She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 215: How Could We Meet Again at This Moment

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: How Could We Meet Again at This Moment

She first pulled up her sleeves, revealing the crossbow she had prepared earlier.

Only, Xiang Ying had modified the mechanism of the crossbow.

Now, a small needle inserted on top was smeared with sedatives.

Perhaps because the bandit Master was hosting a banquet tonight, only one guard was left on the gate at this evening hour.

Xiang Ying stealthily approached the gate, using the corner for cover, and aimed her crossbow at the guard above.

Seizing the opportunity, she fired with a whoosh sound.

The silver needle precisely penetrated the back of the guard’s ear, causing him to rub his neck in pain. Before he could react, he lost consciousness and fell down.

Xiang Ying took this chance to climb in and dragged him behind a pile of stones to hide.

As the skies gradually darkened, Xiang Ying, utilizing her knowledge of the terrain explored during the day, circumvented the roaming bandits and headed straight for Princess Xining’s room.

At this moment, there were still four people guarding outside.

Xiang Ying hid in the shadows, maneuvering a drone to take them down one by one.

She then moved forward and deftly tied these four men to a big tree in the courtyard. freewebnoveℓ.com

Afterward, Xiang Ying ran to the door and used Pei Qinglin’s sharp long sword to directly chop open the door lock.

Just as she slightly pushed the door open, suddenly several small black shadows, like fierce hidden weapons, accompanied by a whistling sound, flew towards her face.

Xiang Ying’s eyes suddenly narrowed as she swiftly dodged to the side.

Those black points brushed her hair as they flew past, hitting the tree trunk behind her with a cracking noise, embedding deeply into it.

Xiang Ying furrowed her brows to inspect, only to discover they were actually fruit pits.

A voice from inside the room, Princess Xining’s voice, full of sharp oppression, called out.

"If you want to die, come in and try!"

Xiang Ying paused, then spoke in a low voice: "Princess Xining, General Pei sent me here."

The angry panting from inside abruptly stopped.

After revealing her identity and even passing Pei Qinglin’s sword inside,

Princess Xining finally let down her guard a bit.

"Come in quickly!" she urged.

Xiang Ying stepped inside, the room was unlit and dim, with debris scattered all over the floor.

The faint light coming through the window outlined the figure standing in the corner—it was Princess Xining.

Her face was oval-shaped, her eyes like cold stars, appearing very aloof when not smiling.

She saw Xiang Ying, slightly frowned, and eyed her up and down.

"Only you? Where is Pei Qinglin?"

"General Pei has already surrounded the bandit village with men; sadly, with fewer troops against many thieves, no strong attack has commenced. I came in to scout the terrain and to also inform Princess Xining of this good news."

As Xiang Ying finished, the sound of many footsteps came from outside.

She quickly peeked through the door crack.

A dozen or so bandits arrived, holding torches and shouting, "Time to lift Miss onto the palanquin!"

They spoke indecently and laughed loudly.

But they quickly noticed the four guards tied up by Xiang Ying on the tree, turning alarmed and angry.

"Damn it, who did this?"

"Did the Princess escape? She knows some martial arts."

"Damn, look, the door lock has been picked too."

Without any hesitation, Xiang Ying picked up a table and barricaded the door with it.

She turned to Princess Xining and said, "Princess, you hide in the cabinet first, I’ll wear your dress to lead them away."

Princess Xining instead picked up her dress, revealing a chain on her ankle.

"If you can chop open a lock, you must have a way to unlock this. Help me unlock it, and lend me Pei Qinglin’s sword so I can fight my way out."

Xiang Ying was taken aback, having not anticipated this request.

She hesitated for a moment: "Can the Princess use a sword?"

Princess Xining raised her pale face: "Anyway, I’m better than those rabble outside."

If it weren’t for being ambushed, she wouldn’t have been captured by these people.

Xiang Ying thought for a moment, then tossed Pei Qinglin’s sword to her.

The bandits were already furiously banging on the door outside.

"Open the door! Princess Xining, you can’t escape! These are vast mountains; let’s see how you can get out!"

