Jiang Ling and Xia Zhixian were moving towards the gate of the manor under the protection of several secret guards. Suddenly, they heard the sound of swords clashing behind them. Jiang Ling turned around and saw a man in black chasing after them, with a sword pointing directly at Xia Zhixian!
The secret guard blocked the sword and fought with him.
Jiang Ling escorted Xia Zhixian inside, her expression serious, "Mom, they're coming for you."
But Xia Zhixian held her hand tightly, her expression calm, "Leaving together might be a conspiracy."
Jiang Ling nodded. She knew this might be a diversionary tactic, but in the equally dangerous situation, she would of course protect Xia Zhixian first.
Xiaojia ran over at this time. There was a wound on his left arm, with blood and flesh flying around, and blood was flowing down.
"Xiao Jia?" Jiang Ling saw his wound and frowned with some worry. "Is it serious?"
Xiaojia shook his head, but his tone was stern: "Young Madam, these people are very skilled in martial arts, and they are not the same group as those from the past few days."
The situation is urgent now, so Xiaojia didn't pay much attention and just said it directly.
Jiang Ling's pupils shrank slightly, and her heart tightened.
A few days ago?
No wonder Zhou Jing'an was so nervous and worried.
It seemed that the past month had not been as peaceful as she had expected.
She clenched her fists, feeling both distressed and angry.
Xiao Jia continued, "I've already set off the fireworks. The secret guards the master has arranged must have received the signal, but it will take at least a quarter of an hour for them to arrive."
Jiang Ling was shocked again.
Master? That's Jiang Lianshan.
It seems they have hidden a lot from her.
But now is not the time to talk about this. Jiang Ling nodded and said, "Run away first, try your best to hold them back, and wait for the secret guards to arrive."
Xiaojia responded and stood guard beside them, and they fled together.
-
Looking at the increasing number of people in black behind them, there was no need to worry, as this group of people were coming for Jiang Ling and Xia Zhixian.
When they were about to step onto the carriage, there were only three secret guards left around them, including Xiaojia.
Jiang Ling pulled Xia Zhixian, who was about to get on the carriage, and said, "Mom, let's ride."
Horse-drawn carriages have too many limitations and accidents are very likely to occur.
Xia Zhixian hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Several people freed the horses from the carriage and each of them rode one.
Jiang Ling climbed onto the horse, her face full of determination, "Xiao Jia, protect the lady."
The men in black behind them were chasing them relentlessly. They had no time to chat. Xiaojia responded hurriedly, and the others rushed out on horseback.
There was an empty farmland outside the Chang family's farmland, and no matter how they ran, they would be the most conspicuous targets.
There was a city gate in the distance ahead, but no secret guards came to support them. Ye Song and Ye Bai were nowhere to be seen either. It seemed that they were being restrained.
Jiang Ling had a bad feeling, so he tightened his grip on the reins and gradually slowed down.
Xiaojia's body was covered in blood, and it was unclear whether it was his or the enemy's.
"Miss?" He looked at Jiang Ling's slowly retreating figure in surprise.
Jiang Ling, however, had a calm expression on her face. She shouted at him, "Protect my wife. Don't worry, I'll hold them off until the secret guards arrive and rescue me."
Xiao Jia refused. His mission was to protect Jiang Ling. How could he leave him behind?
Just as he turned his horse, a sharp arrow came at him. He just leaned over to avoid it when two men in black rushed over and separated him from Jiang Ling.
Ye Song and Ye Bai, along with a few secret guards, struggled to break out of the encirclement and rushed over, but were surrounded by a group of men in black.
The two sides started fighting again. Jiang Ling sat alone on his horse with a calm look on his face.
She looked straight at one of the men.
He came wearing black clothes and mask on horseback.
She turned her horse's head, wearing a red skirt with wide sleeves and a waist, the skirt fluttering in the wind. She turned her head, her hair slightly disheveled by her escape fluttering slightly, revealing her pair of determined eyes.
The blood stains on her cheeks, which appeared at some unknown time, made her look even more charming and solemn.
Ye Song, Ye Bai and Xiao Jia were surrounded by the men in black. There were too many of them and they were all very skilled. They could barely hold on but could not escape to save Jiang Ling. They could only watch anxiously as she was surrounded by the men in black.
Jiang Ling called out to Hu Hu in her heart: "Silly, how long will it take for the secret guards to arrive?"
Hu Hu, however, looked troubled. "Host, the secret guards arranged by Jiang Lianshan were also ambushed in the city. They are currently fighting with them and cannot escape for a while."
Jiang Ling sighed lightly. This situation was really difficult to resolve.
But... she looked at the dark crowd of enemies around her and sneered.
It was still directed at her.
Jiang Ling raised his eyes, a pair of eyes flashing with a sharp light, "I will go with you, get rid of these people."
She looked straight at the man, and it was obvious that he was the leader of the group.
The man only showed his eyes, which contained a hint of sarcasm.
"Do you think you still have bargaining chips?"
Jiang Ling felt vaguely that the voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
Her mind was working rapidly, and she suddenly looked up at him uncertainly, chuckled, and quickly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve. It was cold and sharp.
The handkerchief with the dagger rolled up in the sleeve also fell to the ground.
The next moment, Jiang Ling put the dagger to his neck without hesitation and looked at him calmly, "What now?"
-
Xiaojia and Ye Song were shocked when they saw Jiang Ling's actions and spoke out to stop her.
"Miss!" Xiaojia subconsciously called her Miss, and the speed of his hands rushing forward increased a little.
