Chapter 1360: Chapter 1159 Bei Lingsu_1 Chapter 1360: Chapter 1159 Bei Lingsu_1 “Young Master Tong, are you alright?” the captain of the Divine Crossbow Team asked with concern.
“I’m fine.” Tong Sanlang managed to speak with difficulty, “Quickly find a safe place to thank this young lady. Did we capture any of them alive?”
“No, when we saw you were injured, all of our brothers stopped to prepare to rescue you,” the captain said.
Tong Sanlang frowned slightly upon hearing this and said, “Then find a safe place.”
“This County Town is very strange. I think we should retreat from the town,” suggested the captain of the Divine Crossbow Team.
Tong Sanlang hummed in agreement. He now lacked even the strength to turn his head, so he could only move his eyes to the left and said, “Miss, thank you. Could you trouble yourself to lead us out of the County Town?”
The young lady in white answered crisply and pleasantly, “Alright.”
She said so and flew ahead, with the members of the Divine Crossbow Team hastily following her.
They stopped on the main road outside the town, where the young lady in white laid Tong Sanlang and Madam Zhang down on the ground. The people of the Divine Crossbow Team quickly chopped down trees to fashion a simple stretcher and placed Tong Sanlang and Madam Zhang upon it.
Tong Sanlang lay flat, looking upwards, and only then did he get a clear view of the young lady in white.
With an oval face, distinct black and white apricot eyes, fair skin, and delicate features that could only be described as refined. Yet, these combined to give her an extremely pure and fresh temperament; like an upright white lotus standing tall, she was a sight so ethereal it made one forget the mundane world.
Tong Sanlang blinked and managed a smile, thanking her again sincerely, “Thank you for your life-saving grace, may I ask for your esteemed name, Miss?”
Her apricot eyes were like clear autumn waters, and she looked at Tong Sanlang curiously before saying, “My name is Bei Lingsu. You may call me Miss Bei.”
“Bei?” Tong Sanlang was somewhat uncertain.
“The Bei as in shell.”
Tong Sanlang responded with an “Oh,” still somewhat hesitant, “Thank you for your assistance just now.”
“It was nothing,” Bei Lingsu said with a nonchalant wave of her hand.
It was then that the captain of the Divine Crossbow Team finished examining Madam Zhang and said, “Young Master Tong, your wife has broken three fingers on her right hand; they need to be bandaged immediately. Moreover, her right arm and right leg are both fractured; we must find a doctor to treat her as soon as possible.”
“You’ve been poisoned as well; we need to find a doctor for you too,” he said.
After pondering for a moment, Tong Sanlang ordered, “You all take care of my mother’s fingers first. I’m still alright for now. You go to the County Town to scout the situation, and also send a message to His Highness Prince Wei right away.”
“Eh? You’re planning to stay?” Bei Lingsu shook her head when she heard this, “You shouldn’t stay. As far as I know, the Tianlong Gang have more than just these people. These were only their experts, but they have many gang members. You won’t be able to kill them all. It would be better for you to leave.”
Tong Sanlang furrowed his brow even more tightly upon hearing this, “How many are there?”
“At the very least, there should be over ten thousand,” she replied.
“That many!” Tong Sanlang exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, so you’d better go first. It’s not too late to come back with reinforcements to surround and annihilate them later. So many people won’t be able to escape all at once,” Bei Lingsu said.
Tong Sanlang, upon hearing this, hesitated no longer, “Let’s go, to Ningwu County.”
The journey to Prefecture City from Huan Kang takes five days, far too long. Before coming, he and the Shopkeeper of the Zhang Family had arranged to meet in Ningwu County, which was half a day’s journey from here.
There were people from the Tingfeng Pavilion there; it was very safe.
“Yes!” The members of the Divine Crossbow Team obeyed the order and prepared to carry Tong Sanlang and Madam Zhang away.
Tong Sanlang looked towards Bei Lingsu, “Miss, would you like to go to Ningwu with us? Once we get to Ningwu, I would like to properly thank you.”
