Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The Crime of Gender 85

Yan Jie thought very well, but Qin Shuangshuang didn’t know Yan Jie’s intentions. Fortunately, she knew Yan Jie wasn’t an enemy, so she held back her strength during the exchange to avoid accidentally hurting him. But it was exactly what she feared that happened! She was careful, but the other party actively sought death by sticking his head under her palm!

Luckily, Qin Shuangshuang noticed quickly and retracted her strength just in time, but ended up giving him a crisp slap! Otherwise, even without intending to, she would have shattered Yan Jie’s brains into mushy tofu pudding!

Yan Jie, who initially thought he was facing death but only got a slap, was a bit dumbfounded. Qin Shuangshuang, on the other hand, broke into a cold sweat from nearly killing her country’s City Defense General by accident!

After the shock came endless anger surging through her heart. Although Qin Shuangshuang had wanted to beat up Yan Jie before, it was more out of temporary anger. But this time, she was truly furious. She kicked over the stunned Yan Jie, who was still in disbelief at not being dead, then stepped forward and started a relentless beating!

Yan Jie was beaten by Qin Shuangshuang to the point that he couldn’t stand up. Every time he got up, he was kicked over by Qin Shuangshuang before he could stand and was beaten again. Initially, he endured it, but later on, he couldn’t bear the pain and started to beg for mercy.

Actually, Yan Jie suddenly realized something because, despite being beaten for so long by Qin Shuangshuang, he only felt flesh pain without any internal injuries! If Qin Shuangshuang really were a barbarian spy, why would she show such restraint on him?

This led Yan Jie to recall that when they first met, Qin Shuangshuang casually said that one sentence, ”From the border city, making some extra cash on the barbarian side, exchanged for silver, and rescued these women and children by the way.”

The previous bad premonition turned into reality. Yan Jie suddenly realized that what this young girl said might be true, that she really wasn’t a barbarian spy but a headhunter from the border city! This realization made Yan Jie’s face burn hot with shame!

Yan Jie wanted to explain to Qin Shuangshuang, but who knew that Qin Shuangshuang was truly angry and had no intention of listening to him. Every time Yan Jie opened his mouth, he was beaten into screams by Qin Shuangshuang before he could utter a word.

During the beating of Yan Jie, Qin Shuangshuang seemed to hear someone nearby advising, seemingly saying, ”Young lady, just vent your anger a bit, please spare our General Yan!”

And someone else said, ”It’s alright, young lady, hit him as you please. General Yan went too far, but be careful not to cripple him, or he won’t be able to fight against the barbarians!”

Even those gloating were saying, ”Oh dear, General Yan really hit an iron board this time! He used to look down on us scholars for being weak, now he’s getting a taste of weakness himself. Truly satisfying, time for a big drink!”

Although this guy’s words were dripping with sarcasm, his tone didn’t really carry any malice!

While beating up Yan Jie, Qin Shuangshuang was furious, and although she heard she ignored those voices, until suddenly someone grabbed the hand she was using to beat Yan Jie.

A familiar voice sounded in Qin Shuangshuang’s ear, ”Oh dear, what’s going on here? Why are you fighting with Brother Yan? If Brother Yan offended you, I’ll make him apologize. Considering how badly you’ve beaten him already, please spare him this time!”

This voice finally pulled Qin Shuangshuang out of her furious and fearful state. She took two deep breaths, glaring angrily at Yan Jie, who lay beaten and bruised on the ground, before looking at the unexpected guest who dared to grab her hand, her little benefactor Qi Pengju.

Simultaneously, Qin Shuangshuang noticed the difference around her. Previously tense soldiers now put down their weapons and were watching the commotion in layers upon layers!

In front of the soldiers stood three men dressed as scholars not far away, and those women she had rescued were now clad in clothes, even though they were men’s outer garments they hid the body well enough, no longer using grass for cover.

Perhaps the confusion in Qin Shuangshuang’s eyes was too obvious, prompting those three scholar-dressed men to step forward and explain the cause and effect to her!

The matter had to start with the identities of these three people. Although they were scholars, they were employed in the military as military advisors, all exceptionally intelligent.

The soldier who reported on Qin Shuangshuang’s movements to Yan Jie happened to run into the three early-rising advisors afterward, recounting the story once more to them. Upon hearing it, the three advisors hurried over to see what kind of person this alleged spy was!

These three advisors weren’t distrusting Yan Jie’s judgment but felt they were more proficient at psychological manipulation and extracting intelligence from interrogations, so they came to help Yan Jie.

When they arrived, they found all the soldiers tensely forming a circle. Inside the circle, their Martial Champion, the top martial-arts defending general, Yan Jie, was being one-sidedly beaten up by a girl who looked like she was only in her teens.

And not far from this chaotic scene was a large group of Hu Ma loaded with food supplies, along with several large carts of oddly dressed people? Mainly these people were covered entirely in grass, making it impossible to tell if they were men or women, barbarians or Da Ran people!

Initially, the three were a bit nervous, thinking Yan Jie had met his match at the hands of barbarian spies. But after watching for a while, they realized something was wrong. Although they were scholars unfamiliar with martial arts, they had stayed in a military filled with warriors long enough to have a keen eye for watching combat.

They noticed that this girl, who they initially thought was a barbarian spy, was hitting Yan Jie with an angry and fierce expression, yet Yan Jie remained lively, able to quickly get back up no matter how many times the girl kicked him down, clearly she was holding back.

To say that the brutal barbarians would hold back against Da Ran people, the three advisors absolutely did not believe! So they found a small military leader to ask questions, and soon the whole story was roughly clarified by the three of them.

For safety, they went to ask the nervous women, who, though tense, explained clearly, describing their home, village customs, and when they were captured by the barbarians. Upon detailed inquiry, the truth was revealed—it was all a misunderstanding!

Afterward, the three generals asked the surrounding soldiers and learned of Yan Jie’s suicidal act, understanding entirely why Qin Shuangshuang was so furious! They took with them a group of soldiers, gloating while watching the show, and insincerely pleaded with Qin Shuangshuang on Yan Jie’s behalf!
