Chapter 1237: Imminent Crisis
Ji You asked all the questions Shaun wanted to ask, both to divert Shaun’s attention and to relieve He Yu’s pressure.
He Yu, this kid, his acting skills are actually quite average. If he can’t withstand the pressure and exposes himself, it will be a complete loss.
Upon hearing Ji You’s questions, the pressure in He Yu’s heart suddenly decreased, and the slightly chaotic thoughts quickly got sorted out. She answered all the questions Ji You raised, one by one.
He Yu said, "Jiang Sen and I have different opinions. I want to retreat immediately, but he doesn’t want to. He wants to sneak into the enemy camp to kill the enemy, so we had a disagreement. The order I received was to return within 20 minutes, so I didn’t wait for Jiang Sen and went back directly. Unexpectedly, I hadn’t gone far, just 500 meters, when I heard there was fighting over at the enemy camp. It was Jiang Sen entangled with two of their people, clearly showing signs of being overwhelmed. I originally wanted to leave immediately, but couldn’t harden my heart, so I ran towards the enemy’s camp. I had barely run a few steps when an arrow flew towards me, almost shaving my head off. That’s when I discovered there were archers in the enemy camp!"
In the era of cold weapons, archers are almost the strongest combat force.
He Yu clutched her heart, still scared, and said, "I knew this wasn’t good. We were ambushed by the enemy. They must have discovered us and deliberately exposed only two people to confuse us. In fact, there were at least five people guarding their camp at that time."
Hearing He Yu’s words, Ji You frowned and asked, "The enemy outnumbers you, how did you escape?"
He Yu raised her hand, wiped her face, and pointed to the clothes behind her with a small hole in them, saying, "As soon as I realized this wasn’t good, I dared not linger. I immediately started running, but the enemy shot arrows quickly. One arrow aimed directly at my back head. I acted decisively, lifted my jacket up to cover my head, and rolled. Only then did I escape.
That’s how the jacket got a tear."
Listening to He Yu’s account, Shaun looked at the hole in her jacket and found it indeed existed, so he stayed silent.
