General Lan seized Ning Xun's body, his thumb and forefinger gripping Ning Xun's throat. Ning Xun's face turned pale and his breathing became rapid.
General Lan ordered, "Open the city gates!!"
Ning Rong's face contorted with rage: "You dare to kidnap my elder brother? You've committed a capital offense!"
General Lan said, "Since it's already a capital offense, I can't care about anything else. I'll count to three. If you don't open the city gate by then, Ning Xun will die. Let's see how you explain this to Ning Hongxi!"
The guards were terrified and rushed forward without saying a word to open the city gate.
Ning Rong shouted, "Don't open it!!"
But it had no effect whatsoever.
In her rage, she didn't notice a white figure rushing towards her from fifty feet away. By the time she realized something was wrong, the figure was already in front of her.
She only had time to let out a scream before falling to the ground. The white figure caught her with its broad back. Ning Rong was so frightened that she hugged its neck. Bai Qi carried her and ran wildly towards the city gate!
"Sister!!" Ning Xun shouted anxiously.
His sister was carried away by a white wolf. Was it the same white wolf that accompanied the Crown Princess?
Damn it! What do we do now?
Guards chased after Bai Qi and Ning Rong, but they were no match for Bai Qi. They drew their bows to their full extent in an instant.
General Lan threw Ning Xun to the ground. Ning Xun got up and saw rows of archers ready to fire. His heart jumped into his throat.
"Stop! No more shooting!" Ning Xun shouted, his voice cracking. "If Miss is accidentally injured, can you take responsibility?"
The archers loosened their grip, the bowstrings slowly relaxed, and the arrows ultimately failed to fly.
Ning Xun watched the white wolf gradually disappear into the distance, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and felt extremely regretful. He regretted not shooting the two wolves dead the day he dealt with the Luo family and captured the deposed crown prince.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a passive position tonight!
"Quickly fetch the horse and come with me to save Miss!" Ning Xun was extremely anxious, fearing that Ning Rong might not survive.
They were also very afraid that Ning Rong's unborn child might not survive, as miscarriage would be another terrible threat to her life.
The guards immediately brought a brown horse, and Ning Xun selected a hundred men to accompany him out of the city to rescue Ning Rong.
General Lan witnessed the entire process, then rode his horse with his guards to catch up with Ning Xun, and laughed, "Young Master Ning, what a coincidence! Now we can leave the city together to rescue people! If the Emperor blames us later, we'll be punished together!"
Hearing his words and the smile in his tone, Ning Xun knew he was doing it on purpose, which made him even angrier!
He gritted his teeth and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that wolf is the Crown Princess's pet. If her pet hurts my Ning family's daughter, the Crown Princess will also be held responsible!"
General Lan exclaimed, "Huh?" "Did anyone see the Crown Princess's pet hurt your daughter, Ning? Did anyone see Ning being bitten? Did anyone see Ning bleeding? It seems not, right? But you, your injuries are quite obvious."
Ning Xun: "…………"
General Lan led his troops, closely following Ning Xun's footsteps; it could be said that the two teams were always side by side.
Ning Xun really didn't want to leave the city with his guards, but he couldn't just ignore Ning Rong's life or death.
Moreover, General Lan is traveling with so many guards, all of whom he personally trained. Each of them could easily take on two opponents at once. How could those assassins possibly handle General Lan's team?
Ning Xun frowned and chased after Bai Qi.
Autumn, pulling Spring and Summer Green along, hid in the grass and watched their procession pass by, letting out a long sigh of relief.
The three of them collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.
They had all seen Bai Qi just now, and Qiu Shen guessed that Bai Qi must have been called back by Ye Qingxue for help.
It's just unknown how Bai Qi managed to break into the city, and whether it was injured.
After resting for a short while, Qiu Shen got up and said, "You two rest here and go home when it gets light. I'll go with General Lan and the others to check out the situation. Maybe there's something I can do to help."
It's uncertain whether Ye Qingxue and Granny Xing will survive until General Lan's rescue arrives.
And what about Dongbai? I don't know how she is. We still need to borrow some people from General Lan to rescue her.
The torches illuminated both sides of the road.
After the group had been walking for about half an hour, General Lan and Ning Xun both discovered bloodstains on both sides of the road.
