The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 232

[Chapter 232 There is an ambush]

Lin Tian thought about it, indeed, those decorations were too expensive.

Especially the jade cabbage, which can be said to be very valuable. I didn’t care much about it at the time, but now I think there might be something fishy.

“I’m afraid there is something else behind this flood.”

Lin Tian stood up. They didn’t have any evidence, so it wouldn’t work just by guessing.

Lin Kang next to him didn’t interrupt their conversation. He kept flipping through the materials.

He found that many of them were mixed with weeds. With such materials, it was really difficult to prevent the surging water.

“I have to go back to Beijing to inform the emperor and thoroughly investigate whether this matter is related to the governor. So many lives have to be lost, and there must be a result.”

Lin Tian said and turned to walk over. Song Zijie also went back and jumped on the horse.

Lin Kang, who fell behind, said hurriedly, and then ran away in a hurry.

“Wait for me.”

“Is there a problem with the dam?”

Lei Dian asked when he saw people coming back.

Xu Wenxuan looked at Lin Tian. Judging from their expressions, he was afraid that there was something wrong with the dam.

“Well, the materials of the dam seem to have been adulterated, but this is just our guess, but it’s almost certain.”

Recalling the touch of the materials just now, the quality is really not very good.

They frowned when they heard this, and Su Xiangning’s eyes became serious.

“In other words, this flood can actually be avoided?”

Su Xiangning’s heart was slightly cold. If this is true, those who lost their lives would not have suffered an unexpected disaster.

“This is just a suspicion. We still have to check the specific situation to know.”

They accelerated their pace back to Beijing. There were still many things to be solved, so they could only rush back to Beijing as soon as possible.

After a long journey, they stopped to eat some dry food when they were hungry, and then set off immediately, with very little rest during the period.

On the second night.

Lin Tian and his group passed by and rested in the wild. The nearest inn was also very far away, and they could not get there, so they could only rest like this for the time being.

“Are you not used to it?”

He came to the carriage and asked the people inside.

Su Xiangning lifted the curtain and shook his head.

“It’s okay, don’t think I’m too fragile.”

Hearing this, Lin Tian touched the tip of his nose. Even though Su Xiangning was a skilled doctor, she was still a woman after all, so he came to care for her.

The sky gradually darkened.

It was silent, with only a little sound from the fire.

In the first half of the night, Lin Kang kept watch, and he was alert and didn’t dare to slack off. When he finished watching and went to change the thunder and lightning, his tense spirit was a little relaxed.

In addition, Lin Kang’s face had begun to show fatigue due to the rush during the day.

Thinking that he would be able to change the thunder and lightning soon, he relaxed a little and didn’t notice the movement around him.

“Swish–“

The sound of an arrow breaking through the air came, and Lin Kang suddenly woke up at the critical moment and dodged the arrow.

“There is an ambush!”

Lin Kang shouted.

When he heard the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, Lin Tian woke up in shock. Just as he was about to wake up the others, he heard Lin Kang’s shout, and the rest of the people woke up to defend against the enemy.

The attackers were wearing night clothes, and with the late night, they really couldn’t see the attackers clearly.

Lin Tian glanced at the people coming. There were about thirty people, all of whom were very agile.

One of them attacked Lin Tian, and the sharp sword in his hand was about to chop Lin Tian’s body, but Lin Tian quickly dodged and kicked the man away.

Lei Dian and others were surrounded by people.

Lin Tian looked in the direction of the carriage and saw several people slashing at the carriage, so he rushed over

anxiously. At this time, he saw that those people suddenly fell to the ground when they were about to approach the carriage.

Su Xiangning walked out of the carriage, and Lin Tian happened to come to her side and asked hurriedly.

“Are you okay?”

“Those people were stabbed by my poison needles. If they were stabbed by my poison needles, they would die.”

Su Xiangning took out a few silver needles from her waist bag and paid vigilant attention to the surroundings.

Seeing this, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Su Xiangning was okay.

Just as they were talking, several more people attacked, and Lin Tian was entangled by them, and for a while he couldn’t take care of Su Xiangning.

Su Xiangning saw that Lin Tian’s attention was on her from time to time, and she was afraid that he would lose, so she said immediately.

“Don’t worry about me, I will be fine.”

With her words, seeing that these people really couldn’t do anything to her, she felt relieved and temporarily focused on dealing with the people in front of her.

The sound of weapons clashing came into her ears. The people who came were killing moves. It seemed that the people who sent them wanted Lin Tian and others to die here.

Lin Tian dodged the palm of the person who came, pinched the other person’s wrist, pulled forward with force, and raised his knee to hit his abdomen.

At the moment when the other person was in pain and didn’t react, he pulled the person behind him and used him as a meat shield to block the next sword.

Seeing that the person in his hand had stopped breathing, he let go.

The people on Su Xiangning’s side shot them with poison needles one after another, making them afraid to move forward easily.

The besiegers looked at each other secretly for a few times, and all rushed forward.

Su Xiangning had some difficulty coping with it, and accidentally fell down when dodging the attack of one of them.

Before she could get up, she saw a man holding a sword and stabbing at her.

Su Xiangning gritted her teeth and threw the needle in her hand.

The man fell to the ground after being stabbed . Su Xiangning

took this opportunity to get up quickly.

Lin Tian was not far away from Su Xiangning. He noticed the situation on her side and wanted to rush over, but was tripped by several people. Seeing that she was fine, he quickly dealt with these people and wanted to go over.

Su Xiangning stood up, and the needle in her hand was gone. She reached for her waist bag to get the needle, but her face changed slightly.

Her eyes fell on the waist bag on the ground not far away. It seemed that she accidentally dropped the waist bag on the ground when she fell just now.

Those people also saw that she had no needles, and they no longer had any scruples.

“This woman has no needles left, hurry up!”

The leader shouted with a sword in hand, and left with a murderous aura.

Su Xiangning’s danger was gradually approaching, and she was surrounded by people and couldn’t escape at all.

At this time, Lin Tian just found a breakthrough. At the critical moment, he rushed in, hugged Su Xiangning’s waist, used the force to turn around, and took the stolen sword in his hand and slashed at the nearest person.

Lin Tian and Su Xiangning were very close. In order to be able to hug her, he used his strength to hug her in his arms.

Just at this moment, he lowered his head, and if he got closer, he would almost kiss Su Xiangning.

Before he had time to feel the ambiguous atmosphere, someone rushed up again and wanted to kill them.

Lin Tian put her in a safer place and then responded to the enemy.

Su Xiangning was a little panicked at first, and when she felt the temperature in the other person’s arms, she could even feel his warm breath when he lowered his head, which made her face gradually steam.

The instigator was still killing the enemy.

Su Xiangning shook her head, trying to dispel the heat.

Lin Tian didn’t look at Su Xiangning, and concentrated on dealing with these people. After several battles, he gradually gained the upper hand.

The attackers saw that things were not going well and began to retreat.
