194 Rescued, the one who helped

Dong Lingjiu rode out of the city, but he didn't expect that he would be ambushed by assassins just when he arrived at the city gate. Although the people around Dong Lingjiu were all elite, there were not many of them.

Although the ambushed people escaped because the soldiers arrived in time, Dong Lingjiu was injured. Under the persuasion of the guards, he had to return to the palace.

"What does this mean, Laojiu?" The emperor no longer understood what Dong Lingjiu was planning.

coincide?

If the emperor believes that this is a coincidence, he has lived so long in vain. There are not so many coincidences in this world.

The person who came to report stood at the bottom without saying a word.

He still didn't understand why the Ninth Prince wanted to leave the city when he was fine.

With capable subordinates here, Nanling's stronghold is not a problem at all. That place is very secretive, but it is a dead end. Once that stronghold is found, the people of Nanling can be outlasted even if they wait for it.

Why did the Ninth Prince leave the city at this time? Didn't he know that once he left the city, he would attract the emperor's attention?

"Is it because of Feng Qingchen?" The emperor quickly shook his head to deny this possibility.

The imperial family is the most ruthless. They will not take risks even for their own sons, let alone for a woman.

Besides, it was Dong Lingjiu who used Feng Qingchen as bait, and even brought up the scandal of the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion for this purpose.

The emperor's brows continued to frown, and the people who came to report did not dare to speak, just waiting for the emperor's order. After a long time, the emperor ordered: "Send Imperial Physician Sun, Imperial Physician Ye, and Imperial Physician Zhou to the Ninth Prince's Palace."

"Yes." The man took the order and left.

Dong Lingjiu was carried back covered in blood, and with the arrival of the imperial physician, the Ninth Prince's Mansion was in turmoil. Everyone nearby knew that the Ninth Prince was injured, and the injury was very serious.

…

Outside the city, Zhai Dongming and his group couldn't find Feng Qingchen, but they discovered something unusual, so they hurriedly walked towards the Nanling stronghold.

"Zhai Dongming, if Feng Qingchen is really kidnapped by the remnants of Prime Minister Zhu, I will never forgive you." Prince Chunyu's stubble appeared and his eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

As Feng Qingchen's disappearance went on longer and longer, Zhai Dongming became more and more uneasy. After hearing what Dong Ling Zichun said, he just said, "No, what does Zhu Xiang's followers want to do to capture Feng Qingchen? If they want to capture someone, they should capture us. Any one of us is more valuable than Feng Qingchen."

"They do want to, but they have to have the ability to do so." Wang Qi snorted.

…

The sound of horse hooves came to their ears, and Zhai Dongming and his men stopped immediately: "Someone is coming, who could it be at this time?"

"It's definitely not Feng Qingchen." Wang Qi said unhappily and sent guards to investigate.

Wang Qi was wrong. The sound of horse hooves was indeed the sound of Nanling Jinfan and Feng Qingchen guarding in the forest. Adding the flickering torches, how could it be hidden from Nanling Jinfan?

"Feng Qingchen, can't you tell that Dongling Jiuting cares about you? There are his people everywhere."

After going down the mountain, Nanling Jinfan met several groups of people along the way. If he had not been alert, he would have been caught. Without saying a word, Nanling Jinfan turned his horse around and headed to the other side of the forest.

Tonight, he was like a stray dog, being chased everywhere. Feng Qingchen didn't say a word along the way. He just watched Nanling Jinfan wandering around in the forest with cold eyes, not worrying at all that Nanling Jinfan would get lost.

Feng Qingchen has never been an emotional person. Although she was heartbroken when she heard that this was a trap set by the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen did not just remain sad.

The imperial family is the most ruthless. The Ninth Prince is a ruthless person. She can't think that the Ninth Prince takes her seriously just because he looks up to her.

Within the scope of principles and without harming his own interests, the Ninth Prince helped her, which was a favor from the royal family; but once it would harm his own interests, the Ninth Prince would definitely not help her, just like her.

She would not do anything that would harm her own rights for the sake of someone she just knew. She was not a saint, and the Ninth Prince was not a saint. How could she make these demands on the Ninth Prince?

She is not related to the Ninth Prince Uncle. Besides, even if she is related to the Ninth Prince Uncle, so what? The Emperor could use Dong Ling Ziluo's life and death to plot against the Ninth Prince Uncle. It is normal for the Ninth Prince Uncle and his gang to plot against her in the eyes of the royal family.

At this moment, she did not think about finding the way back, but was immersed in the sadness of being used by the Ninth Prince. She was truly stupid.

It was good that she met the Ninth Prince's people at the foot of the mountain. From their reactions, she knew that the Ninth Prince would not kill her. But what if she met other people? Would she still be so lucky? So it is better to rely on yourself than on others.

While Nanling Jinfan was fleeing, Feng Qingchen took the opportunity to take out the pistol hidden in his sleeve, secretly thinking of finding an opportunity to shoot Nanling Jinfan. As for the previous agreement with Nanling Jinfan?

What a joke! Neither she nor Nanling Jinfan would believe in such an agreement. If they really believed it, they would be stupid.

Besides, she could see that Nanling Jinfan and Zhou Xing had similarities, and others could see it too. If Nanling Jinfan stayed here, he would definitely be a disaster. Even if he didn't die, he had to return to Nanling.

The first thing she did when she returned was to deal with Zhou Xing. She couldn't afford to use someone like him.

After Zhou Xing's incident, she finally understood that compassion is not something that can be used indiscriminately. People on the street cannot be picked up casually. People who sell themselves to bury their father cannot be bought casually. If you are not careful, you will bring yourself a terrible disaster.

Nanling Jinfan didn't know that Feng Qingchen had already recovered from the blow of being used by the Ninth Prince, and his defense against Feng Qingchen was gradually weakening. Or perhaps, most men in this world looked down on women and believed that women were mostly emotional.

In order to escape the siege of Dongling soldiers, Nanling Jinfan kept rushing deeper into the forest. Perhaps the wild animals in the forest were frightened or Nanling Jinfan was lucky, but they did not encounter any wild animals along the way.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Feng Qingchen didn't find any opportunity along the way. In fact, she wouldn't dare to move even if she had the opportunity.

In the dark night, Feng Qingchen did not dare to stay in the forest alone, (5) for fear of encountering a group of beasts. Even if she had a gun to protect herself, she might not be able to escape unscathed. It was always a good thing to have someone to accompany her.

What's more, Nanling Jinfan would not kill her until she was out of danger. The two of them just dragged on like this until dawn broke through the darkness and the sky gradually brightened. Feng Qingchen knew that she had no choice but to take action against this group.

"three……"

"two……"

…

Feng Qingchen was counting down the time for his attack in his mind, but at this moment Nanling Jinfan pulled the reins and the horse stopped. Feng Qingchen was startled and quickly put the pistol back into his sleeve, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Did Nanling Jinfan discover it?

"Who is it? Come out?" Nanling Jinfan shouted towards the woods and drew his sword. Not knowing who the person was, Nanling Jinfan did not put the sword on Feng Qingchen's neck.

Huh... Feng Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

The forest was extremely quiet. Just when Feng Qingchen thought that Nanling Jinfan was being overly suspicious, a black shadow swooped down from the tree and pounced on her like a flying bird. It blocked Nanling Jinfan's knife with its long sword and snatched Feng Qingchen from his arms.

Everything happened so fast that Nanling Jinfan and Feng Qingchen were unable to come back to their senses.

Who is this person who suddenly attacked...
