The sounds of frightened horses, swords swinging, and arrows flying could be heard one after another as the night deepened.

After Qin Xin calmed down, she looked at Gu Fei, who was lying on the ground after she slapped him. After making eye contact with him, she asked him.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Gu Fei shook his head. He came to this world later than Qin Xin. For him, yesterday he was still in a safe and prosperous urban society, but today he was experiencing the life and death situation in the cold weapon era.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't panicking, but he had accepted such a bizarre thing as traveling through a book, so he didn't show any panic at this moment.

After he calmed down, he said, "Prince Chen has been ruthless since he came to power, and has offended many court officials and nobles. I'm afraid someone in the court hired someone to assassinate him."

Qin Xin naturally knew that this group of people would not be targeting her as the princess who was to be married off to a foreign country.

From the sounds of fighting outside, he could guess that the other side had a lot of people, and the only target that could send so many assassins to ambush and kill was King Chen.

"Princess, I will protect you and King Chen and leave first."

Shen Ji's kung fu was quite good. With a few shots, he drove away the assassins who were about to approach King Chen's carriage. He jumped onto the carriage, held the reins, and said to the newlyweds in the carriage.

The enemy had many people and good skills. They would not stop until they were dead. They must be the assassins they had raised. There were also ambushes and arrows on the mountain. The terrain here was not favorable for them. The most important thing at the moment was the safety of the emperor and empress. If they were taken away safely, the guards would not be afraid to deal with the assassins.

"Okay, thank you, General Shen." Gu Fei made a prompt decision.

Then he opened the window and said to General Chen who was dealing with the assassin, "Leave him alive."

"Yes!"

When General Chen saw General Shen, who was escorting the bride from Yu Country, leading the guards to escort the Emperor and Empress' carriage away, he felt uneasy, so he quickly selected a few experts and signaled them to chase after them to protect His Majesty.

The target of the assassination escaped, and the assassins naturally followed closely behind. Some were entangled by General Chen and the guards, while others took the opportunity to run, find horses, ride on them, and chase after the carriage.

Shen Ji was determined to get rid of the assassin.

But the path outside the forest was bumpy and difficult to travel on, and the carriage was shaking constantly. The assassins ran into the forest and took a shortcut to encircle them. After an unknown amount of time, someone approached the side of the carriage.

The assassin grabbed the car window and slashed inside with his knife.

Shen Ji pierced it with a spear and threw it away, but immediately another assassin jumped onto the top of the carriage, stabbed it down with a knife, and poked a big hole in the carriage.

The tip of the knife moved downward again, but hit nothing.

The assassin took a closer look. Where were Gu Fei and Qin Xin in the carriage? Empty!

Looking forward again, he saw that one of the horses driving the carriage was missing. He immediately shouted to his accomplices who were catching up behind him:

"We've fallen into a trap. They've escaped! Search them!"

It turned out that a quarter of an hour ago, Qin Xin opened the car window and saw unusual movements in the forest. Knowing that the carriage was slow, the assassin would catch up sooner or later, so she decisively grabbed Gu Fei.

Then he lifted the car curtain and said to Shen Ji who was driving with a gun -

"General Shen, I'm taking His Majesty on horseback, so be careful!"

It's not that she and Gu Fei were only concerned about their own escape, but it was obvious that the guards were now tripped up and only a small number of assassins were chasing them. However, the carriage was no match for the horses and the assassins who took a shortcut, so she had to use an old trick from TV dramas, letting Shen Ji drive the car to cover her, while she took Gu Fei on horseback and ran from another road.

The horse's speed was comparable to galloping, the wind blew on his face, and Gu Fei closed his eyes feeling a little uncomfortable.

When he opened his eyes again and saw Qin Xin with her hair tied up, he couldn't help but be shocked as she rode a horse and took him away calmly and skillfully like an ancient heroine.

He changed his opinion of Qin Xin - his previous judgment of her was inaccurate.

At least, it is not true to say that she is opportunistic and unwilling to study and endure hardships. If she had not endured hardships, how could she learn to ride a horse and martial arts?

He hugged Qin Xin's waist tightly to prevent her from falling and holding her back.

However, did he forget to tell her that although Prince Chen did not have her skills, he was not a weak scholar...

At least, he still knows the most basic of the six arts, namely riding and archery.

Qin Xin didn't care about these things, and just urged the system in her brain that seemed to be dead -

Please tell me a safe location, otherwise if I run around with my men, what if we run into the assassin's base?

Perhaps frightened by the danger Qin Xin encountered, the system quickly went online——

Go southeast, there is an ambush in the southwest. You shouldn't take His Majesty alone. If you encounter an assassin, who will protect you?

Qin Xin only listened to the useful information, waved his whip, and galloped with Gu Fei towards the southeast.

