Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 421
Chapter 421 Rong Jin Contend for Favor
Yun Xiao tightly closed her eyes, paying attention to any movement outside.
He held his breath and focused all of his attention on his back, not even moving his ears.
However, as time passed, Yun Xiao could clearly hear that the horses behind had already crossed the formations set up by the hard objects. In other words, the formations she had just set up had failed.
Yun Xiao frowned. Her face was embarrassed, but there was a strong sense of unwillingness in her eyebrows.
Yun Xiao did not give up. She immediately leaned out of the window and continued to listen to the sound of the carriage grunting. In her heart, she constantly calculated the distance between her and the other party, as well as the speed of the carriage.
However, before Yun Xiao could finish her calculations, she heard the light of a sharp blade rushing straight towards her. Even though the sound of air-piercing was very far away, she could still hear it clearly.
Yun Xiao’s expression was a little nervous. She quickly wanted to shrink her body into the carriage. However, her movements were still too slow. When the sharp arrow arrived in front of her, a pair of large hands stopped Yun Xiao’s waist and pulled her back.
Yun Xiao sat back in the carriage and listened to the heartbeat coming from the man’s mouth. She gasped heavily for breath. However, hearing Rong Jin’s heartbeat proved that nothing had happened to her. She raised her head and said, “Thank you.”
“You don’t have to thank me,” Rong Jin patted Yun Xiao’s back gently a few times, but a cold look flashed in his eyes as he looked at the car window.
Yun Xiao graciously said and struggled out of Rong Jin’s embrace. Seeing this, Rong Jin released Yun Xiao.
Outside the carriage, Qing Mo saw an arrow flying towards him. The sound of the arrow piercing through the air was urgent and fast. When he heard the movement in the carriage, he knew that he almost stabbed Yun Xiao. Without saying anything, he directly lifted Zhou Jingyan’s body and pierced into Zhou Jingyan’s body in the direction of the sound of the arrow piercing through the air.
Zhou Jingyan didn’t expect Qing Mo to be so quick. He snorted and cried out in pain. He shouted at the people behind him angrily, “Who told you to shoot an arrow!”
Zhou Jingyan had used all of his strength. He was afraid that the people behind him would shoot another arrow. At that time, those who did not hurt Rong Jin and Yun Xiao would shoot at him again. At that time, he would really become a hedgehog.
Zhou Jingyan’s expression was gloomy, and his expression was even more embarrassed. The pain coming from his arm made Zhou Jingyan’s expression even gloomier.
He had already cursed Yun Xiao and Rong Jin in his heart for planning to do this. However, the poison in his body was spreading faster and faster.
His entire body was floating on the carriage shaft, being held in the palm of someone’s hand. This kind of humiliation was the most embarrassing thing he had ever experienced in his entire life.
If he escaped, he would not let Yun Xiao and Zhou Jingyan go.
However, none of the people on Yun Xiao’s side paid attention to him. On the contrary, the black-clothed people behind them looked at each other when they saw the arrow hit Zhou Jingyan. They didn’t know what to do.
However, hearing Zhou Jingyan’s words, these people slowed down the horse’s speed by a lot.
Yun Xiao listened to the commotion outside the carriage and did not feel any ripples in her heart. After struggling away from Rong Jin’s embrace, she reckoned what exactly was wrong with her formation.
Thinking back and forth, Yun Xiao felt that it should be when she took out the formation that her position was disordered. If she lost a single bit of it, the entire formation would have failed.
Therefore, Yun Xiao heard the sound of horse hooves slowing down, and Qing Mo and the others’ carriage also slowed down a little. She leaned out and waited quietly for a few minutes. After taking a few deep breaths, she threw the hard object in her hand out. However, her expression was not very good.
Of course, this time, the formation was still a failure.
Yun Xiao still didn’t give up and counted it again. However, this time, Yun Xiao counted her own strength as well. There was also wind in the winter night and she could change the direction of the hard objects flying out. Although she couldn’t change too much, as long as there was a little strange, it would be enough to destroy the entire formation.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao calculated for a long time and once again took out the hard object in her hand. However, nothing unexpected happened. This time, it ended in failure.
Yun Xiao did not know what was going on. She had been frowning and her expression was extremely gloomy.
She had clearly mastered the entire formation, but it was still impossible.
Yun Xiao leaned back and lay on the table. Without saying a word, she kept figuring out what was wrong with her.
A cup of steaming water was passed in front of Yun Xiao. The hot water floated on Yun Xiao’s face, and Yun Xiao took the cup of tea without thinking. Then, she drank it without any precautions.
After drinking, he put down the teacup and continued to count.
As for Rong Jin, he naturally took the teacup over and asked gently, “Do you want more?”
Yun Xiao shook her head. Right now, her mind was filled with these formations. Nothing else was on her mind. Her entire body seemed to be ambiguous.
