After exchanging a glance, Yuan Yi drew his sword to cut off the rear, and Jiang Yanche grabbed Shen Ningzhu and started running.
"Ah, what's going on?"
"Shh, don't make any noise."
Just as he shouted, countless densely packed black-armored soldiers emerged from all around the cave at lightning speed.
They moved in unison, like a tide, and in the blink of an eye they had surrounded the entire cave.
Not long after, Jiang Xuanyan's stern face suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave.
He was dressed in silver-white armor, with an upright posture, standing tall like a mountain.
But if you look closely, you can see that his face is a little pale, and it is obvious that his injuries have not yet healed.
Shen Ningzhu frowned almost imperceptibly.
Did he want to die? Why did he chase me so quickly? He wasn't afraid of getting his injuries worse.
Seeing Chen Ningzhu standing intact not far away, his heart finally relaxed a little, and his gaze turned to Jiang Yanche beside him, his eyes instantly becoming sinister and cold.
The air seemed to freeze in an instant.
The voice was deep and majestic, and did not conceal the murderous intent contained in it.
"Jiang Yanche, I originally thought that since you are just a stray dog now, I would kindly spare your life, but you insisted on walking on the edge of the knife. In this case, you can't blame me."
Facing Jiang Xuanyan's angry rebuke, Jiang Yanche remained calm.
He calmly took Shen Ningzhu's hand and held it tightly in his palm. Then he raised his head and met Jiang Xuanyan's cold eyes without fear, with a slight smile on his lips, with a blatant provocation.
"Yeah?"
Seeing that Jiang Yanche dared to make such an intimate gesture to Shen Ningzhu in front of him, Jiang Xuanyan was immediately furious and shouted loudly:
"Take your dirty hands off me!"
"Dirty hands? Haha..."
Jiang Yanche burst into laughter upon hearing this, and his laughter echoed across the valley, sounding particularly harsh.
After laughing, he stopped laughing, looked at Jiang Xuanyan jokingly, and said word by word:
"In Zhuzhu's eyes, I'm afraid only your hands can be called truly dirty! Zhuzhu and I are in love with each other and have already promised each other a future. If that's the case, how can my hands be dirty?"
After saying that, he once again tightly grasped Shen Ningzhu's hand, raised his eyebrows and shook them in the air, showing Jiang Xuanyan the indestructible relationship between them.
Jiang Xuanyan's body shook.
He sneered, "I don't believe it."
"Royal brother, stop deceiving yourself. How could a woman truly like a man like you who kills so many people?"
"It doesn't matter if she's sincere or not. She, Chen Ningzhu, will be mine for the rest of her life, whether alive or dead. Anyone who comes, except my wife, will be killed without mercy."
It was indeed Jiang Xuanyan, who said this casually when provoked. I guess now, Zhuzhu is even more determined to escape from him, right?
The two sides soon started fighting.
Jiang Yanche already trusted Shen Ningzhu and was sure that she didn't want to return to Jiang Xuanyan.
Seeing that it was inconvenient to fight with her, he took her to a secluded place and asked her to hide. He would come to find her when he was safe.
Shen Ningzhu pretended to be afraid and grabbed his sleeve tightly, her eyes panicking as she said,
"Then you...you must come find me."
The woman's eyes were red, like a wounded little rabbit, and full of anxiety.
Jiang Yanche completely let go of his heart, and raised the corner of his lips in a good mood. He put his other hand on her soft hand that was holding his sleeve, and said seriously,
"wait for me."
After saying that, he pushed Shen Ningzhu into the bushes, smiled at her again, and strode away.
However, he didn't know that the moment he left, the weakness and panic on the woman's face immediately disappeared.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a long time. After making sure that he didn't hear any unusual sounds, he tiptoed and took a nervous step and ran quickly in the direction he had carefully planned in advance.
Who knew that when he was halfway through the run, he saw a fight ahead, and the people surrounded by them were Jiang Xuanyan and Jiang Yi.
It was not until this moment that Chen Ningzhu woke up from her dream.
It turned out that Jiang Yanche had planned this long ago. This seemingly peaceful and tranquil mountain was actually filled with traps and ambushes.
Everything had been secretly arranged long before they brought me here.
The current situation is clearly a carefully planned trap!
Shen Ningzhu frowned tightly.
At this moment, Jiang Yi's exclamation was heard.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Chen Ningzhu quickly looked over in the direction of the sound and discovered a deep cut on Jiang Xuanyan's arm. The silk was torn, the snow-white flesh was turned inside out, revealing the white bones.
Blood gushed out from the wound, staining half of his sleeve red.
Jiang Yi wanted to step forward to protect him, but was held back by several people and couldn't get away. He saw someone attacking him from behind.
Shen Ningzhu rushed forward without thinking and pushed him away, "Be careful."
The two dodged each other's swords, but they didn't know that there was a cliff behind them. They didn't expect that Jiang Xuanyan grabbed Shen Ningzhu the moment she pushed him.
In this way, both of them fell off the cliff.
Chen Ningzhu screamed in fright, but it was too late. The wind whistled past her ears, stinging her so much that she couldn't open her eyes. The strong feeling of weightlessness made her heart beat in her throat.
At this point, Shen Ningzhu had no time to think. Did this bastard deliberately pull her along knowing that there was a cliff behind him, thinking that he would bury her with him even if he died?
I accidentally pulled her subconsciously.
But she knew that her chaste heart would kill her today.
Just as she was thinking about it, she felt someone hugging her body, and with a push, the two of them were in the same position, she on top and him on the bottom.
Shen Ningzhu was stunned. Is he... protecting her?
The whistling sound of the wind in my ears became a little quieter, and my cold limbs gradually warmed up.
The man's warm breath sprayed on her ears, followed by a playful teasing.
"Zhuzhu says she doesn't love me, but her body is honest. But next time, I won't allow you to act so rashly. If you rush over without regard for the danger, I will be heartbroken if you get hurt."
Shen Ningzhu: ...
Too lazy to pay attention to him, hurriedly said,
"What should I do? I don't want to die."
The man bit her small, white earlobe, gasping for breath due to the injury, and laughed muffledly,
"Are you scared now? Don't worry, I'm here, even if the Jade Emperor comes, he won't do anything to you."
"Be good and close your eyes."
Chen Ningzhu immediately did as he was told. After an unknown amount of time, she heard a "splash" and her body fell into the lake.
The cold lake water rushed in from all directions, splashing all over her body. Fortunately, Jiang Xuanyan was there to cushion the blow, and soon she regained consciousness.
Just as he was about to swim towards the shore, he discovered that Jiang Xuanyan was a landlubber and was struggling in the water.
