Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1322 - 983: The Trap Is Set—What Fear of Those Who Come?
The person approaching was none other than Borjigin Nian!
Shuang Jiang was ordered to seek reinforcements, and Borjigin Nian naturally agreed. But when the appointed time came, she did not see Yue Xilou escorting Gu Taitian and Xiao Gu Ze arrive at Linyuan City. Borjigin Nian was anxiously waiting, finally unable to sit still. Even at the risk of alerting Northern Mongolian, she couldn’t care anymore. She could only lead the Dark Night Army to welcome them, to prevent any mishaps!
Sure enough, her guess was right!
As soon as she left the city, she sensed the aura of masters fighting outside the city, and hurriedly rushed over. The scene she witnessed upon arrival was even more shocking!
She saw Yue Xilou’s chest covered with blood, engaged in a fierce battle with a person in black in mid-air!
How could she not be furious?
"Miss, coming is the only princess of Northern Mongolian, Borjigin Nian!" He Miao glanced at the woman flying horizontally towards the Secluded Valley, and solemnly spoke to her own Miss, "Behind her is a squad of Dark Night Army, Miss, should we stop her?"
"Stop? Why stop her?" Fufeng Tianlan asked, a hint of mockery visible beneath her veil. "Unexpectedly, such a barbaric place like Northern Mongolian produced a passionate princess. I’ve heard she once declared to find the most handsome man in the world as her husband. How could I refuse someone so deeply in love?"
"Miss?" He Miao asked, confusion visible on her face.
"My trap is set, how could I reject someone rushing to fall into it? He Miao, relay my order: clear a path and let them in!" With a flick of her dazzling white sleeve, Fufeng Tianlan spoke with certainty.
"Yes!"
"In addition, send a message to Youming Nanying: do not harm Borjigin Nian’s life!" Her face beneath the veil wore a sinister smile. Fufeng Tianlan said with resentment, "The drama of brother against brother, kin against kin in Northern Mongolian, has been carefully arranged by me for a long time. How can I let the only legitimate princess of Northern Mongolian die outside? No, no, I’m someone who cherishes beauty and cannot bear to see a lovely person fall. But this Borjigin Nian, with her poor judgment, colluded with that vile Gu Changsheng. Thus, being implicated by that wretch—it’s not surprising if I act ruthless!"
"Yes!" He Miao’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness, responding with a nod before turning to deliver the orders.
...
Not far away, the Dark Night Army following closely behind Borjigin Nian saw the entrance to the valley where dozens of people in black surprisingly cleared a path. The leader, Diao Chan, with a rugged face like a male, showed a hint of suspicion. Unable to restrain himself, he halted outside the Secluded Valley with a shout, "Whoa! Halt!"
"Diao Chan? What’s wrong?" Asked Jiang Wu and Jiang Liu, halting their horses and looking at Diao Chan with confusion.
"Something’s amiss! Judging by this situation, those guarding the valley entrance, the people in black, are clearly foes, not friends. And now they’ve cleared a path for us to enter—obviously trying to lure us into a trap!" The rugged Diao Chan unusually showed meticulousness, frowning, and said, "Judging by the situation, The Lord and Young Master are likely besieged in the valley! Though they number just in the tens, they managed to force The Lord’s escort team of three to five hundred into this place. These people must not be underestimated! Inside, there must be a presence that The Lord and his team fear!"
"So what do we do? Master Lou is fighting, and Princess Nian flew over; we can’t just stay outside and watch, can we?" The impetuous Jiang Wu immediately spoke in agitation.
"Of course we can’t just watch! We retreat!" Diao Chan broadly raised his eyebrows, tightened his grip on the reins, and turned the horse, "The terrain of the Secluded Valley is advantageous for entrapment; there are both pros and cons. The Secluded Valley is inherently narrow. If we seize the high ground, we might gain some advantage!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.
In an instant, hundreds of Dark Night Army members on the edge of the Secluded Valley entrance turned their horses around, spreading out in all directions!
This change was completely beyond Fufeng Tianlan’s expectations. Watching the path remain empty of anyone falling into the trap, Fufeng Tianlan narrowed her eyes, sneering, "The Dark Night Army certainly lives up to its reputation; even in such urgent circumstances, there are some wise enough to discern this trap. Quite impressive!"
"Then, Miss, what should we do?" He Miao asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
"Do nothing! They’re merely soldiers with minimal martial arts skills. Even disciplined, they won’t stir any major trouble! Just let them be!" Fufeng Tianlan waved dismissively, unconcerned.
"Yes!" He Miao bowed in response.
In the sky connecting the Secluded Valley and valley, Yue Xilou, already forced into a corner, witnessed a long whip slash through the air, intercepting the strike from the person in black. Seeing the whip-holder, Yue Xilou’s enchanting face suddenly turned pale. He took the opportunity to drift horizontally and crash into Borjigin Nian, urgently saying, "Why are you here? Retreat!"
