The guards of the Duke's Mansion were standing to the right of the entrance to the horse farm, with a small forest behind them.

The assassin shot arrows from behind and then dragged the people to the small forest.

When Xiaoqing brought Yuhe, they saw the people in the horse farm running out in panic, shouting: "Murder! Murder!" Their hearts jumped, and they hurriedly grabbed someone to ask.

The man said that at first they heard the sound of swords and thought it was an illusion, but later they found that a dense rain of arrows was shot from the small hillside at the edge of the horse farm. Looking forward, all the guards who were sitting on the horse just now were gone. The brave people went to look for them and saw that in the small forest nearby, someone used the dry grass stolen from the stable as a cover, and hid a lot of people underneath.

Everyone in the horse farm suddenly realized what was going on. They felt goosebumps on their backs and broke out in cold sweats. They dared not stay any longer and ran out one after another.

Many people even ran to the government to report to the police.

Yuhe's face suddenly turned pale. The guards of the Duke's Mansion had all been killed. The fact that they could attack at the same time showed that the enemy had a large number of people. At this time, there were only two girls... It was hard to save their lives...

She was sweating profusely and quickly asked someone to send more people.

Xiaoqing turned around and looked at the still warm corpse in the grove. Her mind went blank at that moment. She came to her senses and did not dare to think about whether there was Qiansheng inside. She just turned around and rode a horse while crying and ran towards Nanwu Mountain.

Find the aunt... The aunt can save the young lady...

Yuhe hurriedly took the existing dozens of people to look everywhere.

A guard shouted loudly: "There are traces here!"

Yuhe ran over with her skirt lifted up, climbed up the hillside, and then froze in place.

There were dense arrows stuck below, and many had been cut in two. There were five or six men in black lying in all directions, and the green grass was stained with a lot of blood, and it was hard to tell whose it was. A horse was not far away, eating grass.

Yuhe was out of breath all of a sudden... The deputy commander pointed to the direction of the footprints and said, "Chase!"

The guards hurriedly ran down the hillside, chasing along the footprints and bloodstains.

————

On the Nanwu Mountain, guards in black iron helmets, long swords on their waists and spears in their hands lined

up in a strict formation, guarding from the foot of the mountain to the top. Xiao Tuo was in charge of patrolling the foot of the mountain. He came around from the back and just as he arrived at the mountain gate, he was about to take a break when he heard the neat sound of swords being unsheathed: "Who's coming?!"

He adjusted his helmet, and before he could look around the big tree in front of him that blocked his view, he heard Xiaoqing crying: "Aunt! The young lady is in trouble!"

"Aunt! Wuwuwuwu..."

His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly told the people next to him and ran out.

Xiao Tuo quickly untied the rope, climbed onto the horse, and said coldly: "Let's talk while we walk."

Xiao Qing quickly wiped away her tears, followed Xiao Tuo as much as possible, and said loudly: "Today, the young lady took the princess to ride horses outside the capital. She was afraid of accidents, so she brought twenty servants with her. But when we got there, everyone was dead..."

Xiao Tuo's eyes flickered slightly, and his dark eyes were instantly filled with monstrous hostility. It seemed as if someone had grabbed her heart and squeezed it to pieces.

Thinking that the young lady was still alive and dead, and the dead might have money inside, Xiao Qing's tears welled up. She bit her lip and wiped away the hot tears.

After Xiao Tuo knew the location, he sped up, left Xiao Qing far behind, and galloped away on his horse.

As soon as he arrived at the stables, he smelled a bloody odor.

Several guards stood at the edge of the stables. Xiao Tuo rode over. Several guards in the palace knew that the one with the princess was the second wife of the Duke's Mansion. When they saw Xiao Tuo coming, they immediately bowed and said, "Mr. Xiao, we found traces of a fight here."

Xiao Tuo's brows wrinkled into two deep shadows, and he rode up the hill.

The ground was in a mess and blood.

It was the place where his girl had just fought.