They yelled at the door, repeatedly striking it, the table was about to fly off.

At this moment, they heard the sound of something breaking from the window behind them.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a figure clad in a purple dress and wearing a golden tassel, swiftly flipping out of the window and running off, using both hands and feet, skillfully climbing over the wall.

The bandits shouted loudly, "No good, Princess Xining has broken free from the iron chains and is escaping, chase after her!"

By the time they all started chasing, the door was pushed open a gap, and the real Princess Xining looked around before stepping out with a sword in hand.

She initially wanted to break out directly, but the person just now still needed to lead the bandits in the courtyard away first.

The two had agreed to meet up in the front courtyard.

Xiang Ying led the hill bandits to a secluded and deserted courtyard and suddenly stopped, drew a long sword from her sleeve, and turned around.

The pursuing bandits were stunned.

"Who are you?"

"I am the lady who’s here to take your lives."

Xiang Ying advanced with her sword, killing them in a thrilling manner.

After dealing with these people, just as she was about to meet up with Princess Xining, she suddenly heard a booming sound, and the ground trembled.

Xiang Ying, with astonishment, furrowed her brows: "Is it explosives?"

Could it be that the gunpowder she had prepared in advance had been ignited by someone?

There was a continual crackling sound.

Xiang Ying gritted her teeth, damn, she hadn’t yet cleared this place clean, what if Pei Qinglin mistook it for a signal and charged in?

She hastily carried her sword and hurried to find Princess Xining.

At this moment, on the hillside outside the bandit village, one after another flaming arrow, with comet-like tails, arched through the air and struck right into the bandit village!

Only after a dozen fire arrows were shot did Jie Chen coldly say, "Move, storm in."

The bandit village was in total chaos now.

Fire and cries of agony were everywhere, and those bandits had already abandoned the idea of capturing Princess Xining and were fleeing for their lives.

Xiang Ying, despite the blazing flames, searched everywhere: "Princess Xining!"

She arrived at the agreed meeting spot but saw no sign of Xining.

Xiang Ying frowned and could only turn around to thoroughly loot the granaries and treasure vault.

Along the way, she discovered the explosives she had buried in the corners had all been mysteriously ignited by incoming fire arrows.

Who could it be, choosing the same day as her to make a move?

After Xiang Ying had raided the granaries, upon reaching the treasury, she unexpectedly encountered the short and plump Master.

The Master was holding a pile of treasures, apparently ready to escape.

"Who are you?" he asked in shock.

Xiang Ying pointed her sword tip at the treasures in his arms: "Put down my things."

The Master’s eyes widened, "How are these yours? I looted all of these."

Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes were cold: "I’ve taken a liking to them, so they’re mine now."

With that, she leapt forth directly.

Jie Chen had already brought people to the courtyard of the treasury.

Acid Scholar, following beside him, whispered, "Master, listen, there are screams coming from inside."

Skinny Monkey frowned, "The bandit we just caught said that Princess Xining was brought here, could it be her being..."

Jie Chen’s expression darkened.

By relationship, Xining was his sister.

If she really was violated, he couldn’t just stand by, especially since he hated others violating women.

"Drag the person out." Following Jie Chen’s order, Skinny Monkey and Acid Scholar led people up.

However, just as they reached the doorway, someone stumbled out.

Skinny Monkey reached out and grabbed him. Under the illumination of the torch, though bruised and swollen, the individual was dressed unmistakably like a bandit.

"Murder, murder!" the Master screamed tragically.

As the wind moved inside the door, a slender, purple figure suddenly leapt out, holding a long sword high above her head, poised to strike.

Everyone stared wide-eyed; Skinny Monkey sucked in a breath of cold air, tilting his head to watch the celestial-like figure flying overhead.

"Sister-in-law...?"

Xiang Ying’s dark phoenix eyes were initially filled with resolute murderous intent.

Because this little fat man was unwilling to hand over the gold brick in his embrace.

She had intended to kill him, but as she flew out, she glanced down and saw Jie Chen standing in the courtyard.

Their eyes met, his thin pupils gradually widening as her face turned pale.

How come they’ve met here again?
