Chapter 889 The Rescue

Chapter 889: The Rescue Chapter 889: The Rescue Editor: Atlas Studios The soldiers split into four columns and went ashore.

In the middle, there were a few people carrying cannonballs.

Mu Yangling and the others only lifted the cannon and got off the ship when they were almost gone.

Holding a cannon that weighed nearly 2,000 catties, the petite Mu Yangling instantly disappeared from view.

When the people on the shore looked over, they could only see the cannon moving on its own.

The eight guards’ expressions were a little cracked.

Although they had expected this, they still couldn’t accept it when they really saw it.

The Princess Consort was single-handedly carrying a cannon that usually required 20 people to lift!

Alright, maybe it wasn’t terrifying that she managed to lift it.

The point is, she was also walking at a brisk speed as if it was no big deal.

Zhou Zhou had been worried that they wouldn’t be able to move the cannon over.

After all, there were only nine people behind them inclusive of the Princess Consort.

Hence, after going ashore, he turned around and took a look.

What he saw immediately made him stagger and almost caused him to fall.

The cannon was quickly moving towards him.

There were eight guards around the cannon, and the only one missing was the Princess Consort.

Zhou Zhou stared at the legs under the cannon in shock before turning around numbly and saying to the deputy commander, “Tell everyone to speed up…” He must not let the Princess Consort walk to the front.

Otherwise, the soldiers would be in chaos before the battle even started.

As they rushed up the peak, the soldiers naturally did not look back, so no one noticed the cannon following closely behind them.

However, the Westerner was not their soldier and was feeling worried about his cannons.

He was not worried that they would not be able to carry them.

In fact, that would be even better.

What he worried about was that they would damage his cannon.

Hence, he turned around and took a look.

That one look stunned him.

The Westerner, who had barely calmed down, staggered again.

Were the people of Great Qi all so impressive?

Then how were they still defeated so badly by the pirates?

Or was the Princess Consort the only one who was extraordinary?

Mu Yangling placed the cannon in the designated position and pressed the three Westerners down to make them fire.

At this moment, the three Westerners could not feel any resistance or laziness.

In the face of absolute power, all schemes and plots were useless.

The cannonballs flew through the small forest and landed amidst the pirates.

The pirates who had been preparing to charge for the last time were immediately blasted away.

Mu Yangling blinked and gave the Westerners a thumbs up.

“You’re really accurate.” Although the power of the cannon was limited, if the cannonballs landed in the dense crowd, the other party would still suffer heavy casualties.

She didn’t expect this gunner to be so powerful, to be able to fire so accurately without even adjusting the telescope.

The Westerner, on the other hand, was stunned.

He swore to God, that was just a casual shot.

Although his country was not considered friendly with Portugal now, they were still allies.

He didn’t truly intend to blow the Portuguese up.

The soldiers behind him didn’t care about his stunned expression, however.

Seeing that his shot had landed in the crowd, he quickly stuffed the cannonball he was holding and lit it up… After firing three consecutive shots, the pirates on the other side were completely enraged.

They urged the natives to charge forward.

However, the natives had already scattered after the first cannonball landed.

Using guns, the pirates forced the natives to rush forward, but the latter did not dare to do so.

The other party was clearly stronger than them.

If they were dying either way, they might as well stay and rest.

Zhou Zhou left a portion of his men to guard the cannon and divided the remaining people into two teams to flank the enemy from the left and right.

Meanwhile, Mu Yangling and the eight guards each held a bow and hid in the forest to kill the enemy’s gunner.

If not for the fact that their pirate leader was in the middle of a crowd, Mu Yangling really wanted to shoot him to death.

Seeing that it was about time, the guard whispered, “Your Highness, let’s go up the mountain quickly.

His Highness should have almost reached.” Mu Yangling put away her bow and took the sword from the guard.

“Let’s go.” The group of nine people attacked from the side.

When the pirates saw them raising their guns, he was about to shoot.

Just then, a guard appeared in front of him in a flash.

He snatched his gun and slashed the person in an instant.

The other seven people quickly jumped into the group of pirates and started slaying them.

Now that the soldiers were up close, the pirates were killed before they could shoot.

Although Mu Yangling’s qinggong was a little lousy, she was still very fast compared to the Westerners.

As she walked ahead, she killed her way up.

Soon, she broke through the enemy’s encirclement.

Unfortunately for the enemy, this was the border area, and most of the pirates had gone down after their attention was attracted by the cannonballs.

There were very few pirates who stayed behind to continue surrounding them.

Coupled with the fact that these eight people were not dragging her down, they were naturally faster.

The eight guards surrounded Mu Yangling in the middle to protect her as they leaped up the mountain with light footsteps.

In a few leaps, they arrived at the mountain pass.

Ever since the cannonballs landed in the midst of the pirates, everyone on the mountain had been lying down at the mountain pass to watch.

Seeing the nine people dressed as Han Chinese flying up, everyone cheered softly.

Yanmo even pounced out with tears streaming down his face and shouted, “Your Highness, our master is here!” Hearing the voice, Mu Yangling hurriedly rushed towards Yanmo.

“Yanmo!” When Mu Yangling rushed up, she saw Fan Zijin lying at Yanmo’s feet with his eyes closed.

Shocked, she took a step forward and squatted down.

She reached out to touch his neck.

Upon feeling the rhythm of his pulse, Mu Yangling heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “What’s wrong with him?” “It’s hunger.

Our master fainted from hunger.

Your Highness, did you bring food?” Mu Yangling took off the bag on her back and removed the water bottle on her waist.

She first fed the unconscious Fan Zijin a mouthful of water.

When his lips were a little more moist, she opened the bag.

She had brought a lot of dry rations.

Considering how pampered Fan Zijin was, she had even packed up the remaining snacks on the ship.

Although it did not taste good after leaving it for two to three days, it was still better than dry rations.

There were also two big apples.

Looking at the unconscious Fan Zijin, Mu Yangling was put in a difficult position.

“How do I feed him?” Yanmo Hao took an apple without hesitation and twisted it with a dagger before stuffing the fine apple bits into Fan Zijin’s mouth.

When Fan Zijin tasted the sweetness in his mouth, he slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw Mu Yangling looking at him with concern, he blinked and turned to look at Yanmo.

In a low voice, he said, “Geez, I must be hallucinating due to hunger.” Yanmo cried, “Master, you’re not hallucinating.

This is the Princess Consort.

Prince Rong and the Princess Consort have come to save us.” Fan Zijin’s body stiffened.

Then, he reached out and pinched Mu Yangling’s face.

After confirming that she was real, he couldn’t help but tug at Mu Yangling’s sleeve and cry.

“It’s been more than ten days!

What have you guys been doing?” Zhou De and the others were secretly anxious.

They thought to themselves, ‘How can you blame Prince Rong and the Princess Consort for this?

Wouldn’t this make them disappointed?

Isn’t the Duke of Peaceful State afraid of falling out with the two of them?’ Wiping away his tears, Yanmo turned around, wanting to pretend that he didn’t see this.

If he witnessed such an embarrassing thing, Fan Zijin would definitely skin them alive when it occurred to him later.

However, Mu Yangling merely patted his head with a gentle expression.

“Aren’t we here now?”
