Chapter 118: A dog worse than an animal
The master and servant chased forward. Originally, He Yun thought that his prince was making a fuss out of nothing, but when he reached the corner ahead, his pupils suddenly shrank.
A carriage lay crookedly on the side of the road, the horses were nowhere to be found, and neither were the people in the carriage.
There were obvious signs of fighting on the snow, and there was also a large area of glaring red, which was extremely horrifying.
Xiao Yanci hurriedly reined in his horse, and the veins on the back of his hand were visible.
He Yun hurriedly dismounted, bent down to check, and picked up something near the carriage.
"Your Highness, an earring was left here."
When Xiao Yanci saw the bright agate earring, his eyes narrowed.
He suddenly clenched his hands and held the earring tightly in his palms.
This is Lu Zhiran's earrings.
Putting it in his arms, Xiao Yanci kicked the horse's belly and spurred it towards a certain direction in the forest.
They must not have gone far. It’s still not too late to catch up with them!
The footsteps ahead were chaotic, and there were several corpses lying crookedly on the ground.
The deeper they went, the denser the forest became, and the horses could not escape, so Xiao Yanci abandoned his horse and galloped forward at full speed.
But soon, the trail ahead of him forked.
Xiao Yanci and He Yun looked at each other, and the tacit understanding between the master and servant reached its peak. One went to the left and the other went to the right.
Xiao Yanci's speed was so fast that he left an afterimage, and his heart was tense to the extreme.
Various speculations flashed through his mind, each one enough to drive him crazy.
Suddenly, several people appeared in front of them. They were wearing guard uniforms, looked frightened and embarrassed, and were running away in a panic.
One man kept looking back, but didn't see the pursuers behind him. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he bumped into a tall human wall and was bounced far away, knocking the people behind him to the ground.
Xiao Yanci held a long sword in his hand, his face full of murderous intent, and several people were scared out of their wits.
"No, don't kill us. We have handed the young lady over to you. Please, good man, spare us!"
"Who is your lady?"
Several people rushed to reply, "Yes, she is the Princess of Pingle, who was personally appointed by the Emperor. She is a beauty of the country, with extraordinary appearance. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in the capital."
"Yes, yes, my young lady is so beautiful that men can't even walk when they see her. Sir, please go quickly. If you go too late, you won't be able to taste her."
"Since we offered our lives voluntarily, please let us go!"
Xiao Yanci's long sword clenched so tightly that it made a creaking sound. He squeezed out a word through his teeth, "Where is the person?"
Several people pointed in a certain direction and said, "Right, right over there."
Without giving them another chance to say another word, Xiao Yanci raised his knife and chopped off the heads of several people.
The boiling blood dyed large areas of snow red, their pupils were wide open, and they stared at the vast sky with their eyes wide open.
There was no emotion in Xiao Yanci's eyes.
Dogs who are worse than animals! Killing them is too dirty.
Without bothering to finish him off, Xiao Yanci jumped up and flew in the direction they had just pointed, using his lightness skills, fearing that Lu Zhiran would be humiliated at a moment's notice.
Suddenly, Xiao Yanci heard some noise coming from the front.
He immediately slowed down, approached quietly, and observed the situation ahead quietly.
There were more than ten bandits in the group. They were masked, tall, and held long swords in their hands. They were obviously martial artists.
After searching for a while, he finally saw the person he was looking for.
She and her two maids sat quietly in the corner. Fortunately, the thing they were most worried about did not happen. Apart from their dirty clothes and messy hair, they looked fine, and there was no panic on their faces.
Xiao Yanci breathed a sigh of relief.
But how can he rescue people by his own strength?
No matter how good his kung fu was, it was impossible for him to fight against more than a dozen skilled fighters and rescue her safely.
Even with He Yun included, it is impossible.
Going back for help is even more unrealistic.
If you want to save people, you can only wait for the opportunity.
He hid on the treetop, motionless. The snowflakes dyed his hair white, and the snow water dripped down his eyelashes, but he seemed unaware.
He was like the calmest hunter, quietly waiting for the best opportunity to capture his prey in one fell swoop.
After an unknown amount of time, the master and his two servants suddenly stood up and came towards him.
The masked bandits just took a look and didn't try to stop them, nor did they send anyone to follow them.
What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Lu Zhiran walked farther and farther until he finally stopped behind a lush bush.
Xiao Yanci estimated the distance between her and the bandits. If he was fast enough, he would be able to rescue her.
But he could only save one person, and he was powerless to help the two maids.
His kindness was not much, only enough for her.
His mind was racing with calculations, and his whole body was tense to the extreme, like a bird of prey ready to pounce.
However, when he turned his gaze to look at Lu Zhiran, he almost fell off the tree branch.
He finally realized what Lu Zhiran was going to do.
Even though he couldn't see anything because of the bushes, he immediately looked away, not daring to take another look.
The rustling noise disappeared, and Xiao Yanci also adjusted his state again.
In extraordinary circumstances, we can only offend.
He no longer hesitated, leaned down, and before anyone could react, he grabbed Lu Zhiran's slender waist and picked her up.
Her waist was indeed slender, not even able to be held in one hand.
Lu Zhiran was so frightened that she struggled desperately.
The man's deep and mellow voice rang in his ears, "It's me. Don't be afraid, I will save you and leave."
Lu Zhiran was confused.
She wanted to explain something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, cold air blew into her mouth and she couldn't say anything. Instead, she choked and started coughing.
Cui Fu and Dan Yan screamed, "Miss! Miss!"
"Someone come quickly, a thief has kidnapped the young lady!"
Someone soon caught up with him from behind. Xiao Yanci said "Excuse me" and pressed Lu Zhiran against his chest, hugging her tighter and speeding up.
Lu Zhiran only felt a gust of cold wind blowing in her ears, and her whole body had a sense of weightlessness as if she was suspended in mid-air. She instinctively hugged the man's waist tightly to seek a sense of security.
Xiao Yanci was as nimble as a cheetah. Using the tree trunk as a fulcrum, he jumped and landed very swiftly, leaving the person behind him far behind.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yanci landed steadily on the ground and stopped.
The person in his arms was still holding him tightly, with his eyes tightly closed, and he didn't notice that they had fallen to the ground.
The soft body pressed against him made him feel what it was like to be soft and graceful.
A hint of discomfort flashed across Xiao Yanci's eyes.
He coughed lightly, "County Master, we are safe now. That's the shelter. If those bandits dare to chase us, I can call for help with just a shout."
Lu Zhiran felt as if the world was spinning around her and she was dizzy.
Realizing that she was still holding the other person, she suddenly let go, but she didn't expect her legs to become weak, her body lost support, and she was about to fall.
Xiao Yanci quickly reached out and supported the person again.
"careful."
