flying General laughed heartily and said, "Young Master Mingyang needn't go to so much trouble. When I capture Hanzhong, I'll ask the young master for beautiful concubines!"

Young Master Mingyang could only smile faintly, lower his eyes and say, "That's good then. I'll go back and choose carefully. I'll be waiting for the general's great victory!"

"Easy to say!" The Flying General stood up to see the guest off.

Young Master Mingyang stood up, glanced at Wei Dongling, and bowed to the Flying General. "This young lady looks a bit familiar. Could the Flying General bestow her upon me?"

Wei Dongling was startled. What was this troublemaker up to? She still didn't know where Jingzhe was. She didn't want to go with him!

The Flying General neither refused nor opposed. He just smiled subtly and said, "Easy to say. After the great victory in Hanzhong, you can exchange for the beauty."

Young Master Mingyang was displeased, but he could only smile and agree. The two sly foxes exchanged some pleasantries and then left.

Seeing them leave, Wei Dongling couldn't help cursing silently in her heart. She picked up the iron hairpin that had fallen on the ground and inserted it back into her hair.

The Flying General didn't come back for a long time after going out. He was probably personally inspecting the rations for the Iron Cavalry.

A servant brought in a food box and then left. The two soldiers at the door were very dutiful. They stood guard outside the tent and didn't dare to leave for a moment.

Wei Dongling quietly opened the food box and was surprised to find mutton soup! Without saying a word, she sat down and gobbled up the mutton soup. Seeing that it was getting dark, should she eat something first and then make a move? Eating to half - full would give her the strength to escape with Jingzhe. While eating, Wei Dongling secretly hoped that the perverted general would come back later.

The sky gradually darkened. The two soldiers at the tent door didn't dare to slack off at all. Their general had given strict orders that the woman inside was extremely cunning. They had to keep an eye on her even when she went to the toilet. If they weren't careful, she would slip away.

This puzzled them a bit. This woman was a spy sent by the Xue Family Army. If the general was afraid she would run away, why didn't he just tie her legs up?

Maybe the wise and valiant Flying General had his own thoughts. Maybe he just liked this kind of chase - and - flee feeling.

It was pitch - black at night. The soldiers at the door didn't notice the approaching danger at all. Someone attacked them from behind. An iron hairpin shot out like lightning and pierced the neck of the left guard. The guard fell to the ground immediately. The one on the right was startled. He grabbed his silver spear and was about to stab at the attacking woman. But the woman tilted her head to dodge and then ran away.

"Stop!" The soldier who saw his comrade fall shouted loudly. This attracted team after team of patrolling Iron Cavalry. They all chased after Wei Dongling.

Wei Dongling was extremely fast. She shuttled back and forth between several tents. In no time, she had left the patrolling teams far behind. Her speed stunned all the pursuers.

Where on earth was Jingzhe locked up?

Wei Dongling didn't know where to start looking. She couldn't help feeling a bit panicked. She didn't dare to slack off at all. She ran towards the nearby stream.

"Stop!" A patrolling team nearby spotted her and quickly chased after her. The shouts alerted others. Immediately, many patrolling soldiers surrounded her from all directions.

Wei Dongling didn't dare to look back. She ran as fast as she could on tiptoe. Suddenly, a person rushed out in front of her. He was extremely fast and blocked her way.

It was the Ghost - faced Flying General! Wei Dongling's face darkened. Seeing that she was about to run into him, she quickly turned and ran in another direction.

The Flying General sneered. He quickly whipped out his whip and gently hooked it. The blood - red whip wrapped around Wei Dongling's foot as soon as it was thrown out, and then threw her to the ground.

Wei Dongling opened her palm and looked at the large piece of skin that had been rubbed off with a bitter face. She couldn't help cursing silently in her heart.

The Flying General was holding the whip and walked towards Wei Dongling step by step. He growled, "You really want your comrade to die earlier! Someone! Bring out that spy we captured today and beat him severely!"

Wei Dongling trembled all over. She crawled forward and grabbed the Flying General's foot. She cried and pleaded, "I know I was wrong! Please, general, don't beat him! I really know I was wrong!"

The Flying General squatted down. His rough big hand tightly grasped Wei Dongling's chin. He sneered and said, "Beg me! Beg me to love you one more time, and I'll spare him!"

The ghostly face in front of her was hideous and terrifying. Wei Dongling's face was as pale as a sheet. She trembled all over. How could she say such a thing? It would be better for her to die!

Wei Dongling looked back at the stream not far away. Suddenly, she waved her hand and pushed away the Flying General's hand that was grasping her chin. She gritted her teeth and turned to run towards the stream.

"Damn it! Come back here!" The Flying General reached out to grab her, but missed. A man rushed out of the woods and protected Wei Dongling behind him.

The man had handsome features and exuded an otherworldly and spotless aura. His back was straight. He wasn't afraid of the dense Iron Cavalry in front of him at all. He firmly protected Wei Dongling behind him.

It was Shangguan Yun! When Wei Dongling saw him, her tears were about to fall.

"Who are you?" The Flying General glanced at him, stood with his hands behind his back, and his tone was extremely cold.

Shangguan Yun said coldly, "Is it the act of a great man to make things difficult for a little woman? If you want to fight, have a good fight with me!"

The Flying General laughed. The ghostly face on his face looked hideous and terrifying. He asked hoarsely, "What's your relationship with her? Why should I fight you?"

Shangguan Yun didn't answer. There was a sneering smile on his lips. He asked loudly, "What? Is the general afraid?"

The Flying General scoffed and said, "You're so arrogant, boy! You're no match for me. Don't humiliate yourself."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Shangguan Yun didn't waste any more words with him. He grabbed his sword and flew forward to fight with the Flying General.

Wei Dongling watched from the side. She couldn't help feeling extremely anxious.

Shangguan Yun's swordsmanship was domineering. Every move was a killing move. The tip of his sword pointed directly at the Flying General's vital parts.

The Flying General just stood still and dodged gently. With minimal effort, he easily dodged Shangguan Yun's sword. This made the onlookers cheer.
