The car jolted violently, "Be careful~" Yin Xia hugged Yan Muxi and lay down, and the two of them barely avoided the long sword that was stabbed out of the car window.

Immediately afterwards, a long sword pierced into another car window. Yin Xia picked up the weapon and attacked left and right to force the sword back.

Yan Muxi held her breath and lay in the carriage, trying not to cause trouble to others.

The carriage was running at a rapid speed. The sounds of fighting gradually died down, but the sounds of weapons colliding outside and on the roof were still very loud. It was obvious that some bandits had climbed onto the carriage.

I thought Dongyu wouldn't be able to handle it alone, but I didn't expect that it would be quiet outside in just half a cup of tea.

Dongyu stuck her head into the carriage and said, "There's a fork in the road ahead. Should we follow the princess' carriage to the farm?"

"Don't go to Zhuangzi, take another road." Yan Muxi gave the order and then asked worriedly, "Are you injured?"

Dong Yu was covered in blood, and her original appearance was almost unrecognizable. She grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Miss, don't worry, I am not hurt. Thanks to the escort brother for helping me, otherwise I would not be able to fight against such a heavy blow alone."

"You're welcome, young lady." A man responded.

Yan Muxi realized that there was a stranger in the carriage. Without bothering to say hello, she asked anxiously, "Can you see the people chasing us from behind?"

"I can't see any human figures for the time being, but I can vaguely hear the sound of horse hooves. I guess they are chasing us soon." Dong Yu said truthfully.

"The carriage can't go fast, let's abandon it and run into the dense forest." As soon as Yan Muxi finished speaking, Dong Yu picked her up and jumped off the carriage.

Yinxia, ​​the escort, and the coachman also flew to the side and jumped off the carriage. The escort slapped the horse on the buttocks. The horse, in pain, pulled the empty carriage and galloped away, leaving behind only rolling dust.

Without daring to stop for a moment, Dongyu and Yinxia took Yan Muxi with them, with the bodyguard following behind, and they quickly ran towards the depths of the dense forest.

The driver's kung fu was not good enough, so he did not travel with the others and hid in a secret place.

It was difficult to walk in the mountains and forests. After running for more than half an hour, the people's pace became slower and slower, and their breathing became more and more rapid.

Yan Muxi was fine. She was being carried by Dongyu and Yinxia while running, and her feet barely touched the ground. "Put me down. I can run by myself."

"Miss, just stay here and be at ease. Your white and tender feet, which are not much longer than a palm, will surely be rubbed raw after running a few steps. I can't bear to see your pitiful appearance with tears in your eyes and crying in pain." Dong Yu had already adjusted her breathing, but she still couldn't suppress her heavy breathing.

Being looked down upon like this, Yan Muxi didn't know whether to be ashamed or touched. "Just put me down. I'm wearing hard-soled boots today. Running a few steps won't hurt my feet."

Dong Yu advised helplessly, "Miss, please stop making noise, okay? It's tiring enough for me to carry you around, and I have to pay attention to talk to you. Do you want to tire me to death?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by several more black shadows.

The escort in front stopped in an instant, and Dong Yu also braked and protected Yan Muxi behind him.

It was a gloomy day with dark clouds covering the sky. The light and shadows in the dense forest were dim. After a few breaths, Yan Muxi could see clearly that the dark shadows blocking the way of several people were several masked men in black clothes and black boots.

Without saying a word, the man in black raised his sword and attacked Yan Muxi.

Dongyu and Yinxia immediately stepped forward with swords raised, protecting Yan Muxi from the front and the back. The escort wanted to come forward to help, but was entangled by two of the masked men in black and could not get away.

Dongyu's kung fu was not weak, and she could barely hold on against two or three people. Yinxia's kung fu was average, and with a "clang", the long sword in her hand was knocked to the ground, and she was also hit on the arm by the sword.

"Yinxia~" Yan Muxi shouted in surprise.

Yin Xia didn't care about her bleeding arm and used her body to shield her behind her, "Don't worry, Princess, it's just a superficial wound. I'm fine."

