Rong Jin felt the danger behind him. He looked back and saw that the long arrow had already approached. One hand was holding Yun Xiao while the other was holding the sword. He waved the long arrow to block it.

When the long arrow and the soft sword collided with each other, there was a loud noise. However, the strength of the long arrow was truly too great. After the soft sword collided, it still did not remove all the strength from the arrow. Instead, it continued to charge forward.

Especially at this moment, the arrows of the long arrows were actually split into three. The three arrows shot towards Yun Xiao and Rong Jin one after another.

Rong Jin’s eyes flashed with a dangerous light. Without hesitation, he held Yun Xiao in his arms and flipped over on the horse. The two of them hid beside the horse. Rong Jin’s soft sword struck an arrow and kicked the other arrow away with one foot.

Seeing that another arrow was about to pierce Rong Jin’s back, Rong Jin quickly reached out and grabbed the arrow. However, the momentum on the arrow was so strong that Rong Jin felt a faint pain on his wrist.

Looking at the black arrow, he knew that there was poison on it.

Rong Jin frowned and threw the arrow aside. Then, he hugged Yun Xiao tightly and flipped over the horse. Very quickly, he sat down on the horse again and rushed forward with his horse whip.

Behind him, Zhou Jingyan had just arrived at the city gate when he saw that Rong Jin and Yun Xiao were about to escape from the city gate. He immediately shot out an arrow without thinking. However, after seeing the long arrow fail, he didn’t know what was going on, but his heart relaxed slightly.

The general’s expression was extremely embarrassed. He had thought that he would be able to dissolve Yun Xiaohe and trap him in the city today. He didn’t expect that he would escape under his nose. He raised his head to look at Zhou Jingyan’s gloomy expression. His heart trembled slightly and he immediately knelt down. “Report to His Highness, this subordinate is defending the city unfavorably. Please punish him.”

“Guard the city gates, I will personally chase after them!” Zhou Jingyan only left this sentence, even though he was chasing after the guards he had brought with him.

“Your Highness, you can’t go. It’s very dangerous to go outside to the border of the West Vietnam!” The general was slightly stunned and immediately asked in confusion.

However, Zhou Jingyan didn’t even look at them as he chased after them.

Seeing this, the city guard general was a little worried. His expression was extremely embarrassed. Now, Zhou Jingyan was already the future emperor, but now, he was chasing after Yun Xiao and Rong Jin until he reached the border city. Otherwise, he would have already ascended to the throne as an emperor.

The general couldn’t help but suspect who the two people who had just escaped were. They could actually work for Zhou Jingyan to chase after them. However, he couldn’t let anything happen to Zhou Jingyan on his territory. Otherwise, whether or not he could save his own life was secondary. The life of his family was the most important thing.

When the general saw this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to guard the border city, while he brought a group of soldiers to chase after him.

…

Rong Jin and Yun Xiao walked forward. After running far out of the city gate, Rong Jin saw countless guards behind him chasing after him with a strange expression on their brows.

Yun Xiao was currently lying in Rong Jin’s embrace. When she leaned over Rong Jin’s shoulder and looked back, she saw Zhou Jingyan chasing after him.

There was a trace of doubt in his eyes. Logically speaking, Zhou Jingyan had never liked to put his life in danger. It was even more impossible for him to personally chase after it, chase it into a domain that they did not know about, or go deep into Country of Xiyue.

But now, Zhou Jingyan had actually personally chased after him, which made him feel strange no matter how he looked at it.

Yun Xiao glanced at the barren land in front of her, and a faint struggle appeared in her eyes. She then said, “If only we could capture Zhou Jingyan at this time.” In this way, although the two countries would still fight, the pressure would be greatly reduced and many casualties could be avoided.

Rong Jin lowered his head and looked at Yun Xiao’s somewhat lonely expression. The corner of his mouth slightly rose, and then he reached out to rub Yun Xiao’s hair.

Once again, Rong Jin drove the horse quickly. He crossed the barren land and did not directly go to Country of Xiyue’s territory. Instead, he brought Yun Xiao into a dense forest on the side.

The forest was piled up layer upon layer, and it was impossible to see clearly. It was indeed fine to hide inside. However, Yun Xiao still had some doubts. If they continued on their way, they should be able to reach the border of Country of Xiyue before dark.

However, Yun Xiao did not question Rong Jin’s decision. She did not say a word, but her gaze was always on Zhou Jingyan, who was chasing after him.

Zhou Jingyan was dressed in military uniform. He was valiant and valiant like a heavenly general. Looking at him from afar, he couldn’t help but be enchanted. However, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but think of the malignancies that Zhou Jingyan sat down on. This way, Gujing Wubo’s eyes were filled with vigilance.

The horse drove all the way into the dense forest. Rong Jin followed the path all the way north. If he continued like this, although he would take a detour, he would still be able to enter Country of Xiyue’s border around noon the next day.

