At that moment, time seemed to slow down in Qin Yining's eyes. Everything around her could no longer be seen clearly. She screamed and reached out to pull Ji Yun back, but her body was heavy now, and her stomach was in the way. She could not save Ji Yun as quickly as before, and could only watch as the sharp arrow headed straight for Ji Yun.
Ji Yun could have dodged it. However, Qin Yining was behind her, so how could she dodge? Moreover, Tian Jizi's blade was as white as snow, and it was about to reach her in the blink of an eye.
Ji Yun gritted her teeth, and her gaze suddenly turned cold!
She did not retreat or give way. Instead, she flicked the soft sword in her hand, and the soft sword that was originally wrapped around her waist like a silver belt, pierced straight towards Tian Jizi's throat at this moment.
Even if she had to exchange a life for a life, it was still a gain for her!
Tian Jizi did not expect Qin Yining to have such a loyal servant by his side. Seeing the tip of the sword coming towards her, she panicked and tried to dodge. However, Tian Jizi did not know martial arts. She was so frightened that her heartbeat quickened, and she tried to retreat in a panic.
Meanwhile, the arrow that was aimed at Ji Yun was already in front of her.
At the critical moment, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of her nimbly. He flicked away Ji Yun's soft sword that was aimed at Tian Jizi, and waved his other hand in front of Ji Yun. Under the vibration of his wide sleeves, the arrow that was like a hot knife through butter was deflected to the side. With a "thud", the arrow buried itself in a thick tree, and half of the arrow's body was embedded in it.
"Young Master Mu!"
Qin Yining was pleasantly surprised and worried at the same time. He quickly pulled Ji Yun to his side to protect her. Mu Jinghu restrained Ji Yun, protected Tian Jizi, and saved Ji Yun. Qin Yining still could not see through his position.
Ji Yun had almost lost her life just now, and now she was so scared that her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Mu Jinghu turned around and greeted Tian Jizi, "Martial Uncle."
Tian Jizi was almost killed by Ji Yun just now and was still in shock. She should be happy that she was saved, but Mu Jinghu also saved Ji Yun.
Her face darkened as she reprimanded, "Get out of the way."
"Martial Uncle. Why did you drug me?
”
Why? Wasn't it because she was afraid that he would ruin things?
Tian Jizi looked up and glared at Mu Jinghu. He gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of the way, don't you understand?"
Mu Jinghu stood rooted to the ground like a wooden stake. He lowered his head and said, "Uncle, please stop."
Seeing that Mu Jinghu was still the same as before, Qin Yining heaved a sigh of relief. Even Ji Yun and Bing Tang were full of hope. Mu Jinghu's martial arts were unfathomable. As long as he was willing to help, Tian Jizi would definitely not be able to do anything today.
"Stop? What do you know! " Tian Jizi was furious. His eyes were red as he roared, "Back then, Master taught you martial arts so that you could protect me! Why are you siding with an outsider now? Don't tell me you can't bear to take her life like that Lu guy? Or are you like Ji Yun too? Is that Pang Xiao worth all of you protecting his wife?! "
"Martial Uncle, Pang Zhixi is my friend. He once entrusted me to protect the Qin Clan. I can't let you kill her."
"You!"
Tian Jizi glared at Mu Jinghu. His eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and said, "What if I must kill her? Are you going to betray your sect? "
Mu Jinghu said helplessly, "Martial Uncle, the Qin Clan is just a woman. Why must you kill her? Moreover, she is pregnant now. Killing her is equivalent to killing three people. You are too cruel! "
"I'm cruel? You don't know anything. Don't meddle in our affairs! "Tian Jizi couldn't take it anymore. He pointed the knife at Mu Jinghu and said," Get out of my way! "
"Martial Uncle." Mu Jinghu lifted his robe and knelt on the wet ground. "Martial Uncle, please don't kill anymore."
"Unfilial son, I'll kill you first!"
！”
Tian Jizi roared angrily. He raised the knife with both hands and slashed it at Mu Jinghu.
Mu Jinghu knelt on the ground. He raised his hand and waved his sleeve. Tian Jizi felt a strong gust of wind in front of him. Clang! There was a crisp sound of metal. The knife in Tian Jizi's hand was broken at the base. Tian Jizi only had the handle of the knife left in his hand. He was shaken and staggered two steps back before falling to the ground.
The archer in the distance saw this and quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow at Qin Yining.
Mu Jinghu stood up and unhurriedly waved the broken blade casually. The arrow was split into two halves and fell to the ground due to the loss of strength.
The archer did not expect Mu Jinghu to have such a skill. He was furious and wanted to draw his bow again. However, a silver light flashed and he felt a chill in his chest.
He looked down and saw that Mu Jinghu's broken knife was stuck in his chest. Mu Jinghu stood in front of Qin Yining and the rest with his hands behind his back. He looked relaxed.
The archer's eyes widened in horror. His tall body fell to the ground and he twitched as he stopped breathing.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps and the sound of horse hooves. Three of the guards that Ji Zeyu had arranged for Qin Yining rushed over.
"Princess Consort!"
The three of them were injured. They held their knives and stood in front of Qin Yining. They looked at Tian Jizi and Mu Jinghu warily.