"No retreat! Yue Xilou, you coward! Just because I smashed you once at the City Lord’s Mansion and rubbed you a couple of times, you’re hiding from me for so long? So brave, hiding as your life is about to be lost!" Borjigin Nian shouted sharply upon seeing this, her slender figure flipping and using Yue Xilou’s crash force, she sent her long whip towards the person in black again...
Yue Xilou heard this and couldn’t help but darken his face.
He had been in Linyuan City for a while. However, due to the incident that night, he had been avoiding Borjigin Nian for quite some time, and the two hadn’t met until now!
Now meeting again, with Borjigin Nian bluntly bringing up the embarrassing events of that night, for a moment, Yue Xilou actually felt a bit flustered!
What do you mean by smashing him once? Smashing where?
What do you mean by "touched him twice"? Where did you touch?
This shameless woman!
"Now is not the time to mess around, step back!"
But now was not the time to worry about this. Watching Borjigin Nian, who was wielding a Long Whip and fighting with the Person in Black, Yue Xilou dared not delay. Wiping away the fresh blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, he rushed forward again, folding fan infused with powerful Inner Strength, attacking the Person in Black...
The Person in Black, Youming Nanying, received He Miao’s secret technique transmitted message, instructing not to take Borjigin Nian’s life. Thus, even though a Master of the Transformative Realm, facing the combined attack of the two, Youming Nanying, unable to exert his full Inner Strength, was temporarily at a loss!
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
"..."
The successive sounds of explosions shattered the Secluded Valley, causing countless rocks to fall.
Even within the mountain hollow, the impact was felt, forcing the Dark Night Army to be cautious of accidental injuries while observing the battle!
"Grandpa, Grandpa, it’s Aunt Nian! It’s Aunt Nian! Aunt Nian has come!" The little dumpling, seeing the figure joining the battlefield, couldn’t help but cheer and jump up and down.
"Hm! We waited long enough, Nian Girl must be worried, that’s why she rushed over..." Gu Taitian sighed at these words, nodding his head.
Beside him, the little wise Little Monk Bu Jie, with his shiny bald head, watched the three fighting mid-air. A hint of worry flashed across his benevolent face, and he clasped his hands, chanting a Buddhist verse, saying, "Indeed, two against one can only delay things a bit more..."
"Little Monk, what do you mean by this? My Flower Peacock, Lion, and Tiger and Aunt Nian are very strong!" The little dumpling heard this and immediately became anxious, puffing out his cheeks and resentfully looking at Little Monk Bu Jie.
"A chasm as vast as the Milky Way, this First Layer of Heaven realm, cannot be overcome merely by numbers!" The eyes, aged as if they’ve seen through worldly affairs, carried a compassion for all living things, while Little Monk Bu Jie remained as benevolent as ever.
"Little Monk! Who are you calling a cloud? Who’s mud? I want to fight you!"
"This monk does not argue with petty people!" Little Monk Bu Jie replied, glancing at the little dumpling, slowly shaking his head.
Seeing this, the little dumpling clenched his little fists tightly. His chubby face was full of dissatisfaction, "Little Monk, you called me petty! You’re not that big either! You’re bullying people! My mother said bullying is wrong! I want to challenge you!"
"Yaoyao, don’t cause trouble! If we can overcome this crisis, it won’t be too late for you to challenge the Little Senior Monk!" Gu Taitian saw this and, although he was pleased to see his grandson remain optimistic in adversity, couldn’t help but advise, his eyes constantly on the three fighting!
Gu Taitian deeply understood that Little Monk Bu Jie’s prowess had nothing to do with age and never doubted the truth of his words!
Thus, he couldn’t help but tense up!
Worrying that Yue Xilou and Borjigin Nian would suffer a loss!
On the edge of the Secluded Valley, the battle was extremely intense. Even if the Master of the Transformative Realm tried to suppress their full Cultivation, the consequences were still quite catastrophic!
At this time, the Dark Night Army, which had already withdrawn from the Secluded Valley, under the leadership of Shuang Jiang and Jiang Wu Jiang Liu, split into two paths, unexpectedly encircling the mountain edges of this Secluded Valley!
At the other end of the Secluded Valley, at the foot of the mountain, Diao Chan swiftly dismounted from his horse despite his rugged build. He gave a deep command to the Dark Night Army unit following closely behind, "Dismount! Unload the supplies from the horses, fully arm yourselves. In fifteen minutes, we must reach the Secluded Valley’s summit and rendezvous with Jiang Wu Jiang Liu and others across! Move, move, move!"
"Understood!"
The sound of compliance quickly resounded from behind Diao Chan.
In an instant, the sounds of dismounting, unloading, and arming echoed swiftly and orderly at the foot of the mountain.
In just a few blinks of an eye, Diao Chan, who was the first to arm himself, climbed the steep rocks, his burly physique moving swiftly toward the mountain peak, "I will lead the way, everyone follow! Move, move, move!"
"Understood!"
The deep and concise response resounded behind Diao Chan. In a blink, the Dark Night Army, dressed in dark red uniforms, both men and women, followed quickly and orderly behind Diao Chan, climbing the steep rocks at high speed. From afar, they looked like a dark red serpent speedily ascending...
