Chapter 283: It Was Really a Trap

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“News.”

Before Ke Ruan could breathe a sigh of relief, someone else came to report and everyone looked across at him.

Compared to the previous person who delivered the news, this person was seriously injured and his face was covered in blood that they couldn’t see his appearance clearly.

Then, he fell down from the horse after he reported ‘news’ and the soldiers beside him immediately helped him stand up.

“What’s going on?” Ke Ruan felt his breathing became more rapid.

“His Majesty was ambushed and injured.”

Ke Ruan felt a loud hum in his brain and his whole body swayed. ‘How could this be?’

Lin Qingye was worried, “Mr. Ke, are you okay?”

Ke Ruan grabbed Lin Qingye’s arm and said, “Take me to Shili Slope.”

Seeing that Lin Qingye didn’t respond, he stressed his tone, “General Lin, I beg you. Take me to Shili Slope.”

Lin Qingye still didn’t react. Qi Cheng immediately grabbed Ke Ruan’s arm and climbed on the back of the horse swiftly, “I’ll take you there.”

At this time, Ke Ruan didn’t care about the hatred between him and Qi Cheng. The only thing he worried about most now was Si Yuhan.

Lin Qingye was shocked. He watched the two figures of them disappear slowly. He drew his sword from its sheath and coldly said, “Who are you?”

The soldiers were confused and a sharp-eyed soldier shouted, “General, he is biting his tongue to commit suicide.”

Lin Qingye’s eyes changed and he immediately pinched his chin to open his mouth.

“He has taken poison.”

Now everyone took it in that he was a spy. They never thought that the enemy would suddenly come up with such a tactic. And the purpose seem to be very obvious.

“We didn’t do well in guarding the town. Please punish us, general,” many officers and soldiers knelt down.

Lin Qingye asked them to stand up. It was also his fault that he had just discovered the weirdness of this person, so he couldn’t stop Ke Ruan in time.

He let the soldiers guard the town, and he also mounted the horse and chased after them.

Shili Slope was a place about five miles away from here. Its strength was still five miles, so it got this name.

On Shili Slope, the terrain was rugged and it was neither easy to defend nor attack there.

From afar, Ke Ruan could hear the sound of fighting. He hurriedly said, “Hurry up, please.”

Qi Cheng heard the vague sound not far away and frowned.

Something seemed to be wrong.

As they got closer to the source of the sound, Qi Cheng’s face changed a lot, then he tightened his reins, and the next second, he grabbed Ke Ruan’s collar and flew away from the horse’s back.

Seeing the horse fell into a trap like this, he also realized it.

“Damn it, this is just a trap,” Qi Cheng was a little annoyed by his recklessness. He said coldly to Ke Ruan, “Don’t run around behind me. If you die, I also have to be buried with you.”

Ke Ruan understood the current situation too. He looked at the horse which had fallen into the trap and calmly said, “Don’t worry, I won’t die.”

Qi Cheng snorted coldly, pretending that this person was saying something to comfort him.

It had not been a day or two for him to see Qi Cheng like this, so Ke Ruan was already used to it.

“Go!”

Groups of people in black soon appeared around them. Ke Ruan looked at the things they were holding and confirmed his thoughts.

He said to Qi Cheng, “They are aiming at me. You go first, don’t worry about me.”

No matter how strong Qi Cheng was, he could not fight against so many people. With so many of them facing Qi Cheng alone, how could Qi Cheng take advantage of them?

Qi Cheng roared, “Shut up.”

If he really threw Ke Ruan here, His Majesty would definitely tear him apart.
