Two carriages were traveling slowly on the wide road.

Li Baobei found it extremely boring.

He then gently wiggled his injured arm.

"Hmm, it's much better now, it doesn't hurt as much anymore."

She raised her hand and lifted the curtain, watching He You's carriage slowly moving ahead, and pouted helplessly.

"snort!!!"

Since the two were not officially engaged, He You chose to sit in another carriage for the sake of Li Baobei's reputation, and the two only kept their feelings within the bounds of propriety.

His little girl hasn't grown up yet, and He You plans to accompany her as she grows up slowly, without any rush.

I will give her the grandest wedding, marry her into my household, and complete all the traditional betrothal rites and wedding processions.

Li Baobei, of course, had no idea what He You was thinking.

She sat listlessly in the carriage, fiddling with things here and there, and occasionally taking a nap.

Time passed slowly.

As darkness fell, the carriage entered a dense forest.

Li Baobei felt her head starting to feel dizzy again, and she felt suffocated and increasingly restless.

She lifted the curtain and looked out the window, but found nothing amiss in the dimly lit woods.

Then he slowly lowered the curtain again.

Just as the curtain was about to fall, she noticed a flash of silver light in the corner of her eye, shining from the woods.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately moved toward the carriage door, pulling at Anji's clothes through the curtain.

He said in a barely audible voice, "There's an ambush!"

Anji tensed up upon hearing this, but made no extra movements. He knew that alerting the enemy at this moment would be counterproductive.

He You's carriage slowly came to a stop, and An Ji followed suit.

"Come out!"

A cold voice rang out from the sky, making the already frigid air seem as if it would freeze into ice at any moment, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly became heavy.

As soon as the voice fell, more than twenty masked assassins sprang out of the woods, each carrying a cold sword, seemingly splitting the wind in two.

The lead assassin stared fiercely at He You's carriage and said in a harsh tone, "He You, you can rest in peace in Yi Kingdom! Nobody wants you to return to Nan Kingdom alive, heh heh!"

The person inside the carriage spoke calmly: "What? You can't hold back anymore? I haven't even made a move yet! You've come looking for me yourselves. It's really laughable. I didn't want to get involved in your war."

He You's tone was filled with arrogant disdain and annoyance.

The assassin's eyes turned cold, and the next second a blast of cold air slashed fiercely at He You's carriage.

It is evident that his martial arts skills are beyond those of ordinary people.

The slave warrior leaped into the air and engaged the assassin in fierce combat.

The assassins were extremely ruthless with their swords, each strike deadly; they were all like desperate criminals.

A moment later, the assassins turned towards the carriages carrying He You and Li Baobei.

Li Baobei felt extremely uncomfortable sitting on pins and needles in the carriage.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be a liability again."

She hugged herself tightly and curled up in the corner of the carriage.

"Bang!"

A loud bang suddenly erupted in mid-air, and He You's carriage shattered from the inside out.

The attack instantly sent several assassins who were rushing over wielding their swords flying.

The moment they landed, they coughed up blood and passed out.

He You lightly leaped onto the carriage where Li Baobei was, and lifted the curtain to see Li Baobei huddled in the corner of the carriage.

The little girl was trembling all over, but she tried her best to suppress her fear.

He You stepped inside, gently squatted down, and tenderly hugged the little girl in the corner. "Nan Nan, don't be afraid."

He wrapped her completely in his cloak and held her tightly in his arms.

Li Baobei felt extremely cold and immediately hugged He You tightly. Her eyes were red and misty, making her look pitiful.

Looking at the tiny person in her arms, He You couldn't help but think of something: "Such a fragile and delicate flower should be housed in a golden cage, so that I will never have to worry about her getting hurt again."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly, but he quickly hid it and hugged the person in his arms tightly again.

Anji was being fought by three assassins. He couldn't fight them all, and he gradually lost ground.

Suddenly, while Anji was blocking the attack from the front, the assassin behind her unexpectedly stabbed her in the back.

The war slave, who was fighting two assassins not far away, turned around and saw this scene, and his heart tightened.

With a flip, he broke free from the original battlefield and thrust his sword straight towards Anji. Before Anji could react, the assassin behind him had already fallen to the ground.

The assassins who had just appeared were all dead in no time.

Anji gave Zhannu a deep look, said thank you softly, and turned to walk towards the carriage.

The slave was stunned for a moment. "What did she just say?"

He was about to ask her what she had said when he realized that Anji was already sitting in the carriage, no longer giving him a second glance.

The war slave sighed helplessly and walked up.

The carriage slowly started moving again, disappearing from this place filled with the stench of blood.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Happy laughter came from Li Baobei's room, and the long-lost feeling returned.

She rolled around on her bed a few times, "This place is still the safest and most comfortable. It's so comfortable!"

She lay quietly in bed, enjoying herself.

It's true that it's easy to become addicted to a life where you're waited on hand and foot.

Bizhu stared wide-eyed at Li Baobei, who had lost a lot of weight, and muttered to herself, "How did Miss get so thin after being away for more than half a month? Is she still the Miss I remember?"
