With a sharp "clang," the string in Ning Xun's mind snapped completely. His face turned deathly pale, and his body swayed violently.
Ye Qingxue didn't die! She really didn't die! In fact, she came up from the bottom of the cliff. Such a high cliff, so many assassins, she was drugged, and she was pregnant, yet she still survived!
Heaven has been far too kind to her!
"Whoosh!!"
An arrow pierced the air, heading straight for Ye Qingxue's vital point, but Ye Qingxue had just been pulled to the cliff and hadn't even regained her footing yet.
Seeing this, Ning Xun's heart, which had just been filled with despair, was filled with hope again!
General Lan was busy dealing with the assassins around him, while the others were busy pulling Ye Qingxue up. Surely this arrow would kill Ye Qingxue!
Ning Xun's eyes instantly turned fervent.
Unexpectedly, at that critical moment, Bai Qi suddenly leaped up, pounced, and bit the extremely lethal arrow from the side!
Ning Xun: "..."
The passion that had just been ignited cooled down in an instant.
Bai Qi landed steadily and spat out the arrow. Ye Qingxue had also stood firm, and the guards rushed forward in unison to stand guard beside her.
Ning Xun was stunned. Now, there was no longer any possibility of killing her.
The sound of the assassins retreating was incredibly fast!
Bai Qi, having spat out the arrow, leaped to Ye Qingxue's side, jumping and hopping around her joyfully, constantly rubbing its head against her waist. Ye Qingxue smiled weakly and rubbed its head.
"Bai Qi is truly amazing," Ye Qingxue praised.
Bai Qi was very happy and kept nuzzling his head into her palm.
While rubbing it, Ye Qingxue said, "General Lan, Zhuang Xin is still down there. Please arrange for two people to go down and pull him up. He is seriously injured and unconscious."
She had just tied a rope around her armpits and secured herself to the ground. The person above was pulling her up, but she also struggled to climb.
However, Zhuang Xin was unconscious and unable to move on his own, so more people were needed to go down and tie him up, and bring him up with them. They also had to make sure that he wouldn't be injured again during the process of being pulled up.
"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to go down right now!" General Lan said solemnly.
Now that there are no assassins surrounding and sabotaging us, it's much easier to send people down to rescue Zhuang Xin than before.
Bai Qi suddenly ran away from Ye Qingxue.
The torch illuminated his figure as he darted away.
Ye Qingxue's heart tightened. Had Bai Qi discovered something?
Ning Xun finally reacted and rushed to Ye Qingxue: "Crown Princess, I sympathize with your plight of being assassinated! But why did you arrange for your pet wolf to kidnap my sister! My sister did not harm you! Do you have no regard for the law?!"
Yes, strike first and see!
No one saw the Ning family hire assassins to hunt down Ye Qingxue, but many people did see that Ye Qingxue's pet wolf kidnapped his sister.
Ye Qingxue must pay the price for this!
Hearing his voice, Ye Qingxue slowly raised her eyes and looked at Ning Xun, her gaze turning icy cold. "Why did my Bai Qi kidnap the Ning family's daughter for no reason?"
“We are here by order of the Emperor to guard the city gates. Once locked, no one is allowed to enter or leave. My sister only came to visit me, but she was kidnapped by your Bai Qi. We still don’t know what happened to her. If anything happens to my sister, even if you are the Crown Princess, you must give the Ning family an explanation!”
General Lan clutched his injured arm and sneered, "Bullshit! The Emperor never gave such an order! You knew the Crown Princess was in trouble, so you specifically guarded the city gates, preventing her people from going to get reinforcements! That's why Bai Qi dared to kidnap your sister. Even a wolf knows how vicious you are, and now you want to bite back?!"
Ning Xun's expression was cold and his anger was barely contained.
But before he could speak, Qiu Shen stumbled over and grabbed Ye Qingxue's hands, looking her over from all angles. Seeing Ye Qingxue covered in wounds and blood, she burst into tears.
"Your Highness, you're saved! That's wonderful! What about Granny Xing and the others? Are they alright? I've already taken Chunqian and Xialu to a safe place and told them to return to the city at dawn. They're fine!"
Ye Qingxue told her about Granny Xing and Uncle Yong's situation.
Dongbai wiped away her tears: "That's good, that's good. Uncle Yong and Granny Xing will take care of each other, everything will be alright. Now it's just Dongbai who's missing..."
She turned to General Lan: "General Lan, could you please quickly arrange a team to rescue Dongbai on another route? She has been drugged and cannot use her martial arts. We are very worried about her!"
Ye Qingxue also said, "General Lan, I beg you!"
General Lan immediately gathered thirty men and sent them to find Dongbai. Qiu Shen borrowed a horse from General Lan and went with them, mainly to lead the way.
No sooner had this group of people left than Ning Rong's voice came from not far away: "Big brother, save me!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Bai Qi biting Ning Rong's skirt and pulling her out of the forest.
Behind her followed two half-grown wolf cubs, causing Ning Rong to dare not make a move.
When Bai Qi hid her in the mountains, it was these two wolf cubs who were watching her. As a result, even though she could hear Ning Xun calling her, she dared not respond at all, despite Ning Xun's long search for her.
She was terrified that if she opened her mouth, the wolf cubs would bite off her throat, so she waited anxiously until now.
When Ning Xun saw Ning Rong in such a disheveled and frightened state, with bloodstains on her skirt, his eyes widened in fury, and he instantly drew his longsword, pointing it at Ye Qingxue!
