Chapter 359 Princess, give me your hand

The man in black never expected that the delicate and beautiful princess actually had a hidden arrow and was wary of outsiders. He saw through him at a glance that he was not the King of Chang'an's man.

The hidden arrow pierced his chest, and the man in black took a half step back, looking at Huo Yanran in disbelief. The driver in front of him was galloping, and the carriage was shaking. He lost his balance and was thrown out...

The palace servants in the carriage were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the man in black who was thrown out suddenly reached out and grabbed the curtain, then used the force to jump onto the roof.

Huo Yanran stood up and walked out of the carriage, wanting to shoot another arrow at the man in black on the roof, but the carriage was speeding and swaying from side to side, and she fell back into the carriage.

"Princess!"

Seeing this, the palace maids in the carriage hurriedly rushed to help her.

Then, at this moment, the man in black on the roof suddenly attacked, stabbed down with a knife, and blew off the roof...

The float was beautiful but not sturdy enough. It flew over and hit the driver in front. The driver was seriously injured and fell off his horse. The huge float was without a driver, and the two horses were frightened and ran wildly in the fighting on the field, heading straight for the highest point of the mountain.

The huge carriage was carried by the galloping horse and hit a tree and a stone wall along the way. The carriage was instantly deformed and broken. The palace servants rolled down from the broken parts one by one. Only Zhiqing was still holding on to the window tightly, but half of her body was hanging outside the car.

"Zhiqing!"

Huo Yanran quickly reached out to pull her, but the man in black who was hit by an arrow jumped down from the roof of the car at this moment and appeared in the car again. He kicked Zhiqing.

Seeing that Zhiqing was about to be kicked off the carriage, Huo Yanran shot another hidden arrow at the man in black. The man dodged the arrow by moving sideways, and the kick missed Zhiqing. However, she was still thrown off the carriage by the galloping horse...

"Zhiqing!"

Huo Yanran was shocked and reached out to pull Zhiqing, but the horse was running for too long. She only had time to grab a piece of Zhiqing's sleeve, and the sleeve broke with a ripping sound.

Zhiqing yelled "Princess" and rolled down the hillside...

At this moment, Liu Yan came galloping on his horse. When rushing up the hillside, he hung sideways on the left side of the horse's back, grabbed Zhiqing who was rolling down the hillside, put her under a tree to rest, and then got on the horse again to catch up with the float where the princess was.

"Princess, don't be afraid—"

Liu Yan's voice sounded particularly urgent amid the sound of galloping horses, and behind him was a chaotic scene of fighting.

Huo Yanran fell down in the carriage, and the shadows of the stone walls and trees passed by her eyes like fleeting glimmers in the night.

She only saw Liu Yan riding his horse towards her, as if her safety was the only thing in his eyes and heart.

The man in black who was in the carriage with Huo Yanran saw that someone was still able to catch up in such a chaotic situation, so he immediately raised his knife and slashed at Liu Yan who was chasing after him.

Huo Yanran's heart was in her throat, and she immediately exclaimed, "Master Liu, be careful!"

Liu Yan immediately drew out the long sword hanging on the horse, held the reins with one hand and galloped on the horse, while fighting with the man in black with the other hand.

The sound of horse hooves echoed through the mountains, swords clashed frequently, sparks flew, and the moon was hidden behind the clouds. It was a dark and windy night perfect for murder.

Huo Yanran aimed at the man in black in the carriage and shot out an arrow from her sleeve again, but the man in black seemed to have eyes on his back and dodged it again by turning sideways. The arrow grazed the side of Liu Yan's face as he rode his horse, leaving a bloody mark.

Liu Yan was fighting with the man in black. Their positions kept changing. Once the man in black avoided, the sleeve arrow would fall on Liu Yan. Seeing this, Huo Yanran did not dare to shoot the sleeve arrow easily, for fear that she would not be able to kill the enemy but accidentally hurt Liu Tanhua.

The man in black was separated between the two of them, and had no way to shake off Liu Yan's pursuit, nor could he get close to Princess Daxing.

Because Huo Yanran was in the same carriage with the man in black, she was afraid that he would take her hostage to threaten Liu Yan, so she kept pointing the hand with the hidden arrow at the man in black.

At this moment they were fighting non-stop. Huo Yanran had not yet mastered the use of sleeve arrows, so she did not dare to attack on her own. However, if the man in black turned around and approached her, she was sure that she could hit him with one strike.

The man in black obviously understood this, so he took advantage of the opportunity when the carriage turned a corner and kicked Liu Yan, who was distracted for fear that the princess would be thrown out of the carriage, off the horse.

When Liu Yan was kicked off his horse, he swept his sword and directly cut off the arm of the man in black, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in an instant.

The man in black cried out in pain, gritted his teeth and retreated into the carriage, looking at Princess Daxing whose face was splashed with blood.

Huo Yanran gritted her teeth and raised her hand again to shoot a hidden arrow at the man in black. However, this time, before the arrow was launched, the man grabbed her hand and slammed her into the carriage, knocking her unconscious.

If the master had not ordered that Princess Daxing must not die on the spot, and if the illusion had not been created that Princess Daxing ran away on her own and was unwilling to marry into Beili as a political marriage, the man in black would not have gone to so much trouble.

Huo Yanran collapsed, and the man in black immediately let go, then flew across the carriage and went directly to the front of the float. He pulled the reins with one hand and galloped forward.

If he leaves here and hides Princess Daxing somewhere where no one can find her, his mission will be accomplished.

Later, when Liu Yan was about to fall off his horse, he held the reins tightly with one hand and hung on the right side of the galloping horse. He didn't know who the man in black was and why he suddenly appeared here and took the princess away in the chaos.

He only knew that no matter what, he must not let the princess be taken away by anyone else.

So even though the horse's hooves were flying and almost threw him off several times, he held on to the reins tightly, climbed back on the horse, and chased after the tattered but still speeding float in front of him.

Huo Yanran was constantly jolted in the dilapidated carriage, her head banging so hard that she felt dizzy and could barely open her eyes...

"Princess!" Liu Yan's voice broke through the wind, and he rode his horse again to catch up.

The men in black in front and behind kept whipping the horses, making them run as fast as crazy. Every time Liu Yan caught up with the float, he was always just a little bit short.

"Princess--"

He shouted again and again.

Huo Yanran heard Liu Yan's call, forced herself to open her eyes, and crawled to the edge of the carriage.

After Liu Yan saw this, he immediately shouted, "Princess, give me your hand!"

Huo Yanran stretched out her hand towards him with great effort, but their fingertips touched a little and then quickly moved away from each other, and this went on repeatedly. The man in black driving the car in front saw that Liu Yan was about to pull the princess over, so he immediately drove the flower carriage faster and shook the carriage. Huo Yanran, who had finally climbed to the edge of the carriage, rolled back to the innermost side of the carriage in an instant.

However, at this time, the two madly running horses had brought the float to the edge of the cliff.

The man in black jumped out of the car immediately upon seeing this.

"Princess!"

Liu Yan immediately abandoned his horse, jumped onto the carriage, picked up the princess, and jumped out...
