"Reporting to Miss Lin, our informant reports that a figure resembling the Bamboo Shadow Guard was spotted in the outskirts of the city at Chenshi (7-9 AM) today."
Lin Ruoyan's eyes lit up. She gently flicked her jade fan and asked in a cold voice, "Is he alone?"
"It is said that a young master was riding behind Zhu Ying."
An additional carriage followed, and the two carriages headed together towards the west side of the city gate.
"Oh? So you're trying to escape from the capital?"
“Miss Lin, should we stop them? There is only one road to the west of the capital, which leads from Niubei Mountain to Jiaozhou.”
If we pursue them from behind, we can quickly capture them all.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoyan's eyes darkened, and she coldly gave the order.
"Once they have penetrated deep into Niubei Mountain, we will order our henchmen to take them down in one fell swoop."
"Yes, Your Majesty! I obey!"
Bamboo Shadow, I've already given you a chance to live.
This time, let me see how you survive in this dangerous world!
In early summer, the sweltering air makes people feel hot and stuffy inside and out.
Just as the sun was high in the sky, Gu Qianluo and her group arrived at the foot of Niubei Mountain.
Gu Qianlu lifted the carriage curtain; the sunlight overhead was mostly blocked by the large trees. She then made a suggestion.
"Bamboo Shadow, why don't we stop and rest? The horses have been running all day and they must be tired. Let them graze for a while."
"Whoa~~~" Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying quickly stopped the carriage next to a large tree.
"Very well, let's do as Miss Gu says!"
Seeing the carriage ahead stop, Tang Jiuzhao's coachman turned to look at his master behind him and reminded him,
"Sect Leader Tang, Miss Gu and Zhuying have stopped to rest."
After a moment of silence, Tang Jiuzhao coldly said, "In that case, let's rest for a while!"
"good!"
Once the carriage came to a stop, Gu Qianlu stretched and slowly got up, walking towards the carriage curtain.
As soon as she lifted the carriage curtain, she saw several streaks of cold light flying from fifty meters in front of Zhu Ying.
Gu Qianlu's eyes turned cold, and she immediately recognized Leng Jian's appearance. "Zhu Ying, be careful!"
In the nick of time, she quickly kicked out with her left leg, knocking the bamboo shadow to the ground, and then quickly squatted down and jumped off the carriage.
In an instant, with a few "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounds, the carriage was riddled with holes.
Suddenly, dozens of masked men in black, wielding large knives, flew down from all directions and stabbed at Gu Qianlu in unison.
Startled, Zhu Ying drew her sword from her waist and fought with the man in black.
Although Gu Qianluo did not know martial arts, she had learned several unique skills from Tang Jiuzhao since she was a child.
Gu Qianlu activated the hidden weapon in her sleeve. Before long, several men in black who were approaching her had even raised their knives, they were struck in vital areas and fell to the ground.
However, the men in black did not back down; on the contrary, more and more men in black jumped down from the trees.
Bamboo Shadow spun around and flew to Gu Qianluo's side in an instant, unleashing a spinning slashing technique that struck several men in black, causing them to fall to the ground.
"Miss Gu, quick! Run to Sect Leader Tang's side!"
The man in black continued to approach Gu Qianluo and Zhu Ying. She looked up at Zhu Ying's injured and bleeding arm and said worriedly,
"Zhuying, I'm leaving. What will you do? Let me see, your shoulder is bleeding!"
Zhu Ying then realized that she could no longer use her arms, while the man in black continued to attack the two of them.
"Miss Gu, run! My hand is ruined! I can't protect you anymore."
At this moment, Gu Qianluo had almost run out of sleeve needles.
"Miss Gu, someone has tried to kill you. Sorry to offend them!"
Suddenly, a rough male voice came from above, and a man in black, wearing a black headscarf and a black mask, descended from the sky.
After saying that, the man in black raised his sharp blade and slashed at Gu Qianluo.
Zhu Ying narrowed his eyes, quickly ran to Gu Qianluo's side, pushed her to the ground, and the sharp blade sliced across Zhu Ying's chest, the bright red blood staining his clothes.
Suddenly, Zhu Ying felt a blur of white light in her vision, and she collapsed to the ground, swaying unsteadily.
"Bamboo Shadow!" Gu Qianlu's eyes flashed with a fierce light. She picked up the Bamboo Shadow sword and thrust it at the man in black.
The man in black was unable to dodge in time and was stabbed in a vital spot by Gu Qianluo, causing him to lose consciousness.
A moment later, a rustling sound came from above.
Gu Qianluo and Tang Jiuzhao looked up at the same time and saw a large group of people jumping down from the tree.
Tang Jiuzhao's eyes were deep. He took out a smoke bomb from his body and threw it into the sky. With a "whoosh", it scattered into the air.
Suddenly, colorful smoke filled the air.
The men in black fell into the smoke, each covering their reddened eyes, rolling around on the ground as if in great pain.
Taking advantage of the black-clad man's predicament, Tang Jiuzhao exchanged a glance with Gu Qianluo, who was not far away, and pointed to the cave on the left.
Gu Qianlu lifted Zhu Ying's arm onto her shoulder and pulled him toward the direction Tang Jiuzhao pointed.
"Luo'er, stay in the cave and don't run around."
This whole thing is definitely targeting you! If they find out, they won't let you off the hook!
Gu Qianluo narrowed her eyes slightly, watching Tang Jiuzhao's retreating figure, and gave him instructions.
"Brother Tang! Please be extra careful!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Jiuzhao's eyes revealed a satisfied expression, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Don't worry! I'm not Chen Jinheng! I won't abandon you!"
Gu Qianluo felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart.
Tang Jiuzhao plucked a tender leaf from the tree beside him.
He gently placed a leaf to his lips with his slender fingers, and after a moment, a melodious tune came from his mouth.
The melody, like that of an oriole, is light and melodious, echoing for a long time among the cliffs.
