Unfortunately, the horses did not obey the call, and stayed in circles, refusing to move in a panic.

It's no wonder that even a BMW like Ling'er is afraid of a tiger when it sees it, let alone an ordinary horse.

In the face of the beast, the Assassins decisively gave up on continuing to chase them, but there was no choice but to abandon their horses and flee in a hurry.

The two tigers quickly killed the few horses they had left behind, including the Assassin who had previously bitten off his arm. The corpses on the ground were scattered all over the ground, the scene was very bloody, Mu Qingwan saw such a picture for the first time, her throat was a little itchy, and she covered it tightly to prevent herself from retching.

"Don't look."

Jing Yao covered Mu Qingwan's eyes with his hand, although his nose was filled with the earthy smell of the stars and grass in Jing Yao's hands, but the nausea in Mu Qingwan's heart faded.

One of the tigers whined again, and then there was a sound of rustling in the grass, and three little tigers came out. The two tigers stayed where they were and had a full meal, and several little tigers also pounced on them and gnawed on them.

In the end, the rest of the horse meat was taken away by the two tigers, and they went back and forth several times, but as for the corpses of the remaining assassins, they did not move.

Mu Qingwan and Jing Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts finally relaxed. Mu Qingwan felt that her body was sticky and greasy, and it was all cold sweat.

It was getting dark, but Mu Qingwan and Jing Yao could only stay honestly.

"Qingwan, don't be afraid, someone will come over later."

Jing Yao comforted in a dumb voice, but he blamed himself very much in his heart, blaming himself for being too weak, accidentally touching the road, and even causing Mu Qingwan to fall into danger with him. Jing Yao hated himself for being so weak and always being restrained by others.

The eyes are astringent and want to cry. Jing Yao looked up at the sky, not wanting tears to fall.

"What's wrong with you? Is it a wound? ”

Sensing Jing Yao's strangeness, he asked with concern.

Although Jing Yao is young, after arriving in the capital, he has helped Mu Qingwan many times, the two of them sat on the tree together and watched the stars, they were kidnapped by the bandits of Erwang Mountain together, and now they are hunted down together...... Looking back, fate is always so inexplicable, two people who could not have intersected have experienced so much together.

"It's nothing, the wind blew to the eyes."

Jing Yao was dumb and refused to tell the truth.

"Drink some water, I've got some snacks here."

Mu Qingwan took off the water bladder from the horseback and handed it to Jing Yao, and then took off the purse for the snacks that Ruyi had prepared for herself from her waist.

"Hmm."

The two of them didn't dislike it, their hands were too dirty, so they directly took the purse and poured it into their mouths little by little.

"By the way, during the last Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, did you pay attention to the second prince of the Zhou Kingdom? I think he's like the foolish boy we met in Erwang Mountain. ”

The night was quiet, the wind whined the branches, and there was something terrible in the woods. Mu Qingwan found a topic to talk to Jing Yao and divert the attention of the two people.

"Well, it's the same person. The second prince is the son of the former queen, who was stolen when he was a child, and was recovered a few months ago, just in time to coincide with the time when the Erwang Mountain bandits left. ”

"How so? Isn't he the son of the Empress? So the time we met him, was he really stupid, or was he fake? ”

"The emperor of Zhou is extravagant, and he doesn't care about the heirs born to his queen, not to mention that it is rumored that this second prince was born a fool, and he is sluggish and childish during the day, but he is smart and close to a demon at night, which is really weird, and the emperor of Zhou naturally doesn't like it."

"Oh."

Mu Qingwan nodded, but she remembered the conversation she had heard with Aunt Li before she died, she seemed to have heard the secrets of the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom, so the former queen should have been killed by Mama Zhao, and the illness of the second prince was not a disease but a Gu. Mu Qingwan didn't know how an ordinary Mama Zhao had infiltrated the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom, and had successfully killed someone's queen by hiding from the world, but that was the truth......

"You shouldn't have saved me, just in case ......"

Jing Yao looked at Mu Qingwan and was annoyed.

"Now say what you do, save it, it seems like I don't have anything good every time I see you."

Mu Qingwan smiled bitterly, as if this was really the case.

"yes, I'm a real nuisance."

Jing Yao is unusual, unlike the previous appearance of Hanger, and his tone is self-deprecating.

"Let's lean on the horse, it's a little warmer."

Both of them were just wearing riding clothes, and on the night of August, the chill hit people, and Mu Qingwan suggested that the two of them lean on the horse to keep warm.

"Hmm."

Jing Yao moved his body and lay on the back of a horse with Mu Qingwan.

"Although there is also martial arts practice on weekdays, it is not enough to use it at critical times."

Mu Qingwan sighed that after all, she had not experienced real blood, and what she learned on weekdays was not lethal. It's okay to keep fit, but it's not enough to kill people and set fires.

Jing Yao looked at Mu Qingwan quietly, listening to her speak, her nose was full of the smell of star grass, but she still felt very relieved.

"I still have a flare here, which my aunt gave me. When we get through tonight, we'll be out of danger. ”

Mu Qingwan knew that she was gone, and after tonight, her uncle would definitely bring someone to find her, and she would be able to use the signal flare at that time. It's just that not yet, the night is too dark, and I'm afraid that the assassins will get the first opportunity.

Mu Qingwan really hates that she is only ten years old now, her body's functions are limited after all, and she has no strength in her body after the afternoon toss.

"Qingwan, why did you save me? It's so dangerous. ”

"I don't know, I don't think why, saving is saving."

"Hmm."

……

It was also very deep, and the dew was heavier at night, and the two children leaned together to keep warm.

Mu Qingwan's eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, after all, her body is only ten years old, and she is already an age when it is easy to get sleepy.

Suddenly, Jing Yao quickly shot out and hit her sleeping hole.

"Young master, it's too late for your subordinates to save you."

A man in black, dressed in black, with his whole body covered, walked out of the shadows.

The man in black walked up to Jing Yao and knelt down.

"Hiss~"

Ling'er fluttered and quickly stood up and rushed towards the man in black.

In an instant, Jing Yao and Mu Qingwan's bodies smashed to the ground, Jing Yao quickly protected Mu Qingwan in his arms, and his body landed on the ground, but he accidentally pulled the wound.

"Don't hurt it."

Ignoring the bleeding from the wound, Jing Yao said to the man in black, the meaning was self-evident.

"Ling'er, stop, it's your own person."

Ling'er didn't listen to Jing Yao's words, and kept rushing towards the man in black, but the wisps rushed into the air. The man in black pressed the sword that was still in the scabbard at his waist, as if he was slashing back at the horse's head in the next moment.

"Ling'er, he's here to save us, do you want Mu Qingwan to die?"

Jing Yao didn't expect Ling'er to be so spiritual, and the protector was so anxious that he had to shout loudly again.

At this time, the horses were quiet, but they were still walking around quickly.

Jing Yao staggered and hugged Mu Qingwan and sat up close to the dirt slope.

"Let's go."
