"Miss——" Tongxi exclaimed.
Hongying turned around and saw what was happening. With a delicate cry, she pushed away the assassins attacking her and ran towards the carriage at full speed, saying, "Stop them first."
Hongying was running very fast. Seeing that the horse's head was not far away from her, she accelerated and took advantage of a slender willow tree by the side of the road. She kicked off and jumped onto the horse.
The frightened horse was actually slowly calmed down by her. Hongying immediately asked, "Miss Ren, are you hurt anywhere?"
Ren Yaoqi's calm and steady voice echoed from inside the car: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Are you hurt?"
Although he was frightened just now, Ren Yaoqi was also a man who had experienced many storms, so he quickly calmed down. Fortunately, Hongying was skilled and brave, and soon caught up with him.
Hongying said, "We are fine too, Miss Ren. These people came in strange ways. I'm afraid there might be another ambush. We only have a few people, so it's better not to disperse."
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "It's up to you to decide."
Hongying turned her horse around and headed back.
Unexpectedly, after walking back for a while, four people suddenly jumped out from the side, holding knives and slashing at Hongying who was sitting on the shaft of the cart.
Hongying gritted her teeth, controlled the carriage with one hand, and whipped the enemy back. But it was difficult for her to block the attacks of four pairs of hands with just one hand.
One of the assassins seized the opportunity and slashed the connection between the horse and the carriage with his knife. The horse neighed and ran away. If the carriage had not been made of special materials and was very sturdy, the carriage would have almost overturned.
Hongying knew something was wrong when she saw this, so she gritted her teeth and wanted to go up and fight.
At this time, another person flew over and joined the battle. Hongying saw that it was Tongxi.
Tongxi was born in the Xianwang Mansion, so she felt more concerned and responsible for Ren Yaoqi's safety. Seeing that Ren Yaoqi and Hongying had not returned for a long time, she was afraid that something had happened, so she handed them over to the other two guards and caught up with them, just in time to rescue Hongying.
Tongxi then took on most of the attacks, saying to Hongying, "Quickly take the young lady away from here and hide. I'll hold them off."
Hongying frowned, but the situation didn't allow her to hesitate. If other enemies showed up, it would be bad. She turned around, opened the curtain, and helped Ren Yaoqi out: "Let's go first."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Tongxi.
Tongxi seemed to have eyes on his back and said without turning his head: "Miss, please leave quickly. You know my special skills. Only when you leave can I escape."
Upon hearing this, Ren Yaoqi no longer hesitated and followed Hongying with Pingguo.
Tongxi's specialty is running fast. It is difficult for anyone to catch up with him when he runs. On the contrary, Ren Yaoqi would be a hindrance if he stayed here.
Even after Ren Yaoqi had walked far away, he could still hear Tongxi beating and cursing: "You bunch of stupid assassins! Are your eyes blind? Didn't you realize you killed the wrong person? Why are you still fighting!"
Unfortunately, those people ignored him.
Hongying pulled Ren Yaoqi towards the narrow path. Even if a large number of assassins came after them, they would not be able to move freely. It would be much easier for her to deal with them one by one.
In the summer, the paths were lined with long, jagged grass, nearly a meter tall. Ren Yaoqi's hands were scratched several times, burning with pain. She even had a cut on her chin. But Ren Yaoqi didn't say a word.
After running for who knows how long, Hongying finally stopped. She looked around carefully, then lay on the ground and listened carefully. She heard nothing and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
