Cangyun raised his hand, and the hidden weapon flew out, causing the fleeing man to fall to the ground.
He walked towards the tree and saw a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face hiding behind it, trembling.
Seeing Cang Yun staring at him sharply, the man waved his hands repeatedly, "It has nothing to do with me, I was coerced by them."
"Where is the girl you kidnapped? Tell me and I'll spare your life." Cangyun glanced out of the corner of his eye at those who were getting up from the ground and continuing to run away.
The sword in his hand was pressed against the man's neck.
The man shuddered, and the hem of his robe instantly became soaked.
"Hero, spare me! Spare my life! I'm just a wandering doctor. The girl they kidnapped ran away on her own. I really don't know anything."
Seeing that he was so scared that he wet himself, Cangyun figured he wouldn't dare to lie.
He knocked the man unconscious with a single chop to the neck, then leaped after the fleeing kidnapper.
In the space.
Jiang Shuyue felt even hungrier after taking a bath.
While twisting her hair with a cotton handkerchief, she checked the porridge on the stove to see if it was cooked.
Smelling the fragrant porridge, she swallowed.
In order to eat quickly, Jiang Shuyue specially chose several kinds of mixed grains and beans that are easy to cook.
She cooked mung beans, red beans, and oats. When the mung beans started to split open, she scooped out a spoonful and stirred it in a bowl.
Feeling that it was ready to eat, she couldn't wait to take a bite.
Sweet and delicious.
Jiang Shuyue had never thought that multigrain porridge could be so delicious.
Jiang Shuyue had just eaten half a bowl of porridge when she heard the sound of swords clashing outside.
Has reinforcement arrived?
As the sounds of fighting faded into the distance, Jiang Shuyue dropped her chopsticks and went inside.
She found a dress similar to the one she had changed out of and put it on, then quickly tied her hair up.
He grabbed a bag of poison and held it in his hand, then with a thought, he vanished from the space.
As soon as I regained my footing, a strong smell of blood hit me.
Upon closer inspection, two corpses lay on the ground just two steps away.
Blood stained the wild grass on the ground.
Jiang Shuyue was so frightened that she jumped away and ran far away. Only when the smell of blood was gone from the air did she stop and quickly glance around.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no kidnappers around.
Looking back into the distance, I saw figures moving up and down near the grove of trees in front of the mortuary, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.
From afar, one could hear Gao Mu and Cang Yun's shouts.
Every time Jiang Shuyue heard a scream, she would tremble all over.
She didn't know how skilled the other party was in martial arts, and she was worried that Gao Mu and Cang Yun would suffer a loss.
She glanced at the poison in her hand, observed the wind direction, and mustered her courage to run towards the fighting.
She had only run halfway when the kidnappers spotted her.
The leader of the kidnappers saw that his men had suffered heavy casualties, and that the two opponents were too skilled in martial arts.
Seeing that there were very few people left, he took off running again.
Just as he dodged Gao Mu's attack, he saw a woman running towards him.
The kidnappers were overjoyed when they saw that it was Jiang Shuyue.
If they can catch that woman, their lives will be saved.
"Miss, don't come any closer! Run!"
When Gao Mu saw Jiang Shuyue, the kidnappers were only three zhang away from her.
Seeing the kidnappers running towards her, Jiang Shuyue waved the bag of poison in her hand at Gao Mu, who was about to catch up.
Gao Mu immediately understood the young lady's intention and quickly leaped upwind.
Seeing the kidnapper grinning as he lunged at her, Jiang Shuyue threw the bag in her hand with all her might.
"This young lady really knows kung fu."
The kidnappers assumed Jiang Shuyue had thrown a hidden weapon and raised their knives to block it.
The medicine bag was immediately slashed open by the sharp blade; it was too late for the kidnappers to hold their breath.
"That bitch, she actually poisoned me!"
The kidnapper raised his knife and swung it at Jiang Shuyue.
"Miss, be careful!" Gao Mu exclaimed, throwing her sword to stop the kidnapper from advancing.
Jiang Shuyue threw the medicine packet and immediately turned and ran.
"Yue Niang!"
A familiar voice rang out, and Jiang Shuyue's head bumped into a broad embrace.
With both feet off the ground, his body was lifted into the air and carried away.
The familiar taste put Jiang Shuyue's heart at ease.
Still feeling fear, Jiang Shuyue tightly hugged Xiao Jingzhao's neck with both hands.
"A Zhao."
Her voice choked with sobs, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that the kidnapper had inhaled the powder and collapsed quickly, Gao Mu stepped forward and bowed.
No need for formalities.
Before Xiao Jingzhao could finish speaking, a group of men in black rushed out like arrows released from a bow, instantly surrounding the mortuary.
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive."
Xiao Jingzhao left with a single sentence and carried Jiang Shuyue toward the official road.
Gao Mu hesitated for a moment, then turned to find Cang Yun.
On horseback, Jiang Shuyue wrapped her arms around Xiao Jingzhao's waist, her whole body pressed against his strong chest, the wind whistling in her ears.
Xiao Jingzhao gripped the reins with one hand and held the person in his arms with the other.
"Moon Maiden, just a little longer, we'll be at the post station soon."
Jiang Shuyue hadn't ridden a horse in a long time, and by the time she arrived at the post station, she felt like she was about to fall apart from the jolting.
Xiao Jingzhao carried Jiang Shuyue into the inn and went straight to the second floor.
Without turning his head, he instructed Xiang Song and Xiang Yang, who had followed him, "Quickly prepare hot water and food."
"I'll go right away."
Seeing that their master had successfully found the person, the two finally relaxed.
After carrying her into the house and placing her on the bed, Xiao Jingzhao eagerly took Jiang Shuyue's hand.
Seeing his swollen wrist, Xiao Jingzhao hurriedly rolled up his sleeve.
"Moon Lady, are you injured anywhere else?"
Seeing Xiao Jingzhao's anxious look, Jiang Shuyue shook her head, "It's okay, only your wrists and ankles are red and swollen from being tied by the rope. Don't worry, apply some medicine and it will be fine in a few days."
"Moon Lady, you've suffered these past few days." Xiao Jingzhao examined her ankle, then pulled her into his arms as if she were a lost treasure that had been found again.
"Ah Zhao, I woke up to find myself lying in a coffin. It scared me to death."
Jiang Shuyue still felt lingering fear as she spoke.
She was confident she could escape the kidnappers' clutches, but the scene was indeed too terrifying.
"Don't be afraid, it's all my fault. I will never lose you again." Xiao Jingzhao stroked her back, feeling extremely guilty.
Yue Niang's identity is too conspicuous; he should have arranged for secret guards to protect her long ago.
"Ah Zhao, it's not your fault. You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days. I carry a poison pouch with me. It won't be easy to get me out of Wanling." Jiang Shuyue looked up and kissed his chin.
The man in front of me looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes.
Judging from his appearance, he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.
A wave of guilt washed over Jiang Shuyue. "Ah Zhao, I'm sorry. This was an accident. I'll be extra careful from now on and won't make you worry anymore."
"Sui Sui doesn't know, does he?"
“He didn’t know. I told him you went to the estate and I’d come pick you up and take you home.”
As the two were talking, Xiang Song reported from outside the door, "Master, the hot water is ready."
