It was Shen Yun, and Ning Yin's nerves immediately tensed up.
She had just heard the sound of a large group of people chasing after her, and one of the men's voices sounded remarkably like Shen Yun's.
Ning Yin lifted the curtain of the speeding carriage and looked back, only to see the leading man in black armor holding a long sword, staring at her with a fierce expression.
She glanced at him and met Shen Yun's gaze. Shen Yun looked at her with a sinister look, his expression suddenly turning extremely cold.
He then realized that Ning Yin had not been kidnapped, but had voluntarily left with Xiao Xuan.
Even now, she still can't forget Xiao Xuan. Even if she were to lay her heart out and present it to him, he wouldn't even glance at it.
Shen Yun gave a cold laugh, his eyes turning icy.
"Hurry, don't let the Crown Prince of Qi escape!"
He knew that ahead lay the border between the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei, and Chu. If he didn't capture Xiao Xuan here, once Xiao Xuan entered Qi territory, killing him next time would be incredibly difficult.
The King of Chu had given him a death order: if he failed to retrieve Xiao Xuan and the defense map, he would have to return to the King of Chu with his head in his hands.
Thinking of this, Shen Yun accelerated again, chasing after Xiao Xuan and the others like a madman.
Ning Yin gritted her teeth, gripping the carriage armrest with one hand and tightly protecting her lower abdomen with the other. The road conditions here were already bad, and with the carriage moving so fast, she was jolted so much that she almost threw up again.
"General Shen, we are about to enter the territory of the Great Qi. Let's fire our arrows!"
A lieutenant nearby frowned, reached out and placed an arrow against the bowstring, and was about to draw it when Shen Yun coldly rebuked, "Stop! Don't release the arrow! Just speed things up!"
"General Shen, the Crown Prince of Qi is right ahead. If you don't let us fire arrows, are you just going to watch them run back to their country? Not only will our efforts be in vain, but we might also lose our heads!"
The lieutenant's eyes were bloodshot, and he showed no sign of letting go of the bow and arrow.
He still wanted to live a good life, to achieve great things, and to get married and have children.
Now that such a tremendous achievement is right in front of him, how could he possibly give it up?
The lieutenant glanced at Shen Yun, who still showed no intention of releasing the arrow. He gritted his teeth, drew the bowstring taut, and aimed it directly at the carriage window.
The next second, with a whoosh, the arrow flew towards the carriage at lightning speed.
Seeing the arrow fly out, Shen Yun turned his head and glared fiercely at his deputy, shouting, "Are you crazy? My wife is inside!!!"
The man stared intently at the arrow's trajectory, which was still a few meters away from Ningyin's carriage, and his heart instantly leaped into his throat.
Just as the arrow was about to pierce the carriage, Xiao Xuan suddenly turned the carriage around quickly, changing direction. The arrow just missed the carriage. If Xiao Xuan hadn't noticed that someone behind him was starting to fire arrows, Ning Yin would probably be in grave danger by now.
The man turned and glanced at Shen Yun, his eyes filled with a chilling, murderous, and ruthless light that pierced the heart like a blade.
"Protect Her Majesty!" Xiao Xuan shouted sternly to the guards around him.
"How much longer will my elder sister's forces take?"
While riding his horse, Xiao Xuan quickly asked Qingying beside him for directions.
They originally planned to leave under the cover of night, but they did not expect that the King of Chu would discover so quickly that the defense map had been stolen and would seal off the entire city in the shortest possible time.
If their intelligence hadn't arrived in time, they probably would have been captured by the King of Chu long ago.
At this moment, Chongning, who was setting up the ambush, finally received a message by carrier pigeon.
She immediately took the note, glanced at it, and her eyes instantly sharpened. "Duan Li, quick, take your men and head to the Chu border immediately! Xuan'er is in danger!"
"Also, notify the other generals and tell them to rush to reinforce us as well!"
The memory of Xiao Xuan being ambushed by Marquis Wuding and his men was still haunting her. If Xiao Xuan hadn't been lucky, she probably would never have seen her brother again.
This time, she is determined to crush the Chu Kingdom and let them know that the Great Qi is not a weak and incompetent country that can be bullied at will.
During this period, Chongning and the generals had made full preparations, deploying troops in every military stronghold, especially in some strategically important locations, which were designated as key positions for ambushing the enemy.
Soon, night fell and the road ahead became difficult to see. Shen Yun and his group relentlessly pursued Xiao Xuan like mad dogs.
Even more frightening was that, upon learning that Xiao Xuan was in this area, the rest of the Chu army rushed towards this direction at full speed.
"General Shen, you're not letting us fire arrows? Do you really want to let the tiger return to the mountain? I've always said that you're a traitor to Qi, how could you possibly be truly loyal to my Chu Kingdom? I think you're doing this on purpose!"
The deputy general was furious. After saying that, he shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Soldiers, this is a trap deliberately set by Shen Yun and his men. If you want to live and get promoted, fire your arrows immediately and capture the Crown Prince of Daqi alive!"
As soon as the deputy general shouted, the men behind him quickly drew their arrows and nocked them on their bows. How could they not see that Shen Yun had no intention of killing anyone? If they continued running like this, they would probably reach the border of the Great Qi Kingdom very soon.
Not only will they fail to catch the perpetrators, but they might also lose their own lives.
Thinking it over, everyone responded to the deputy general's order, drawing their bows to their fullest extent and aiming them directly at the carriage in front of them.
"Liu Lin, you dare disobey my orders and act on your own initiative! You want to die!"
Shen Yun's face was dark and gloomy. He gritted his teeth and pointed his sword at Liu Lin beside him.
"General Shen, today I will surely slay the Crown Prince of Qi, and your wife will also die by my sword! Men, fire the arrows!!!"
