Gu Linchao's face was terribly grim. "Lü Qiao, tell me the direction that person left in."
The sudden change of events left Lü Qiao in a panic.
She was extremely worried and anxious when Wen Nongnong was kidnapped, but there was nothing she could do.
Seeing that Gu Linchao was injured in many places on his face and body, yet still thinking of rescuing Wen Nongnong, she was at a loss. She could only force herself to calm down and advised, "Your Highness can't catch up with that person now. Let's wait for Eunuch Wang and the others."
"No, Nong Nong can't wait, she's been taken away." Gu Linchao's usually calm face had lost its composure. He leaned on his sword and struggled to stand up.
Lü Qiao quickly supported him, suppressing her worry for Wen Nong Nong, and comforted him, as well as herself, "Miss should be safe for the time being. That person just said that you need to exchange your military token for it. They won't harm Miss until you get the token. On the contrary, the Prince is injured now and should be bandaged first."
Gu Linchao shoved her away, picked up his sword, and took a few steps forward, but due to anger and shock, his vision went black and he collapsed.
"Your Highness!" Green Fairy cried out in a panic, rushing forward to help him up, only to find that he had already fainted.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao was both shocked and anxious. She didn't know how Bai Li was doing. What if the assassin caught up with her again?
The young lady has been captured again, and the prince has fainted again...
Green Beauty had never experienced such a change before, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
"Brother Gu?"
Just then, Shen Qingning's voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Green Fairy was startled and turned around to see Shen Qingning, who had come from nowhere.
Upon seeing her, Lü Qiao was quite annoyed and coldly said, "Get away from me and don't come near my master."
Shen Qingning said somewhat helplessly, "Miss Lüqiao, I see that Brother Gu's injuries are quite serious. Let me take a look at him first."
"I don't need your pretense." Lü Qiao stood up and blocked Gu Linchao behind her, preventing her from getting any closer.
Shen Qingning said seriously, "Now is not the time for you to act rashly. Brother Gu is already unconscious. If he gets hurt anywhere, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Green Fairy was naturally worried about Gu Linchao's injuries, but how could she let such a wicked woman get close to him?
"You don't need to worry about that. We're not related, so it's best for Miss Chen to keep her distance."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Shen Qingning's eyes, and she pinched a silver needle with her fingers under her sleeve.
In the wilderness, if...
"Green Beauty!" Just then, White Pear, covered in blood, ran over carrying a sword.
Shen Qingning was startled and quietly withdrew the silver needle.
"Bai Li." Lü Qiao was both surprised and delighted to see her, but then she became anxious again when she thought of Wen Nongnong who had been captured and Gu Linchao who was unconscious. "Miss has been captured, and Master is also injured and unconscious..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li's expression changed, "Miss, she..."
Lü Qiao glanced at Shen Qingning, who was standing to the side and wouldn't leave, and stopped talking, saying only, "Master is unconscious, let's take him to the inn first."
Bai Li nodded. "That's the only way."
"Are you injured?" Green Fairy noticed that her clothes were covered in blood and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, it was those assassins." Bai Li leaned on her sword and tried to help Gu Linchao up.
Shen Qingning quickly stepped forward to help, "Brother Gu is unconscious and being chased by assassins. Let's take him to my house; it will be safer there."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li drew her sword and pointed it at her, saying, "Don't think that just because my young lady is being polite to you, you can act like you're something special. My young lady isn't here now, so don't mess with me, or I'll kill you right now."
Shen Qingning frowned, about to speak, when a voice spoke first: "Let's see who dares to be impolite to my disciple."
Shen Qingning turned her head and saw that it was her master. Her face lit up with joy. "Master, what brings you here?"
"You silly girl, you sneaked down the mountain while I was taking a nap. I knew you were here to see this kid," the old man said helplessly.
Shen Qingning said worriedly, "But Brother Gu is injured, and they won't let me treat him." She sighed as she spoke.
The old man glanced at Lü Qiao and Bai Li, who were guarding Gu Linchao, and snorted coldly, "Just two little girls." With that, he flicked his sleeve and used his energy to sweep the two away.
Bai Li was alright, but Lü Qiao coughed up a mouthful of blood.
She quickly helped her up, glaring at the old woman in shock and anger. "How dare you, at your age, bully two juniors like us! Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed if word gets out?"
"If it weren't for the fact that you two are juniors, I wouldn't have just given you a lecture," the old man said dismissively.
Shen Qingning glanced at the two apologetically, "We were just worried about Brother Gu's injuries and were eager to save him. We hope you can understand." With that, she walked towards Gu Linchao.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao rushed over and pushed her away, saying, "Don't touch my master."
Shen Qingning stumbled from the push and felt a surge of anger, but before she could reprimand him, the old man had already slapped Lü Qiao across the face from a distance.
"You stubborn brat, you're really obstinate. It's an honor for you that we're willing to save your master, yet you keep obstructing us. What are you up to?"
Green Beauty was slapped so hard she stumbled back two steps, almost falling over, when a hand reached out from behind, grabbed her collar, and said in a tone full of disdain, "To be bullied to this extent, you really have guts."
When Lü Qiao heard the familiar voice, she was stunned for a moment, then turned her head abruptly and saw that it was indeed that annoying guy, Si Yi.
But upon seeing him now, she didn't feel the same dislike as before; instead, she felt a surge of joy and almost burst into tears of happiness.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw him suddenly raise his hand and slap Shen Qingning, who was standing to the side.
"When did it become your place to lecture us, the people of the Regent's Palace?"
Caught off guard, Shen Qingning was slapped so hard she fell to the ground.
The old man glared angrily at Si Yi, "And who are you, you brat?" Just as he was about to make a move, a group of people rushed over from the side.
"Si Yi, have you found the Prince?" Wang Houde rushed over anxiously.
Si Yi released Lü Qiao and said in a deep voice, "Found it, it's right here." After saying that, he quickly walked towards Gu Linchao.
Wang Houde also saw Gu Linchao lying unconscious on the ground. His heart sank, and he quickly stepped forward and, together with Si, helped the man up.
After seeing Gu Linchao off to the carriage, Wang Houde looked at Bai Li and Lü Qiao who had followed and asked, "Where is the Princess Consort?"
Upon hearing this, both of them lowered their heads and said remorsefully, "The princess... has been captured."
"What?!" Wang Houde exclaimed in shock, turning to look at Si Yi. "What should we do?"
Si Yi, who was already in the carriage, frowned upon hearing this. "We'll discuss this further after Master wakes up."
As she spoke, she glanced at Lü Qiao and Bai Li, "You two come up too."
The two boarded the carriage as instructed.
The group of people left quickly.
