Li Qingluo took the bow and arrow: "It's not just for self-defense."

After she finished speaking, she immediately drew her bow and shot the arrow out.

Cui Shiyi Niang stamped her feet fiercely: "How could you shoot without even looking? We only have three arrows! If I had known there were bows and arrows, I should have let my ninth sister use them. She's also quite accurate in shooting..."

Before he could finish his words, a scream was heard outside.

There was also the sound of someone falling heavily from a horse.

Then came all kinds of ugly curses: "Bitch, they actually have bows and arrows!"

"Jia Lao San, Lao San!?"

"Dead, dead?"

"Go in—I'm going to rape them to death—"

"I want them dead—"

There was a lot of angry shouting outside.

The women were sobbing in fear again, but Li Qingluo sneered: "Don't worry, we don't even know who will die first."

After saying that, she nocked another arrow.

Cui Jiuniang grabbed Cui Shiyi Niang and took a deep breath nervously.

My archery skills are definitely not as superb as hers, but I can still kill people with this kind of skill.

Isn’t it rumored that she grew up in the mountains?

I don’t know how long he has been learning archery, but he is so good at it.

However, before Li Qingluo shot the arrow, there was a loud noise outside.

Then, the sounds of horses' hooves galloping and neighing filled the valley, and then the sounds of swords and spears finally reached everyone's ears.

"Are there any reinforcements?"

"Great! Someone must be here to rescue us!"

Everyone laughed happily again, and after a short while, the sounds of fighting outside stopped.

So fast?

No one knew who had won. Li Qingluo quickly opened a crack and looked out. Before she could see who was inside through the firelight, she heard a familiar voice: "Your Highness—Miss Li, are you all in there?"

Is that the sound of chasing rain?

Li Qingluo was overjoyed and quickly took Nanping out.

"We are here!"

There were only a few rebels chasing after them, so Zhui Yu and Sha Lei quickly cleared the area outside.

Across the flames, Zhui Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Qingluo and Nanping were safe and sound.

Seeing their defense, he couldn't help but praise them: "You guys did a great job. I wonder whose idea it was? Also, we just saw a rebel being killed by you guys. Whose archery skills are so amazing?"

Nan Ping pointed at Li Qingluo proudly and said, "Of course, you are all my Sister Luo'er! By the way, why are you two here? Where is my Fifth Uncle? Is he okay?"

Zhui Yu suddenly stared at Li Qingluo with a burning gaze. "The prince has suffered minor injuries, but he still wants his subordinates to come quickly to rescue the princess and... and the other girls."

"Now, the two of us must obey orders and stay here to protect Her Highness the Princess. We also have to escort the other girls back to Jinling. Therefore, we cannot spare time to deliver medicine to the Prince. Since Miss Li is so brave and resourceful, I wonder if you could do us a small favor?"

Li Qingluo pointed at himself: "Me—?"

Li Qingluo rode on a horse and was led away by another unknown guard.

Sitting on the horse, Li Qingluo suddenly realized that since they could still take away a guard, why did they insist on having a girl like her deliver the medicine?

Isn't this a waste of time?

She suddenly felt like she was being fooled...

Even Nanny Deng and Que'er were left where they were, and they were not allowed to follow.

She said she would be back soon.

Li Qingluo suddenly held his breath. What would the girls who stayed behind think if Zhui Yu acted like this?

And if Prince Su is really injured, shouldn’t he rush back to Jinling to be treated by the imperial physician?

If I take the medicine with me, can he recover immediately?

But after thinking so much, Li Qingluo had no choice but to go.

When Li Qingluo and the guards arrived at a small forest not far away, they saw Prince Su standing there, directing the people around him to...carry the corpse.

Yes, carry the bodies and find the living.

Li Qingluo didn't expect that the battle here was so fierce, with corpses and blood all over the ground.

She almost wanted to vomit, and she felt even more resentful towards Zhui Yu in her heart.

Duan Rongshi turned around and looked up to see Li Qingluo.

There was no emotion in his silent eyes, but suddenly everything changed in the light of the fire—

An arc-shaped short sword flew towards Li Qingluo's back. Duan Rongshi stretched out his hand and threw a dart to knock the knife away. Li Qingluo, who wanted to dodge, also rolled off the horse.

Duan Rongshi rushed over, pulled her up and protected her behind him.

There were rustling sounds all around, and dark shadows emerged from the surroundings.

However, Duan Rongshi only had about ten guards around him at this moment.

Duan Rongshi lowered his head and glanced at Li Qingluo quickly: "Miss Li, hold on to me, don't let go."

Li Qingluo immediately grabbed his robe tightly and swallowed hard.

Nanping is right, it is really not a good time to go out today!

Half an incense stick later, Li Qingluo was brought to the edge of the cliff by Duan Rongshi.

Behind him was still a dark shadow chasing him relentlessly, as if it could never be completely killed today.

Torches, bows and arrows, and flying knives were all fired at him at once. It seemed that they would not give up until they killed the two of them today.

Duan Rongshi quickly waved the sword in his hand to block all attacks.

However, there were countless dark shadows chasing after them, and they had no way to retreat. If they continued like this, they would not be able to survive.

Just one mistake and I would have died here today.

Duan Rongshi lowered his head and looked deeply at Li Qingluo: "Are you sure?"

Although Li Qingluo was trembling with nervousness, he still nodded vigorously: "If Your Highness believes, you can give it a try - Ah!!!"

Before she could finish her words, Duan Rongshi had already grabbed her waist and tiptoed towards the cliff behind her without even looking back.

"ah--"

With a long whistling sound, the body fell vertically down from the cliff at a rapid speed.

Those dark shadows rushed over, took a look, and then threw and smashed a bunch of things down until the sound could no longer be heard, then they left in disappointment.
