Bai Yin went to help Lang Po, and the two of them worked together to break through the encirclement.
Unexpectedly, many guards armed with bows and arrows appeared around them, shooting at the assassins.
The man in the scholar's robe was already riddled with injuries, and could not hold on much longer. He resisted with all his might, unwilling to admit defeat. Even if he had to use his last breath, he could not fall.
Several arrows flew towards him. He could not avoid them, and a few swords pierced his body.
He fell to one knee, his face pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The guards were about to take his life.
Suddenly —
Seven or eight people dressed in black jumped out from the crowd. These people were highly skilled in martial arts, and they quickly subdued the archers.
Two black-clothed men grabbed the Confucian-robed man's arm and took him away.
A few more masked men joined the fray. Na Yan was furious. He held Song Zhi in his arms and shouted, "Kill! Kill them all! If anyone escapes, this Prince will take your lives!"
At that moment, several men in black took something out of their clothes and threw it on the ground. White smoke billowed, obscuring everyone's vision.
It was a complete mess!
One of the men in black quickly found Bai Yin and Lang Po. "Run!"
The voice was very familiar.
Lian Que?
Bai Yin and Lang Po did not have time to be shocked. The most important thing right now was to escape.
The two of them fled together with the group of men in black.
Soon, they disappeared without a trace.
The white smoke was very thick, and it spread wantonly in the air, causing the commoners to panic even more.
Ji Yunshu could not see the situation on the other side of the river. She asked Jing Rong, "Then we..."
"Let's leave this place first."
Jing Rong pulled her hand and quickly left. However, the crowd was in an uproar, and they blocked the sides of the bridge.
It was packed to the brim.
Many people even fell to the ground, and were trampled back and forth.
Ji Yunshu saw a child fall to the ground.
She struggled free from Jing Rong's hand. "Wait!"
He hurriedly turned back and pulled the fallen child up from the ground.
The child cried, "Mother, mother..."
Ji Yunshu gently patted her. "It's okay, don't be afraid."
"I want mother."
How could she find her mother in such a chaotic situation?
Fortunately, the child's mother heard the crying and ran over. She found him, pulled him over with one hand, carried him in her arms, and ran away.
By the time Ji Yunshu snapped out of her daze and went to look for Jing Rong, she found herself squeezed into a crowd. She couldn't see him at all.
The white smoke gradually drifted over, and his vision was blocked.
"Jing Rong?"
She shouted.
No one answered!
Suddenly —
A large hand reached out from behind her.
Covering her mouth.
He forcefully locked her shoulders!
He couldn't move.
"Oh …"
Unable to break free, she was dragged away.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Yunshu's figure had disappeared from his sight.
He began to search frantically.
But there were too many people around.
"Young Master Jing," someone called him.
A man suddenly appeared beside him. "Please come with me."
He, who was on the verge of collapse, didn't even think before he grabbed the man's neck with bloodshot eyes.
There was a murderous look in his eyes. "Where is she?"
The man didn't expect this. He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Young Master. Ji … Teacher Ji is fine. You … you just have to come with me."
Jing Rong's sharp eyes sized him up.
He didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
He let go of him.
"If she loses even a hair, I'll take your life."
…
After the men in black, Lang Po and Bai Yin escaped, they went to an abandoned house.
As soon as they entered, Lian Que pulled the black cloth off his face. Bai Yin grabbed him by the collar. "Who are you people? What do you want? "
Questioning!
Lian Que knew that he must be full of confusion.
But he couldn't explain too much at this time.
At this time …
"Big Brother, Young Master Lin is seriously injured," Lian Que's companion said.
Lian Que pushed Bai Yin aside and strode quickly towards the man in the scholar's robe who was addressed as' Young Master Lin '.
The man was covered in blood!
There were even several arrows stuck in his body!
He was on the verge of death!
Lian Que said to the person beside him, "Bring the medicine."
The man raised his hand. "No need. I can't live."
"Young Master Lin …"
"You must have been sent by the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom." The man panted. He clearly knew the identity of these men in black.
Lian Que nodded. The man smiled bitterly. "It's rare that the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom still remembers my Lin family. For the sake of the throne and to prevent others from rebelling, King Huyi annihilated my entire family. My parents died tragically. Now … I'm the only one left. Before coming to Gaoding, I've already made up my mind that if I can't … I can't kill King Huyi and his son.
I'd rather die than live an ignoble life in order to avenge King Huyi and his son. "
His tone was filled with despair.
Lian Que said, "Stop talking. Let me pull the arrow out first."
The man held his hand and shook his head. "It's no use …"
"The Marquis wanted me to send you out of Gaoding alive, so I can't let you die. Moreover, you haven't gotten your revenge yet. If you die, who will avenge the Lin family? "
When the man heard this, the despair in his eyes reignited. He was filled with the desire to live.
He slowly let go of Lian Que's hand.
Therefore, Lian Que carefully pulled out the sharp arrow from his body, applied medicine on it, and bandaged the wound.
However, the man's face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss.
Fortunately, he managed to keep his life! Lian Que said, "It's no longer safe here. You must leave Gaoding immediately. At this time, there must be more people at the city gates searching for you. I'll send someone to hide you in a coffin and carry you out. When you leave Gaoding City, the Marquis has already arranged a place for you to stay.
Rest well. "
The man nodded.
Before he left, he grabbed Lian Que's hand and said gratefully, "Please thank the Marquis for me."
"Mm."
After the man was carried away, Lian Que looked at the surprised Bai Yin and Lang Po.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom?
King Huyi?
Exterminated family?
What … did all of this mean?
Lian Que took a deep breath and said, "You will understand all of this very soon."
… …
After Ji Yunshu was taken away, she boarded a horse carriage.
There were two men sitting in the carriage.
She looked at them warily, but didn't sense any danger from them.
"You … where are you taking me?"
The two men didn't speak.
She looked outside and realized that the carriage had left the city. It wasn't on the main road, but was moving unhurriedly on a small road. Finally, it stopped at a certain place.
One of the men in the carriage said, "Miss Ji, we've arrived."
She was clearly dressed as a man, but these people could tell that she was a woman!
Just who were they?
She followed them down the carriage and found herself in a forest. There was no light around her, and it was pitch-black. She could only hear the whooshing of the cold wind. It was a terrifying scene.
