When Tian An walked all the way from the village head to the center of the village, it was already dawn. The road was full of Zhao Yiming's men, and the guards had all been controlled. After taking a few casual glances, she went straight to the back mountain.
An Wan was left in the yard under the protection of the secret guards. She had always been in good physical condition and was as good as Ji Feng in climbing mountains.
The two of them were moving quickly up a mountain road. Not long after they started walking, they saw a figure sneaking off the road and heading into the dense forest on the side.
Seeing this, Tian An immediately followed behind with Ji Feng.
The dense forest was full of vines and thorns. Ji Feng was afraid of hurting Tian An, so he held a sword and led the way.
The path they walked was the same one the person in front of them had walked before, so it was relatively easy.
The road that the man in front was walking on was completely untouched. It took a lot of effort just to identify the direction and make the way, so he was quickly caught up by Tian An and the others.
Seeing someone catching up with him, he turned around and ran faster, but unfortunately, how fast could he run in this mountain forest where there was no road at all.
After running for a while breathlessly, he finally stopped and turned around to confront the two men.
The man was carrying a bundle on his shoulders, and his clothes were crooked and wrinkled. Who else could it be but Captain Guo, whom Zhao Yiming was tracking everywhere?
Seeing this, Ji Feng did not dare to be careless and drew his sword to protect Tian An.
Captain Guo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was only a man and a woman behind him. There were only two people on the other side, and the woman was obviously a weak woman. As long as he dealt with the man, no one would stop him.
"Watch out for the knife." He took the initiative, drew out the knife and stabbed towards Ji Feng.
"Madam, be careful." Ji Feng reminded and quickly raised his sword to meet the enemy.
But behind him was Tian An, and because he was taking care of Tian An, every move he made was mainly defensive, which made him somewhat restricted by Captain Guo's reckless attacks.
Seeing this, Tian An quickly hid aside and shouted to Ji Feng: "Don't worry about me, Madam. Just focus on dealing with it."
Ji Feng caught a glimpse of Tian An hiding in a safe place, and immediately put aside his worries and attacked with his sword.
This guy surnamed Guo is worthy of being the team leader. He is very skilled and he and Ji Feng fought back and forth, but neither of them could win. It could almost be said that it ended in a draw.
Seeing that the two were in a stalemate, Tian An took out a crossbow from the space and prepared to help Ji Feng.
Captain Guo on the opposite side became more and more anxious when he saw that the two were evenly matched and it was difficult to determine the winner. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. If the people behind caught up with him, he would be unable to escape even if he had wings.
Suddenly, my brain started working rapidly, and I kept thinking of ways to escape.
At this time, the sound of Tian An aiming the crossbow also startled him. While he was startled, he miraculously thought of a solution as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened in an instant.
On the other hand, although Tian An took out a crossbow, the forest was too dense and there were many obstructions. In addition, their figures flashed too quickly during the fight, so she couldn't aim at all.
She was so upset that she didn't realize that she had become Captain Guo's target.
Guo made a feint and quickly withdrew from the battle circle. Just when Ji Feng thought he was going to escape and was about to approach him again.
He suddenly raised the knife and swung it towards Tian An.
"Madam, please be careful..." Ji Feng saw his intention and hurriedly reminded Tian An loudly, and then he reacted quickly and rushed over there.
In the woods, there was not much space for Ji Feng and the others to fight, and by the time Tian An reacted, it was too late to completely avoid the knife.
He could only subconsciously move sideways to avoid his vital points, and watch helplessly as the sharp knife emitting a cold light got closer and closer to him.
It seems that this time, even if I don’t die, I will lose half my life.
Just when Tian An was ready to endure the sharp blade piercing his flesh and blood, he suddenly heard
"call out--"
There was a sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the air, followed by
"Ding——" was the sound of the sword and arrow colliding.
The silver-white sharp knife almost brushed against Tian An's dress as it fell to the ground.
The expected pain did not come, and the next second she fell into a broad and gentle chest.
He just hugged her gently, without caring about being gentle, Zhao Yiming immediately pushed her away from his arms, and then pulled her up and down, left and right to check her.
Seeing that her clothes were only slightly scratched and she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when Tian An thought that what would greet her next was Zhao Yiming's warm and affectionate embrace, the next second she heard Zhao Yiming's suppressed angry scolding from above her head:
"Do you know how dangerous that was?"
"The knife was almost going to pierce your body, did you know that?"
"Who told you to take the initiative to track people? Is this what you should do?"
"Can't you just stay in the yard at the foot of the mountain and wait for me to find you?"
"you……"
Seeing the mist gradually gathering in Tian An's eyes, Zhao Yiming's blaming voice suddenly stopped.
He started to frantically comfort her again, "I'm sorry, An An, I didn't mean to say that to you, I was just too anxious."
"I just saw the knife coming straight towards you, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat."
"I'm just worried you'll get hurt. I don't really want to say anything to you. Don't cry, you..."
Before Zhao Yiming finished speaking, he saw Tian An tilting his head back and blinking, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes. Then, with an expression that was both crying and laughing, and yet also forbearing, he said, "Zhao Yiming, my foot hurts. The knife just hit my foot."
Zhao Yiming: "..."
Zhao Yiming reacted and helped Tian An sit down without saying a word. He then took off her shoes and socks and checked her.
Sure enough, the instep of the lovely pair of white feet had turned red and was visibly swollen.
Zhao Yiming was so distressed that he looked at Tian An and asked, "Do you have any medicine?"
Tian An silently took out some medicinal wine to reduce swelling and relieve pain from the space and handed it to him.
Zhao Yiming took the medicinal wine and was about to apply it to her. He first poured some medicinal wine into his palm to warm it up, then lifted Tian An's feet and prepared to rub them for her.
"Just bear with it. This medicinal wine will be useless if you don't rub it in vigorously."
Tian An nodded. How could she not know about her own medicine?
Just knowing is one thing, whether it hurts or not is another.
She hugged Zhao Yiming's arms tightly, buried her head in his arms, and tried hard not to utter a groan of pain.
It wasn't that she couldn't bear it, it was because she was worried about Ji Feng and the others who were chasing her. If they were nearby and heard them, they might think she and Zhao Yiming were doing that! That would be very embarrassing.
