Jiang Mingwei nodded repeatedly, her attitude firm: "Of course!"

"I was confident you could tame it; only you could tame Chase Wind! And in the end, you did succeed. Isn't it good to have a Ferghana horse? In the future, when you go into battle, it can be your best helper."

As Jiang Mingwei spoke, she reached out and pinched Amber's ears. They were big and soft, and the docile horse seemed a little shy, shaking its head slightly and exhaling hot breath from its nostrils.

Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but laugh.

She was already beautiful, and even with her light makeup today, her stunning beauty couldn't be hidden.

Wei Jing was slightly taken aback when he saw her smiling broadly.

"Second brother, look at the amber, it..."

Just as Jiang Mingwei was about to share with Wei Jing with a smile, she suddenly noticed that his gaze had been fixed on her for a long time, and she froze.

At this moment, Hua Cui was still beside the two, but they seemed to be able to see each other. Just as Jiang Mingwei's heart was racing, she took a deep breath and slowly came back to her senses, wanting to say something to Wei Jing...

Swoosh—

The sharp arrow tore through the air and, with a soft thud, pierced deep into the horse's rump.

The arrow came from the woods. Jiang Mingwei looked at the arrow stuck in Amber's pretty buttocks, then at Wei Jing beside her and blurted out, "Oh no!"

Due to the excruciating pain, the docile Amber was forced to hiss sharply. Her eyes turned bloodshot, and without thinking, she leaped over the fence and headed straight into the woods.

Jiang Mingwei screamed, not having time to dismount. She could only cling tightly to the horse's flanks, leaning forward to try and keep herself from being thrown off Amber's back...

"Miss!"

Hua Hua Cui screamed in alarm, startled by the sudden danger. As she ran forward in a panic, Wei Jing was already a step ahead of her, swiftly entering the woods and heading straight for Jiang Mingwei...

"I'll go after my sister-in-law. You go and report this to the Grand Madam. Remember, you mustn't tell anyone but her!"

Before leaving, he left Hua Cui with a message.

Hua Cui slumped to the ground, looking at Jiang Mingwei and Wei Jing's figures that had disappeared into the woods, and nodded fearfully and blankly.

What on earth happened? How could arrows suddenly be shot from a perfectly good forest?

Hua Cui was terrified and still felt lingering fear.

But she didn't know martial arts, so she could only place her hopes of saving Jiang Mingwei on Wei Jing. Remembering his instructions, Hua Hua Cui wiped away her tears, got up, and stumbled towards the polo field...

The wind whistled past her ears, and Jiang Mingwei gripped the reins tightly, feeling a burning sensation in her palms, which must have been from being chafed raw.

She leaned forward, hearing the rustling of leaves and the crunching sound of her footsteps on the fallen leaves, but she dared not open her eyes even for a moment.

Amber was in so much pain that she ran around everywhere, but luckily she didn't bump into the tree trunk.

Her heart was racing the whole way.

After an unknown amount of time, Amber finally came to a stop. Sensing the wind had ceased, Jiang Mingwei quietly got up, opened her eyes, and looked around…

As she thought, she and Amber should have entered the depths of the dense forest by now, and looking around, they could no longer see the location of the royal garden.

I felt helpless and anxious.

"Who was that damned bastard? He actually shot an arrow at a horse's rear end! What a disgrace! His technique is terrible!"

Jiang Mingwei was furious and couldn't help but complain.

She wasn't stupid; she knew that no one would deliberately attack a horse. The arrow must have been meant for her or Wei Jing, but it missed and hit the horse's rump instead!

Well, now that the horse is in trouble, she's in trouble too.

Although Amber had stopped, it was clear that it was still trying its best to endure the pain, with air constantly coming out of its nostrils. Jiang Mingwei looked at the arrow on its rear end, feeling both heartache and helplessness.

He reached out and gently stroked its mane, whispering comfortingly, "I'm sorry you had to go through that, Amber. When we get back, I'll definitely tell Big Sister to give you extra treats!"

"If you're willing to sell yourself to me, I'll treat you very well!"

Jiang Mingwei spoke earnestly, but unfortunately, Amber couldn't understand. The pain continued to gnaw at it, making it extremely uncomfortable, and its tail thrashed violently.

With no village or shop in sight, Jiang Mingwei had no choice.

She dared not move easily, after all, she was unfamiliar with the place, and besides, she had just closed her eyes and was completely disoriented.

But Wei Jing and Hua Cui both saw her being taken away by Amber, and they will definitely come looking for her, or have the Grand Master send someone.

Therefore, the best course of action is to stay put!

Seeing Amber in so much pain, Jiang Mingwei tried to dismount, but perhaps her movement hurt Amber again, causing it to whine.

Jiang Mingwei quickly stopped and gently stroked its mane again.

"Okay, okay, I'll sit on your back and I won't get off, alright? Amber, please don't carry me any further."

Just as Jiang Mingwei was doing her best to comfort a horse, a sound came from afar.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, where are you?"

Jiang Mingwei's eyes lit up! It was Wei Jing; he had indeed come to find her.

So he quickly shouted, "I'm here, second brother, I'm here!"

Wei Jing had excellent hearing and quickly pinpointed Jiang Mingwei's location. He instructed her to stay put and immediately used his lightness skill to find her.

A moment later, the two met up.

Looking at Jiang Mingwei, who was sitting unharmed on the back of the lake, Wei Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright?"

"I don't have it, it's just the amber..."

Looking at the arrow on its rear end, Jiang Mingwei fell silent once again.

Wei Jing frowned deeply. He couldn't have imagined anything Jiang Mingwei could think of. There must be danger lurking in this forest, and they had to leave as soon as possible.

"Let's leave here first. Amber's injuries aren't fatal; she just needs to recover properly."

Jiang Mingwei nodded, looking at Wei Jing's outstretched hand. She hesitated for a moment, but as soon as she touched his hand, their hands clasped together. In that instant of warmth, before she could even have any romantic thoughts, she heard the rustling of the leaves around her...

A moment later, several men in black, exuding a fierce and murderous aura, suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Everyone held a long sword in their hand, their eyes fixed on them.

What... how did these people get here?

Could it be that after Amber led her into the woods, they had been following her the whole time?

Didn't everyone hear her talking to herself?

Seeing that they were all equipped with bows and arrows, Jiang Mingwei suddenly wondered what she should do if she became mute.

What if this group of people aren't targeting her, but are provoked by her words and decide to kill her?

Who are you?

Wei Jing remained calm and composed, his expression cold, showing no signs of being someone who had been assassinated for the first time.

His gaze fell on the man in black, and he commanded, "If you know what's good for you, state your name and get lost!"

"Get out of here? We're here to take your life. Hand over your head, and we'll leave!"

After saying that, he raised the long sword in his hand.

A chilling killing intent spread through the forest, affecting the already agitated Amber.

It raised its forelegs high, let out a neigh, and once again charged forward recklessly...
