Shen Jintang stopped in her tracks, glanced at him indifferently, and asked in return, "When did I say I didn't know martial arts?"
Her voice was calm and indifferent, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary.
She then walked towards the carriage with light and graceful movements.
Shen Huaixu was taken aback by her question, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his legs, and struggled to follow.
One of his legs was pierced by an arrow, and blood had soaked through his trousers, but he still persevered, limping toward the carriage.
"As for why I came here?" Shen Jintang walked to the carriage, slowly led the frightened horse back, and said in a calm tone, "The officials in Yanzhou Prefecture looked strange, and I heard that you sent Shishu to mobilize troops, so I sensed that something was wrong."
She gently patted the horse's neck to soothe it, and continued, "Just in case, I brought Liu Huo over to check on you, and we happened to find you being attacked."
Before long, Liu Huo had repaired the carriage.
"Go up and return to the city to heal your wounds." Shen Jintang gave Liu Huo a wink.

"But Master, if I leave, who will protect you?" Liu Huo asked, somewhat worried.
Shen Jintang mounted his horse, his tone slightly teasing: "Have you forgotten that your master also knows a little bit of martial arts?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Huo's face flushed slightly.
Yes, how could he forget that his skills were taught by his master?
If he can't even handle the situation with his master, what use is he over there?
"drive--"
Shen Jintang spurred the horse, and the horse, sensing its master's command, let out a long neigh and galloped off towards the west of the city.
As Shen Jintang rode his horse to the streets in the west of the city, his brows furrowed slightly.
Throughout the journey, she felt as if a faint gaze was watching her from behind.
She tilted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping sharply behind her: "Who?"
