Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 417

Chapter 417 A Wolf Working Hand in Glove with a Jackal

Under the dark night, the carriage lit up and sped along the road, followed by a group of black-clothed men.

Because of the sudden acceleration of the carriage, Yun Xiao had already woken up. She looked around blankly before she said, “What happened?”

“It’s fine,” Rong Jin pulled Yun Xiao over and placed her in his embrace. He could protect Yun Xiao’s entire body, so he said, “Are you still sleepy? Do you want to continue sleeping?”

Although Rong Jin said that he was fine, Yun Xiao could still feel the tense atmosphere in the air. Hearing the loud sound of horse hooves not far away, Yun Xiao had already guessed that it was because someone was chasing after us, and her brows furrowed tightly. “Is there someone chasing us?”

“Don’t worry, Qing Liu and Qing Mo will take care of it.” Rong Jin comforted Yun Xiao’s hair before asking softly, “Do you want to eat some porridge now?”

Yun Xiao really wanted to say no, but her stomach was really hungry now. She did not refuse and directly nodded, “Alright.”

However, the sound of the carriage getting closer and closer to the sound of the horse hooves behind them. Yun Xiao couldn’t help but frown when she heard this, but when she heard that Rong Jin, who was beside her, didn’t feel a trace of nervousness, she also heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

However, outside the carriage, At this moment, Qing Mo and Qing Liu drove the carriage. Suddenly, they saw a large net descending from the sky in front of them. The two of them looked at each other and Qing Liu Yi and her strange figure flew up quickly. Then, they threw the sword in their hands towards the large net. The net immediately shrank and wrapped the sword around it.

Qing Liu saw it and knew that the net was useless. At the corner of his eyes, he saw two strange figures hiding in the forest beside the official road. He snorted coldly and pulled out another sword. He walked over with the sword in his hand.

Qing Mo did not look sideways and continued to drive the carriage. At the same time, he drove the carriage a little slower, waiting for the black-clothed men to follow behind him.

The black-clothed man saw that the carriage was slowly slowing down and immediately accelerated to catch up. However, before they could get close to the carriage, he saw the two sides of the carriage suddenly open and sharp arrows had already been aimed at them.

Before they could react, the arrow flew towards them, “Move!”

Some of them were quick to react, able to dodge the arrows, but some of them were slow to react and were shot by the arrows. Of course, all of the horses were shot by sharp arrows.

Just as the people who flew to avoid the arrows heaved a sigh of relief, they saw that the mechanism had been activated behind and above the carriage, and dense arrows shot towards them.

Half of the black-clothed men were dead on the other side, but half of the black-clothed men were still alive, holding onto their swords to chase after them.

Qing Mo had been carrying the carriage and did not turn around, but she seemed to have eyes behind her and knew every movement of the people behind her.

Qing Mo casually pressed a few mechanisms on the carriage, and then when those people were wary of the carriage retreating, Qing Mo suddenly accelerated. The carriage was like a string that left an arrow, and it quickly moved on the carriage.

The black-clothed man did not expect the carriage to come with such a move and continued to chase after them. However, at this moment, a man wearing a navy green robe had already blocked their path. The sword in the man’s hand shone with a faint moonlight and a cold light.

Qing Liu and the black-clothed man fought together. Qing Mo drove the carriage and continued to run.

In the carriage, Yun Xiao heard that there was no sound of horse hooves behind her, so she heaved a sigh of relief, “Did you install some kind of mechanism on this carriage? Can you help me build a carriage like this?” With such a carriage, the safety index would be very high.

“Of course you want it.” Rong Jin’s expression was gentle, and his voice was filled with a smile. “Put some more medicine on your eyes.”

Yun Xiao nodded. She had to apply medicine every night. Now, she was used to it.

Once again, the familiar pain came. Yun Xiao could only endure it. In order to prevent herself from focusing her attention on her eyes, Yun Xiao took out the array book that Zhou Jingxu had given her and let Rong Jin read it to her.

Rong Jin naturally wouldn’t refuse her request.

When the pain was over, Yun Xiao’s entire mind was still on the formation.

Rong Jin carried Yun Xiao out of the carriage. Qing Mo had already arranged a place to stay in the inn for tonight.

After entering the inn and eating some dinner, Yunxiao saw that Qing Liu hadn’t followed her and frowned. However, she didn’t ask.

However, Qing Liu did not let Yun Xiao think too much about it. Soon, it appeared. After reporting everything that happened afterwards, he said, “The assassination today was sent by the Third Prince.”

“Third Prince?” Yun Xiao was a little shocked. She did not expect Zhou Jingyan to attack her again. However, Zhou Jingyan was a madman in his previous life. No matter what he did in this life, Yun Xiao would not be surprised. She quickly calmed down.

However, this also reminded Yun Xiao that Zhou Jingyan had been sending people to monitor the Yun Clan.

It was only early this morning that she had told the Yun Family that she wanted to leave with Rong Jin for medical treatment. Not even a day had passed, and Zhou Jingyan had already sent people to hunt them down. This meant that Zhou Jingyan knew everything about the Yun Family.