Behind him, Zhou Jingyan saw Rong Jin and Yun Xiao enter the dense forest, and they were about to disappear. His brows furrowed tightly, and he was about to chase after them. However, when the surrounding guards saw this, they immediately said, “Your Highness, your current identity is different from the past. You cannot take risks. There are many dangers in the dense forest. If Rong Jin and Yun Xiao plot, it would not be beautiful.”

Zhou Jingyan grabbed the horse and watched Yun Xiao and Rong Jin disappear bit by bit. A strange expression appeared on their handsome faces. He naturally knew what kind of danger the people would face if they entered the dense forest, but in the dark, something seemed to be pulling him.

He struggled in his heart for a while, and the thought of not letting Yun Xiao and Rong Jin escape occupied the main seat in his heart. Then, he said loudly, “If you are afraid of death, just wait here and I will go chase after you!”

Immediately, he ignored the persuasion of all the guards and chased after the dense forest.

When the guards saw this, they naturally couldn’t let Zhou Jingyan go into danger just like that. They could only chase after him immediately.

After the guards left, the general and his men immediately chased after them. Seeing Zhou Jingyan enter the forest, their expressions became even more embarrassed. They fiercely smashed their arms and said, “It’s still a step too late!”

“Sir, what should we do now?” The lieutenant general on the side also had an embarrassed expression.

“What else can we do? Of course, we will continue to chase after him. If something happens to His Highness the Third Prince on our territory, I’m afraid that our entire Border City’s soldiers will not be able to compensate His Highness the Third Prince for his life!” Although the defending general berated, he still hadn’t lost his rationality.

After thinking for a while, he finally understood, “Go back and bring reinforcements. If you can, have them surround the entire forest. By the way, spread all the news about His Highness the Third Prince in the Border City back to the capital.”

Although the deputy felt that this was a little inappropriate, he still agreed.

Watching the lieutenant leave on horseback, a faint glint flashed in the general’s eyes. Then, he waved his hand and said sternly, “Chase! We absolutely must not let anything happen to His Highness the Third Prince!”

With this shout, everyone followed suit.

…

The sky became dimmer and dimmer, especially in the dense forest. The trees were lush and covered the sky, and the sun could not shine. The deeper they went, the darker the entire forest became.

At this moment, Yun Xiao did not know how long they had been gone, or where they were going now.

Looking back, Yun Xiao said softly, “We have already walked a long way. Why don’t we rest for a while? Even if Zhou Jingyan really chases us here, it will be very difficult to find us. The horse has run for so long, and if it doesn’t rest, the horse will be tired and paralyzed.”

Rong Jin’en said, “Alright,” and then let the horse slowly stop, swaying forward, wanting to find a place to rest.

Very quickly, the two of them found an empty space. Rong Jin dismounted from his horse and brought Yun Xiao down together. He raised his head to look at the sky. The sky was getting dimmer and dimmer now. He looked at the land on the ground and his expression became somewhat embarrassed.

Sensing Rong Jin’s emotional change, Yun Xiao worriedly asked, “What happened?”

Rong Jin glanced at the soil in Yun Xiao’s hand and said softly, “Look at this soil. It’s dry inside, but it’s dark outside bit by bit. Water, if I’m not wrong, it should rain today.”

Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. She did not expect Rong Jin to even know this. She also understood in her heart that since Rong Jin dared to say this, she had already confirmed in her heart, “Then what should we do now?”

Rong Jin thought for a moment. He looked at the trees not far away that covered the sky. Then, he looked at the big trees not far away. The leaves on the trees were very lush. Of course, this tree had a special feature. “Let’s build a simple house first. If it rains, we can also hide from the rain. If it doesn’t rain, we can temporarily take it as a rest first.”

Yun Xiao also agreed, but she understood another meaning from Rong Jin’s painting, “Why do I feel that you don’t seem to be in a hurry to leave this place?”

A smile appeared on Rong Jin’s gentle face. That smile seemed familiar to Yun Xiao. This was something that only appeared when Rong Jin had an idea. From the looks of it, Rong Jin really didn’t want to leave this place so quickly. She recalled the route that Rong Jin had taken with her today. It didn’t seem like they were heading in the same direction at all. Instead, she had a feeling that Rong Jin was circling around in circles.

Originally, Yun Xiao had some doubts in her heart. Now that she saw Rong Jin’s clear expression, Yun Xiao could roughly confirm, “What exactly are you planning?”

“Didn’t you say you wanted to capture Zhou Jingyan? How would you know if you didn’t try?” Rong Jin’s expression was gentle, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became gentler. He said softly, “I’ve been here many times in the past ten years, so I’m very familiar with everything here. I’ve been in this forest a few times before.”

Yun Xiao immediately understood what Rong Jin meant. A faint smile appeared on the palm-sized elegant little face. Her four eyes met, and a tacit understanding flowed between the two of them.
