Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Assassination Attempt (1)
An hour later, Duan Yixin put the food into the bamboo basket. She also put leftover meat, offal, and skin into her warehouse. Before leaving, Duan Yixin put Liushiliu’s portion into a bamboo basket and placed it on the wooden table.

After that, she carried the bamboo basket out of the house and walked to the farm. When she arrived, Duan Yixin saw that Ji Hongwei and the others were digging trenches.

Looking at their sweat-soaked clothes, she felt that these people hired by Chi Junheng were really honest and hard-working. It would do her no harm to provide a little bit of food for these people since she was sure that they would not demand more from her.

With this in mind, Duan Yixin called them, “Everyone, come and have something to eat first.”

As soon as Duan Yixin said this, one of them looked up and saw the bamboo basket in her hand. Seeing Duan Yixin go to the shed and take out plates of food from the bamboo basket, the man swallowed his saliva and then looked at Fu Zhifu.

“Uncle Fu, what should we do?” He asked in a low voice.

Fu Zhifu and others also stared at the food and swallowed hard. Fu Zhifu was silent for a moment and said, “Jingzhun, don’t your younger sister and Miss Duan have a very good relationship?”

Lian Jing nodded and said, “Yes, but I rarely talk to Miss Duan.”

Hearing his answer, the only woman in the group said, “My younger brother also used to play with Xin Niang. He said that Xin Niang was very friendly and often shared food with him and the other children. I think we should just accept her offer this time.”

As soon as she said this, another worker asked, “Yun Niang, are you sure it’s fine for us to accept her food? After the bandit attack, everyone is struggling. She lives alone, so it won’t be good if we eat her food, right? Moreover, I don’t have anything to use to pay for her food if she wants us to pay later.”

Seeing that Duan Yixin had taken out all the food from the bamboo basket, Ji Hongwei looked at the man and said, “Elder Brother Yuhe, since Elder Sister Yixin invited us, I think she wouldn’t mind us eating her food and wouldn’t ask us to pay for it later. If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. I will go first.”

After saying that, Ji Hongwei walked to the shed and sat next to Duan Yixin. When Huang Yuhe saw this, he swallowed his saliva. After thinking for a moment, he looked at the others and said, “I will go too.”

With Ji Hongwei and Huang Yuhe taking the lead, Fu Zhifu, Lian Jingzhun, and Fang Yayun also walked into the shed. When everyone sat under the shed, Duan Yixin smiled and said, “After lunch, let’s continue working hard.”

After saying that, Duan Yixin picked up a steamed bun with her chopsticks and a piece of braised pork. Seeing this, Ji Hongwei picked up his bowl and chopsticks and said, “Thank you, Elder Sister Yixin. I will work harder so we can finish digging the trench today.”

Duan Yixin nodded to him and smiled slightly, “I have made enough food for everyone, so you can eat without worry.”

When she said this, the others also picked up their bowls and chopsticks.

While the six of them were eating a delicious lunch, Liang Jiaying was running for her life inside the dense forest. Liang Jiaying pushed aside the vegetation blocking her way and looked back from time to time. Seeing that the masked men were still chasing her, she gritted her teeth and ran as fast as she could.

After being chased by these mysterious men for more than an hour, Liang Jiaying felt that her lungs were about to explode due to lack of oxygen. Her breathing was loud in the silent forest, but all she could hear was her fast heartbeat.

Just as she was running through the bushes, Liang Jiaying suddenly tripped over a branch and fell heavily to the ground.

Thud!

“Ah!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The moment she fell to the ground, several hidden weapons flew past her body.

Stab! Stab! Stab!

Liang Jiaying’s eyes widened in fear when she saw the hidden weapon deeply embedded in the tree. She shuddered when she realized that she had just narrowly escaped death again.

If she hadn’t stumbled and fallen, those hidden weapons would have struck her back and sent her to the afterlife. Liang Jiaying felt a chill down her spine, pushed herself up, and forced her tired legs to move forward.

While running for her life, Liang Jiaying’s mind was racing rapidly. She tried to remember if there was a plot in the novel where the female lead was hunted by a group of assassins.

This morning, Liang Jiaying had just returned from the Tang family’s house, and she was in a bad mood after not being able to see Tang Zizheng again. Ever since Tang Zizheng and Duan Yixin broke off their marriage engagement and Tang Zizheng was punished by his grandfather, it has been very difficult for Liang Jiaying to see him again.

Liang Jiaying remembered that the female lead had a relationship with Tang Zizheng before she met the male lead. However, due to the fierce pursuit of the male lead, the female lead finally left Tang Zizheng and became the male lead’s lover.

Because he couldn’t let go of his feelings for the female lead, Tang Zizheng studied hard and finally won the title of number one scholar and became a third-rank official in the imperial court. When the female lead meets him again in the imperial capital city, their past feelings return, and their relationship becomes ambiguous.

Unfortunately, due to the male lead’s unparalleled status, power, and wealth, Tang Zizheng still failed to win the female lead back. Because of his unwillingness, Tang Zizheng’s character gradually changed and blackened as he climbed up the official ranks.
