Chapter 439: Thwarted Just One Step Away

Su Ying followed the route drawn on the map and rode her horse all the way to the foot of a mountain before the sky turned dark. She then stopped there.

After riding hard for several days, her inner thighs were sore from the abrasion.

Su Ying jumped off the horse and took a deep breath. The tender flesh on the inner thigh was the most sensitive, and when it hurt, it felt as if a dagger had stabbed at it.

She secured the horse to a tree at the side. After making sure that there was no one around, she zipped into the interspatial store.

She took off her pants to treat the wound on her legs. When she sprayed the medicine on it, it hurt so much that she grimaced.

After bandaging her wound, she didn’t go out immediately. Instead, she lay in the interspatial store and planned to sleep for a while. She wasn’t made of iron after all. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t tired from all the rus.h.i.+ng on her journey.

Not long after Su Ying lay down, she fell asleep. However, this time, she slept very restlessly. In her dreams, there would always be some crying sounds that made her feel extremely uneasy.

When she woke up again, she felt a headache.

Su Ying got up and found some dried beef, dry food, and nutrient fluids. She planned to consume them before continuing on her journey.

When she walked to the back row of shelves, Su Ying paused in her tracks and realized that there was another room behind them that had been closed all this time.

She had never opened this room since she arrived here. She had already forgotten what was inside.

Su Ying took a bite of her dry food and walked over to open the door.

The moment the door was pushed open, the room’s interior became bright. The room was very s.p.a.cious, and it contained nothing but vehicles.

Su Ying was astounded for a moment. She still had these things, but she had completely forgotten about them!

Su Ying finished off the dry food and dried beef in her hands in two or three bites. With these things, why would she still need to ride a horse through the wind and rain?

Su Ying really wanted to give herself a tight slap and scold herself for being stupid. Why didn’t she think of these things earlier?

Su Ying first left her interspatial store. It was still dark outside right now. She took out a flashlight and went into the forest to cut down a lot of tree branches and put them into her interspatial store. When the tree branches had been piled up to a certain extent, she put the horse into her interspatial store as well.

Su Ying used her dagger to cut the tree branches into the shape she wanted, then wrapped the tree branches completely around an air-powered motorcycle as if she were weaving a basket. After she was done camouflaging it, she changed into a camouflage uniform similar to the color of the tree branches and rode out of the interspatial store on the air-powered motorcycle.

The speed of the air-powered motorcycle could reach 124 miles per hour at the fastest, but she would not ride so fast in order not to scare the commoners here. However, it was still faster than a powerful steed and more comfortable to sit on.

Su Ying planned to travel under the cover of night. With this thing, she would be able to leave the Jin State in an even shorter time.

The air-powered motorcycle emitted a m.u.f.fled rumble in the air. Vroom! It then shot out like a cloud-piercing arrow.

Su Ying leaned low on the motorcycle. Her windbreaker and helmet s.h.i.+elded her from most of the wind.

The sky was now slightly bright. The villagers who came out of the village were preparing to go up the mountain. Some of them were picking pigweed while others were picking wild vegetables.

However, just as they were climbing up the mountain, they suddenly saw a green object moving quickly towards the foot of the mountain. Before they could see clearly what it was, the “monster” flashed past the foot of the mountain with a loud boom. If it weren’t for the swaying branches on both sides of the foot of the mountain, they would have thought that they had been mistaken.

When Su Ying saw that the sky was about to become totally bright, she stopped the motorcycle. If she remembered correctly, she would reach a city at the next stop. Once she reached a densely populated area, she couldn’t possibly ride this thing again.

She walked a little further to the front. When she felt that more and more people were pa.s.sing by, she brought the air-powered motorcycle back to the interspatial store. She then switched to her horse and rode it to the city.

After entering the city, she only stopped for a moment on the street where food was sold and then continued to hurry on her journey. When she left the city and after it was dark, she could use the high-tech transportation tools. In this way, she could reach the border of the Jin State in less than two days.

Horses couldn’t be ridden in the city, so Su Ying could only dismount and place the food she had bought on the horse’s back. She held a pancake in her hand and chewed on it as she walked.

In order to speed up the journey out of the city, she rented a horse carriage and harnessed the horse to the horse carriage as she headed out of the city gate.

After exiting the city gates, Su Ying placed the supplies she had bought into her interspatial store and rode her horse into a remote path. When the sky darkened, she switched to the air-powered motorcycle again and continued on her way.

The air-powered motorcycle was faster than she had expected. On the third morning, she saw the border gates of the Jin State.

Su Ying watched from afar the soldiers guarding the border. She then mounted her horse and took out the clearance doc.u.ments before going toward the gate to join the queue.

As long as she could get through the border gates, she would be even closer to the Chu State!

Su Ying subconsciously gripped the doc.u.ment in her hand tightly. She became inexplicably excited, and the longing that she had been suppressing in the depths of her heart almost burst out.

The border guards were very strict. Even all the goods brought by the people who wanted to exit the border gate would be flipped through and checked thoroughly.

Just as the guards were about to reach Su Ying, a group of people on horseback suddenly rushed up from behind her.

“Close the gates. Close the gates immediately.”

As soon as the leader of the team shouted, the border guards closed the gates straightaway without any hesitation.

Su Ying’s brows twitched violently as she looked at the closed city gates. She was just about to leave the city, yet the gates were being shut now!

Su Ying took a deep breath and quickly suppressed her rising anger.

“There are spies trying to escape. Everyone who wants to exit the border pa.s.s has to wait. After we have checked your carriage to make sure there are no problems, you guys go back to the border city first and wait. We will inform you when the gates will be opened again.”

“Sir, we have to rush back to do trading. We can’t keep these goods for long. With each day’s delay, it’s one day’s worth of losses.” The merchant with the goods carriage at the front of the line called out with a bitter face, but the soldiers simply ignored him. Compared to the goods that the merchant would lose, catching the spy who had harmed the kingdom was more important.

Su Ying looked at the closed city gates. It wasn’t impossible for her to force her way out, but if she did this at this place, she would be treated as the spy that the Jin State wanted to capture. If that happened, she would be pursued by the Jin State and give herself unnecessary trouble.

She frowned slightly and decided to wait and see after pondering for a moment. This border pa.s.s would not be closed forever.

A soldier came up to Su Ying to check her belongings.

Su Ying’s luggage was very simple. She only had two sets of clothes and some dry food. Everything she carried was visible to the naked eye. The soldiers did not waste any time with her and went to the back after checking her.

All the people who were about to exit the border pa.s.s were waiting at the gate. After the inspection was over, they were allowed to go to the border city closest to the gate.

Su Ying mounted her horse and planned to rest in the border city for the night before making a decision.

It was about three to four miles from the border pa.s.s to the border city. On the way there, many people who wanted to leave the city were cursing and swearing as they headed back.

“Motherf*cker, this batch is fresh goods. With this weather, won’t it become rotten after a few days? Who will compensate me for the money I lost?”

Su Ying turned to look at the other party’s horse carriage, only to see blood dripping down the carriage, leaving a trail all the way..