Qin Yining's eyes dimmed. He knew that the remaining two would not be able to come. Just like the archer who was driving the carriage …
Tian Jizi sat on the muddy ground and looked at Qin Yining's guards who had arrived. She then looked at Mu Jinghu who was standing firmly in front of her. She suddenly threw away the knife in her hand and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha! It's really destiny, destiny! I've calculated everyone in the world, but you're the only one I can't predict. You're the variable. Everything around you is a variable! Since the heavens have given me this mission, why do they still allow you to exist! You should have died long ago! "
Tian Jizi got up and pointed at Qin Yining. "If you don't die, I don't know how long the world will be in chaos!"
Qin Yining frowned. He looked at Tian Jizi's crazed appearance and felt a little sad.
How many people in the world could turn metaphysics into a career? Whether Tian Jizi's predictions were accurate or not was another matter. She had put in so much effort for this matter that Qin Yining didn't know whether to praise her persistence or despise her ignorance.
"Martial Uncle, let's go," Mu Jinghu rubbed his aching temples and turned to look at Qin Yining.
Qin Yining hurriedly bowed with Ji Yun and Bing Tang. "Young Master Mu, thank you very much."
Mu Jinghu shook his head and sighed. "Don't hate my Martial Uncle. He's doing this for the world." As he spoke, he felt that his request was somewhat unreasonable. Qin Yining had almost been killed. Tian Jizi had instigated him to harm her in Tatan. Now that she was pregnant and was being hunted down, how could he not hate him?
Mu Jinghu cupped his hands in shame and turned to help Tian Jizi up.
Tian Jizi climbed up shakily and slapped away Mu Jinghu's hand. She muttered, "Destiny, change, destiny, change …" She walked away dejectedly. Mu Jinghu could only silently follow behind Tian Jizi.
"Wangfei, should we let her go?" A guard bowed and asked.
Qin Yining shook his head. "With him here, you won't be able to kill her." He turned to look at the three injured people and said apologetically, "I've implicated you."
"Wangfei, don't blame yourself. We are the Marquis's guards. We swear to obey the Marquis's orders. The Marquis wants us to protect Wangfei, so we will do our best to protect Wangfei. "
Qin Yining wiped the rainwater off his face and said, "Bury our brothers for now and make a mark. We will return to the city and make arrangements before coming back to find them."
"Yes."
The three went to find the corpses of their brothers and buried them beside the forest to make a mark.
The rest of the journey was extremely dull but also very smooth.
Qin Yining's carriage arrived at the gate of the wangfu. The gatekeeper immediately ran inside happily to pass the message. There were also people who removed the door sills and helped to drive the carriage.
When the wangfu's guards saw the three guards, they knew that they must have experienced a tough battle on the road. They immediately turned pale with fright and frantically came to inquire about the situation.
Qin Yining helped Bing Tang and Ji Yun off the carriage. The servants who came to hold the umbrella for her were also stunned when they saw that her clothes were soaked, her hair was disheveled, and her skirt was covered in mud.
Qin Yining said, "Quickly find a doctor to treat the three of them. Also, go find the location of the three brothers."
Qin Huaiyuan sprained his ankle, so it was inconvenient for him to rush out at this time. However, the Sun Clan and Madam Ma were together when they heard the news. At this time, they came over together. When they saw the situation of Qin Yining and the others, the two of them were shocked.
The Sun Clan came forward and grabbed Qin Yining's hands. They rubbed his hands to warm her hands and asked, "Sister Yi, how did you become like this? What happened on the road? "
"Madam, let the child change clothes and wash up first to avoid catching wind." Madam Ma said and turned around to order people to prepare a sedan.
Qin Yining smiled at Madam Ma and the Sun Clan to comfort them. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll go back and tidy up first. Let Bing Tang take a look at me. By the way, where is my father? "
"Your father is in the room. His ankle is swollen like a steamed bun." The Sun Clan looked at the three guards who were being helped down and asked worriedly, "Did something happen to you?"
Qin Yining smiled and said, "It's okay. Mother, don't worry."
At this time, a sturdy woman came over with a stretcher. Qin Yining sat on it with the help of Bing Tang and Ji Yun. The women carefully carried her to the veranda and went all the way to Si Qing Garden.
The Sun Clan and Madam Ma looked at each other. Both of their eyes were filled with worry.
"Something must have happened to this child. Madam Ma, go and tell Grandfather Ma. I'll go and see how the girl is doing. "
The Sun Clan immediately nodded.
The two of them walked away quickly. One went to Si Qing Garden, while the other went to Si Xue Garden.
Qin Yining changed out of her wet clothes and used hot water to wipe her body. She also washed her hair. She ate soup to expel the cold and medicine to prevent miscarriage. Then she changed into casual clothes and sat on the kang bed wrapped in a blanket.
Although it was not winter yet, when Qin Yining said it was cold, the servants immediately heated the kang bed. It was not very hot, but it was still warm to sit on.
Qin Yining sighed comfortably. She pulled Ji Yun and Bing Tang, who had also tidied up, to sit on the kang bed. She also called Xian Yun and Lian Xiaozhou to sit beside her.
"The best kang bed in the north is this."
"Yes. Princess Consort, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? "Xian Yun asked worriedly.
