My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1413: Chapter 1412: Night Raid on the Granary (Part 2)

So, Xiao Qing unhesitatingly threw the darts in her hand, hitting the patrol captain in an instant, then laughed cheerfully and soared down...

Wu Guangzu was momentarily stunned when he saw Xiao Qing, furrowing his brows, thinking: Why is this girl here too?

But at the same time, he felt grateful; it was truly thanks to Xiao Qing, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. Thinking of this, Wu Guangzu smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Qing, thank you!"

"Haha, you’re welcome, this is what I should do."

Xiao Qing heard Wu Guangzu’s words and felt as if she’d eaten honey, sweet and delightful.

Wu Guangzu nodded, not saying much, remembering that there were still many brothers inside waiting to complete the task. He swiftly dragged the patrol captain’s body to where the previous guards were and then hurriedly ran into the grain warehouse.

At this moment, Ru Nian had already led everyone to carry out the grain.

"Ru Nian, I’ve taken care of things outside; you lead everyone to quickly move the grain out. I’ll stay here and guard."

Wu Guangzu looked at Xiao Qing, still a bit worried, unsure if they might be discovered later. So he said, "Xiao Qing, you follow them out and wait outside."

"I won’t!"

Xiao Qing realized her tone might be problematic, as this was Brother Wu Guangzu, her brashness might anger him. Hastily, she added, "Okay, be careful then."

Wu Guangzu watched Xiao Qing’s swift attitude change, a bit puzzled, but time was tight, so he finally said, "Hmm, alright, hurry and follow them."

With that, Ru Nian led the group slowly outside.

Before long, the first batch of grain was safely delivered. Not far away, a person appeared—it was Tan Batian, who shouted a code word, "Quack quack quack..."

Upon hearing the code, Ru Nian replied with a few sounds, and the next moment, five carts were pushed out from the bushes. The group’s actions were very fast, quickly arriving in front of Ru Nian.

"Brother Batian, the carts have arrived, right? We’ve already carried out a batch of grain, you guys put them on the carts first, and we’re preparing to continue transporting the grain," Ru Nian said urgently.

"Okay, take care,"

Tan Batian didn’t delay further, directly nodding and saying.

Thus Ru Nian, along with the previous brothers, swiftly returned, going back and forth five or six times until the five carts were piled high with grain.

Over there, Wu Guangzu saw the task completed, ready to leave, but suddenly heard a whistle—it was from the patrol captain waking up.

Though still dazed, probably due to soldiers’ strong willpower, he endured the dizziness and forcefully blew the conch shell.

At this moment, all the soldiers in the warehouse courtyard heard it and urgently woke up, rushing towards the warehouse where Wu Guangzu was located. Meanwhile, not far away, the army also received the signal, with Grand Generals Zhao Ping and Zhao An leading the charge.

After the last battle with Fang Yan, although they were severely injured, Kuang Chenggong, now above ten thousand people, had collected a considerable amount of heavenly materials and treasures and gave them a Great Rejuvenation Pill each. After a few days of recovery, they had mostly returned to normal.

The two generals, upon hearing the whistle, given the terrain here, with many mountain roads unfavorable for vehicles, led hundreds of people galloping over on horses.

At this time, Wu Guangzu knew the situation had changed, urgently leaping to Ru Nian’s side.

"Junior Brother, it’s bad, we’ve been discovered. You take the brothers and pull the grain back to the Fire Dragon Gang, I’ll stay to cover the retreat," Wu Guangzu said hastily.

"Third Senior Brother, I will stay too," Ru Nian said, gritting his teeth.

"No, one of us must return and follow Gang Leader Xiao’s orders to regain the Assassin Group. If I escape successfully, I will quickly rejoin you."

Wu Guangzu knew there wasn’t much time left; if they didn’t leave now, they wouldn’t make it when the army arrived.

"Third Senior Brother! I....."

"Ru Nian, follow orders, prioritize the big picture, no matter what happens, regain the Assassin Group, understood?"

Wu Guangzu smiled and said, "Trust me, now with true inner strength, I won’t be in danger. You and the brothers hurry and take the grain back to the stronghold."

Ru Nian thought about it; it seemed reasonable indeed. Wu Guangzu, the Third Senior Brother, now possessed extraordinary martial arts, having received the master’s true teachings, shouldn’t be in grave danger.

Thus, Ru Nian turned around and said to everyone, "We’ve been discovered by the enemy, so let’s leave here quickly, go!"

As soon as Ru Nian finished speaking, the group pushed the grain-laden carts and left swiftly, with the junior brothers watching Wu Guangzu reluctantly, gradually disappearing into the night.

Soon, only Wu Guangzu was left. He couldn’t leave, because if he did, the enemy would pursue along this path.

They had cavalry, catching up would not take long, so he decided to delay, and once they returned, Wu Guangzu could leave.

Thinking of this, Wu Guangzu let out a long breath; he didn’t know what he would face next—a thousand troops? Or various experts?

However, to buy time for Junior Brother Ru Nian, he wouldn’t leave no matter what. Wu Guangzu silently stood in the middle of the road with the Blood Shadow Saber.

The Blood Shadow Saber was Fang Yan’s divine weapon, also the weapon of the Assassin Group’s leaders through generations. Just like the Beggar Gang’s Dog Beating Stick, it was invaluable.

Following Fang Yan’s passing, he handed the sect leader position to Wu Guangzu, along with the Godless Technique and the Blood Shadow Saber.

Without doubt, the Blood Shadow Saber was a heaven-defying divine artifact. If activated, it wouldn’t lose to the Dragon Slayer Sword.

However, its activation required coating with the blood of ten thousand people and forging for forty-nine days—a perversely difficult process that no past leaders had ever completed.

It’s not that it’s extremely difficult, but because the Assassin Group has reformed, becoming a reputable sect. To require them to kill thousands to activate it is impossible.

Wu Guangzu looked at the Blood Shadow Saber, remembering Master Fang Yan, a rush of anger surged to his head.

Fang Yan treated him like a son, yet he watched him die helplessly. The sorrow at this moment was something only he could truly feel.

While lost in thought, suddenly the sound of hooves came from ahead, jolting Wu Guangzu awake from his mournful recollections. He glanced at the dark road ahead—he knew the enemy would soon arrive, yet Junior Brother Ru Nian had just left. If he hid now, they might be caught up quickly.

Thus Wu Guangzu let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and waited silently...

It wasn’t long before Zhao Ping and Zhao An came galloping with five hundred elite troops, archers, infantry, cavalry—all present. Wu Guangzu opened his eyes, witnessing the vast army ahead, feeling a tinge of unease.

Yet at this point, he could only delay as much as possible.

"Shh....."

Zhao Ping was galloping on his horse when suddenly, after a corner, he saw a person standing before him with a steel saber, startling him greatly.

"Who’s ahead, daring to block my path? Are you courting death?"

Zhao Ping asked, both furious and puzzled, for holding a saber on the road at night was either a robber or someone they were pursuing.