She must still be alive, definitely.

Xiao Tuo's throat and eyes were swollen and painful, and his hands holding the reins trembled slightly.

He forced himself to calm down, "Drive!"

Xiao Tuo ran down wildly, and just after leaving the stables, he heard the neighing of the shadow.

Xiao Tuo's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward at a faster speed, and saw Zhuiying running towards him, with silver bells ringing, and no one on horseback.

Upon seeing Xiao Tuo, Zhuiying shouted even more urgently, and his horse's hooves kept stomping on the ground, and then turned around

and ran back. Xiao Tuo knew that he was going to lead the way, so he hurriedly followed Zhuiying.

The footprints and horse hoof prints disappeared near here. Yuhe and others wandered around here for a long time but didn't see any figure. When they saw Xiao Tuo, they hurriedly followed with the guards.

Near the bend, there was a small intersection, which was hidden by rocks and trees and was not very obvious. Zhuiying stopped at the intersection and shook his head towards the inside with a hoarse sound. Xiao Tuo's tense hands with bulging veins were reflected in his dark eyes.

Xiao Tuo picked up the bow and arrow, put the quiver on his back, turned over and dismounted, and ran down.

He followed the footprints and bloodstains all the way, and when he passed a towering tree, he saw the stone under Jiang Yuanyi's feet loosen and the whole person fell down.

Xiao Tuo's breathing paused slightly, and he immediately ran wildly, stepped on a stone to jump up, and finally held his girl in his arms.

The familiar breath mixed with the bloody smell on his body and the smell of green grass in the mountains came, and Jiang Yuanyi's tense muscles seemed to be soaked in warm water and relaxed.

At the same time, the overwhelming pain swept over her, and she couldn't help but hummed, and trembled a few times in Xiao Tuo's arms. Jiang Yuanyi raised her eyes slightly and saw Xiao Tuo's red eyes, his dark pupils flashing with water.

Jiang Yuanyi had never seen him so flustered and anxious before. She raised her blood-stained and muddy hands tremblingly and touched his cheeks, then smiled at him, "I'm fine."

Her hair was messy, her face was a mess of mud and blood, her shoulders and waist were severely injured, and the clothes around her were all stained into a deep and sticky black. But she was still smiling, and Xiao Tuo felt a surge of anger in his body, with a chill and murderous feeling, wanting to cut his skin.

Xiao Tuo put her aside, leaned over, and kissed Jiang Yuanyi's forehead.

With his warm palm resting on his head, Jiang Yuanyi leaned against the stone. He raised his head slightly and saw Xiao Tuo turning around to look at him. The light outlined his face with sharp and clear lines, and his brow bone was deep along the curve of his nose. The light and shadow fell, and a ghostly shadow flashed in his eyes. Xiao Tuo

threw the bow and arrow on the ground, pulled out the sword with his slender and powerful hands, and rushed forward at high speed.

He bent down slightly, holding the sword in both hands like an angry wolf, and scared the man in black so much that he took a few steps back.

Xiao Tuo swung his sword left and right, deflecting all the swords that were coming at him, and kept approaching them.

The man in black was so shocked that his arm was numb, and many gaps had been cut on the blade. Then a strong wind approached, a sharp white light passed in front of his eyes, and a severe pain came from his waist.

"Puff--"

the man in black spat out blood.

Yu He ran in with people, and saw Xiao Tuo quickly killing two people with a red knife, his brows gloomy.

In her impression, the second young master of the Duke's Mansion has always been careless and sloppy. It was the first time that Yu He saw Xiao Tuo's face gloomy, and he killed people without blinking. She was a little scared immediately.

Yu He looked up and saw the princess standing by a big rock halfway up the mountain. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she was unharmed. Jiang Yuanyi was lying by a rock at the bottom of the slope, her face pale and covered in blood.

Xiao Tuo grabbed it with his backhand and approached it abruptly. The man in black saw the man's dark and cold eyes, and then his neck felt cold...

