Shen Tangning was slightly surprised. Someone had caught up with them so quickly?
As the sound of horses' hooves drew closer, she couldn't help but advise:
"Your Highness, let's go quickly."
She also needs to find a place to hide, otherwise if someone sees her here, it will be hard to explain.
The shadow guards dragged several boats out of the reeds. Jiang Zhijing stepped onto one of the boats, glanced back at the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came, and frowned.
"Jiang Yunxian, you dog!"
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves rose, raising dust as the leader craned his neck and began to curse.
Recognizing the owner of the voice, Jiang Zhijing raised an eyebrow but didn't rush to make a move.
Shen Tangning was also stunned. It wasn't pursuers who had arrived.
Dorje jerked on the reins, dismounted, and glared fiercely at Jiang Zhijing: "You've really tricked me!"
The most shocked person was undoubtedly him when his former nemesis turned out to be a girl. He felt ashamed when he thought about how he had lost to her time and time again.
It's no wonder he didn't recognize her. Jiang Yunxian always wore a mask when going to the battlefield. He had maliciously speculated that she must look like a pretty boy and wore a mask to avoid being ridiculed by her opponents. Who knew she was actually a woman?!
The latter glanced at him leisurely and said slowly, "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Jiang Zhijing."
Dorjee was stunned for a moment, then readily agreed: "Jiang Zhijing, you dog!"
"..."
He suddenly caught sight of Shen Tangning, who was discreetly hiding in the reeds beside him, and his eyes lit up: "Beauty?"
Shen Tangning froze, then stood up straight awkwardly: "Your Highness."
"Beautiful my foot! What are you doing here?"
Jiang Zhijing interrupted him impatiently, and Dorje slapped his forehead: "Of course I escaped! Oh no, I almost forgot, they're coming after us!"
Another thunderous sound of hooves approached. Jiang Zhijing's expression changed, and she gritted her teeth as she squeezed out, "Fool, why don't you forget yourself?"
She ordered her men to row, and Dorje, ignoring his grumbling, waded through the water, brazenly squeezed in, and bossed them around: "Take me with you! And bring my men too!"
He was completely shameless in ordering people around, but who was responsible for his current predicament?
Jiang Zhijing ignored him and looked at Shen Tangning on the shore, slightly curving her lips: "Go back, Shen Tangning, we will meet again if fate allows."
Shen Tangning stared at her intently: "Your Highness, the journey is long and arduous; please take care."
Next, Jiang Zhijing will face pursuit from both countries. Even if she escapes Daqing, Qi will not let her go.
Not to be outdone, Dorje raised an eyebrow with a wicked grin: "Little beauty, see you again someday... Aww!"
Jiang Zhijing withdrew her foot, threatening in a sinister tone: "What are you glaring at me for? If you say another word, I'll kick you off the boat and you can swim back yourself!"
Dorjee could only swallow his anger and silently grumble to himself:
No wonder he was blind before; she doesn't look like a woman at all.
Meeting Shen Tangning's gaze, Jiang Zhijing waved her hand dismissively. Rain was falling on the river, and the hazy mist swallowed her figure.
Shen Tangning led Yuan Zhao and the others into the reeds and lay in wait.
The pursuers had arrived, and they caught sight of horses lingering on the shore. However, seeing the misty water, they were helpless as they had no boat and could only stand on the shore and stare blankly.
Once the pursuers were far away, she stood up and said, "Let's go back too."
...
On the city gate tower, a red umbrella stands out conspicuously.
The umbrella was raised, revealing Yan Mingyi's bright and beautiful face.
