Jiang Shi noticed the uneasiness of the girl in his arms, hugged her slightly tighter, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Yu Tanqi responded softly, but the worry between his brows could not be dispelled.

According to the routine of male-oriented novels, when the male protagonist is attacked, there will always be someone around to protect him from injuries.

And this person is usually a female character, who is usually either seriously injured or dies directly.

Yu Tanqi swallowed and his body trembled slightly.

She was afraid of death, but she was even more afraid of pain.

Danqing was about to rein in the brown horse with great difficulty, but the horse was suddenly hit by a long arrow. It let out a cry and started running wildly and impatiently again.

People on the street quickly got out of the way.

Some people didn't have time to dodge and were knocked to the ground, causing chaos.

Jiang Shi's expression turned cold.

He had just recovered from his illness and went out, and some people couldn't wait to see him.

The brown horse rushed forward, shaking the carriage. Jiang Shi hugged Yu Tanqi tightly and whispered, "Hold me tight."

Yu Tanqi quickly and obediently hugged him tightly.

At the critical moment of life and death, she did not care about the taboos between men and women, and wished she could become the male protagonist's pendant and hide in the safest place.

Who killed him?

The third prince?

Jiang family?

Or are you from Tianqi Kingdom?

Yu Tanqi was not quite sure, but he was certain that the murderer was among these people.

The possible candidates at present are the Jiang family and the Tianqi Kingdom.

The former coveted the property and title of Wu'an Marquis's mansion, while the latter took his anger out on Jiang Shi because of his grudge against Wu'an Marquis and his wife.

Prince Yun has no intention of killing the male protagonist yet. After all, he still wants to use the male protagonist to take advantage of Marquis Wu'an's old subordinates and Marquis Wu'an's influence to seize power and usurp the throne.

He changed his mind and wanted to kill the male protagonist only after he failed to win him over many times and found out that he was really loyal to the eldest prince.

But that's a story for later.

Jiang Shi was also wondering who was so eager to kill him.

Maybe it's not a real killing, maybe it's a warning.

He pursed his lips slightly, hugged Yu Tanqi tightly, and was ready to abandon the car and escape at any time.

If you get off the carriage now, you might be faced with assassins or attacked with hidden weapons. It is safer to stay in the carriage.

Linlang was also in the carriage. She tried to grab something to steady herself. She was panicked but did not speak.

She originally wanted to hug her young lady, but when she saw Jiang Shi quickly hugged Yu Tanqi who almost fell, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Dan Hua got out of the carriage as soon as the accident happened, carefully looked around, and soon found the killer hiding in a high place. His eyes turned cold and he jumped up to chase him.

The man reacted quickly and turned around and ran away.

Danqing finally reined in his brown horse, looked around, and found that they had run into a dead end.

Suddenly, more than a dozen masked men in black appeared around, holding sharp weapons and approaching the carriage quickly.

Danqing's expression changed, and he immediately shouted, "Protect the master!"

The people hiding in the dark then appeared and started fighting with the men in black.

For a moment, the sound of swords clashing rang out one after another, and the air was quickly filled with the smell of blood.

Yu Tanqi's face turned pale and he held Jiang Shi's arm even tighter.

Because I can't see it, I can imagine the horrifying scene in my mind.

Jiang Shi whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

Yu Tanqi responded softly.

Outside the carriage, Danqing can fend off three people alone.

"Leave a few alive." He said coldly.

The men in black were well-trained, but they were no match for Jiang Shi's secret guards, and several of them died soon.

They are killers and assassins, not secret guards who value their lives. Their expressions change drastically when they see their accomplices falling one after another.

One of the men in black shouted, "Don't kill me, I'll tell you who sent us!"

Danqing: "Put down your swords and raise your hands."

All the men in black obediently put down their swords and raised their hands above their heads.

Danqing said: "Tie them all up."

"Yes." The four secret guards tied the hands of the remaining three men in black.

Danqing then said to Jiang Shi: "Master, the killer has been caught."

Jiang Shi said: "Take it back."

"Yes." After Danqing had the secret guards take the man back, he looked at the brown horse with multiple wounds and bleeding profusely, frowning, "Master, this horse is seriously injured and can't run away."

Since they couldn't take the carriage, they had to walk back.

Yu Tanqi subconsciously said, "I can't go out."

She huddled against the boy's broad, hard chest and whispered, "I'm scared."

Who knows if there might be someone hiding in the dark, waiting for them to get out.

Jiang Shi lowered his eyes slightly, thinking something in his mind.

He patted Yu Tanqi's hand and said, "Send someone back to the Marquis' Mansion and bring a carriage over."

"yes."

Each of the four secret guards was escorting a man in black, and the remaining one was at the front, using light skills.

Danqing did not relax his vigilance and looked around intently.

Suddenly, a long arrow shot towards the carriage and hit the wall.

What followed were more and more sharp arrows.

A sharp arrow pierced through the curtain and lodged itself in the inner wall of the carriage.

Yu Tanqi's pupils narrowed, he gritted his teeth, and quickly threw Jiang Shi to the ground.

The curtain of the carriage was opened by a sharp arrow, and someone shot an arrow from a high place, aiming at the people in the carriage. No matter who it was, he just had to hit them.

"Tan Qi!" Jiang Shi quickly stood up and put his arms around her waist, wanting to change his position to protect her.

Yu Tanqi saw a sharp arrow coming from behind him, and without saying a word, he moved sideways to block it for him.

The arrow pierced her shoulder.

The girl groaned and bit her lips hard to prevent herself from crying out in pain.

Her eyes were filled with tears. It hurt so much that she felt like she was going to die.

Linlang exclaimed: "Miss, you are injured!"

Jiang Shi looked at the girl's red shoulders, his eyes stinging and his heart aching. He held her in his arms, sealed her acupuncture points to stop the bleeding and pain as much as possible, and prevented her from blocking the second arrow for him.

His lips trembled slightly, and his throat was dry. "Tan Qi, hold on, don't fall asleep."

She was very well-behaved. Even though her tears were streaming, she didn't cry out in pain, but her voice couldn't stop trembling: "Be careful."

The color that the girl's face had finally regained disappeared at this moment.

He wanted to hug her tightly, but was afraid of hurting her. He was a little at a loss, and a hint of panic flashed in his black eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

"You'll be fine, and neither will I." He comforted her, and himself.

The boy's eyes gradually turned red, and his hands holding her trembled slightly.

Danqing had already found the archer by this time. Without hesitation, he threw a dagger, stabbed his arm, and then rushed forward to grab him.

"Master, I caught someone."

Jiang Shi hurriedly picked up Yu Tanqi and got off the carriage, not caring if there was anyone else in the dark, as he was afraid she couldn't wait.

Hurry up, faster.

He tapped his toes lightly, using his lightness skills, and his hair was blown messy by the wind.

The girl in his arms leaned weakly on his chest, her eyes gradually becoming unfocused.

It hurt so much, she regretted knocking him down.

Even though that was her first reaction.

He had been injured many times before, and she couldn't bear to see him get hurt again.

She blinked her eyes, unable to stop crying because of the pain.
