The lady was shot by an arrow? And the arrow was poisoned?!
After hearing Mo Zhu's shout, Xi Feng's face changed immediately and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
They followed all the way, keeping a distance, and only gradually approached when they noticed the unusual movement ahead.
Unexpectedly, Mo Zhu's cry completely broke the tranquility of the night.
By the time Xi Feng reacted, the black horse beside him had already galloped forward, bringing up a strong wind and neighing.
“Why, why are there so many people?!” The killers’ eyes were bloodshot and their hearts sank.
Wherever the dark horse goes, it leaves a bloody path.
Before the killers could react, their heads and bodies were separated.
The killer who was standing farther away saw the dark figure on horseback and felt a terrifying aura from afar.
A strong sense of fear rose uncontrollably from my heart.
"Yes, it's him!" Someone squeezed out a sound from between chattering teeth.
Um?
Xie Qingyao, who was lying on the ground, also noticed the rapid sound of horse hooves.
Something seemed to be running towards me like crazy.
"Mozhu, give me a hand." She said quickly.
Mo Zhu quickly reached out and pulled her up, then consciously stepped aside and kept some distance.
Xie Qingyao:?
Suddenly a roar was heard not far away.
Xie Qingyao turned her head before she could see clearly.
A tall figure came up to her and grabbed her arm tightly with such force that it hurt a little.
"Hiss." Xie Qingyao gasped softly.
Finally seeing who it was, she gasped for breath and asked in surprise, "My Lord, why are you here?"
He Zheng's eyes were dark and his face was filled with coldness, so dark it was terrifying.
Without saying a word, he lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Qingyao seriously, scanning her inch by inch, his eyes almost seeing through her.
"It hurts." Xie Qingyao frowned and uttered a word.
Her hair was completely messy, her hairpin was crooked and almost fell off, and she looked particularly pitiful.
There were some blood stains on the clothes.
When his eyes fell upon the bloodstains, He Zheng's jawline tightened and his face became even more cold.
He loosened his grip on her hand and moved to lift up her sleeve.
Xie Qingyao's eyelids twitched, and she pressed his hand down with a "snap".
"I'm fine. This isn't my blood. It's someone else's."
She always felt that He Zheng was like a wild beast that could go berserk at any time, making her feel inexplicably dangerous.
Hearing her words, He Zheng's frown relaxed slightly and his expression brightened.
For a moment, the beast that was ready to attack seemed to lie dormant again and return to calm.
He also realized that Mo Zhu's words just now were just a trick to deceive the enemy, to trick them into letting their guard down.
Xie Qingyao said, "I originally planned to trick them and play a trick on them. When they thought I was really shot by an arrow, I would jump up and say, 'Are you stupid? I'm fine!'"
"This is also the action signal that my father and I agreed upon."
Indeed, after hearing the news that Xie Qingyao was shot by an arrow, even though Xie Linqian was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
But his attention was always on Xie Qingyao, so he knew that she was fine.
On the other side, Xie Yuchuan heard the agreed signal and immediately sent a flare into the air. In the blink of an eye, the secret guards hidden in the mountains and forests rushed over from all directions.
At this moment, the enemy was shocked again.
"I-we fell into a trap!"
"They deliberately pretended to be outnumbered, making us underestimate them and lure us out in full force to kill us all."
When they thought that Xie Qingyao, the thorn in their side, was going to be removed, they never expected that she would be completely unharmed.
What’s worse is that Marquis Anguo actually came!
The situation turned and they were at a disadvantage.
The killers panicked, "Run! Run!"
"retreat!"
What's the saying that if they don't succeed, they will die? In this situation, even if they give their all here, they can't succeed.
Xie Qingyao and Xie Linqian were well prepared and arranged secret guards who were on par with them.
The appearance of Marquis Anguo was the biggest variable and the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Xie Linqian shouted, "Leave a few alive, and kill the rest on the spot!"
He Zheng hugged Xie Qingyao tightly, pinched the back of her neck, and said, "Wait here."
Xie Qingyao nodded: "Okay."
The shackles on his body suddenly loosened, and He Zheng walked over quickly, jumped on the horse, and ordered Mo Zhu: "Keep an eye on her."
Mo Zhu's heart trembled, and he responded, "Yes!"
He Zheng rode his black horse towards the fighting crowd. The night wind lifted his clothes, and the knife in his hand instantly turned red.
The killers fell one by one, without any power to fight back.
When Xie Yuchuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Stunned.
Strong, so strong that it’s a little scary.
At this time, the enemy's formation had long been dispersed, and their minds were scattered, and they were only concerned about escaping.
He Zheng squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and chased the leader of the opposite side. The arrow was already on the string when he raised his hand.
“Zheng——!”
The arrow broke through the air and pierced the leader's shoulder.
"Ah!" The leader fell heavily to the ground with a hideous look on his face.
By the time he struggled to get up, the black horse was already galloping towards him and almost trampled him.
"No! No! No!"
He Zheng tightened the reins, looked down at him from his horseback, raised his hand and said coldly, "Catch him."
Xi Feng captured the leader alive and removed his jaw with a snap, leaving him no chance to bite his tongue to commit suicide.
Others were also captured and suffered dislocated jaws.
After the situation was almost under control, Xie Qingyao, Xie Linqian and others slowly came over.
He Zheng took the cloak from Xi Feng's hand and put it on Xie Qingyao before she could react.
