Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1234: Chapter 1235: Greedy for Life and Afraid of Death

Li Wuyu, Du Aya, Liu Feifei, Baoqin, Lie Qi, Shi Hua, and Ting Shu were all somewhat frightened. After all, knives were poised at their necks, and a single swipe could end their lives.

They didn’t even dare to breathe, fearing that the sharp blade touching their flesh would slice their throats open.

As soon as Ye Zhi entered the tent she was staying in, she disguised her voice as a man’s and warned Li Wuyu and the others to behave themselves, threatening to kill them if they did not.

Meanwhile, with An Jing.

As An Jing entered the tent, she saw Ma Guihua scared to the point of wetting herself, her body trembling as she begged for mercy: ”I still have in-laws at home that depend on me, I cannot die, please let me go, I am willing to be your slave, just please spare me...”

Due to Ma Guihua wetting herself, the tent suddenly had a particularly foul smell.

An Jing was truly displeased with Ma Guihua’s cowardice; was this the behavior expected of a soldier?

Ignoring Ma Guihua’s pleas, An Jing, imitating a man’s rough tone, said: ”Which one of you is the Princess? We are after the Emperor of Xiyun’s most beloved sister. We intend to use her to threaten him.”

An Jing pretends she is not from Xiyun, and came to capture Su Chengyuan.

Su Chengyuan was instantly terrified, having not expected that these people were after her.

Although Liu Feifei was somewhat scared, seeing An Jing’s figure and hearing her husky voice, her thin brows slowly furrowed. To avoid mistaking her, she took a careful look at An Jing, who was dressed in Night Clothes and masked.

Yan Xiaohong and Zhou Piaopiao had already been frightened by the knives at their necks and were unable to speak.

Ma Guihua continued to plead tearfully for mercy.

Du Aya, while scared, immediately spoke up when she heard the masked person say they were taking Su Chengyuan to threaten their Emperor: ”It’s me! I’m the Princess! If you want to capture someone, capture me, let them go!”

Hearing this, An Jing was quite pleased.

Su Chengyuan was emotionally complex upon hearing Du Aya’s declaration; she had always regarded Du Aya as insignificant, the least worthy of respect, but now, only Du Aya was protecting her—a Princess.

”You...” An Jing feigned disbelief, sizing up Du Aya, ”With such a robust physique, could you really be the pampered, cherished Princess of the Emperor of Xiyun?”

With her eyes wide open, Du Aya brazenly lied: ”Exactly, because I have been so pampered and lived so comfortably, I’ve grown robust. I am the Princess, if you want to capture someone, capture me!”

An Jing said: ”My companions have gone to capture other recruits and will ask the same question. If they don’t claim it’s you... heh, I don’t know if I will kill you, but I will also kill these few people you are now protecting.”

Ma Guihua, upon hearing from the masked person that she might also be killed, immediately pointed at Su Chengyuan and said: ”She is the Princess! She is the Princess! Since I told you who the Princess is, please, spare me... spare me...”

An Jing’s eyes narrowed dangerously in the moment, utterly disdainful of this Ma Guihua.

”You...” Suddenly, Liu Feifei hesitated then spoke softly, ”Are you Instructor An?”

An Jing was taken aback, then smiled and pulled down her black mask, saying: ”How did you recognize me?”

Liu Feifei responded: ”I might not be good at many things, but I am very good at recognizing people.”

Then, Liu Feifei pointed to the young general holding a knife at Du Aya’s neck and said: ”He... should be Deputy General Yuan under General Liu.”
