Chapter 100.1 - The General's Daughter Who Eloped with the Lowly Stage Actor (8) |
After the sensational bandit incident that shook the entire nation last year, it’s astonishing that there were still audacious individuals openly hijacking trains.
It’s hard to decide whether to blame the bandits for their audacity or criticize the Republic’s government for its perceived weakness. With foreign powers attempting to divide China and internal warlords vying for supremacy, the country finds itself entangled in a state of chaos, where military and bandit forces intertwine.
Robbed of their belongings, the passengers seethed with anger, however, they did not dare voice out their grievances. While they secretly cursed the bandits and the government’s inability to maintain law and order, they were also gripped with fear for their own lives, feeling utterly helpless and bewildered.
One can only hope that there were more foreigners in the first and second-class carriages; otherwise, the situation remains deeply worrisome…
“Hey, you! Show your face!” A forceful command reverberated through the third-class carriage, instantly grabbing the attention of the remaining bandits and passengers alike.
In the face of the man’s harsh and grating shout, Gu MingYue surprisingly remained composed.
No matter who they were, she was undaunted, ready to confront any challenges that came her way.
Just as she was about to lift her head, Qian YunSheng next to her abruptly rose to his feet, prompting the bandits to swiftly point their guns at his head.
“This gentleman, I mean no harm. She is my wife, and her health is delicate. I need to make sure she is well-protected from the wind.” Qian YunSheng explained earnestly, smiling to accompany his words. His appearance was nothing short of remarkable, with a mix of melancholy and refinement that could captivate anyone’s gaze. Only Gu MingYue knew that his fist, clenched under his sleeve, was trembling.
A faint ‘click’ of a gun being loaded resounded clearly in the air, and Qian YunSheng’s throat bobbed up and down, a bead of sweat trailing down his alluring Adam’s apple.
The other party had clearly recognized Qian YunSheng, but they didn’t hesitate to point the gun at his head, showing no intention of leaving any survivors.
“Hold on!”
In an instant, Gu MingYue’s figure flashed astonishingly fast from behind Qian YunSheng to in front of him. She used her hand to shield the gun barrel. The smell of gunpowder, the scorching sensation on her fingertips, and the piercing sound of metal penetrating the carriage all assaulted her senses.
The once bustling carriage fell into an eerie silence as Gu MingYue stood firmly before Qian YunSheng. Her scarf slipped off, revealing some of her strikingly beautiful features. Beads of sweat adorned her delicate nose, and her radiant eyes fearlessly met the barrels of the three guns pointed at her.
In the blink of an eye, Qian YunSheng’s nerves shifted to bewilderment, all thanks to Gu MingYue’s astonishing display of skill.
Her dexterity was simply remarkable…
“Lower those guns, it’s risky to pull the trigger carelessly… Ah…” Gu MingYue gasped suddenly, her body leaning back against Qian YunSheng, who steadied her by holding her shoulders.
“Are you alright?” She turned her head, her smile soft and her eyes filled with relief and concern. “I never imagined that the martial arts I learned before would come in handy. How fortunate.”
Qian YunSheng’s throat tightened, and the countless words he wanted to utter transformed into a tender and loving sentiment, resting in the depths of his chest.
Gu MingYue’s skilful performance of feigned weakness and exhaustion had successfully deceived the trigger-happy bandit who had almost pulled the trigger on her. Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, he spat out a curse, “Damn it! Put those guns down!”
He had almost shot the young lady, and the thought of dealing with the consequences terrified him. If the gun went off accidentally, there would be a lifeless body to carry back, and he wanted to avoid that at all costs.
“Get over here! Tie them up and take them away! They are quite gutsy to dare negotiate with me!” The bandit’s eyes were filled with rage as he ordered his men to tightly bind Gu MingYue and Qian YunSheng with rough ropes. Despite maintaining a rough and domineering facade, he no longer aimed his gun directly at them, and instead, showed a hint of restraint.
Even the bandits could sense that the bound man and woman held significant importance, making them think twice before acting recklessly. After witnessing the consequences of last year’s railway robbery, even the boldest of thieves knew better than to harm individuals of such stature.
At this point, Qian YunSheng understood that the gang of bandits’ task of not bringing them harm was directed towards Gu MingYue, as for himself, the danger of being harmed still existed.
Although few had caught a clear glimpse of Gu MingYue’s lightning-fast moves before, none of the burly men entertained the thought that the delicate and graceful young woman in front of them possessed extraordinary martial skills. They simply attributed her burst of speed during the critical moment to the adrenaline of a life-threatening situation, following her act of feigned weakness.
Bound securely with ropes, Gu MingYue and Qian YunSheng were led through the second-class carriage by the bandits. The passengers on either side of the narrow aisle watched in silent terror, not daring to breathe or obstruct their path. They lowered their heads and huddled in their seats, creating a surprisingly smooth passage for the group to walk through. The fear in the air was palpable, and no one dared to challenge their ‘special treatment’ of the two individuals.
Translator’s Note:
I am guessing that the guy is the younger brother of Xue HeZe’s fiancé!