Xiao Tuo wiped the blood on his face and turned to look at Yu He, with a bloody murderous intent in his eyes: "Why don't you save people?"

Yu He felt a numbness on her back, and quickly led her people to Jiang Yuanyi's side. Several guards climbed up and took Ming Yue down.

Jiang Yuanyi fell to the ground, dying. Mingyue knelt beside her, crying: "Master!"

"I'm sorry, Mingyue shouldn't be so willful..."

Jiang Yuanyi shook her head, her voice floating: "Fortunately you came to find me today..." Otherwise, I would have been kidnapped long ago.

The deputy commander of the imperial army stood aside with a dozen guards, not daring to step forward to help.

When only a few people were left, the deputy commander stepped forward anxiously: "Second Master, we must leave some alive for interrogation!"

Xiao Tuo glanced at him coldly, and mercilessly stabbed a knife into the heart of the man in black in front of him.

Deputy commander: "..."

You are more terrifying than that commander Yan Wang.

Xiao Tuo kicked the man aside, put the sword back into the scabbard, turned around and walked away.

The deputy commander breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent people to capture the others alive.

The guards were about to lift Jiang Yuanyi up when they felt a cold gaze behind them. They all quickly withdrew their hands and stepped back to make way.

Mingyue stood up and looked at Xiaotuo: "Brother Xiaotuo..."

Xiaotuo ignored her and leaned over to gently pick up Jiang Yuanyi.

Mingyue wiped away her tears and looked at Yuhe: "Go and call Doctor Liu."

Yuhe: "Yes."

Xiaoqing had never ridden so fast before. She got off the horse with a pale face and stumbled towards the crowded place.

Jiang Yuanyi lay in Xiaotuo's arms with her eyes closed, a slender arm hanging outside, covered in blood.

Xiaoqing covered her mouth, lifted her skirt and ran over, tears streaming down

her face: "Miss..." Xiao Tuo looked down at her: "You're crying so hard, hold it back."

Xiaoqing choked, tears hanging in the air, not daring to fall. She thought of the grove where the bodies were lying, and while crying, she whispered in Jiang Yuanyi's ear: "Miss, I'll find someone and come back to accompany you."

Jiang Yuanyi opened her eyes weakly and nodded.

Xiaoqing quickly ran out with her skirt lifted, running all the way to the grove, her hands and feet trembling as she walked to the bodies.

"Ahhh!" Xiaoqing cried and squatted down to see what those people looked like.

She was timid and her lips were trembling.

Someone suddenly patted Xiaoqing's shoulder. Xiaoqing jumped up in fright. Before she jumped out of the ground, someone held her shoulders. A familiar voice came from behind: "Xiaoqing, what are you doing here?"

Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then turned around and hugged him.

The soft and fragrant body of the girl filled his arms. Qiansheng was stunned for a few moments.

The little girl lay on his shoulder and cried breathlessly. Qiansheng reached out his hand and smoothed her back stiffly.

When she recovered, Qiansheng gently held her wrist: "Let's go out first."

The people from the Duke's Mansion sent a carriage. Xiao Tuo held Jiang Yuanyi and sat on it, carefully holding her in his arms.

The person in his arms was breathing weakly. He was small and thin, curled up in his arms, covered with wounds and blood.

Xiao Tuo only felt that there were needles flowing along his blood, piercing every inch of his insides with sharp and secret pain.

The hand placed aside was suddenly held by a pair of soft and slightly cool hands. Xiao Tuo lowered his eyes and saw that Jiang Yuanyi had opened her eyes without knowing when. Her narrow eyes were slightly curved, revealing ripples and fragmented light.

Xiao Tuo heard her say softly: "Come down a little."

Xiao Tuo buried himself a little closer: "Why..."

Before he finished speaking, a pair of slightly cool hands gently hooked the back of his neck and pressed down, and then, a soft and warm touch came from his lips.

The author has something to say: Xiao Tuo: My heart is broken, please don't miss me.
