The man in black said, "Everything is ready!"
Qin Yi strode out, instructing as he went, "The news of my departure must not be spread."
"yes!"
...
Nanqianyue and Yuyou sped along the way.
She turned her head and asked loudly, "Brother Yu You, how far are we from the border?"
Yu You replied loudly in return, "About a hundred li!"
The moon, as she moved south, looked worried. It would take at least half a day to travel a hundred li, and the horse had already been running for a long time and was running again without having eaten enough.
It seems we'll have to change horses at the next post station.
"careful!"
Yu You suddenly roared and simultaneously launched a dart to intercept the hidden weapon that was attacking Nanqianyue.
As the southward migration progressed, the reins were tightened, forcing the horse to stop.
In an instant, a group of men in black surrounded the two.
Yu You immediately roared at Nan Qianyue, "I'll clear a path for you, just keep running forward."
Nanqianyue's eyes welled up with tears; she saw a resolute determination on Yu You's face, a determination that showed no fear of death.
Yu You had no time to say much to the man who was migrating south. He drew his long sword and slashed wildly at the men in black, carving a bloody path through them.
"Run!" he roared at Nan Qianyue as he killed.
Nanqianyue gritted her teeth, held back her tears, raised the reins, and rode away.
She dared not look back; the sound of clashing swords grew fainter and fainter, and her heart grew colder and colder.
She didn't know how long she had been running; her mind was almost numb.
The horse seemed to understand human nature, continuing to run forward even when it was exhausted.
As the sun gradually set, the horse, with its last bit of strength, carried the southward-migrating moon forward.
A lone rider and his horse traversed the sparse woods, the setting sun their only guiding light.
Nanqianyue reached out and touched the horse's neck. "Don't go any further."
She dismounted from the horse, stroked its head, and said softly, "There's grass in this forest, go find your own food. Don't worry about me anymore. I'll walk the road ahead by myself."
The horse seemed to understand human speech, nodding its head up and down.
Nanqianyue smiled, "If circumstances allowed, I really would like to bring you back..."
Whoosh—Pfft—!
A long arrow pierced the air and went straight through the horse's head.
Blood splattered onto Nan Qianyue's face. Her eyes widened in shock and resentment, which surged forth like a flood.
"Hmph, no one is protecting you now. Your death is imminent!" Several assassins, carrying knives, walked step by step towards Nan Qianyue.
