The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 275 Little Boy

"Second Prince, look!" Feng Lieyang pointed to the distance, his face full of surprise.

In the distance, they saw a dark shadow approaching them rapidly!

Lin Congyun was cheered up and immediately hid his body.

The black shadow soon came near them, but what surprised Lin Congyun was that the black shadow did not stop, but passed directly past where they were hiding.

Looking at the black shadow going away, Lin Congyun frowned slightly, his heart full of doubts.

Could it be that the black shadow was not coming towards them?

Thinking of this, Lin Congyun immediately took her people to follow. She wanted to see who that black shadow was!

Following the guidance of the black shadow, Lin Congyun and his group quietly went deep into the dense forest. The night was as dark as ink, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the rustling of leaves and the rapid breathing of the people could be heard.

Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and several hidden arrows shot out from the forest, aiming directly at Lin Congyun and his group. It was obviously a premeditated trap.

Lin Congyun was quick-witted and dodged the fatal blow by leaning sideways, while shouting loudly: "Be careful!"

Her voice echoed in the night sky, alerting her companions.

Feng Lieyang and others reacted quickly and drew their swords to resist, but the rain of arrows was dense and the situation was critical.

Lin Congyun was secretly alert. Although these arrows were not poisoned, they were very powerful. It was obvious that the opponent was no ordinary person.

She was agile, shuttling between the rain of arrows, swinging her sword from time to time to cut off the flying arrows, while at the same time directing Feng Lieyang and others to change their formation to reduce casualties.

"Break out in separate groups, don't get trapped here!" Lin Congyun's voice was calm and firm. She knew very well that if they were surrounded in this dense forest, the consequences would be disastrous.

Upon hearing this, Feng Lieyang immediately led a group of people to advance to the left wing, trying to attract the enemy's attention.

Lin Congyun led the remaining men to retreat to the right rear, intending to go around the enemy's rear and find an opportunity to break the deadlock.

In the darkness of night, the two sides engaged in a fierce chase and counter-chase.

Lin Congyun led the team deep in the dense forest, shuttling between patches of light and shadow.

Just as the group was about to break through the siege and find a glimmer of hope, Lin Congyun's gaze inadvertently swept to the side, and an unusual faint light caught her attention.

She quietly slowed down her pace and approached slowly under the cover of moonlight and tree shadows.

The light came from a little boy curled up beside a tree root. Although his clothes were a little tattered, it was still obvious that he was wearing brocade clothes. His face was covered with dust and dried blood. The jade pendant on his chest was flashing a faint but warm light, which just attracted Lin Congyun's attention in the darkness.

The little boy's breathing was weak, his eyes were closed, and he fell into a deep coma. Only the faint rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.

Lin Congyun's heart softened involuntarily, and an indescribable feeling of pity arose spontaneously.

She looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention, then quickly brought the little boy into the space.

As soon as the little boy was put into the space, Feng Lieyang came over and said, "Second Prince, hurry up, we have found a way out."

In the chaos just now, Feng Lieyang did not notice that Lin Congyun saved a little boy.

Upon hearing this, Lin Congyun immediately took his men to follow. The group did not dare to stop and quickly disappeared into the night.

Lin Congyun and others did not stop until they were completely out of the pursuit range of those people.

Looking at the breathless guards, Lin Congyun waved his hand and said, "Everyone has worked hard tonight. Let's take a rest here first."

Feng Lieyang took out a water bag and handed it to Lin Congyun, "Second Prince, drink some water."

Lin Congyun took the water bag, tilted his head back and took a few sips, only then did he feel his dry throat better.

"Deputy General Feng, do you think what happened tonight was too strange?" she asked softly, with a serious tone.

Feng Lieyang frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Indeed, the appearance of the black shadow and the trap that followed seemed to be carefully arranged. However, our trip was originally to investigate the enemy situation, so perhaps this is an unavoidable risk."

Lin Congyun shook his head, his eyes deep: "No, I always feel that the black shadow is not simply trying to lure us into a trap. It seems to be avoiding something, or perhaps, guiding us."

Feng Lieyang was surprised when he heard this, and then he nodded in agreement: "Second Prince, what you said makes sense, but who is this person? Why did he treat us like this? Is there a traitor among us who leaked our whereabouts?"

Lin Congyun shook his head and denied this speculation: "It's unlikely. Our whereabouts are extremely secretive, so it shouldn't have been leaked from us."

At this point, she paused, and then ordered: "Don't make public what happened tonight. We will discuss it after we return."

Feng Lieyang nodded in agreement, turned around and asked the others to remain on guard to ensure the safety of the surroundings.

It was late at night and everything was silent. Only the occasional chirping of birds in the distance broke the silence.

Lin Congyun stood up and ordered the troops to set off: "Deputy General Feng, pass the order down and tell the troops to remain highly alert and not to move too fast."

Upon hearing this, Feng Lieyang quickly conveyed the order.

After returning to the Second Prince's Mansion, Lin Congyun did not rush to rest, but walked into the study alone, telling the servants not to stay here.

In the study, the flickering candlelight stretched Lin Congyun's figure. She sat at the desk, thinking of the little boy she had saved before, and then she flashed into the space.

Arriving at the cabin, Lin Congyun lit the oil lamp. In the dim light, the little boy lay quietly on the wooden bed, his face still pale.

She slowly walked to the wooden bed and carefully checked the boy's injuries.

There were several knife wounds of varying depths on the abdomen, which made people feel distressed.

Lin Congyun took out a small porcelain bottle and sprinkled the powder inside evenly on the little boy's wound.

The moment the powder touched the wound, the little boy frowned slightly, as if he felt some pain, but then he relaxed and fell into a deeper sleep.

Seeing this, Lin Congyun felt relieved and bandaged the wound carefully with a clean cloth, being very gentle.

After doing all this, she did not leave immediately, but sat beside the bed, quietly looking at the sleeping face of the little boy, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

Was the appearance of this little boy a coincidence, or was it intentional?

As Lin Congyun's gaze slowly moved downwards, she inadvertently noticed a jade pendant hanging on the little boy's chest.

The jade pendant is translucent and finely carved. There seems to be a pattern engraved in the center, and it exudes a faint warm luster. This jade pendant is definitely not an ordinary piece.

She gently took the jade pendant out of the boy's clothes, and upon closer inspection she found that it had a dragon pattern on it.
