1373 Cooperation, God helps those who help themselves
As Feng Qingchen expected, when the guards naively thought that Wang Jinling would be cautious and they could rush out, Wang Jinling decisively ordered, "Surround them and shoot the horse."
"Yes." The guards of the Wang family drew their bows and arrows without waiting for the horses to stop. The cold arrows were aimed at the galloping horses. As soon as they calculated the direction and speed of the opponent's movement, they let go and shot the arrows.
"Young Master, tell your men to retreat, otherwise I will chop off Miss Feng's hand." Prince Luo's guards were not stupid. Upon hearing Wang Jinling's order, they immediately dragged Feng Qingchen out.
With hostages in hand, they have nothing to fear.
As a hostage, Feng Qingchen had no possibility of refusing. Of course, she would not yell and scream, saying that she was scared and asking Wang Jinling to save her.
Feng Qingchen looked at Wang Jinling calmly, her lips slightly parted, silently telling Wang Jinling that she was fine and there was no need to worry.
At this time, her panic would only cause trouble for Wang Jinling, and her behavior as a hostage would seriously affect the judgment of the rescuers.
Sure enough, when Wang Jinling saw that Feng Qingchen did not panic or scream in pain, he calmed down and the worry in his heart was quietly put aside.
"Shoot." Wang Jinling was not threatened and gave the order decisively.
If he cuts off these people's retreat, Feng Qingchen will be taken away by them. He has no interest in leading a group of people to chase them into the city.
"Young Master, don't you care about Miss Feng's life or death?" Faced with Wang Jinling's tough attitude, Prince Luo's guards also became anxious. Are the hostages in their hands still useful?
The Wang family guards didn't care about all this. When Wang Jinling ordered them to shoot arrows, they shot the arrows in their hands at the horses pulling the cart without hesitation.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..." A long arrow came through the air and hit the horse's belly with a thud. Another arrow followed and hit the horse's eye.
"Hiss..." The horse neighed in pain and became wildly agitated, pedaling its limbs non-stop. The carriage was pulled around in circles and swayed constantly, making it impossible to stand still.
The sword on Feng Qingchen's neck slipped and left a bloody mark on Feng Qingchen's chest. Feng Qingchen cried out in pain again, but her voice was drowned out by the crazy horse. However, Wang Jinling saw it.
Wang Jinling narrowed his eyes, clenched his left hand into a fist, and threatened: "Listen to me, if Feng Qingchen gets hurt, I will tear down the Luo Palace."
"We are not..." The guards wanted to argue that they were not from Prince Luo's mansion, but Wang Jinling did not give them a chance to explain. He shouted, "Hurry up and drop the knife. Believe it or not, I will go to the palace now and ask the emperor to summon Prince Luo to the palace. Let's see what will happen to Prince Luo then."
Everyone has weaknesses. After learning that Prince Luo was injured, Wang Jinling was certain that it was Prince Luo's men who kidnapped Feng Qingchen, and that Prince Luo had done it personally.
“Young Master, you dare…” Although the guards were not afraid of Wang Jinling, they were really afraid that Wang Jinling would deal with Prince Luo.
Prince Luo is their master. If anything happens to Prince Luo, they dare not imagine how miserable they will be.
"You can try and see if I dare. When I count to three, drop the knife and jump out of the car." Wang Jinling didn't feel any pain even though his fingertips pierced his palm.
He was worried, worried about Feng Qingchen's current condition, but he knew he couldn't show it, let alone give in. Once he gave in, the other party would become strong.
"Three..." Wang Jinling's voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating. Even though the horse was still barking, King Luo's guards still heard Wang Jinling's words.
"What should we do?" The guards were panicked and confused. They couldn't understand why the situation turned out like this when they had hostages and the advantage.
"Two..." Wang Jinling's voice came again, and the guards became more and more confused.
At this time, Guard B, who had been guarding Feng Qingchen, spoke decisively: "Cut the ropes and jump out of the car."
With a clang, he threw away the knife in his hand, picked up Feng Qingchen, and jumped out of the car...
The others followed suit, and the guard driving the car quickly cut the rope that lassoed the horses.
The horse was injured and without the carriage to hold it back, it ran forward like mad, but before it had run far, it was shot dead by Wang's guards.
"Boom..." After King Luo's guards jumped down, the carriage also fell to the ground with a loud bang. Mud and dust flew everywhere, making it almost impossible to see the whereabouts of Feng Qingchen and the others.
Feng Qingchen's entire face was buried in the mud, covered in blood, and she was no longer conscious. She only knew that she was dragged up by someone and vaguely saw Wang Jinling. Feng Qingchen tried hard to force a smile, but she just couldn't.
Today, I really suffered a great loss.
"Let her go. I'll let you go." Wang Jinling rode forward, but did not dare to get too close, lest these people become desperate and attack Feng Qingchen ruthlessly.
"Young Master, let your men withdraw and let us go. We promise not to harm Miss Feng." The guards of Prince Luo's mansion calmed down after the incident of jumping out of the car.
They knew very well that the Wang family guards were very powerful. If Wang Jinling had not been concerned that Feng Qingchen was in their hands, the arrow would not have been shot at the horse, but at them.
"You have no right to bargain with me. Put the person down and I will let you leave safely. I, Wang Jinling, always keep my word." Wang Jinling turned over and got off the horse. When he saw the miserable Feng Qingchen, his heart ached. He put his left hand behind his back, quietly loosened and then clenched it again.
The moment he let go, one could clearly see his bloody palm.
Wang Jinling's guards also stepped forward at the right time and surrounded the guards of Prince Luo's Mansion.
"You and we believe in you, Master, but... we must take Miss Feng away." The guards of Prince Luo's mansion pulled Feng Qingchen hard and pushed her in front of the crowd: "Master, Miss Feng was caught in the rain all night yesterday and now she has a cold and fever. If she doesn't find a doctor, her life may be in danger. Master, you'd better think about it and let us go early for Miss Feng's health."
The guard did not lie. After wiping off the dust on Feng Qingchen's face, he could see her abnormally red cheeks.
Feng Qingchen has a high fever!
Wang Jinling's heart tightened, his eyes passed from Feng Qingchen's face to the Luo Wang guards, and he said coldly: "Let him go."
The guard's heart trembled, his hands trembled, but he straightened his back stubbornly: "Young Master, you'd better get out of the way, otherwise... we will dig out one of Miss Feng's eyes first."
As the guard spoke, he had a knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife was against the corner of Feng Qingchen's eye. Feng Qingchen felt the pain, and his mind became a little clearer.
After blinking his heavy eyelids for a long time, Feng Qingchen finally understood his situation. His eyelids drooped slightly and he glanced at the dagger that was glowing green. Feng Qingchen smiled bitterly in his heart.
How unlucky she was to have someone put a dagger to her eye.
Why didn't these people just try to destroy her face instead of gouging out her eyes?
It's so fucking annoying!
Feng Qingchen continued to squint her eyes, and quietly moved her hands that were tied behind her back. Her body had already loosened. As long as she was given a little more time, she would be able to knock down the person who was holding her hostage.
Feng Qingchen believed that as long as she got rid of this person, Wang Jinling's men would definitely be able to rescue her.
Before taking action, Feng Qingchen looked up at Wang Jinling and blinked at him, signaling Wang Jinling to cooperate with her actions...