There were seven or eight people on the other side, and each of them was very skilled. Yinxia was injured and lost his weapon, so only Dongyu and the escort were left to hold on.

Seeing that he was about to collapse, Dongyu turned around and shouted, "Yinxia, ​​take the young lady away. We will find a way to hold them back."

After receiving Dong Yu's gesture, the escort used a killing move to force back the men in black who were harassing him. He flew to Dong Yu's side and fought alongside him, trying to create a way for Yan Muxi and the other man to kill.

However, they obviously underestimated the capabilities of the men in black. No matter how hard they tried, they failed to achieve their goal and were surrounded.

The men in black formed a sword formation and surrounded them. A rain of swords came at them. Dong Yu was so anxious that her eyes turned red. "Ah~~~ I'm going to fight you!"

The escort also swung his sword hastily, and in just a moment, both men received multiple sword wounds.

Yan Muxi saw that she was no match for her opponent and that if the fight continued several people would die because of her, so she suddenly broke free from Yin Xia's restraints and ran out of the encirclement.

The black sword with a cold glow came towards her chest. She closed her eyes subconsciously, but the expected pain did not come. She only felt her body lighten. When she opened her eyes again, she was already being carried on the shoulders of a masked man.

"Retreat!" Following the order to retreat, several men in black protected the man in black carrying Yan Muxi and retreated quickly, while the others stayed behind to cover their retreat.

"Miss~"

"Crown Princess~"

Dongyu and Yinxia shouted anxiously, but they were unable to spare the time to chase after him, and could only watch Yan Muxi being taken away.

Yan Muxi was carried on his shoulders, and the person beneath her walked very steadily, so she hardly felt the bumps.

After a short while, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw several other men in black chasing after her. In such a short time, Yinxia and the others’ lives should be safe.

Here, Dongyu was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Yinxia, ​​"Don't worry, let's take a break first and then chase after him."

"Is it time to rest now? By the time we rest, the young lady will have been taken hostage to who knows where!" Dong Yu was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

"But we may not be able to catch up with them now, and even if we do, we can't save the Crown Prince's Consort. They kidnapped the Crown Prince's Consort but didn't kill her, so her life won't be in danger for the time being." Yin Xia glanced at the escort beside her, thought about it, but still didn't say that she had a way to find Yan Muxi.

Dongyu calmed down and thought about it carefully. He felt that what Yinxia said made sense. Even if he caught up with her, he couldn't save the young lady. The young lady's life was not in danger anyway, so he might as well take a breath first.

She sat down on the haystack, waited until her breathing became steady, and looked up at the escort. "Excuse me, what is your name, warrior?"

The escort clasped his fists and bowed, "My name is Gao Shun, you two ladies can just call me Shunzi."

Yinxia also asked, "I wonder who assigned Brother Sunzi to protect my prince's wife?"

"I am a son of the Rong Palace, and I was entrusted by Prince Rong to protect the Crown Prince's wife."

"Do you have any proof?" Yin Xia asked again.

Shunzi took out the token from his arms and handed it to Yinxia with both hands. Yinxia took it and looked at it carefully. Seeing that it was indeed the token of Prince Rong's Mansion, she felt relieved.

She handed the token back, "Brother Shunzi, don't blame me for being suspicious. I have to be more cautious in times of crisis."

Shunzi bowed again, "It's my pleasure, young lady, you are so polite."

Dongyu said boldly: "Since we are one family, don't call us girls. My name is Dongyu and she is Yinxia. You can just call us by our names."

Shunzi looked in the direction where Yan Muxi was taken away, and asked anxiously, "When are we going to chase the Crown Prince's Consort back?"

"No rush, let's recover our strength first." Yinxia took out two bottles of ointment and a bottle of pills from her purse, handed a bottle of ointment to Shunzi, and poured out a pill and handed it to him, "Swallow the pill, this medicine can quickly replenish your essence and blood and help heal from your injuries." After saying that, she swallowed a pill herself first.