‘”Don’t worry, I’ve already had someone protect the Yun Clan. It won’t happen again on New Year’s Eve,” Rong Jin said softly.

Yun Xiao nodded. With Rong Jin’s people protecting Yun Clan, Yun Clan would definitely be safe. “Are you going back to your room?” One day in the carriage, she felt very uncomfortable and wanted to take a bath and rest.

“I live here,” Rong Jin’s expression was gentle, and his gaze landed on Yun Xiao’s face with a faint smile.

Yun Xiao’s face suddenly flushed red, and then she calmed down. “Don’t tell me there are no other rooms in this inn? Do you insist that you send them to the same room as me?”

“I have a room. However, I am currently pretending to be a husband and wife. If I were to sleep in separate rooms with you, wouldn’t others recognize me?”

Rong Jin’s tone was natural. Yun Xiao also nodded. In addition, this was not the first time Rong Jin had stayed here for the night. However, he said, “Then go out for a while.”

“Why?”

“I want to take a bath! You’re not going to stay in the house and watch, are you?”

“If you are willing, I will naturally not refuse.”

“You!” Yun Xiao pointed in the direction of the door and said, “Get out!”

Rong Jin smiled. The corner of his mouth was filled with a faint smile. After the waiter brought the bath tub in and left, Rong Jin hugged Yun Xiao and placed her beside the bath tub. He then took Yun Xiao’s clothes and put them aside. Then he said, “If there’s anything, call me. I’ll be next door.” He walked out.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Yun Xiao also heaved a sigh of relief.

She was standing beside the bathtub right now, and there was no need for Qing Mo to serve her.

She took off her clothes and soaked in the bathtub, feeling much more comfortable.

However, with this comfort, Yun Xiao forgot everything else and fell asleep just like that.

However, not long after Yun Xiao had fallen asleep, she saw someone poking a hole in the window and blowing air into it through the hole with a bamboo pipe.

Yun Xiao only felt that there was something filling her nose. Her body was tense, and she suddenly woke up alertly. She looked in the direction of the smoke and wanted to call for Rong Jin, but she was afraid that she would be seen by someone like this.

She carefully reached out to take her clothes and put them on her body. However, at this moment, the door was suddenly opened. Yun Xiao looked over and felt that the aura and sound of footsteps were very strange. However, hearing the sound of footsteps, Yun Xiao felt that it was somewhat familiar.

Hearing this, Yun Xiao seemed to be able to clearly hear the sound of a fight coming from outside. She frowned and looked at the person vigilantly, “Who are you?”

The person didn’t answer. He just walked forward step by step. The gentle footsteps made Qing Ge frown. She carefully retreated. Suddenly, she remembered whose footsteps were these. “Zhou Jingyan!”

Zhou Jingyan was dressed in night clothes and was recognized by Yun Xiao. He only smiled faintly and said softly, “I didn’t expect Fourth Miss Yun. No, county princess An Ping is actually so smart. Even if you can’t see me, you can still recognize me!”

Yun Xiao really wanted to say that even if you turned into ashes, I would still be able to recognize you! However, Yun Xiao thought for a moment and swallowed this sentence back.

Her entire body was tense. She didn’t know what Zhou Jingyan was doing here at this time. If he was here to capture her, it was a bit different. If he wanted to capture her, how could he still talk so much nonsense? Aren’t you going to take advantage of Rong Jin’s absence to kidnap him?

Moreover, Qing Liu had already said today that the person who was chasing them was Zhou Jingyan’s people. However, he never expected that Zhou Jingyan would actually come personally.

“If anyone doesn’t know, why did you follow us all the way here?”

“Naturally, it’s for you!” Zhou Jingyan sneered. Then, he slowly walked over and raised Yun Xiao’s chin. He said softly, “Yun Xiao, I am willing to ask you to be my consort. You are unwilling. Now, Father Emperor is marrying me and pointing Xiao Yuqi at me. Are you satisfied?”

Yun Xiao snorted coldly. Her hands tightened their grip on her clothes. She was deeply afraid that if she didn’t pay attention, she would reveal her spring light. “Naturally, she is satisfied. Sister Xiao is gentle and pure. Her temperament and character are both extremely good. I hope that His Highness the Third Highness will cherish Sister Xiao well.” Yun Xiao bit the words’gentle and pure ‘very hard. She couldn’t help but think in her heart, the Jin Emperor had also done a good deed. Putting the two of them together was simply colluding with each other.

Two people who could act too well were married, and in the future, the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty would be turned upside down.

On New Year’s Eve, Xiao Yuqi’s strength was very strong. With Xiao Yuqi working together, Zhou Jingyan should be able to seize the throne more smoothly. However, she did not understand why Zhou Jingyan would come looking for her now.

Even though Zhou Jingyan had already said that it was for her sake, she still didn’t say a single curious word. However, in his heart, he couldn’t help but think that Rong Jin hadn’t come yet. In addition to the sounds of fighting outside, he was probably hindered by something.

It seemed that he could only rely on himself.
