243: There is an ambush!

"Lin Yue, your death is at hand!" Bru laughed maniacally!

Immediately, countless fireballs suddenly appeared around Lin Yue, and the surrounding torches were lit one by one. A crimson fire dragon, baring its fangs, coiled around them, trapping them in the center. They were surrounded!

"An ambush!" Xing Daorong exclaimed in surprise.

"No need to say it, we all saw it," Lin Yue said calmly, then smiled at Bru:

"The foolish boy knows how to scheme now, eh?"

"Heh heh, to deal with a cunning fox, one must become even more cunning.

Although this is unbecoming of a warrior, I don't think you'll mind, because you're not a warrior at all!" Bru sneered.

Although Lin Yue appeared calm, he was very flustered inside!

"Why don't I ever learn," Lin Yue cursed inwardly. In the current situation, he could only stall for as long as possible, hoping She Jian would arrive to save them.

Lin Yue glanced around with his peripheral vision, noticing that beneath the torches were longbows poised to fire, and cold, deadly arrows were aimed at them. Enemies surrounded them on all sides; no matter how skilled one's martial arts, the only outcome was to be shot into a porcupine.

"My Lord, I can take you out," Zhao Yun said softly at this moment.

"How do we get out?" Lin Yue's spirits lifted.

"Fly!" Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

"Fly? Zi Long, you're not joking, are you?" Lin Yue was dumbfounded, thinking, isn't this a high-martial arts game? How can you fly?

Zhao Yun saw Lin Yue's doubts and softly explained, "Once a military general reaches the Legendary General realm, he can cross mountains and rivers as if walking on flat ground. Using 'qi,' he can leap into the air, and a brief flight is possible.

However, Zi Long has just stepped into the realm of a Legendary General, and currently, he can only carry one person."

Lin Yue suddenly recalled when Lu Bu and Right Great General General Meng Tian fought, both of them also briefly walked on air, accompanied by thunder in broad daylight. It seemed this game had once again refreshed his understanding.

But if he could only save one person, what about Xing Daorong, Liu Sandao, and General Yang Ye?

Moreover, he had resurrection, but he had never heard of recruited historical military generals being able to come back from the dead!

These three must not die; even if he died, they could not!

"No, if we go, we go together!" Lin Yue said firmly.

Then he swallowed, forced himself to calm down, and burst into laughter.

His loud laughter echoed across the plain under the night sky like a night owl, leaving Bru momentarily bewildered.

"What are you laughing at?" Bru asked.

"I'm laughing at your stupidity, and at Aikala's lack of strategy!" Lin Yue laughed.

Bru was not as enraged as expected, but instead asked, "What does this have to do with Elder Aikala?"

"Isn't this Aikala's scheme? Don't tell me you came up with it yourself," Lin Yue said with a laugh, his face full of disbelief!

"I came up with this myself!" Bru roared, much like a child trying to prove himself.

"Your IQ could come up with a scheme like this?" Lin Yue looked suspicious, constantly scrutinizing Bru.

"Hmph, what reason do I have to lie to a dying man?" Bru sneered, "All's fair in war. It seems I've always overestimated you; I didn't expect you to be such an idiot."

"Who's the idiot?" Lin Yue feigned anger.

"The idiot is you!" Bru burst into laughter, finally getting his revenge for days of anger towards Lin Yue!

But seeing Lin Yue and the others all laughing, he felt a bit suspicious, then suddenly realized!

"Lin Yue, you're asking for death!" Bru said viciously, raising his arm. Lin Yue knew that once his arm swung down, it would be a volley of arrows!

"Wait! Wait, Bru..." Lin Yue shouted anxiously.

"Do you have any last words? Think carefully, I'll only give you one sentence's worth of time." Bru looked at Lin Yue coldly, not intending to engage in further verbal sparring with him. Getting rid of Lin Yue quickly was the priority.

"Your wife is pregnant!" Lin Yue suddenly blurted out after a moment of thought.