Seeing Yun Xiao’s appearance, Rong Jin shook his head and laughed. He sighed and said loudly, “Are you still thinking about formations?”
Yun Xiao nodded and said, “Don’t speak.” As soon as he spoke, Yun Xiao felt that what she had just thought of seemed to have been forgotten just like this.
Rong Jin laughed. He stepped forward and sat beside Yun Xiao. He held onto Yun Xiao’s hand tightly. Yun Xiao was stunned and was about to pull her hand back. However, Rong Jin held it tightly.
Yun Xiao frowned and looked in Rong Jin’s direction, saying coldly, “What are you doing?”
Rong Jin did not answer Yun Xiao’s words. ‘”The formation you drew is correct. The error lies in your grasp of the speed of the carriage and the speed of the wind. Your third formation did notice the speed of the wind. However, there are some minor reasons that are not taken into account. For example, the speed of the carriage is so fast that it will disturb the speed of the carriage.”
Yun Xiao heard Rong Jin’s words and secretly nodded her head. She had to admit that Rong Jin’s words were indeed correct, but now, she did not know how to calculate it.
Rong Jin smiled softly. He clenched Yun Xiao’s small hand and whispered to Yun Xiao’s ear, “If it was on the flat ground, you might be able to succeed in this formation. However, there are too many uncertain factors in the carriage. If there is a slight error, the entire formation will not succeed.”
He rubbed Yun Xiao’s hair and said softly, “Don’t worry, even without these formations, we can still leave this place.”
Yun Xiao graciously said. She believed in Rong Jin’s strength, and now that Zhou Jingyan was caught by Rong Jin, there was no way he could escape. In comparison, the chances of winning were much higher. However, Yun Xiao was unwilling to sit back and enjoy the benefits. She wanted to do her part.
It could also be considered as laying the foundation for her future. Even without Rong Jin, she would still be able to subdue her enemies in the future. Therefore, today was also considered as laying the foundation for her future.
However, three consecutive failures made Yun Xiao somewhat dejected. Moreover, not everything was within his expectations.
Moreover, if the enemy wanted to kill, they wouldn’t care what kind of situation it was. She had to be prepared to respond at any time.
Yun Xiao nodded, but stubbornly said, “I’ll try again. If it still doesn’t work, I won’t try.”
Moreover, her stamina could no longer keep up.
Calculating these things took a lot of brains. In addition to the bad blood that she had lost before, her body was still somewhat weak. Coupled with her previous injuries, Yun Xiao was still a patient. Her physical strength had long since been insufficient. Now, she could be considered to be relying on her own willpower to support herself.
Seeing that Yun Xiao was so persistent, Rong Jin simply nodded. Anyway, if something happened to Yun Xiao, he could rest assured that he would be watching from the side. If Yun Xiao wanted to do this elsewhere, he would not be able to see it, but it would be even more dangerous.
Yun Xiao received Rong Jin’s agreement and immediately chuckled. However, this time, after leaning her body out of the window, she did not calculate her position in her mind like before. Instead, she directly closed her eyes.
He placed himself in a selfless state. Then, his hand followed his heart and took out the hard object in his hand. When the five hard objects were taken out, they were thrown out at a very fast speed, and the interval between them was very small.
After finishing all this, Yun Xiao immediately retracted her entire body and patted her hand freely. No matter what the result was later, she had already done her best, so she did not insist.
However, Yun Xiao, who had finished her work, was also very tired and weak. She took a few deep breaths and lay down casually. The moment she lay down, all the bones in her body felt as if they had become crisp.
A small white snake crawled out from Rong Jin’s palm and slowly entered Yun Xiao’s embrace. It also swallowed the snake’s letter at Yun Xiao. However, it did not have any malicious intentions. Instead, it made people feel very cute.
Yun Xiao couldn’t see it, but she could hear Little White’s actions. She reached out and caressed Little White Snake. She smiled and said, “Are you tired too? Come and sleep with me.”
The little white snake swiftly drilled into Yun Xiao’s wide sleeve and didn’t come out anymore. Yun Xiao patted her sleeve and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Rong Jin lowered his head and didn’t let go of any of the movements on Yun Xiao’s face. The corner of his mouth slowly rose and a faint smile appeared on his face. “So I actually haven’t got a little snake to be favored yet?”
Yun Xiao’s face turned pale and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. However, her eyes were pitch black and she could not see anything.
He coughed lightly. He was just about to ridicule Rong Jin for competing for favor with a small white snake, but his mind swirled. He felt that such words were not suitable for him to say, so he swallowed these words.
There was a strange awkwardness circulating in the air. Yun Xiao opened her mouth, wanting to break the awkwardness, but before she could speak, she heard a messy sound of horse hooves coming from outside.