A cold arrow was shot out from behind her. Qin Xin blocked it with a whip. An arrow hit her arm. She gasped in pain and her face turned pale, but she endured the pain and did not dare to stop or slow down.

"Qin Xin! How are you?"

Gu Fei saw her bleeding arm, and then saw her riding the horse with one hand without stopping. His heart skipped a beat. It must be very painful, but she rode without saying a word...

What has she experienced in these years since she came to the world of the book?

"It's okay! We'll deal with it when it's safe!" The wind was too strong, and Qin Xin responded to Gu Fei loudly at the top of her voice.

I don't know how long I ran, but the direction reported by the system was indeed correct. Not only was the space getting wider and wider, but I also successfully shook off the assassin who was following me.

However, Qin Xin felt that her breathing became increasingly short and uncomfortable, and her vision became darker. She bit her lower lip, but it was of no avail. Soon, she felt that she was about to fall off the horse, so she quickly pulled the reins to slow down.

"Qin Xin——"

Seeing Qin Xin's body leaning to one side, Gu Fei's pupils shrank, and he quickly grabbed the reins, but the horse was frightened and took them into the woods. The thorns scratched its body and Gu Fei frowned in pain, but he saw Qin Xin's head against his chest, and his body slipped down...

He immediately hugged her and fell down together. They rolled several times in the sloping forest before hitting a tree trunk and stopped. Gu Fei held the back of Qin Xin's head tightly with his hand. The back of his hand hit the tree, and it hurt so much that he closed his eyes and took a breath.

He glanced at Qin Xin, whose face was pale in his arms, then looked at the arrow in her arm. He avoided the hand that was hit by the arrow and helped her stand up.

After determining the direction, he realized it was getting late and was afraid of encountering wild animals or miasma if he went deeper into the forest, so he headed in a less dense direction.

Fortunately, he found a small stream. Although there were woods on both sides, there was clean sand and gravel beside the stream, which made it convenient to get water and find food. Even if the guards could not arrive immediately, they could rest for a while and wait.

Gu Fei put Qin Xin sitting next to the stone, then tore off a relatively clean corner of his undershirt, soaked it and wrung it dry, turned back to Qin Xin, moistened her lips, and then wiped his hands and face.

Finally, his eyes fell on the arrow in her arm.

He sniffed it and found that it was not poison but a knockout drug. No wonder Qin Xin suddenly fainted.

But the wound still needed to be treated, Gu Fei pinched his palm.

This place still seemed like a dream to him, strange, unknown and dangerous. However, the assassination today made him clearly realize that no matter who he was, from now on, he could only be Chen Wang Gu Fei——

Not only must you play the role of King Chen to avoid being discovered, but you must also use King Chen's advantages to fight against the numerous difficulties that will follow and stay alive.

His eyes fell on Qin Xin's face, Gu Fei froze for a moment, well, he had to live with Qin Xin, only by living could he go back safely.

Qin Xin woke up in pain.

She looked at the tightly bandaged arm, and then followed the light to see that the man who had been so noble before was now in a mess: his hair crown had fallen off, his clothes were wrinkled, and he was sitting by the fire, turning the branch in his hand with his head down, and a fish was skewered on the top of the branch...

Qin Xin had no strength left, so she didn't say anything or move. She just watched Gu Fei, who was concentrating on grilling the fish, quietly.

A person's heart and nature are revealed in times of adversity. This person seems to be a reliable teammate for now. At least he did not abandon her and run away.

Of course, without her as his "bodyguard", he would be asking for death wherever he went.

Gu Fei looked up at Qin Xin with awareness. A hint of relief flashed across his eyes, and his tense body relaxed a little. However, he twitched the corners of his mouth and said -

"Thank goodness I have some knowledge of wilderness survival, otherwise you would have died here. You're welcome. If your foot isn't injured, come and take over. I'm tired."

His brisk tone made people think that they were not experiencing an escape, but a minor incident during the camping trip. Qin Xin's forehead twitched, but she still stood up and walked towards him.

"Fish, you eat it."

Hmm? Can he be so kind?

Qin Xin opened her eyes slightly and saw the man, whose face was red from the fire, adding lazily.

"Only when you are full will you have the strength to carry me back."

Qin Xin originally changed her mind about Gu Fei because they had been through hardships together, but now...

The dog's moral character is fully revealed after the adversity.

Gu Fei actually asked her to carry him on her back? Qin Xin's right hand was injured, so she raised her left hand and patted Gu Fei on the back.

"Are you a man...Gu Fei?!"

She didn't use much strength, but Gu Fei's body swayed and he almost fell into the fire.

Qin Xin was shocked and quickly hugged his waist to support him.

But I felt something wet and warm when I touched it.

Qin Xin lowered her eyes and looked closely, only then did she see a stain of...blood on the other person's dark clothes.