"Lin Yue! I'll kill you!" Bru's anger flared, and he immediately swung his arm down. He wished he could personally kill Lin Yue right away!

No, this isn't how I planned it! Lin Yue thought to himself, then he remembered, last time he seemed to have said something about 'very moist,' and Bru took it seriously!

"It's yours! It's your child!" Lin Yue quickly explained.

Bru looked at Lin Yue coldly and said, "How are you sure it's mine?"

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief when Bru didn't act immediately, then unhappily said, "That's your wife, how can I prove it? Do I need to prove it?!"

"Last time you said..." Bru looked suspicious.

"You believe everything I say? I only saw her from afar once.

Besides, I respect you as a man, so it's impossible for me to do such a thing to her. This also goes against my principles as a person!" Lin Yue started spouting nonsense.

Bru pondered quietly upon hearing this. They were not close, and Lin Yue couldn't clearly see his specific expression. The scene was momentarily silent.

At this moment, Xing Daorong quietly asked, "My Lord, is his wife really pregnant?"

"Why are you asking me? I don't know either. But she has to be pregnant right now, otherwise we're in trouble," Lin Yue said with a grave expression.

"So, is she or isn't she pregnant?" Even in this situation, Xing Daorong's burning curiosity for gossip was still ignited.

Lin Yue didn't answer. He kept staring at Bru. The longer Bru thought, the more time he could buy!

"You have five people, and I want five people," Bru said in a deep voice.

"Which five people do you want?" Lin Yue asked.

"My father, my mother, my wife, and Right Great General, Left Grand Commandant!" Bru said in a deep voice.

"No, that's six people," Lin Yue calmly shook his head.

"How is that six people?" Bru glared at Lin Yue, like a tiger's low growl.

"Isn't the one in your wife's belly a person?" Lin Yue said.

Bru was speechless for a moment, then angrily said, "Are you haggling with me?"

"It could even be twins..." Lin Yue muttered to himself.

"Enough!" Bru roared, then threw a bag at Lin Yue's feet.

"These are Breath-Holding Pills. After consuming them, you won't be able to use 'qi' for a day. Once you've all eaten them, we'll exchange prisoners," Bru said in a deep voice.

Lin Yue picked up the bag and took out the Breath-Holding Pills.

"My Lord, are we really eating them?" Xing Daorong asked.

"Nonsense, of course we're not eating them.

Our combined worth might not even be enough to exchange for King Baiyang, let alone four people at once? Are you dreaming?

Besides, Great Qin only has generals who die in battle, not generals who surrender.

If we were truly captured, which of us would still have the face to continue living?" Lin Yue said softly.

"Why wouldn't we have the face to live? I think it's fine," Xing Daorong had barely spoken when he felt several gazes on him. He shrank his neck and whispered, "Then what do we do?"

"Where is She Jian?" Lin Yue asked softly.

"General She Jian is on his way; he'll be here in about half an incense stick's time," Liu Sandao said softly. Everyone had him shielded behind them; he had been using the communication token to contact She Jian and the others.

"We're about to take the pills; we don't even have half an incense stick's time!" Xing Daorong was a bit anxious.

"Shut up, watch me," Lin Yue softly reprimanded, then turned his head and smiled:

"Bru, this stuff isn't poison, is it?"

Bru laughed in extreme anger, raising his right arm again. Instantly, the sound of bows being strung rang out continuously.

"No, no, no, I'll eat it, I'll eat it!" Lin Yue said anxiously, his brain frantically spinning, thinking of a countermeasure!

"No, you don't need to eat it. You're an unranked nobody; where would you even have 'qi'?" Bru sneered.

After hearing this, two black lines appeared on Lin Yue's forehead. So it was for Ranked Military Generals to eat. He didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.

"Three!" Bru began to roar. He had lost his patience!

"Two!"

"Wait!" Lin Yue spoke up. Why was Bru suddenly so impatient?

But Bru ignored his words.

"One!"

Just as Lin Yue was about to make a move, a sound came!

"Rumble rumble rumble..."
